You could remove it and get a light that has a short downrod. Post a few pictures and maybe we'll have some more ideas.
You can remove it and use the same wiring to install a square surface mount light. It will cover the opening.

If it's from the 70's, I am assuming that it is florescent? When it is removed, what size is the cavity in the ceiling?
The fastest and easiest way to 'update' it, is to simply replace it with an integrated LED fixture.
