New Cafeteria
January Eyed As Date
By Delores Mitchell
Aggie students all over
campus are wondering when the
new cafeteria is slated for
opening. According to J. M,
Marteena, dean of
Administration, students can
anticipate the opening of the
huge modern structure around
the latter part of January or the
first of February. Marteena
stated that it might be after
spring break before the cafeteria
can be used. This is to allow time
to move the equipment in and
prepare it for use.
The current delay in the
construction of the cafeteria is
acquiring    enough    employees,
stated Dean Marteena. The last
scheduled date for the opening
of the cafeteria was November 7;
however, because of the lack of
employees to do the job, it has
been set for a later date. Usually,
it takes a month for a building to
become occupied after the final
inspection   by   the  state.   When
this inspection is completed, an
inspection by the school must be
administered. Equipment will
then be moved from Brown and
Murphy Halls. Some new
machinery will also be
purchased. As of yet, all of the
new furniture and equipment has
not been delivered, the dean said.
The estimated cost of the
building is $1,700,000, according
to Marteena. It will be equipped
with two freight elevators and
one elevator for handicapped
people. There will be no
elevators or escalators for normal
use by students or faculty and
staff.
The new cafeteria will have
four lines on the first floor where
food will be served. Up to 900
people will be fed at any given
time. Students may also eat
on the second floor; however, it
will be used primarily for special
luncheons and other such
occasions.   .
A historic black-tie dinner
sponsored by the A&T
University Foundation Friday is
expected to be a tribute to the
University's supporters and a
report on the $4.5 million
fund-raising campaign.
Dr. Alvin Blount, president of
the foundation,said that the
dinner was a significant milestone
for the foundation, the most
outstanding source of outside
help for this University.
Keynoting the dinner for 400
persons at the Hilton Inn will be
Congressman Andrew Young of
Georgia. Young first gained fame
as the executive assistant for the
late Dr. Martin Luther King
during the civil rights movement
of the 1960's.
For nearly 10 years, he was
instrumental in organizing voter
registration drives across the
South. He also participated in
most of the historic marches
with Dr. King, and Young helped
in'thedrafting of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 and the Voting
Rights Act of 1965.
Marshall Colston,
secretary of the foundation, also
Vice-Chancellor of Planning and
Development, said the dinner will
serve as a special tribute to the
University's alumni, friends and
corporate supporters. A report
will also be given on the current
fund-raising effort.
During the past five years, the
alumni     association     has

Security Guards Placed
Inside Cooper Hall
Presently there are security
guards patrolling the halls of
Cooper as a result of the
shooting that took place near
Cooper Hall last week. According
to Dr. L. CJDowdy, chancellor
of the university, another reason
for the security measure is that
there have been some reports of
"unofficial male guests" in the
dormitory. There are plans to
make Cooper Hall a male
dormitory, according to Dr.
Dowdy. Dowdy expressed his
concern over the student
reaction    to    the   security   and
safety steps, published in the last
edition of The Register, that are
being implemented.
"We don't want to close the
campus to everybody, he said.
In commenting on the check of
unregistered cars on campus, he
said, "The young man that was
shot  was from outside.'.
It
will not be until after next year
that Cooper Hall will become a
male dormitory again. It also
looks like the new girls'
dormitory is a long way off.
Dowdy said that feasibility study
has to be done before plans for
the new dormitory can ber
approved by the state legislature.
Dowdy said that he had not
had that much reaction from
parents about the shooting last
week. He said that there have
been some people from the
community who have expressed
their concern.

Black Dentists Denied Hearing
WASHINGTON (AP)-Three
biack dentists Monday were
refused a U. S. Supreme Court
hearing for their claim that
suspension of their licenses by
the North Carolina Board of
Dental Examiners was racially
motivated.
The court declined without
comment to hear an appeal
brought by Drs. Reginald A.
Hawkins, John P. Stinson and
George T. Nash of a state court
decision upholding the dental
board.
The   dispute   stemmed   from
clinic esbablished by the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of
Education in 1966 with federal
funds to provide dental care for
poor children.
Bills for service by the three
