Students Participate In Experiment
Animal fallout Shelter
eveals Survival Data
By MARV McNESS
The first practical experi
ment using a fallout shelter to
determine if animals could be
protected in the event of nu
clear attack was carried out
with two University students
as participators.
Dennis DeFrain and Arthur
E. "Ike" Andersen, both se
niors were hired by Roberts
Dairy Company of Omaha to
act as herdsmen and caretak
ers for 36 Holstein dairy ani
mals who were housed in a
survival shelter near Elkhorn,
Nebr., for a two week period
beginning Aug. 6, 1963.
Conditions for the test were
made as realistic as possible,
according to Andersen and
DeFrain, who both grew siz
able beards during the test
and, said the food they had
became monotonous after a
period of time.
J. Gordon Roberts, presi
dent of the dairy, said the
purpose of the test was to dis
cover what the facts were
with regard to shelters and
what protection might con
ceivably be offered as a re
sult of the shelter program.
The test was conducted in
conjunction with the Office of
Civil Defense and the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture,
along with the assistance of
a five man team from the
University of Florida which
worked under contract with
the OCD

Just about the time you figure your Wordmaster should
be running out of ink, unscrew the cap. The new see
thru refill says In no uncertain terms that you've got
enough ink left to go on writing for quite a while. You
shouldn't be surprised. For even though Wordmaster
Is slim and streamlined, it has a much larger ink capac-
ity than ordinary dollar pens. And that makes it just
about the most inexpensive dollar pen around.
By the way . , . you can get a handsome matching
pencil to go along with your Wordmaster. And that's
only a dollar, too.
Andersen and DeFrain
lived in a separate room nest
to the cattle enclosure, with
bunks, cooking facilities, elec
tric lights and a fresh air fan
and filter.
According to Roberts Dairy
officials, information regard
ing the possibility of protecting
foodstuffs and productive fa
cilities for foods from fallout
is vital to our national survi
val and ability to recover from
a nuclear attack.
For the food the two day sci
ence majors had nearly every
thing they needed for a bal
anced diet except, as De
Frain said, "It was all in
cans." Foods featured on their
survival menu, such as
canned soft drinks, Nebras
kits, dry powered milk, pow
dered mashed potatoes, and
various traits, maae up me
two meals per day the herds
men were in the habit of eat
ing near the ena of tne two-
week period.
An extensive series of physi
cal and mental tests were
carried out Toy the two care
takers, according to Ander
sen, who said a slight loss In
weight was noted by both De
Frain and him. According to
the renort of the Roberts com
pany psychologist the period
of two weeks in tne sneiier
apparently produced little, if
any, psychological after-effects
that were not tempo
rary.
The nightly questionnaire

f1UUV10WII ..u - - '
pleted was concerned with
their reactions to the shelter
environment. The company
psychologist said neither of
the caretakers reached the
cfooo riiirinff tne exoenmeni
when the inconvenience suf
fered caused mental or physi
cal discomfort which they
registered as being acute.
Due to outside weather con
ditons during the experiment,
the University of Florida team
had to furnish artificial heat
during the last part of the
test. The weather also neces
sitated changing night into
day for the cows by simply
reversing the times when the
lights were on and off.
With the days and nights re
versed, Andersen and De
Frain found they seemed to
loose their sense of time. They
said regular meals planned
for a specific time of day with
a specific type of food would
lessen this problem.

Dames To Meet
Tomorrow Night
University Dames, an or

of the University, will hold
its first meeting tomorrow at
7:30 p.m. in the Student Union

The program will feature a
cosmetics demonstration by a
representative of a local de

University coeds concentra
ted on the big things this sum

ternity pins, while five rated
rings.
