By LINDA BRENNERS 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 HATHA YOGA CLASSES Startnq March 28. 1977 6 WEEKS-$20 Mon.

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- * TAFFETA Down Jackets by MILLER .

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._ Join The Daily Arts Department! . 41 . down 2 I I 213 S.
