Raynard Fenster, 1977 student body president at Metropolitan State College admitted in Denver District Court last week he had presented a false contract as security for a $149,000 gover~ nment loan. Evidence also showed that Fenster had apparently presented a fake equipment appraisal to a Miami investment firm to obtain an additional $125,000. As a result, Judge Zita Wein• shienk issued a preliminary injunction freezi'ng all assets of Fenster's corporations. After leaving MSC, Fenster was heavily involved in local and state politics. He moved quickly ~ through Republican circles, but the word "unsuccessful" always crops up when Fenster campaigns are mentioned. Fenster was the 1978 campaign " manager of Joe Shoemaker's "unsuccessful'' attempt to unseat Governor Richard Lamm. Fenster was "unsuccessful" again this year when he ran for a spot on the Denver City Council. The cloud over Fenster's .., dealings will also fall over the elderly subscribers of the Vista Ambulance Service (a.k.a. Sentry Ambulance Service). The tran-

freeze. Anyone calling Sentry's telephone number this week is greeted by a recorded message sternly informing them the number has been disconnected. The wicked web of deception was first spun when Marketing and Research Consultants Inc., a company controlled by Fenster and his business partner., Roger Youmans, form.e d a subsidiary whose business goal was to sell advertising on the sides of semitrailer trucks. . Fenster sought capitalization ·for his idea, now called Trailer Boards, Inc., from Verde Capital Corporation of Miami. Verde is a conduit for financing minority-owned businesses with Small Business Administration money. Fenster secured the loan after presenting Verde officials with a contract from the Ramada Inn Corporation for over $700,000 in advertising from Trailer Boards. Fenster admitted in court that the contract was fake, but claims he doesn't know how the signatures got on the contract. The web now gets stickier. Jerry Berlin, head of Verde Capital, also

later went to Berlin and told him of a great deal ·he had lined up. ·Fenster said he could purchase $400,000 worth of equipment for Trailer Boards Inc. for only $125,000. The equipment was coming from a company· called World Crest Inc. Greber Investement was shown an appraisal .of the equipment done by the Janis Associates firm. Janis said the goods were worth $418,000. Greber approved the loan. There was a catch however. There is no such fir~ as Janis Associates. What's more, the

pany to Fenster's corporation. Estimates made last week placed the true value of the equipment at less than ten thousand dollars. .\\:'hat happe~ed to th~ quarter million dollars 1s the sub1ect of an ongoing investigation. Officials know that at least $34,000 from Greber was used to purchase gold for another Fenster controlled firm, Expressions in Gold Inc., run by former MSC student Jim Valona. Meanwhile, Fenster and Youmans face a million dollar suit over their actions.

The Society appealed to the State Office of Planning and Budgeting, ::. (OPB), but were refused funds to fix the pipe. After S months the OPB agreed to supply funding out of monies withheld from the primary contractor for the center. Borneman said the contractor may sue over the issue, since the acutal work on the pipe was done by ~ sub-contracto.r. Dr. Maxine Benson, the curator of records at the center, said her staff has been "dragging around in the heat" taking care of "the essentials." "I'm sure the conditions are having a negative effect on the records, but it's impos_sible to tell at this point," she said. "Even when the system was working • properly it wasn't working to optimum standards." Borneman said be is hopeful the pipe wiff be fixed soon after repairs begin ne1:t week. He said even when the temperature problem is resolved the conditions will not be a total safeguard against the • deterioration of irreplacable records. The building was designed to be humidity controlled, he said, but the plan was dropped for lack of funding. "Maybe someone will see fit to properly preserve these things," he ~d.

The cooling system of the Colorado Heritage Center may be repaired next week, State Historical.. Society officials said, but there is no way of gauging , . dan!age to the documents in the library section. The Heritage Building's library contains microfilm records, maps, historic documents, photographs, and collections from Colorado's past. The building was designed to be climate controlled, but when a water pipe broke last February, the Historical Society found itself in the postion of an aggrieved tenant, facing six months of red tape. When the underground water pipe broke six months ago, the Heritage Center was left without heat or airconditioning. The records in the center library, which are supposed to be stored between 62 and 68 degrees to insure preservation, were exposed to harsh changes in temperature. The structure, o built with non-opening windows since the ai space was "climate controlled", ex- ~ perienced temperatures in the mid 90's s over the past three weeks.

