Sec- ondly, it would permit the Old Age and Survivors’ Insurance Trust Fund to borrow from the more ade- quately funded Disability Insurance and Health Insurance Trust Funds (interfund borrowing). These funds would have to be repaid with inter- est. Third, it would enlarge the Soc- ial Security Board of Trustees, and insure that its membership more adequately represents the int- erests of employers, employees and beneficiaries. The Michigan Senator said: “The changes | am proposing in this legis- lation will stabilize the financing of the Social Security trust funds for the immediate future and will pro- tect the system from becoming a pawn in the budget process of this and future administrations. These steps are urgently needed to restore the confidence of the American people in this vital program--a con- fidence that has been shaken by recent efforts to make unprecedent- ed and uncalled cuts in Social Secu- rity. i “Riegle, who on three different OLD MAN WINTER BY ELAINE WILS As we sit watching the autumn leaves drifting by the window. It sends a shiver down the spine just thinking of the word “drift’’”. The drifts will soon be coming, formed from those innocent fragile looking white flakes that pile up so quickly into snowbanks. This year, beware, you had bet- - ter get out your heaviest outerwear, - the size 13 socks Grandma knit, and babushkas. You occasions offered to restore the minimum Social Securi- ty benefit, said public - outrage against that particular cut finally forced its restoration. “‘The mini- mum benefit cut and these other attacks”, he said: “have needlessly frightened many of our older citi- zens, shaking their confidence. that Social Security will be there when they need it. The attacks have had the same effect on those now pay- ing into the program. | have and will’ continue to use every resource available to me to stop these attacks and keep the system safe in the fut- ure. The 1.4 million Michigan resi- dents receiving Social Security in one form or another consider it a contract with their government-- it has to be kept.” Mr. G Sparks assists in programing the new tech center computer. 4 NEWAPPLE COMPUTER: BY GEORGIA WHEELER A new Apple computer was re- “cently purchased for ACC's For- estry, Concrete and Electronics de- partment. Dave Dierking, Director for the Forestry dept., said that the 51-10 computer that was being used, was in too high of demand, so it was time to get another ‘com- puter. The new computer is small and will be mobile enough to be used between at least the three depart- ments. Dierking also said that the computer is part of the students training, in-knowing how, to work _withit. -s3 Money used to purchase the new unit came out of the three depart- ments budgets and cost approxi- mately $2500.00. may even have to consider snow- shoes or a team of huskies leading a dog sled. We all know good ole ACC stays Open, unless it is a snow blizzard not even fit for Eskimos. According to Engineer Manager Ken Apsey of the Alpena County. Road Commission, the financial sit- uation is so critical that there will be no overtime for road commis- sion employees to plow, except in response to severe life threatening emergencies and no weekend plow- ing. So with fingers crossed there may be a “‘few’’ extra snow days this coming winter. Shhhh--don’t tell anyone but, we heard in about mid-January even some of the fac- ulty, secretly wish for an occasional snow day. ; Campus Update will, in future issues attempt to give you helpful tips, just in case you’re caught in a winter emergency situation, list- ing both what should and should not be done for your safety until help arrives. In the meantime, let’s all sit back and hope we have a beautiful Indi- an summer, before the inevitable prevails upon us.
