Forever in debt
to stay in line with ever-increasing automobile prices, The National
Bank & Trust Co. of Ann Arbor announced Friday a long-term solution
to help ease the car purchasing pinch - five-year car loans. The move,
one of the first of its kind in the cpunrty, comes at a time when lending
institutions are moving away from the traditional three-year car loan.
Bank officials believe the 60-month loans will make car buying easier
because car prices have made monthly payments on shorter term
loans too expensive. Even though the 60-month loans mean lower mon-
thly payments, there's one little catch - consumers will have to pay
higher interest rates. It just goes to show - it's always something.
Happy landing
Things have a way of falling into Dan Scott's life. Take last Thur-
sday, for example. Scott was watching television in his home near
Jackson when a neighbor informed him that a large object has just
fallen out of the sky and smashed Scott's fence. The 64-year-old Scott
went out into his yard and found a three-foot square steel aircraft door
on top of his crushed picket fence. The door belonged to a Lockheed
aircraft owned by Fleming International Airlines, a cargo service
based at Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti. According to reports, the
aircraft was climbing to its cruising altitude when the door popped off.
The plane made it safely back to Willow Run and after Scott notified
police, the door was soon in a taxi cab heading back to the airport. Of-
ficiols said it was fortunate that only Scott's fence was damaged. If the
door landed three miles west, it would have landed plunged in down-
town Jackson . . . or 35 miles east - downtown Ann Arbor.

On Feb. 4, 1969, plans were announced to make Phi Epsilon Pi the
first co-ed fraternity on campus. Michael Jacobson, then president of
the frat, said he was inspired by a similar experiment at Stanford
University. "In the co-ed dormitories a close relationship, not
necessarily a dating situation, develops between men and women,"
Jacobsomi said. He said his frat would serve as a logical extension of
that relationship which is spawned in the dorms.

