Reveille III enters
fifth football season
By John Curylo
Battalion Staff Writer
When A&M plays Wichita
State Saturday, it will mark the
beginning of the fifth football
season for Reveille III, the Aggie
mascot.
Affectionately known as “Rev”,
the American collie is the only
Southwest Conference mascot
that never has been stolen.
The first Reveille, a spitz, was
acquired by A&M in 1931, when
it was run over by Warren (Rip)
Collins between Navasota and
College Station. The dog was
brought back to the campus and
was adopted as the school’s mas
cot. The name came about as a
result of the dog’s loud objection
to the morning bugle call.
Rev. was given the run of the
campus. The mascot slept in the
dormitories, ate in the dining
hall, and pranced in front of the
band during the halftime per
formance.
After the death of Reveille I
on Jan. 18, 1944, there was a
period of seven years during
which there was no official mas
cot of A&M. Arthur Weinert, a
member of the class of 1900, and
his wife donated a Shetland Shep
herd to the school in February
1951.
Reveille II was spirited and
had a mind of its own. She was
known for the halftime perform
ance, in which she marched in
front of the band, reacting to the
music and marching routines. As
she became older, she developed
arthritis and a kidney disease, so
arrangements were made to get
a new mascot.
Steve and Randy Andes, two
juniors from Fairbanks, Alaska,
knew that their parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Husa, would be will
ing to donate one of the puppies
that their dog at home was about
to have. They made arrange
ments with the school to present
THE A&M FELLOWSHIP of Christian Athletes will begin
this year by presenting Bunny Martin, a nationally known
entertainer and magician, Thursday night at 8 p. m. in the
Letterman’s Lounge of G. Rollie White Coliseum. The en
tertainer is the current world’s yo-yo champion. He has
served as a National Summer Conference entertainer for
FCA since 1965.

the puppy at Final Review 1966,
when Rev II retired.
Reveille II died Aug. 23, 1966.
Funeral ceremonies were held at
Kyle Field, participated in by
Reveille III and the men of Com
pany E-2, the mascot company
of the corps.
Reveille I and II are buried at
the entrance to Kyle Field, where
“they can always see the score-
board”. The graves are marked
by cemetery headstones. Last
spring, the classes of ’72 and ’73
of E-2 chained off the area
around the graves in order to
prevent people from walking
across the graves.
Reveille III is cared for directly
by Gerald Betty, a sophomore
from Springtown, who is this
year’s mascot corporal. Every
year, one freshman is picked
from Company E-2 to be mascot
corporal for the coming year.
“It would be a real honor to
be chosen to care for my school’s
mascot,” Betty said, “but I’m
proud to be in charge of a mas
cot with the fame surrounding
Rev.”
After sports events at which
the dog is present, all members
of the mascot company guard her
on the way back to the dormi
tory, where she lives. She has
the distinction of being “the only
girl in the corps”.
“We feed her twice a day,”
Betty said. “We take her to for
mation, she marches with us to
chow, and then she sits by our
table in the dining hall. I us
ually try to take her out for
exercise at least once during the
day. She sure does love to play.”
Rev is bathed and given medi
cal attention at the Veterinary
Medicine College. She is seen
frequently in class. Rev attends
all Aggie sporting events. Last
April she was part of the line of
students at the funeral of the
late Pres. Earl Rudder.

Europeans to join NASA
in space shuttle designs
HOUSTON <A>) — Two Euro
pean aerospace companies will
join with North American Rock
well in design studies for space
craft to be used in America’s
space shuttle program planned
for the late 1970s.
It will be the first time for
eign firms participate in the U.S.
space program with financial as
sistance from their own govern
ments.
The work of the foreign com
panies will be financed by about
$1 million in funds from their
own governments.
Space agency officials an
nounced Tuesday Messerschmitt-
Boelkow-Blohm of West Ger
many and the British Aircraft
Corp. of England will work as
subcontractors with North Amer
ican.
North American is one of two
U.S. firms under contract to the
space agency to conduct prelim
inary design studies for the space
shuttle, a reusable airplane-like
vehicle envisioned as a need for
carrying people and cargo into
orbit and back.
Messerschmitt, whose ancestor
company designed and built the
world’s first operational jet
fighter plane, will study the shut
tle’s attitude control rocket sys
tem. BAG will study structures,
aerodynamics, flight test instru
mentation, and data handling.
Space officials said the West
German and British governments
each will give about $500,000 in
support of the studies. Both for
eign companies will set up offices
in Downey, Calif., to work with
the North American engineering
teams. Officials said about six
engineers from each country will
he transferred to Downey*
McDonnell Douglas Corp. of
St. Louis also is conducting it
sign studies under a similar»
tract. In effect, McDonnell Doug
las and North American are coi
peting for the eventual priffl
construction contract for spas
shuttles.
A tentative timetable for to
space shuttle program calls fe
it to be operational by abol
1976.
A reusable space shuttle wou!!

between earth and a permanent
ly orbiting space station at
greatly reduced cost.
