CROCKETT, Justice
(concurring, with reservations):
I concur with these holdings: that irrespective of the question of the plaintiff’s standing to bring this suit, where issues of great public interest are presented to the court, in order to perform its function of serving the public interest, and to avoid delays and minimize the time, effort and expense of further litigation the court may, *444and only in rare exigencies will, exercise its discretion to assume jurisdiction and adjudicate such issues; and that consequently, it is within the jurisdiction and prerogative of this Court to declare that the ruling of the district court that the enactments of the 42nd Legislature are valid is correct and stands unassailed on this appeal.
In view of the fact that the majority of the Court deems it inadvisable to deal with the more fundamental issue as to whether school administrators and teachers are eligible to serve in the Legislature, I reserve judgment as to other matters mentioned in the main opinion.
