Six teams presented their audit
reports of local retailers in the Stan
ley Marcus Retailing Communica
tions Award finals Tuesday.
Dr. Leonard Berry, director for
the Center for Retailing Studies,
said, “The competition is designed
to nurture students’ communication
skills.”
Stanley Marcus, of Nieman-Mar-
cus department stores, created the
award last year to encourage stu
dents to further develop the verbal
and written communication skills re
quired by the retailing environment,
Berry said.
At the Career Fair awards lun
cheon Monday, scholarships of
$500, $250 and $100 will be given to
the first-, second-and third-place
teams respectively.
After the presentations. Berry-
called attention to what he thought-
were two important characteristicsof
the competition.
“It calls attention to the impor
tance of communication skills,”
Berry said. “It’s criminal how many
students graduate from high school
or college with poor communication
skills.
“Secondly,” he said, “it helps

deepen the involvement of the Cen
ter for Retailing Studies in the local
community.”
The Marcus competition is a term
project for students in Dr. Larry
Gresham’s marketing class. Thirty
teams of three to five students con
ducted comprehensive retail audits
of a local business. And six teams
were chosen to present their work
before a panel of retailers.
The oral and written presenta
tions were evaluated on content,
professionalism, style and clarity.
The written reports were eval
uated by the judges over the holiday
break and the oral presentations
were evaluated on Tuesday.
Judges this year were: Frank Ball,

dent; Roy Phillips, Dillards store
manager; Dr. George Lucas, assis

OFFICIAL NOTICE
Associated Press
AUSTIN — State Board of Insurance Chair
man L.yndon Olson said Wednesday the contro
versial 30.7 percent rate increase in workers’
compensation insurance was necessary to keep
more Texas insurance companies from going
broke.
“That was the hardest vote I have ever had to
cast since I have been on the board,” Olson, a
member of the board since 1978, told the House
Committee on Workers’ Compensation. “We felt
we acted responsibly.
Olson said the industry wanted a 40.8 percent
increase.
He was the first witness before the House
study group assigned the task of deciding what,
if anything, the 1987 Legislature should do
about what many call a crisis in the liability in
surance industry.
Rep. Richard Smith, R-Bryan, committee
chairman, said, “It is up to us to decide if we rec
ommend a fine-tuning of state laws or a major
rewrite. We cannot tell at this point.”
The committee was appointed to look into
workers’ compensation insurance following the
board’s decision to increase premiums by 30.7
percent.
Smith said the committee would meet March
4 in Austin to hear from the public and the in
dustry before public hearings in Houston,
Bryan, San Antonio and Dallas.
“I have a letter from U.S. Senator (Lloyd)
Bentsen, from one of his supporters who said he
has paid out only $300 in claims the last 10 years
yet he will have to pay a $10,000 premium for
workers comp this year,” said Roy Evans, a com
mittee member who is an employee of the U.S.
Department of Labor in Dallas.
Texas is only one of three states in which
workers’ compensation insurance is not manda
tory.
In 1984, there were 337 insurance companies
writing workers’ compensation. Olson said a re
cent survey showed that only 294 of the 615
companies licensed to write workers’ compensa
tion are actually issuing policies.
“In the calendar year 1984, the companies
writing this line of business wrote
S1.612
,428 in workers’compensao:
ance premiums, which is some S24 n
than 1982,” Olson said.
In 1985 “interest rates went down,
lion increased, damage awards increa
frankly all hell broke loose," Olson said.
The squeeze in workers’ compensa
ance is just part of the worldwide crisis
eral liability insurance, Olson said.
Complicating the situation, Olsonsai

seas, are refusing to reinsure policies*’
I exas and other states.
Olson said Lloyds of London fora

written in Texas but now muchofthat: |

companies.
He told the committee that 2 percer;

2 Latin American leaders to discuss oil prices
Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — The presi
dents of Mexico, Miguel de la Ma
drid, and of Venezuela, Jaime Lu-
sinchi, will meet Thursday in the
Mexican resort of Cancun to discuss
the effects sliding oil prices will have
on their nation’s economies.
Government sources here say the
two leaders will explore ways of co
operating to defend prices and seek
agreement on new price cuts to keep
up with those on the world market.
The sources said the new prices
may be announced Thursday or Fri
day. Petroleum is the major source
of foreign exchange for both na
tions, the two top oil producers in
Latin America.
Mexican and Venezuelan eco
nomic policies coincide in many as
pects, and both countries have re
duced their crude oil prices by $2 a
barrel during the past two months.
Mexico exports about 1.5 million
barrels daily and Venezuela about
1.36 million barrels. Mexico expects
about $14 billion in oil revenue this
year, while Venezuela projects 1986
earnings of $ 10.3 billion.
Mexican analysts says tk
prices drop to below S20a
the two countries yvill be in
economic trouble, especiall'
ability to meet payments o
foreign debts.
Venezuela’s foreign debts
$33.5 billion.
