Hunt is on for drug dealer
By TRENT LEOPOLD
Staff Writer
Plans are underway for a new Col
lege Station police station and the
renovation of the current facility.
Mike Greer, an architect with
Tram Emmett and Associates, is
working on the drawings for the new
building.
He said Monday he has not yet
started on the actual floor plans for
the new' building, but is currently
working with rough drafts.
“The present police station build
ing will be remodelled and a new,
additional building will be built,” he
said. “The new budding will be adja
cent to the existing one.”
Greer said current plans are to
build a two-story building capable of

DALLAS — A surge in the num
ber of medical malpractice lawsuits
and awards over the past 18 months
has triggered a 10 percent to 50 per
cent increase in insurance premiums
for doctors statewide, medical insur
ance experts say.
And the increase has reignited the
debate over who is responsible for
booming medical costs, the officials
said.
holding three additional levels if the
building needs to be expanded in
the future.
“Part of the duck pond near the
present building also will have to be
filled in to make room for the new
building,” Greer said. “However, the
pond will be expanded so it will be at
least as big as it is now.”
College Station Police Chief Mar
vin Byrd said the police department
needs the new building because it
has outgrown the present location at
2611A Texas Ave.
“We moved into our current loca
tion after being housed in the same
building as the College Station Fire
For the state’s largest malpractice
insurer, the ratio of lawsuits has in
creased in the past five years from
one out of 23 doctors insured to one
out of 17. The average settlement
has quintupled, the Dallas Times
Herald reported Monday.
The medical community blames
the lawsuits on a greater eagerness
by the public to go to court. This is
prompting some Texas doctors to
Department,” Byrd said. “Before
that we were at a building in North-
gate.
“We have simply outgrown our
current facility and need larger
quarters to conduct business in an ef
ficient manner. It’s not that our pre
sent building is falling apart or any
thing.”
College Station citizens voted in
favor of a bond about one year ago
designed to provide funds for the
new building.
Once the final plans are com-
leted, city administrators will take
ids from various contractors and
award one or more of them the job.
avoid taking difficult cases and to
abandon high-risk specialties such as
obstetrics, the Herald said.
The doctors want the Texas Su
preme Court to uphold a 1977 state
statute that limits the damages to
$500,000 excluding medical, hospi
tal and custodial care expenses. A
district court ruled the limit uncon
stitutional last year and the issue is
on appeal.
HOUSTON — Tommy Teutsch
enjoyed the good life.
Nice restaurants, expensive cars
and clothes — these were the trap
pings that went with the Teutsch’s
lifestyle.
But state and federal law enforce
ment officials say there was another
side to Teutsch’s life — one not quite
so glamorous. Investigators say the
34-year-old Corpus Christi native
was involved in an international nar
cotics ring suspected of committing
at least six murders.
Now Teutsch is running from the
law and this week he has been placed
on the list of Texas Most Wanted. A
$1,-000 reward is being offered for
information leading to the capture
of Teutsch.
Investigators say Teutsch disap
peared in June 1982, after failing to
appear to answer federal charges of
Racketeering Influence Corrupt Or
ganization (R.I.C.O.).
Texas Department of Public
Safety officials say Teutsch was a
member of the late Samuel Camma-
rata organization, a far-flung syndi
cate that had international drug con
nections.
Teutsch is described as a white
male, 6 foot, 2 inches 225 pounds,
with black hair and brown eyes. But
investigators say Teutsch is an ac
complished make-up artist and may
have altered his appearance. He also
uses numerous aliases, including
Tommy Titsch, Tommy Tyson and
Thomas William Teutsch.
Prior to his disappearance,
Teutsch left a note suggesting he
was going to commit suicide. But in
vestigators scoff at the notion, point
ing out that sightings have been re
ported of the fugitive since then.
Anyone who might have informa
tion about Teutsch’s location is
asked to call Texas Crime Stoppers
toll-free at 1-800-252-8477 or their
local Crime Stoppers program. Call
ers do not have to reveal their identi
ties.
Texas Most Wanted is a cooper
ative effort between Texas Crime
Stoppers and the Department of
Public Safety designed to solicit in
formation about the locations of fu
gitives wanted for serious crimes
committed within the state.

Retailing Center
Brings Companies,
Students Together
The great quantity of products
and goods enjoyed by the average
citizen in this country are often
taken for granted. But a lot happens
behind the scenes in order to make it
possible for us to enjoy such benefits.
The increasing demand for these
benefits has caused a growing need
for professionally trained people in
the retailing industry. This is where
the College of Business Administra
tion at Texas A&M University has
taken a leading role.
The Center for Retailing Studies
in the Marketing Department of
A&M’s business school helps pro
duce some of the country’s most re
cruited retailing graduates.
The Center, a privately funded
unit of the College, is designed to
present retailing as a career option
to many students, including those
who may never have considered this
opportunity, said Dr. Leonard
Berry, Director of the Center and
professor of Marketing.
The Center now has over 20 cor
porate sponsors, including Neiman-
Marcus, Foley’s, Joske’s, The Kroger
Company, Mervyn’s, Palais Royal,
the Tandy Corp./Radio Shack, Safe
way Stores, Sanger-Harris,
Brookshire Grocery Company, Zale
Corporation, H. E. Butt Grocery
Co., Wicks ’N Sticks, Color Tile Su
permans Inc., Payless-Cashways,
Levcor Inc, The Herring Croup,
Wal-Mart Stores, Randall’s Grocery
Stores, and The Southland Corp.
In addition to financial support,
the sponsors give time to Center pro
grams and corporate officers serve
on the advisory board.
Among the programs sponsored
are the annual Retailing Career Fair
and Symposium, a guest lecture se
ries, an executive in residence pro
gram, and other activities.
“We recognize that changes are
coming (in the retialing industry,”
said Dr. Berry, “and we want to do a
better job of preparing students for
them.”
The annual Retailing Career Fair
and Symposium, held February 4, is
part of the business students’ annual
career fair and business week. It has
attracted recruiters from more than
20 major retialing firms.
Most Of the A&M business grad
uates who wanted jobs in retailing
this year were able to get them,
according to Marketing faculty
members. The department offers
two courses that focus directly on re
tailing studies. Marketing majors
may choose a set of “directed electi
ves” in the degree program.
It appears that the Center for Re
tailing Students in A&M’s College of
Business Administration is serving as
a “bridge” between academics and
the professional arena, and that is
important to students, companies,
and the average consumer.
