United Press International Servica
: Redistricting -I
What Is It? !
Editor's Note: Many students have asked us to print
an analysis of the redisricting controversy which is
now before the special session of the State Legisla
ture. The following, written by Joe Doster, UNC grad
uate and Phi Beta Kappa, is reprinted from the Charl
otte Observer.
Power.
The power to decide who shall pay taxes and who
shall not.
The power to decide how the revenues of the state
will be distributed.
The power to make and change laws.
That's what the fight over redistricting is all about.
It is a fight over whether the vote of a Martin Coun
ty resident shall continue to be worth several times
that of a Mecklenburg resident.
It is a fight over whether far less than a majority
of the people of the state will continue to control both
houses of the N. C. Legislature.
Control of the Legislature is important because, in
large measure, it is control of the state.
North Carolina's General Assembly is the most power
ful state legislature in the nation.
North Carolina governors have no executive veto to
block legislative acts, and because a governor cannot
succeed himself he cannot build up extensive political
power to use as a club over the Legislature.
Piedmont Settlers First To Complain
A fight for control of the Legislature is not new in
V- North Carolina.
It has been going on since settlers first moved
into the Piedmont and mountain sections of the state
and started complaining about political control remain
ing in the coastal areas in the East where settlement
first began.
As more and more people settled in the Piedmont
and West, the Easterners in the Legislature created
new counties and gave the people representation in the
Legislature.
Whenever they created a hew "Piedmont or Western
county, they divided an Eastern county into two coun
ties. This kept the East in control.
In more recent times the struggle for legislative
power has not been a strict East-West .struggle but a
struggle between the smaller counties in the far East
and far West and the faster growing counties in the
Piedmont.
The N. C. Constitution gives control of the House
of Representatives to the smaller counties, but con
trol of the Senate is supposed to depend on population.
Senate district lines are supposed to be redrawn
following each 10-year census so that population shifts
would be reflected in the Senate.
Majority Elected By Minority
A majority of the 120 House members can be elected
by only 27.1 per cent of the people of the state.
This is possible because each of the state's 100 coun
ties no matter how .small the county might be gets
at least one representative.
The remaining 20 members are parcelled out on the
basis of population.
If all 120 members were distributed on a population
basis, each would represent 37,968 people.
But under the rule giving at least one to each county
a legislator from Tyrrell County represents only 4,520
people while the legislator from Wayne County repre
sents 82,059.
Accordingly the vote of a Tyrrell County resident in
the House is worth about 20 times as much as the vote
of a Wayne County resident.
The Senate is almost as weighted against the larger
counties as is the House.
It takes only 36.9 per cent of the state's population to
elect a majority of the 50 Senate members.
If the Senate districts were drawn strictly on popu
lation, each senator would represent about 91,123 peo
ple. Under the present alignment, districts vary widely.
For instance, the 29th District composed of Watauga,
Alleghany and Ashe counties contains 45,031 people.
Senate Vote Out Of Proportion
The 20th District, Mecklenburg County, has 272,111
people but also elects one senator.
Only 13 of the 50 senators represent a population
range within 10,000 of the 91,123 ideal. Only 21 of the
50 represent a population range within 20,000 of the
ideal. it
To bring all Senate districts into line with the popu
lation requirements of the constitution would mean a
shift of power from the smaller counties in the East
and West to the larger and fast-growing counties of the
Piedmont section.
The Eastern and Western legislators who are now
in control of the legislature have had the power to
block efforts of the Piedmont to bring about a redistricting.
Fleishman To
Student Party
Joel Fleishman, Legal Assist
ant to Governor Terry Sanford,
will address the Student Party
tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the Ro
land Parker Lounge of Graham
Memorial on "The Tradition of
the Student Party."
SP Chairman Neal Jackson
yesterday said, "We are very
pleased to be able to have Joel
address the Party. Certainly
there is n6 one who is better
qualified to speak on the tradi
tions of the Student Party than
Joel, for he did so much to shape
them."
Fleishman was chairman of
the Student Party in 1954. While
here he was also chairman of
the Carolina Forum, a member
of the Order of the Grail and a
member of the Golden Fleece,
the highest men's honorary on

