The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Wednesday, February 21, 2007 - 7A WAR From page IA University President Mary Sue Coleman and University Regent Julia Darlow attended the lecture, which was pre- sented by the Ross School of Business. Len Middleton, a Business School professor who attend- ed the lecture, said Salbi's sto- ries of women helping other women in war-torn nations were powerful and not some- thing that women in Ann Arbor deal with every day. "It touches them in a spe- cial way," he said. Salbi grew up in Iraq dur- ing the 1980s under Saddam Hussein's regime. Her father was Hussein's personal pilot, and she said her family was part of the Iraqi elite. Salbi said because her fam- ily knew Hussein up close, he took over their lives. "We were like jesters in a palace," she said. "We were so afraid of talking." She said that being close to Saddam was like being close to the devil. It was her mother who first pushed Salbi to leave Iraq when she was a teenager. Salbi described her moth- er as a "strong woman" who wouldn't even let her learn to cook or clean so that a man wouldn't expect that of her. But it was her mother who begged Salbi to accept an arranged marriage proposal from an Iraqi-American liv- ing in Chicago. Salbi begrudgingly left Iraq at the age of 20 and married an American she had never met. Three months later, she fled her husband, but decided not to tell anyone back home about her failed marriage. Salbi wanted to return to Iraq, but the outbreak of the first Gulf War in 1991 made it impossible, so she went to George Mason University. Learning about what she called the "holocaust" in Iraq and Bosnia, she became appalled. "I knew what it felt like to hear missiles falling on my neighborhood," Salbi said. She felt an obligation to reach out, and with her new husband she founded Women for Women International when she was only 23. The organization supports women in war zones by find- ing monetary and emotional sponsors for the women, cre- ating social networks, educat- ing the women and helping them find jobs. In her lecture, Salbi said women are often-overlooked casualties of war. So much emphasis is placed on the front lines of a war, Salbi said, but violence often starts with women. Salbi described howwomen are often the victims of esca- lating rape and domestic vio- lence during war. She told stories of rape, kidnappings and assassina- tions of women who are often merely struggling to feed their families. She told of a woman wait- ing in line for food and water, watchingsnipers shoot others in the line around her. But the woman stayed put - she had no choice but to provide her family with the necessities. "We don't talk about the fear that comes with war," Salbi said. She went on to describe how women are forgotten during peace negations,which SPRING BREAK From page lA ed a reminder about Ann Arbor's snow emergency regulations. If a snow emer- gency is declared, parking is only allowed on alternat- ing sides of the street each day so the city can clear the snow. Cars left on the wrong side of the street are subject to towing. Weather forecasts for Ann Arbor for early next week include a chance of snow. is why she said it is important for an increase in prominent female political leaders like Hillary Clinton and Condo- leezza Rice. She said that although people often question why women support religious fun- damentalism, it's the religious fundamentalists who are reaching out to help them in exchange for support. Women have no choice, she said. "Peace is interpreted as 'How is my life going to improve?' " Salbi said, adding that the United States needs to take a step back and address issues in Iraq like food and water. After the speech, Business School Dean Robert J. Dolan presented Salbi with a plaque recognizing her humanitar- ian efforts amid standing ova- tion. AVE MARIA From page IA aled. Many Ave Marialawschool faculty had resisted the move to Florida.

ABRAM From page IA Department pulled him over on Interstate 96 between Wil- liamsburg and Webberville. The senior was at practice on Monday, but no decision has been released as to his sta- tus for tonight's game against the unranked Illini. "We have discussed the sit- uation with Lester, and he is clearly disappointed." Michi- gan coach Tommy Amaker said in a written statement. "He has taken full respon- sibility and will continue to follow the appropriate steps to rectify the situation. As always, I will use this as a teaching moment. From this point forward, we consider this to be an internal mat- ter." Abram was issued a bench warrant for failing to appear in court in regards to a Sep- tember incident when he was charged with speeding and driving while his license was suspended, the Detroit Free Press reported. He will be arraigned in Ann Arbor District Court at 8:30 a.m. on March 5, the Free Press reported. The third-year captain is averaging a career-low 9.3 points per game this season. If he doesn't make the trip for tonight's game or doesn't start, junior Ron Coleman is a likely candidate to replace him.. During last night's Wis- consin-Michigan State game, ESPN announcer Brent Mus- berger said Abram will play tonight but didn't attribute the information to a source.
