How MSA uses your money
Emporium: kawking hocus-pocus
i
(Continued from Page 1)
fact that sudents are being of-
fered the option of not paying
the MSA fee. This practice of
".volunteer funding" began for
MSA last September.
Between 1971 and 1975, various
officers of SGC-MSA's prede-
cessor-were charged with mis-
use of more than $60,000 worth
of Council funds and fraud in
almost every election. Some de-
fended themselves virulently
against embezlement charges
with such proclamations as Bill
Schaper's, treasurer in 1972: "I
rigged- elections, I screwed peo-
ple left and right, but I never,
never took money."
SGC at theendof 1975 after a
USA rose from the ruins of
string of financial and electoral
misdoings which had most of
the campus questioning the va-
lidity of student government.
STUDENT ASSEMBLY offi-
ficials prepared a $33,700 bud-
get this year, based on projec-
tions of how many students will
donate their 75 cent share.
The projected total iL sent to
the University's Student Ac-
counts Office, which loans MSA
the money. When bills are paid,
the MSA loan is paid back di-
rectly through the students. If
the total of the actual income of
funds differs from the projected
total, the figures are balanced
later, according to MSA Budget
Priorities Committee Chairman
G.. J. DiGiuseppe.
DiGiuseppe points out that
MSA's revenues and expendi-
tures are not as complex as they
sound.
FOR EXAMPLE, from a $33,-
700 budget, one-third-or $11,200
-goes into a category labeled
"o'ffice." This money covers
salaries, telephone charges, sta-
tionery, equipment, postage and
insurance.
6,400 dollars, or 20 percent of
the budget, is set aside for fall
and winter MSA elections.
Money is set aside for several
internal committees, such as
the Student Organizations Board
and Central Student Judiciary,
(CSJ); and for audits and ad-
vertising.
AN ADDITIONAL $5,100 is
channeled into "special proj-
ects" such as the MSA News-
letter and Child Care Action
Center. Funds are also used to
finance affiliation with Michi-
gan's S.A.L.T. (Students Asso-
ciated for Lower Tuition).
The remainder of the $33,700
budget, over $8,100, is available
as a surplus. MSA uses it for
"external" allocations - money
doled out to student groups qua-
lified to receive it.
The final decision on how to
distribute the MSA budget is
left to elected representatives
on the student assembly.
There are other, more direct
benefits which students may de-
rive from contributing to the
MSA purse.
Each semester, students are
offered MSA sponsored Health
Insurance. The Assembly also
arranges for voter registration,
runs personnel selection com-
mittees which place students in
positions within the University,
and funds the Student Organiza-
tions Office - responsible for
scheduling events at University
facilities.
MSA HAS its own legal staff
which not only offers personal
counsel, but works on campus
discrimination cases as well.
Last year, MSA's Housing Re-
form Project produced and cir-
culated the booklet, "How to
Evict Your Landlord".
And apart from all this, MSA
reoresentatives serve as offi-
cial liaisons between students
and administration,
Desoite the availability of the
benefits, few students take ad-
vantage of them. According to
the MSA office, about 700 stu-
dents-20 percent of the student
body-utilized the Health Insur-
ance program in the 1975-76 aca-
demic year.
Still. when it came time to
pay for MSA last semester, four
out of five students shelled out
their 75 cents.

a possible setback for any wage
or benefits agreements already
made.
Local 1583 should not be sur-
prised when its initial economic
proposal is rejected by the Uni-
versity, Neff said. The Univer-
sity team has already seen the
union's proposal.
"If they've had their ears to

