When stu dents stumble, our role is to teach them,” Funkhouser said. “Even student leaders stumble, but it’s how we respond and how we learn that they are the indicators of our character.” The Fitzhugh participants stayed at a* study-abroad center in Castiglion Fiorentino, a vil lage south of Florence, from July 1 8 to Aug. 3. In addition to various workshops and activi ties, the participants took trips to other sites in Italy, including Rome and Venice. The fresh men, all National Merit Scholar Finalists, paid for part of the cost. The student leaders and University staff members had all expenses paid by the University. The behavior of many of the students on the trip — especial ly in regard to staying out late drinking — was Ies§ than exem plary, the source said. “It certainly didn’t seem like these were National Merit Scholars. It (their behavior) real ly surprised me,” the source said. The staff members were a\\are of the carousing, the source said, but felt there was little they could do to stop it. Every participant was given a key to the center, allowing them to come and go at all hours, the second source added. “The rules were probably not laid down as strictly as they should have been,” the source said. Reynolds said the Rowan sit uation will be handled accord ing to processes outlined in the MSC constitution and bylaws. Kate Petree, a senior meteorolo gy major and the MSC execu tive vice president for human resources, will appoint a special committee of students and staff to review Kibler’s report and recommend a course of action to the MSC executive committee, which includes Rowan, Ben Moffitt, a junior political sci ence major and the MSC vice president for marketing and also a student leader on the Fitzhugh trip, three additional MSC exec utive vice presidents an:- MSC staff members. inJ Reynolds. icsday, If Rowan’s behavioris; mined to warrant disci:f action, the executive com:! must make a recommendai the full MSC Council, has the authority to ^ggiG!

Hearn said they got along so well when she was visiting, they had late night conversations every night of the week and “totally clicked.” However, when their week was over she went back to Dallas, leaving Hearn with the decision of whether or not to con tinue the relationship. “We became really close.” said Hearn. “But 1 couldn’t handle a long-distance relationship.” Another summer, Hearn met a girl from Connecticut who was on her way to attend college at the University of New Haven. They also became close and dated for a year and a half. Hearn, however, realized *she had been cheating on him the entire time. “She was more promiscuous than I would have liked,” Hearn said.

Without a safety firm, the original timeline for 2002 is now "fluid,” Cole said. The work of the other task forces is complete to the point in which the safety consultant enters, however. As soon as a safety consultant is in place, the planning will resume, he said. “I think we’re still comfort able, everything will be in place at the latest Feb.l,” Cole said. “If we can get the design com pleted by the end of October or first of November, then we can marry all the task force aspects.” CBM Engineers generated 14 design options over the sum mer, six from current and for mer students and three from A&M graduates who work with CBM owner Joe Colaco. Each design follows Bowen’s guidelines of being no more than 45 feet tall, with one end of each log used touching the ground, Colaco said. The designs also incorporate several aspects of the Bonfire tradition, Colaco said. Several designs feature the “t.u. out house,” and all consider the building of Bonfire in a student- led environment using logs of a size and weight that students can carry, he said. Colaco hopes to have the designs cut to three concepts to expand on and presented to the student body by mid-October. By the end of the year, one design should be chosen, he said. thing Irom it. nisi .is he c.m licmjl:* * ^ ivl.K mnship.
