P. Covington said yester day. With Covington's experience in this sort of work, the shows are bound to be in top-notch shape very soon. Few people have lived the life of acting, writing, and producing plays as closely as Covington. His experiences go back to his high school days in Winston-Salem. In 1936,' Covington served on the Board of Directors with the Little Theatre group in Winston-Salem. In a few years, 1939 and 1940, two of his plays received such recog nition as to gain Covington, the CDA playwriting award. These two plays, as some may recall, were "Shirt-Tail Boy" and "Dark Stillness." The next two years saw Covington -turn , Editor of the "Carolina Stage," a CDA pub lication, and also take another award this time the Play maker Masque for acting. Not long after receiving his acting award in 1942, Covington left for the Army. Having been assigned to the Signal Corps, and after six months training, he was sent to the ETO where he remained for five years. His work on the stage in Europe led to his appearance with the Savoy Opera House group in Ireland and the Abbey Theatre players. After things had calmed down in Europe,, Covington was assigned to the Service Forces. Few Abuses Of Benefits For G I s Are Reported WASHINGTON, March 3 (JP) The National Federation of Private School Associations said today it knows of only 14 cases of serious abuse by schools of veterans educational benefits. The organization charged in a news release that the Veterans Administration in a recent report to congress greatly exaggerated the number of abuses. The Federation said the Veter ans 'Administration "loaded in everything since the beginning of the program six years ago" in listing 1000 instances of abuse of Best-Seller, Subscribers formation operators' master lists. "We are constantly proof read ing all of December and January Up until the middle of February when . the book goes to press," Gardner said. In that period, Gardner solicits and composes the ads and lay outs for the directory. New class ified listings and ads are con stantly being added, the pages being held open until 10 days before the book goes to press. - "And yet," Gardner asserted, "the book is still out of date. It becomes out of date the moment we close the page and ready it for printing, for new subscribers and changes in address are con stantly occurring." Bach's Committee Suggests 3 More Areas To Be Used For Parking; House Will Act By Don Maynard University Safety Committee Chairman Joe Bach yes terday gave hint of still further parking restrictions or tight ening of existing restrictions, and strongly suggested that students leave "unnecessary cars at home when they return to the University, following the spring holidays."

The popular Negro pianist pre sents a program which has spe cial appeal to college erouDs. combining classical, popular and boogie woogie numbers. The SEC completed its spring quarter schedule by booking Met ropolitan Opera star for April 20. the program, and gave the im pression that all the abuses were current and serious. The organization added that it has queried the state approval agencies to which all- schools wishing to train veterans must apply. Of 41 states replying, the Fed eration said, only seven reported instances "where schools were thought to be involved in pres ent abuses that arc serious. Of the 14 cases noted, six were in California, two in Georgia, two in Michigan and one each in Arkansas, Missouri, Pennsylvan ia and South Dakota. A Veterans Administration spokesman said VA's report list ed 1,237, abuses, representing on ly those -reported byVA offices which are not primarily re sponsible for such reports and listing nine of those uncovered by the official watchdogs, the state approval agencies. ,The Federation claims as mem bers 42 national and state associ ations of private . schools repre senting 7,000 private schools flight schools, , business college vocational and trade schools and other institutions. Dr. J. S. Noffsinger, Federa tion president, said his survey showed that most of the past in stances of abuses have been set tled by corrective measures or by dropping the, schools from the program. ' He said the private schools would welcome a full congres sional investigation. , . MM I'll 11 lo aid in alleviation of swollen parking conditions, recommenda tions from the Safety Committee were sent to the Building and Grounds Committee under Chair, man R. J. M. Hobbs Feb. 10 sug gesting additional areas that the Committee felt should be con verted into parking areas. The three recommendations from the Safety Committee stat ed that: 1. The cast fringe of Emerson Stadium (now partly used as a parking field) be used as a park ing lot; 2. The 'area back of Peabody Hall now occupied by the "Uni versity nursery gardens" be con Verted to a parking area; 3. The road east of the Bell Tower leading to gate number two of Kenan Stadium be made available for parking. Bach said the Committee: in tended both sides of the road leading to Kenan to be used for parking, and that it urged a cer tain number of trees be cleared in the area. He s,atd that the Building and Grounds Committee will weigh the suggestions and possibly make some of its own. Then, he con tinued, if it sees fit, will forward' (hem to Chancellor R. B. House for further consideration and final approval. Bach said that a definite park ing policy statement would be released as soon as word con cerning the parking recommen dations was received from the Chancellor. An unofficial source yesterday stated that the Chancellor had the committee's recommenda-" tions. The Chancellor since Tues day has been in Chicago at a Church Home convention, but the source said he is expected to act on the recommendations immed iately. upon nis return. "Notice will be given far enough in advance for students to plan use of their cars here at school," Bach said. He then went on to warn students who will not need their. cars here in the spring not to bring them back to the campus. Further restrictions will be published "certainly by the time construction on the commerce buildings behind Memorial Hall is begun and the parking lot there is ' closed entirely," Bach pro mised. Parking facilities on campus and in town will be taxed to the limit when construction on the medical building, commerce buildings, the Vcnable. addition, the law building and the library addition is in full swing, Bach said, and added that further re strictions will be necessary to handle the extra traffic. A 700-car lot is planned for the medical building, Bath said, but he said it would probably be completely filled by the staff, patients and visitors, and of no usd' to students.''
