Joint Center Head Opposes Direct Election WASHINGTON, D. C. -Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee's Sub committee on Constitutional Rights, Eddie N. -Williams, voiced strong opposition to v legislative proposals to abolish the electoral college system in favor of a direct popular vote for President. Williams, president of the . Joint Center for Politcal Studies told the subcommi ttee thaf the abolition of the electoral college at this time could very well, reduce ' the significance of j the black . vote. . 1 A Joint Center study., shows that of the nine most populous states which are favored " by the electoral college system, six have a black voting-age population greater than 10 per cent. These six states have a total, of 148 electoral votes, more than half the number needed to elect a President. In those six States, and in at least two others, the black; vote has been critical in close election. Under the current elec toral college system, Williams said, "the concentration and influence of black votes in major electoral states accord the black vote a measure of respect which could easily be , lost under the direct popular election." ' Williams added that , any measure , .."which threa- tens to adversely affect the i significance of black voting power is a direct threat to Our community and in deed to our democratic society." .Williams noted that direct popular election is consistent with our demo cratic t. principles, including the one-person one-vote con cept. However, he said,. "from a practical point of view Such a system might create inequi ties which would have a far greater impact than the re mote possibility of a mischie vous electoral college." The Joint Center presi dent pointed out that there had been only one time in history (1888) where the electoral College denied the popular vptei winner the presidency. ... t JACKSON GREENSBORO - A funeral service for Dr. Arthur Jackson, former dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at North Carolina A&T State University, where held here, Friday, August. 12.