For Symposium
What are the peculiar prob
lems in American society being
caused by our present attitude
toward armaments? This is the
question which the 1964 Carolina
Symposium proposes to pose, and
to which it will direct the focus
of its week of speakers, panels,
and discussions next April.
The full title for this intellec
tual explosion will be "Arms and
the Man: National Security and
the Aims of a Free Society." Lec
tures and panels now in prepara
tion will include individual free
dom and collective security, the
garrison state, the moulding of
the public mind, education's re-"
sponse to the Cold War, and
others.
Interviews are being held at
the Symposium Office on the
second floor of Y-Court beginning
today through Thursday for eight
committees. Any interested sut
dents should fill out an applica
tion form, which can be obtained
at the Symposium office, Graham
Memorial, or the Y office.
Next spring's Symposium will
be the thirteenth observance of
what is now a biennial event of
interest to a wide segment of the
North Carolina public. Partici
pation in this program will be an
opportunity for a close association
with men of distinction in many
walks of national affairs.
Erickson
Won't Speak
Chuck Erickson, Athletic Di
rector of the University, will
not speak before the University
Party tonight, (Mike Chanin, UP
chairman, reported Monday.
Erickson is expected to speak at
a later date.
Chanin said, "Due to a failure
of communication between the
party chairman and the party
public relations director, it was
erroneously reported that Erick
son would speak tonight."
The UP will conduct a reg
ular business meeting tonight at
8 p.m. in Gerrard Hall.
Foremost on the agenda will
be the election of a party treas
urer and a sergeant-at-arms to
fill vacant UP offices.
The revised by-laws of the
party will also be introduced.
Announcement of new legislators
to fill UP vacancies in the Stu
dent Legislature is also expect
ed. Chanin said, "There is much
business that the party must
deal with before we can really
begin to undertake our fall pro
gram. Several persons have ex
pressed interest in running for
one of the two open positions and
I exnect a very interesting
race.

Civil Rights Bill
Hearings In SL
By HUGH STEVENS
The Ways and Means Commit
tee of Student Legislature will
hold hearings tomorrow on a bill
calling for "individual commit
ment to the attainment of equal
rights."
The bill was introduced by
Neal Jackson at last Thursday's -special
session of the Legisla
ture. This bill calls the attainment
of equal rights "probably the
most significant social issue fac
ing the United States." It goes
on to say that the attainment of
such rights "can come only
through individual action by each
American in his own sphere of
activity, and the student has a
definite role to play in effecting
the more perfect realization of
those principles and ideals of a
democratic society ..."
The resolution also calls for
a special legislative committee
"to gather information regarding
discriminatory practices in the
University, if any, and . . . sub
mit its findings no later than
January 1, 1964."
Jackson announced yesterday
that the Ways and Means Com
mittee will meet Wednesday at
6:30 p.m. in the Woodhouse
Room to hear student comments
on the resolution.
"We have invited such people
as John Dunne, SPU leader, and
Armistead Maupin, an outspoken
conservative, to air their views
on this matter," he said.
"Anyone else who is interested
may come and speak, and we

Jackson said. "Anyone will be
given 10 minutes for opening
statements and then the com

"We want to know how all
types of groups feel about this

welcome to speak."
"It is our intention in intro
ducing the bill to arouse the
thoughts of students on this is

get issues such as this before the
public and find out their opin

Jackson indicated that the reso

Legislature before the October 24
meeting.
Price Cut
Carolina Playmakers will cut

their opening night performance
of "Little Mary Sunshine" on
Tuesday, Oct. 22.
This experimental price cut
will save students half the regu

popular reception, policy of re
duced prices for other opening
night performances will con
tinue for the rest of the season.
Tickets for the performance,
which will be for students only,

Then the entertainment began.
"As soon as I wet my nose,

High Court Begins Sit-in Cases
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
Supreme Court began hearing
pro-and-con arguments Monday
on a series of Negro "sit-in"
appeals that center on whether
a private business owner has
the right to bar customers be
cause of race.
In essence, the issue that is
being debated by the court in
the first oral argument of the
new term is the controversial
storm center of President Ken
nedy's civil rights bill which
would make it unconstitutional
for a businessman to deny serv
ice to anyone because of race.

