Page 2-Sunday, February 19, 1978-The Michigan Daily MSA constitutional amendments slated for student ratification (Continued from Page 1) ts approve it. One MSA official said if CSJ turns down this plan if it is passed by students, MSA may take measures against CSJ. MSA has the power to remove CSJ members, although this power has only been exercised once. In that instance, CSJ threw off school and college representatives after declaring their proportioning unequal. MSA then removed CSJ and the new CSJ mem- bers agreed to let the school and college reps remain in MSA until the next elec- tion. THE OTHER PROPOSED amen= dment calls for the direct election of the MSA president and vice-president by students. They are presently elected by MSA members. Supporters of the plan say a directly elected president ana vice-president would generate more student interest in MSA elections, which have reached alarming lows in student turnout. In the last election less than five per cent of eligible students voted. "Hopefully, the election would feature things like debates," said DiGiuseppe, sponsor of the proposed amendment. "It (direct election) helps to eliminate needless factionalism," said Gibson, referring to the intensive effor- ts by presidential aspirants to obtain support from members of the Assem- bly. THE RESPONSIBILITY for electing the president was transferred from the students to MSA when MSA was estab- lished from the now-defunct Student Government Council several years ago. It was hoped the move would make the president more responsive to the As- sembly. Polling sites will open at about 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to election director Tim O'Neill. Students may vote at the following locations: * The fishbowl in Angell Hall " Geddes bus stop " Across from Huron Valley National Bank on N. University " Across from the Union on State Street. * Just south of the Engin. Arch (cor- ner of E. and S. University) " Corner of Monroe and Tappan At about noon, the above balloting station with the fewest votes cast will be moved to E. University St. near the Physics and Astronomy Building.

O'Neill said voters will be required to complete two sheets. On one, the student's ID number and academic unit will be recorded. This computer sheet will be run through a computer to detect students who voted twice or who are not actually enrolled in the Univer- sity~- Only in this case will the iden- tification sheet and the actual ballot be matched. Names of such illegal voters will be turned over to CSJ, said O'Neill. "You want to know who it was, who committed the crime," said O'Neill. Student government at Michigan has a history of ballot fraud.' Uncertified election results should be available by Thursday evening, said O'Neill. CSJ must certify the results before they become official. Carter ai* to lend sui been acting director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) since Lance resigned under fire in Septem- ber. As acting OMB head, McIntyre was responsible for packaging the 1979 budget, Carter's first full budget since taking office. THE CONTROVERSIAL budget has been rapped even by members of his own party. Private business does not think the program offers sufficient incen- tives, and the National Urban League has complained the budget ignores public works. "Ours is a budget that addresses the nation's most critical needs," McIntyre said. "This is not a stand-pat budget. It is anything but. It not only addresses our human and social needs, it does plenty about them." McIntyre said the Carter budget would increase spending for social ser- vices by $24 billion.

The plan will probably-give the central cities some flexibility as to how to spend federal dollars, as McIn- tyre emphasized "problems which your own city faces aren't necessarily those which other big cities face." "We have come to an understanding that there is no single set of urban problems relevant to all cities," McIn- tyre said. The budget director hinted the "Ur- ban Plan" may entail a "partners in development" approach. "This ap- proach would encourage the in- volvement of community groups and volunteer organizations and put significant pressure on the private sec- tor," he said. McINTYRE COUPLED his defense of the new budget with a ringing endor- sement of his boss, praising the president's "bold initiatives." "The president isn't one to forget his campaign promises and isn't a man who evades the hard, tough issues and problems facing the country," McIn- tyre said.

The president's bold-' ness is justified by the magnitude of the problems this country faces. Boldness has been in the service of prudence." McIntyre reiterated an old Carter' theme, saying "lessons of the past tell: us that massive amounts of money do not necessarily solve the problems that our cities face."

Five years later, after making over 50 different models and obtaining numerous other patents on them, Sholes sold his rights to the Reming- ton Arms Co., which further im- proved the machine and introduced it on the market. Continuing to perfect the machine for Remington, Shole$ wrote that "he was gratified to havq done something for women, who have always had to work so hard," IPC reports.
