The band said backstage that it was an effort to make up for a show that was canceled early in the spring because he was sick. Plans Continued from Page 1 Ordinances in different cities and counties vary, according to Sgt. Mark Stoddard, with the Bryan Police De partment. "In the city of Bryan, burning an open fire is a Class C misdemeanor and could result in fines up to $1000," Stoddard said. Bowen said the University cannot prevent students from building their own bonfire. "What students do off campus, in their private capacities, is not within our control. If students go off campus, or if I go off campus, and do some thing that my institution disagrees with, there are not things we can do (to punish them]," Bowen said. "All we would ask them is to make it very clear that they are not acting out an ac tivity on behalf of the University."

Mary Dickerson, Class of '94, said Bowen's deci sion to eliminate cut took her by surprise. "1 am not surprised that Bowen put conditions on the future of bonfire. I am surprised that they took so much of the student involvement away. I think Bowen tried to do the right thing, but I think he did a disservice to us by taking out the student involvement," Dickerson said. "There are many ways to put rules in something. Bowen is going so far to reconstruct bonfire that it seems like he is tak ing it away. Bonfire the way I remember it is not the way others will remember it," she said. Chuck Dickerson, CJass of'92, said Bowen's de cision to postpone bonfire for two years was disap pointing. "I was kind of disappointed that they concluded that they needed to wait so long beforeha\t| other bonfire. It is good that they are takinj* measures," Dickerson said.
