Facilities are being provided in the dormitories on campus. Rooming houses likewise must be equipped for the test. Students will be faced with the problem of preparing for the next day's classes. Authorities are emphatic on the point that no special con sideration should be given to school work not done because of the blackout test. Dean A. R. Warnock in a state ment last night said, "This prac tice blackout should not be con sidered a holiday from work. Ac tually, it is practice in .studying under blackout conditions in pre paration' for what may come later. "If enemy bombers begin oper ating in this country the army may order continuous blackouts over a Large area for several days.- We should. learn now how to carry on as usual under blackout condi tions." In the dormitories on campus all corridors and toilet rooms will be completely prepared for the blackout. In addition the •lobby in McAllister Hall, the lounge in Grange, the lobby and Commons Rooms in Atherton Hall, one liv ing room in the sorority houses and cottages, and the social rooms in the men's dormitories will be available for residents who .don't want to 'go to bed. George W. Ebert, chairman of the committee on protection, said that no individual rooms will be prepared for the blackout. Fraternity houses when check ed last night had made no defin ite provisions for the blackout, but most of the . houses when pressed for information, said they would use their chapter rooms; which are in most cases located in the basement and need very little material for masking lights.
