The world is on the verge oi
war.
Any minute now it is expected
that an atomic bomb may be
dropped on Seattle, the nearest
strategic'target to Eugene.
Eugene is relatively safe from
fallout since winds blowing due
south from Seattle occur on an
average of only two days in a
More Cuts Seen
For Education
Oregon State Senate President
Ben Musa. D-The Dalles, said Fri
day that he was concerned that
the state economy cannot afford
the demands for appropriations
made by both the boards of high
er education and education.
Musa, who is a certified public
accountant, asked. “Please tell me
why with only a 5 per cent boost
in our population we need a 20
per cent increase in the higher
education budget?”
HE POINTED to the governor's
request of $81,655,000 which had
been cut from the Board of High
er Education's S96.000.000 budget
and said, ‘"it’s up some $13 mil
lion over the last biennium, and
this is 20 per cent
Musa also said he thought the
demands of the community col
lege people needed “a hard look
when they are asking nearly 50
per cent more than they got the
last time." He said their requests
are S5.2 million, up from S3.3 mil
lion.
House Education Committee
Chairman Xancv Kirkpatrick. D
Lebanon. also commented on the
community college development,
saying it was “coming along too
fast” She expressed surprise that
13 community colleges had blos
somed into the planning stage
since the last session.
Although she said she thought
the budget would be cut. and
asked “where is the money com
ing from?", Rep. Kirkpatrick said
she felt confident that the house
would “deal fairly with educa
tion.”

and activities; late work sessions

activities; and any other activi
ties which are not consistent with
fraternal law. ritual or policy or
the regulations and policies of
the educational institution.”
POSITIVE suggestions made by
the Council to educate fraternity
members on hazing in the future
include:
1) The pooling by all the presi
dents of suggestion to replace the
old tactics of hazing.
2) The passing along to the
house presidents to be elected yet
this year of full information of
what has transpired, and the rules
and regulations passed with the
reasoning behind them.
3) A fraternity evaluation week
with speakers and discussion ses
sions, all houses participating, to
be held fall term.
4) A discussion in Inter-frater
nity Council, Junior Inter-frater
nity council, and Alumni Inter
fraternity Council of the reasons
for changing the old “hell weeks”,
; month.
but—THERE is the possibility
of a close hit. or of winds blowing
fallout in this direction.
Years before attack became
! probable. University President Ar
j thur S. Flemming, University Civ
j il Defense Director, and his depu
ty director, Col. Louis I). Farns
worth. Jr., spent much time in the
. planning of civil defense for the
University.
THE UNIVERSITY Civil Do
tense program they designed now
provides protection and care for
I all students, faculty members and
their dependents and civil service
employees and their dependents.
The "average” University stu
dent—let's call him John Redi
! man knows that the present possi
bility of attack does not catch the
University unprepared. Civil De
fense organizational training and
planning have been intensified, es
pecially since it became probable
a few days ago that the enemy
might attack.
Today relations with the enemy
have become worse and the threat
of attack greater.
FLEMMING calls off classes
and John, along with all others in
the campus community, return to
where he lives, in his case, a
dorm.
When John arrives back at his
dormitory, he finds that his coun
i selor has called an immediate
dorm meeting. At this meeting the
counselor will review Civil De
fense procedures, which he has
I outlined at an earlier meeting.
; And. he will tell students not to
leave the dorm
In the living organizations stu
dent wardens (counselors in dor
mirtories and men’s cooperatives
presidents in fraternities, ami
house mother’s in women’s organi
zations) have direct supervision|
over all the students in their liv- i
ing organization.
THERE WILL be no chance for i
phone calls to parents or friends.
No calls will be allowed as the
phones must be reserved for in
structions from the Civil Defense'
control center in Johnson Hall
After John receives his CD in
structions he will go to his room
and prepare the items he will
need in case he has to go to his
| designated fallout shelter.
He will provide himself with a
: fork, knife, and spoon, a large
metal cup or small saucepan from
which to eat. a blanket, a small
pillow, a towel, a flashlight, and
■ suitable packaged foods, if avail
able, for one or two cold meals.
THEN JOHN and everyone else,
| will just wait until told to take
cover or that the all clear signal
| has been given.
What would happen now, in
j case of the remote possibility that
the enemy did drop a bomb and
! winds did blow fallout towards j
; Eugene?
The decision to take cover
| would be made by the coordinat
| ing members of the Civil Defense
1 organization in Johnson Hall
CALLS WOULD be made to the
living organizations instructing
them to go to their fallout shel- j
ters. (OfT-campus University per
| sonnel not residing in a living or
ganization or housing project will
be instructed to listen to a local
; AM radio stations for instruc
! tions. >
Once John’s group is ready to
go, it would proceed to its shelter
area. In the fallout shelter, a shel
ter warden, who is a faculty mem
her, is in charge, and student war
dens become his assistants.
The duty of the shelter warden
is to supervise all persons in his
area and to ho responsible for its
supply and operation.
SHIT Tl* in a large room with
many other people, what would
there be for John to do?
An underground tunnel system
connects all the fallout shelters.
Messengers will be needed to car
ry messages between shelters
Carrying parties will be needed to
transport food and water from
cooking areas to the living areas
and waste products to disposal
areas
There will be opportunities for
students to join hands or other
groups and provide entertain
ment.
How long could John be main
tained in his shelter?
THE UNIVERSITY has enough
food available to supply 10,000
people for 15 days. Leighton Pool
will be drained and refilled with
water for emergency drinking
purposes in case local water be
comes contaminated.
Medical teams will visit the
shelters handling any sickness
Public health teams will be re
sponsible for maintaining sanita
tion.
Heat and electricity from the
physical plant will be conserved
to allow for an adequate supply
THE UNIVERSITY Civil De
fense program will provide the
minimum protection and care ne
cessary for John's well being
Returning to the present, all
students, faculty members, and
civil service employees have been
assigned designated fallout .bel
ters Student wardens have been
assigned and shelter wardens are
presently being assigned.
During Christmas vacation fall
out shelters were marked with the
now-familiar yellow and black
signs. These are government prop
erty and were put up by the Na
tional Shelter Marking Program.
Civil Defense officials have re
quested that they not be molested.
