Rendezvous With Texas’ Bevo Ends
As Aggies Surrender UT Mascot
Bonfire Plans
Laid And Ready
Plans for the 1963 bonfire swung into high gear Wednes
day night as the bonfire Committee met in the Military
Science Building and discussed arrangements and organiza
tion for the building of the annual bonfire that preceeds
every Thanksgiving Day game with the University of Texas.
Mike Marlow, head yell leader, said that a tentative
cutting area had been found and that it would be surveyed
by a crew some time Thursday.
The proposed area is on the other side of Benchley on
the highway to Heame. Arrangements will have to be made
in order to reach the area without going through Bryan,
Marlow said.

Fees Due
The third installment of fees
must be paid before Nov. 19 at
the cashier’s window of the Fiscal
Office in the Coke Building. Civil
ians may choose at the time of
payment whether they wish to eat
in the cafeteria or the dining hall.
In the way of transporta
tion so far only four heavy
vehicles have been obtained;
two Army personnel car
riers, a hand made low-boy
from the fire department, and a
White tractor-trailer combination.
Various light vehicles have also
been obtained. Negotiations are
under way for the obtaining of
other heavy equipment.
Marlow announced that he had
received a letter from Dean Graff
saying that the Executive Com
mittee had approved the cutting of
classes on Nov. 25. The letter fur
ther announced that only juniors
and seniors would be allowed in
the cutting area in their off pe
riods on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday afternoons before actual
work starts, during the week pre
ceding the game.
On Nov. 20 the center pole is
slated to arrive and be bolted to
gether. By Thursday afternoon
the center pole will be in the
ground and guarding will com
mence that same night.
A guard roster has been worked
up for all the outfits and it is
hoped that the civilians will con
tribute to the guard force.
The bonfire is scheduled to be
lighted off between 7:15 and 7:30
p.m. the night preceding the game.
In any event time will be pro
vided so as to allow Aggies time
to eat and collect their dates be
fore the fun begins.
Steer Returned
In Good Shape
By GLENN DORMGOOLE and DAN LOUIS JR.
The possibility of Bevo-burgers, mounted horns and steer
hide coats left the campus about 1 a. m. Thursday traveling
in an orange and white trailer headed for Austin.
After being the center of Aggie “Good Bull” for almost
24 hours Bevo, the University of Texas mascot, was returned
to his handlers in fine form shortly after midnight.
The 1,700 pound Longhorn steer, which had been held
in captivity by students of A&M University since about mid
night Tuesday, had to give up dreams of marching with Corps
of Cadet Thanksgiving Day as he was shipped off to the
friendly confines of an Austin hog farm, where he makes
his home.
A group of Aggies set outf-

Texas, an MA in educational ad
ministration and government, and
his Ph.D. in educational adminis

Hubert has been a teacher in the

been informed in advance that the
small unit was going into the de
militarized zone on authorized
business under terms of the Ko
rean War armistice. The Ameri
cans and South Koreans were
properly identified by yellow arm
bands each man wore, he said.
One South Korean soldier, a cap
tain, was seriously wounded and
was left behind when the small
unit withdrew under cover of dark
ness, he said. He was presumed
dead by the U.N. Command.
The unit was trapped north of
the Han River near the Hwachon
reservoir. A small boat sent to
evacuate the Americans and South
Koreans also was fired on and had
to be abandoned.
It was recovered later when
darkness fell and the Americans
and South Koreans made their
way south across the river, the
spokesman said.
The U.N. Command told Com
munist negotiators in Panmunjom
Wednesday it was feared the South
Korean captain would die from ex
posure and shock if Jhe Reds did
not hospitalize him immediately.
Communist attackers fired an
estimated 1,000 rounds of ammu