BIRMINGHAM ( UPI ) Mayor
Albert Boutwell said Monday

way to employ even one Negro
officer by the deadline one week

tin Luther King Jr., as the price
for refraining from new racial
demonstrations.

Up until this year there was
no comprehensive study on this
subject.
Now the results of a question-
naire passed around to all 10
a.m. Monday, Wednesday, Fri-
day classes last April have been
released.
"We are very happy with the
results of the study," says Whit-
ney Durand, chairman of the
Men's Council. "A great deal has
come out about the student view
of the system and its operation.
"Some of the results are some-
what discouraging but most of
it seems to indicate the effec-
tiveness of the honor system."
Impetus for the study came
last spring from Grant Wheeler,
then chairman of the Men's
Council and now assistant to the
Dean of Men.
"I wanted to have the study
done to be some aid to the Honor
Council as well as for my own
personal reasons," Wheeler said.
"There was serious question in
my own mind as to whether the
Honor System could work in a
university as big as this.
"I was also curious as to the
effectiveness of the Campus
Code and how students felt about
the apartment rule."
Wheeler, with the help of At-
torney General Buzzy Stubbs,
went to the Sociology Depart-
ment with a list of questions he
wanted to ask the students.
There he received help on how
the questions should be drawn up
and what answers should be
made available on the multiple

Sanford's
Speech
Praised
RALEIGH (UPI) The General
Assembly of North Carolina con
vened in extraordinary session
to consider Senate redistricting
Monday with the administration
drawing a pat hand after a dis
cordant opening.
Gov. Terry Sanford's bill to
realign senate seats for the first
time in 22 years went into bom
houses with more than enough
signatures to assure passage
after administration floor leaders
maneuvered around opposition to
reapportionment under the pres
ent constitution.
Sanford urged the special ses
sion to redistrict the senate at
once under the present constitu
tion, but he did not recommend
a constitutional amendment to
reapportion the entire legislature.
The speech drew praise from
the lawmakers and Republicans
indicated they may support the
Governor.
The key test came in the sen
ate where small county lawmak
ers long have held command, but
administration floor leaders suc
cessfully limited consideration of
bills this session to measures
dealing only with redistricting. A
similar situation arose in the
House, when an attempt was
made to amend the restrictive
rule, but it was defeated easily.
After Sanford addressed the
legislature and no citizen ap
peared to speak at a public hear
ing on the bill, administration
leaders felt a test vote could be
taken Tuesday, with final ap
proval following Wednesday.

Discussions
Start Here
Members of Carolina's judicial
system Monday night began an
extensive program to canvass
every men's iiving unit on the
campus to discuss the Honor
System.
Men's Council Chairman
Whitney Durand reported that
six discussion groups, composed
of two representatives of the
Men's Council and one of the
Women's Council cadi, will be
working simultaneously to carry
out the program. He said he ex
pected to finish the program in
five or six weeks.
Durand said discussion would
be centered around the Campus
Code, including a re-definition of
it, and a talk cn the philosophy
and penalties of the Honor Code.
He added that "we don't plan
to alter the wording or meaning
of the Campus Code, but just to
clarify it."
Discussions will be conducted
at 10:15 p.m. in dormitories and
7 p.m. in fraternities, Durand
said.
About 16 members of the
Men's Council, nine members cf
the Women's Council and two
members of the Attorney Gen
eral's Staff will be participating
in the program.
A tentative schedule for the
next ten days calls for discus
sions at the Chi Psi Lodge to
