q Page 2 - The Michigan Daily --Sunday, June 3, 1984 Achievement awards honor active students By MICHELLE BEIZAI While most University students spend the bulk of their time working, studying and partying, those who choose to contribute time and effort to University activities are honored at an annual awards program. The Student Achievement Awards, presented by the University's Office of Student Services, the Michigan League, and the Comprehensive Studies Program, recognize student efforts "which increase the diversity and enhance the richness of the student experience and life on campus or which benefit the greater community beyond the University," according to its sponsors. THIS YEAR'S ceremony was held in the Michigan Union Ballroom, the first time it has been held there. 63 individuals and ten groups were honored, the largest group ever to be recognized by the selection committee. According to Marion Evashevski, coordinator of the 1984 Achievement Awards, the selection committee this year "felt that on a campus of 35,000 there were more than ten that deserve to be recognized." Of the groups nominated, seventeen individuals and three groups were singled out as recipients of the award. THE SELECTION of winners was "as objective as it could be this year," said Evashevski. "There were no names (on the entry forms) - it was based on a numerical rating system. There was no open debate as to who was worthy and who wasn't. It's as fair, as objective, as it could be, I think." Nominations for the awards were submitted by faculty members, student groups and individuals. The nominations were reviewed by a committee that had been appointed by Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson. "I like challenging myself with new things and different things," said award winner Michael Perigo, honored for his service as student coordinator for the University's Business Internship Program, peer counseling, serving as an orientation leader and a resident adviser. "I STILL have time for a social life," said Perigo, a fifth-year senior in LSA. "I've just gotten better at budgeting my time." "I'm not satisfied with being average," said award winner Angela Deaver, a four year University gymnast, orientation leader, volunteer for a minority freshmen recruitment program, and member of the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics. "I like to be of help to people," said Deaver. "People are a source of energy. for me."

Pearson found guilty of Faber shooting (Continued from Page 1) The jury had submitted a written request during its deliberations early Friday to hear the taped statement again. Defense attorney Donald Ferris said he was "disappointed" with the jury's verdict. "I don't think she meant to shoot (Faber)," he said. "I don't think the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that (Pear- son) intended to shoot the gun," said Ferris. Ferris said he intends to file an appeal after the sentencing. Ferris was visably depressed, but said there was nothing he would have done differently in arguing Pearson's defense. "It was a big case in Ann Arbor, and wouldn't have been a big case if Mrs. Faber hadn't been Mrs. Faber," Ferris 'It was a big case in Ann Arbor, and wouldn't have been a big case if Mrs. Faber hadn't been Mrs. Faber.' - Donald Ferris defense attorney said.

Pearson claimed Ricardo Hart, her boyfriend of three years, forced her to rob Faber and provided the gun. Hart, 20, goes to trial Monday on identical charges. On Nov. 22 Pearson approaced Faber in the parking lot of the Krogers store on Plymouth Rd. where Faber allegedly agreed to give her a ride. In her testimony, Pearson said the .38 caliber revolver "just went off" discharging a bullet into Faber's neck. Faber, never regained consciousness and died three days later.
