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.

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.
