Abstract
Let be a prime, let , and let and be two sequences with terms from . Suppose that the maximum multiplicity of a term from either or is at most . Then we show that, for each , there exists a permutation of such that . The question is related to a conjecture of A. Bialostocki concerning weighted subsequence sums and the Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv Theorem.
