The booing continued for several :seconds. It came from several areas :in the auditorium and could be heard over the applause that custimarily greets his arrival in public auditiri- WM. The president and first lady entered the box moments before the perfor mance began, about 10 minutes late. House lights were already lowered, but television camera lights lit up the box.

ATLANTA (AP) "Crib death," a sudden, unexplained illness that :strikes thousands of infants each year, may be linked to bacterial poi sons or to an allergic reaction, the findings of two teams of researchers suggest. The two studies, to be presented, today at the annual convention of the American Society for Microbiology here, suggest divergent explanations for sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, which kills an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 infants each year. One study by researchers at St. John's University in New York found evidence to suggest SIDS is the result of an allergic reaction in infants who have immune system deficiencies. The babies lack the ability to combat allergies to such common items as cow's milk, household dust or fungal spores in the air, said Constantine J. Efthymiou, a professor of biologic sciences at St. John's. "I think this is the first time we have a definite association of some The Daily Collegian how the Reagans reacted. There was more booing mixed with applause when the president and Mrs. Regan returned to their box after the first intermission. The Reagans waved to the audience, apparently disregarding the boos. No announcement was made before their arrival that the Reagans would be attending, but the presidential seal was placed on the front of the box. Reagan's guests included Michael K. Deaver, the deputy chief of the White House staff, and Mrs. Deaver. Robert Joffrey, founder of the dance company which is celebrating its 25th birthday this year, also was a Reagan guest. Reagan's son, Ron, dances with the Joffrey II company, an offshoot of the Joffrey Ballet. A note in the program said the performance was "dedicated to the people of Afghanistan •" studied biological event that can be consid ered the primary cause of SIDS," he said in an interview. "If this is really the sequence of events," then an early identification of infants susceptible to SIDS may be possible in the near future, he said. • The other study found that monkeys injected with newly recognized poi sons produced by a common bacteri um died a sleeping death indistinguishable from SIDS. The monkeys "showed a quiet death in four to 10 hours and an autopsy was incapable of determining how they died," said Dr. Stephen S. Arnon, a researcher with the California De partment of Health Services who headed the bacterial poison study. The two poisons were produced by the Clostridium difficile bacterium, which is "extremely common" and is found in the intestines of all animals, including humans, Arnon said. The bacterium is also found in soil, house hold dust and elsewhere in the envi ronment. once in the morning does it Ostriches not stupid, By MARCUS ELIASON Associated Press Writer OUDTSHOORN, South Africa (AP) History has been unkind to the ostrich. Maligned and ridiculed since Bible times, the world's largest bird is still regarded by zoo-goers as a dim-witted, evolutionary freak. Yet the ostrich has escaped the fate of the dodo and some 30,000 thrive around Oudtshoorn, the little Cape province town that is the ostrich-farming capital of the world. Vast flocks of eight-foot tall ostriches can be seen in half-acre enclosures, peacefully munching the alfalfa that greens the dusty plain north of, the Outeniqua mountains. They yield fine feathers, tender meat and a tough but supple hide. For the largest farms, they earn a small fortune from the 250,000 tourists who visit the area annually, paying $3.50 each to be told about ostriches. And you thought the lines at registration were bad. At least these ostriches can bury their heads in the sand The ostrich's reputation for stupidity dates back to the book of Job, in which it is claimed that "God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath He imparted to her understanding." The Roman naturalist Pliny observed the ostrich's tactic of burying its head in the sand when threatened, and concluded: "the veriest fool they be of all others." That the ostrich has wings but cannot fly has contrib uted to its oafish image. So has its penchant for eating anything'— pebbles, pennies, golf balls, hair curlers and sparkplugs. Thus visitors to Highgate Ostrich Show Farm are told by their guide at the outset that "these birds are absolutely stupid." Not so, argue the ostrich's defenders. The head-bury ing stunt, they say, is designed to disguise the bird as one of the black bushes that stud the baking landscape.

As for those useless wings they may not be wings at all, but rudimentary forelegs of aireptile. Like the crocodile, the ostrich has a three-chambered heart. As J.E. Duerden, a South African zoologist, has noted: "One can never be quite certain what are the factors, conscious or otherwise, which determine any action of an ostrich, without becoming an ostrich oneself. The stupidity lies in our attempt at an explana tion, and not in the bird itself." The ostrich is anything but cowardly. It has been known to confront oncoming express trains, and its kick can kill. "If an ostrich charges at you," says Highgate guide Louie de Beer, "you can either do the hundred meter dash in five seconds or you can lie down Hat. He can't kick low objects so he'll just do a little war dance on your back and then leave you alone." Wed likE TO INVITE you TO HEALTH CENTER. Shutdown: . By JEFF BRADLEY Associated Press Writer LONDON (AP) Transport workers closed the capital's subway and bus network yesterday, but most of London's 6 million commuters made it to work by car, taxicab or bicycle. In the first total shutdown of services since a 1926 general strike, transport unions struck to protest a court-ordered doubling of fares "No tube services today due to indus trial action. Sorry," read a sign at a locked subway station. Most of London's 4 million daily bus passengers and 2 million "tube" com muters still managed to get to work by car, taxicab, bicycle or by walking in the rainy, but mild weather. Londoners . : well-practiced resilience was born in a six-week series of strikes earlier this winter by British Rail train drivers. Parks in central London became emer gency reservoirs for cars and many travelers gave lifts to neighbors.

"We're five times as busy as normal," said cabbie Frank Green in one of the convoys of black London taxis enjoying a busy day because of the 24-hour strike. The London Chanber of Commerce surveyed 30 firms ariß reported that 85 to '9O percent of workers had arrived safely, although some paused for refreshment. In one busy pub, a barmaid commented: "They're drowning their sorrows." Subway and bus fares will double in 10 days because of a Dec. 17 ruling by the Law Lords Britain's highest appeal court striking down a subsidized "Fares Fair" policy introduced by the socialist-controlled Greater London Council last October. The Law Lords said London Transport is legally bound to attempt to operate with balanced books that subsidies are illegal.

Bill Morris, chairman of a "defense committee" formed by the two dozen unions representing some 35,000 drivers, guards, ticket collectors and office staff, said: "We regret this action has been nec essary and we ' call on London Transport and the public to join with us in our campaign to make the government enact legislation to allow the restoration of subsidies." Government Transport Secretary Da vid Howell, who has ruled out such legis lation, called the stoppage "pointless and damaging." A poll taken by Capital Radio station said only one-third of Londoners support ed the strike, although 63 percent backed the council cheap-fare initiative. Subway and bus fares are based on distance traveled, and thousands of com muters have to travel 10 or 15 miles to get to work. On March 21, the average one way subway ticket will go up 100 percent to $3.28. The bus fare average will double to 92 cents on March 21. February 1978 under an assumed identity.

When asked how O'Rourke's detention has affected their marriage, Mrs. O'Rourke responded, "We haven't had a marriage for the last 2 1 / 2 years."
