Two men have been arraigned on attempted murder, robbery and assault charges in a December, 1985, attack on a 21-year-old UCLA student, whose throat was slashed during a robbery at the University Guest House. William Pennix, 25, who worked as a custodian at the guest house, and Mario Washington, 25, of Compton had been previously arrested in the case last month, but they were not charged because of insufficient evidence at the time. Pennix was rearrested this week, the district attorney’s office said, while Washington had remained in custody on a parole violation. The student, who worked as a clerk at the guest house, is recovering.
