tradition and a good way to test the strength of the
helmets, Kallmeyer said. 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

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. Anglin, who is
now director of the Benjamin

activities. 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.
