Broadway s home run
sweeps Into Rudder Auditorium
on Sunday, October 26 for a
musical doubleheader! Catch the
spirit of America's favorite pastime
by wearing your baseball t-shirt
and snacking on ballpark favorites
like hot dogs, peanuts and half-priced
popcorn.
S ome say it is the greatest sacri
fice given to Bonfire. Others
say it is motivation in its rarest
form. To one student it is his
beloved means of transportation.
It all began three years ago when
Jose Bouche, a senior mechanical
engineering technology major, be
came the crew chief for Fowler Hall.
The summer of his freshman
year, he went home to El Paso and
got his father’s orange 1976 Chevro
let Nova. He got the idea to paint his
car to match his Bonfire pot. Four
teen cans of spray paint later, his car
was green with a yellow stripe and
had Fowler Crew Chief written on
the hood and ‘98 on the back.
“When I came back to school, it
sure caught people’s eye,” Bouche
said. "I later learned that spray paint
does not stick very well to a car.”
Bouche first intended to wait
and wash his car after Bonfire
burned. He soon found out that
when he washed it, the paint would
run off and turn him green, too.
“The rain pretty much cleans it
for me,” Bouche said.
Not only is the paint wearing off
— orange is starting to show under
neath the green — but additional
graffiti has been painted on it.
A friend of Bouche ran for yell
leader last spring and Bouche cam
paigned for him by painting an ad
vertisement on his car.
The car has been to Bonfire cut
for the past three years. Some days,
the Nova emits a stench, especially
after it spends the day at the cut site.
The car, bought brand-new in
1976 for $3,000, now has 280,000
miles on it.
“We originally called it the
Fowler Mobile,” Horn said.
It has only broken down twice and
makes a biannual trip to El Paso.
Kevin Horn, a senior mechanical
engineering major, remembers the
car breaking down one time on the
way home from cutlhel
problem with a Cokeborf
band, a knife, a pair of]
duct tape.
