Streetcar named desire
Ann Arbor's proposed downtown trolley, which failed to make
tracks on the downtown streets, will soon be clanging along Detroit's
trolley route near the Renaissance Center. The trolley was purchased
by the Ann Arbor Street Railway and Museum group five years ago,
but after several clashes with city council, the group finally sold the
trolley to the city of Detroit last November. The double-ended 80-year-
old street car was supposed to follow a trolley line along Liberty
Street, from State Street to Main Street. Local trolley supporters now
hope to see the trolley car running in Detroit by the end of the year.
No toga like the real toga
Television networks are notorious for riding on the coattails of
popular movies, but it looks like toga-tails are providing a rough ride.
CBS canned "Co-ed Fever," it's answer to the remarkably successful
"Animal House," before it ever really entered the television schedule.
A special preview of the sitcom ranked 19th in the Nielsen ratings last
week, but CBS executive confidence was shaken by the lack of respon-
se to NBC'S "Brothers and Sisters" and ABC's declining "Delta
House," two other counterfeit "Animal Houses." Well, that's one
down, two toga.
Take ten
A proposal to require all students under 21 to live in University-ap-
proved housing met with strong disapproyal on Feb. 10, 1969 from the
student operating committee of the student Affairs Office. At the time
only junior vomen who lived outside the dorms had to live in housing
registered by the University. To be registered, landlords had to meet
five criteria set by the University, including use of a University ap-
proved lease. One member of the student committee called the move
"unnecessarily paternalistic."

For art's sake
The fate of the traveling Soviet art exhibit remains a mystery. The
exhibit was cancelled at the University's Russian Arts Festival this
week after the Soviets learned that dissident poet Josef Brodsky was
to be included in the festival program. The exhibit may appear at Ohio
State University, but the decision, which should be made sometime
next week, rests with Moscow honchos, according to an OSU
spokesman.

Writing on the walls
Harvard University has decided to soften the blow of a $450 tuition
hike by providing all dormitory residents with free toilet paper.
Currently, only freshpersons and residents of theRadcliffe Quadrangle
were squeezing the Charmin gratis. Assistant Dean Anne Spence told
the Harvard Crimson, Harvard's daily newspaper, that the ad-
ministration decision was "just a matter of sitting down and looking
at the figures." Despite the free TP, a year's tuition at Harvard next
year will be a low $5,300.

Infant deaths linked to milk
By JOE VARGO
Every day, thousands of infants in
developing nations are dying because
they are fed. contaminated baby for-
mula sold by American corporations,
according to Doug Johnson, president
of the Infant Formula Action Coalition
(INFACT).
Johnson spoke this week to 20 people
at the United Methodist Church.
"AS MANY as 10 million infants in
Third World and developing countries
are suffering severe diarrhea and
malnutrition as a direct result of being
fed contaminated bottled baby for-
mula," he said. In one year in Panama
alone, he added, 32,000 infants died.
According to Johnson, the formula is
relatively safe when used under certain
conditions. These conditions, he said,
include clean water, access to fuel to
sterilize the water and money to buy the
proper amount of the infant formula.
Most developing countries, he said,
cannot meet these requirements.
"In most Third World countries, the
structure doesn't exist for most poor
people to use the formula safely," he
said.
WHEN THE formula is used in un-
sanitary conditions, Johnson said, it
becomes contaminated. The baby bot-
tle becomes a breeding ground for bac-
teria, which are ingested by the nursing
infant. These bacteria ca'use ' severe
diarrhea, which in turn, causes vital
nutrients to leave the body.
Dehydration sets in, and if left un-
treated, death follows.
In addition to being harmful, the ar-
tificial formula is expensive - far too
costly for most people in developing
countries, Johnson said. To make the
formula last longer, mothers dilute the
formula until it is so weak that "babies
are drinking nothing but white-colored
water," he said.
The formula is popular in developing
countries, Johnson said, because
American corporations have sold the
idea that "anything from the West is
best."
"MOTHERS ARE sold the idea that
artificial infant formula is superior to
mothers' milk," said Johnson. "This is
complete nonsense. Mother's milk is
relatively cheap (it costs only one-tenth
as much to feed the mothers a proper
diet as it does to buy the proper amoun-
ts of artificial formula), properly
balanced with nutrients, sterilized, and
always available." Johnson added,
"Mothers' milk provides the infants
with anti-bodies that are a natural
.protection against disease."
Nestles is the worst offender in the
advertising campaign, Johnson said.
"Nestle's has remolded the medical
profession (in developing countries) so
that they now support the artificial milk
program," he said. "In the Dominican
Republic, they have done this by giving
kickbacks to the medical profession for
doctor's pensions. In other countries,
they have bribed doctors and their
wives and instituted a program of
giving away thousands of free sam-
ples.''
TO COMBAT the advertising of
Nestles and other giant corporations,
INFACT was formed, Johnson said.
Beginning in January, 1977, with four
local chapters, it has grown to more
than 300 chapters.
INFACT members began by'writing
letters explaining Nestles' and other
corporations' advertising policies to
key senators like Ted Kennedy (D-
Mass.), and Sen. Frank Church (D-
Idaho). Spurred to action by the large
volumes of letters, Johnson said, the
two senators called for public hearings.
As a result of the hearings, a forth-
coming bill to prohibit infant formula
sales by U.S. companies in certain
developing countries has been drawn
up in the House of Representatives,
Johnson said.
In addition, Johnson noted, INFACT
last year called for a boycott against all
Nestles products. The boycott has been
so successful that Nestle has called for
a World Health Organization (WHO)
conference in October to discuss the
problem of artificial infant formula in
developing countries, Johnson said.
"The boycott is having an economic
effect," Johnson said. "Nestles is losing
money. We didn't expect that for at
least ten years."
Johnson sees next year's conference
as a time when major corporations
must be educated about the effects ar-
tificial infant formula is having on
Third World countries.
"The companies must know the
serious nature of the problem," he said.
"Everyone else <knows. It must be in-
corporated into their mentalities. We
must get the infant formula companies
to quit killing babies."

Local cop held in teenage rapes
By KEVIN ROSEBOROUGH
A 28-year-old Ann Arbor police
patrolman was arrested and arraigned
in 15th District Court yesterday on two
counts of first degree criminal sexual
conduct.
Police Chief Walter Krasny said
Patrolman Steven Foster was taken in-
to custody just before noon, following a
two-week investigation of an incident
involving the raping of two young girls
in July, 1975. Krasny said the' girls, 14-
and 16-years-old at the time, reported
the rapes to police two weeks ago. He
declined to disclose the reason for the
delay in the filing of the criminal com-
plaint.
ACCORDING TO Krasny, the girls
reported that Foster met them while on
duty and offered to drive them home.
The two girls claim they were driven to
Foster's Ann Arbor home, where both
of them were raped.
"We examined the evidence and con-
ducted an investigation following the
reporting of the crimes," said Krasny.
"We then made a presentation to the
Prosecutor's office and received
authorization to arrest him (Foster).'.
Krasny said Foster is currently
married, but believed Foster was
separated or divorced at the time the
incident reportedly took place.
PROSECUTING Attorney William
Delhey said he met with the AAPD of-
ficials Thursday and discussed the fac-
ts surrounding the incident. "We found
the evidence to be sufficient to issue
arrest warrant," he said.
Foster, who has been with the AAPD
since 1972, was arrested while off-duty.
He is being held in lieu of $60,000 bond.
Foster's preliminary exam in the
case will take place within the next
twelve days, said Delhey.
