Kansas Legislature Needs Reapportionment, Titus Says
There is no doubt that the people of Kansas are not equally represented in the Kansas legislature, James E. Titus, assistant professor of political science, says.
Prof. Titus was commenting on a story in the Oct. 10 Kansas which said that four Kansas editors had filed a brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare the apportionment of the Kansas legislature unconstitutional.
The case is similar to one now pending before the Supreme Court which tests the apportionment of the Tennessee legislature.
THE MINOR CHANGES made in 1059 show only 28 of the 125 districts have the equal representation as required. Twenty-nine districts are under-represented with 15 of these "seriously under-represented." Fifty-seven districts are "seriously over-represented," most of which are in the sparsely populated western sections of the state.
Prof. Titus and James W. Drury, associate professor of political science, wrote a pamphlet for the Governmental Research Center at KU on "Legislative Apportionment in Kansas: 1960."
The Kansas Senate has a maximum of 40 seats, four of which are under-represented. Of the remaining 36 seats, 25 are over-represented.
Prof. Titus said that according to the Kansas constitution the men responsible for the apportionment
Seaman-Scientist Is Lecture Subject
A renowned scientist who made his name on the high seas will be the subject of the University Library's ninth annual public lecture on books and bibliography Friday.
Joseph S. Shirman, librarian of the Linda Hall Library in Kansas City, Mo., will speak on "William Dampier, Seaman-Scientist" in Bailey Auditorium at 4 p.m.
Dampier, a 17th century sea captain, sailed around the world three times but is remembered for his writings and observations on these trips. He published four journals of his voyages between 1697 and 1703, noteworthy for brilliant descriptions of areas he visited.
A skillful observer, his accounts are recognized for their scientific worth as well as literary value. His singular work, however, was a treatise on meterology, "A Discourse on the Winds," published in 1701 and considered to be a masterpiece of pre-scientific reporting.
Charlotte Albeck Joins Library Staff
Charlotte Albeck, of the Royal Library in Copenhagen, Denmark, has joined the KU Library staff as reference librarian.
She received a general certificate in modern languages at Ooregaard Gymnasium, Denmark, and had professional library training before joining the Royal Library staff in 1955.

of the Kansas legislature are members of the legislature themselves.
Thus the pamphlet says the members of the legislature are responsible for the unequal apportionment.
HE ADDED THAT he doubts if there is any legal basis for the Supreme Court to hand down a decision in the Tennessee case which would affect the Kansas case.

Kansas Constitution calls for reaportionment every five years according to the annual agricultural census. Such reaportionments have not been made.
The House of Representatives has a maximum of 125 seats with each county receiving one seat. The other 20 are called "floating" seats which are assigned to the more populous counties.
"The basic proposal in the brief filed by the editors is probably the same, but each case is a little different. It is doubtful that any decision of the Court will force the Kansas legislature to reapportion in 1962 or '63," he said.

The pamphlet says, "Thus despite the intent of the framers of the constitution to have frequent reapportionments it must be concluded that the representation" in the legislature "gives only limited consideration to the principle of democratic equality."
