U.S. Senate WASHINGTON (AP) - The Elec- toral College method of electing presidents, alternately denounced as a "great game of chance" and defended as a "proven, revered system," was upheld by the Senate yesterday. A proposed constitutional amen- dment to abolish the office of elector and have presidents chosen by direct, popular vote fell short of the required two-thirds majority. The vote was 51-48 in favor of the amendment, 15 votes shy of the necessary two-thirds.

Council, EDC discuss guidelines (ontinued from Page 3 the guidelines were tightened up now. Council member Sheldon said yesterday both Council and the EDC had agreed that certain projects are obvious candidates for EDC funding, such as the proposed renovation of Arborland, an aging shopping cen- ter. But others, he said, were surrounded by questions that remained unresolved, even after Monday's meeting. ACCORDING TO Sheldon and other council and EDC members, issues still up in the air include: e Should the EDC fund projects that might receive funding elsewhere? Councilman Bell, for example, said he thought of the EDC as an inducement for new business, not as an alternative source of fun- ding for business. - The EDC should consider looking at a group of projects and then picking the best of the group for funding instead of considering each project individually, Councilman Kenneth Latta (D-First Ward) said. - The EDC and City Council should not work at cross purposes, with the city rezoning land for types of businesses not eligible for EDC funding, while the EDC tries to-at- tract another type of venture, ac- cording to Susan Greenberg (D- First Ward). - EDC board member Frenza said the EDC should consider cooperating with other EDC's in outlying townships, so the com- munities do not compete to attract the same businesses in the future.
