The heckling took place two days after Democratic presidential nomi nee Walter Mondale received the worst taunting of his campaign at the University of Southern Califor nia. At the University of Texas, as she tried to give a speech attacking Rea gan, Ferraro was repeatedly inter rupted by loud chants of “Four more years” and “Reagan,” from large groups scattered in the crowd of more than 4,000 students. One young man, who later de clined to give his name, shouted, “Go back to the kitchen.” As she did the day before in Chi cago, where supporters vastly out numbered her detractors, Ferraro told the crowd without pausing: “I want to tell you, if I had a re cord like Ronald Reagan’s, I wouldn’t want anybody to hear about it either. But we’ll try one more time.” The hecklers continued to inter rupt her. Afterwards, Democratic Gov. Mark White, who introduced the candidate, said the heckling was “not bad.” White said the 24,000-student campus was conservative, as “most of them are” nationwide. White said Ferraro’s appearance earlier at a breakfast in Dallas had a better reception. The huge fund raising breakfast raised more than $175,000, its backers said. Hundreds crowded into the room as a banjo band played patriotic songs and “Dixie.” Ferraro began speaking in a fes tive tone, then turned somber, tell ing the crowd of the embassy bomb ing in Lebanon and expressing her sadness. “I just want to extend my sympa thies to the families of the individu als who lost their lives” she said. She said she would support retal iation by Reagan if those responsible for the bombing were found. She launched into administration policy in Central America and said Reagan is “militarizing conflict that could be solved by peaceful means.” She called the conflict “probably illegal,” and said her son, John, a col lege student, would be proud to de fend the country, “but like every other mother in this country, I did not raise him to die in an undeclared war against an unnamed enemy for an uncertain cause.” Henry executed: 24-hour stay expires Parkway Medical Clinic 2604A South Texas Avenue 693-0202 or 693-0204 Women's Medical Services IUD—Birth Control Pills—Infections—Physicals Cancer Smears—Pregnancy Testing—Menstrual Disorders ALL SERVICES CONFIDENTIAL 20% Student Discount Board-Certified OB/GYN Doctor on Staff HEY AGGIES, DO YOU EVER “HULLABALLO IN THE KITCHEN” Nancy and Ronald Reagan, George and Betty Bush and Lady Bird Johnson all hullaballo in the kitchen with the Dallas Aggie Mom’s Cookbook. United Press International STARKE, Fla. — James Dupree Henry, trembling and professing in nocence, died in the electric chair Thursday for the murder of an el derly civil rights leader during a rob bery. Henry, 34, bid his mother and girlfriend farewell, and ate raw oysters for the first time before he was strapped into the oak electric chair moments after a temporary stay of execution expired at 7 a.m. He was pronounced dead nine min utes later.

IN THE Advertise an item in the Battalion. 845-2611 “My final words are: 1 am inno cent,” the slender black man with a diamond-shaped tattoo in his fore head said before the death hood was dropped over his face. Henry was the 25th man executed in the United States since the Su preme Court lifted its ban on the death penalty in 1976 and the ninth in Florida. Henry was to have died Wednes day morning, but the 11th U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta granted him a 24-hour reprieve while it con sidered his case. He had a calm visit with his family, including a half- hour alone with his new-found mother, after the court rejected his appeal. Henry’s final words were barely audible to witnesses because the mi crophone placed in front of him didn’t work. He winked at his attor ney, public defender Richard Jor- danby, and began to tremble when the hood was dropped in front of his face. Henry died for the March 24, 1974, murder of Z.L. Riley, his next door neighbor and a well-known Or lando civil rights worker. Riley, 81, was found gagged, tied to a chair and beaten with a pistol. His throat was slit with a razor, but police said he strangled on the gag. Henry ordered a dozen raw oysters with hot sauce and crackers for his last meal, a food he’d never eaten before. He finished the dozen along with half a cantaloupe and a glass of grapefruit juice but refused an offer of more oysters. “He said he enjoyed them but he didn’t want any more,” Bradford said.
