But Bo Schembechler anticipates no changes in the basir character of the Wolverines' offense. PLAINS, Ga. (AP) - President- elect Carter said yesterday he may recommend to Congress an eco- nomic stimulus package including both permanent and temporary tax cuts and some elements of tax re- form. "We're discussing as options a per- nanent tax reduction compatible with long-range reform plus the possibility of some temporary tax stimulus as well which would be only for one year," Car- ter said. HE SAID he will present the options to key Democratic members of Congress today and that if they reach "some com- patible understanding" he will announce the plan at that time. "'If there are some small elements that would obviously be part of an over- all tax reform package, we might very well include them at this early stage," Carter said. HE ADDED that a jobs-creation pro- gram remains his first priority and that whatever additional stimulus is needed will be in the form of a tax cut. Carter was not specific about the ele- ments of tax reform and declined to state the size of the economic stimulus pack- age under consideration. But he said his advisers will have projections for fiscal 1977 and 1978 with a rough esti- mate of the cost in future years. He said the package will be compat- ible with the long range goals for his administration and take into consider- ation such factors as preservation of the environment and energy conservation as well as the need to reduce unem- ployment and spur the lagging economy. CARTER'S incoming budget director, Thomas Lance, had said earlier that the new administration's program to stimu- late the economy should be limited to $15 billion in tax cuts and spending. Lance, who participated in the after- noon meeting, also mentioned the pos- sibility that tax cuts would amount to See CARTER, Page 2 $10 billion of the program. Carter staff aides presented the Pres- ident-elect and his advisers with a set of legislative proposals for fiscal 1978. Stuart Eizenstat, Carter's issues direc- tor, told reportersr the proposals range "from A to Z" and fulfill every cam- paign promise "that we can afford." He offered no specifics. In other developments: * Carter asked members of the Dem- ocratic National Committee to elect former Gov. Kenneth Curtis of Maine a party chairman. "I know he shares my strong belief that the Democratic party must belong to 'the people and not just the political figures," Carter said. Curtis is expected to be elected to the party post when members of the Demo- cratic National Committee meet Jan. 21 in Washington to elect new officers. Present chairman Robert Strauss is re- turning to his Dallas law practice. 0 Carter designated Sidney Harman, a See CARTER, Page 2 Defeat won't change Bo By BILL STIEG Some things never change - especially Michigan football and coach Bo Schem- bechler. Once again, the Wolverines failed to win the last game of the season, and once again, Schembechler sees nothing seriously wrong with his team. THIS TIME the season-ending sour note was a 14-6 loss to the University of Southdrn California (USC) in last Sat- urday's Rose Bowl. The year before end- ed with a 14-6 Orange Bowl loss. In his fight years at Michigan, Schembech- er's teams have compiled an 0-7-1 rec- orl in season-ending games. But Schembechler isn't worried. De- spite criticism from fans and the media oncerning Michigan's poor passing and pass defense, he's not going to change nything. "This is- the winningest program in he country - we're not going to make ny big changes," he said yesterday. We're always one of the best teams in GEO faces t arbitration ofcontract grievances By SUSAN ADES The 'University's graduate student as- sistants (GSA's) did not get a new con- tract for Christmas. The two grievances concerning the definition of research assistants (RAs) and staff assistants (SA's) filed by the Graduate Employes Organization (GEO) Aunder the last contract, are still stand- 'g in the way of a settlement. So, the "ew year marks the beginning of a sec- ond contractless term for some 1,400 GSAs. A DATE for arbi'ration of those dis- putes has finally been set -January 17 - and it is unlikely that an agree- ment will be signed before a decision is handed down, according to both sides. "There is no indication at this time that the situation will change," said GEO President Doug Moran, "but a good deal of time has elapsed since we last spoke to them (the University)." he added. Moran said he thinks the University will again ask GEO to drop the griev- ances, which charge that the adminis- tration illegally removed people from the union by changing the definition of RAs and SAs in certain department. BUT, Moran says, the union won't comply wi h the University's request un- til it "sees what the University has to the country and I think we'll continue that." ' MICHIGAN quarterback Rick Leach completed only four of 12 passes in the Rose Bowl, while USC's Vince Evans hit 14 of 20, including several third down completions that kept the Trojans mov- i- ; all afternoon. Many pinned the blame for Michigan's loss on the Wolverines' poor passing and pass defense. Similar complaints were lodged after -each of Michigan's losses over the past eight years. But Scheni- bechler predictably discounted the im- portaonce of the pass. "I don't care about the fans," he said' "We didn't throw very well, but it wasn't the passing that beat us. It, was our failure to possess" the football in the second half. Our defense had to play too much and we got tired. (USC) is a strong, capable team that moved the ball. "WE WILL make no great changes. We figure our passing attack is better this year than last year, and we hope to make the same improvement again for next year. But the important thing is that there are other areas besides passing where we have to improve. We have to improve several aspects of our game, and passing is just one of them," Schembechler added. Some blamed Michigan's inability to pass on the "option" offense for the loss. The quarterback is the key to the option plays, and so, the critics say, he must practice his running and pitching at the expense of his passing. Leach himself said after the Rose Bowl, "I think I would be more effec- tive if I passed more during the early part of the season." But no changes are planned. "IT'S ABSURD to think we'd abandon the most prolific offense in the coun- try," Schembechler said. "Had we ex- ecuted the offense as it should have been, we would have won the game. We'll work on improving our passing, but not at the expense of our offense." Schembechler said nothing about Leach's comment.. Michigan's pass defense also came un- der attack after the gamed As usual, the Wolverines laid off the opponent's re- ceivers, allowing short passes but pro- tecting against the bomb. Quarterbacks, the thinking goes, won't be able to hit the short passes with enough consistency to sustain a drive. Evans, however, did just that. "EVANS HAD a helluva day," said Schembechler. "He had THE day. He hit what he had to hit. "But there were a lot of factors in- See BO, Page 7 AP Photo President elect Jimmy Carter reviews facts and figures given to him yesterday by his economic advisors at a meeting in Plains, Ga.

Meanwhile, Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter Kr'sny now believes that there may be two people responsible for the assaults.

THERE is, however, a "peculiar" similarity in general description and clothing attire of the attacker(s), he said. The suspect(s) wear a drab olive green pocket length "snorkel jacket" with a fur trimmed hood. Usually, a inning short knit stocking cap is worn- under- neath the hood and sometimes a ski mask is used over the eyes. Krasny, who has a number of pblice still working in specific areas around the city with two detectives doing fol- low-up investigations on new informa- tion, warned: "We can't let our guard down. too far just because it (another assault) hasn't happened for three weeks."

While total .minori'y enrollment declined in seven schools and colleges, according to figures made public at the Dec. 16 Re- gents meeting. " Associate Vice President for Academ- ic Affairs Richard English, who pre- sented the report to the Board, said he saw "a reflection of some progress" de- spite data which showed black enroll- ment up this fall only two-hundredths of one percentage point over 1975-76: 7.23 per cent to 7.25 per cent, repre- sevting a net gain of 13 black students. English shied away from drawing any conclusions about what he referred to as a "stable enrollment" among black stu- dents. He pointed out that while the col- lege-age population is expected to de- cline during the last quarter of this cen- tury, "there is the expectation that there will be an increase in the birth rate of minorities. They'll be there." Other minority groups showed dis- cernable, if not dramatic, enrollment gains this fall, according to the report. Spanish surnamed Americans showed the largest increase with 105 more stu- dents enrolled this fall than in 1975, bringing their total to 465.