,Esteve blasts Castro's global plans I I By Kim Breizenbeck

The enigma of Cuba, what it stands for and where it is going has long been :J>art of the American political thought. Until recently, no American citizen was allowed to visit Cuba legally. The communist island, 90 miles from Florida was a mystery. Is Cuba the force and instigator of rebellions in Nigeria, Ethiopia and f_possibly Nicaragua, or a benevolent .. society raised out of the mire of corrup. tion only wishing for better relations with the United States? One man who was there when the mystery began was Associate Professor Juan Esteve, Chairman o!the Modern Languages Department at Metropolitan ·State College. Professor Esteve was a teacher of political economy and a practicing attorney in Cuba for ten years. He attended school in Havana and was personally acquainted with Fidel Castro. The following is a Metropolitan in'>terview with Professor Esteve. Q: What led Cuba to the revolution in 1959? Esteve: Fulgencio Batista was president from 1933 to 1944. Then Ramone San Martin and then Carlos Prio, who committed suicide because of •his own corruption with drugs and other -vices. Then in 1952 Batista took power again in a bloodless coup d'etat. Batista pretended Cuba would be a democratic country but be was making a lot of money for himself at the country's expense. This was no political solution in •respect and concern for the people in need. It was supposed to be a democracy with a constitution but in practice it never worked. The corruption before Castro left no 0 alternative except revolution. iii Q: When were you first acquainted :>.

Castro felt it was to the disadvantage of the United States to underestimate . smaller countries' power and influence. Q: Do you think the United States ignoring Cuba at that time was instrumental in Communism in being ac:cepted by Castro? Esteve: If the attitude of the United States would have been different it probably wouldn't have changed things but it did accelerate the process. . Q: You mentioned Che Guevara. His death is still somewhat of a mystery . Do you have any opinions about Che? Esteve: I believe Fidel Castro was instrumental in the killing of Che Guevara. If Che had succeeded in his e.xploits and started a revolution in Bolivia, I think Cuba would have received the credit. There was a real competition for popularity between Fidel and Che. I think his death served a two-fold purpose. I would say Che had become a political hero, as most people who die in a political cause and this helps the advancement of Commu,nism. Q: What are your feelings about Castro now? Esteve: I am not a pro-communist but it is a mistake to underestimate Fidel Castro's political genius. He has a great perception of world politics but I disagree with the means . Castro bas no means, only an end. He is a typical Machiavellian.

Editorial Gluttonous gas-guzzlers must go!By S. Peter Duray-Bito A month ago, I bought a Mazda GLC a small, Japanese import that boasted a 30 inside the EPA mileage square. Prior to that, I ran from dealer to dealer comparing the number. I wasn't too concerned about size, performance, styling or country of origin. I was just concerned about two things: price and, above all, how much it was going to cost me to operate the thing. All of which led me to some thinking. I was grappling with what may be the biggest problem of our times: how to get by on less. As a veteran, my . - - - - - - - - - - - - . benefits have been the same for the last two years - during which inflation has made everything 20 percent more expensive. Add to that the increase in the price of gas and you can see why 'less' is my theme. By consuming less gas, my Mazda isn't as costly to operate as, say, a GMC 4x4. In fact, I have defrayed gas inflation because my operating costs with the Mazda are about the same as driving a large American V-8 back when gas was 30¢

a gallon. I not only got to thinking, but to looking, as well. I began noticing large Pontiac Bonnevilles, Dodge Ramchargers with extra-wide, fuel consuming tires, pick-ups with wheels as big as my car and engines that shake the road surface. I've noticed people accelerate and stop, like clockwork, as they jackrabbit their way from Broadway to Larimer on 14th, 16th or 18th Streets. I could not figure out why they hadn't figured out that moving slowly at the rate the lights change saves gas and brake lining. At night I have trouble falling asleep when a

"souped-up" car roars by my window with its tires screaming. Buses run by my house, empty, followed by a string of cars each with a single occupant - an impatient motorist cursing the slow speed of the bus. The last straw was pulled Saturday evening when I found myself leaving school and walking downtowri to meet a friend. As I neared 15th Street, I heard the trembling of a hundred engines echo through the streets. I rounded the corner and was blinded by a sea of slowly moving cars - all late models, all big, with wide tires, people yelling to each other from car to car, wasting time, wasting gas. I was really infuriated. By now, I've calmed .... down some. As long as these people continue to insist on wasting gas, there will be no fundamental change that everyone is talking about in order for· America to cope with gas inflation. I see no indication that these people, the 15th Street cruisers, or the 4x4 hustlers or the Ramcharger draggers, are.ever going to reduce their gas consumption and, logically, I see no reason for anyone to complain about anything. All's well in the Republic.

