Journalist Inmate: death penalty doesn’t work j NCAAtowi leaded by til going to co: » (Continued from page 3) ■ House coffee commercial on tele vision. Ellerbee said that after starting her production company in 1986, Lucky Duck encountered financial problems, and rather than fire any of the personnel she decided to raise the funds needed by appearing in the commercial. 1 Although she received much crit- flOWH icism from her fellow journalists and many devastating letters, Ellerbee V/lPQIIi sa ^’ s ^ e c * oes not re S ret ^ er decision V IvuIH to keep her company alive. Ellerbee and Lucky Duck Produc tions, in conjunction with Turner Broadcasting, are producing what Ellerbee called a “Sesame Street for grown-ups” in an attempt to teach adults to read. . . ., Ellerbee said her motivation for j^ te ™ a , this program stems from the fact red Sundap ^ t | iat one j n ever y f lve adults in the United States is illiterate, and she said television is partly to blame.

It’s obvious the death penalty’s not working in Texas.” DeGarmo, a former California mechanic, was sen tenced to death for the Jan. 8, 1979, kidnap-slaying of Kimberly Ann Strickler, a medical technician. While he confessed to the slaying on the witness stand and threatened to kill his jurors if they did not sentence him to death, DeGarmo now is appealing his conviction and sentence. But he and Strickler’s parents say the system doesn’t work. “There’s no logical reason why a person with the death penalty should be alive after eight years. I’ve been here 10 years flat,” DeGarmo told the Houston Chronicle. “Are you going to pay for my existence for another 10 years?” “If an open and shut case is this difficult, what hap pens to the really complicated ones?” asked Shirley Par ish, 56, the victim’s mother. DeGarmo is seeking a new trial based on alleged deals former Fort Bend County prosecutors made with his accomplice, Helen Leydalia Mejia, 32. DeGarmo and Mejia were accused of kidnapping Strickler while attempting to steal her car. She was shot in the head as she lay bound in the trunk of her car. what it takes 5 Arantxa fe t and k ie secoit and took tl i and toot t j on company.

Troegel said the students’ ideas will be taken into account and a “hy brid” plan using different student ideas will then be drawn up. “Professor Ekroth is really provid ing a valuable and exciting program for us,” Troegel said. “His students have come up with some great ideas. They are helping create a vision of the Heights area.” The students have been divided into three groups. Each group is re sponsible for a zone within the Heights. Tim McLaughlin, a senior envi ronmental design major from Long view, is developing a design for a zone called the warehouse district, at Shepherd Drive and 22nd Street within the Heights. He said working with the people in the community is a valuable experience, and he hopes to change some minds about future architecture in the area. “It’s good to get concrete reaction from the community,” McLaughlin said. “They tell you exactly what they expect their neighborhood to look like. “But what I’m trying to do with AM/PM Clinics • Minor Emergencies • General Medical Care • Weight Reduction Program 10% Student Discount with I.D.

YOUTH HOSTELING my design is to expand the bounda ries and give them new ideas about what they can do with the area. It’s more persuasive architecture, to show them what could be, not just what is.” Steve Daniels, a senior environ mental design major from New Bos ton, said working on this project helps students look at a large area in stead of a single building. “In this project we deal with ur ban design in a larger context than just an individual house,” he said. “We’re also developing a long-range plan. This is a project for the Heights community as a whole. What we’re doing is important to the community.” EILEEN STEVENS WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE EXPLANATION THAT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT’.
