United Press International HOUSTON — It’s cost $200,000 worth of security and an exodus of tenants, but Sun day the 270-unit Fieldstone Apartments went naked, the first apartment building in Houston to do so. Early returns indicated the apartments would not set a trend. Fieldstone management an nounced Jan. 18 it would con vert to “clothing optional” in side the complex, and insist on nudity in the pool area, sauna and hot tub. The complex has spent $200,000 on fences and screen ing, and another $4,000 in mov ing expenses for lease-holders who prefer not to bare all. For example, Jack Miller, 50, and his roommate Jim Moline, 57, moved out Saturday be cause they “just don’t believe in the nudist concept,” Miller said. “I was brought up with clothes on and didn’t like being told that if I went back there (to the swimming pool area) that I’d have to take my clothes off,” said Molina. Among those moving in were Warren Taylor, a 30-year-old University of Houston account ing student, and his 28-year-old wife, who wouldn’t identify her self beyond saying she was pic tured in the November 1983 is sue of Playboy magazine. “I like the idea of being free and getting a tan all over with out having bathing suit lines,” she said. The apartment manager, who asked not to be named, said most of the people who couldn’t handle the nude ar rangement have moved out. PRobUlVI PREqNANCy? We Can Help Investigators want to know why, when Italmobiliare repaid the loan in 1979, the repayment sum was 160 billion lire — more than three times the principal borrowed, the reports said. Pesenti maintains the loan carried a clause indexing repay ment to variations in the value of the Italian lira with respect to the Swiss franc. The franc’s value increased geometrically compared with the weaker lira over the seven years before repayment. Investigators suspect the clause was added after an origi nal deal was struck to cover up transfer of money from the company to Pesenti for other purposes with the help of the Vatican Bank, the reports said. The reports said Marcinkus, |62, of Cicero, Ill., and Vatican tank officials were under inves- Jgation for the suspected em- zzlement of the Italian real state company Italmobiliare. “We never comment on these ings, the facts speak for them- ilves,” said the Vatican spokes- an, the Rev. Romeo Panciroli. iarcinkus could not be reached for comment at his home or of fice in the Vatican. The news reports said Feni- zia was investigating a 50 billion [ire ($30 million) loan made by Institute for Religious iVorks, the formal name of the i skleoflj Vatican Bank, to Italmobiliare. The loan was signed by Mar- nkus and Carlo Pesenti, 76, president of Italmobiliare jnd its major shareholder with 5 percent. Pesenti also is under investigation. here are: MS. ercentoil n said, “I elf, no oi realize sease.Mi :ainadi| Terental er from iave a sei we' cl. iningout MSC OPAS Academy of St. Martin In the Field Octet April 11 Rudder Auditorium Tickets: MSC Box Office 845-1234 Free Pregnancy Testing Personal Counseling Pregnancy Terminations Completely Confidential Call Us ^irst - We Care (713) 774-9706 6420 Hillcroft, Houston, Texas AY ECIAL I Steak ravy «es and other ATTENTION BEER DRINKERS: THERE WILL BE 15 KEGS GIVEN AWAY AS PRIZES TO THE GROUPS THAT DONATE THE MOST BLOOD DURING THE AGGIE BLOOD DRIVE.
