Comstock, a freshman bio medical science major, is listed in critical condition and is the only student injured at Bonfire remain ing in the hospital. He has undergone many oper ations since the accident oc curred, including having one leg amputated. was on site; What requirements did supervisors have to fill before they became supervisors; What equip ment was in use during the con struction and What revisions were made to construction specifications in past years?” “It is our intention to assemble the questions that we developed to day into work packages and then identify the professional resources we need to find answers to those questions,” Linbeck said. “There are a staggering number of ques tions, and for right now, there are no answers. ” The commission was presented a log of evidence collected by po lice and university officials which is available at the Cushing Memo rial Library. The evidence, which was made available to the public starting last Friday, consists of photos taken be fore and after the fall of the stack along with interviews with wit nesses and a comprehensive histo ry of Bonfire. Also released Friday were the blood analysis results from 11 of the deceased bonfire victims which con cluded two of the victims were legal ly intoxicated at the time of their deaths. The toxicology report of the twelfth student to die in the collapse, Tim Kerlee, was not available. According to the toxicology re port, Jerry Self had a blood-alcohol level of 0.16, Jeremy Frampton had a blood-alcohol level 0.316, and Christopher Breen had the trace amount of 0.02. The Texas state law defines legal intoxication as a blood- alcohol level of 0.08. Rusty Thompson, Bonfire facul ty adviser, said the two legally in toxicated students should not have been permitted on stack. Thomp son said the investigation should try to uncover how the students got on stack and who observed them in the process. “Obviously they shouldn’t have been on stack,” Thompson said. “But their presence there may be a piece of the puzzle. We just want to know all the facts. ” The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) will conduct an investigation to determine where the intoxicated students ob tained the alcohol and if any state laws were violated. Linbeck said regardless of what evidence is uncovered, the Bonfire commission will attempt to keep as much information available to the public as is possible. Linbeck said the commission will even attempt to create a Website to display all cur rent information. Kalaouze said his store will not printing or sell any more shirts and all artwork, designs, and leftover Bonfire shirts have been “shifted to the students.” Timmons said Traditions Coun cil will no longer sell shirts in the MSC because of finals. The Rother’s Bookstore on George Bush Drive will assist the council by selling the remaining T-shirts, with profits go ing to the Bonfire memorial fund. Timmons said the gross profit from Traditions Council T-shirt sales will be donated to the memorial fund. He said students wishing to purchase one of the remaining “Muster” T-shirts can contact the Traditions Council or stop by their cubicle in the Student Govern ment Office. feel that they wereliBgattalion « of the award and national— tion,” he said.

We are Jews because in every age when the cry of despair is heard, we hope. We are Jews because the message of Judaism is both ancient and modern We are Jews because we believe that the world is not finished; it is for us to complete.
