tor of the • shelter research and
study program, said.
"People become alarmed be
cause of lack of knowledge, not
stspidity," Albright said. "We are
living in a nuclear age and must
learn to accept it calmly."
According to Albright, miscon
ceptions about non-military de
fense include:
arThere is nothing we can do
if a bomb drops."
"We can do something by pro-
Tiding shelter. areas on either a
public or private basis," Al
bright said. "A shelter against
fallout need not be a• separate
apace." he added. "We advocate
a convertible shelter, one that
can be used, for example, as a
game or TV room and also as a
protected area:"
ia"Our city may be a target
area,'so why provide fallout pro
tection when blast damage might
be so devastating?"
Many areas, Albright said, will
not be subject to the direct ef
fects of blast and heat, thus
people can survivcif they have
fallout protection.
*"Our town is many miles from
a target area, so why provide pro
tection?"
eo"There may not be enough
warning time, so why provide pro
tection?"
To answer both of these
points, Albright said dust par-

CAMPUS BLOODMOBILE . Tuesday, N0v.14 and Wednesday, N0v.15
The Johnstown Region Red Cross Service Blood Program in our Community, including University. students classified as Resi
dents of our Community, operates on a TOTAL COVERAGE BASIS.
A RESIDENT is any student actually living in 'University Student Housing, Fraternities, Apartments, Rooming Houses and
Trailers in University Parkf State College, Pine Grove-Mills, BoalsbUrg. Lemont, Houserville, Centre Hall, Port Matilda and
other surrounding areas which are a part of the State College Chapter Area. • •
TOTAL BLOOD COVERAGE means—for these students—that all of the Blood Needs for this resident and his or her IMMEDIATE
FAMILY will be supplied by= Red Cross on a pint-for-pint basis to any hospital in the United States and Canada which will
accept Red Cross Bottled Blood. The Immediate Family includes mother, father, brother, sister, - wife: or husband and - children
if resident in the United. States or Canada.
HOWEVER, to provide for individual coverage, a student MUST have donated within the last six months OR the Campus
quota set by the Regional Center and the State College Chapter must- have been reached. The very minimum for any six-month
period is 250 pints.
DESIGNATED DONATIONS: AT a Bloodmobile visit a student(s) may designate his blood for any person (on a one-for-one
basis) provided the hospital will accept Bed Cross bottled blOod. To. do thii, a donor must have the correct none and address
of the patient, and the name and location of the hospital at which the'person is a patient. Designated donations DO NOT either
protect the donor's own blood needs or count in obtaining the bloOd quota if the patient is in an out-of-region hospital.

the blast area will have time to
get to a shelter, he said.
• "Even if we are in . a shelter,
the radioactive air can kill us."
•"Food and water which we
need would become contaminated
for shelter use." • •
Air is not radioactive- dust
particles ' in the air are. 'Wash
able food or food and water in
containers will be safe because
they are free from these radio
active dust particles,' Albright
said. '
e"ln order to achieve protec-I
tion, we must build ugly, window- 1

"We need not live like cave -1
men if our architects know what!

Al

can design .a shelter in the core,
