Who really benefits from a cumulative
voting system?
That question is one Student
Legislators attempted to unravel
Thursday night when they met to select
committ.ee members.
The cumulative voting procedure is an
essential part of the new Student
Legislature (SL) by-laws passed in a Dec.
2 session. It takes the power of
committee appointments from the hands
of the speaker and distributes it among
the individual representatives.
, The intent of the voting system is to
allow minorities a greater voice in the
body by "cumuJjjing"their committee
votes for one or two candidates of their
choice.

"You have to remember that this is
not one of the Virginia teams of old,"
UNC Coach Dean Smith said Monday.

Smith's Tar Heels, who were not
expected to be on a par with his squads
of the past few years, instead find

degree murder in the death of Cates, has
been set for the Jan. 1 1 session of Orange
County Superior Court. Ronnie
Broadwell, Rufus Paul Nelson and
William Johnson are to go on trial for the
stabbing death of Cates outside of the
Carolina Union Nov. 2 1 .
The preliminary hearing for King was
postponed originally because the
principle witness for state failed to appear
in court.
Howard Watson, the prosecution's
witness, did not attend the first
preliminary hearing although a subpeona
had been served and he was under 55,000
bond to appear.
King is charged with assaulting Grady
Burnett, a black youth, in the predawn
brawl which led to Cates' death. Burnett
spent several days in the N.C. Memorial
Hospital for the treatment of severe
lacerations which he received in the fight.
James Maxwell, a Durham attorney, is
defending King in the case.
A move to have the trial for the other
three Storm Troopers held before Jan. 1 1
in a special Superior Court session has
failed due to the lack of available time in
which to hold the session, Maxwell
reported. He had suggested the move in a
bond hearing for the three defendants,
but, after further discussions with the
court personnel involved, he decided
another session was impractical.
Maxwell is also representing William
Johnson in . the trial on the murder
charges.
King is presently out of jail on 55,000
bond. The other three defendants are still
in the Orange County Jail, having had
their appeals for bond twice denied.
The system, although thoroughly
confusing, was carried out efficiently and
effectively by conservative party
minorities in SL Thursday night.
The cumulative voting system allows
each legislator one vote for each of the
committee members to be chosen. Since

it was decided by motion that all the
committees should be composed of seven

situation was further complicated by the
ability of the individual to change his
vote after the roll had been called.

The five predominately black public
universities of North Carolina have
attacked a student aid plan proposed by
the Consolidated University.
The plan proposed by UNC, along
with the majority of the, other
state-supported colleges and universities
in the state, is designed to be an
alternative to one suggested in September
by a legislative study commission.
The plan proposed by the University
would give student aid in the form of flat
Abstentions of voting until the end were
also common.
Throughout the selection process, a
patter developed. Several candidates per
committee were nominated; When the
legislator's name was called he would
either cast all seven of his votes for one
candidate or distribute seven votes among
two or three candidates. No
representative cast a single vote for seven
different candidates.
If a legislator saw one of his favored
candidates leading by a surmountable
sum of votes, he would turn his support
to a second favorite or a third or
whomever needed more votes to get on
the committee.
By abstaining, or waiving his vote until
the end, a legislator could possibly bide
his time until the final vote.

By changing his vote, the individual
could take his support from a candidate
who had obviously won or lost and boost
a candidate who was close to being
selected but no quite on the committee.
To operate the system effectively it
took a close watch of the voting trends, a
soothsayer's mind, organized effort and
the ability to withstand looks of death
when a legislator, decided to change his
vote.
The results were clear.
The minorities had come prepared to
do just what the voting system would let
them do. All but one of the candidates
they supported were elected to the four
committees. Two wiihin their ranks were
chosen committee chairmen in later
balloting.
