I have always carried a hatred for that fat bastard Marvin Pomerantz. may he rot in hell. He somehow found himself at the top of the Iowa Board of Regents when I was in college. He fought like hell to make ISU a DII or DIII school arguing that the state couldn't finance two State Universities. He even once publicly referenced ISU as the Womens School of something or the other. Found this in the archives:
The following month the committee questioned Jimmy Hoffa in Washington about Fratto. Hoffa admitted that he knew Fratto and that he had negotiated a few union contracts with him, but denied they were friends. The committee questioned Hoffa extensively about the Teamsters' efforts to move in on the Midwest Burlap Bag Co. of Des Moines to take members away from the Textile Workers Union. The committee had earlier accused Fratto of serving as an advisor to Marvin Pomerantz in the case. While Fratto took the Fifth to the questions put before him then, records provided by the government showed telephone calls made between Fratto, Richard Kavner, an organizer for the Teamsters, Teamster officials, and to the Midwest Burlap Bag firm.
So those who don't know The Syndicate out of Chicago placed this Fratto punk in DSM as a hub. Straight up gangster. BTW... They hid their mafia roots by changing their name to Farrell. I think you may have heard that name.
