All Fraternities
Asked To Prepare
For Test Dimout
Spot checking the fraternities
last night, The Daily Collegian
found not a single house that had
considered plans for a blackout
room for use during the all-night
;blackout next Wednesday night.
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.
