BY JEANETTE SIMPSON The Battalion C urrent Texas A&M students are not alone in sharing in the loss of the eleven Aggies who died in the fall of stack, peo ple from throughout the nation shared their condolences and prayers with Texas A&M students, faculty and staff yesterday as news of the accident spread. Students at Texas A&M Univer- sity-Galveston have canceled their annual Bonfire, which was sched uled for tomorrow, to show sup port for the students of A&M. Todd Southerland, director of Student Activities, said A&M- Galveston has constructed a Bon fire parallel to A&M’s Bonfire for the past seven years. He said the Galveston campus actually travels to College Station to pick up their Centerpole each year. Southerland said the student body president and student sena tors were traveling to College Sta tion to offer the support of the Galveston campus. “We wanted to show our con dolences,” he said. Kristine Hiltunen, chair of the Tfaditions Committee at A&M- Galveston and a junior marine bi ology major, said the University of Texas Medical Center in Galveston held blood drives yesterday and many students donated blood to help the effort. “[The students] want to show [students in College Station] that the spirit of the Twelfth Man is def initely felt,” she said. Leaders from the University of Texas-Austin, the University of Cal- ifornia-Berkeley and Texas Tech University sent letters to A&M ex pressing their sorrow and sadness. Robert M. Berdhal, chancellor of the University of California- Berkeley, addressed A&M students directly in a press release yester day. He said he knows that the strength and spirit of the Texas Ag gies will bring them through this time of suffering. The University of Texas Ex-Stu dents Association has canceled the Texas A&M Hex Rally and has re placed it with a candlelight Unity Gathering at the University of Texas Clock Tower. The gathering will be held Monday at 9 p.m. and is open to everyone. In addition, the University of Texas Clock Tow er will be darkened Monday in memory the accident victims. University of Texas President Larry R. Faulkner will speak at the Unity Gathering. Mack Brown, University of Texas head football coach, will also be speak ing at the ceremony. Faulkner said in a press release issued yes terday that in the wake of this ac cident Texans must come togeth er and help A&M students, faculty and family deal with this terrible tragedy. Ashlee Thames, external vice president for Texas Tech Universi ty Student Government, also ex pressed the deepest regards from the Texas Tech student body in a statement to The Battalion. Not only did other universities send their condolences, but repre sentatives in the United States gov ernment and the Texas Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry, class of ’72, also sent their thoughts and prayers to the A&M community. Perry, class of ‘72, who spoke at the memorial service held in Reed Arena last night, encour aged all Texans to pray for those impacted by this accident, their families, friends and the entire student body of A&M. U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas) said in a press release that the sud den loss of young promising stu dents is tragic, and the students and their families are in the thoughts of prayers of everyone. U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, Class of ’72, offered in a press release what ever assistance that he could offer to A&M, along with his most heart felt sympathy.

Kinard’s day began at 3:30 a.m. when a friend who was camping out for football tick ets at G. Rollie White called to tell her people were asking for anyone with CPR certification to come and help at the site. Kinard said she and her roommate were put on standby and prayed together while they waited to go help. “It was just really unexpected, no one would have thought Bonfire would fall,” Ki nard said. “It’s been really neat to see how everyone has pulled together. It really shows what a good school this is and how much everyone cares.” Joelle Wall, president of the A&M Traditions Committee and a senior psychology major, said the committee notified its 40 members of the need to share the word about memorials and services for the grieving, and 90 percent showed up to help in the effort. Cards informing students of the time and location of the memorial service were hand ed out to students and placed on cars around campus. Maroon and white ribbons were handed out also, Wall said. “This place has been buzzing all day with camaraderie, and I don’t know the word [to describe it]—it’s been amazing,” she said. Students asked themselves what was to come of Bonfire. Jennifer Shoemake, a sophomore general studies major and an EMT, said she was called to the stack site that night and had been there through the afternoon. She said she left the site, only to return shortly after. “If half the people on this campus had seen what I’ve seen, they wouldn’t want Bonfire ei ther,” Shoemaker said. Clovis Mitchell, a junior construction sci ence major, said he knew some of those who passed away in the crash. Mitchell said he didn’t know what to do or say about the whole thing after talking to and touching someone only an hour before and then finding out they did not mal “They were up there with blood,sw tears, building this thing because they to see it burn. It meant something toll should mean something to us,” Mitcbi “There are two ways you can do can not build it, for them, or you can to remember them.” The entire world saw the tragedy on sion, older Ags share the grief studetj vividly as journalists captured throughout the day, while the logs we mantled one by one. Former Redpots were among those into non-stop news coverage andshJi same regret and sadness as the studerf Mark Pool, Class of ’77 Head Civil pot, said he knows Aggies always coff| after something like this. “I personally hope that it contitj think the Aggies who lost their lives!* it would want that,” Pool said. T ing for the families and those injuredtl will recover.” amie Lynn H at Hendersoi jnd was part-t ligh School. “She was jui )eason, a neigh lorthside Elem “She had an i Deason has land family fc improvisational comedy Stuff yourself with Laughter.
