Final arguments and deci sions will be made on the question of representation for the new student government of the University at the meet ing of the Constitutional Con vention on Sunday afternoon. The meeting will be at 2:15 p.m. in the Student Union. The representation question centers on whether the new government should have its members elected through the colleges they belong to or through the district in which they live. Nearly four hours of discus sion on the subject took place at last week's meeting, but the voting on the question was tabled until Sunday. Outline Programs The Convention's subcom mittees on each system out lined the programs they favor and their reasons for favoring them at last week's meeting. the student body into six dis tricts in determining repre sentation. These districts would be: 1) Ag Campus, which would include all stu dents, both Greek and inde pendent, who live east of 33rd Street. 2) Lincoln students, composed of all students, af filiated and unaffiliated, whose permanent home ad dress is in Lincoln. 3) Fra ternities, including all s t u dents who live in a fraternity house on city campus. 4) Sororities. 5) Residence halls, a dis- tion. The delegates later de cided to delay the question of the voting system to be used in the Council elections and to limit their decision to that of solely representation, with the voting system to be deter mined at a later date. Terry Schaaf and John Klein represented each sub committee in giving a com parison of the two systems.

The date on Considine's column is July 17, 1965. He said that the discovery of life on Mars and "the apparently impending attack by Martian space forces on the earth created a torment of activity today at U.N. headquarters." Advantages which the sub committee for the college sys tem believed were present in college representation were presented by John Luckasen. He outlined seven advantages to the system: 1. The system is simple. There would be no question as to a student's voting clas sification, he said. 2. The system provides an adequate cross-section of viewpoints, he said. The repre sentatives would come from group of all kinds of s t u dents, 3. Because all students are In college, complete repre sentation would be given, Luckasen said. 4. Through the system, no bias is given to any one group. "No petty rivalry would be present among colleges as might exist between living un its," he said. 5. The number of colleges at the University will remain fixed in the forseeable future. 6. Luckasen also said that if the government is to deal with educational governing, this would be done best through the colleges. 7. The problems of Student Council are of a general na ture, Luckasen said. They are not divided among living un its, and the representatives through the college system would have contact with their constituents no matter what their living association, he said. Wish Division The group favoring the dis trict system wish to divide of that type which might come into being, as well as the co-ops. The advantages which this subcommittee believed the dis trict system has were outlined by Bill Coufal. He listed five main points: A cross section of thinking is acquired. Because the is students who are members of a fraternity or sorority. "These students will be voting as Lincoln students," he said, "but will probably be most concerned with the interests of their house." Redistricting would have to take place with the building of each new living unit Schaaf said. This would not be the sues of Student Council are of case with the college system a general nature, the District he added. system gives this, Coufal said. Complete equity in repre sentation is given. Everyone is in a district and representa tion is extended to all, he said. Simplicity is present Coufal said, because the districts are well defined. The system is flexible in that it will grow with the University. It will not allow any group to gain complete control, Coufal said. Coufal also said that good contact will be present be cause the representatives live and associate with their con stituents. "District representa tion would get rid of apathy," Coufal said. "It will promote competition among living units to get out and vote so they can get their representa tives elected." The district group also favored using the Hare system of vote counting for electing the Council members. Bob Cherny, not a Convention delegate, was given the floor by the district group, and he explained the workings of the Hare system to the Conven- "I can not see how better contact with the representa tives will be present with the district system," Schaaf said. "There is no contact of eat ing and living together for Ag and Lincoln students," he said. "Contact would be avail able with the college system. At the majority of campuses where district representation is used, most of the students live on campus. At Nebraska, this isn't so." "The environment in which a person lives affects the way he thinks and how he views different problems," Klein said. "There is no reason to believe that people from col lege to college will view is sues in different lights," he said. "We want a cross-sec tion of thinking, while the college committee wants a cross-section of students." Klein said that the college representation system which is now in use points out the inequalities of that system.
