ONIVERSITY OF NEBN LIBRARY ' SEP 27 m ARCHIVES Vl ran m Vol. 75, No. 7 Cit7 Defense Pace Quickened By Nancy Whitford The increase in world tensions will indirectly affect the University campus this year in the form of a stepped-up pro gram for civil defense. ' In keeping with the national emphasis, campus civil de fense preparation will be concentrated on two areas giving warning and providing shelter from fallout, said Roy Louden, civu defense coordinator. An adequate warning sys tem has already been in stalled, he 'said, but the in spection of buildings to deter mine which are adequate shelter sites will begin some time in October. A student Red Cross group, under the direction of Dr. Samuel Fuenning, is also preparing for a civil defense emergency by training health chairmen in the individual houses and by maintaining a walking blood bank through the facilities of Student Health. The warning system in eludes periodic drills an nounced by a siren on top of Bancroft for the city campus and a siren on the Biochem ical building on Aff campus Both were purchased by matching University and fed eral funds. "Together, the two sirens fairly well blanket the cam pus," Louden said. Designation of shelter areas for protection from radioac tive fallout will supercede any plan of evacuation. "There just will not be time for evacuation," Louden said. "Maximum warning time in case of attack will be only about 30 minutes. "The first 24 hours will be extremely critical with an es timated 3,000 roentgens, or units of radioactive fallout, per hour. A lethal dose would be 600 roentgens, so the im mediate problem will be to find shelter. "The original dosage dissi pates by 50 percent each 49 hours so - it will be safe to leave the shelter in about two weeks although it may be pos sible to go out for limited times before then." To provide adequate shel ter, an area must have a wa ter supply, an air exchange and toilet facilities, Louden said. Food will be secondary as it is possible to live for two weeks on air and water.

State Town Names The number system has gone out of style in designat ing conference rooms in the recently completed Nebraska Center. Cities throughout the state which contributed most to bring the Center from a dream to reality were rewarded by having the rooms carry their name. So remember it's Bea trice Room or Lincoln Room.

The Horlick mountains ex tend nearly the length of the continent and range from about 6,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level. The mountain range is the only rock exposure in the cen tral area of Antarctica and is composed of coal stratifica tions and sedimentation from the Devonian age resting on a granite base. Dr. Treves said that the mountains contain the oldest fossiliferous rocks in Antarc tica.

Wednesday, September 27, 1961 Today preliminary ' plans for a $4 million dormitory build ing which will house 960 students on the .University's City campus were an nounced by Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin. Current project plans in clude two 13-story residence halls with a basement and a two-story food-service build ing. They will be constructed on the west side of 17th Street, directly east of the present Women's Residence Halls on 16th. Comptroller Joseph Soshnik was authorized by the Board of Regents to explore finan cial details. The residence halls will be financed by rev enue bonds and not tax mon ies. Chancellor Hardin said it is hoped that financing plans can be completed so that bids may be let sometime this winter with the comple tion date scheduled for the fall of 1963. Twin Towers The twin dormitory towers will be the first "skyscraper" type building to be construct ed on the downtown campus. The twin towers will be separated by the food-service building which will feed 1,500 students the 960 residents living in the new dorm plus the 530 women students in the present women's dorm. Davis and Wilson of Lincoln are the architects for the project. Ultimately the proj ect will be entirely for wom en, Chancellor Hardin said, but for the first few years until the coed enrollment in creases to fill both dormi tories, one tower will be used to house men students and the other for women. Each floor will have 20 rooms with two beds in each room. On the first floor of each tower building there will be two large lounge areas, living space for a proctor and complete mailihg facilities. The top 12 floors will be used entirely for student housing and the basement will be used to keep the mechanical equipment. Kitchen, Cafeteria Two large dining rooms separated by a kitchen and cafeteria area will comprise the food-service building. This building will be connected by enclosed passageways to both tower dormitories and the Women's Residence Halls. Exterior walls of the pro posed buildings will be of marble or quartz material embedded in the face of pre cast wall panels. Three mockup rooms, de scribed in yesterday's Daily Nebraskan, have been built in Nebraska Hall with each room varying in size and lo cation of closets. The chancellor said the need for additional housing at the University was pointed up this year when all Uni versity facilities were re served by July for the fall term. Present on-campus housing will take care of approxi mately 4,000 students, but about 8,600 students are en rolled in the University.
