Con artist
to repay
*students
bySll ey Morson
A Detroit woman arrested for
selling false magazine subscriptions
to at least five University students in
1992 has been ordered to grant each
a full refund.
Judge Elizabeth Pollard ruled on
the case early this week.
*Lisa Foster pleaded guilty to
bartered misdemeanor charges of
obtaining less than $100 under false
-'pretenses in 15th District Court
Tuesday.
*The original charge for the esti-
mated $160 of stolen funds was
fraudulent activities - considered a
felony. Foster will be sentenced un-
der this felony if she does not pay
restitution by the sentencing date,

Foster's scam when they received
*similar reports of false magazine
'sales from at least five University
*students. All counts were collabo-
rated by canceled checks in Foster's
name.
DPS Director of Investigations
Lt. James Smiley said similar reports
from other university police depart-
'ments linked Foster to the crimes.'
Foster was arrested in February
*when a joint investigation and a trail
of canceled checks led police to Ford
Community College in Dearborn.
Perel touches audience
with moving life story
r

by Sarah Gordon
With Solomon Perel's first
word, "Shalom," University stu-
dents were mesmerized by his
melodic voice and slow, gentle
words. The mood of his lecture
hushed the chaotic crowd. Audi-
ence members relied on his mov-
ing tones to understand the mean-
ing of his speech.
Perel delivered his speech en-
tirely in Hebrew. An English inter-
preter translated his words.
Perel - the subject of the
Golden Globe Award-winning
film "Europa, Europa" - gave the
keynote address for the Hillel
Foundation's 14th Annual Confer-
ence on the Holocaust.
He told of his birth to Polish-
Jewish parents on April 20, 1925,
in Peine, Germany. In 1938,, his
family relocated to Lodz, Poland.
Eventually, Perel was separated
from his family and was forced to
pose as a German soldier in order
to save his own life.
Perel said he was sustained by
his mother's parting words to him:
"Shlomo, you must live."
Last night he expressed that he
is still haunted by his childhood.
"I will not describe here the
heart-wrenching separation from
my parents," Perel said.
Perel calmly described the mo-
ment when he decided to deny his
Judaism and claim to be a German
in order to save his life.
"The distance between life and
death was like a hair's breath," he
said.
He went on to explain that at
that second, he created a defense
mechanism within himself so that
even he would believe he was
German.
"These same internal mecha-
nisms that were my defense
showed me that if I wanted to sur-
vive I needed to fully incorporate
myself into the world into which I
was thrown," Perel said.
He later explained the German
theory of race - which he was
forced to study intensely for three
years - to the audience members,
targeting the youth in the crowd.
"I saw that in this system of
education, the path from a man to
a monster is indeed very short -
no longer than the finger that pulls
the trigger of an automatic rifle.
But the path back is longer than
eternity. This is what all youth
around the world need to know."

Daily photo helps student retrieve stolen bicycle
by Will McCahill
Daily Crime Reporter"
When he picked up a copy of the Daily last
Friday, Engineering sophomore Jeff White ex-
pected to find a little news, a weather forecast,
some movie reviews and a controversial
editorial.
He did not expect to find his stolen bicycle.
However, White gave the paper a second
glance after his roommate pointed out a bicy-
cle hanging from the South Quad sign in a
front-page photograph. He saw the bicycle had
a loose chain.
"I could clearly tell from the picture that it
was my bike," he said.
He immediately left his apartment and ran
to South Quad, hoping the bicycle would still
be there - suspended in mid-air by a nameless
thief.
The bike was still there, and White was able
to retrieve the bike, which was almost un-
harmed. He said the front wheel was a little
bent, but it could easily be fixed. In any case,
he said, it would be cheaper than buying a new
bike.
White said the bike was stolen from his
apartment more than two months ago, and he
had almost given up hope of finding it again.
He had originally taken the bike from a junk-
yard, and had never registered it with police,
he said.
Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD)
Community Services Officer Corey Mills said
White is among a very small number of lucky
people whose stolen bikes - registered or un-
registered - are ever recovered.
"There is a severe problem with stolen
bikes in this city," Mills said.
AAPD and the University Department of
Public Safety (DPS) both encourage students
to register their bikes with police - or at least
to keep track of the bike's serial number,
which can also help police recover the missing
vehicles.
DPS Lt. James Smiley said most people
only report stolen bicycles to police in ordetto
be reimbursed by their insurance companies.
Many insurance companies include bicycles in
homeowner insurance policies.
Mills agreed, and said eight out of every 10
stolen bicycle reports filed with AAPD are fbr
insurance purposes.
Smiley said bicycles are often stolen by
homeless people, who then sell them af whet-
ever price they can.

Serbs halt
U.N. relief
convoys to
refuees
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-
Herzegovina (AP) - Serbs
blocked vital U.N. convoys to des-
perate Srebrenica and two other
Muslim enclaves yesterday, and
subjected Sarajevo to one of the
worst assaults of the Bosnian war.
Intense artillery fire hit central
Sarajevo and continued for a
second day in suburbs around the
airport, providing a grim welcome
for Gen. Lars Erik Wahlgren, the
new U.N. commander in former
Yugoslavia.
Under U.N. pressure, Bosnian
Serbs allowed three blocked aid
convoys into Bosnia Wednesday
and yesterday. They then stopped
all three, signaling they were
determined to cement their hold
over much of eastern Bosnia
regardless of international
criticism and peace talks in New
York.
"The main message from here
is that someone has to stop the
Serbs from advancing," said Larry
Hollingworth, a U.N. refugee
official, by ham radio from
Srebrenica. "Like some evil
Jabberwocky, they must be

Polje yesterday. Heavy fighting for the narrow land corridors linking
Serbian-held territory and Yugoslavia intensified in the area of Broko.
stopped."
In a French TV interview re-
layed to Zagreb by ham radio
operators, Gen. Philippe Morillon,
the U.N. commander in Bosnia,
said the stalled Srebrenica convoy
should arrive today.
"It has been agreed for the con-
voy to be tomorrow at 8 a.m. on
the demarcation line and at 8:30 it
should enter Srebrenica," Morillon
was quoted as saying.
No aid has reached Srebrenica
by land since Dec. 10. Many of
the refugees are living in the opens
without warm clothing, and guir
and knife fights that have erupted
in scrambles for airdropped U.S.
food reportedly killed four people
Wednesday.
Bosnia's U.N. ambassador
accused four Serbian planes of
bombing villages near Srebrenica
on Wednesday night, even as the
U.N. Security Council was con-4
demning a bombing raid four days
earlier.
