Litigation doesn’t prevent foot ball games.” Braus said although she thinks the Bonfire Memorial planned for Fall 2004 is a.wor thy gesture, it does not ade quately compensate families for the losses of those killed and injured in the collapse of Bonfire in 1999. ‘‘My son is struggling to find money to stay in school and pay for medical bills, and they’re building an $8 million memorial,” she said. Senior industrial engineering major Triwahyu Widodo’s roommate,Tim Kerlee Jr., was killed in the Bonfire collapse.

This needs to change.” Ryan Kirkpatrick, co-chair of the Bonfire Coalition and Class of 1999, said there were mixed feelings among the members of the coalition. The Bonfire Coalition pre sented facts about bonfires held across the country in a meeting with Gates earlier this month. Kirkpatrick said he under stands Gates’ hesitation in bringing back the 90-year-old tradition too soon. “I think it‘s a positive thing.” Kirpatrick said. “With the cur rent budget constraints, it‘s dif ficult to justify spending money on a bonfire.” But Kirkpatrick, like other stu dents, said he remains optimistic about the return of Bonfire. “Just because it didn’t bum this year doesn’t mean it’s not going to bum next year,” he said. “In 2004, we are going to work with the administration to get Bonfire to bum again.” Marc Barringer, Kirkpatrick’s co-chair on the coalition, agreed. “I am disappointed with Gates’ decision, but happy that he didn’t permanently cancel Bonfire,” said Barringer, a for mer student of A&M. “There’s a good chance of it returning once the litigation is resolved.” The Vagina Monolgue to be performed Eve Ensler's "TheVagi Monologues," a continationo the Texas A&M's V-Dayffortt: end violence againsNomt: and girls, will be ptforma Thursday and Friday Theater.
