Bordeaux, chablis, chanIi, rose:
Village Corner loaded with wine
By STEVE MILLS
When Bob Fegley recommends wine,
there's plenty to choose from. As a part-
time wine salesman at Village Corner,
Fegley can offer customers 3,000 dif-
ferent types of wines-the largest selec-
tion in Ann Arbor and, according to
Fegley, the state.
"Someone somewhere in Detroit
might squabble with that," he said.
THE UNIVERSITY senior is part of a
five-person team at Village Corner
which aids customers in choosing from
the vast selection. They also direct or-
ders and prepare an extensive wine
catalog from tastings.
Fegley said buyers come from as far
away as Toronto and Wisconsin to
satisfy their tastes.
"I tell them what goes with what," he.
said. "Or maybe they'll want to know
what's good in a Bordeaux this year."
FEGLEY SAID he's at the lower rung
of the Village Corner ladder. But the
zoology major has no trouble rattling
off the names of good wines, bad wines,
cheap wines and expensive wines.
"There are good wines at any price,"
he said. "Of course, not that many
students around here are that rich, but,
a surprisingly high number buy a good
bottle for around.$10."
Fegley said he frequently sells bottles
in the $30 and up range, wines that
come from reputable producers and
have high production costs.
"THERE ARE a lot of risks in
making some wines," he explained.
"You have to pick the grapes late when
there's a danger of frost."
The weather itself was to blame for
the bad 1977 wine season, Fegley said.
However, this might bring the cost
down from the soaring prices of the
good 1976 season.
"The market was flooded with high
quality German wine," he said. "There
wasn't as much for just a middle-
market wine."
NOW, HE SAID, the Germans are
looking for lighter wines to help bring
costs down.
Agreeing with Fegley is John Upshur,
co-founder of the Ann Arbor Food and
Wine Society, a group of 250 wine con-
noisseurs who host tasting parties and
collectively make wine buying offers.
Upshur, a professor at the Univer-
sity's English Language Institute,
sees a trend in Italian light wines as
well as "a general better quality than in
the past and more interest in selling
wines.
MICHIGANDERS might be surprised
to find out they have wine coming from
their own state. And, it's even good,
Fegleysaid.
"There are some very good Michigan
wines," he noted. "The Tabor Hill
wines are looking better and there's a
lot expected from around the Traverse
City area."
Although Fegley recommends
specific wines and deals with buyers,
he's reluctant to put the beverage in
any class. "I don't like the mystique
around wine," he said. "It sounds snob-
by and it shouldn't be that way. It's not
just for the wealthy."
BUT IF MONEY is a problem, Big
Ten party store offers an alternative.
As a retailer of home wine-making kits
and supplies, they add the homemade
touch.
But as wine salesman Mark Gibson
put it, "They're slow sellers." Other
than a few regulars, most people still
prefer buying wines instead of making
them.
"The kits are good for beginners," he
said, "and the wine isn't bad." But, he
hesitated, "It isn't good either."
TENTA TIVE A GREEMENT ON SETTLEMENT REA CHED:
Carter urges ratification of coal contract

'JEWISH STUDENTS-
Dinner, Wine, Dessert ($1)
atHILLEL
Sunday, Feb. 26-6:30 PM
The tentative settlement follows
essentially the agreement worked out
earlier this week between the union and
an independent coal company. It would
increase miners wages by $2.40 an hour
over the next three years, raising the
average daily wage to more than $80 a
day.
The President said he had just talked
to union and industry bargainers and
that because of the agreement "our
country should feel both gratitude and
pride."
IN APPEALING for quick
ratification by union members, Carter
said rejection of the proposed contract
would mean that "time will have run
out for all of us."
In announcing the tentative set-
tlement, Carter said: "This is the out-
come toward which all of us have been
working so hard ... We've been
devoted to this. It's one on which our
country can feel both gratitude and
pride."
The President said he had been deter-
mined to give collective bargaining
"every chance to work" and declared:
"AND THE settlement it has
produced is better for everyone in-
volved - for the mine workers, the
mine owners and the public - than
would have been the drastic steps that I
was prepared to take this evening,"
Carter said.
Noting that the union rank and file
must approve of the agreement, Carter
said, "Before I close, I would like to
speak directly to them."
He went on: "The work you do in the
mines is sometimes dangerous and
always difficult. No one can visit a coal
mine, even for a short time as I have,
without coming away with a vivid sense
of respect and appreciation for the job
you do.
"YOURS IS AN historic struggle.
Whenever there has been progress in
the mines, whenever there have been
improvements in pay or in safety con-
ditions or in health conditions, it's been
because you fought for them.
"Your dedication to justice in the
mines is matched only by your
dedication to your country
"The choice is now yours to make,
but I hope that you will follow the lead
of your bargaining council and ratify
the negotiated settlement."
Industry sources said negotiations
began late Thursday and continued all
day yesterday. Bargainers for both
sides met face-to-face more than once.
Sources said the effort was initiated by
the industry in a telephone call to
United Mine Workers President Arnold
Miller.

