The Michigan Daily - Sunday, November 18, 1984 - Page 3 BBC beauty contest ban attacked LONDON (AP) - a ban on televised beauty contests by the British Broad- casting Corp. was attacked yesterday by a Conservative member of Parliament, ridiculed by a rival net- work and condemned by newspapers on girl-crazy Fleet Street. "The BBC will live to regret this," warned Tory lawmaker Geoffrey Dickens. "For God's sake, all this equality is quite ridiculous." THE BAN was announced Friday by Michael Grade, new programming chief for BBC1, the senior of the state- owned network's two television chan- nels. He said the BBC is committed to 0 showing the Miss Great Britain pageant in January, but there will be no more beauty contests on the network after that. "I believe these contests no longer merit national air time," Grade said. "They are an anachronism in this day and age of equality and verging on the of- fensive. We can spend our money and resources to much better purpose." The announcement came one day af- ter the BBC's commercial rival, In- dependent Television, broadcast the Miss World pageant live from Royal Albert Hall in London. ITV officials, noting that BBC showed the Miss World pageant until ITV made organizers a better offer in 1980, dismissed the ban as sour grapes. "The Miss World contest is a very widely enjoyed program," said Muir Sutherland, program chief for Thames Television, one of ITV's member com- panies. "We anticipate that we will have beaten the BBC by 2-1 in Thur- sday's ratings." But the Daily Mirror quoted Grade as retorting: "I would not take the Miss World contest if I was offered it for nothing." "The ladies like the glamous dresses and the fellas like glamous girls," Dickens reasoned. "What's so wrong and down-market about that?" Baby Fae's deal LIMA LINDA, Calif. (AP) - Baby Fae's struggle for life with a transplanted baboon's heart is over, but her death opens a period of analysis by scientists who ask whether the knowledge gained from her 21 extra days of life was worth the cost and whether the operation should be done again. "Does the likelihood of accomplishing good justify the suf- fering involved in this kind of situation - suffering by the baby and suffering by the parents?" said Dr. Antonio Gotto, who last week ended his term as president of the American Heart Association. "The thing to do at this time is to very carefully analyze what took place with this case," Gotto said. Dr. Leonard Bailey, the surgeon who performed the tran- splant Oct. ,6 at Loma Linda University Medical Center, said h opens analysis Friday that it "opened new vistas" of hope for the one in every 12,000 children born with hypoplastic left heart syn- drome, the fatal underdevelopment suffered by Baby Fae. Most of these children die because infant human heart donors are rare. Despite Baby Fae's death Thursday night, Bailey said he learned much about combating the body's efforts to reject foreign tissue and hopes to perform more baboon-to-human transplants after other scientists review his data. "I still think the transplant method may- have some viability. I don't think one can determine that yet," said Got- to, chairman of internal medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and Methodist Hospital in Houston.

RC students seek direct input CMU revokes fraternity 's registration (Continued from Page 1) "It's a question of who runs the University and who runs LSA. Traditionally, it has been the dean and the executive committee . . . I think they have made a very strong gesture for input;" Mersereau said. HE ADDED, however, that college students will be able to reject the final selection of the LSA executive commit- tee if they aren't satisfied. "In that sense, we have the final say," said Carol Scherer, an LSA senior. And Cohen said he is confident that the list of nominees recommended by students will be "highly acceptable" to the executive committee. Steiner said he expects the commit- tee to make their selection by early winter term. MOUNT PLEASANT (UPI) - Cen- tral Michigan University has broken its ties with the Sigma Phi Epsilon Frater- nity because of two violations of the University code of conduct, CMU of- ficials said.

"The fraternity's recognition as a registered student organization is revoked for an indefinite period of time but not for less than three years," said James Hill, CMU vice president for student affairs. Hill said loss of recognition from the university means the fraternity can no longer participate in university-spon- sored events such as Greek Week, in- tramural sports or rush. "It was felt that the leadership and advisers of the group had not taken adequate steps to control the behavior of its members," Hill said. Hill said the punishment was stiff, the harshest ever by the university, because officials had reprimanded Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity members in the past over prior behavior problems and had not noticed any marked change. He also noted the fraternity is on probation for serving alcohol to a minor.

" March 30, 1984: Seventy-nine per- cent of the students voting in the MSA annual elections reject the ad- ministration's draft of the code. Ninety- two percent said that MSA could not decide on a code until the student body has voted on the final draft in a special election. " Sept. 25, 1984: MSA passes a resolution saying members will not negotiate over the code with the ad- ministration unless the executive of- ficers first promise to sidestep MSA's veto power. The resolution also asks the administration to treat the code and the judicial system as one document, both subject to MSA's approval.
