Texas A&M welcomes a new Aggie
Reveille VI makes debut Saturday;
selected from long list of candidates
By Jennifer Smith
The Batmuon
Texas A&M students got their first look at Reveille VI, A&M's new
mascot, Saturday during the Aggie football game against Louisville.
Jeff Heath, a sophomore business administration major, held
Reveille VI in his hands when he introduced her to the crowd at Sat
urday's game.
"She's not completely leash-trained yet," Heath said.
Heath, who helped conduct the search for Reveille VI, said this
first public appearance was strenuous to the 10-week old puppy.
"She got tired real fast," Heath said. "She was really worn out af
ter the game."
Reveille VI will not officially replace Reveille V until after the
A&M-University of Texas football game, but she is already living on
the Quadrangle with Heath and Company E-2, the company respon
sible for taking care of Reveille.
Heath said Reveille VI will stay with him for a while before she is
given to Jim Lively, the Mascot Corporal.
Heath said there will not be an official ceremony to give Reveille
VI to her new family, and it will happen gradually as the fall semester
ends.
E-2 is still searching for a family to care for Reveille V.
"We are narrowing down a list of possible candidates," Heath
said.
The committee is looking for someone who is a former student,
someone from a good family, someone who knows Reveille V and
someone who resides in Bryan-College Station.
Both Reveille V and VI will probably attend A&M functions until
the end of the semester.
"If Reveille V is up to it, we will have both of them at the game
and at Bonfire," Heath said.
Heath said the search process for Reveille VI officially began in
August when breeders around the nation were contacted.
Some of the factors used to judged a Reveille candidate were her
background, medical history, coloring, physical features and person
ality.
Heath said he compiled a list of litters and finally narrowed it
down to Pat Marshall from Plano.
"Pat Marshall's litter was the best," he said.
Heath said the Marshall family wouldn't tell them which of the
collies was the pick of the litter.
"She let us figure it out ourselves, and we chose her," Heath said.
Heath said the new Reveille's markings and personality distin
guished her from the rest of the candidates and her litter.
"She has a pretty face and white stockings," Heath said. "She will
be dark like Reveille V, but she won't be too dark.
"She loves people," Heath said. She wasn't shy. She came right
up to us."

ID program holds
department reunion
Weekend allows current students,
alumni to meet, make job prospects
By Geneen Pipher
The Battalion
More than 500 current and
former students of Texas A&M
University's industrial distribu
tion program attended a 35-year
department reunion this week
end.
Cheryl Howell, one of the
event planners, said the reunion
gave students a chance to meet
other industrial distribution ma
jors and network with alumni
who have already established
themselves
scholarships.
"All the money we raised
through entry fees and things
like the silent auction go directly
to scholarships for industrial dis
tribution students," Burger said.
"So everyone benefited - the
alumni, the current students and
future students too."
The weekend's activities start
ed Friday morning when partici
pants in the reunion golf tourna
ment competed for trophies and
other prizes.
Stacy Bush, a senior industrial
distribu-
in the field.
"We ac
complished
what we
wanted to
do," How
ell said.
"We want
ed to give
current stu
dents a
chance to
mix with

alumni back again to help
our students find out how
the ID program will serve
them after they graduate."

alumni and industry people and
give them a chance to maybe
make some job prospects."
Terri Burger, an adviser in the
industrial distribution depart
ment, said the event also helped
students see what a career in in
dustrial distribution will be like.
"It was great to have the
alumni back again to help our
students find out how the ID
program will serve them after
they graduate," Burger said.
"They also got to see what the
people who graduated with this
degree are into now and what
they can expect."
Future industrial engineering
studertts also will benefit from
the money the event raised for
tion major,
said the
first person
to get a
hole-in-one
would
have won a
new truck.
" I f
s o meone
had gotten
a hole-in-
one on a
par three
course, they would have gotten a
brand new truck, but no one
did," Bush said.
The group held a fajita festival
at Duncan Dining Hall Friday
evening and then went country-
western dancing.
The next morning some took
part in a fun-run and breakfast at
Duncan Dining Center where
they were served by members of
the Corps of Cadets.
The weekend's events culmi
nated in a formal banquet with a
performance by the Singing
Cadets and a silent auction
where three footballs, signed by
the A&M football team, were
auctioned off.
King's College of London is offering a
reciprocal exchange program especially
made for TAMt/ students who are science
and life science majors. Participants receive