Chilean exile
"It has worked.
By MARTY LEVINE
Health care and nutrition are intrinsic to human rights, Chilean exile
Giorgio Solimano yesterday told an audience at the Henry Vaughn Building.
Fellow exile Dr. Enrique Kirberg and University Anthropology Prof,
Mick Taussig were featured with Solimano in several panel discussions and
speeches on Chilean human rights problems. "There is no doubt," Kirberg
asserted, "that the military junta (which replaced President Salvador
Allende in a 1973 coup) has violated every human right in Chile."
SOLIMANO, WHO helped organize the free milk distribution program
under Allende from 1970-73, said "health, food, and nutrition are a reflection
of the social development a country intends to accomplish. Social and
economic rights, including the right to health care and food, are basic
human rights. If (these needs are) not . . . fulfilled, it is unlikely that the
people will be able to practice the other human rights."
The free milk program, begun in 1943, benefitted 82 per cent of low
income families in 1973 when Chilean health care was well supported, accor-
ding to Solimano. The proportion of families participating in the program in-
creased with their size. Milk distribution helped Chileans nutritionally and
saved them up to ten per cent of their yearly expenses. This income
distribution effect was quite significant, according to Solimano.
The milk program has come under fire recently for contributing to the
decline in breast-feeding of Chilean infants and their subsequent
malnutrition. But Solimano stressed that there is no scientific information to
support this relationship.
"THE FIGURES HAVE been misused and misinterpreted," Solimano
said. Many factors contribute to malnutrition in Chilean infants, he said.
Many peasant mothers are forced to work on the giant estates of wealthy
land owners, according to Solimano.
Health care indicators had improved steadily from 1940 to 1973,
Solimano said. There was an increase in the national health budget and
community participation in health care, and up to 94 per cent of the
population was being taken care of by the public sector under Allende.
But the current junta has transformed the Chilean health service into a
system that favors transferring medical care to private doctors, Solimano
said. Now, a vast segment of the population cannot afford health care.
"Education has received the largest blow from the junta," Kirberg said.
"The military has penetrated every part of the educational system." Kir-
berg, who was president of the Technological University of Chile from 1968 to
1973, said entire libraries were burned, books banned, students expelled, and
the universities turned into military academies. According to Kirberg, the
junta has since instituted nineteen eight-four-esque "disappearances" in-
volving hundreds of students and thousands of other Chileans.
"The right to survival," Solimano said, "is for us the essential human
right, without which (other human rights) are but hollow promises.

It takes a lot of confidence to come
fresh out of school and begin telling us
how to do things.
On the other hand, it takes an un-
usual company to provide the kind of
environment where that can happen, but
that is exactly the environment you'll find
at Scott Paper.
We constantly search for people
who have the ability to respond to chal-
lenge and think for themselves, those

"WE ARE infinitesimal in the
scheme of things at this University," he
said. "However, there has. been a con-
tinued erosion of position for several
years.. . (The move by the ad-
ministration) was smooth, velvet-
gloved fascism."
According to the group's letter, the ad-
ministration's proposal "is not keeping
with the spirit or the letter of the Lane-
Newberry agreement." The letter also
contends that the University "has an
obligation to fund the Office at a level
where it can maintain its effectiveness.
A spokesman for the group, the Rev.
Donald Coleman, said the OER has
been without a permanent director sin-
ce 1975 and its staff has fallen con-
siderably in the past five years. In 1973
the office had four professional staff
members and two other staff, as com-
pared to two professional staff and one
support staff at the present, he said.
"OER IS TIlE only place in the
University's academic community
where a student can go and have his
questions on religious symbolism,
quests for meaning in life, or other
ethical matters taken seriously,"
Coleman said.
University Vice-President Henry
Johnson, whose office oversees the
GER, said the plan to relocate the coun-
selor was made in the interest of ef-
ficiency and arrangement.
The staff reduction in OER as a result
of this plan will not lower the office's
usefulness, he claimed, because there
is no correlation between the amount of
visibility an office has and its effec-
tiveness.

To speak of 'Relative Authority' is like speaking of a 'Square

Authority, it demands qualified obedience!
"From this it follows: That there can be only O ne Authority,
