Page 5 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February i iY86 Zoning is hot issue in today's Third Ward City Council race (Continued from Pate 1) tment measured the house at over 6,000 square feet by including the attic and basement. Thus, according to the . revised zoning codes, the sorority's use is legal. But because the zoning change was never discussed at a public meeting such as the city council, as required by state and local laws, the neighbors consider the change illegal. As a member of city council, Mid- dleton voted for the conversion of the house on Lincoln to group occupancy status. As a result, she won the favor of the University's Greek community. Mary Beth Seiler, director of the Panhellenic Association, which governs the sororities at the Univer- sity, wrote a letter endorsing Mid- dleton's campaign. "She (Richter) has been most visible in her opposition to fraternities and sororities, and her position on the city council would have far-reaching and negative consequences for Greeks at U of M," the letter said. "Additionally, Jeanette Middleton has been an excellent and fair-minded member of both city council and the planning commission." According to the letter, Middleton did not ask for an endorsement. With 24 sororities and fraternities in the Third Ward, the Greek community's backing of Middleton could have a large impact on the primary election. "I welcome (the students') sup- 'Because I have a planning background and the experience and knoweldge that a city council member needs to judge the city, I can help the city through this critical growth stage.' -Donna Richter only place where Greeks can ex- pand." To reduce the tension between the planning commission and city residents, Richter says she would like to establish "citizen's councils" which would review planning proposals before the commission votes on them. Although they differ on the zoning issue, Richter and Middleton both op- pose a proposal on the April ballot that calls for a $3 million tax-bond issue for road repair. Both candidates say money for road improvements should first come out of the city's general fund before approaching tax- payers. Moreover, the candidates agree that downtown development should be encouraged, in particular, by ap- proving a proposed convention center at Huron, First, Ashley, and Ann Streets. And they both say the growing com- petition for housing in the downtown area must be addressed if the city wants to bring in more business. "It's more expensive, by about $20 a square foot, to build housing down- town than anywhere else in the city," Richter said. The city needs to provide financial incentives to developers who want to build housing downtown, she said. "Visitors will just frequent service places like restaurants, but people who love downtown will keep places like Kline's in business," she added. port," Middleton said, "and I need their votes." Richter says her no-vote was based only on the issue of land-use, not just the group that was caught in the mid- dle. "It was nothing to do with anti- Greek feelings," she said. But Richter is still drawing op- position from sororities and frater- nities over her plan to prevent future conversions of single and two-family homes in the four-street area to group dwellings. Betsy French, Panhellenic's representative to a zoning task force reviewing Collegiate Sorosis's case, said the current zoning area "is the BUSINESS Exper NEW YORK (AP) - When Tylenol capsules were tainted with cyanide three years ago, the manufacturer . won back consumers by making packages tamper-resistant, and marketing experts say the nation's most popular painkiller should sur- vive a new tampering incident. Cyanide was found in two bottles of Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules from two stores in a New York City suburb, and one death was blamed on the con- taminated drug. WHEN. seven people died after taking cyanide-contaminated Tylenol * in Illinois in 1982, many marketing professionals said the brand was dead. But Tylenol bounced back. The death a week ago of 23-year-old Diane Elsroth after taking a cyanide- laced Tylenol capsule raised a new question : Can Tylenol survive a second scare? Marketing analysts say yes, though some expressed doubts about con- tinued consumer acceptance of Tylenol capsules. THE easy-to-swallow capsules ac- count for one-third of Tylenol sales. The majority of the market is in tablets and caplets, which are coated tablets. They are harder to tamper with than capsules because they are solid, rather than grains of medication in a soluble casing. Jerry Fuller, who follows the hospital supply business for the in- vestment firm Duff & Phelps Inc. in Chicago, called the outlook for Tylenol capsules bleak, but said John- son & Johnson's Tylenol brand would survive. The analysts uniformly cited the management skills and marketing savvy of Johnson & Johnson for their (yi'v O vvT ts say T assessments of the durability of the aspirin-free painkiller. Following the Chicago deaths, Johnson & Johnson set up consumer hot lines, recalled 22 million bottles of Tylenol capsules, answered 2,500 inquiries from reporters and joined an industrywide effort to develop new tamper-resistant packaging. Johnson & Johnson estimates it spent hundreds of millions of dollars designing the triple-sealed package which it used to bring back Tylenol capsules in December 1982. The incident knocked Tylenol from its spot as the leader among over-the- counter painkillers with 35 percent of the market. Industry analysts said it fell as low as an eight percent share. BY the end of 1985, however, Tylenol was back on top with 35 per- cent of the $1.8 billion marker, accor- ding to Joseph Riccardo of the in- vestment firm Bear, Stearns & Co. in New York. After Elsroth's death, traced to Tylenol purchased at a supermarket in Bronxville, a New York City suburb, Johnson & Johnson sprang in- to action once again.

Johnson & Johnson has been "the textbook example of corporate responsibility," said Roger Black- well, marketing professor at Ohio State University. "If this were a normal company with normal stan- dards of ethics, I would have to write them off, but this is Johnson & John- son." DAVID Williams, part owner of New England Consulting Group in Westport, Conn., predicted that Tylenol capsules will remain in demand, perhaps with new tamper- resistant devices. "Consumers have faith in branded goods," he said. "They realize that leading branding goods companies are doing the best that can be done to protect the consumer." Johnson & Johnson's chairman, James Burke, expressed confidence Friday in the Tylenol brand, but said he wanted to hear form consumers before deciding on resuming produc- tion of Tylenol capsules. "The consumer is king in this coun- try, and the consumer fooled ever- body the last time," he said. r- es - n- How to start your law career before you start law school.
