NoveiM A THE BATTALION Bonfire scholars named Twelve Texas A&M students were awarded the 1999 Bonfire Memorial Scholarship, which includes a $2,500 stipend per year. The scholarships were established as a memorial to the 12 Ag gies who died in the 1999 Aggie Bonfire collapse. A $2,500 scholar ship also has been es tablished to honor the 27 students injured in the collapse. The first recipient of the scholarship, John Comstock, is one of the students injured in the collapse. He is ex pected to return to school in Spring 2001. Of the 12 students awarded, five are rela tives of the memorial ized students and sev en are friends of the deceased. Scholarship recipi ents must be a relative, graduate of the same high school or resident of the same hometown as one of the memorialized students, Bowen said. The scholarships are funded by individual donors and through gifts received for the Bonfire Memorial Fund estab lished by the Texas A&M Foundation. Lane Continued from Page 1 them before the administra tion — regardless of his opinion on the matter or the number of signatures. ‘it doesn’t matter if it’s two people on the signature or 40,000,1 would take it to [Bowen],” Lane said. “I do not always agree with all the views that are out there. But that’s OK — it’s an im portant part of the process.” However, concerning an off-campus bonfire. Lane said he did not see enough concern from students to advocate KTFB’s position this semester; he said he could not address KTFB’s concerns when he felt so many students were adamantly opposed to an off-campus bonfire. Stu dent senators did a con stituency study, which re flected a negative opinion of an off-campus bonfire among students. Regard less, he said, KTFB has not actively tried to work with student government to reach a compromise. “I have not been taken up on that offer.” Lane said. “KTFB’s opinion is impor tant. It has helped shape a lot of things and their inten tions are good.”- Lane said the urgency lies not in battling over Bowen's parameters, but rather in planning for Bon fire 2002.
