Student Con Man Lived High (CPS)—who is Bernard John Chubet 111 and how did he fleece us out of nearly $1300? That is the question several people around Princeton University are asking themselves these days after the discovery tht days after the discovery that the mysterious Chubet is not a Princeton student as he said and that the bills he ran up at two posh campus clubs might never be paid. It seems Chubet, 22, waltzed into Princeton’s exclusive Tower Club last fall clad in the traditional Ivy League duds and throwing around tales of his house in Greenwich and his sporty Alfa Romeo car. And even though he borrowed a lot of money and sometimes mis spelled his own name, everybody bought his story. “You just wanted to believe him, he was so sincere,” said Tower Club member William Lee. “He was very controvesial, very reasonable. You name it, he was it.” The Cloister Inn, where Chubet hung his Brooks Brothers suits at night, allowed him to pile up a $4OO rent bill. Charges have been pressed against Chubet and he faces a maximum penalty of $lOOO and three years in jail for obtaining services under false pretenses. By all accounts, Chubet was a true pro. “He had his act down pat,” observed Tower Club member Lee. C.C. Rqfder Most employers think twice about hiring people with criminal records. Phone fraud will result in a criminal record.
