The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 19, 1993 - Page 3 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, MDarteto ubli dSafety 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 r r t 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." t S f r # a k } 1 F t F 7 # i Solomon Perel speaks about his life as depicted in the film "Europa, Europa." This was part of Hillel's weeklong Holocaust commemoration. 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. Friday Q African American and the Mov- ies,final day of exhibitMichigan Union Art Lounge.

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 AP PHOTO Heavily armed Serbian soldiers head for the front lines from Matic 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. t p~ T IIE MICHIGAN DAILY GEI THE FAC'TS GET THE DAI LY GET TI-IE FACTS 76-05 GET THE DAILYfr GET T HE FACTS r GET'IE DAILY f GET TIlHE FACTS GET THE DAILY NEWS .SPORTS"ARTS OPINION & PHOTO KOREAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION presents a KOREAN CUL TURAL ARTS FESTIVAL Sunday, March 21 Michigan Union - . i A A 5TH AVE.
