Memorial Continued from page 1A that will surround them would best communicate who an indi vidual was. University of Texas professor Stephen Daly, an expert in bronzes, serves as the executive artist and designer for the project. Shemwell said the sculpture proj ect is an undertaking. “There is not a collection of bronzes of this scale anywhere in the world,” he said. Shemwell said the team met with the families about a month ago in Houston to let them see the first portal and comment on it. “They seemed very pleased with our results,” he said. The portrait artist for the proj ect, Eric Christensen, will meet with each family before the cameo is cast. Christensen is based in the Texas Hill Country, and is one of several artists involved in producing the collec tion, Shemwell said. Shemwell said the project is on an intricate schedule. “The artist will be completing the cameos as quickly as possi ble” he said. “If there’s any gap in the process at all, we won’t make the deadline.” Shemwell said a time capsule is in the original design, and fam ilies and students would be allowed to contribute to it. “The time capsule would be buried where centerpole was,” Shemwell said. Rosser said at this point there has not been discussion on the time capsule, and there has been no formal approval of the idea. The site will be conducive to other ceremonies once complet ed, Shemwell said. “I would not be surprised to see a new set of traditions built around it,” Shemwell said. “Who knows what the future of Bonfire is, but this is the opportunity for one set of traditions to evolve into another.” Diversity Continued from page 1A McClendon said the pur pose of the newly created posi tion is to bring people together. “We want to make sure the position has a broad perspec tive and the committee is work ing efficiently toward that,” he said. Regents Continued from page 1A Aviles expire this year, leaving Perry one additional appoint ment to make to the board. Regents serve six-year terms. The board is the governing body for the A&M System, which consists of nine univer sities and eight state agencies. The appointments must be confirmed by the state senate. SIOUX FALLS, S.D.