Uve...from Miami

Bundy ready for prime time By Sal Ruibal Things are looking up. The Oklahoma Jaycees recently voted a convicted scapel murderer as one of their "Outstanding Young Men of the Year." The National Jaycees objected, but I fear that their anger was caused by the fact that the gentleman in question was also a journalist. Journalists often come in second to scapel murderers. If awards are being given out, I think that Ted Bundy is in line for some sort of prize. In a summer full of depressing gas and inflation stories, a series of grisly sex-murders make things much easier for d~rate editors. Maybe the Jaycees were right. The Straight Creek Journal took a breather from its relentless attack of the DCPA to feature Ron Wolf's candid memories of the case. At the News, rumor has it that Gene Amole plans to reveal that Ted Bundy was the mysterious recipient of Metro State's one and only Master's degree. . . The newspapers aren't the only vultures picking up copy from the Bundy case. The local teevee moguls have determined that Bundy is an outstanding young man in the field of crime and have bestowed on the case television's highest honor, satellite coverage. Bundy is now cliiming that he can't receive a fair trial in Miami because of pre-trial publicity. The fact of the matter is Ted Bundy cannot receive a fair trial in any city that receives television signals. The media saturation is so intense that Katmandu has been considered as a possible change of venue site. Aside from sending the trial to Tierra del Fuego, there are solutions, If Bundy cannot get a fair trial in court, why not try him on television? A normal trial of this magnitude often costs more than a million dollars, and network expenses probably are triple that. The defense and the prosecution would each be given a million dollars up front to organize and produce a video presentation of their case. The networks could pay the court costs through the sale-a( advertising. The trial would run only three hours nightly for the period of one week: Monday through Wednesday

... <1..i •

for the prosecution, Thursday through Saturday for the defense. On Super Sunday, the viewer jury would see one hour summations from both sides, then folks could call an 800 number in Las Vegas. Show business personalities would field various questions and comments about the case, live from Caesar's Palace. Voting would take place through ballots either inserted in TV Guide, or Gillete could make them available in supemarkets along with "Will It Be a Close Shave For Ted?" campaign. Voters would also be eligible for a sweepstakes with trips to Tallahassee, Florida offered as the prizes. If Bundy is found innocent, he would be awarded a series of his own. If the verdict is guilty, there could be only one possible spinoff: death by elec: trocution on the Tonight _Sh_qw, If Bundy were allowed to present his case to the American people, he would stand a good chance of being acquitted. Bundy is charismatic and knows • how to manipulate the media. In depositions released Saturday, Bundy demonstrated that he can build a crowd better than Muhammed Ali. He came very close to admitting the murders of over one hundred women. Close enough to titilate, but not close enough to convict. Bundy gave hope to allpolice chiefs with a file full of unsolved murders. Bundy also revealed his commetciai side. When questioned as to his preference for Volkswagens as his mort ex machina, Bundy said the VW had great gas mileage and the removeable front seat allowed thc;,.easy transport of "damaged cargo." If Susan Ford can endorse Subaru as her " running mate," then surely no less a criminal as Ted Bundy should be allowed to state his preference in automobiles. In the end, Ted Bundy will probably meet his fate in the electric chair or gas chamber, depending on which state finally gets a conviction. Not to worry, though, I'm sure somewhere out there is a sixteen year-old boy clipping Bundy stories and dreaming of the day when he'll make the Big Time, r ... ._ .......... lOO.

weight of the wheels, tires, and crankset (pedals). Particular attention should be paid to those components as they will be noticed most in daily riding. ''Many people overlook the geometry of the frame and how it fits the individual as a function of geometry,'' states Strumbos. "However, this is very important because it determines how comfortable the bike will be for the rider. The length of the torso as well as the legs should be considered. Always test ride the bike you want to buy, as that's the only way you can really tell if it fits you personally." Strumbos recommends buying from .a dealer that specifllizes in service as well

as sales. "Although most average priced bikes come with a lifetime guarantee on the frame a year on the components (brakes, wheels, pedals and gears), if the bike is bought from a dealer who will not service them, the consumer ends up paying another shop to do any work, even if it's still unde_r warranty." "If you're looking for a deal, you can usually get one in the off season of January and February, and by watching for sales," advises Mr. Strumbos. "Shop around, this is an extremely competitive field. However, a chain store bike, although cheaper initially, may not prove to be a good investment. The bikes are usually heavy, anq thus less enjoyable to

ride. Most aren't very durable and service from the dealer is rarely available.'' Once you've decided on your bike, accessories are entirely up to you. Special lightweight clothes are available as well as toe clips, helmets, reflectors and water bottles. There are often sales on these items, so keep your eyes open. Now that you can enter a bike shop with confidence, take your time to decide on just the right bike for you. Don't buy it if there are any questions about the dealer, servicing, warranties, or the bikr itself. A careful and thoughtful choice governed by your instincts and preferen ces, will result in an investment that pay for itself in enjoyment and durClbility.

