I r - A Court Wants House Based OnPopulation Could In validate 398 Of 435 Seats WASHINGTON (UPD The Supreme Court ruled Monday in a. far-reaching decision that the Constitution requires that states to draw up their U. S. congres sional districts on an equal pop laticn basis. The vote was six to three. In a sharp dissent, Justice John M. Harlan asserted that the ruling in a Georgia case could "put in serious jeopardy if not invalidate" 398 of the pre sent 435 seats in the House. Harlan commented: "I had not expected to witness the day when the Supreme Court of the United States wculd render a decision which casts grave doubt on the constitutionality of the composition of the House of Representatives." Justice Hugo L. Black, speak ing for the majority, indicated doubt that the impact of the ruling would be as drastic as Harlan claimed. Black said it might not be possible to set up congressional districts with "mathematical pre cision" as to population. But he held "that is no excuse for ignoring our constitution's plain objective of making equal representation for equal numbers of people the fundamental goal for the House of Representatives." In overturning a lower court ruling which held that the issue was for Congress rather than the judiciary to settle, Black said the Georgia apportionment "grossly discriminates." Georgia's congressional dis tricting under a 1962 law had been challenged by. two Atlan tans, James P. Westberry Jr., and Candler Crim Jr., who claim ed it discriminated unfairly against city voters. They stressed that the Fifth Congressional District in which they lived contained more than 20 per cent of the state's popu lation.

The six to eight week basic training program involves langu age and area studies in four areas: 1) English teaching in English speaking countries 2) English teaching in Latin America (Spanish) 3) English teaching in French speaking countries 4) Community development in Latin America. Because of the limited number of applicants for this Senior Year Program, only these four areas will be open for summer trainees The community development in struction is offered to unskilled college students for Latin Amer ica only. The Latin American countries have the skilled labor for com munity projects but need the or ganization of the volunteers.

The organization, established in 1936 but discontinued in 1954, is credited with being the most stimulating and active group ever to appear on the Carolina campus. The CPU began with ideas for mulated by a group of friends in a political science class. After studying political unions at Ox ford, Cambridge and Harvard, the group drafted a constitution providing for a limited member ship with the purpose of discus sing political questions and bringing to the campus outstand ing representatives of varying political and social viewpoints. It brought speakers to Caro lina ranging from Franklin D. Roosevlt and Earl Browder to a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. It is also credited with the founding of the YDC and the YRC on campus. The group was discontinued in 1954 due to a difficulty in secur ing speakers.
