and allow for proper drainage
when rainstorms occur.
Contractors created a mound
over the stack site but will not be
digging in that area, Sippial
said. The dirt will be removed
from the center pole site and
dispersed throughout the Polo
Fields once construction nears
an end, he said.
After receiving phone calls
from the mother of Dominick
Braus, a Corps of Cadets mem
ber who was injured in the 1999
Aggie Bonfire collapse, Sippial
said Physical Plant employees
went to the Polo Fields and
marked the site where center
pole stood with a stake, Sippial
said.
The unadorned Bonfire pot
now hangs from that stake, a tes
tament families left behind to
the lives lost in an Aggie
tragedy.
“Basically, the Bonfire site
will be intact when this con
struction is through,” Sippial
said Sunday. ”1 understand why
people would think that area
shouldn’t be disturbed. I’m real
ly sorry that it happened. We
thought that it (construction)
wasn't going to go over that far
but unfortunately it did.”
Planning for this phase of
construction has been in the
works for about five years, he
said. Construction should be
complete by October or
November.
Cranes from the construc
tion, similar to the ones that
were used to lift logs from the
tumbled Bonfire stack two and a
half years ago, stood silhouetted
against the lights from campus
Sunday night in much the same
position they would have been
the morning of Nov. 18, 1999.
Student Body President
Schuyler Houser, a member of
the panel that will judge
Bonfire memorial designs, said
the construction will not affect
the placement of a Bonfire
memorial if one is to be built on
the Polo Fields.
“This construction doesn't
have anything to do with chang
ing the land.” Houser said.
“They're not tearing this up to
impede putting a future Bonfire
or a memorial there.”

Grades
Continued from page 1
“1 don't see how given the complexity of the system
you could go beyond three,” Blasingame said.
The class restrictions, Blasingame said, would
be set at three to prevent abuse of the system.
Constant exploitation could cause a student to hit
the state mandated limit for undergraduate hours
of 175. After reaching that limit, students must
pay out of state tuition. While a grade would be
removed from a student's record under grade for
giveness. the physical hours would remain.
“I don’t know how that cap is going to bite into
this,” he said.
Other Texas universities, such as the University
of Texas and Rice University, apply the same policy
toward grade averaged as Texas A&M.
A grade forgiveness plan would help students
who are trying to succeed, Blasingame said, hut
would not save students who's grades are at a
large deficit.
“You could not salvage a sinking ship with grade
replacement,” he said.
