Embezzler not paying debt to school on time

Staff writer
Despite an order to pay back $200 a month to the University of Kansas for money he embezzled, Steve McMurry has paid only $100 since Dec. 10, according to court records.
McMurry, former coordinator of the campus bus service, was convicted in 1983 for embezzling from the University Transportation board. He was ordered to pay $257,000 in restitution to the University.
$25,000 in restitution to the University as a part of his conviction on five counts of felony theft of property. Douglas County District Court records show that McMurry has paid only $160 to date.
McMurry also received four 2-5 year prison terms to be served consecutively and another 2-5 year sentence to be served concurrently. He was paroled in December 1984 after serving 17 months of his sentence. Shortly after his release, McMurry moved to the Denver area.
Wistman, McMurry's parole officer.
"I think he had no idea how serious the situation was," said Van
Wistman said McMurry was on a payment plan which calls for him to pay the University $200 per month unless McMurry begins to earn more than he does now.
At that rate, it would take 107 years to repay the full amount.
Mc Murry faces revocation of his parole and a return to prison if he fails to keep up with the payments.
Rose Marino, assistant general counsel for the University, said the plan was to have started in December, but court records show that no payment has been received since a $100 payment on Dec. 10.
"Well, he did so well before, maybe he will be able to do so again and then pay it off completely." Marino said.
The University of Kansas filed a civil suit against McMurry in August 1984 to force McMurry to pay the debt after his parole expires in July 1988, but Marino said the University will not use the civil suit to pressure McMurry unless it becomes necessary.
