Wharton junior Oleg Genshaft said he was leaving his apartment with a friend to go to the African Rhythms show at the Annenberg Center when he was approached by a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun equipped with a silencer. The perpetrator, whom Genshaft described as 5'7" and wearing a leather jacket, put a gun to Genshaft's back and demanded money. Genshaft said he gave the robber $90 in cash and a "bunch of credit cards." The man then fled the scene in a car driven by another man. University Police officials were not available for comment yesterday. -- Scott Lanman
