Coventry, a senior agricultural develop
ment major.
If Southerland is evaluated by the qual
ity of the student development programs
he supervised during his long career, his
tenure will be judged a resounding suc
cess, Coventry said, noting that
Southerland maintained and enhanced
A&M's reputation as breeding ground for
leaders.
Overseeing a sprawling student affairs
apparatus that included the Corps of
Cadets, the departments of student life and
student activities and the Memorial
Student Center, Southerland said he was
able to successfully delegate authority to
underlings.
"The most important job of someone in
a leadership position is to surround them
selves with good people, and 1 have the
absolute best," Southerland said.
During an eventful tenure, Southerland
said the 1999 Aggie Bonfire collapse,
which killed 12 Aggies and injured 27 oth
ers, stands out as the most memorable.
“It was a horror and tragedy that
nobody could have ever conceived, but the
Aggie community responded in such an
outstanding manner.” Southerland said.
The 90-year-old tradition has been
hiatus since then, after former A
President Dr. Ray M. Bowen cant-
plans for a 2002 Bonfire, citing cost
liability concerns. A tradition that can
stand for what was best about A&M i>
easily discarded. Southerland said.
“[Bonfire! represented all Aggies,
past, our present, our future. When
lose it there’s a going to be a void
we’ve all felt that,” Southerland said.
He said that given the cost and s;
obstacles, it’s unlikely that Bonfire
return in the f uture. Traditions are not
ic, but begin spontaneously and ev
over time and Bonfire has probably ru
course. Southerland said.
"I’m comfortable, given the magnitude
of the tragedy, that there not be a Bonfire
as 1 knew it,” Southerland said.
He said that attempts to build a non-
University sanctioned bonfire off campus
will be lacking important segments of the
Aggie community, such as the Aggie
Band, the football team and the yell lead
ers. Such a project would not lie a real
Aggie Bonfire. Southerland said, and for
some students calling their off-campus
stack a "Bonfire" discredits the hallowed
tradition.
