Professor plans By Susanne Hathaway USC associate professor William Kreml is running for president, but he said he does not expect to win. Kreml, of the government and international studies department, said he is using his campaign to encourage constitutional reform, but emphasizes that any revision should be moderate. "Eighteenth century government can't compete today. The founding fathers were wise, but the document, unfortunately, is out of date in several ways," Kreml said. Although Kreml said he does not expect to win, he said he wants to educate people about necessary changes for the Conctitiitinn Knnanca it ic nn Innrtnr o ivnrlrind iJVlIrtlVlVll MVVUU?JV ll> li9 Iiv IVII5VI U TfVI mug document. There has been "a stalemate in policy with the framework of the present Constitution," Kreml said. He said he hopes his campaign will change this. KREML SAID changes in the Constitution will do many things, but principally they should give the United States a more competitive economy. He said constitutional reform is necessary to make the United States a competitor in the world economy. "The world economy is a more com 4:4: u u ?? pcuuve pmce uuw man it uas cvw uccu, Kreml said. The United States "has run up against systems which are better prepared to maximize their productivity. The present government is not capable of coming up with a comprehensive policy." He said the American economy can no longer be the best producer of every good and service.

He describes a constitutional convention as an invitation to extremism and favors the traditional amendment process as the vehicle for change. KREML, A 1962 GRADUATE of Northwestern University, said "government is very stifling," and that creative ideas for reform generally come from outside the government. He said the academic community is where innovative ideas are best generated. "The movement (toward constitutional change) has started in South Carolina to get national attention" Kreml said, but added that New England is "a small, concentrated area with lots of colleges." He said he hopes this new campaign will enable him to "talk about constitutional reform at the national level." Kreml, who earned his doctorate from Indiana University in 1972, plans to enter the six Democratic primaries in New England and hold forums to explain the con- . stitutional changes he feels are necessapr. Faculty members of various universities | will then explain how these changes could work to improve the economy and the political system. Kreml said he would like the United States to develop a parliamentary system similar to West Germany's and Japan's. He said these governments have been able to make modern decisions that the United States is not capable of making. led Knot Abused Shop I (Consignment Shop) | j IS Diamond Lane [ i (Next to Sam Solomon) j See Us First For Jeans 1 798-1508 J C\ TU*> 1 UL JL J& IV J L/ across fro r ?
