Thailand Saturday from the gov-

The Michigdn Student Assem-
bly (MSA) has until next fall to
either rewrite part of it consti-
tution or change its method of
representation, if it is to con-
form with a recent ruling by the
Central Student Judiciary
(CSJ).
The CSJ has said that the
presence of 17 school and col-
lege representatives is not in
accordance with MSA's birth
certificate, the All Campus Con-
stitution.
THE ARTICLE under fire -
which provides for one voting
representative from each school
and college government - vio-
lates the "equal weight of the
vote" guaranteed in the Assem-
bly's Bill of Rights, CSJ said.
Currently, LSA, with a con-
stituency of 13,000 students, is
represented by a single MSA
member, as is the School ofi

Architecture and Design which
has only 300 students. CSJ has
ruled that this type of distribu-
tion of voting power is malap-
portioned according to the con-
stitution.
Furthermore, CSJ found the
constitution contradicts itself.
For instance, a clause prohibit-
ing any exemption to the "equal
weight" rule is directly follow-
ed by an amendment which ex-
empts representatives from that
rule.
THE ASSEMBLY basically
has two alternatives at its dis-
posal.
In order to maintain its pres-
ent status, MSA, by approval of
the student body; can delete or
replace the "equal weight of the
vote" clause.
MSA presidnt Scott Keller-
man said that most students are
"probably" confused about the
malapportionment issue and
would not vote to strike the
equal weight clause from the
constitution.
But, Kellman added, "If stu-
dents don't vote to strike that
clause down, MSA will, in effect
become an LSA government."
He explained that the 17 school
and college representatives
would be removed from the As-
sembly, leaving 18 members
elected at large.
H I S T O R I C A L L Y,
Kellman says, the vast major-
ity of those seats have been
filled by students in LSA. Con-

sequently, Kellman believes,
"with essentially all LSA mem-
bers, MSA would be more
grossly malapportioned than
now."
The seven month grace per-
iod grantd MSA by CSJ will
allow the Assembly "adequate
time to re-work the constitution
before it is presented to stu-
dents in the Fall election," ac-
cording to MSA member Chris
Bachelder.
Presiding* CSJ justice Bob
Morton said the court granted
the reprieve because "if we in-
voked immediate implementa-
tion of the remedy, we would
destroybMSA by fractionalizing
it and by undermining its cred-
ibility with therAdministration."
HOWEVER Bachelder feels
that although the terms of the
Judiciary's decision were leg-
ally justified, no decision was
really necessary. "When and if
MSA is required to draw up a
new plan, Bachelder says, "it
won't inherently be any better
than the one w have now."
Although many might peg,
ceive the MSA situation as an
either /or dilemma, that is,
dropping the "equal weight"
clause or changing school and
college rpresentation, CSJ jus-
tice Tyrone Tartt has offered
a third choice.
Tartt said his proposal "would
not differ substantially from
the present MSA plan at all."
Through technical legal chan-
ges, Tartt's recommendation
would allow MSA to retain
school and college representa-
tion, while keeping the "equal
weight" clause in the constitu-
tion._
