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. Wardens in all houses will
designate capable individuals to work under them n carrying out
their duties.
Student air raid wardens are also to provide equipment through
special coxiiiiiiLiees which win
supply needed materials, to in
struct their houses adequately
and to maintain a list of address
es and phone numbers of all agen
cies directly concerned with air
raid precautions. The printed in
structions will be prominently
posted in each living organiza
tion.
Karl W. Onthank, dean of per
sonnel administration, emphasiz
ing the worth of the student-fac
ulty defense set-up, urged stu
dents to throw themselves into
genuine activity to help the de
fense cause. He said that the
greatest danger to be encoun
tered is idleness.
“We must get organized for
eventualities that are now only
remote possibilities," he stated,
commending student leadership
and expressing Confidence in the
present defense program. He also
remarked that dn'y belief to the
effect that the university might
“close up” was “art absurdity
and outlined the important role
that women will play in the emer
gency.
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. However, all persons
there received the personnel
sheets and were informed that
they would be notified bf further
developments. Nancy Riesch, jun
ior in business administration,
has been appointed secretary of
the student defense organization,
Worth announced Wednesday.