MSC cyclist sets sights on two-day Coors· race He now races for the Columbine Cycle Club and is sponsored by the House of Wheels, a local bicycle sh or. Bike racing is a speed rather than strength sport, he said. The conditioning is much the same as for running events and requires more than a year of constant training. A bicycle race resembles a pack of lean t.wo-wheeled wolves zipping around an asphalt course. The competitors can reach speeds over 30 miles per hour and .2 crashes are not uncommon. iii Pettyjohn is well aware of the risk of ~ racing. In his career he has received his :; share of broken bones, scraped knees, o and bruised shoulders.

feature Huckabay leaves school for more respect By S. Peter Duray-Bito A year ago, Dr. James L. Huckabay would walk into a classroom with a binder full of notes, casually erase the blackboard while answering questions from students and begin a discussion on wet and dry adiabatic rates. Today, Dr. Huckabay stands in front of a TV camera, his mind packed with the day's weather, and points to the temperature in Grand Junction, informing viewers that a weak front will pass over Denver. "Teaching is a lot more satisfying than being a TV weatherman," admits Huckab.ay, 37. But then he looks at a wall monitor and smiles: "I also make more money at this,'' Dr. Huckabay left his professorship at UCD's Geography Department last summer and is now doing the morning and Noonday weather on KOA-TV Channel 4. The transition wasn't as drastic as some people would believe, he says, since he has some broadcasting experience. He did TV reporting in Korea while in the Air Force and also worked at Channel 6 in Denver. "It took me a while to get used to the .black-box again," says Huckabay. "It's not unlike teaching though. I'm giving people information what will-be useful to them. But I still Like teaching better." Why, then, did he give up his cai:eer at UCO? He was faculty chairman from 1977-78 and was aiinalist for the Teacher of the Year Award three years in a row.

five radio spots and two TV broadcasts in the morning and one each for TV and radio at noon. In four hours, he makes more money than in a full day of teaching. "Not only would they deny salary increases, the legislators felt they had to put down UCO as an institution," Huckabay complains. ''There was no longer any prestige to being a professor there. I might as well go somewhere where I can make some money." Money is a definite goal for Dr. Huckabay. "I used to tell my friends that I considered myself having 'made-it' when I can get up and fly to London for breakfast without a second thought." Fantasies aside, Huckabay felt he was worth more than the $16,000 a year salary he was receiving at UCO and decided to go out on the open market to prove that to himself. "Dr. Huckabay was one of the best teachers we had," feels Dr. Richard Stevens of the UCO Geography Department. "But he couldn't consult full-time and teach full-time. I can understand why he went for the money. I would have too, were I his age with similar opportunities." "In fact, I threatened to leave many times myself, but money doesn't mean quite as much to me any more,'' says Stevens, 48. "This year has been particularly dejecting, though, but maybe it will get better.'' Dr. Huckabay's position has not

"I got sick and tired of the legislators telling me what I was worth," states Huckabay, referring to educational limitations recently enacted by the Colorado State Legislature. "My salary raises were well below the cost of living rate and I had found out that, two years after graduating, some of my students were making more money as geographers/meterologists at other state insitutions that I was making." Huckabay left UCO last summer and started a consulting firm that provides environmental impact statements to whoever needs them, mostly mining companies. Through his firm, he contracts out to KOA on Mondays and Tuesdays - the only days Charles Merlin Umpenhour, KOA's weather chief, has free.

David Minkler, 24, is a UCO Economics major in his first year. Having never taken a college level science course, he registered for Huckabay's last Weather and Climate class in the spring of 1978. "He presented thing so we could understand them," says Minkler. "He had a tremendous understanding of the matt:rial and knew how to handle a class." Minkler, who still remembers wet and dry adiabatic rates, contends that Huckabay wasn't paid what he was worth. "He makes you want to work," insists Minkler.

'Bloodline' proves to be.anemic I.

