THE BATTALION
Silver Taps
Continued from Page 1A
beginning at 10:15, hymns can be
heard coming from Albritton Bell
Tower - the hymns became part of
the ceremony in 1984.
“Campus is totally silent,” French
said. “The theme of Silver Taps is
paying final tribute to members of
the Aggie Family. It’s kind of per
sonal. Each person witnesses it and
has time to reflect.”
During the ceremony, the Ross Vol
unteers march to the walkway between
the flagpole and the statue of Sul Ross,
where they perform a 21 -gun salute.
Afterward, six buglers play a special
arrangement of Taps, composed
specifically for A&M by Col. Richard
Dunn in the 1930s. Taps is played three
times from the top of the Academic
Building - to the north, south and west.
It is not played to the east because the
sun will never again rise on the Aggies
being honored.
Traditions Council and the De
partment of Student Life host recep
tions for the families of Aggies hon
ored at Silver Taps, explaining to
them what to expect, and then escort
them to the ceremony. Besides host
ing and escorting families, French
said, members of Traditions Council
also “set an example on campus of
how to act during Silver Taps.”
She said that Taps is an incredi
ble experience that everyone
should attend.
“You could almost see the passion
in ... the families’ eyes when they saw
the number of people who came out
to honor their son or daughter. I could
hear the Ross Volunteers breathing -
the spirit, how much they put into it,
was incredible. It changed the way I
viewed Taps,” French said. “These
students are not numbers. They are
Aggies. At Taps you feel Aggie spir
it. No one tells you what it is. You
cannot see it, but that’s where you
feel it most.”
The Department of Student Life
also provides the families’ names
to the Muster Committee so that
the families can be notified about
Muster.
As a continuing memorial to an Ag
gie who has died, a book related to the
Aggie’s major in the Sterling C. Evans
Library is dedicated in his or her name.
Sharee Klug, a junior psychology
major, recently transferred to A&M
and will attend her first Silver Taps
ceremony on Tuesday.
“I’m excited,” she said. “I’ve
heard a lot about it. I think it’s going
to be a very moving experience.”

systems major, immediately told her
to dial 911. All CARPOOL cars are
equipped with cellular telephones.
She said emergency and rescue
teams arrived approximately two
minutes later.
Mauritzen said Barrow was still
there when she arrived.
“He just looked frantic — like
he didn’t know what to do,” Mau
ritzen said.
Mauritzen said the victims seemed
to have suffered head trauma.
“I didn’t see helmets, but that did not
mean they were not there,” she said.
Muaritzen, Blocker and their pas
senger— who reportedly was not in
toxicated — stayed on the scene to
help.
Hatfield and Davis were both from
Kingwood, Texas.
Due to the Labor Day holiday,
CSPD could not provide any addi
tional information. Goodman said an
investigation is in progress.

Speakers
Continued from Page 1A
Introducing a speaker like Kerlee Sr.
helps bring about that perspective.
“To understand what it’s like from
the family perspective could totally
change people's minds,” Schwery
said. “We’re just thinking about being
Aggies and carrying on the tradition
that’s been here for 90 years, but
there’s more to it than that. If some
thing in your institution provides so
much controversy and elicits so much
emotion in people, then why do it? It's
that way with the Aggie family.
“If this bonfire continues off cam
pus, then it’s going to drag people
down and make things worse than
they were in the beginning.”
Ricky Wood’s position is simple:
he is against an off-campus bonfire.
He said the point of speaking out
against KTFB’s proposed plan is to
ensure that the Aggies stand as united
as they did after the Bonfire collapse.
“The freshmen will be in charge
of making sure that the Bonfire in
2002 is a good and safe one,” Wood
said. “We need to talk about what’s
going on and address the issues.”
The people most strongly affect
ed by the University's decision are
the ones Schwery hopes to target in
tonight’s meeting.
“It’s important to talk to fresh
men,” she said. “But more so, for the
upperclassmen who worked their
butts off last year — building stack
and cutting down trees every week
end — with so much invested —
who never got to see it burn.”

for the College Station Fire Depart
ment, said firefighters have been
battling an unusually large number
of grass fires this summer.
“We’ve experienced what the de
partment would consider some ma
jor grass fires, including one about
a month ago that burned approxi
mately 50 acres,” Humphreys said.
Low humidity also increases the
risk of grass fires, Humphreys said.
“When the relative humidity is be
low 25 percent, as it is now, it's easy
for something small like a cigarrette
butt to start a grass fire,” he said.
The climate also has lake
reservoir officials concerned.
Martin Gustafson, the Am
Corps of Engineer reservoir ma:
ager for Lake Somerville, said
lake is currently five feet below no
mal levels.
“Most bout ramps are still os'
able, but we would caution boatei
of sandbars and low areas. It’s!
a new lake when the water k
drops,” Gustafson said.
The National Weather*Servii
advises people stay indoors dun:

If it is necessary to go outsidi
seek shade and drink plenty
water.
