AUSTIN (AP) — An Austin nar
cotics investigator has told the police
chief that 50 current or former em
ployees of the city’s Emergency
Medical Services are suspected of
major involvement with illegal drugs
on or off duty, it was reported
Thursday.
Narcotics Lt. Pete Taylor said in
the confidential memo that informa
tion about drug use and sales by
EMS personnel was derived from
police informants, the Austin Amer-
ican-Statesman reported.
The investigation led to the arrest
last month of three EMS employees
on drug charges. At that time, EMS
officials said they did not think there
was a widespread drug problem in
the department.
The 50 employees who allegedly
were involved with drugs represent
about 41 percent of the 122 medical
personnel in the department, which
in 1984 was named the outstanding
EMS agency in the nation.
Fourteen of the 50 people named
in the memo are suspected of using
drugs while on duty and 10 are sus
pected of selling illegal drugs, the
newspaper reported.
One EMS employee sold drugs to
an undercover officer while on duty,
according to the memo, which men
tions marijuana, cocaine, metham-
phetamine, Ecstasy and prescription
drugs.

In the memo, Taylor told Chief
James Everett that police began in
vestigating in August after receiving
a tip that numerous EMS employees
allegedly “were using drugs . . . and
dealing drugs on a small scale.”
Bill Stockton, EMS director, said
he was aware of the scope of the po
lice investigation, but he said he has
not determined whether the figures
in the memo are accurate or indicate
a pervasive problem.
“The allegations are very serious
and I take them very seriously,”
Stockton said.

A&M multicultural director relays
misconceptions of black history

Jesus, Moses and Beethoven were
black men, Kevin Carreathers, direc
tor of Texas A&M’s Multicultural
Services Center, informed students
at Rudder Tower Thursday.
In a presentation commemorating
Nigerian National Day, “Black His
tory: The True Story from 1200
B.C. to Present,” Carreathers said
many conventional accounts of his
tory are distortions that intentionally
left blacks out of the picture. The
history people accept is dependent
on what version of that history they
read, he said, and many of the ac
cepted versions were designed to
keep blacks ignorant of their heri
tage. Blacks who know traditional
world and American history don’t
know their own history, he said.
The version of history he accepts,
Carreathers said, places blacks at the
forefrunt of many of mankind’s ma
jor breakthroughs. He said many
scholars credit blacks with the dis
covery of government, science,
mathematics and religion — “the

Kevin Carreathers, Director of Multicultural Services at Texas A&M
University, speaks on black history in commemoration of the Nigerian
National Day.
“The history of black people is the
longest success story running,” Car
reathers said. “When we speak of
world history, we are talking about
black history.”
Carreathers also said blacks have
made significant historical and tech
nological contributions in America
for which they have been, for the
most part, overlooked. Black men
built the first clock in America, laid
out plans for the capitol building, in

“Blacks have participated in every
single historical event that has taken
place in America,” Carreathers said.
“There were blacks on the ship with

After he spoke, several students in
the mostly black audience ques

black man. Carreathers told thestu
dents they should seriously research
the issue to discover the truth.
