4 Page 2-Thursday, March 3, 1983-The Michigan Daily 'U'might divest from 4fi rms (Continued from Page 1) Herbert said a change in personnel at the company this summer had made him optimistic that the com- pany would respond to University requests. Yesterday, however, he said, "we have tried long enough to get them to send information." IN A LETTER sent February 14 Herbert told Car- nation executives that the University would sell its stock in the company if detailed information was not provided in time for the April Regents meeting. Dun. and Bradstreet Corp. has also failed to send information to the University, Herbert said. Responding to one of Herbert's requests for ifor- iimation, Dun and Bradstreet representative iiarrington Drake wrote that his company would not submit to an "adversarial investigation" by the ,University. HERBERT SAID he was only trying to clear up *concerns about the company's lack of a special em- ployment policy for blacks working in its South African operation. The University wants companies in South Africa to have special employment policies to help train non- whites for supervisory and technical positions in the company, he said. The company did not supply the University with details to prove such a training program exists. "(Drake) was basically asking us to trust him on his word," Herbert said. Dun and Bradstreet has not affirmed the Sullivan principles, and has not come up with effective sub- stitutes for them, Herbert said. AFTER CORRESPONDENCE this fall, Drake ap- pealed to University President Harold Shapiro. The letter protested Herbert's "bureaucratic monitoring" of the company. Shapiro wrote back last month to defend Herbert and inform the company that the University was going to recommend sale of its Dun and Bradstreet stock. Dart and Kraft Inc. refused to report to the Univer- sity last year. They said in a letter that their small size made detailed annual reports too costly and time consuming. DART AND KRAFT'S South African operation employs fewer than 200 people. Herbert, tshowever, said that the company's small size is not a legitimate reason for failing to report. The same operation reported regularly before it was taken over by Dart and Kraft, he said. Trane Co. has also failed to respond to several of Herbert's requests for information. A letter from January 1982 is the most recent written response; the University has from the company. AT THAT TIME a new manager for their South African operations said information would be for- warded after he had settled in. Unlike correspondence to Carnation, Dun and Bradstreet, and Dart and Kraft, Herbert's letter to Trane did not warn of the University's plans to sell stock in the company. Yesterday, however, Herbert said "there is nothing right now that would justify continuing ownership" of Trane Co. stock. The company was not warned in'the letter because Herbert said he wanted to give them one last chance to send the desired information.

MADD is especially interested in making its message heard in Ann Ar- bor. Because the city is home for an unusually large student population. Snow said she feels it is a target area. "There is a life expectance decrease in the 16-to-24-year age group due stric- tly to alcohol-related crashes. We want to stop that. We need you young people," Snow said. THE DEATHof a child or young per- son has triggered many to join MADD - statements similar to Bob Sullivan's really sting people like Mary Dye, whose 20-year-old son, a pre-med student at Western Michigan Univer- sity, was killed by a drunk driver while in Ann Arbor during winter break. "The impact on the entire family was tremendous," Dye said. "You never get over it." Even Sullivan has experienced a loss to a drunk driver. His 17-year-old cousin was killed in an accident in- ,volving a drunk driver four years ago. "My parents really became protective. It took about two years for them to get over the loss," he said. BUT MANY University students say that the idea of driving afterthaving a few drinks doesn't bother them too much, despite the numerous stories of tragedy many MADD members can relate. Correction Former Humanities Prof. Howard Segal and three other faculty members without tenure have voluntarily resigned from the College of Engineering's Humanities department since last year. Yesterday's Daily in- correctly reported that the department had been forced to reduce its staff because of budget cuts. Some students said they have few fears about drinking and driving. While at the University, they said, they rarely have to drive after drinking, aside from the occasinal quick ride from a bar or party back to a dormitory or apartment' (these short rides "don't count," ac- cording to one student). Marsh said his parents think they do not have to worry about-him drinking at school because he "walks everywhere." ORAH SLIMES, an LSA senior, also says she has never driven while in- toxicated in Ann Arbor. "I walk all the time," Blimes said. "But at home (in upstate New York), the closest bar is 14 miles away. When I was in high school, we'd always carpool, and I made sure I drove, because I didn't get that smashed - except once. I was tipsy and scared, driving on a country road. I'd close my eyes, and the next thing I knew I'd be a mile down the road. "I was really surprised I wasn't in a field somewhere," she said. Other students say that after a scary incident, they have had second thoughts about driving after partying. "I won't drive with anyone who's drunk anymore," said LSA freshperson Lori Pankey. