Constitutional changes approved
Students reject computer fee
By JERRY MARKON
With approximately 26 percent of
the vote counted in the Michigan
Student Assembly's special election
last night, it appeared that the student
body had strongly supported changes
in the MSA Constitution and disap-
proved of the University's controver-
sial computer fee.
According to Bruce Belcher, a
representative from Rackham who
helped count ballots, 524 of the 654
students recorded as of late last night
had approved of MSA's constitutional
changes, which will revise the assem-
bly's existing committee and
representative structure.
UNDER THE new constitutional
plan, MSA will hold two elections each
year - as compared to one in the
present system - to facilitate
training and to insure that at least
some representatives always have
assembly experience.
The assembly also received ap-
proval for increasing the number of
assembly representatives by about 25
percent, a move MSA leaders have
said will allow them to work and con-
tact their constituents more efficien-
tly.
According to Belcher, 522 out of the
759 ballots counted as of late last night
had rejected the University's fee for
increased computer services.
Although over 2000 ballots in LSA
had yet to be counted, students in
other schools and colleges had over-
whelmingly voiced support for
student input to Universityscomputer
policy, with 687 out of 767 supporting
such input.
The Board of Regents approved last
September the plan to charge studen-
ts $50 next term and $100 each term
thereafter for expanded computer
services on campus. some students,
including MSA representatives, have
criticized the plan, saying the regent's
decision was arrived at without suf-
ficient student input.
The assembly's special election was
held in conjunction with LSA Student
Government elections yesterday and
Monday. The ballot also asked
students whether they supported the
University's computer fee, and sought
their feelings about student input in
University computer policy.

losses and said the Israeli planes were
driven away.
, AN ISRAELI army spokesman said
his nation's planes were intercepted
while on a routine reconnaissance
patrol over Lebanon.
"They tried to engage us," the
spokesman said, explaining why the
Israeli pilots made the decision to fire
air-to-air missiles at the Syrian
planes.
"The first that shoots wins," an
Israeli military source said. The
missiles hit their target with unerring
accuracy within seconds, he said.
Lebanese military sources, quoting
a Lebanese military report from the
Bekaa Valley air base at Rayak, said
the dogfight lasted only two minutes
and agreed it "Developed when the
Syrians tried to intercept the Israeli
jets."
MAJ. GEN. AMOS LAPIDOT, the
Israeli air force commander, said on
Israel radio that the battle began
when Soviet-built Syrian jets came
"Nearer than usual" to an Israeli
reconnaissance patrol flying over
Lebanon.
"In order to continue the battle and
not endanger our planes, we were for-
ced to stage a short battle with them
across the border," Lapidot said.
He said the Israeli F-15s were six
miles from Syria's border when the
battle began, but the Syrian fighters
had air-to-air missiles with twice that
range and could threaten Israeli
planes without leaving their own air
space.
In the last incident - on May 25
1983 - Syrian warplanes fired air-to-air
missiles at Israeli jets over Lebanon.
No hits were reported by the Israelis.
Israel television quoted Defense
Minister Yitzhak Rabin as saying
that, if the Syrians harassed recon-
naissance flights in the future, Israel
would retaliate. It said he made the
commentJewish fund raisers inLos
Angeles after the two MiGs were
downed.

BERLIN (AP) - A West Berlin art
expert said yesterday that the "The
Man with the Golden Helmet,"
believed for centuries to be the work
of Rembrandt, probably was painted
by one of the Dutch master's students.
The latest brochure from the
Kaiser - Friedrich Museum, which
owns West Berlin's most famous pain-
ting, lists it as the work of an
"unknown artist" from the Rembran-
dt era.
JAN KELCH, an art historian and
specialist in Dutch paintings, said
"The Man with the Golden
Helmet" probably was painted by one
of Rembrandt's students in about
1650.
IT WAS PAINTED with very thick
layers, almost like a relief work,
Kelch said, and Rembrandt never
used that method.
One difference is that the painting
does not appear to focus on the man as
its subject, he said. It depicts an
elderly man in armor, wearing a
feathered golden helmet, against a
murky background.
"The master always had people as
the central motif, while this painting
seems to be focusing on the armor,"
said Kelch, who in recent years has
restored "The Man with the Golden
Helmet" and others of West Berlin's
best-known art works.
Doubts about the painting's origin
were raised first in July by a Dutch
curators' commission visiting West
Berlin.
Correction
The Daily incorrectly identified the
person if$ a photograph with Jesse
Jackson yesterday. He is David Car-
tright, the executive director of
