The Inquiry was begun in March following the discovery of fraudulent classes reported by Cape Fear Technical InsUtute in Wilmington. Holden told the board no new infor mation is available on the probe, and said, “There’s no indication when it will end. We need the dean because people have no one to answer to when (President Joe) Carter's out of town." Trustee Frankie Rabon said, "It (the investigation) could drag on up to 12 months." Trustee Eugene Hewett wondered who is presently in charge in Carter's absence, and Carter replied it was Vernon Ward, finance officer. Architect James Pittman reported the construction of a library-student center Is on schedule. “The concrete block work is finish ed and brick work has started," he said. “Most of the duct work is done downstairs." He added that bids are ready to be let by July 24 on the Interagency building and sewage disposal system.

Martin “for his leadership In recognizing the need for additional state resources to im plement the beach access and coastal natural areas acquistion programs." Gov.
