Crime Stoppers needs help with
any information on a local burglary
and the location of five fugitives
wanted for misdemeanor theft by
check.
Sometime between 9 a.m. and
3:30 p.m. on Monday, May 7th, sus
pects entered a home in the 2000
block of Indian Trail in College Sta
tion.
Responding officers report that a
window was found broken, however
they do not believe that the thieves
entered through the window, but
only broke it in order to make this
offense appear to be a routine day
time burglary.
Detectives believe that a key hid
den on the premises of the residence
may have been used to enter the
home.
Once inside the house, the sus-
pect(s) stole the following property
valued at more than $13,000:
• A Macintosh Computer
• A Sony 8mm Camcorder
• A Yamaha receiver and laservi-
sion CD player
• A Panasonic VCR and
• A Sony XBR 32” color tele
vision.
Investigators said that to date no
suspects have been linked to this un
usual offense. Even though the bur
glary was staged to appear routine,
detectives said that there may be
more than meets the eye.
Knowledge of any unusual activity
in this neighborhood on May 7th or
the possible location of the stolen
items should be reported to the Col
lege Station Police Department.
Police are also looking for these
five wanted fugitives in connection
with misdeanor theft by check:
• Donald Wayne Clark, AKA
Wayne Clark, white male, 5T0”, age
22.
• Donna Kay Jones, AKA Donna
Rice, white female, 5’6”, age 38.
• Freddie Gilford Middlebrook,
white male, 6’2”, age 43.
• Vickie Ann Ladnier, white fe
male, 5’5”, age 24.
• Cynthia Gail Ridgway, white fe
male, 5T”, age34.
If information leads to the arrest
of any of these fugitives, Crime
Stoppers will pay $50 in cash for
each one for a total of $250 for all
five.
When you call, you will be as
signed a special coded number to
protect your identity. If your call
leads to an arrest and grand jury in
dictment, Crime Stoppers will pay
you up to $1000 in cash. Crime Stop
pers also pays cash for information
on any felony crime or the location
of any wanted fugitive.

Of The Battalion Staff
To cut through red tape inhibiting oceanographic
studies, Texas A&M and Mexico have worked out a re
search agreement that will benefit both the University
and Mexico.
The new five-year cooperative program, “Analysis
Multidisciplinario de Investigaciones en Golfo de Mexi
co” (AMIGO), will allow scientists to conduct experi
ments within the 200-mile exclusive economic zones of
Mexico and the United States.
Dr. G. Rowe, head of the A&M oceanography de
partment, said the department has had a long informal
relationship with Mexico for a variety of reasons.
Rowe said the most important tie A&M has with
Mexico is that both want to study the Gulf of Mexico. It
is impossible to study just one part of the Gulf of Mex
ico, so collaboration is a necessity, Rowe said.
“In the past, we have had to go through tedious re
quests for permission to study within the Mexican
boundries,” Rowe said. “It took forever, and often fell
through. These setbacks had nothing to do with sci
ence. They were all political.”
AMIGO was formed as a mechanism to get around
the political hindrances, Rowe said.
After speaking with the admiral of the Mexican
Navy, Rowe and A&M officials managed to convince
the Mexican government to allow experimental cruises
into Mexican waters.
“Now all we have to do is simply contact the Mexican
Navy and tell them where we will be,” Rowe said. “We
then invite Mexican scientists to come on the cruises at
our expense and allow them to collect any data we get.”
By permitting this, Rowe added, Mexico is able to
benefit from AMIGO because its government is pres
ently unable to fund many expeditions.
AMIGO has three basic purposes, Rowe said. It al
lows A&M to experiment in Mexican waters without
many stipulations, it promotes science exploration with
Mexican scientists and it improves relations with the
country, he said.
Rowe said AMIGO was envisioned as a five-year pro
gram, but he expects it to continue even after that.

SCORED BETWEEN 75 AND 79:

tected outer openings of restaurant, unclean
floors, improper storage of toxic items (major
violation) and unnecessary articles on prem
ises. The restaurant was inspected because of
a complaint.
David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at
the department, said restaurants with scores
of 95 or above generally have excellent opera
tions and facilities. He said restaurants with
scores in the 70s or low 80s usually have se
rious violations in the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson said,
because restaurants can get the same score by
having several minor violations or a few major
violations. He said the minor violations can be
corrected during the inspection. Point deduc
tions or violations in the report range from
one point (minor violations) to five points
(major violations).
Jefferson said the department might close a
restaurant if the score is below 60, the person
nel have infectious diseases, the restaurant
lacks adequate refrigeration, there is a sewage
backup in the building or the restaurant has a
complete lack of sanitization for the food
equipment.
The department inspects each restaurant
every six months. Jefferson said a follow-up
inspection is sometimes required if a restau
rant has a four- or five-point violation that
cannot be corrected during the inspection, or
if there are numerous small violations.
In the Wednesday, May 16 issue of The Battalion, an article
stated the A.P. Beutel Health Center would be closed from May 14
to June 1. The Urgent Care area (night and weekend clinic) is the
only part of the health center that will be closed during this gap.
