Students taking the class have gone oil lu be directors of alterations departments in major department stores or fashion designers, Mrs. Vannoy said.

Blacks have staged weekend protests at Crabtree Valley Mall since Nov. 18, angry over a request by mall executives that the city cur tail Saturday bus service from downtown Raleigh to the mall. In a memo, Raleigh Transit Administrator Michael Hailperin said the executives had asked for the cutback because of rowdy behavior and crime by black teen agers. The mall's vice president, John Grimaldi, defended the schedule change request, saying it was intended to minimize traffic conges tion, not to keep away black shop pers. ?ome protesters on Sunday had heard the message attributed to a 6 white supremacist group, the Con federate Knights of America, over a gospel radio station. In a statement released Sunday, The Martin Luther King Celebra tion Committee, Inc. condemned the recording, saying a telephone number for the recording had been distributed among high school stu dents Friday afternoon. The recording portrayed blacks as petty thieves and said the boycott was good because fewer black faces could be seen at Crabtree. "The tape was really despicable," said Denisc Jones, who is black. "They talked about-fewer welfare mampiics, shoplifting and boom boxes." Jones said she delayed a lunchcon date with a friend to join about 50 picketcrs near the mall entrance over the weekend.
