He's still not sure exactly where it happened, but Richard Darr, general foreman of the Uni- versity electric shop, said Wednesday night's cam- pus power failure was caused by a faulty cable somewhere- between the power station on Huron St. and the substation in the Michigan Union. The cable, which darkened a bunch of Univer- sity buildings west of State St., lasted for al- most an hour and a half. Sneaky little devil, huh? Darr said it probably won't happen again soon. i " Reward for tp As part of their "Secret Witness Program," The Detroit News is offering a $3,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and con- viction of the person(s) believed to be respon- sible for the rash of 15 assaults on local women during the past six weeks. This program is a way in which people can tell what they know but remain anonymous.

When The News receives the tip, it turns it over to the police to investigate. The program, begun in 1967, has helped solve 44 murder cases as well as various other crimes, incluing rape. Over $120,000 has been given out in reward money.

Plai to destroy Waterman hit By JENNIFER MILLER A small group of faculty and students have ex- pressed dissatisfaction with a University report recommending that the Regents stand by an earlier decision to authorize the demolition of the Waterman-Barbour gymnasiums. The report, prepared for the December Re- gents meeting by William Sturgis, an assistant to Vice President and Chief Financial officer Wilbur Pierpont, concludes that restoration of the 82- year-old complex would be too costly. In March, the Board decided to raze the buildings, and to "This is probably the largest building decision of the decade. People think there's no issue on campus this year but there is." - Prof. William Shepherd possibly replace them .with an addition to the Chemistry Building. But it agreed to reconsider the move, pending this report. ECONOMICS PROF. William Shepherd, grad- uate students Kathie Gourlay and Jerry Scheilke, and Dorothy McGuigan, a program associate for the Center for Continuing Education for Wo- men, say that potential uses' for the building need a more thorough exploration. "Sturgis and Pierpont haven't done a proper study for the Regents," Shepherd said. "We. think there's something funny about it." "This is probably the largest building decision; of the decade," he added. "People think there's no issue on campus this year but there is." SHEPHERD said University President Robben Fleming "just brushed off one 2000 signature pe- tition as 'predictable"', and that University staff failed to attend informational meetings with alumni. He said alumni won't commit themselves to support of the buildings without hearing both sides of the issue, including the University's. Sturgis offered no explanation for the Univer- sity's failure to attend the meetings. SHEPHERD also charged the University with ignoring the historic "value of the 82-year-old buildings, which "the Department of Natural See GYMS', Page 7 Daily Photo by ANDY FREEBERG 'k Waterman Gym stands idle yesterday as a storm brews over plans to demolish the 82-year-old structure. Hih t. asked t 0 stoF SALT LAKE CITY (P - Attorneys representing the mother of convicted mur- derer Gary Gilmore yester- day asked U. S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White and Utah state courts to postpone Gilmore's execu- tion. Bessie Gilmore of Mil- waukie, Ore., has said she opposes capital punishment and does not want her son to die. But Gilmore, who says death is better than a lifetime behind bars, sug- gested earlier this week that persons trying to save him should "butt out." GILMORE HAS persuaded Utah officials to let him die and is scheduled to go before a firing squad at sunrise Monday, which would make him the first person executed in this country in nine years. The request to White was made by Anthony Amsterdam, a Stanford Law School profes- sor who said he had been re- tained by Gilmore's mother. A Salt- Lake City attorney working with Amsterdam, Rich- ard Giauque, filed petitions in the Utah Supreme Court and in. the district court where Gil- more wastried.The attorneys are seeking a stay of execution from each so that they can file execui a petition for a writ of certior- ari with the U. S. Supreme. Court. That action would seek a review of the Utah Supreme Court's Nov. 10 order with- drawing a previously granted stay of execution for Gilmore: "THE NEED FOR a stay of execution . . . is obvious," Am- sterdam told White. "Such stays are commonly granted in death cases. Indeed, the, only factor that makes this application un- usual is petitioner's assertion that he wishes to be executed." The request said Gilmore's de- sires must be weighed against procedural safeguards in the Constitution. White, who represents the court in urgent matters for the 10th U. S. Circuit that includes Utah, planned to refer the mat- ter to the full court for consid- eration. A decision did not seem likely before the court's week- ly conference today. A T T OnR N E Y S repre- senting otlr opponents of the execution also indicated action was immhent. They met pri- vatelv yesterday at the office of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyer Jinks Dabney of Salt Lake City, who predicted the U. S. Supreme Court would view the situation as "a cir- cus."

MSA, UHC ELECTIONS: L ettuce boycott defeated By AP and Reuter WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld yesterday ordered a start on production of the costly and controversial Bi bomber, a de- cision that could be overturned by President-elect Jimmy Car- ter after he takes office. Carter has said he would keep the plane in the research stage. More than $2 billion already has been spent on Bi research and development and the Ford administration believes it is ready to be produced. The Air Force secretary said he had advised Richard Steadman, the Carter administration's 'transi- tion chief at the Pentagon, of the production decision before the contract award was made. CONGRESS ORDERED a month to month limitation on spending for the Bi until Feb. 1. so the new President could make a final judgment on pro- duction of what would be the most expensive bomber in his- tory. The Air Force and Rockwell International Corp., the plane's contractor, reportedly have agreed to continue the month to month financing arrange- ment until June 1 to give Car- ter more time to make up- his mind.

By LANI JORDAN For the first time since its inception in 1972, the referen- dum to boycott non-union let- tuce in University housing has been defeated. The boycott, which supports the United Farm Workers (UFW) failed by-a two- to-one margin, as votes in the University Housing Council (UHC) were tallied last night. Meanwhile with most of the vote still uncounted, only two of the 11 seats qn the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) have been filled. Irving VFreeman won an MSA seat after four unsuc- cessful bids in past elections. Chris Bachelder, a Markley resident and first-time candi- date, captured his seat by 63 votes. THE WINNERS of the remain- ing MSA seats will be known today. The results are not of- ficial, however, until the Cen- tral Student Judiciary (CSJ) certifies the election nevt week. pends on how the University buys lettuce." UHC WILL HAVE the final say whether the boycott will end. Fabian predicts that UHC members will follow the stu- dents' mandate. The defeat of the boycott is effective only for the upcoming term. The referendum will again appear on the ballot in the spring election. For the first time in several years, MSA candidates did not swarm the student government chambers during the election tally. Freeman and Brian Las- key were the only candidates. who observed the vote counting procedure. BACHELDER SAID he was "overwhelmed" by the 187 first place votes he received. "It makes you believe stu- dents think and don't play games, (when voting)," Bach- elder said. "It's not a circus here." "Markley really came out in my support," he added. MORE THAN 200 students voted in the three-day MSA'UHC election. Although poor weath- er necessitated the relocation of many polling places, MSA elec- tion director Myra Willis said she was pleased with the six per cent voter turnout. "Wednesday' was great," she said, "More than 1,100 students voted." Many MSA election ballots were submitted blank. Accord- ing to election officials, many students voted only on the UHC lettuce referendum and dis- See MSA, Page 2 'It would be irre- sponsible not to in- itiate BJI produc- tion at this time.' -Air Force Secretar3 Thomas Reed Murder suspect's "- hiearing delayed By JAY LEVIN Exactly two months after he was named prime suspect in the gunshot slaying of a 17-year-old University freshwoman, Ricky Wayne Wilson stepped before 14th District Court Judge Thom- as Shea in Ypsilanti yesterday and was granted a twelve day postponement in his prelimin- ary murder charge examina- tion.