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Two nuclear plant failures blamed on poor maintenance WASHINGTON - Federal officials yesterday blamed poor maintenance for the unprecedented failure - twice within a week - of a New Jersey nuclear plant's automatic safety system and expressed fear the problem could be widespread. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission disclosed that the system which automatically shuts down a reactor when there are indication of unsafe con- ditions had failed for a second time last week at Public Service Electric Gas Co.'s Salem, N.J., plant. One of 'the breakdowns had come to light previously. Both breakdowns were blamed on the simultaneous failure of two circuit breakers that, when either one is activated, insert control rods into a reactor immediately to stop the nuclear reaction. NRC officials acknowledged that the Salem incidents raise new questions about quality control in maintenace programs at nuclear plants around the country. The second failure at the Salem plant last Friday and the 24 seconds that passed before the control room operator shut down the reactor manually could have caused a severe accident with possible damage to the reactor core if the plant had been operating at full power, NRC officials said. Germ link to infertility found BOSTON - A common, easily curable bacterial infection appears tobe a major cause of infertility and treating it may allow many childless couples to have families, research shows. The bacteria is often passed through sexual contacts and its symptoms are so mild that most victims do not realize that they have it. Dr. Attila Toth said about a third of all childless couples seen at his infer- tility clinic at New York Hospital have this infection. His study showed that when the infection is cured with antibiotics, 60 percent of the couples are able to achieve pregnancy within three years. The culprit is called T-mycoplasma or ureaplasma urealyticum, which invades the genital tract in both men and women. At least 15 percent of all married couples in the United States are infertile, and Toth says, "It's my belief that at least half of all infertility cases are due to infection, and a large percentage of these are due to mycoplasma." Toth's study was published in today's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. A second study on the bacteria, directed by Dr. Gail Cassell at the University of Alabama in Birminham, was also published in the journal. West Coast storms kill 13 A Pacific storm stalled off the coast kept California under siege yesterday with giant waves and mudslides splintering lavish homes and famous piers. Thousands of people were routed by floods up to the rooftops in places. The death toll from the West Coast storms that began over the weekend rose to 13, with more than 50 people injured. Rain, mud and rocks closed major highways and railroads and parts of Arizona and Colorado were warned to expect up to a foot of new snow. Snow was already higher than houses in parts of the Sierra Nevada. In Santa Barbara the wreckage of luxury homes littered the beachfront and the harbor was evacuated yesterday after waves from an "absolutely awesome" storm pounded this usually tranquil city of palm trees and Spanish tile roofs. During the worst of the storm late Tuesday, breakers towering to 15 feet tossed rocks, sand and debris onto flooded oceanfront streets and ripped pilings from under historic Stearns Wharf. One crashed over the top of the Santa Barbara Harbormaster's office, breaking gas lines and igniting several small fires. Salvador wants early election WASHINGTON - The Salvadoran government, increasingly on the defen- sive in its war with leftist insurgents, is considering moving up the date of its next election - a shift the Reagan administration is encouraging, officials said yesterday. The Salvadorans have scheduled elections for a new president and legislature in March 1984, but administration officials fear that the full year's wait will contribute to political bickering that will hamper the war ef- fort. At the State Department, spdkesman John Hughes acknowledged that the United States has talked with Salvadoran.authorities about the possibility of advancing the election. Asked whether such a movewould have the enthusiastic support of the United States, Hughes said, "Yes." Meanwhile leftist rebels yesterday rejected Defense Minister Joe Garcia's appeal to lay down their weapons permanently to honor the pope's visit to Central America, saying peace would come once Garcia was "in the graveyard of history." Carter urges Israeli withdrawal Former President Jimmy Carter, on an unofficial Middle East peace mission, met yesterday in Cairo with Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak and U.S. envoy Philip Habib and called for the total withdrawal of Israeli and Syrian troops from Lebanon. The former president, who a day earlier criticized the Reagan ad- ministration for not being "adequately forceful" in pressuring for troop withdrawals, also met with Egyptian Foreign Minister Kamal Hassan Ali and Prime Minsiter Fuad Mohieddin. Carter, the architect of the Camp. David accords which led to the historic peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, met Mubarak at his residence in suburban Hiliopolis for a working lunch. 13be Mitrt-an Butg Vol. XCIII, No. 118 Thursday, March 3, 1983 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