NO TAX SUPPOR T
Panel OKs test tube fertilization
WASHINGTON (AP) - A gover-
nment panel agreed informally yester-
day it has no ethical objections to the
technique aimed at helping infertile
couples have a baby, but failed to
decide whether taxpayers' money
should be used to help fund test tube
baby research.
A 13-member HEW Ethics Advisory
Panel stumbled in efforts to define
whether the government ought to play a
role in financing such research, par-
ticularly when human eggs fertilized in
a laboratory are discarded instead of
being implanted in a mother's womb.
THE PANEL had planned to make its
final recommendation to Health;
Education and Welfare Secretary
Joseph Califano Jr. Instead, its staff
was ordered to redraft a resolution on
the ethics of the research question. It
will try once more to decide the issue at
a meeting scheduled here March 16.
None of the members of the panel
seemed to object to the lab fertilization
of an egg taken from a mother, fer-
tilized with male sperm in vitro, Latin
for "in a glass dish," and transferred
back to her womb several days later.
That is how two British doctors, Patrick
Steptoe and Robert Edwards, have
achieved two live births since July. A
third live birth by a different test tube
technique was achieved in India.
But two other test tube babies died
during pregnancy, one with a
chromosome abnormality. Some panel
members expresed concern about put-
ting the government in a position of en-
dorsing clinical trials with infertile
couples without knowing all the risks.
THE ADVISORY panel includes doc-
tors, a lawyer, a businessman and a
priest.
The Rev. Richard McCormick, a
leading Catholic moral theologian, said
"some measure of experimentation"
with embryos in a lab is acceptable in
order' to perfect the still uncertain
technique of .transferring them to a
mother's womb, and to resolve safety
questions.
But the Georgetown University
professor said he objects "to bringing
embryos into existence just to look at
them to find new cancel cures or
methods of contraception."
"WE'RE DEALING with a very
fragile concept of respect for life," he
added.
But other panel members em-
phasized that the research will go on
with or without federal funds or ap-
proval because there are more than a
half-million couples desperate to have a
baby, but unable to, becausedthe
woman's fallopian tubes are blocked.
James Gaither, a San Francisco at-
torney who presides over the panel's
proceedings, said it was inevitable that
obstetricians would try to use the test
tube technique. He said "significant
clinics appear to be on the horizon."
DANIEL TOSTESON, dean of the
Harvard Medical School, warned, "if
we declare that work ethically out of
bounds now, we will drive infertile
couples to the situation where they will
be exploited."
Since 1974, HEW has had a de facto
moratorium on funding test tube baby
research. Contrary to what it called a
general impression, the panel's staff
said there was actually no current
prohibition against an institution con-
ducting the research without federal
funds, even if it gets government
money for other purposes.
Gaither told reporters he thought most
panel members do not object to funding
in vitro research with strict limits.
Tosteson, who prodded fellow panel
members to reach a compromise
position, said he was not disappointed
with the.one-month delay.
"A remarkable degree of consensus
has been arrived at. . . it's a group
genuinely grappling with one of the
profound issues of our time."
Mistrial declared
in Rep. Flood case
.
nrTrn nr i+r w er un _ _-_
P'ETIER I3OGDANOVICH S
WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal
judge declared a mistrial in the bribery
and perjury trial of Rep. Daniel Flood
after a jury declared yesterday it could
not reach agreement on any of 11 counts
against the veteran Pennslyvania
Democrat. It is unclear whether the
Justice Department will seek a new
trial.
U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch
repeatedly pressed the jury of eight
men and four women to try to reach at
least a partial verdict on guilt or in-
nocence.
But after nearly three days of
deliberations, jury foreman Daniel
Robinson told the judge at mid-
afternoon that it was virtually "im-
possible" for the panel to reach a ver-
dict on any of the counts. Within
moments, Gasch reluctantly declared a
mistrial.
F -0 s), THE 76-year-old actor-tur-
ned-congressman, had been standing
trial for nearly three weeks on charges
that he engaged in a six year scheme in
which he traded his vast political in-
fluence on Capitol Hill for at least
$50,000 in cash and 100 shares of bank
stock.
Flood, showing very little emotion,
never took the witness stand in his own
defense.
The case went to the jury nearly three
days earlier. The jurors were sum-
moned back into the courtroom shortly
after 3 p.m., EST yesterday and were
asked by the judge whether it appeared
likely that they could reach a verdict.
"Your honor," Robinson replied, "I
am sorry to say at this time it is im-
possible to reach a verdict."
GASCII INQUIRED WHETHER
"there might be a different climate if
we recess at this time and resume on
Monday."
The jurors again returned to their
room but soon sent a note advising the
judge that further deliberation would
be futile.
Gasch brought them back and asked
anew whethey they has reached a ver-
dict, one way or another.
"We have not," the foreman an-
swered.
1971
At this point, the judge said. "I am'
reluctantly declaring a mistrial."
EARLIER, GASCH asked the
deadlocked jurors to change their
opinion "if convinced it is erroneous"
and reminded them that they "are not
partisans but . . judges of the fact."
Gasch said their decision must be based
solely on the evidence.
"do not surrender your honest con-
victions . . . because of the opinion of
your fellow jurors, or for the mere pur-
pose of returning a verdict." Gasch
admonished the panel at midday.
"Each of you must decide the case for
yourself, but do so only after an impar-
tial consideration of the evidence with
your fellow jurors," Gasch said. "In the
course of your deliberations, do not
hesitate to re-examine your own views
and change your opinion if convinced it
is erronious."
Flood,who has represented a coal
rich district in northeastern Pen-
nsylvania for 3 years, is charged with
one count of conspiracy, seven counts of
bribery and three of perjury in an
alleged six year scheme to sell his in-
fluence. Specifically, Flood is accused
of accepting bribes between 1970-76 of
more than $5,000 in cash and 100 shares
of bank stock.
Flood showed no emotion as his
lawyers protested the judge's instruc-
tions to the jury. On three occasions,
Gasch had brought the jurors back into
the court room and directed them to try
to reach "a partial verdict, on any one
count, either way, guilty or not guilty.

THE LAST PICTURE SHOW
The.film that made the reputation Bogdanovich has since lost. The story of a
young man's painful growth in a small west Texas town. Austerely rendered in
black and white, using a conservative camera style, this film is both an exam-
intion of our nostalgia for a past innocence and a critique of the constrictions it
places on us. Pauline Kael proclaimed it a film that even then-President Nixon
would like and later Nixon admitted to Bogdanovich, that, yes, he did. Def-
initely a modern classic with JEFF BRIDGES, TIMOTHY BOTTOMS, CYBIL
SHEPPARD, BEN JOHNSON and CLORIS LEACHMAN in Oscar-winning roles.

William Wolf, Cue Magazine
"Its quality lies not just in the fact that it gives us the most intelligent, telling
cinematic look to date at the homosexual experience in America, but, beyond
that, it is quite funny and speaks not only to the homosexual, but to all of us who
have experienced the pain of being different; which is to say, all of us."
