The Civilian Bonfire Committee said that as of Nov. 1 only about 10 of the 300 men who have gone out to cut the trees for Bonfire live off cam pus. But why? T would if I knew about where to go and how to do it,” said transfer student Wilbert Dernehl. Some said they just haven’t had time. The main problem is a general lack of information, said freshman Linda Brewer. "We never really know what’s happening on campus,” she said. Sharon Dill, a former off-campus student, agreed. “In the dorms information is spoon-fed to you. But in the apart ments it’s an effort to find out what’s going on.” > Darwin Sparkman, a Hassle-Free representative in the Willowick apartment complex, said, T don’t think it’s apathy, I just think the in formation has not been accessible to off-campus students. Tommye Morehead, Coordinator of Hassle-Free, the organization which gives off-campus students in formation, said she thinks it is be cause off-campus students don’t have an organized structure to work under. “In a dorm everyone will come haul everyone out to help. But in an apartment complex there is no one put in charge to do that. There is a plan this year to help involve more off-campus students in the bonfire, said Mark Pool, the bon fire’s Head Civilian. The Civilian Bonfire Committee, the Residence Hall Association (RHA) and Hassle-Free have com bined their efforts to inform the off- campus students about bonfire. A new idea involving dorms "adopting” apartment complexes is being used. Pool said. The apart ment complexes were divided up be tween the dorms by the dorm bon fire chiefs. These chiefs posted notices and held meetings to or ganize people interested, said Pool. Flyers telling how off-campus stu dents can become involved and who they should contact will be out by Friday, said G. Stanley-Medford, in charge of publicity for Hassle-Free. These notices will be on all apart ment bulletin boards and will be dis tributed in all the apartment com plexes that have Hassle-Free rep resentatives, he said. Although Pool said that only about five or six people showed up at most of the apartment meetings, RHA President David George said that it may be because the publicity about bonfire had not gone out yet. George added, "I hope, however, that when the flyers go out, the people who want to work for bonfire will contact RHA and come out and work.” Murderer asks Utah court to permit his death Monday Associated Press PROVO, Utah — Convicted mur derer Gary Mark Gilmore will ap pear before the Utah Supreme Court today to ask that his stay of execution be withdrawn and that he face the firing squad as originally scheduled next Monday. Gilmore has said he wants to die rather than spend the rest of his life in jail. He has spent 18 of his 35 years in prison. Gilmore was convicted of first- degree murder in the killing of a motel clerk in a robbery. His execution would be the first in the United States since a Colorado convict died in the gas chamber in June 1967.
