COLLEGE RUNS PRACTICE RAID

Harvard held its second practice air raid yesterday afternoon, and, according to Aldrich Durant, Business Manager of the University who was in charge of the practice, "All those who volunteered did excellent jobs." Durant added that "although there were a few rough spots, I am pleased with the entire performance."

The raid officially started at 3:11 o'clock with the sounding of the warning siren, and the all clear was given at 4:10. Volunteer messengers scattered "incidents" throughout the University, probably more incidents, Durant, said, than would ordinarily occur in an average raid over such a localized area.

University Units

For purposes of organization the University was divided into four separate units. The first district encompassed the Law School and Graduates Schools of Arts and Sciences; the second comprised the Yard; the third, the Houses; and the fourth, the Business School and its environs.

One of the most amusing of the "rough" spots in the drill occured when two irate Yardlings, having been officially pronounced "dead," were forcebly, ejected on stretchers protesting that they had a History 1 test for which to prepare.

Coincidental with the drill, Peter Mcgowan '42, chairman of the Adams House Committee, announced that plans were being discussed to hang black curtains and Venetian blinds over the Adams House Library and Common Room so that students could study in the event of a real air raid
