VOLUME LXVI NO. 3S Legislature Seats R eapportioned By ANN FRYE In quick action Wednesday night, the UNC Student Council: 1) de clared Legislature's district reap portionment unconstitutional and 2) called Legislative representation a student privilege, not a right. In making these decisions, the Student Council for the first time in several years assumed its jur isdiction in determining the con stitutionality of legislation. After the Council's action, the Elections Board rearranged district Legislature seat to conform strict ly to population in the 13 districts.

First, Brooks questioned the con stitutionality of Legislature's re cent reapportionment of seats. He also wanted the Student Council to answer this question: can a stu dent who has been elected to a seat In the spring lose his seat in the fall through reapportion ment? Directives to both the Elections Board and Student Legislature came from the Council Tegarding the reapportionment Council. The Board was asked to and car ried out reapportion according to population. In declaring the Legislature-approved reapportionment null and void, the Council also rul ed that it does not have power to chance Legislative enactments. UNCONSTITUTIONAL " Article m of the Enactment Ap pendix to the Elections Laws, call ed unconstitutional, would trans fer legislative power to the judicial body, the Student Council. Jim Lon's. chairman of the Student Council. raid, the transfer of pow- the Article: -The tollnyrin appor , tionment shall bo anpllcable to the forthcoming election subject V chance by the Student Council." The decision of the Council on Brooks second question was that "holding office Is a privilege, not a right. Therefore, when neces sary, a person mav be removed from office through reapportion ment, without fuffcrlnj the loss of any right." Talent Show Is On Lookout For Students Enjoy singing in the shower?

POLICY SPELLED OUT Bob Furtado, chairman of the Board, yesterday spelled out form ally what has been the policy all along: that of allowing candidates who won their seats with the great est number of votes to have priori ty in retaining these seats.

In presenting changes in his bill, Brooks proposed that (1) student government pay for "the whole thing" except what the book's re gular income would be and the organizations indirectly connected with the student government. (2) student government appropriate the sum of $3,700 from general surplus for refunds to those or ganizations already having space in the 1958-59 Yack, (3) any sum of this amount not so used will go back to the general surplus and (4) the policy stated in the first article of the bill shall become effective for the 1959-60 Yack, with the sub mision of the Publication Board's report to the Budget Committee.

Professor Walter Arndt was speak ing of the rising enrollment at the University in Russian classes which has tripled in the past year, a trend which is growing over the country.

Dr. Crones Soeech Opens 1958 Forum - TTTi?'ld33'-53 Carolina Forum series open; tonight with an address by Dr. Henry Hitt Crane, Methodist church minister from Detroit, Mich. He will speak on "The Fate We Face" at 8 o'clock in Hill Hall to night. The speech is oDen to the public free of charge. An outspoken critic of the Repub lican administration's foreign policy, Dr. Crane will discuss three major alternatives confronting the United States.

One of the organizers of the Sane Nuclear Policy Committee, he has made previous statements about "the insanity of our present nuclear armament race and the suicidal na ture of our brinksmanship policy that inevitably involves the constant loading of more and more live bul lets into the chambers of Mr. Dulles' roulette revolver." The Methodist minister did his undergraduate work at Wesleyan TREND it in the "middle range" of those colleges and universities which are seeing a growth in Rus sian studies, according to Prof. Arndt. In comparison, he points out the increase shown by several of the Northeastern colleges. For example, Smith College has increased Rus sian enrollment from 17 to 100 stu dents in the past year, Bryn Mawr, nine to 41, and Wellesley, eight to 46.

FUTURE EMPHASIS As for a forecast of the future, Prof. Arndt says that progressive stages of development are hoped for. Future emphasis will be placed cn scientific development, study of literature, a reading. and translation course of literary progress in the country, and ultimately, an under graduate major in Russian. Under the director of Alexander Heard, dean of the graduate school at the University, a study is being undertaken to determine future pos sibilities for an area study to tie in with the Russian program.
