Boston to Hold Hearing Over Uncertain Future of Jackson-Mann Community Center
University representatives will ask today for an extension of the time in which Harvard may use the temporary Vanserg Building, the present graduate dining hall. Charles C. Pyne, assistant to vice-President Reynolds, and Cecil A. Roberts, director of Buildings and Grounds, will appear at an open hearing before the Cambridge Board of Appeals at 4 p.m. in City Hall.
The Board of Appeal will also consider a request from Dunster House to rezone 7 Cowperthwaite Street for a House parking lot.
Vanserg, near the Divinity School, was built during the war and because of shortages was made mainly of wood. Special permission was given then for its construction. As a temporary building, its permit was to last until six months after the war.
In addition to the dining hall, Vanserg also houses some of the Mathematics Department offices. The dining facilities will be shifted to the new Graduate Center on Jarvis Field when it opens in September.
