“We need to achieve closure on this situation, and
(the perfonoance review) is the best way to do so,"
said Hammond, a senior marketing major. “This
will reaffirm our confidence in Chris, or it won't."
Duke declined to comment Monday.
Duke contacted Corpus Christi police shortly
after midnight on Oct. 8 and said he had been
approached that afternoon outside his College
Station apartment by a Hispanic man with a gun.
The two got into Duke's pickup truck and the
assailant directed Duke to Corpus Christi, he said.
There, Duke reported, they stopped at a quiet park
ing lot and he passed out when the man pointed the
gun at him. Duke said when he awoke, his laptop
computer, cash and credit cards were missing.
College Station police said they noticed inconsis
tencies in Duke’s story. When police questioned
Duke about the incident, he decided to obtain an
attorney after confronted with problems in his
story. At a second interview Oct. 18, Duke, with
his attorney present, admitted the story was false.

Duke threw away his credit cards but was not
robbed of any property, police said.
This is the second time an MSC leader has faced
the possibility of removal after public revelations
of bad behavior. In 2001, Josh Rowan was
removed as MSC president for inappropriate con
duct during a University-sponsored trip to Italy.
Rowan was accused of excessive drinking and
making unwanted sexual advances to another stu
dent on the trip.
The MSC, with an annual budget of more than $6
million, is one of University’s largest student
organizations.
The recent scandals plaguing the MSC leader
ship will not blemish the organization’s prestige
and standing in the A&M community, Hammond
said.
“The MSC will be remembered for how it
responded in difficult times,” Hammond said.
A special performance review committee, com
posed of both students and MSC senior staff, wi
conduct the inquiry and make a recommendation
to the MSC council. The council will then decide
whether to impose any sanctions.

of the classes who never
experienced any part of the
tradition that has been on hold
since 1999.
Joel Neuber, a senior and
former member of the Corps of
Cadets, was at the Polo Fields
the night Bonfire fell. Neuber
said that during his time as a
Fish Camp counselor, he saw
that even the members of the
current senior class, the last
class to participate in building
Bonfire, didn’t know enough
about the tradition.
Justin Fountain, a senior
member of Company E-2 and
mechanical engineering
major, said like many Corps
outfits, E-2 upperclassman
used the anniversary to teach
underclassman what Bonfire
was like.
“We are bringing under
classman out to tell them what
it was like,” Fountain said.
One student, whose black
Bonfire pot was adorned with
Of Sarge and the words
“Tough and Tenacious,” open
ly wept as he faced the 12
white crosses.
In the middle of the
crosses, where Center Pole
would have stood in 1999, a
white pole stood above the
crosses with a Bonfire pot
hung over it.

The pilot told investigators noth
