Today's Batt is is one of the best editions about Bonfire in recent history.

There was something mentioned to the effect of "the university is so much more diverse these days [I'm] not sure how bonfire could work."

Well the way I see it is that Bonfire united everyone on campus: Corps, non-regs, band, black, white, north side, south side and whatever. Murano and officials should see it as a way to bring everyone together like it truly does.

I support bringing the exact Student Bonfire system we have today to campus at Simpson Drill field (Old Army site) and placing a "professional" to oversee the Reds/Browns. A professional who has Old Army (preferably a 'Dead' red/yellow/brown) experience.. not just some random engineer who shows up.

Thanks and gig'em.

Straight from Chip Thiels' speech at the memorial dedication...

quote:

---

While 10s of 000's gathered annually to witness the big fire, the cadets, non-regs, O.C. hogs, brownpots, yellowpots, butt-pots, crew chiefs, centerpolepots, pink pots, redpots, bonfire buddies, blacks, women, asians, men, whites, latinos, and randoms who had invested 000's of hours of sweat equity in that stack of wood knew that the only reason we burned it was to clear the Polo Fields so that we could do it all over again next year.

Sounds pretty inclusive to me.

this is pretty much fail

Yeah, that picture is pure fail.
I didn't realize the Neely pots looked like that...

Maybe I'm going blind, but I don't even see a Kneeley pot in there. Page full of fail.

you'd think they knew a brown pot was brown...

and that they could count...

I think I see a JRP's pot in there somewhere, but not in the first 5...
