They were scholars, student athletes, active in Boy Scouts, 4-H, Church groups,they were leaders. If you had to chose a dozen students to represent the best of Texas A&M, you probably wouldn't do much better than these. I have just learned about Timothy Doran Kerlee, Jr. He was the twelfth student to die, when his life support was disconnected last Friday evening. Let me tell you about this amazing kid. Tim graduated last year from Germantown High School in Germantown,Tennessee. He was an Eagle Scout, graduated third in his class, and was elected to his High School Hall of Fame. He was a student athlete, and a member of the National Honor Society. He was active in the youth group and drama club at his Methodist Church. He was actively recruited by Texas A&M, and when he enrolled he tested out of his entire freshman year. That is how this 17 year-old could be classified as a sophomore.

  • TR-133 Bonfire Collapse Texas A&M University
    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series Bonfire Collapse Texas A&M University College Station, Texas USFA-TR-133/November 1999 Homeland Security U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary T criterion for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire--the effect of building construc- tion or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highlight once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. In some cases, special reports are developed to discuss events, drills, or new technologies which are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at National and Regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) assists the USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from the USFA; announcements of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The U.S. Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investiga- tor into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to insure that the USFA’s assistance and presence would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.

  • Aggie Terminology
    Aggie Terminology Add/Drop: The process during registration whereby courses are added and dropped; only lasts for the first few days of class Aggie Honor Code: All students are expected to adhere to the code that “An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do.” Aggie Spirit: Indefinable until you experience it, but essentially it is the overwhelming feeling of pride and unity that Aggies (current, former, and future) feel for each other and for their university. Aggieland: (1) Home of the Fightin’ Texas Aggies; (2) Texas A&M’s yearbook All-U Night: All-University Night - the first Yell Practice of the semester; this event includes introductions of men’s and women’s intercollegiate athletic teams, coaching staff, and yell leaders. Usually held on the evening of the first day of classes. Association of Former Students: The alumni association - there is no such thing as an ex-Aggie; there are only Former Students. You don’t even have to graduate to join the Association. Once an Aggie always an Aggie. Bad Bull: Anything that does not promote the Aggie Spirit. The Batt: The Battalion, Texas A&M’s student newspaper. The Big Event: The largest one-day student-run service project in the nation. The Big Event takes place on a Saturday morning in the spring semester. Thousands of students go out into the Bryan/College Station community to perform various service projects to say “thank you” for all of their support.

  • Issue 111 in This Issue: the Article Entitled "A Beginner's Guide to Temporal Physics" by Robert J
    An Open Letter to the members of STARFLEET: On January 11th 2005, we were contacted by Chris Halliday of Argent Games, regarding possible plagiarism in articles published in the STARFLEETCommuniqué during 2002 and 2003. Immediately, we began an internal investigation researching the claims and studying the original material by Mr. Halliday and the Communiqué articles in question. Regretfully, it became painfully clear that Mr. Halliday's claims were true and that materials were taken from an in-development RPG game called Time War, which is being published this year. Substantial portions of a series of columns on Time Travel & Temporal Investigations in Communiqué issues 111, 112, 113, 114, 117, and 118 were originally written by Chris Halliday, and not by the author on the byline, Robert (Robb) Jackson. The articles in question were accepted and published in the Communiqué in good faith since the editors of the Communiqué at the time believed it to be original material. However, as the Communiqué is the official publication of STARFLEET, we are responsible for it's content. As a reminder to all of STARFLEET, only original materials are acceptable for publication in the Communiqué. If you use another's work in your article, you must cite references and give proper credit to the original author. STARFLEET will not tolerate plagiarism. On behalf of STARFLEET, the International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc., I want to apologize to Mr. Halliday and Argent Games for this incident. I also want to thank him for his cooperation in this matter. He has been very cooperative with our requests and has been wonderful in his dealings with us.
