running events while new records
may also be hung up in the field.
Especially hot battles are in
prospect for the sprints and hurd
les where a galaxy of stars will
fight it out for honors.

Dr. Senning Tells How Redistricling
State For Legislature Accomplished
A score of maps displayed in the
hall of Social Science are but an
indication of the magnitude of the
task undertaken by Dr. J. P. Sen
ning as special advisor to the leg
islature in making plans for
the redisricting of Nebraska ac
cording to the new unicameral
plan. Dr. Senning, as chairman of
the department of political science,
w&g chosen by the state law mak
ing body to compile the tremen
dous amount of data necessary for
the drawing pf new district lines.
"The question was," Dr. Senning
Stated. "What did the legislature
of the last bicameral session
want?' Between the extremes of
thirty and fifty members as out
lined in the constitutional amend
ment lay a large number of possi
bilities. In order to take care of
any contingency I had to assem
ble material for twenty redistricl
ing plans. Jn this task of several
months uue was made of a staff of
assistants in doing: research work
and in arranging material for pre
sentation to the legislature.
Thirty maps in all were pre
pared and submitted by Dr. Sen
ning. No matter what size house
the body decided upon, a map was
ready with the voting districts
laid out Although all the districts
were arranged according to popu
lation distribution as required in
the state constitution, other fac
tors such as political history and
economics played an important
part
"All district lines were made to
follow county lines," Dr. Senning
explained, "not because of consti
tutional demands but because of
the requirement that only counties
with two or more representatives
may be divided. As Lancaster and
Dougla were the only ones falling
under thla category there was no
possibility of cutting up any other
coi-ntles and in the case of these
two there appeared no need for
