UT
Continued from Page 1
Michelle Gajda, a sophomore
anthropology major at UT, said
Bonfire is a waste of time and
resources. She said A&M stu
dents could better spend their
time working for charity.
“Especially around the
Christmas season, they could
hold fund-raisers or donate the
money they spend on beer and
partying,” Gajda said. “There
are thousands of things to do.”
Although she thinks Bonfire
is a waste, Gajda said it is im
portant for a school to preserve
tradition. But she suggested
that A&M and UT could use
their rivalry to support their
communities.
“If there has to be competi
tion, maybe a better tradition
would be to have UT and A&M
compete for who can raise the
most money or donate the most
toys,” she said.
Not all Longhorns, however,
see Bonfire as “just another stu
pid A&M thing.”
Marcus Elliott, a senior pub
lic relations major at UT, said
he has friends at UT who attend
Bonfire every year and love it as
if it were a Longhorn tradition.
And although lots of Longhorns
think Bonfire is senseless, he
said, Bonfire does not make any
less sense than Hex Rally.
“Hex Rally could be consid
ered stupid, too,” Elliott said.
“It was supposed to have been
passed on to us from a witch,
who told us that to win the
football game we had to burn
red candles the night before. I’d
rather go to a Bonfire, where
there are more people.”
Elliott said he admires Bon
fire’s size and is amazed at how
much media coverage the event
gets each year.
“We never make national
news for a Hex Rally,” Elliott
said. “We need something larg
er than our little Hex Rally.
Maybe if we took a big candle
and burned it in a field —
there’s got to be something.”
But despite his admiration,
Elliott has never been able to
drag himself to College Station
for the yearly tradition.
“I can’t go to an Aggie event,”
he said.
But hundreds, if not thou
sands, of UT students will make
the trek into town tonight to
see if what they’ve heard about
Bonfire is really true. Ae
them will be Kevin Bai

a unified morale booster.
“It does symbolize tl
burning desire to beat the
out of UT,” Bain said. “Ii
UT had something similar.
Rally is pretty weak."
Bain said the schools’rir
shouldn’t keep Longhorns
enjoying Bonfire.
“It transcends the rivalr

1 see one.”
But even this Longhorn
