157 counts of felony theft in the
embezzlement. Testimony last
week indicated he lavished most
of the stolen funds on women he
met through an X-rated club in
Chicago’s suburbs.
In closing arguments, de
fense lawyer Arthur Lerner
argued Parker, a long-time re
spected financial administrator
at the Urbana campus, suffers
from paranoia and is not re
sponsible for the embezzlement
or for spending the money on
women and entertainment.
“It is a disease like cancer or
like tuberculosis,” Lerner told
the Jefferson County six-man,
six-woman jury in his final argu
ment. “A mental disease is like a
window into hell. It’s something
you can’t control.”
But prosecutor Thomas Di-
fanis said Parker rationally
tested the system of transferring
money from one bank account
to another, then spending it.

LOS ANGELES — The
Atlantic Richfield Co., the na
tion’s seventh largest oil com
pany, is considering ending its
credit card service in what
analysts believe could be an in
dustry-wide move to get out of
the credit business.
Arco spokesman Albert
Greenstein disclosed Thursday
that the company is studying
such a move to ease the growing
burden that credit sales are plac
ing on the cost of selling gaso
line.
But Greenstein emphasin^d
the move is just one proposal for
dealing with the credit card
burden.
He said other alternatives
under consideration for lower
ing the cost of credit sales in
clude charging fees to dealers or
customers who use the service.
Greenstein declined to specu
late on what such a move would
do to the price of gasoline at the
pump, or what other credit ser
vices may be offered in lieu of oil
company sponsored cards.
