Page 2 -= The Michigan Daily - Saturday, November 5, 1983 Students convicted i test scam Looking for a way to make up for the lousy grades you got on your midterm? Two former University of Texas students can recommend the wrong way to study for finals. Gregory Wallace and Harry Fouke were convicted and sentenced last week for attempting to steal final exams from Prof. Robert Witt of the Univer- sity of Texas Department of Marketing. w.. District Court Judge Jon Wisser sen- tenced the two to five years' probation after they confessed to the burglary. The pair had been offered $100 for a ,marketing final and $400 for a finance final by university student James Brown, who received immunity from 'prosecution for agreeing to testify against Wallace and Fouke. C .O L.L.. rq a::c3,:xp:;:: ..;.':..::;.; ;>;-...S.. ":f University police caught Wallace and .Fauke breaking into Witt's office last December. The exam thieves had used duplicate keys to unlock the office door and the file cabinet where the finals were kept. The university has suspended 23 students for one year for their par- ticipation in the theft. Assistant District Attorney Ben Florey said that the exam thefts may be related to a string of thefts at the unive sity and at several other colleges. He would not say which colleges were involved or how many students are part of the ring. -The Daily Texan Texas A & M hero admits to lying Suffering from a slightly bruised ego, A Texas A & M student faces possible expulsion from the school's prestigious Corps of Cadets for lying about an aborted act of heroism. Clarence Brown, a sargeant in the university's military program and a member of the crime-fighting Guardian Angels, told his rrommate last month that he spotted a woman being attacked by three men while he was jogging. Brown said he dashed to the woman's rescue, told her to flee, and suffered razor cuts on his face and arms while fending off the attackers. 1Ks 1 0 o AY ID' M Comm computer and local telephone lines to penetrate a defense department com- munications system. Tobert Austin of Santa Monica, Calif., was arrested last week for "tampering with very sensitive information" that will cost "hundreds of thousands of dollars" to reprogram or replace. By using local telephone lines and some little-used accounts, Austin not only gained access to computer net- works in private companies, including the Rand Corporation, but also used the UCLA system to brek into the Advan- ced Research Projects Agency Net- work, according to District Attorney Robert Philosobian. The network links computers storing data on various research projects through-out the United States and Europe. A UCLA computer system employee first suspected the break-in last July when he noticed someone had frequen- tly operated a computer with a seldom- used account. The universitynotified the FBI, who continued the in- vestigation. "Austin was a real mystery," said Thomas Turgend, a spokesman for the university's science and engineering departments. He said that Austin had tried to enter a popular introductory computer course this term, but was unable to get in because he has not declared his major. "The whole thing sounds too much like the movie Wargames, except that the fate of mankind wasn't hanging in the balance," Turgend said. "The ap- proach and evenathe techniquekand maybe the motivation sounds like it was taken right out of the movie." Although none of the research Austin tampered with was classified, he destroyed some valuable university research files and programs. "This case just shows it's not difficult to inter- fere in closed computer accounts," said a spokesman for the district attorney's office. Austin remains in custody at Los Angeles County Jail. Bail has been set at $10,000. He later told the same story to police and reporters, who lauded his heroic actions. But police and campus authorities suspected that Brown's report may have been a publicity stunt for the Guardian Angels. The real story came out when Brown flunked a polygraph test. Brown did see three men and a woman exchanging loud words, and he did run over to help the woman, according to Campus Police Supervisor Bob Wiatt. But he was immediately overpowered and beaten up for interfering in a private conversation. Brown said he embellished his story when he arrived back at his dorm and had to explain his injuries to his fellow corps members. "I switched a few things around. After taking a cut on my face, (the three men) pinned me to the ground and told me it was a private af- fair." The police have declined to press any charges against Brown, but the Corps of Cadets won't drop the case. "We never like to hear of anyone lying, especially if it's one of us," said Preston Abbot, commander of the cor- ps. Formerly a military school, Texas A & M now makes service in the corps voluntary for male students. "The cor- ps is an equivalent to the ROTC program at other universities," Wiatt said. At A & M it's a very elite organization, so the incident is a real slap in their faces." Brown will be judged by the corps' court and may be expelled from the group, Abbot said. He added that ex- pulsion from the corps would not mean expulsion from the university.

