CATHERINE HINSON
Catherine Hinson
Breaks Local
Color Line
Catherine Hinson has become
one of the first Negroes to break
the color barrier in hiring policies
of the local clothing stores.
Catherine, a senior English major from Greensboro, was recently
hired as the first Negro saleslady
at Brownhill's, a swank local shop
for women apparel.
Miss Hinson, an active student
about campus, said that so far the
experience and position have been
very pleasant.
When asked why she took the
position at Brownhills', Catherine
said, "I feel that my working at
Brownhills' now will open doors
for other Negro girls later, who
might also like to work at Brown-
hills'."
In reference to her being hired
so quickly, Catherine said, "A
Negro probably would have been
hired earlier, but the issue had
never been brought up before."
Cathrine backed this statement by
saying that "the owner of the store
is very liberal and is not interested
in the color of a person but in getting the job done."
Plans have been completed for a
Professional Opportunities Conference to be held here April 6-7. Top
ranking graduating seniors and
placement officers from twenty-
five colleges in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware are expected.
The conference has as its purposes to (1) inform prospective
college graduates about the wide
variety of job titles available in
federal employment; (2) provide
government recruiters the opportunity to interview top talent from
the schools represented; and (3)
create an awareness of, and interest in, careers in govenment.
Representatives from the Civil
Service Commission, Federal Aviation Agency, General Services Administration, Veterans Administration, United States Departments
of Stat". Interim-. Army, and Air
Force, and other major employing agencies of the federal government will be present.
The first session of the con-
ence will be held in Carver where
Mr. H. R. Smith, dirctor of the
Fifth U. S. Civil Service Region,
will deliver the main address.
A banquet honoring the participants in the conference will be held
on Friday evening and Saturday
afternoon. A panel discussion will
be held and representatives from
the Federal Government will meet
with placement officers and guidance counselors.
During the conference, delegates
will have an opportunity to talk
with the governmental representatives in reference to employment
opportunities with the federal government.
Mr. W. I. Morris, placement director at the college is director of
the conference.
