Page 2-Wednesday, March 24, 1982-The Michigan Daily Court contemplates new districts By BILL SPINDLE with wire reports While state legislators labor over several plans to lay out the state's districts to the U.S. House of Representatives, the state Supreme Court is mulling over the best way to carve up the districts for the state legislature. The court accepted two Democratic plans and one Republican plan to divide up the state's legislative districts. Analyses of the plans by both political par- ties indicate that, predictably, they would help the party which created them. THE TWO Democratic plans would protect the current Democratic majority in the state House and Senate, while the GOP plan would give Republicans a chance to eek out a majority in both houses of the state legislature. The Republican plan-differing by no more than one voter per district-comes closest to fulfilling the redistricting goal of having an equal population in each district. The GOP plan, however, will make 22 or 23 of the 38 districts in the state Senate at bpast marginally Republican, according to one Democratic Senate staffer. Kent, Macomb, Genessee, Washtenaw, and suburban Wayne counties could fall into Republican hands with the plan, the staffer added. OF THE Democratic plans, the Kleiner-Board plan differs by no more than four persons from the prescribed average for population in each district. The plan, introduced by state Apportionment Com- mittee Chairman Robert Kleiner and Commissioner Rosie Board, provides for 22 Democratic to 16 Republican seats in the Senate, and 60 Democrats to 50 Republican districts in the House. The second Democratic plan, presented by Francis Brouliette, varied considerably from the population Controversy centers over loss (Continued from Page1),. ROBERT CARR, the former congressman from East Lansing's old sixth district, was swept out of office in 1980 in the same tide that carried Ronald Reagan and his Republican followers, like freshman congressman James Dunn of Lansing, into Washington that year. Now, he hopes to win back his seat on largely the same issues but in a very different district. Carr is betting on a plan that would throw East Lansing, with its heavy student population, in to the same district as Ann Arbor. That combination, he says, with all the rural and basically Republican land in bet-, ween, would create a district with a slight Democratic edge - an edge that Carr is confident he could hold onto in 3\. lappy Hour Pitcher of Stroh's Mug of Stroh's French Fries $2.75 .50 .25 Mon.-Fri. 2pm-5pm Mon.-Wed. 8pm-Close 1301 S.

Brouliette said his plan would produce roughly 18 Democratic districts and 16 Republican districts in the state, with four swing districts remaining if current electoral trends continue. The redistricting question was turned over to the Supreme Court early last month when members of the bipartisan Apportionment Committee became deadlocked over two districts contained in a com- promise Senate plan. A decision by the court is expec- ted some time in the middle of next month. Although the racial implications of redistricting have received substantial attention, there did not ap- pear to be any dramatic differences concerning racial splits between the Republican and the Democratic plans.

"The authorities made us an offer to leave the country. Of course we refused," Danuta Walesa said in a telephone interview from her apartment in Gdansk, the Baltic port city where Solidarity was born. She declined to say who made the offer or when. The Interior Ministry announced early this month that interned dissidents and their families could a pply for passports to leave Poland. Few of the 3,600 detainees accepted the offer. A member of a small group of militants calling themselves the "Armed Forces of Underground Poland" was quoted yesterday in the legal weekly Law and Life as saying the band had begun collecting firearms in preparation for an assault that would free internees at Bialoleka prison, near Warsaw, and at a camp near Lublin, southeastern Poland. No such attempt has been reported, but members of the group have been implicated in the fatal shooting of a policeman in Warsaw last month. NATO defense leaders meet COLORADO SPRINGS, Coo.- Defense ministers of the Atlantic alliance yesterday opened the first of a series of discussions that are expected to culminate in June with a summit conference of NATO nations. This is the first time the ministers, meeting as the NATO Nuclear Plan- ning Group, have met since the Soviet proposal last week to freeze deployment of the three-warhead jssv-30, most of which are aimed against Western Europe. U.S. and NATO officials have said they expected Weinberger to ask the ministers to reject the Soviet plan. Weinberger also plans to discuss during the meetings the technical problems that have cut back testing of the Pershing II Missile, a NATO of- ficial said. Despite the problems, the planned December 1983 deployment of the missiles in Europe will not be delayed, a U.S. official said. Space shuttle continues tests CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.- With the space shuttle moving effortlessly through space, astronauts Jack Lousma and C. Gordon Fullerton exercised Columbia's arm yesterday and wrestled with a long day's flurry of discom- forts and frustrations. The cameras caused the toughest problems. Fullerton needed the elec- tronic eyes to help him grapple a package with the "end effectuator"-the hand-on Columbia's robot arm. An elbow camera was needed to scan Columbia's body for anticipated tile damage. Mission Control said the damaged tiles were not in a critical area. The tiles protect the ship from the heat of reentry. The most heat forms on the ship's underside. Columbia's crew, military test pilots by training, may also qualify as pioneer space pharmacists by producing a drug that is difficult and expen- sive to make on Earth. The drug is urokinase, which dissolves blood clots. It is one of two experiments on the flight that could convince manufac- turers to develop orbiting laboratories capable of turning out pure medicines, new composite materials, exotic metal alloys and superior elec- tronic crystals. Billy Graham to visit USSR MINNEAPOLIS- Despite reported White House opposition, evangelist Billy Graham announced yesterday that he will visit the Soviet Union in May to attend an international conference on nuclear war and preach at two Moscow churches. Graham said he was accepting an invitation from Russion Orthodox Patriarch Pimen to speak at an Orthodox cathedral, and he also plans to speak at a Baptist church. According to the statement released by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association office, the evangelist announced he had been invited to attend a worship service May 9 at the cathedral and speak to the congregation during the morning liturgy. That evening, Graham said, he will preach at the Moscow Baptist Church, which has 5,500 members. &bEre mictrtgan 13flu Vol. XCII, No. 136 Wednesday, March 24, 1982 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The Univer- sity of Michigan.
