ignored safety concerns and allowed
untrained students to build a complex
structure with no supervision.
Following the commission’s report.
A&M President Dr. Ray Bowen announced
that Bonfire would be postponed until 2002
and imposed several safety restrictions,
including the elimination of “cut” and over
sight by professional engineers.
“This restructuring must produce a well-
managed student project, which is forever
safe, which projects a positive image fortlt
University and which respects the acader..;
demands on our students,” Bowen said.
The Bonfire Steering Committee
group of students and staff charged win
designing a new Bonfire within Bowen
parameters, is expected to complete its wori

Despite great strides in the
academic world, Bowen readily
admits the problem of A&M’s
limited diversity.
“You can’t rationalize a his
tory where African-Americans
could not go to this University,”
said Bowen. “That was wrong.
That should have occurred the
day that we opened in 1876. If
it had happened, our state
would be in better shape than it
is now, in terms of having a
robust, strong middle-class
African-American population.”
Bowen speaks of rocky
progress with no immediate
solution handy.
“We were making good, but
not excellent, progress,” said
Bowen, “There are no barriers to
it in terms of our private thoughts
and our commitment to the idea,
but the remedy is to put the
results on the table to show the
progress. [This year] we had,
for example, the largest number
of Hispanic applicants ever in
A&M’s history.The dilemma is
that it did not translate into the
largest number of enrolled
Hispanics in our history.”
Bowen blames legislation
for the impotent application
statistic, primarily a 1996
Texas vs. Hopwood decision
that forbade consideration of
race in admissions.
“We have this restriction
related to Hopwood where you
You cant
rationalize a
history where
African-Americans
could not go to this
University. That
was wrong. That
should have
occurred the day
that we opened
in 1876. ”
— Ray M. Bowen
A&M president
can’t get minority scholarships
where a lot of [out-of-state] uni
versities can,” he said. “In the
competition to get people to
accept the offers, we are some
how disadvantaged."
When he finally descends
from the centerstage of A&M as
University president, Bowen
plans to teach mechanical engi
neering, but he says he will not
be at a loss.
“I won't be leaving anything
behind — I’ll still be here,”
Bowen said. “I won't have the
daily responsibility of being the
University president, but I intend
to be part of the University com
munity and be able to partake of
everything that takes place here.
So I won’t leave with the feeling
that I've lost something. I guess
the principle loss will be losing a
good parking place.”
Until then, however, Bowen
has a series of celebrations hon
oring A&M’s 125th anniversary
to attend.
Describing the upcoming
events — including a conference
and a convocation — Bowen
said he hopes to inform the pub
lic of A&M’s caliber of educa
tion. Headline events for the cel
ebration will include an invita
tion by Schuyler Houser, speech
es by noteworthy Aggies (includ
ing Brooke Leslie Rollins,
A&M’s first female student body
president), a quiet coffee and
reception, and a performance by
the Aggieland Orchestra.
In addition to the annivei
sary's highlighted events, agali
commemorating
University’s 125 year histoi)
will provide another outlet
celebration.
Although the festivities n
include only 1,000 guests,
marily donors, employees,
alumni, Bowen said A&M 1
anniversary should be reci
nized by all Aggies.
“[The 125th anniversary]is
milestone year that will provi
our faculty, staff, students,
mer students, and other mem
bers of the Texas A&M fan#
the opportunity to take a bne:
glance back on the institution 1 !
array of accomplishments andt
long look forward as we contin
ue on the road to excellence."
While the gala will provi
festivities for those associal
with the campus, a conferenci
will allow those not affiliaii
with A&M to appreciate
qualities the campus has
offer.
“The conference [will i
cuss] topics which are highlyrd-
evant to the kind of university w
want to be,” said Bowen. Tel
have people at the convocatk
from all over the United Statesto
hear about this university,
hopefully leave with a greater
|l-white.
