NEWS IN BRIEF
Bonfire fund still accepting donations
An endowment fund established before the 1999 Aggie
Bonfire collapse to provide a self-sustaining source of
money for future Bonfires currently is dormant but still
accepting gifts.
A&M Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. J. Malon
Southerland said the fund, managed by the A&M
Foundation, has about $300,000. The original goal was
a $l-million endowment, Southerland said, but since the
collapse, active fundraising has been on hold. Those
wishing to make a donation may write a check to the
A&M Foundation with “Bonfire Endowment Fund” in the
memo line.
A&M President Dr. Ray M. Bowen is expected to decide
in January whether there will be a Bonfire next year.
Recently, Bowen said the $ 1.5-million price tag of Bonfire
2002 may be too costly and may force the University to
end the tradition. If Bonfire is held next year, the University
will pay for it from its reserve fund, Bowen said, but other
sources of funding will have to be found for future
Bonfires.
If Bowen approves Bonfire 2002, Southerland said he
would likely begin a fundraising campaign for the endow
ment fund. About 5 percent of an endowment fund's
principle is spent, Southerland said.

three lawsuits in progress against sever
al University administrators who ^ome
families say are liable for *he deaths.
“I still don’t think ignoring [the
collapse] will make it go away,”
Kerlee said.
The family of 1997 graduate and
1999 Aggie Bonfire victim Christopher
Breen filed suit against University
administrators in October, claiming
Chris Breen and 11 other Aggies died
on University ground doing something
for the University’s students, wanting
someone to “take responsibility,” said
Breen attorney Steve DeWolf.
When Sean Breen, Christopher
Breen’s brother, heard the University
was not going to hold a memorial event
on Nov. IS, he said he was more than
disappointed.
“I’ve given up trying to figure out
why the University does what it does,”
he said.
Both the Breens and Kerlees said
they will have personal memorials.
