Class of '64 to receive gift of Bonfire
1963 celebration
cancelled after JFK
assassination
By Kim McGuire
The Battalion
If the Texas A&M University Senior Class
Council has its way, the Class of '64 will return
to campus Nov. 24 to celebrate the Bonfire they
never had.
Nearly 30 years ago. Bonfire was cancelled
because of the assassination of President John
F. Kennedy.
It was die only time during its 80-year histo
ry that Bonfire did not bum.
Senior Class Vice President Michael Crain
said the council will invite the Class of '64 to
participate in Elephant Walk and Bonfire. He
said the council has discussed several plans
and are looking for support from the adminis
tration, student body and all those involved
with Bonfire.
"We want to get the people who work on
Bonfire to support the invitation," Crain said.
"Nothing is final but everyone seems to be ex
cited about the possibilities of the Class of '64
returning. To me, sharing bonfire with them is
what being an Aggie is all about."
Crain said Class Council Service Co-Chair
men Cynthia Hernandez and Barrett Fromme
proposed inviting the Qass of '64 back during
a class council meeting in early September.
Hernandez said she imagined the Class of
'64 returning after having lunch with a friend
and her father, a member of that class.
"We were driving past the bonfire sight and
he mentioned how ne never had a bonfire be
cause Kennedy had been assassinated," Her
nandez said. "I was thinking to myself how I
would feel if our class' bonfire was cancelled. A
big part of their senior year was taken away
from them."
Hernandez said some of the ideas she and
Fromme have proposed include a joint pic
nic for the Class of '64 and '94 on the day of
Elephant Walk, inviting a member of the
Class of '64 to speak at Elephant Walk kick
off and at Bonfire.
John Gabbert, '64 Gass Agent, said the class
is estatic about the invitation.
"I think this is the most unbelievable,
selfish, considerate gift someone could give,
Gabbert said. "I've got to give the Class of' r
credit for this fantastic idea. I can't think ol
anything better than a mini-reunion."
Gabbert said the campus was numbed upon
learning of Kennedy's assassination.
"All the students were drained of emotion
after we heard about it," Gabbert said
body had the stomach to go through with it."
Senior Qass President Chad King said Mike
Marlow, Class of '64 head yell leader told him
"It was the most we had to give, it was the least
we could do."
Gabbert said he "felt cheated" years later be
cause he never had a Bonfire.
"I didn't think it at the time but we never
got to be seniors in a way," Gabbert said. "We
never got to be the big shots."
King said the invitation is a good example
of Aggie Spirit.
"There's no other school in the world where
students would be concerned about students
that graduated 30 years ago," King said.

ty Senate meeting. The Faculty Senate itself has
yet to approve the list.
The courses available include all language
classes, women studies and study abroad
programs.
In addition, the committee amended the bill
to require that at least 35 of the 261 classes not
contain prerequisites.
"Some of the classes on the list are 300 to
400 level classes," Dale said.
"We were concerned that too many of these
classes would delay freshmen on their degree
tracks."
Dale said another amendment requiresthal
at least 35 classes have multiple sections.
He said many of the senators have received
calls in reference to the bill and said they ait
required to vote in reflectipn of their con
stituency.
If approved by the Student Senate,the
A&M administration will rule on the bill.

level political game; one level of international
politics and the other of domestic politics.
The domestic level played a large role in
the creation of the treaty, he said.
Mintz said a wave of terrorist attacks in Is
raeli cities in March of this year and the Is
raeli response to those attacks brought the
PLO to the brink of collapse.
Despite the parties' attempts for peace,
Mintz said, "I expect the conflict between the
groups to continue for some time."
Mintz also said that he believes there will
be little change in terms of daily life for Is
raelis and Palestinians.
"The Israelis actually face a different kind
of threat now from Iran and other parties in
terms of unconventional weapons," said
Mintz.
Mintz said it is important that the Israelis
now focus their attention toward that new
threat.
The treaty has already gained support
from most of the Arab nations and from a
number of factions within the PLO.
But, Mintz said, there is still opposition
within the Gaza Strip and the West Bank
Mintz said the stage of building trustte
played an important role in the creation
peace in the Middle East.
But, the Israeli leaders are genuinely int
ested in helping the Palestinians to prospei
in the Gaza Strip, he said.
Mintz said he is optimistic about the
treaty, and will continue to be unless!
causes negative feelings in the area.
"The main question is whether or nob
er countries will contribute to keeping
peace," he said.
