ha. yeah, I'd prolly just randomize the table as is for S+Gs to see if just
randomly distributes even enough for the suits. Or, seeing as how you are
on a edu there, I suggest taking a jaunt over to the Prob and stats dept, or
Math dept if no separate prob+stats, and have some grad student play
As a variation on Charlie's suggestion, I'd like to propose assigning points to
individual students for having a certain value for a characteristic:
points = total population / group size
Assume 400 students: 200 Europeans, 100 Asians, 50 Africans, 50 Oceanians.
Europeans: 400/200: 2 points
#1 Get a pencil / paper
#2 divide them up

how i would do it.

The nice thing is you can test the distribution when you are done to
determine, statistically, if everything is distributed evenly. So a test in
this case is really important. I would develop your testing algorithm (as
suggested earlier first) and then work on the actual distribution
algorithm.