By Emerso. Schwartzkopf ' Potboilers - once the staple of corner drugstore boo~ racks and Hollywood "B" movies - are entering a new respectability in the 1970's. Simply-written, thickly-plotted, and sexually titillating, the potboiler story became big money and big box office in the latter part of the decade. Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline fulfills all the requirements of a potboiler movie, utilizing a glamorous international cast in a twisting tale of romance and murder among the rich and lively of Europe. Unfortunately, for all the movie's sub-plots, intrigues, and counter-intrigues, Bloodline fails in presenting a strong and forceful story of either suspense or romance. This is not to say Bloodline is a poor movie in itself; however its superficiality in intent overshadows the movie's cast and cinematics. Adapted from the book by Sidney Sheldon (The Other Side of Midni&ht, I Dream of Jeanie), Bloodline is the story of Elizabeth Roffe (Audrey Hepburn), suddenly made president of a multinational pharmaceutical firm after the death of her father in a climbing accident. At her first board meeting as president, Elizabeth encounters a number of cousins pushing to make the private, family-owned corporation public. The meeting is interrupted by Inspector Hornung (Gert Frobe) and his proof that Elizabeth's father died intentionally - a murder. Also, Hornung begins to reveal ambition, greed and financial troubles are the cousins' motives in making the company public. Elizabeth decides to keep the company in family hands - and becomes a target for murder itself. From here, Bloodline becomes a tale of sub-plots and murder attempts leading to a flaming village in Sardinia, where Elizabeth must attempt to guess her ally from her killer to be saved. The movie, though, is too loosely constructed to create the intensity needed for suspense. The only mysterious element (and reason for the R rating) is a series of pornographic "snuff" films laced throughout Bloodline. The porno murders relate directly to the resolution of the plot - in the last minute of the movie. Besides the "snuff" scenes, any kind of violence or sex is shied away from in a nearly Victorian manner. A marriage of convenience between Elizabeth and Rhys

Hepburn in Bloodline: lukewarm potboiler

Williams (Ben Gazzara) is consummated with a mere look at a hotel facade. The nailing of a character's knees to the floor with spikes is handled with just dialogue. Admittedly, such a violent scene could become gruesome, but the "bands-off-its-naughty" attitude eliminates the terror needed for continuity in suspense. Cinematically, Bloodline is conservative in its camerawork and technique (much like television but good. The cast also passes muster, with the photogenic Hepburn, the grim Gazzara, and uneven performances from the international cast (James Mason, Romy Schnieder, Irene Papas, Beatrice Straight). The only notables in the cast are Frobe, rolling out his tight-lipped,

smirking German inspector again; and Omar Sharif in an embarrassing clownlike role of a womanizing Italian oaf. Bloodline is a well-made and, except for the "snuff" sequences, unoffensive film. Its lack of suspense or lurid romance, though, makes Bloodline banal - the character of the film is neither taut in terror (as in disaster potboilers) or campy

in absurdism, as in last year's The Betsy. Early in Bloodline, after Elizabeth Roffe is told of her father's death, she remarks about "being under an anesthetic - but not knowing when it's going to wear off." Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline lingers comatose until the 路final credits.

Esteve blasts Castro's plans :ontinu~d

from page 3 Esteve: Russia and Cuba have a clearly defined relationship. It is all money. . There is one million dollars a day coming from Russia to help the economy of Cuba. Q: Do you think a deal has beeri made between Russia and Cuba? An ex::hange of money for Cuban troops in various parts of the world? Esteve: It seems. very few people may know the exact agreement. In my opinion Fidel Castro is very super-ambitious. He WClI\tS to become another Napoleon, a world figure. Q: Do you see the government of Cuba changing in the near future? Esteve: I believe that the current system is quite consolidated and very , strong. It would be very difficult to overthrow unless some internal rebellion could materialize. But due to the military control of Castro there is very little

possibility of success in that direction. I feel a great majority of the Cuban people are not happy with the current social, political and economic situation but they restrain themselves for fear of reprisal. Q: Wfhat sort of attiude should be taken towards Cuba? Esteve: I am for negotiating with Castro because every attempt for change from the outside has failed. He has a well-trained army and is willing and determined to make any sacrifice to advance world Communism. . Although there were some positive effects after the revolution, such as an advancement in the status of soine very deserving people, my real concern is when the people of Cuba will be able to rescue themselves. themselves. Q: How do you think the government of the United States could bring

about changes in Cuba? Esteve: You cannot impose political ideas on anyone until they have made the decisions themselves. · But through negotiation a peaceful coexistence is best in the long run. I think the people of the United States shouls be more realistic and less romaptic about politics. The government and individuals in . power should not "e arrogant or indifferent to the needs and legitimate rights of people in less powerfuU positions. Communism will not solve the problems of humanity. Communists use anyone or anything to prove their cause. I am against it and would nev$!r be a communist. But I would never stop fighting against injustice. I would insist on a civil dialogue with Fidel Castro. His credibility is zero, he is a liar, but at least we should try.
