The spirit of “bonfire ’87” is in
full swing with the Aggie redpots
clearing the way.
Noon Wednesday at the biweekly
Lambda Sigma Fountain Forum,
eight senior redpots spoke to fellow
Aggies on behalf of the Texas Aggie
bonfire.
“There are only two complaints
about bonfire,” said Andy Townend,
one of the eight senior redpots.
“The first is it’s bad bull to kill trees.
The second is it affects the grades of
those who work on bonfire (because
it requires so much of their time.)”
But this year the cut site is located
on a future mining operation site, so
the trees must be cleared off the
land anyway, Townend said.
As for grades, last year the grade-
point ratio of the people in charge of
bonfire was 2.80, he said.
The eight senior redpots ultima
tely are in charge of the bonfire,
which is being constructed on Dun
can Field.
They make all the decisions and
are in charge of the eight junior red
pots — their “sons” — who are in
charge of actually building the bon-
i fire, obtaining the equipment and di
recting the people who are working
on the stack.
Scott Mallory, a senior redpot and
[head stack, said, “We train the junior
! redpots to be next year’s senior red-
(pots.”
I The head stack oversees the work
| of the senior redpots.
Five senior coordinators, known
as brownpots, act as mediators be
tween the senior and junior redpots.
Like the junior redpots, they also are
responsible for equipment and the
actual building of the bonfire.
Every dorm has a yellowpot and
crew chiefs who are in charge of or
ganizing their residents and getting
them out to bonfire.
“If you help build bonfire
it will mean a great deal
more to you. You get out
of it what you put in to it. ”
— Ned Murphy, a senior
redpot
The yellowpot is in charge of the
whole dorm while each floor has a
crew chief.
In addition, commanding officers
in the Corps are in charge of getting
each unit in their outfits involved
with building the bonfire.
The redpots say they encourage
everyone to participate in the bon
fire action, including students who
live off campus and women.
“The big misconception about
bonfire is only Corps of Cadet mem
bers and students on campus build
bonfire,” Scott Chapman, a senior
redpot, said.
Sharon Walker, a sophomore in
general studies, said she enjoys
working on bonfire.
“It’s a blast,” Walker said. “I love
it. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it.”
Senior redpots taught a one-hour
safety class before the first bonfire
cut Oct. 3, and a safety class lasting
15 minutes also is being offered at
the cutting site during cutting hours,
usually 8 a.m. to dark.
The class covers the basics of cut
ting trees and is a requirement for
anyone working at the site. Tow
nend said that unless a person at
tends one of the classes and is issued
a safety card, he cannot work at the
cutting site.
Mallory said, “Our job is mainly
safety and a good time.”
Every year many students come
out to join in the age-old Aggie tra
dition.
Mike Guerra, a senior redpot,
said, “Old Ags donate time, services,
equipment and money to the bonfire
cause.”
Former students contribute about
90 percent of the money for bonfire,
Townend said.
But current students actually
build bonfire and contribute long
hours of hard work accompanied by
high spirit.
Ned Murphy, a senior redpot,
said, “Not only do you build bonfire,
but you also build friendships. It is
one of the best times to get to know
the people in the Corps as real peo
ple.
“If you help build bonfire it will
mean a great deal more to you.
“You get out of it what you put in
to it.”
