Reveille’s rites
tonight at Kyle
Funeral services for Reveille III, Texas A&M’s third mascot, begin
at seven tonight at Kyle Field. The nine-year-old registered American
Collie died May 31 after an extended illness.
After students are seated in the north side “horseshoe of the
stadium, Mike Clark, commanding officer of Company E-2, will open
the 20-minute rite with brief histories of Reveille I, II, III, and IV.
Donnie Albrecht, president of the Student V Association, will then
speak about the effect Reveille III and her predecessors had on Aggie
Spirit. Mike Marchand, corps chaplain, will deliver the eulogy, andj.
H. Allen, one of Reveille’s former escorts, will recite a poem in honor
of this “First Lady of the Corps of Cadets.
Interment will be at the north end of Kyle where the mascot’s
predecessors are also buried.
Only Company E-2 will attend this burial ceremony due to space
limitations. However the Singing Cadets and the Texas Aggie Band
will perform an the company marches from the field and view of those
in the stadium. Both “Auld Lang Syne and “The Spirit of Aggieland ’
are scheduled for this performance.
During these numbers, five of Reveille’s nine former escorts and
constant companions will bury her. Although two are expected from
out-of-town, four could not attend because they are either out-of-state
or out-of-the-country. However, those assisting (in order of their
service to the mascot) are: Victor Harris of San Antonio, Thomas
Rideout of Houston, as well as Bobby Hovel, J. H. Allen, and Don
Jones, both A&M students.
Bob Vanderberry and his new charge. Reveille IV, will also observe
Reveille Ill s burial.
Pallbearers are Jay Dietz, Mike McCabe, Mike Pauling and Rock
Shoemaker, all seniors in Company E-2.
Reveille III was given to the student body in 1966by Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Husa of Fairbanks, Ala., the parents of two students here then.
The purebred Collie was known to respond with spirited barking
whenever one would signal her with a “blow on the first.
Playful, she was also frequently seen chasing an orange frisbee with
E-2 cadets.
Even though Reveille III attended numerous athletic and military
events during her life here, she didn t slight the academic arena.
Jones, her final full-time guardian, said she often attended classes
with him hut would begin barking if the instructor would talk over
time.
A Memorial yell practice at the stadium follows at 7:30 p.m.
All funeral arrangements are under the direction of Company E-2
although a pine casket was donated by a local funeral home.

9 sites
nearly
finished
Because of a month of sunny
skies, major construction sites on
campus are expected to be com
pleted, as scheduled, by the spring
of 76, said Charles Brunt, systems
construction manager of Facilities,
Planning and Construction.
The following areas, accompan
ied by estimate of total cost, will
be finished bv next spring:
AREA ' COST DATE
1. Shisn Hall renoNittion $1 million winter/ 75

9. North Dorm $500,(KM) spring/*70

Several areas on campus, such as
Mosher-Aston and Ross Street,
may be completed sooner as they
need only a few finishing touches
in landscaping, said Brunt.
Seven major sites, most of which
lie west of the railroad tracks, are
not expected to be completed until
later.

15. Animal and Poultrx $12 million winter/*77

10. Motor Pool $1 million winter/'7f»
lacilitx
Total cost of the construction
presently underway, said Brunt, is
expected to reach $56 million.
The funds for construction origi
nates from several different sourc
es, Brunt said. Monies for auxiliary
services such as the Sbisa Hall
renovation, Mosher-Aston, parking
lots and athletic facilities are paid
for by income generated by the
facilities. Bonds are pledged against
the cost which is then paid for by
room rentals, payments on board
plans, football tickets and parking
stickers.
The building of classrooms and
the improvement educational facil
ities are paid for by the Available
University Fund (a constitutionally-
provided source of income for
A&M). This fund can be used in
only educational areas, and not for
auxiliary services that generate
their own income.
“One of the reasons for the con
struction is a basic desire to improve
the campus for the Centennial,
Bi unt said.

Cadets make switch
By DON MIDDLETON
Staff Writer
The average college student finds
it necessary to move into his dor
mitory room at the beginning of tbe
school year and move out at the end.
But for the average cadet at Texas
A&M University, moving into a
room at the beginning of the year
means a temporary lodging at best.
Once a semester, the corps dorm
area becomes a maze of people car-
rying assorted belongings from one
dorm to the next, from the fourth
floor to the first or from room 207 to
208.
Many cadets are moving because
their unit is joining the rest of the
brigade in another dorm. Some
move to fill rooms vacated due to
early losses and “no-shows ’, those
who change their minds about col
lege at the last minute.
Other cadets, mostly freshmen
and sophomores, move when a
junior who has a carpet cut to fit a
right-handed room is originally as
signed to a left-handed room. (The
position of the sink and room di
vider determines the handedness of
the room.)
But whatever the reason, on a
Sunday afternoon shortly after the
beginning of a semester, the Dun
can quad is alive with the com
plaints of those who have to move
and the whoops and whoo-wahs of
the cadets who were fortunate
enough to miss the call.
Moving day is characterized by
freshmen whose meager amount of
gear is transferred in short order but
who pitch in to help move their up
perclassmen’s belongings in a com
radely sort of way.
Then there is the sophomore who
proudly struggles under the burden
of his new wall-to-wall carpet. He
can later be seen carrying a pair of
maroon and white drapes,
emblazoned with his class number,
still hanging on the curtain rod,
while balancing all his military hats
on his head.
The junior who arrived on cam
pus a week early piffling a U-Haul
trailer is a sad sight to see on moving
day. His collections of beer clocks
and revolving lights cause almost as
much of a problem as putting the
beds back together. Many can be
seen hunting for an extra desk to
replace the one discarded in favor of
a couch and refrigerator.
Seniors are the hardest to under
stand. Some have forsaken comfort
for convenience in their old age.
Others pull out the stops in remod
eling their spartan dorm rooms into
plush bachelor pads.
The extravagant seniors are the
most vocal when it comes time for
them to tear out paneled cabinets
and entertainment centers and start
all over in another location.
Last but not least are those who
don’t have to move at all because
(Cither proper foresight and anticipa
tion of needs or dumb luck. These
(Cadets usually loiter around the
.dorm area until they tire ofwatching
their buddies sweat and toil.
El Chico’s during Happy Hour is
a favorite haunt for Aggies who are
trying to forget that the rest of the
Corps of Cadets will probably be up
until midnight moving out and mov
ing in again.
