Three Reveilles later, Hall calls it qu
Dr. Charles Hall will retire after 28
years as Reveille's veterinarian
By Jan Higginbotham
The Battalion
R eveille VI is about to un
dergo a major change in
her life. One man has
been involved in the care of
A&M’s mascot for the last 28
years, and he is leaving her.
Dr. Charles Hall, a small-ani
mal neurologist and chief veteri
narian to A&M’s mascot, is retir
ing Thursday.
Hall has served as veterinari
an to Reveille IV, Reveille V and
Reveille VI.
“It’s a tough job, both physi
cally and mentally,” Hall said.
“It has been very fun, though,
"We could not have asked
for someone more dedicat
ed to the job. We're going
to miss him greatly."

her, Hall said Reveille usually
does not experience any major
medical problems.
“We mostly focus on preven
tative care with her,” he said.
“We get her over here twice a
year for a check-up to try to
avoid any major problems. We
usually just see minor situa
tions with Reveille.”
However, Hall was involved
two years ago when Reveille V
experienced a twisted gastroin
testinal tract that required
major surgery.
Robert Feille, commanding of
ficer for Company E-2, the outfit
that looks after Reveille, said
Hall went out of his way to take
care of Reveille when she
was ill.
“When she had her
stomach problems, we
called him at 1:30 in the
morning, and he was at
the clinic before we were,”
Feille said.
Hall took part in the
halftime ceremony during
the A&M-Louisville foot-
because everybody loves Rev.”
Hall, class of ’54, has seen
some major changes in Reveille’s
role at Texas A&M.
“When I was a student at
A&M,” Hall said, “Reveille kind
of ran all over campus doing
what she wanted. Everybody
took care of her. Now it’s evolved
to where she’s a celebrity.”
In his years of taking care of
ball game in 1993 when Reveille
VI was first introduced to Texas
A&M and Reveille V was retired.
When Reveille VI was dog-
napped before A&M’s 1994 Cot
ton Bowl appearance, Hall was
in charge of making sure she
was unharmed upon her return.
“I evaluated her as soon as
they brought her back from
Austin,” he said.

Despite missing her sched
uled shots and being off her
special diet, Reveille was in
good shape.
Hall said many things about
Reveille’s care have changed
over the years.
“There are a lot morei

The yell leaders will be leading a shortened yell prac
tice after introducing the athletic teams tonight.
By Amy Uptmor
The Battalion
T he semester unoffi
cially kicks off
tonight at 7:00 at
Kyle Field during All U
Night, a traditional spir
it rally where students
have the opportunity to
meet A&M’s athletic
teams and witness the
often not-too-pretty dorm
rivalry.
David Kemp, head yell
leader, will host the
event, which will include
introduction of the full
athletic teams and cam
pus leaders. The evening
will conclude with a short
yell practice.
Tim Sweeney, associ
ate director of student
activities and yell leader
adviser, said the All U
Night tradition dates
back to the 1970s.
“It was created to wel
come back students and
also get fired up for fall
sports,” Sweeney said.
Originally, the only
fall sport recognized was
football. Now the volley
ball, soccer and cross
country teams are also
recognized.
“It gives them a
chance to see the teams
as more than just
names,” he said. “You
normally see the players
as a helmet or a number.
This way students can
see them as people.”
Residence halls go in
groups, showing their
pride for the hall they live
in by doing dorm yells
and carrying banners.
Although each hall
tries to show the most
spirit, Sweeney said the
rivalries sometimes erupt
in violence after All U
Night when halls try to
steal other dorm’s ban
ners.
“We’re just trying to
monitor things,” Sweeney
said. “We want to hold
down grode yells and
pushing and shoving that
sometimes goes on.”
Residence Hall Associ
ation President Suzanne
Lyons, a senior geo
physics major, said hall
council members have
been encouraged to stress
safety and friendly rivalry
to their residents.
“I’d hate to see the ri
valries between dorms go
away completely because
they’re fun,” Lyons said.
“We just need to stress
that there is an overlying
sense of unity among the
halls that is stronger than
the rivalries.”
Yellow pots are in
charge of getting residents
out to work on Bonfire, but
they are also taking an in
