700 Spaces Saved
For Entering Coeds
By Rosie Stevens
Mrs. Lucille Piggott, associate
dean. of Student Affairs,
disclosed that approximately 700
women   students are  new
freshmen and transfer students
for the upcoming academic year.
This number represents about
half of the number of spaces
available for housing women
students during the current
year Mrs. Piggott stated that this
figure was based on an average of
the number of women students
who were freshmen and transfer
students over the last two years.
These two years, she stated are
the years Cooper Hall was used
as a women's residence hall.
In reply to a question
concerning a rumor that spaces
were being held for white
students who were coming in the
fall, Mrs. Piggott stated that she
was not trying to save spaces for
anyone.
The Associate Dean also
commented on the pace at which
the residence halls were being
filled. The halls were being filled
more rapidly, and many students
were on the waiting lists of
residence  halls.
There are always students on
the waiting lists for housing
space, Mrs. Piggott said , this is
because there are seldom as
many seniors leaving in
proportion to the number of
freshmen who enter school in the
fall.
However, she stated "As the
summer progresses , if the
number of freshmen being
admitted justifies a downward
movement, then students on the
waiting list would be placed in
halls." She clarified her use of
downward movement to mean a
drop in the number of freshmen
anticipated in the fall.
A&T Cluster To Fund
Vanstory Renovation
By Betty Holeman
Plans have been made to
renovate Old Vanstory at
approximately $250,000. The
first floor will be used for
Student Placement; the second
floor will be used for Planning
and Development. The
renovation will be financed by
the A & T cluster.
According to Marshall H.
Colston, Vice Chancellor for
Planning and Development, "For
sometime the A&T Cluster has
been considering the restoration
of Old Vanstory Hall. We are
now at the point where we can
make some genuine progress. The
Cluster originally thought to use
the first floor as
accommodations for Counseling
and Testing.
In the report of W.E. Jenkins,
architect for the renovation of
Old Vanstory , he stated that his
"purpose had been to evaluate
the prospects of using Old
Vanstory."
He said Old Vanstory is in
relatively good shape relative for
the time it has not been used.
The cost of renovation could be
reduced if there are substantial
contributions of labor and
equipment.
After inspection, Jenkins said
"I find Vanstory to be a pretty
fair structure. New heating,
plumbing, and electrical devices
will have to be installed."
He added, "Accordingto the
N.C. Building Code-height and
use limitations sections only the
first and second floors could be
utilized."
Jenkins characterized
Vanstory as an ordinary
structure. He is going to seal off
the basement and third floor.
He said, "The reconstruction
will be done in the house
method."
Jenkins has talked to
mechanical engineers on campus,
and they have agreed to do that
aspect of the work and his price
analysis.

Johnson Publications Deny
Recruitment Of Coeds
By Janice Smith
Discrepancy has risen over an
article appearing in the April 6
edition of THE REGISTER
which stated that seven coeds
had been selected to work in
New York for Johnson
Publications.
Earlier this week, the guardian
of one of the girls placed a call to
the THE REGISTER'S office. He
said that he had called Johnson
Publications, publishers of
"Ebony" and "Jet" and Chicago
office and they had no
knowledge of such a recruiting
program.
In a telephone interview with
a REGISTER reporter, Robert
Fentress, vice-president and
circulation director of Johnson
Publications, said the company
had nothing at all to do with
recruiting the girls.
"It is not sponsored by
Johnson Publications," he stated.
He went on to say that there
was no such individual as an
executive director of talent
scouts for Johnson Publications,
and added, "We are not involved
in anyway." However, he did
say they had a branch office in
New York but firmly stated that
the office handled only
advertising and editorials.
The original article stated that
some of the girls would be
modeling and that others would
get a chance to compete for parts
as extras in the new "Shaff'and
"Cool Breeze" movies during
their 11 weeks in New York this
summer.
It stated that John Clark, a
junior form Goldsboro, selected
the girls after being contacted by
the talent scout and that they
were judged on the basis of
poise, physical appearance,
intellect and personality.
In an interview last night,
Clark said that he acted only in
the selection process. He
responded to the discrepancy in
verification of the girls' offer by
stating, "As far as I know
everything that has been offered
to the girls is fact."
He also said that he had been
misquoted in the article
regarding the salary that the
coeds would be receiving. He
explained that he did not say
that benefits from the job would
include a salary of no less than
$300 per week but rather that
benefits would possibly include a
salary  of no less than $300 per .
week.
The article also stated that, in
addition to a salary, the job
would     include      paid
transportation to New York,
paid living quarters, owenership
of apparel they model, the
opportunity to be sent to charm
school for high fashion modeling,
the opportunity for parts in
movies, travel to Bermuda and
Puerto Rico for modeling
assignments, the possibility of a
contract with Warner Brothers,
and the possibility of a contract
permanent job.
The coeds have received no
other correspondence from the
unidentified talent scout.
New Cafeteria Slated
For Early Completion
By Betty Holeman
Jerald M. Marteena, dean of
Administrationjsaui that the new
cafeteria will be finished earlier
than anticipated if everything
goes according to plan,in a recent
interview.
He said, "The contract calls
for September 30th as the
completion date. However, the
contractor says he will finish
three months early."
Marteena stated that one must
keep in mind that one contractor
may finish and the other may
not. For example, the electrical
contractors, the heating
contractors, and plumbing
contractor*may finish early; on
the   other hand  the  ventilating
contractors may not.
When asked about possible
faulty construction as being a
by-product of such an early
completion date, Marteena said,
"Everything will be checked
thoroughtly before it is accepted.
State inspectors, architects, and
college administrator:; will
examine the site to see if
everything is in compliance with
state standards.
He said, "The air conditioning,
plumbing, heating and ventilating
must be tested to see if they
perform to standards."
In addition, he suggested that,
if the cafeteria is finished in time,
it should be used for summer
school.
