Three-Point Civil Defense Plan Hits Snag
By YVONNE PATTEN
(Editor's Note: This is the last in a series of articles on the newly proposed AMS Civil Defense program.)
It’s no concilation to AMS Civil Defense Coordinator Wally Karabian that Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Recognition of Karabian’s three point civil defense program has taken six weeks. The apathetic attitudes of civil authorities, university administrators, and students could delay the working part of the project much longer.
Karabian has proposed three possible points to get a civil defense program rolling at SC. These are: 1) an evaluation of campus buildings as to which would be the safest in an attack; 2) survival instruction for campus living groups; 3) pamphlets, speakers, and movies on civil defense for university groups like Panhellenic, AMS, AWS and IFC.
Each of the proposals has been discouraged. City civil defense authorities can t handle proposal 1 because the city budget is too low. Proposals 2 and 3 are slowed up necause Karabian can't pin down an administrative head for SC civil defense.
Along with this, Karabian has been told by civil de-
fense authorities and university administrators that a civil defense system at SC is like a bowl of water to a dead fish. An attack, Karabian said he was told, would level the whole of L.A.. and obliterate SC.
In spite of this negative reaction, Karabian, as a one-man committee backed by the AMS, is doing everything possible to give SC some type of civil defense program.
Because proposal 1 involves the red tape of civil government, Karabian is concentrating his efforts on 2 and 3 at present.
The coordinator will present his plans to the AMS cabinet next week. Basically it will involve a plan for individual or self-education of SC students.
“First of all,” said Karabian, “students must be informed that L.A. is the most prominent target this side of the Mississippi.”
Karabian continued that students should also be familiar with L.A.’s present system of defense. (Although finances and disinterest have slowed up the construction and upkeep of shelters, according to Karabian’s information the city still maintains the Ground Observers Corps., siren systems, and radar.)
After this preliminary instruction, Karabian plans to
provide each student with a pattern for personal survival.1
“This would include,” he explained, “how to recognize different alerts, how to make a first aid kit, and technical information about the H-Bomb itself. Conelrad, the radio alert, would also be covered,” he said.
To do this Karabian, with the support of AMS, would plan a three-day education program. He said information would be relayed to the students through the DT and the Trojan Owl and through civil defense speakers, movies and pamphlets.
“I can get any number of these- movies and pamphets from the civil defense administration,” Karabian said. “They are very cooperative on this point.”
Karabian said he is considering putting up on campus what he calls “arouse interest signs.” These would say something like, “What would you do if you heard an air raid alert?”
The coordinator pointed out that because his program would concentrate on the latter two proposals, he hasn’t abandoned the first.
His hope for engineer evaluation of buildings lies in the executive director of Trojan Young Republicans, Art Snyder.
“Snyder is a personal aid to Mayor Poulson,” Karabian explained, “and is attemping to get me a qualified structural engineer through action of the city government.”
An effort to give SC a civil defense program isn't new. During 1950 to 1954 (the period surrounding the Korean War) an administration committee did extensive work on a civil defense p/ogram.
Dr. Paul Greeley, medical director of the infirmary has zoning charts made in the early 1950's which divide SC into six air raid districts.
Karabian said the project looks good on paper, but can’t operate because there is no money to back it.
He said that his proposals could be put into operation at next to nothing, if they were accepted by the AMS cabinet and the remainder of the student body.
Karabian said he realizes that there are loopholes in his plan. He mentioned that the reception of the students, if it were half-hearted could defeat the plan from the beginning.
“I also realize that instructing commuters would be a big problem,’ he said. “At present there is no solution for this.”
