MM M0VP Bonfire Continued from page 1 same time,” he said. “We weren’t prepared for all the traffic.” Will Trevino, a senior psy chology major, said seeing bon fire burn was worth the trouble it took to get there. “Coming to this University, I had always looked forward to see ing the bonfire,” he said. “1 was really disappointed when I learned that I wouldn’t be able to see one here during my time at A&M." Stagner said bonfire always got started later than planned ever since it was held off campus. “Back when it was still held on campus it would be lighted at ‘dark-thirty’ because there was no set time,” he said. The bonfire took almost a year of planning, including months of cutting trees and stacking logs. During “push week," the week before bonfire, students helped build the bonfire every day from 6 p.m. until midnight. The students who lit the fire walked around it three times before it was lighted -— as a tra dition. Lampton said. “Three times around the bon fire: one for you. one for your mother and one for your date,” Lampton said. Because of a call to quarters, freshmen cadets were not able to attend, said Corps of Cadets pub lic relations officer Justin Woods. “The yell leaders are their own student organization,” Woods said. “The bonfire was not recognized as a University- It also became a junior class to sabotage the iors. In 1992, the trail Junior E-Walk was born. "Junior E-Walk is a tit celebration because it’s the i that our class pride should^: strongest,” Junior B.
