Wardens Given Raid Directions Definite instructions for each air raid warden on the campus have now been distributed as a result of Wednesday afternoon’s defense meeting for student committees and wardens. Each list is designed to provide efficient organization of personnel in every living organization in case of emergency.

Student Body ^resident bou Torgeson, opening the meeting, stressed that the sttlaent defense organization rrilist function smoothly and be well informed at all times although, he said, the University is hot in a vital cen ter as a war objective. He ex plained the purpose and work of both faculty' and student defense councils and s&id that many pos sibilities for students to aid the program are still left. “It is essential that for our own protection and on the basis of common sense we take pre cautionary measures,” Torgeson stated. Steve Worth, chairman of the assembly, enumerated the work of each of the student defense groups, whose representatives were to be present at the meet ing. Early in the meeting he called roll, and an unfortunate number of wardens were not present.
