Ld W®R FOOD DAY INTERNATIONAL TELECONFERENCE Monday October 17th 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Rm. 601 Rudder Kick-off for: Texas A&M Second Annual Community Food Drive for the Brazos Valley Reveille Fund finances upkeep of A&M mascot By Julie Scoggins Reporter Football games and other Texas A&M events would not be the same without Reveille, A&M’s mascot. However, getting her to events and taking care of her costs money. Where does the money come from? Mascot Corporal Dan Debenport, the person responsible for Reveille, said that all money for Reveille’s expenditures come out of a fund set up for her — the Reveille Fund. “We receive the interest off of dona tions made by alums,” Debenport said. “It is about $800 a year.” The fund covers expenses such as out- of-town football games, food and trips to the veterinarian. Debenport said before the fund was set up the Corps had to ask for donations from alumni each time they wanted to take Reveille to an away game. Expenses for three people to take her to out-of-town games are paid for through the account, Debenport said. The expenses include gas, meals and lodging. Debenport said he takes Reveille to the veterinarian every other month. “I can spend my own money and get reimbursed or I can estimate ahead of time and receive a check,” he said. A sophomore in Corps company E-2 always is chosen as mascot corporal. Selection begins a semester before the new corporal takes over. Interested freshmen in company E-2 are considered for the job. Debenport said he was quizzed once a week on the history of Reveille by the previous mascot corporal, and his grades and record in the Corps were taken into consideration. Debenport is completely responsible for taking care of Reveille. She is almost always with him, he said. “She goes to all my classes with me and sleeps on my bed at night,” he said. Reveille is the fifth in the line of Texas A&M mascots. Reveille IV, now 13 years old, could not be as active as she needed to be. “She was retired because she had ar thritis and was not able to go on com pany runs and to classes anymore,” De benport said. He said that Reveille IV now lives in Bryan with an A&M professor. Photo by Jay Janner Reveille V watches the action at an A&M football game. Reveille is now four years old. She took over as mascot on December 1, 1984 when she was just three months old. She was selected from 2,000 dogs that were going to be do nated to Texas A&M.

High technology improves shelf lif| of eggs, lowers their cholesterol levl By Doug Evans Reporter Egg products now have new market ing potential thanks to high technology. Dr. David Mellor, poultry marketing specialist with Texas A&M’s Agricultu ral Extension Service, said food compa nies are using high technology to de velop new products for use in the food service business. Fast-food chains will benefit most from the new advances. Mellor said they can now make the claim of healthier egg products and increase the shelf life of in gredients, thereby reducing spoilage. The high-technology eggs will benefit food production in several ways. Consumers can look forward to low- cholesterol liquid eggs that last two months under refrigeration, Mellor said. “This means big savings for food serv ices in time and space,” Mellor said. “Eggs will be easier to store and they will keep as long or longer than shell eggs.” The high technology processing, de veloped by North Carolina State Univer sity, kills harmful bacteria without cook ing the eggs. Mellor said, however, that the product does have some disadvantages. “It cannot be used for fried or poached eggs or anything using the whole egg,” Mellor said. Low-cholesterol eggs are the result of applications of existing high technology, Mellor said. The University of Wisconsin uses car bon dioxide to reduce cholesterol, Mel lor said. The technique is a new variation on an old idea. “The chemical process used to decaffi- nate coffee is now being used to decrease cholesterol in eggs,” Mellor said. The carbon dioxide method is effec tive and easy to market, he said. “This process removes about 90 per cent of the cholesterol,” he said. “It is beneficial to people with a cholesterol problem. Food services can produce healthier omlets for them.” High technology also is helping to re duce calories in egg products, he said. Michael Foods Inc. is marketing a low calorie and low-cholesterol fat substi tute, Mellor said. It is made from natural egg and dairy products and is used in table spreads and ice cream. “The new fat substitute can cause a major calorie reduction in adapted foods,” he said. “The product contains less than one-fifth the calories of the fat it is replacing.” The new products will be sold primar- Professor: All views of God true By Eric Prather Reporter There are two conflicting conceptions of God, Dr. Manuel Davenport told the Faculty Forum yesterday. Davenport, a Texas A&M philosophy professor, discussed the two conflicting conceptions, the ordinary conception and the theological conception. The ordinary conception is that Christ became a human, was bom of a virgin, was crucified and rose from the dead, Davenport said. The theological conception is that Christ is a infinite, perfect being beyond human understanding, he said. Davenport explained four ways that these conceptions fit together logically. The first way is that the ordinary con ception is false and the theological con ception is true. In this situation, Daven port said, the nature of God is beyond human understanding. Therefore, no one really knows what “God” means, he said. The second way is that the ordinary conception is true and the theological conception is false. “I get a picture of God that I can un derstand, but it’s a picture of God that is very weak, ineffectual, not very bright and is insulting to God and to people,” Davenport said. { The third way is that both conceptions are true. Because of our inability to fully understand God, this third way tells peo ple that their views are incomplete and need to be revised, he said. The fourth way is that both concep tions are false. This is the atheist view, Davenport said. The atheist takes God ic®,- bay Slip into the Bay Matilda Bay $30 S0 5 gallon keg Limited Supply-Order Now!
