As part of Sector 5, the campus is divided into 15 sections, with Wardens appointed mainly ' from the faculty to take charge ot each section. In the event the army flashes a surprise signal from any where in the country to this area, the Central Control Board in Old Main contacts each warden imme diately. Declared a complete success by George W. Ebert, head of the committee, last week’s blackout was confined to Sections 11, 12, and 14, which consist of the area west of. the Armory. Entirely blacked out in the trial period were the Engineering buildings, the President’s house, the MI Building, and the Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi fraternity houses. Before the campus is entirely blacked-out, every ' section will have to be tested for problems which may. arise peculiar to it, Ebert stated. The next warning, which may come at any time, he said, will probably result in the blackout of Sections 1,3, and 4. Gambling Devices Await Couples At Ag Frolic Fiye hundred dollars wbh each dance ticket!—That is what each couple attending Ag Frolic in Rec Hall tomorrow night will receive. The money—even though it’s not the official, government-printed type—can'be spent at any or the 12 booths that will be installed to help create the “county fair” at mosphere. Booths with gambling .wheels, baseball pitching, and other typical country-fair amuse ments will cater to the student spenders; old-fashioned “barkers” will vie for their trade. Co.uples whose fortunes have been wiped out by the gambling machines can finish the evening less extravagantly by dancing. The Campus Owls will be on hand to provide the music.
