state Battalion/Page 11 September 22, 1982 Dallas agency established to distribute waste food ittle bus, rest ). 3 block 'able paid 2 keys M United Press International DALLAS — In 1981, $31 billion worth of edible food was wasted in the United States, according to statistics from the U.S. Agriculture De partment. Texas contributed to the waste, discarding 12 million tons of food worth $2.7 bil lion. But this year some of that food will be given to the hun gry people of north Texas, Dub Nelson, general manager of the North Texas Food Bank, said. The bank coordinates con tributions from grocery stores, manufacturers and re staurant owners, and distri butes the food and staples to tax-exempt organizations, which in turn give it to the needy. In addition to food don ated directly by manufactur ers, the center receives leftov er items from grocery stores — food which must be re moved from shelves by a spe cific date but is in no way tainted. “We accept food from all sources, as long as it is nutri tional, wholesome and edi ble,” he said. Conceived about 18 months ago, the North Texas Food Bank began distributing food Sept. 14. In the first two days, approximately 20,000 pounds of food was distri buted to 16 agencies. Nelson hopes to move 750,000 pounds of food through the center in the next year. “The food bank idea is not unique,” he s^id. “What has made our operation unique is the level of backing from the the private sector. We were not^unded^bv^aTederal^rant^ to the extent some banks start off with.” Donated food is housed in a 20,000-square-foot ware house in south Dallas County. Dallas area grocery stores and related businesses have sup plied the warehouse with furniture, two walk-in freez ers, trucks and other equip ment, and sometimes person nel to assist with stocking and deliveries, “Any tax exempt organiza tion is eligible to receive food,” Nelson said. Store manager stops two armed assailants United Press International SAN ANTONIO — Edward Alamillo, manager of a 7- Eleven, was handing over money from the store and just had time to dodge a pipe swung by one of two men intent on rob bing him. Unfortunately — for the two would-be robbers — he didn’t have time to call police. Alamillo fought off the two men by flipping one to the floor and hitting the other on the head with a metal display rack to abort the attempted robbery ab out 2:30 a.m. Monday, police said. Alamillo, 27, was working his second day as store manager when the two men entered the store and demanded money while a boy kept a lookout at the door. I An off-duty security guard drove up just as the dazed man stumbled into the parking lf>t. The guard joined Alamillo in pursuit of the three and they caught one man. Police arrested two other suspects a short time later. WAN1E1 1 share all ute. $132/i IS : pregnane 1-0548." ' usly tak? schedule: student mtS i requireiw aken not late t Texes ASIJ satisfy tin tective de ition, cM 1TH majois tons m Murder of UT official 1 Furnitiiro A ‘involved homosexuality’ United Press International AUSTIN — A prosecutor says he plea bargained a capital mur der case partly because the fami- I ly and friends of the victim — a University of Texas administra tor— wanted to avoid testimony about homosexuality in the case. The case ended Monday when Bryan Charles Pittman, 24, an ex-convict, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after plead ing guilty to voluntary man- slaughterin the June 1981 death of Ryder Joseph Brown, 55. Brown was director of pro fessional affairs at the Universi ty of Texas School of Architec ture and a prominent figure in Austin. Assistant District Attorney Curt Beckcom said he agreed to the plea bargain because Brown’s family, friends and sev eral witnesses did not want a full trial “because of the (homosex ual) issues that would have been brought out.” “Everyone knows the issue of homosexuality was involved,” said Beckcom. Since Brown was well known in Austin, the homosexual over tones surrounding the slaying would have led to an “explosive” and “controversial” trial, he said. Prior to sentencing, Pittman told District Judge Jon Wisser that he met Brown at an Austin gay bar on June 13, 1981, and later accompanied Brown to the architect’s home. He said they scuffled after Brown made sexual advances to him. An autopsy report said Brown had been beaten, bound at the wrists and ankles and strangled with a rope or cord. James Jay Filon, 23, was also charged with capital murder in Brown’s death, but Beckcom said the charges would be drop- pted since Filon was not present when Brown was slain. Filon was extradited last week from Tucson, Ariz., where he was being held on a theft charge, prosecuted on a charge of burg Beckcom said Filon would be larizing Brown’s house.
