Michael F. Brewer, director for governmental relations in the Office of Government and Community Affairs, who is out of the state, said two months ago that the clause allowing the University to demand an extra vote, although rarely exercised, is essential to the University's interests as a large property-holder...

Not to mention frustration levels.

Crawford also believes that national habits will change if Carter's plan is enacted: people will spend more time at home where they can turn...
