committee to determine the appropri
ate alternatives that need to be taken
in order to accommodate the problem.
“Students believed that the li
brary was being closed without any
of their input, which was exactly
what the meeting was for,” Crouch
said. “Many students were also
worried that we would be closing
the library all together, which is ab
solutely not the case. We didn't
want to eliminate any of the ser
vices provided to the students.”
An idea has been discussed that
would use part of the library space for
10 new offices — eight for faculty
and two for secretaries. Arnold
Vedlitz, interim executive associate
dean of the Bush School said the re
modeling proposal would decrease
study space by at least half.
He added that the remodel pro
posal could cost between $200,000
and $300,000.
Crouch said many students were
worried about their study space being
reduced and the convenience of the
library being compromised. Students
at the conference voiced concerns
that increased library usage and re
ducing the library’s size would be
detrimental to the students using the
services.
“The faculty was being very sup
portive of the students,” Crouch said.
“They know the students felt very
strongly about the library and the ser
vices. Everyone at the library knows
the University is for the students.”

remodel the Underground while the
entire building was closed.”
The Underground has been re
painted, and a new restaurant and ad
ditional seating have been added. The

“We all let our emotions get the
best of us sometimes," Wiatt said.
Because no legal action was ini
tiated, no police report was filed
and the identity of the employee
was withheld.
Dining and Bernie’s Cafe ExpressO
(a coffee shop that will offer Out
bound Dining) are expected to re
open with the Underground and
Sbisa in January.
The open house will give students
a chance to view all aspects of the
renovation, from the dining center to
the Underground areas. It will be held
from 2 to 4 p.m. at Sbisa.
According to Wiatt, no regula
tions pertaining to such conduct ex
ist. Nonetheless, he emphasized
that “unwritten rules” dictate the
need to present a respectable image
of the University while acting in
any official capacity, whether for
mally representing A&M or mere
ly riding in an official University
vehicle.

Bonfire
— Matt McCorrJ
Continued from Page I
At the Thursday meeting, task
force members had orientation and
watched a video presentation of the
Bonfire commission report. In the
future, each subcommittee will op-
'erate independently and plan its
own meeting schedule, Cole said.
But since the subcommittees’ du-
' ties will often overlap, they will be re
quired to collaborate with each other,
j-he added.
L Also, at least one steering com-
^mittee member will sit on each sub-
f-group to ensure cooperation and
{.communication within the task
; force.
Whenever the need arises,
1 Southerland said, the task force
will hold open forums to get stu
dent input.
The subcommittees are sched
uled to submit final reports to the
steering committee by March 1. In
April, the task force will present a
comprehensive Bonfire plan for
Bowen’s approval.
Ceremony
Continued from Page 1
“We worked with [people from] Oklahoma City to
establish something that would be appropriate and es
tablish proper guidelines.”
Invitations have been extended to family members
of the Aggies who died and were injured in the collapse.
Lane said. The ceremony with begin with 12 vollies
from a canon for each of the Aggies who died.
The family members will be seated in a roped-off
circle surrounding a large flame that will be lighted in
remembrance of the Aggies.
Another section will be reserved for the students who
were injured in the accident and their families.
Lane added that the honorees and families will be
ringed by thousands of Aggies and others who come to
pay their respects.
Lane said the ceremony, will include several ele
ments of A&M’s April 21 Muster ceremony at which
students, families and friends honor the memories of
Aggies who have died during the previous year.
Friends or family members will call out the names
each Bonfire victim, and a candle will be lighted for
each person.
The candle-lighting is expected to extend to the those
in attendance — similar to the sea of candles at the can
dlelight vigil observed on the night the 1999 Bonfire
was scheduled to burn.
Bagpipes will play “Amazing Grace” to close the
ceremony.
On Nov. 21 a Yell Practice will be held at 8 p.m. at
Kyle Field in preparation for the University of Texas
football game.
The Yell Practice is scheduled for the same relative
date and time that Bonfire is normally held and will be
similar to a Bonfire Yell Practice, said head yell leader
Ricky Wood, a senior theater arts major.
In addition a traditional Yell Practice, the yell lead
ers will recite “The Last Corps Trip,” and A&M Presi
dent Dr. Ray M. Bowen, football coach R.C. Slocum
and a player from the football team will speak to the
crowd.
The football team, the Corps of Cadets, the Aggie
Band and the yell leaders are expected to attend the yell.
“The purpose of this Yell Practice will be to motivate
our fans and players for our biggest game of the season
before we all head over to Austin,” Wood said in a press
release.
A Midnight Yell Practice will be held in Austin on
the steps of the state Capitol building on Nov. 23. The
game will be in Austin on Nov. 24. at 2:30 p.m. at Ro)/-
al Memorial Stadium in Austin.
