THE BATTALION

Chris Tolson, from Bryan, finds Reveille IV a
better attraction than one of last year’s basket
ball games. Reveille was taken to the Texas
A&M University small animal clinic for treat
ment of two mild seizures before spring break.

Reveille IV, Texas A&M Universi
ty’s mascot, was taken to the Texas
A&M small animal veterinary clinic
the week before Spring Break after
having two mild seizures.
Mascot corporal Doug McGown
said one seizure occured in the dor
mitory, where Reveille stays with
Company E-2, and the other occur
red in the Memorial Student Center.
Both seizures happened during the
first week of March.
Dr. Neil Van Stavern III, associate
professor of small animal medicine at
the veterinary clinic and Reveille s
doctor, said Reveille has hypothyr
oid condition, and it is not unusual
for her to have convulsive seizures.
However, Van Stavern said the
veterinary clinic plans to keep a close
watch on her to be sure any possible
seizures in the future are not more
severe.
An electroencephalogram, which
traces brain waves, was done on Re
veille and Van Stavern said nothing
alarming was found. He said it is pos
sible that Reveille is an idiopathic
epileptic, which means she has a
form of epilepsy that has no known
cause. Van Stavern said it is some
times linked to genetic problems,
although they are not sure in Reveil
le’s case.
She will be put on thyroid medica
tion, which she had been given dur
ing the 1979 football season, Van
Stavern said. The medication was
given then for a skin problem that
caused hair loss, a dry, dull coat,
and weight loss.
He said if the thyroid medication
does not help the convulsions she
will be put on anti-convulsants.
Van Stavern said Reveille’s life is
in no danger, however.
Reveille, a 4-year-old collie, was
donated to Texas A&M in 1975.
Reveille is Texas A&M’s fourth
mascot since 1931. The first, a stray,
was hit by the car of some Aggies.
They took her home and she was
named Reveille because she barked
continuously during the bugle calls
each morning at the Corps dorms.

Public education, university fund
ing and the government treatment of
businesses are issues which must be
confronted quickly, a candidate for
the state senate said Monday.
Officials set
election class
Brazos County is sponsoring a
school for election officials and other
interested parties for the seven-
county region in cooperation with
the secretary of state’s office.
The school will be held Thursday
at 6:30 p.m. in the Brazos Center.
The session was designed in pre
paration for all upcoming elections
and has been designed to train offi
cials on polling place procedures,
voter registration, with special em
phasis on recent changes in the law.
Two films will be shown explain
ing the punch card and paper ballot
systems, followed by a joint discus-
Kent Caperton, speaking to a
Texas A&M University political sci
ence class, said schoolteachers in
Texas are not being paid enough.
“Schoolteachers (in Texas) are not
compensated in accordance with
their abilities, ” he said. “It’s a legiti
mate issue that must he faced.”
Caperton is running against in
cumbent Bill Moore, D-Bryan, who
has served as senator for 31 consecu
tive years and who has not been con
tested for the position in 14 years.
“I believe in the spirit of competi
tion,” Caperton said. ‘‘I am a clear
alternative to the incumbent. ”
Caperton added other persons
have considered running against
Moore in the past, but he has always
“intimidated potential challengers
from running.”
Legislators should not hold office
too long, Caperton said.
“I’m going to serve, make my con
tribution and get out,” he said. “We
don’t need to have professional poli
ticians running government.
“I’m going to introduce legislation
which would limit the terms of sena
tors and house members.”
Caperton said he felt three terms
at the most was sufficient for legis
lators.
Caperton also stressed the import
ance of the Permanent University
Fund (PUF) to the Texas A&M Uni
versity system. Texas universities
have recently come under criticism
by Gov. Bill Clements for money
waste.
“The PUF must be retained,” he
said. “There is waste at the staff level
in any university. I’m very content
with our academic structure (at
Texas A&M). But it is wise for any
institution to examine itself and see
that its staff is running as it should. I
disagree with the governor’s
approach to the subject, but we must
look at individual institutions and
agencies.
“I had a businessman tell me the
other day he had Texas A&M faculty
members coming up to him and ask
for work because they were bored.
They had nothing to do at A&M.”
Caperton was upset about Moore’s
refusal to debate on the issues.
“It’s indicative of the incum
bent,” he said. “I’d love to debate.
Obviously I was disappointed.”
Caperton also said small business
was being hindered by government

“Businesses need and want a mar
ketplace free from government in
tervention,” he said. “Of course, we
would need certain reserve require
ments to keep small businesses
strong. There needs to be more con
trol over the bureaucratic arm of the
government. First, we need to
address it at the state level and later
at the national level.’
Caperton said antitrust legislation
is vital.
“I couple deregulation of busines
ses with stronger antitrust legisla
tion,” he said. “Government regula
tion has created a lot of inconsisten
cies in the marketplace. Stronger
antitrust legislation ensures a stron
ger marketplace.
