Action On Red Hot Redistrict Plan Wrangle
Due In Student Legislature Meeting Tonight
By Siuart Jones
One of the "hottest" sessions in
history of the Student Legislature
may take place tonight' with final
action due on the long controver
sial , redistricting plan.
The pending bill, introduced by
David Kerley at the Legislature's
last meeting, would amend the
general elections law to provide
for two men's town districts, the
first embracing all fraternity res
idents, and the second including
all other off -campus residents.
The question of redistricting,
which is just coming to a boil,
has seen little action up till now
due to the lack of strength of its
supporters in the Legislature. The
two campus parties have lined
up generally with the Student
Party favoring passage and the
University Party opposing it. ,

this act would at least alleviate
the present distribution fallacy.
"A very great evil exists in al

representatives for nearly .2000
students to the Legislature, and
immediate steps are needed to
remedy such a condition," said
Kerley. "The present election

1948, are not at all sufficient to
insure the democratic rights as
sumed evident under the consti
tution," he added.
Opposition, which is spearhead
ed by Ed Gross, floor leader of
the UP, stated that though an evil
does exist in the election laws,
the present bill is not the solution
to the problem. Gross . agrees,
that "there is injustice in the
present distribution, but such a
measure as this can only be in
efficient and Of no value, and will
only tend to replace one evil
with another."
Gross went on to say, T would
be more than willing to sit down
with Kerley and work out a rea

would be just to all." He admit-

for five members at large, was

Pointing to past elections, Gene

charges that the legislative dis
tricting has discouraged partici
pation in Student Government
activities . on the part of large
numbers of town students. He
said, "In the two town men's, dis
tricts, "a block vote has kept the
majority of voters .from going to
the polls. Only about 25 per cent
of the students in those districts
participate in T elections, whereas

With the U.P. holding, only a

Legislature, most non-partisan
observers believe that 'the vote
will probably be decided by the

endorsed legislators.

yesterday said that all the reg
