But he suffered a head injury when another Corps member bashed his helmet against Kallmeyer’s. He was taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a mild con cussion and released with advice to rest. Kallmeyer said he attended the football game that Saturday but didn’t feel well and was suffer ing dizzy spells. He left early and returned to his room to rest. Kallmeyer said he felt well enough later that day to get behind the wheel, but is uncer tain whether he fell asleep while driving or blacked out because of his concussion. “We’ve gone to doctors and tried to figure that out, but there’s no way to tell what caused it,” said Kallmeyer, a senior animal science major. Brazos County District Attorney Bill Turner’s office reviewed the pot bashing incident but chose not to pursue hazing charges against the Corps. The families of the victims believe the University contributed to the accident by allowing the hazing Time Capsule Continued from page 1 behavior and the items sealed in the time capsule reflect those values, he said. Altendorf said the idea orig inated in the Fall of 1999 when the convocation committee met to discuss the 125th anniver sary of Texas A&M. The proj ect was given to a special sub committee that began brain storming ideas. Originally, the committee wanted to bury a 2002 maroon Volkswagen Beetle, but then decided to downsize to the smaller version that was buried Saturday morning. The com mittee completed an extensive amount of research to assure the preservation of the University’s mementos, Altendorf said. The capsule is a stainless steel box constructed by Tom Weimar, instrument shop supervisor, and Danny Crocker, master instrument maker of the Mechanical Instrument shop in the Department of Physics. The items were put into the time capsule along with argon gas to help preserve the items, and the box was then welded shut for burial. During the project’s organi zation, the original funds for the project were pulled and the committee was ready to delete the entire mission. Altendorf said the Class of 1998 came forward with the funds to com plete the project. Kara Wilson Anglin, repre sentative from the Class of 1998, said, one of the biggest challenges of the project was deciding what to put into the time capsule.

Bqt Calp said A&M was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit because it would have been difficult to prove a case against the University. The plaintiffs had hoped the hazing informa tion would become public during the trial against TKE and Kallmeyer. With legal recourses all but closed, Calp said, the families are taking their case to the public. “We just want A&M to acknowledge what hap pened and make some changes,” Calp said. Maj. Doc Mills, spokesman for the Corps, said University officials looked into the pot bashing incident at the time and concluded it did not con stitute hazing and no disciplinary action was taken. Kallmeyer’s injury resulted from “impromtu horseplay,” Mills said, and the practice could not be defined as hazing because it occurred among freshmen, and was not an initiation ritual imposed by upperclassmen. Shortly after the incident. Corps officials issued a prohibition against pot bashing. Mills said. With the absence of Bonfire, for which the pots were intended, the practice has likely died out, he said.

Along with the items left by the Class of 1998 was a variety of collections from other University departments, including an undergraduate catalog. University budgets, a Red, White and Blue Out poster, a photo of the yell lead ers and many other items that represent the achievements and integrity of A&M.
