Oct. 29, 197! Page 33 Moment Armistead left her father some memories and a few notes By ANN ARNOLD AUSTIN, Tex. (UP1) Moment Armistead left her father some memories and a few notes. "It isn't true that I loathe life," the 22 year old girl mole her father. "I know Pm still trying to hang on, to calm down enough to start over.

God please help me. Make me strong and good again." "I'm scared," she wrote in another note. "What could have 1 possibly done to get tills trapped?" One of her last notes said: haven't any further to run." The final note Moment Armistead wrote was found her body Sept. 29, the day she jumped from the same 307 foot tower on the University of Texas campus from which Charles Whitman shot and killed 14 persons and wounded 32 on Aug. 1, 3966.

The last note said; "My name is Moment Armistead, Living was hell for me. I wanted to die so I wouldn't cause any more trouble." Sunday's edition of the Austin American Statesman carried a supplement on drugs. Inserted in this supplement was a page with the heading "A Moment to Remember' THE INSERT WAS placed in tbc paper by Moment's father, Gene Armistead. "My daughter didn't jump off that tower LSD pished her off," the father said Monday. The newspaper insert marked the beginning ot a campaign to force the Texas Legislature to pnss stricter drug laws, Armistead said.

He intends to get 2 million signatures on a petition to force ihe legislature to pass a law which would sentence persons convicted of a first narcotics offense to a mandatory ID year sentence, TUMBLEWEED5 25 years for a second conviction and a mandatory life sentence for a third cflsviction. "I just can't let my daughter lie in that cemetery for nothing," Armistead said. "This won't clean it up but it's a step in the right direction." Said good bye Ruth Moment Armistead, of Austin, who 'urnped to her deaifl from the U. of Texas Tower September 29. The girl's father, Gene Armistead, also of Austin, has launched a campaign to got signatures on petitions asking the legislature to increase severity of punishment for drug convictions.

Armistead, a self employed insurance broker, said he will give up the business for the next three months to devote all his time to the anti drug ccmpaign, "I know this is not the total answer but from the things I've found out in the past three weeks wc are really in for some trouble with this drug problem if we don't da something," he said. ARMISTEAD IS USING the newspaper fn sorts, which will run later in all major newspapers in Texas, to get the million signatures on his petition. He has also placed 200 petitions in various shops around Austin. The insert in the American Statesman east him 6,000 initially, ho said. But the cost will mount because at the bottom of (he insert in a postcard with return postage guaranteed.

Armistead has asked the reader to sign the card and return it to him. Armistead said he learned last Christmas that his daughter experimented with LSD. The girl committed herself voluntarily to a state mental hospital for treatment, however, and her family feit she was improving until last month. She graduated from high school five years ago, the father said, and immediately wanted "to start helping others." She joined VISTA and was sent to Chicago. When earthquakes dcslroycd several communities in Fein, she joined the Red Cross and worked helping earthquake victims.

She returned to the Uniled Stales in the fall of 1970 and planned to enroll at the University of Texas. But the fall term began the day after she returned and so she decided to wait until the spring term of 1970. Armistead said his wife would help him later in his campaign "but right now she is still in a state of shock" because of their daughter's death.
