Coming and going
Two runners in the second annual Texas A&M
Marathon, held last Saturday, head for the
finish fine as they cross the pedestrian bridge
over Wellborn Road. As they come in, another
participant starts the last quarter of the 26-
mile race. Over 1,000 runners entered the
marathon and traversed all or part of the
conrse which wound through the campus and
out to the Swine Center.

NENANA, Alaska — A huge ice
chunk carrying the tripod for the
bind annual Nenana Ice Classic
moved suddenly, ending the event
and signaling the breakup of the
Nenana River.
It was a dramatic end Sunday for
the iee classic, an annual fund-raiser
that has attracted thousands of folks
who purchased tickets betting on
the day, hour and second the ice
will go out on this interior Alaska
river.
“We had nine winning tickets this
year, Jack Cogliill, chairman of the
classic board, said. "And it. was a
good breakup. The whole mass of
ice just started moving down the
river at once at 3. JS p.m.”
Holders of the winning tickets
shared a $117,000 pot. Some 58,500
tickets were sold.
It was actually 4:18 Alaska time
when the ice broke, and one winner
who watched it all happen, didn’t
know he’d won.
“I forgot they did it on standard
time,” said Sam Demientieff of
Fairbanks.
Demientieff was en route back to
Fairbanks, 70 miles north of
Nenana, when he turned on the
radio and found out he was a win-

MIAMI — Claiming television
programmed their son to kill, the
parents of a teen-ager convicted of
murder have sued the three major
televsion networks for damages to
taling $25 million.
The suit filed Monday in federal
court said that 15-year-old Ronny
Zamora had “from the age of five
years . . . been involuntarily
addicted to and has been completely
subliminally intoxicated by the pro
longed intense viewing of television
programs distributed and televised
by all three defendants ....
Miami attorney Ellis Rubin, who
had defended Zamora, filed the suit
in behalf of Frank and Yolanda
Zamora, Ronny’s parents.
The suit asks for $5 million in
compensatory damages and $10 mil
lion in punitive damages for Ronny,
and for each of his parents, $2 mil
lion in compensatory damages and
$3 million punitive damages.
Zamora, serving a life sentence
since his Oct. 6 convition, was found
guilty by a Dade County circuit
court jury of fatally shooting Elinor
Haggart, his 82-year-old next door
neighbor, when she surprised him
and a companion during a robbery.
Rubin has argued that Zamora
was insane at the time because had
become addicted to television vio
lence and had been acting out the
robbery as if it was a television
show.
The suit said that in 10 years
Zamora “witnessed from 40,000 to
50,000 violent destructions of fellow
humans on programs televised by
defendants . . . The defendants
showed the impressionable teen
ager . . . how to kill.”
Rubin promised to show “that the
defendants negligently and re
cklessly, wantonly, willfull and in
tentionally polluted and corrupted
Ronny Zamora’s mind and incited
the lawless conduct. ...”
A second defendant in the slaying
of Haggart pleaded guilty last month
to second-degree murder. He is
awaiting sentence.
