CORONATION GRAND AFFAIR
A Beautiful Night-A Beautiful Event-A Beautiful Queen!
By Brenda Watson
Evelyn Jones, Miss
Fayetteville State University for
the year 1971-72, made a
breathtaking entrance tonight.
She was simply lovely—she was
the essence of all beauty. She
wore a beautiful gown made
from white jersey acetate, with a
haltered bodice and bare
shoulders. She designed the
gown herself.
As she walked before us
tonight, she was the person upon
whom all admiring glances were
cast. She walked with a quality
and softness all her own—she
was fascinating—she was our
own Miss Fayetteville State
University.
Miss Jones is a senior
majoring in Business Education
and is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Amos Jones of Boston,
Massachusetts. She is secretary
of the Swing Phi Swing Social
Fellowship, a member of the Phi
Beta Lamda Business
Organization and vice president
of Bryant Hall Dormitory
Association. She enjoys sports,
dancing, traveling, fashions, and
listening to all kinds of music.
As she spoke from her throne
Three FSU summer interns chat with Milton Yarboro,
Director of Placement. L-R, they are Kathann Eaglin,
Jackquelin Mack and Maudie Mitchell.
Four Fayetteville State
students spent the past summer
in very challenging intern
positions. This marked the first
time that Fayetteville State
University has had four students
selected for summer internships.
Ea‘h student worked
approximately twelve weeks.
Their average rate of pay was
$130 per week.
Maudie Mitchell worked with
the Public Building Service
(PBS) of General Service
Administration’s (GSA) central
office in Washington, D.C.
Maudie’s positon was in the
Equal Employment Opportunity
Office (EEO) under the
supervision of the Executive
Director. “All my duties were
interesting and enjoyable,”
Maudie said. “My co-workers
and the supervisors were very
understanding and put forth
efforts to give PBS a pleasant
working atmosphere. My entire
experience was interesting,
educational and rewarding.”
Jacqueline Mack was a
Research Helper in the Ames
Laboratories at the University of
Iowa. “I was able to do real
research work and got a chance
to learn real laboratory work,”
she said.
Willian Alston spent the
summer with the State
Government in Raleigh. “I had
the opportunity of attending
several legislative sessions. The
historical sessions on
Restructuring of Higher
Education was one of the most
interesting,” he said.
“Informal rap sessions with
high ranking state officials were
among the highlights of my
summer experiences. It is my
sincere hope that more Black
students be offered the
opportunity of taking an
in-depth look into State
Government.”
Kathann Eaglin was one of
three students selected from
eighteen colleges for the 1971
Federal Summer Intern positions
located in the Office of the
Secretary of the Army. “Being
on the night of her coronation,
■she left us with these words;
“Tonight, you are witnessing
some the happiest moments of
my life. These precious
memories will be forever
cherished and in remembering
them all of you will be included,
because without you, tonight or
even my reign as your Miss
Fayetteville State University
would have been the impossible.
Believe me, 1 could never thank
you enough, but I would like to
promise to continue as best I can
to uphold the proud grace and
honor of our University.”

in the same building with the
top ‘Brass’ of the Department of
Army was a thrill within itself,”
exclaimed Kathann.
Several suggestions offered by
Kathann to improve next year’s
program are expected to be
implemented by the agency.
“We are extremely pleased
with the in-roads that we were
able to make in discovering
intern opportunities for our
students during the past
summer, but we have yet to
scratch the surface. We are
committed to tripling that
number next summer. Our
students need this meaningful,
goal directed work experience to
reinforce their college
education,” Milton Yarboro,
Director of Career Planning and
Placement said.
Freshmen, Sophomores,
Juniors and Seniors, interested
in additional information
concerning summer internship
opportunities are urged to visit
the Placement Office, New
Administration Building, Room
133.

Coronation Fashions:
Out of This World
% Z By Johnny Jay
t
Fashions were outstanding, crowd in festive mood.
The time was 8:00 p.m., the
occasion—the Coronation Ball.
The queens were beautiful and
the fashions were simply
out-of-this-world.
The first really beautiful
fashion was the African Formal
worn by the lovely Miss Ethel
Tyndell. Miss Tyndell said, “I
feel a sense of freedom about
this attire, it lets me know that I
don’t have to be a flashj^ dresser
to be recognized.”
Another way-out fashion
appeared, worn by Miss Barbara
McNair. She wore an Italian
gown with empire waistline,
trimmed in gold sequins, with a
deep brown top and contrasting
yellow bottom. Later, Miss Alice
Lothan, who was wearing a
velvet crust hotpants formal
made a beautiful entrance. She
said she loves the “hotpants”
look.
Miss Pat Lewis called her
“way-out” attire “the Super
Chicken.” The fashion was a
brown and beige midi. In
commenting upon her outfit, she
said, “It’s popular depending on
the personality of the person
wearing it. It brings me out.” It
was worn with a skull hat, and
corn rows or braids, also beige
wooden earrings and brown
suede wedge heel shoes which
are seemingly popular this year.
