Students suspects
in bank robbery
by JOHN CUTHBERTSON
LIFE Staff Writer
Two CMU students are among three people to be charged this
morning with the armed robbery of the Bank of Alma. Mount
Pleasant branch, which occurred at 8 a.m. Saturday.
Gregory Ray Cowles, Gaylord freshman, a former employee of the
bank, Jonathan Foster Roberts, Lathrup freshman, and Todd
Steven Avery, 17, of Southfield are the suspects in the robbery,
according to the Michigan State Police,
A state police officer said Cowles was contacted for questioning
when it was discovered Cowle's employment with the bank "was
terminated under unfriendly conditions." Barberi said the termination came Friday.
Cowles was found Saturday at his room in Troutman Hall and
questioned by state police and Les Bonstelle of the Department of
Public Safety. According to state police, during questioning Cowles
allegedly indicated two others allegedly were involved in the
robbery. Cowles was lodged in the Isabella County Jail.
Following his lodging a warrant for the other suspects was issued.
They were arrested later the same day at a wedding reception in
Pontiac, Barberi said.
State troopers recovered a substantial amount of money in a car
at the reception, as well as finding two B.B. pistols. Barberi said he
feels the weapons will probably be positively identified as the guns

Zionist, PLO member
debate Mideast issues
by SANDY PIIRA
LIFE Staff Writer

Liberation
Although
Palestine
Organization representative and
a self-proclaimed Zionist attempted to outshout each other,
the Zionist commented later to
the audience of international
officials and Student
Association members that the
discussion was on "totally
friendly" terms.
The debate occurred during
the UN Conference reception
last week when the audience
directed questions to Hassan
Rachman, deputy permanent
observer of the PLO to the UN,
and Eliazar Lipsky, New York
attorney and member of the
worldwide Zionist movement.
Lipsky said, "(Anwar) Sadat
proved dramatically on the
world stage that if peace is
possible, the Israeli population
is willing to accept it."
One of the myths that prevent
people from coming forward for
peace has disappeared, he said.
"There is a change of attitude
toward the Israelis which is not
expressed in the U.N.," he said.
Lipsky was referring to recent
trade agreements between
Israel and Jordan, and the
opening of Saudi Arabia borders
to Israeli Moslems desiring to
•travel across Saudi Arabia to
Mecca, holy Moslem city.
"The great concern of Israel
should be to get back to the
business of plain living and drop
the business of war," Lipsky
said.
"Civil and religious rights are
guaranteed in the covenant of
Israel," he added. "If Arabs have
a right to live in Israel, then
Jews have a right to live in
Israel."
Rachman     assured     the
audience    Palestinians    are
"Sadat proved
dramatically on the
world stage that if
peace is possible,
the Israeli population is willing to
accept it."—Eliazar
Lipsky, Zionist
interested in peace. But the
issue is not only religion, he said.
"The issue is one of basic,
inalienable human rights,"
Rachman said. "These rights are
not subject to negotiations.
They must be the basis of
negotiations.
"Non-Jews cannot have equal
rights (in Israel), even those who
are citizen's of Israel. Arabs are
not defined as full citizens. Jews
give them autonomy—culture
automony. Arabs have no
control over their lives except
on trivial issues. They have no
control over land.
"Any Jew who wants to
immigrate to Israel from
anywhere in the world can
become a full citizen. Any
Palestinian who is born in Israel
cannot."
Until 1980, he said, there was
no possibility for settlement.
"But the settlement has been
taken over by Israelis. Our
second   option   is , this—either
fade again and forget our
heritage, or total confrontation
with Israelis.
"The future of Palestine is the
most important issue in the
Middle East."
Lipsky said Menachem Begin
' spoke for the Zionist view when
he rejected internationalization
of Jerusalem. Holy places take
up little area, he said, adding the
religion question could be dealt
with."
He said other arrangements
could be made to help solve the
rest of the conflict. Lipsky
suggested two ways —either to
divide Israel into separately
controlled burroughs, such as in
New York City, or to recognize
the voting rights of non-citizens
who are taxpayers.
"The essential point is this,"
he said. "Arabs and Jews who
live together do very well,
outside of politics."
He said Israel right now is
obsessed with security. "When
the psychology changes, we can
make political changes. Until
then, we must stop putting oil on
the fire. We build autonomy.
Then we can go a step further,
and who knows, it may work out.
"Of course," he said, "this is
not considering that we may
have    a    blow-up    completely
unrelated to this question—and
I that blow-up would be in the
* Persian Gulf.
"Khomeini is casting a large
shadow," he said.
Rachman said Khomeini
should not be overlooked or
"brushed aside easily."
However, he did not think
Khomeini was casting a dark
shadow over the Middle East.
"This doesn't effect the life of
Palestinians," he said.
