Page 2--Thursday, October 5, 1978-The Michigan Daily Suit filed over MSA election - (Continued from Page 1) -because it did not state the article, sec- tion, or clause it amends. "They (MSA) can screw around with the compiled code because the assem- bly can change that, but if they're going to change the constitution they better know what they're doing, because they only get one chance in one election," said Potter. Representing Arnson and Smith, MSA member Sean Foley claimed the proposal is adequate because "there was a clear intent on the part of the assembly, everyone running for the of- fices, and the people running the elec- tion. In addition, it was clear on the part "of the students because they intended to elect a president and vice president." FOLEY SAID it is ironic Freeman filed suit, because he ran for'president, accepted subsidies, and spent his own money on the campaign. In response, Freeman stated, "I knew the rules and I knew they were in doubt, but I wasn't sure I was going to win the suit so I ran to cover all the bases." CSJ held a hearing Sunday on the suit, but decided to postpone its decision until this Sunday. "WE DIDN'T feel we had enough time to deliberate," said Vice Chief Justice Ric Shahin. "There was a split court and the difficulties involved in discussion precluded any final set- tlements." /2PRICE BEER & COCKTAILS EVERY THURSDAY: Featuring Live Entertainment The Famed eASloIOTERS" 8:30 till Closing Also LIVE ENTERTAI /MENT Every Fri.Sot. Arnson said he was stunned to hear the court had to deliberate because he thought "the suit was frivolous since the intent was so clear." Shanin said troubles for MSA will result if the election for the president and vice president is not certified. "MSA COULD be thrown into a tailspin from which it may never recover," said Shahin. "There is enough student apathy toward MSA as it is, and if they find out the president and vice president they elected were thrown out on a technicality, MSA could lose all credibility." Shahin added that if certified, the election would be equivalent to deciding MSA could abrogate its own rules time and time again when the situation requires. "I don't know if that's good or bad, but Freeman has a valid point with the 45-day waiting period. Also, the person who represented Arnson didn't convin- ce the people the intent was clear that MSA tried to remedy the situation," said Shahin. Arnson said MSA may lose the suit on a technicality, but he thought action the court would take would not likely affect the current leadership.

UAT Wfilm premieres By BETH ROSENBERG It started as a thesis topic, became a movie, and now serves as an educational device for the public on the role of women in the General Motors (GM) sit-down strike in Flint in 1937.

She and her sister were supporting a family of seven because her father was not working regularly. "Sometimes we'd go to work and work two hours, and then maybe be sent home. No sick benefits, there was no health and welfare programs. There was no social security, there was no unemployment compensation." she said. HENDRIX WAS an avid recruiter for the union. A network of "stool pigeons" reported her activities to GM, and she was fired. Unemployment did not deter her. The union even sent a bodyguard with her for protection when she gave speeches. "I carried a bar of soap in a sock for, protection," Henrix chuckled. Hearing of this, her sons gave her the nickname ERA i (Continued from Page 1) ERA, a declaration of fundamental human rights for American women, will soon become part of our Con- stitution." NOT ONCE SINCE Congress set a seven-year ratification deadline for constitutional amendments in 1917 has it extended the deadline. Opponents of the ERA extension argued that Congress would set a dangerous precedent by making an ex- ception in this case. "Let's. remember this is the Con- stitution of the United States we are dealing with," said Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.). "We are more or less changing it like you would a fish and game law-a hunting license or something of the sort." THE CONSTITUTION makes no mention of time limits for ratification of amendments. The Supreme Court has ruled that Congress has the power to set limits and to determine what limits are reasonable. Garn predicted during the debate that the question of whether Congress has the power to extend a time limit will ultimately be settled in the courts. Johann Christoph Denner, a 17th- century German woodwind maker, is generally credited with developing the clarinet by adding two keys to a medieval instrument called the chulumeau. "rock-in-the-sock-toting-mama." Laura Hayward, 68, also worked help organize the union. "Union dt were 50 cents a month. When you we paid 15 cents an hour (in 1929), uni dues were considered a big chunk." WORKING IN A bearings plant doi inspections, Helen Hauer, 65, made cents an hour. She said the strike w not for more money. "We were fighting for dignity... be treated like human beings, becal *we were not treated like hum beings." WEB worked alongside the m during the strike.

"You'd have to sprinkle fl along the way (for them) to find~ meeting," she said. The three Brigade members agi that hard work during the strike tim made the differenc between victory a defeat in the 44-day strike. Hend: remembered that one mother of walked nine miles a day to the pici line clad in tennis shoes and a swea during subfreezing weather. "That's the kind of dedication whi built the union," said Henrix. LYN GOLDFARB, historian a producer of the film said the movie w made because women have been deni their history for long enough. "Our biggest problem in findi footage for the movie occurred becau most shots of women were discard when film was preserved." Much of 1 footage in the movie was found in t outtakes file in the National Archives Washington. The movie's Ann Arbor premiere Sunday night at 7 and 9 an Angell HE Aud.
