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.

The 10 major conference
rooms located on the second

The Horlick mountains ex

The mountain range is the

composed of coal stratifica

the Devonian age resting on
a granite base.
Dr. Treves said that the
mountains contain the oldest
fossiliferous rocks in Antarc

their destination from Byrd

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.
