If you’ve always wanted to partici
pate in the production of the Texas
A&:M bonfire, but didn’t want to cut
down trees or haul logs, now is your
chance. .
This year, the Student Y Associa
tion Bonfire Reload Crew, formerly
the Bonfire Cookie Crew, is encour
aging all students to participate in
the newly reorganized program.
The crew is expanding its operation
to include serving soup as well as
ccfokies, tea and coffee.
And, the Student Y Association
hopes that men will want to partici
pate too.
The Bonfire Reload Crew was
formed to help support the people
who work on bonfire, and to provide
all students with a way to get in
volved with bonfire.
Andrea Beshara, a senior health
education major from Richardson, is
chairman of the reload crew. She
said the name was changed because
Bonfire Cookie Crew didn’t accu
rately reflect what the group did.
The new name was chosen by the
Student Y organization.
Beshara said that another Aggie
tradition, the reload yell, was incor
porated into the new name with
hopes that it would catch on easier.
In addition to a name change, the
program has undergone structural
changes. Previously, the program
did not have specific leadership, but
now there is a chairman and four
sub-chairmen. The sub-chairmen
run the public relations, purchasing,
correspondence and finance com
mittees.
— to come out because Student Y is
for everyone,” she said.
Suzanne Fowler, a junior second
ary education major from Houston,
is in charge of public relations for
the reload crew.
“This year we’re out to encourage
men to come out,” she said. “Men
have another way to support bonfire
now,” she said.
Fowler added that the reload crew
isn’t trying to take people away from
stacking, it’s just trying to give them
other opportunities. If they’re tired
or just don’t want to stack, this is a
way they can still help, she said.
Don Parker, a junior biology ma
jor from Richardson, had a different
opinion.
Although Bonfire Reload Crew is
a Student Y organization, Student Y
funds only a small portion of the
program.
The majority of funding and sup
port comes from the Aggie Mothers’
Clubs. They provide homemade
cookies and other supplies for the
group.
In the past, the program’s partici
pants were only women, but with the
new name and reorganization, Be
shara is hoping men will take part.
“We’re encouraging anyone that
wants to come out — men, women,
fraternities, sororities and the corps
“I don’t think you’d get many
guys to participate in the program,”
he said. “Most of the fellows and
some of the girls will want to get out
there and tote logs.”
Beshara said one of the program’s
main goals is to get more men in
volved.
However, not all students think
men should be a part of the reload
crew.
Spencer McDonald, a senior
member of the corps of cadets and a
civil engineering major from Quan-
tico, Virginia, said, “The program
serves its purpose by allowing all Ag
gies, both men and women, to par
ticipate on bonfire and stack, but I
think men should be on stack, not
handing out a cookie.”
Will Mangum, a sophomore wild
life and fishery sciences major from
Tyler, agrees with McDonald.
“If they’re able-bodied men they
need to be up there on stack,”
Mangum said.
Janie Metzer, an employee in the
A&M student activities office, is the
Bonfire Reload Crew adviser.
Metzer has been with the bonfire
program since its inception 10 years
ago.
“I have seen the program grow
and it’s a really good group,” she
said. “I’m really impressed with how
the students plan these programs.”
Interested students should attend
the first Bonfire Reload Crew meet
ing Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. in 701 Rudder.
A bonfire slide show will be shown at-
the meeting and duties will be ex
plained.

Peephole
$300,000
causes
lawsuit
EL PASO (AP) — A woman has
sued her former employer for
$300,000, alleging the company
knew male employees had drilled a
peephole in the women’s restroom
wall hut did nothing about it.
The lawsuit, which is scheduled to
go to trial in state district court next
January, alleges Aaron Rents Furni
ture knew about the hole and knew
that women were viewed bv male
employees and customers. It says the
company neither fixed the hole nor
reprimanded employees, creating an
intimidating, hostile, offensive envi
ronment.
Linda Frances Slagle, who worked
at the store f rom December 198b to
November 1987, is suing for
$50,000 in lost wages, mental pain,
embarrassment and humiliation,
and is asking for $250,000 in puni
tive and exemplary damages.
“I felt humiliated,” she said
Wednesday. “I felt outraged that
they were able to do this, ifei

Dallas allergist warns of ragweed season
DALLAS (AP) — Along with a break in 100-
degree temperatures and the beginning of a new
school year, the first week of September brings
with it the start of ragweed season, and months
of misery for allergy sufferers.
A wild plant whose greenish-yellow flowers
look like tassels and yield large amounts of wind
blown pollen, ragweed is perhaps the top aller
gen in the country, Dr. Jeffrey Adelglass, a Dallas
area allergist, said.
“This is the start,” Adelglass said. “Ragweed
keeps blooming until the first frost, probably
sometime in November or December. ”
“It prevented some of the grass growth that
usually would have starved weeds, so we may
have more weeds this fall,” he said.
dl:
Although ef fects vary with each person's sensi
tivities, allergy sufferers generally feel worse
during warm, dry and windy weather, he said.
Aside from hibernating at home with windows
shut and the air conditioner running all day, Ari-
