Local airline fraud case still open
By DON SMITH
Reporter
Fraud and check-evasion charged against a local airline are still pending, according to Emery Goad, an investigator for the Kansas attorney general's office.
Ray Robinson, manager of Air Jayhawk, the airline under investigation, is being sought by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the state of Kansas to sponsor a trip his company was to sponsor to Jamaica last spring. Good said yesterday.
About 90 University of Kansas students lost $120 each when Robinson apparently fled Lawrence last March before warrants for the charges were served.
"We want to him as bad as they (the students involved) do." Good said.
Robinson will be sued for about $14,000,
which includes refunds for the students and
$2,000 if each civil offense he committed.
Goad said.
The case began last March 5, four days before spring break, when a federal
restraining order against Robinson and Air Jayhawk was issued in Kansas City, Kan. by U.S. District Judge Earl E. O'Connor. The order, sought by the FAA, prevented Robinson and Air Jayhawk from operating the tour.
On March 6 Robinson said, "We will飞 Saturday (the day the tour was scheduled to begin)."
By the end of the week, Robinson had apparently fled Lawrence, and the tour was cancelled with no apparent attempt by Robinson to refund the $120 to each student.
Goad said all information about Robinson had been submitted to the National Crime Intrusion
"if this guy is even checked out for speeding he will be apprehended immediately because his name will come out of the computer." Gaud said.
Good said a Miami airport lounge, believed to be frequented by Robinson, was since absence. Robinson hadn't been seen at the lofts and since the warrants were issued, he said.
"If he is caught the FBI will be notified first," Gaod said. "Then, since we will have the first unlawful flight warrant, the FBI will turn him over to us."
David Berkowitz, Douglas County Atty,
would if Robinson was appealed to would
be the correct answer.
"I think the FBI has a fugitive from justice warrant out for him (Robinson)." Berkowitz said. "We don't have the manpower to search all over the world for him."
Berkowitz said a state warrant for fraud against Robinsten wasn't served.
"He (Robinson) never had a warrant
on him here because he had already left
it."
He said he thought Robinson had been in his bank account after he left Lawyers.
"I think sooner or later he will be appended." Berkowitz said. "He'll try it on me."
Carol Boneh, director of the Consumer Protection Association (CPA), said she had
been contacting the attorney general's office about a twice month about the case.
"It's not a situation where they're dropping the ball," she said "just that they are going to do it."

Boea said the CPA was attempting to update a list of students who were involved in the case and their addresses. She said that the CPA office had an incomplete list of 52 students involved in the case and that other students who were involved should contact the CPA.
"I think they should have held him up," when he started the controversy, "Warshaw said. "They should have seen that the con was coming."
Warshaw said he doubted he would ever recover his money.
Bill Warshaw, Dodge City junior, was one of the students involved in the case. He said he didn't receive any information from the school but office about the case since last spring.
"What have they done?" Warshaw said.
"I just don't know."

disrupt traffic or classes," he said. "We don't have to be very cooperative. They are to be very cooperative."
Conard said he would be concerned if today's filming disrupted classes or traffic. Del Shanker, executive chancellor for the University campus, who also talked with Bremerhaven, said she didn't expect any large crowds or disruption during today's filming.
David Dary, director of university relations, said he had talked with Marks late yesterday afternoon but Marks didn't hear anything additional filming on Jayhawk Boulevard.
Marks had said scenes were to be filmed today near the Memorial Campanile and Museum.
"I didn't hear about Jayhawk Bouevard," he said.
Marks said several scenes would be shot in campus today, including the two near
Conard said he had been told only of plans for one scene.
Dary said he and other administrators had met with Marks and Beremkam yesterday afternoon dufing the preparations for filming the parade.
He said the only request made by administrators was that the production crew remove a banner that had been strung across Jayhawk Boulevard.
Dary said he thought buses couldn't have passed under the banner. The producers were angry.
The statement said the University had decided, on the advice of legal counsel, that there was no reason to prohibit the filming of the video because it were given that there would be no disruption.
Dary said an official statement of policy about the filming was drafted Tuesday afternoon at a meeting of him, Conard, Shanklet, Richard Von Ende, executive attorney, Olifahfer, University attorney, and Larry Knapp, director of the news bureau.
Conard said the term "one scene" had been included because at the time the statement was drafted, the producers were trying to rally across the street from Green Hall.
The official statement also said that the University wasn't to be identified in any
Dary said some problems arose yesterday when several drums with "KU" in large red letters were carried by band members during the parade.
Cound, however, said he expected the presence of the drums in the parade to be a factor.
"They offered to let us see the movie after it was finished, and say whether anything was objectionable," he said. "We may take a look at it."
New appointments to be announced soon
Mary Townsend, director of minority affairs, will announce tomorrow appointments for assistant director of Supportive Education Services.
Supportive Education Services is a part of the Office of Minority Affairs, which provides tutors, some loans and Economic Opportunity Grants to minority students.

The voice proved to be wrong when Lovelace's stand-in showed instead.
The cars in the procession, which ranged from a customized Cadillac to a Triumph TR 3, formed in a line. The stand-in and the extras climbed into the cars, the band entered the crew took the last light readings and the parade was at last underway.
Three members of the basketball team were asked to lead the parade. Many were outfitted KU marching band apparaed out of the arena cheerleaders were rushed into make-up.
The parade only lasted a few minutes. The cars traveled down Jayhawk Boulevard to the intersection with Sunflower Road. Well wishers and curiosity seekers sought to touch "Lovelace" and speak with her. A few of them did.
Soon the car Lovelace's substitute was in moved up the street and she climbed back in.
The crowd began to disperse. The band played a few more songs, benefited of the cheer, and it was all over.
A street sweeper cleaned up the debris. The crew loaded its gear into the trucks and left. The KU police moved back to Hoch Auditorium. For them, the day was far from home as nearly time to go to Allen Field House to direct traffic for the Bill Glass Crusade.
