Carrying a game ball given to them by Texas A&M Head Football Coach Jackie Sherrill, Squadron 7 members were to have made their fifth biennial “run to t.u.” The tradition started in 1976 to raise money for the Christian Chil dren’s Fund and has continued ev ery two years since, said Eddie Eliz- alde, a senior in the outfit. The relay begins after the entire squadron runs around the bonfire twice. The first runner leaves from the fish parking lot carrying the ball on a 14-hour run to Memorial Sta dium in Austin. Each team member waits in cars stationed at half-mile intervals. Each person runs a half-mile to the next car as a car follows him. The runner hands the ball off to another runnerr waiting at the next car. Many safety precautions are taken, Elizalde said. First the project was approved by the University police and the De partment of Public Safety. AH run ners wear white T-shirts, white tape on their caps and white belts, re gardless of tneir classification. The outfit will run into Memorial Stadium together and the game ball will be given back to Sherrill before the game on Saturday. The squadron received pledges from students and plans to make at least $250, which is enough to spon sor one child. Elizalde said the outfit made about $400 on their last run. Two years ago actress Sally Struthers came to A&M and con gratulated the outfit on their out standing efforts and contributions, Elizalde said. “It’s a way for us to have fun, but we’re also doing it for the benefit of underprivileged kids,” said Thomas Lane, another senior in the outfit. “It’s something extra besides building bonfire,” Lane said. “It’s something our whole outfit partici pates in, and it brings everyone toge ther.” Hijacker gives up United Press International ATLANTA — A mental patient surrendered to authorities Thurs day after hijacking a commuter plane at Hartsfield International Airport, holding the pilot hostage and threatening to blow up the air craft. FBI agents said the hijacker, iden tified as Judson Dean Talley, 26, came out an emergency exit of the 19-passenger Eastern Metro Express plane, lit a cigarette and was taken into custody. Talley was immediately charged with hijacking. No one was harmed during the four-hour incident. Authorities said Talley was a mental patient who had been released Wednesday from the Georgia Regional Hospital in Au gusta, a psychiatric care facility. Talley released the 10 passengers and co-pilot Tia Weaver shortly af ter taking command of the plane at 10:46 a.m. on a flight from Augusta, Ga., but kept the pilot aboard the aircraft, a twin-engine turboprop. The hijacker told authorities he had explosives and would blow up the plane if they did not bring his mother and girlfriend to him by 3 p.m. Talley’s girlfriend arrived at the airport about 2:50 p.m. and au thorities said she helped persuade him to surrender. Heavily hrnied FBI agents and At lanta police SWAT team members surrounded the plane shortly after the aircraft landed. Eastern spokesman Glenn Par sons, contacted at the airline head quarters in Miami, said the hijacker “indicated he had some sort of deto- nable device and demanded to see someone from the governor’s of fice.” The hijacker had registered on the flight as Mr. Smith. Passenger Wally Schmidt of War ren Township, N.J., described him as a young man with blond, curly hair. Schmidt, leaving a lounge where passengers were secluded, said the hijacker approached the cockpit carrying a duffle bag. “He pulled on the handle of the door leading to the cockpit and it came off in his hand,” Schmidt said. “Then the pilot opened the door and he said something to the pilot. “The pilot handed him a clip board. He wrote something on the clipboard. The pilot asked him something, and he told the pilot a long number — it sounded like a military serial number. “Then the pilot said we were land ing in Atlanta, and I thought every thing was OK because we were sup posed to land here.” Pollution found near Dallas United Press International WASHINGTON — The Texas Department of Water Resources re ported Thursday it found evidence of groundwater contamination — in cluding the carcinogen vinyl chlo ride — at a pesticide plant site near a creek that feeds into Dallas’ main water supply. “The data revealed some ground- water contamination at the Zoecon (Industries) site,” state environmen tal quality specialist Michael Dick said. Tests revealed the presence of pesticides, solvents and vinyl chlo ride and showed shallow groundwa ter contamination at low levels, Dick said. The findings lent support to a citi zen’s movement led by Shane Jack- son, a resident of Farmers Branch, who has tried unsuccessfully to force the Environmental Protection Agency to test soil and water samples from the site less than six miles from the main Dallas water station. Jackson began his struggle nearly two years ago to halt the installation in Farmers Branch of a $2.5 million, 22-acre city park right beside the pesticide-producing plant. Dick said he did not know whether the findings posed a threat for Dallas. He has asked the com pany for more information about the contamination and plans to meet with company officials next week.
