11:15 Students are frustrated with one another at the lack of organization. The last vestiges of the line are clearly falling apart.
11:35 Student Body Present Nic Taunton, Student Body Vice President Joe Licata, and the Vice President of Student Affairs Dean Bresciani arrive at the scene. "There is no organization, it fell apart," Bresciani said.
11:45 "Right now, it's hard to predict how this will work out," Taunton said. Students continue to arrive, and the number grows close to 6,000.
12:20 A&M students Kevin Zaiontz and Craig Coolidge announce the ticket pull is cancelled and that University police will arrive in 20 minutes. Zaiontz and Coolidge have no affiliation with a student organization. "We were some of the first in line and it just got chaotic," Coolidge said. Bresciani said the decision was made by an unnamed collection of people.
12:25 Bresciani takes the megaphone and confirms the announcement. "I have no idea what the plan is tomorrow," Bresciani said. "You will just have to wait and see."
