University Gets
Safety Program
Two years of planning and careful organizing by the De
partment of Security under the direction of Dr. Elwood Olver,
are beginning to pay the University dividends in one of the
best fire and disaster prevent
The “new look” in the safi
has been achieved through thej
publishing of a University Safetyl
Rules booklet, a disaster planning!
committee, first aid training for|
al! campus patrol members, fre-j
quent fn e drills and hazard checks;
as well as public instruction and!
demonstration of fire fighting and
disaster control techniques.
The University Safety Rules
booklet gives rules for safe op
eration of practically every
piece of University-o wn e d
equipment from fork lift trucks
lo pick axes.
The disaster planning commit
tee is one of the most important
groups in the program Composed
of 13 sub-committees, with mem
bers from food service, physical
plant, the health center and oth
er departments, it stands ready to
aid the University, borough or
state in the event of my type of
disaster.
Five annual committ
as well as regular repor
ability of emergency
keep the' program up t
immediately ready foi
aster.
The Campus Patrol, trained
in first aid and backed with
oxygen masks, an inhaiator, fire
extinguishers, litters, carbon
monoxide defectors and a re
cusitator are another imporant
arm of the security division's
emergency force.
The biggest job of the security
department this year has been
a large scale investigation of fire
hazards in all Commonwealth
schools under the University, as
well as thorough inspection of,
every major building on campus.
These safety checks involved
itemized reports on all fire haz
ards in the buildings as well as a
check on all fire alarms. Accord
ing to Olver, follow-up checks

i Dr. Olver reports that the two
j biggest problems on campus, in
'volving fire prevention, are fires
lin wastebaskets in the dorms and
“foolish” tampering with fire
alarms systems. “Students who
dismantle lire alarm equipment 1
not only are comtruting a federal
offense but are placing them
selves as well as their fellow siu
dents in real danger.”
