Campbell, Vice 'president for busi

• Construction of the shelter area
in' the Power Plant arid the re

operating is the first major step
to be taken to provide such pro

and electric power on 'the campus
will help to solve some of, the
problems faced in working out - a
plan, Campbell said: .
i Many of the campus buildings
have interior and underground
•areas that would provide shelter
from fallout and. the continued
operation of the power I plant
would provide electricity to these
areas, as well as heat that may
be needed.
THE MAINTENANCE of elec

Harold E. Byers, head. of the

is anticipated that after. the first

for men to leave the shelter area
to check some operations -in the
