one family, as Aggies and Longhorns, are com
pelled to remember,” he said. “This tragic
event of four days ago reminds us of the
Twelfth Man. Twelve brave Texans have been
taken off the field where they will never set
foot again.”
U.S Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-Texas), a
UT graduate, said the bond between the two
schools was strengthened at the Unity Gathering.
“We all shared in the overwhelming grief felt
by the Aggie family,” she said. “We are all Tex
ans, and Texans stand together in difficult times.”
Student Body President Will Hurd, a senior
computer science major, said the Bonfire tragedy
is one of the darkest times in A&M’s history, but
also has been a proud moment to be an Aggie.
“The relationship between Texas A&M Uni
versity and the University of Texas is forever
changed,” he said.
Ttacey Kulpa, a sophomore economics major
at UT, said the night’s events were unbelievable.
“It is great that we can finally come to
gether as people,” she said.
Susie Carpenter, a psychology major at UT,
said she was able to connect with the tragedy
because she grew up in College Station, and
it is what inspired her to attend the Unity
Gathering.
Ashley Paclik, a freshman animal
major at A&M, said she was impres:

Anvar Melibeov, a journalism grad
uate student from Uzbekistan, said he
has been invited to share Thanksgiv
ing dinner with several of his Ameri
can friends and their families.
“I have a choice to stay in College
Station [without a Thanksgiving cel
ebration] , but I feel this a good op
portunity for me to see the American
culture that I have heard and read
about so much,” he said.
Melibeov said his nation’s holi
days have similarities with American
holidays — those of human values
and families bonding together, giv
ing thanks.
Jessica Stella, a full-time ELI student
from Venezuela, said she plans to go to
Colorado with friends for the break.
“I feel Thanksgiving is a holiday
full of family traditions, where fam
ilies spend time together. For me, it
is another day, one which will be
spent in Colorado.”
