The Michigan Daily-Saturday, April 7, 1979-Page 7 INFACT URGES NESTLE PROTEST Dorms to vote on boycott (Continued from Page 1) of the formula to consumers and have tightened control over free samples. Shirley Powell of the Interfaith Council for Peace which is the local base for the INFACT movement, said these claims have not been carried out completely. The University Housing Division will recognize student support of the boycott if a majority of "yes" votes are cast. Food Service will then eliminate Nestle items from menus and purchase alter- native brands. THE UNIVERSITY currently uses few Nestle products and a boycott would have only minimal effects on food service. A boycott "wouldn't be noticed" by students eating in the dor- ms according to Larry Pederson, member of the local INFACT chapter. If dormitory residents approve the boycott, the University will join a growing number of colleges and universities supporting INFACT in- cluding Harvard, Berkeley and Notre Dame. Pederson and dormitory represen- tatives are optimistic that the referen- dum will pass. "I think most people who know what the issue is will vote for us," said Stacy Stephanopolis, a Mosher- Jordan resident working on the cam- paign. Pederson met with each dormitory house council and Norm Snustad, associate director of housing, to coor- dinate the effort in the residence halls. Each dorm council independently ap- ,proved the referendum and represen- tatives met to design the ballot for the campuswide vote. EACH OF THE 10 dorms that have University food service decided in- dependently which day or days between April 9-11 to hold the referendum in their cafeteria supper lines. The local INFACT chapter has been working with dormitory represen- tatives to provide information on the boycott for residents. Information -tables have been set up at cafeteria exits and stuffers have been put in dorm mailboxes to inform residents of the boycott and referendum. The main impact of a boycott by the University will be on public awareness since the economic effect on Nestle would be negligible, said Pederson. He said he hopes that the word will spread and more people will personally boycott Nestle products. The INFACT boycott has already been endorsed by the Michigan Student Assembly, Literary College Student Government and the Intercooperative Council on campus. INFACT is urging the boycott of all Nestle products which include Libby's and Stouffer foods. RC/EQ presents: in EAST QUAD &4 .

A'ntE-nu.ke forces rallty in Detroit By TIMOTHY YAGLE Special to the Daily DETROIT-"Stop nuclear power!" was the battle cry of several speakers who preached the hazards of atomic energy at an hour-long rally at Detroit's Kennedy Square yesterday. The speakers told approximately 200 anti-nuclear demonstrators who braved chilling temperatures and biting winds that utility companies are monopolizing control of energy sources and con- tinuing to build dangerous nuclear r Daily Classifieds fontinued from Page > t reactors. UNITED STATES Senator Carl Levin, who was scheduled to speak at the rally, organized by the Detroit Safe .Energy Coalition (SECO), did not at- tend because he was in Washington, D.C. "Today we are joining the ranks of the millions of people in this nation and the world who know that nuclear power is an iminent threat to the survival of man and to all life on earth," said Mary Sinclair, a member of the Great Lakes Energy Alliancean area anti-nuclear group. Sinclair claimed that Michigan nuclear power plants are not economically feasible. "We know from their escalating costs that the two Midland plants and the Fermi II plants are the most expensive power plants ever built and . . will be a terrible financial burden on the rate payers," she said. SHE ALSO referred to an Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) report con- cerning cracked pipes at the Big Rock, Michigan nuclear power plant in 1973, explaining that "we have a pattern of repeated and flagrant violations of a non-routine character." In addition to the problems of current plant operations, Sinclair claimed the growing number of nuclear plants have caused added health risks to state residents. "Our legislature has banned the dumping of nuclear wastes in the state, but we must halt further production of nuclear plants," she proclaimed. We must continue these demonstrations until our legislature and Congress declare a moratorium on nuclear power and begin to phase out existing dangerous plants." " THESE KINDS of acts (rallies) have to be translated into pressure on legislators," said State Senator Douglas Ross. "We want a halt now to any nuclear development in Michigan. This, despite the cold and the wind, is the easiest part of our job." Ross also stressed, as did other speakers, the im- portance of disseminating anti-nuclear information. "It's not a scientific and technological issue," Ross said. "It's a political and moral issue." SECO's Dan Marshall protested what he called prematuresrate hikes by Detroit Edison. Marshall said the utility was basing current rates on an anticipated heavy demand for elec- tricity this summer. IE ADDED that the major portion of plant construction is being based on air conditioning loads. "That's not necessary," Marshall claimed. "We have to get people to stop wasting energy." Ron Wilson of the Public Interest Research Group In Michigan (PIRGIM) said, "Three Mile Island has opened up a Pandora's Box for finding nuclear disasters. Who's going to pay for these accidents. You and I are. The future must be made safe for our children. We hve to spend massive funds on alter- native forms of energy like we did for the moon shot." But, he said, "conser- vation is the cheapest way out." T11 PESACH PeSSOVER at HILLEL As in the past Hillel will have two Seders and two Kosher L'Pesach meals each day of passover.
