Hunter Jumper Show to be held
Sunday for all breeds and ages
by Elizabeth Hascall
Battalion Reporter
This Sunday, 75 to 100 horses
will be jumping, walking, trot
ting and cantering, to compete
for ribbons and trophies.
The Horsemen’s Association
Hunter Jumper Show begins at
9 a.m. Sunday at the Animal Sci
ence Pavillion on Jersey St and is
open to all breeds of horses.
There will be divisions for
many different levels and types
of English riding.
The hunter divisions make
up most of the show and are
judged on the horses’ ability and
style.
The novice hunter division
(for the beginning rider) and the
green division (for the begin
ning horse) require the horses to
compete in three classes.
In two classes the riders show
their horses by riding through a
series of eight jumps two feet six
inches high. In another class the
riders are asked to walk, trot and
canter at the request of thejudge
and perform in a relaxed and
willing manner. The other hun
ter divisions, separated by
horse’s ability and riders age,
also have three similar classes.
Another division is equita-_
tion, in which the riders are
judged on their style and ability
to control the horse. These divi
sions are separated by age.
The jumper divisions —
usually the most exciting — are
judged only on the horse’s abil
ity to get over the fences.
Championships, in the form
of ribbons and trophies, will be
awarded in each division to the
horse and rider team that earn
the most points in their divi
sions.
The show will be judged by
Nancy Lewis, a fourth-year
veterinary student.
“We think there will be a good
turn out for this show,” said
Scott Callan, assistant vice presi
dent of the association.
“We expect 75 to 100 horses,’
he said.
Continental pilots say
they’re being harassed
United Press International
HOUSTON — Continental
Airlines pilots who have re
turned to work said Thursday
they have been harassed, their
homes and cars have been van
dalized and their families have
been threatened.
“It’s trench warfare now,”
said Chuck Arthur, spokesman
for the Air Line Pilots Associa
tion, who said the harassment is
not being fostered by the union.
“We have a publication going
out from our office, a daily pilot
update. Three times recently we
have warned and admonished
our members from doing that
kind of stuff. And every story
that I hear of where a flier has
been harassed I have stories of
guys supporting the strike who
have been harassed,” Arthur
said.
The majority of the harass
ment complaints occurred in
Los Angles, Denver and Hous
ton — the three major hubs of
Continental’s activities. _
Some pilots have complained
that their homes and cars were
splattered with red paint.
Others said they have been bil
led for expensive telegrams and
numerous magazine subscrip
tions. They said some have re
ceived postcards advising them
of the results of veneral disease
tests they did not take and some
complained their utilities have
been shut off suddenly.
agement was trying to break the
union. The company filed for
federal reorganization in U.S.
Bankruptcy court in Houston
two months ago and then asked
pilots and flight attendants to
take big pay cuts and agree to
major changes in work rules.
Since then Continental has
been slowing expanding its ser
vice, using non-striking flight
One striking pilot said rather
than work for Continental,
pilots are looking elsewhere for
work.
11 a.m.-9p.m. Mon.-Thurs
’Til 11 p.m. Fri. & Sat.
11:30-9 p.m. on Sun.
The pilots walked off the job
almost seven weeks ago, com
plaining the Continental man-
“We’re all looking for other
jobs,” said Ed O’Qumn, a strik
ing first officer who worked for
Continental for 15 years. “I
don’t think there is any future
for me with Continental.

Fugitive used foreign fronts bul
United Press International
BROWNSVILLE — Three
corporations located in Greece,
Costa Rica and Canada have
been used as fronts by fugitive
financier Robert Vesco in a two-
year effort to help Cuba mod
ernize its industry by importing
American technology in viola
tion of a U.S. embargo, a news
paper reported Thursday.
Vesco’s alleged presence in
Cuba was revealed by a federal
prosecutor in Brownsville last
week.
The Brownsville Herald, in a
eral sources as saying “the
Cuban government had built a
beachhouse for Vesco and at
least six other men — some said
implicated in the original $224
million mutual fund swindle of
IOS Ltd., a European-based
mutual fund firm.”
Vesco was president of IOS
and Milton F. Meissner. He is
reported to have been spotted
by a newspaper reporter at the
Varlovento Yacht Club near
Havana earlier this week. And
was mentioned in a Jan. 11,
1976, indictment charging a
co as a front to smi
$712,227.50 worth of sot
copyrighted story, quoted fed- conspiracy to misappropriate
$224 million.
The Herald also reported
that authorities in Chicago were
moving to seize crates of electro
nic components owned by Im-
bagua S.A., a Costa Rican cor
poration allegedly used by Ves-
uggle
Dpnisti-
cated sugar refining macninery
out of the country.
U.S. Customs seized the sugar
mill equipment at the nearby
Valley International Airport at
Harlingen on July 7 and three
men allegedly linked to Vesco
were arrested.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack
Wolfe charged at the trial last
week, outside the hearing of the
jury, that a Vesco associate
arranged the $50,000 cash
bonds for the three men.
Wolfe has been out of the city
this week and was reported in
Talahassee, Fla., in conjunction
with an investigation of the case.