Scharlach To Talk
At Bankers Confab
Here Nov. 25-27
Arthur B. Scharlach, vice presi
dent and trust officer of the Fort
Worth National Bank, will discuss
a relatively new field of banking
at the 12th ann,ual Farm and
Ranch Credit School for Commer
cial Bankers Nov. 25-27 at A&M
University.
His topic will be “Trust Manage
ment of Farms and Ranches.”
Reagan Brown, Texas Agricul
tural Extension Service sociologist
and conference program chairman,
said Scharlach was invited to speak
at the school because many banks
have added a section dealing ex
clusively with farm and ranch
management.
He said a growing responsibility
of bank trust departments is the
management of farms and ranches
left by deceased owners.
Scharlach, who was graduated
from A&M since 1932 with a de
gree in agriculture, has been, with
Fort Worth National since 1960.
He is past executive secretary of
the Texas Veterans Land Board.
weapons, the spokesman said. The
gunfire broke out at about 1:30
p.m. and let up only when dark
ness fell, he said.
Survivors were numb with cold
and exhaustion and were unable to
carry out the South Korean cap
tain.
Unarmed American and South
Korean soldiers often go into the
demilitarized zone to check the
border markers dividing Commu
nist and non-Communist sectors
which were established by the Ko
rean War armistice signed in 1953.

for Austin Tuesday in search
of the supposedly well-guard
ed Bevo. They arrived at Be-
vo’s home about 12 miles
northwest of Austin, the State hog
farm, late Tuesday night.
REPORTS INDICATE that the
Aggies distracted a workman who
lives at the farm by awakening
his dogs and drawing the man out
of the house to investigate while
all the Aggies hid in the darkness.
The man returned to his bed and
did not bother to answer the dogs’
barking when the Aggies walked
out of Bevo’s corral, leading the
animal behind them.
The Aggies then reportedly took
back roads to College Station and
arrived on the A&M campus with
the UT mascot about 3:30 a.m.
Wednesday. After a brief visit on
the campus, Bevo was retired to
a quiet pasture a few miles south
of College Station.
AT ONE TIME during the
search for the Longhorn steer, the
searching party included the Texas
Highway Patrol, Texas Rangers,
the Brazos County Sheriff’s De
partment, the College Station
police and the A&M Campus Secur
ity.
About noon Wednesday the origi
nal procurers of the mascot decided
to turn Bevo over to the Texas
Rangers. However, the Aggies led
the Rangers and Corps leaders to
the hide-away only to discover that
Bevo was on the move once more.
Once again the search was on.
PRIOR TO the trip to the hide
away University of Texas officials
had been called and told that the
steer had been found. Therefore,
handlers of Bevo, members of the
Silver Spurs at UT, arrived on the
A&M campus only to learn that
the whereabouts of their mascot
was still unknown.
The search was once again
taken up for the on-the-move
mascot.
The Aggies who originally took
the steer were credited by O. L.
Luther, Texas Ranger, as being
very helpful in the second recovery
attempt. He said that his concern
and the concern of the UT officials
was to get the steer bask to Austin
in good shape. He said that he
hoped there would be no need to
file charges against any of the
Aggies involved in mascotnapping.
ALL DURING Wednesday eve
ning Luther, Corps, Staff members
and numerous interested parties
and officials of both universities
worked to learn the location of the
steer. About 11 p.m. word reached
Corps Commander Paul A. Dresser
that the mascotnappers were ready
to return Bevo to his handlers.
Luther, Dresser and the two
Bevo handlers on campus went to
a designated location to pick up
the wandering mascot. Original
plans called for the steer to be
taken to the Veterinary Clinic to
be checked for physical condition.
However, after several hundred
students learned of the proposed
rendezvous they converged on the
Veterinary Clinic in such mass that
the officials decided to make the
physical examination elsewhere.
Arrangements were made to use
the facilities of Dr. B. J. Cargill,
a Bryan veterinarian.
THE STUDENT GROUP second-
guessed the move and arrived at
the barn almost as soon as Bevo.
However, Cargill and several
veterinary medicine students gave
the steer a quick physical check
while the several hundred Aggies
yelled, laughed and shouted. Amid
the same yells, laughs and shouts
the Bevo handlers started the en
gine of their vehicle and pulled in
behind Luther’s car and headed for
Austin, carrying with them their
mascot and a probable need for
sleep.

— Clarification —
No, it isn’t Lou.
The Battalion has learned that
Loupot’s P. O. Box number is
335. It seems some people are
confusing this number with the
3305 referred to in an editorial
of Nov. 12.
They are not the one and same,
and were not intended to be
taken one for the other.
The Battalion definitely meant
3305.
