Page 6 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1978 Senate proposes additional seats A change to add more seats to the handicapped section at home football games was proposed at the first Student Senate meeting Wednesday night. The proposed bill would add two more rows of courtesy seats to the already existing six rows on the upper level of Kyle Field. Senate members will vote on the bill at the next meeting Sep tember 20. Change of fall election dates was also proposed. The proposal was voted down by senate mem bers . Advocates of the change suggested the elections be held October 12, with filing beginning September 26, and ending Oc tober 4. The original dates of September 28 for the election, and September 12-19 for filing will remain. Congress returns ■mgm Furious fall ahead DON’T EVEN THINK OF BUYING A NEW CAR UNTIL YOU’VE ORDERED ONE FROM United Press International WASHINGTON — Members of Congress streamed back from vaca tion today, facing an impossibly full calendar and an autumn of discord and debate ending sometime next month in a preelection adjournment rush. For President Carter, today marks the start of a furious few weeks in which some of the major legislative programs of his first two years in office will pass muster or die. Either this week or next, the House will try to override Carter’s veto of a $36.9 billion defense ap propriations bill, and vote on the president’s prized civil service re form proposal. At the same time, the Senate fi nally voted on the 17-month-old natural gas pricing bill, which has a history of bipartisan opposition and called up a $94.5 billion Health, Education and Welfare appropria tion bill certain to spark the annual debate over federal fiinding of abor tions for the poor. That’s just the beginning. Before adjournment, which everyone hopes will come in time to let members campaign for re- election or for higher office, dozens of other unresolved issues must be enacted or killed before time runs out on the 95th Congress. In the Senate, that means the threat and possibly the use of filibusters on controversial mea sures. The first test for Carter comes Thursday when the House votes on the veto override.

RED HOT DELIVERY -V to the huge appropriation because it contained $2 billion for a nuclear aircraft carrier he said is unneeded. House leaders predict carrier sup porters cannot get the two-thirds vote needed to override. After that, the House will call up revision of the civil service system, which passed the Senate 87-1 but faces more than 100 amendments in the House. The administration will try to knock out a section attached to it by pro-labor members that woidd allow federal workers to participate in political campaigns. If that section is retained. Carter may see his pet project go down the drain, since leading Senate proponents have threatened to filibuster any attempt to pass the House version. The Senate next week is likely to take action on the natural gas bill, on which Carter has staked his pride, his prestige abroad and his personal energies in recent weeks. Aides believe that despite much public criticism, they have the votes to pass it. But the outcome will Ik* close. It is the same issue that caused a three-week filibuster last fall. Now an impressive array of conservatives and liberals oppose it, for widely dif ferent reasons, and are calling on Carter to abandon his goal of a un ified energy package and consider each of its five* parts on individual »«» • •nr Mamu *«*■■■ MM* NMa .