tions over the past months, they
would know 'what the money

THE UNION'S proposal "is not
reasonable based on the present

NEW DELHI, India (P)-
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
picked a new Supreme Court
chief justice yesterday and set
off a furor by passing over the
ranking judge, who had deliv-
ered the lone dissent against her
government in a landmark civil
liberties case.
Justice Hans Raj Khanna,
whom Gandhi bypassed, re-
signed from the 13-member Su-
preme Court bench in protest
as opposition politicians alleged
he had been victimized for his
frequent independent judgments.
A SPOKESPERSON for the
Supreme Court Bar Association,
which had adopted a resolution
urging the prime minister to
follow seniority and name Khan-
na, said its officers would boy-
cott the swearing in -today of
Mirza Hameedullah Beg, the
second ranking judge, as chief
justice.
Supreme Court lawers said
Beg had almost consistently
voted in the government's favor
in key cases.
Reacting to the uproar caused
by the appointment, Law Min-
ister H. R. Gokhale issued a
statement maintaining t h a t
Khanna was passed over be-
cause he was only five months
and five days from the manda-
tory retirement age of 65 while
Beg has 13 months to go.
PRESIDENT Fakhruddin Ali
Ahmed, acting on the advice of
the prime minister, formally ap-
pointed Beg on the eve of the
retirement of the outgoing chief
juitice, Ajit Nath Ray.
Gandhi had named Ray in a
similar manner in 1973, bypass-
ing three Supreme Court judges
who were senior to him. They
all resigned in protest and the
bar association boycotted the
Supreme Court for a day.
Khanna dissented last April
in a 4-1 Supreme Court ruling
that upheld the government's
contention that political prison-
ers had no right to challenge
their detention, even through a
habeas corpus petition, while
key sections of the constitution
remained suspended under the
p r i m e nminister's emergency
rule.
Beg sided with the majority
on the special five-man bench.

how Ford would contribute to
IPPS and the political science
department if he accepts the ap-
pointment.
Jacobson would like to see
Ford lecture in classes on Con-
gress and the presidency -
speaking for a half an hour, and
then fielding students' questions
during the remaining class time.
Jacobson forsees problems
with scheduling Ford's lectures
if he accepts the invitation. If
Ford's lectures were announced
in advance, it is probable that
the auditoriums would be so
jammed with people wanting to
hear the former president that
students registered for the
classes would have difficulties
getting in.
"I just don't know how we're
going to handle it," Jacobson
said.
Like Jacobson, Grassmuck is
hopeful that Ford will accept the
professorship, but he cautions
that the position is "still in the
offering." Ford has not made
a formal acceptance, and as
Grassmuck points out, "it takes
two to tango."

ward, promising' to create still

Frigid temperatures for a sec-
ond week have overtaxed fuel
reserves in most areas east of
the Rockies. The Federal Power
Commission said yesterday that
interstate gas pipelines report
an estimated 8,900 industrial
plants closed and 548,000 work-
ers laid off.
President Jimmy Carter's en-
ergy adviser, James Schlesin-
ger, urged Congress yesterday
to quickly enact a bill that
would help the gas shortage by
making it easier to move sup-
plies across state lines.
\SCHLESINGER SAID some
homes could start losing their
natural gas heat in the next few
days if the cold weather con-
tinues.
The statement by Schlesinger
came as the House and Senate
began considering whether to
give Carter emergency authority
to ration natural gas during the
worst winter in years.
Pennsylvania Gov. M i 1 t o n
Shapp supported the legislation
but urged Carter to undertake
an investigation to determine "if
the current shortage is real or
contrived.
"We want to know if produ-
cers are simply holding out for
higher prices. I am disturbed by
gas company ads I have seen
that say if you raise the price,
the gas will flow. For if that is
really the case, we are indeed
being blackmailed. . .."
AN INTERSTATE natural gas
supplier asked its utility custo-
mers along the Eastern Sea-
board-an area with a popula-
tion of 35 million-to immedi-
ately shut off services to its
nonessential customers in order
to conserve dwindling supplies.
And Michigan Gov. William
Milliken said yesterday in Lan-
sing he will not volunteer to
send Michigan fuel to neighbor-
ing Ohio' to open up industry
idled by the energy crisis there.
The nation's auto industry also
sputtered to a crawl as more
than 125,000 auto workers were
given the day off. General Mo-
tors, alone,asaid nearly 100,000
workers were affected, most of
tllem in Indiana and Ohio.
MEANWHILE, severe weather
caused the cancellation of sev-
eral sporting events scheduled
for this weekend. Last night's
National Basketball Association
game between the B u f f a l o
Braves and the Cleveland Cava-
liers was postponed.
Amtrak cancelled 28 train runs
yesterday, including several
which run through Detroit, be-
cause of heavy snows and bitter
cold.
The cancellations, which af-
feet more than 10 per cent of
Amtrak's trains, came on top
of last week's suspension of eight
lightly travelled routes because
of rigid weather.
ALSO, the Edison Electric In-
stitute reported that electric out-
put for the week ended. Jan. 22
was 45.6 billion kilowatt-hours,
the highest weekly total eve
achieved. It represented an in-
crease of nearly 12 per cent ove
the comparable week in 1976,
the institute said. The previous
record was set last week.
Canada was not spared either.
Southwestern Ontario was poind
ed for the second day by high
winds and blowing snow. Stu-
dents were sent home early in
some cities and most rural
areas, and factories closed.
