State executes
convicted killer
in Huntsville
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Joseph
Starvaggi, convicted of killing a pro
bation officer while the man’s wife
and daughter huddled in terror
nearby, was put to death Thursday
by Texas prison officials.
Starvaggi, 34, had no final
statement and shunned the tradi
tional final evening meal given to
condemned prisoners.
He was pronounced dead at 12:30
a.m., eight minutes after the lethal
drugs began flowing through his
arms.
“Oh, good!” said Grace Denson,
whose husband, John, was slain in
the 1976 attack during a burglary at
their rural Montgomery County •
home about 50 miles north of Hous- .
ton. “One down, one to go.”
Starvaggi, whose record also in
cluded arrests for burglary and mar
ijuana possession, was one of three
men convicted for Denson’s death.
Starvaggi and G.W. Green were sen
tenced to death.
Glen Earl Martin received a life
prison term. Green remains on
death row.
Starvaggi lost appeals Wednesday
in U.S. District Court in Houston
and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans before the
U.S. Supreme Court, on a 6-2 vote,
also rejected pleas for a reprieve.
The Denson burglary and slaying
occurred the evening of Nov. 19,
1976 as Starvaggi and at least two
other men forced their way into the
family’s home. Denson’s wife and
13-year-old daughter, tied hand and
foot and forced to lie under a blan
ket, heard Denson — already shot
once — beg for his life before Star
vaggi allegedly shot him two more
times, killing him.

By Melissa Currie
Reporter
Sjason Griffith, 18, is a junior me- 1
chanical engineering major and
most of the time he can be found
with Scarlet Griffith, 17, a sopho-
inbre business major. They’re
younger than most of their class
mates, but they enjoy football games,
yell practices and bonfire like most
couples in Aggieland.
■ However, there is a twist to the
young couple’s relationship —
they’re married.
■ Scarlet says people tend to stereo-
type young married couples as un
ambitious and as coming from
Ipwer-income families.
■ But both Jason and Scarlet, who
are probably the youngest married
couple ever to attend Texas A&M,
are ambitious and say a good educa
tion is important.
B At 15, Jason took his first college-
level course, engineering calculus
102, and received an A. He com
pleted high school in three years and
graduated when he was 17. Because
he had taken so many college
courses prior to entering A&M last
year, he has moved through school a
lot faster than most students his age.
Scarlet also was able to graduate
from high school when she was 17
because she skipped the fourth
grade and took college-level courses
during summers in high school.
She went to Blinn this summer
and currently is enrolled in her first
semester at A&M, but she is classi
fied as a sophomore because she
tested out of 14 college-credit hours
before starting college.
Jason and Scarlet exchanged vows
in Killeen in March. Although their
friends and family were concerned
that they were too young to make
this commitment, they are happy
that they did.
They met just like any other cou
ple — mutual friends introduced
them at a lake. After dating for five
months, they decided to get mar
ried.
“My friends were really shocked,”
Jason says.
Education has always been impor
tant to both of them and marriage
hasn’t changed this.
“If you’re not married, then you
are going to be spending a lot of
your time socializing,” Scarlet says.
Jason says, “There are really only
two kinds^pf people in college — the
brilliant and the determined.”
Even though they are married, Ja
son and Scarlet are still active and
they do things any dating couple
would do.
“We are almost like a girlfriend
and boyfriend,” Scarlet says.
“If, when you get married, you’ve
had a good boyfriend-girlfriend
relationship, then your marriage is
going to be exactly the same,” she
says. “Your relationship is not going
to change just because you both have
wedding rings.”
To them, being the youngest mar
ried couple at A&M isn’t a real
achievement.
Jason says, “I’m happy. I’m still
myself and she is still herself and I
still feel the same way about her. It
hasn’t changed anything.”