Li.,.:.. _.A ._., _... .... -IN BRIEF- Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Lebanon peace talks adjourned GENEVA, Switzerland - Leaders of Lebanon's warring factions adjour- ned their national reconciliation conference for 10 days yesterday to give President Amin Gemayel time to marshal support for renegotiating his troop withdrawal pact with Israel. The decision to adjourn the five days of unprecedented meetings Friday came as Israeli forces flew bombing raids over Syrian-backed positions in central Lebanon. The raids followed a truck-bomb attack on Israeli headquarters in southern Lebanon. Saeb Salam, former Sunni Moslem prime minister and one of the nine con- ference delegates, said news of the attack provided "a definite urge on the part of everyone to try their best" to solve the Lebanese crisis. During yesterday's session, delegates agreed to take steps to reinforce the Sept. 26 cease-fire agreement that ended the latest round of civil war and set up a commission to study reforming Lebanon's political system. Conference officials said the delegates would return to Geneva on Nov. 14 to consider the thorny troop withdrawal issue, which dominated the talks, and proposals to reform Lebanon's political, social and economic systems. Soviet sub stranded off U.S. coast WASHINGTON - A Soviet Salvage tug sped yesterday to the rescue of a Russian attack submarine that broke down in the Atlantic and was stranded on the surface off the U.S. coast - in plain view of American surveillance cameras. The U.S. destroyer Peterson, based in Pascagoula, Miss., moved into the vicinity of the stricken Victor III Class sub to monitor its activity and recon- naissance aircraft kept a round-the-clock watch on the late model boat,, Navy Lt.Cmdr. Mark Neuhard said. The 6,000-ton hunter-killer sub surfaced 470 miles off Charleston, S.C., and was spotted Wednesday by a P-3 Orion reconnaissance plane on routine patrol. The Navy said the sub's mission below the surface is to pinpoint the whereabouts of U.S. submarines armed with intercontinental-range nuclear missiles. The continuous surveillance of the boat, a Navy official said, "affords us the opportunity of documenting the operational activity of a front-line Soviet attack sub. German prof faces spy charges BOSTON - An East German charged with attempting to steal U.S. military secrets said yesterday he is merely a university professor, not, as the government claims, a "highly trained spy." Alfred Zehe, 44, was ordered held without bail after a federal prosecutor called him "a trained East\German espionage agent." "There are ac- cusements that I must reject. A highly trained spy? I am very sorry, I am a university professor." Zehe, who was led into the small courtroom in handcuffs, was not represented by an attorney. He said he would contact his embassy. "I hope they will help me," he said. The FBI alleges that Zehe contacted an American civilian employee of the U.S. Navy in Mexico City in October 1982 and requested secret documents dealing with military technology. The American civilian, who was not iden- tified, was cooperating with the FBI and the Naval Investigative Service. According to the complaint read in court Friday, Zehe paid the civilian a total of $11,500 after receiving information from him in Mexico City in April and May. The complaint also alleged Zehe received more information from the American during a meeting in East Berlin in July. Guerillas sack PLO stronghold TRIPOLI, Lebanon - Syrian-backed guerrilla mutineers rained rocket, artillery and tank fire on Yasser Arafat's last Mideast stronghold yesterday. Some 200 people have been killed in two days of fighting, hospitals reported. The embattled Palestine Liberation Organization chief vowed to fight "irrespective of the odds.' "We shall not bow to Syria. I shall bow my head only to God Almighty," Arafat told reporters at the Badfdawi refugee camp. Tripoli's governor, Iskandar Ghibril, said in a radio broadcast that hospitals were "saturated and can no longer cope with the influx of victims." The mutiny against Arafat is led by two PLO officials he once demoted - Nimr Salen and Col. Saeed Mousa. Both are supported by Syria, which ex- pelled Arafat in June on grounds he had abandoned the idea of military struggle against Israel in favor of negotiation. LA wages war against fruit fly HUNTINGTON PARK, Calif. - For the second time in 14 months, an air- borne war is being waged against an infestation of "superpest" fruit flies that could wreck Los Angeles County's $2.5 billion fresh fruit industry. Last year the enemy was the Mediterranean fruit fly. This time it's the Mexican fruit fly, which is making its first significant foray into California, officials say. So far the flies have been found only in backyard gardens, but there is concern that they may spread to commercial orchards. "It's a bad situation," the county's chief deputy agricultural com- missioner, John Manning, said yesterday. "We will feel more confident after we get our first treatment of malathion a pesticide on the ground." Aerial spraying was to start Friday night and continue through February over a 41-square-mile area encompassing a mostly residential and industrial area just south of Los Angeles. There has never before been a significant infestation of the Mexican fruit fly in California, country agricujtural commission Paul Engler said. However, he noted that there have been major infestations north of the Mexican border, particularly in Texas.

Three Israeli soldiers were rescued unhurt from the rubble, the command said. Many of the Israeli casualties were part of the paramilitary border police, a force made up in large part of Israeli Arabs, assigned to Israeli-occupied territories. THE DEATH toll was one of the highest from a single act of voilence against Israel since the founding of the Jewish state. Teh worst was the 1978 highway bus massacre in rwhich 35 Israelis and six Palestinian guerrillas died. Israel's defense minister, Moshe Arens, standing amid the ruins of the Tyre post, condemned the "murder in . broad daylight," blaming it on a "terrorist network" linked to Syria.
