When you say "university's possession" do you mean it was left at the fence after the collapse, or was it seized by ResLife?

The first one I may be able to help with.

It was gifted by the '99 yellowpot to the university to contribute to a bonfire history exhibit. Obviously this never happened. Do u have any pictures?

I know people who run the university's archives. They've let me see the stuff the university collected in '99, I'll ask around.

I've got a lot of pictures, hundreds, but will have to look thru them to see if there's one that features the pot you're looking for - I don't know off the top of my head.

You're still planning to have a McInnis Bonfire Crew without a McInnis Hall?

Fitch - what HAPPENED to that project? One of the anthropology profs in 2000 was working on archiving everything. I've heard nothing since then.

Well I'm only in contact with the administrators of the archives and the Cushing librarians, so I don't know about the anthro prof. If it was a female prof cataloguing everything then there's a high likelihood that she's retired and the Bonfire fenceline project was one of the last things she did here.

All of the items collected are in a storage facility over on Agronomy road on west campus. The catalogue for the inventory exists as two, roughly 200 page, lists with about 50 items per page. They can now be requested for public viewing since last year.

Then there's the Cushing library archives which are dozens of boxes filled with files, copies, photos, videos, and duplicates of Bonfire material divided into Pre-99, 99-Crime Scene, and Bonfire Commission categories. Also available for viewing if you know who to ask.

I think all the stuff will one day be combed thru and displayed in a museum that's supposed to eventually get built at the Bonfire Memorial. As for when it's getting built, I haven't heard anything.

More than you wanted to know I'm sure.

We are moving to another dorm, the lines will remain.

Not at all, thanks for the info. And yes, it was a woman though her name escapes me.

They called it Project BEAM and had a site set up for it but it's long since offline.

Good Bull!
