Carey Says
Could Oust Union
If James IIoffn is elected to fill
ousted president Dave Beck’s post
as head of the g’iant Teamsters
Union at the union’s convention
now being held in Miami Beach,
Fla., that union will be immediately
suspended by the AFL-CIO and
probably expelled at the annual
convention in early December,
James B. Carey, vice president of
the AFL-CTO said to a Great Is
sues audience in the Memorial Stu
dent Center last night.
Speaking at the first Great Is
sues presentation of this school
year, Carey used what he called a
“tough-minded realism” to paint a
pessimistic future of the nation’s
economic future.

Flu Vaccine
Here Today:
$1 per Dose
Anti-flu vaccine became
available to students today at
the hospital for the usual $1
per dose fee.
The hospital at present has
approximately 700 doses on
hand, but expects to receive
more in the immediate future,
according to Dr. Charles Ly
ons, medical director.
Dr. Lyons pointed out that
most students who had the flu
have temporary immunity or
as much as afforded by the
vaccine which is about 70 per
cent effective.
Dr. Lyons has asked that
students desiring the shots
come in the front door of the
old part of the hospital be
tween 8 and 5.
“We see a new type of unionism
coming soon, though,” said Carey,
who is also president of the Inter
national Union of Electrical, Radio
and Machine Workers. “The demo
cratic labor movement will purge
itself of racketeering and gangster
elements as finally and as furiously
as it rid itself of the Communists
just seven years ago.”
Departing from his prepared
text, Carey told the large audience
that he expected to see the AFL-
CIO expel erring unions them-
sel ves, but also try to help the in
dividual members of the unions
form better organizations. He
pointed out that there are over
(15,000 labor leaders in the country
who are honest and not ashamed
to be connected with labor.
“With automation of factories
depriving more workers of their
jobs all the time I don’t see how
we can at present call the labor
system in the U. S. ‘normal’ ”, he
said. “But our aim is still, as al
ways, full employment and con
stantly increasing standard of liv
ing for all Americans.”

Congressman 01 in Teague last night termed Air Force
■ I plans to close Bryan Air Force Base “as good as signed.”
™ Teague, still in Washington, D.C., said in a telephone
conversation he had talked to Air Force officials yesterday
and they gave him little hope of changing plans.
The Congressman said he had checked some figures on
which the Air Force claims it based its decision and definite
ly found some “discrepancies.”
Teague earlier had indicated that two sets of Air Force
figures on money needed to place BAFB in condition had
been found in his research on the problem.
One set showed $30 million needed while another showed
only $8 million. +~~

Money Mad!
SCOPTENICE, Poland—OP) —
Tadeusz Mitery is under arrest
here for deceiving a 23-year-old
girl.
Police said yesterday he took
her walking in a wood, persua
ded her to undress, ran off with
her clothes, watch and handbag,
and sold them.
Travis Bryan, Bryan bank
er and longtime backer of BA
FB, when told of Teague’s
findings said he could not be
lieve it meant finally that the base
would be closed.
“When all the facts are in on
advantages and facilities of BAFB,
they will change their minds,”
Bi'yan said.
Bryan re-emphasized Teague’s
findings of discrepancies.
“Figures on cost of putting
BAFB into shape must be padded
some $22 million,” he said.
He said he could not understand
Air Force reasoning on plans to
close the base. Bryan has better
facilities for taking care of a base
than some other locations not be
ing considered for closing, he ob
served.
Bryan, Teague and the Chamber
of Commerce military affairs com
mittee have been studying the
problem closely for some months.
Teague indicated last night he
was leaving Washington today and
would arrive in this area sometime
this weekend.

Rev' Wins Huge Following
Following In Her Steps
Reveille IT, pride of modern Aggielaml, stands in the shad
ow of a memorial to Reveille I, mascot of * Old Army daj s,
at the main gate to Kyle Field.
By RONALD EASLEY
Aggie sph'it takes life at each football game
halftime when a 50-pound, brown and white shepherd
dog romps back and forth through the 240-piece
band captivating thousands of fans.
The story of this loveable Aggie mascot, Reveille
IT, and her earlier counterpart, Reveille I, begins 26
years ago when a group of Aggies returning to
A&M from Houston in an automobile ran over a
little mongrel pup near Navasota.
They picked up the yelping, injured pup and
brought her to Colleg’e Station and began one of
the greatest traditions in the history of a tradition-
rich school.
The next morning the dog began barking at the
sound of reveille and was immediately dubbed
“Reveille.”
For 33 years the little dog endeared herself to
thousands of Aggies’ heai’ts as the school’s official
mascot.
In January, 1944 Reveille I died and was buried
with full military honors. A memorial in her honor
was erected at the north entrance of Kyle Field.
Two dogs, “Rusty” and “Spot” 1 were then taken
in as the unofficial mascots of the school, but never
regained the prominence of Reveille I.
In an election in the fall of 1951 the students
expressed a desire for another mascot.
Their wish was granted in January of 1952, when
the late Arthur Weinert, ’00, donated a three-
month-old Shetland shepherd pup to the school.
Reveille IT began living with sophomore Sam
Netterville in “A” Quartermaster, and she has lived
with the Quartermaster Corps ever since.
This year she is living with sophomores Doyle
Krauss and George Ohlendorf in Dorm 3. Krauss
and Ohlendorf have complete charge of caring for
“Rev,” including feeding her.
Reveille eats two cans of dog food a day, but
usually turns up her nose at the dining hall food,
says Ohlendorf. She marched in all formations to
chow.
Without fail Reveille is up front at The Grove
yell practice barking- at the top of her voice with
the Aggies.
Like all Aggies she is inspired and “wildcats”,
in her own doglike way, at the first strains of
“The Aggie War Hymn.”
On Corps trips “Rev” is usually cared for by a
member of the band. She guards with jealous pride
.the position of the famed A&M band on the field at
halftime, chasing all those who would even dare
to tread the sidelines. But she has never bitten
anyone.
As long as there is a Texas A&M there will be
a Reveille symbolizing the intense love of all Aggies
for their school.
