Attend Assembly Sesquicentennial Today Ya UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Volume XLVI, No. 13 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, JAN. 11, 1952 Fudd10 ,RULSS Atomic For To A science demonstration pro gram, "Your Atomic Future," will be presented at Drayton hall today at 10 a. m. Produced by Charles J. Caudle, New York public relations expert, the program contains a comprehen sive selection of working models that visibly demonstrate the basic elementary facts about atomic energy in an educational and en tertaining manner. The informa tion and materials have been as sembled by Caudle and Theodore D. Benjamin of Columbia university, an educator in the field of nuclear physics. from data released to the general public by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Na tional Security Relations board and other approved sources. "Your Atomic Future" has been acclaimed by Dr. Arthur H. Comp ton, Chancellor of Washington uni versity and noted atomic scientist, who personally witnessed it in St. Louis, Missouri. It has also won the endorsement of civil defense officials wherever it has been shown. "Never before," said Mr. Cauble, "has any one subject created so much speculation - founded on so little information. Such un founded speculation can lead only to fear and confusion and the only antidote to this situation lies in public education." The first part of the program is an explanation demonstration of natural and artificial radioactivity, nuclear fission, chain reaction and the atomic pile, using working models of atomic structure, Geiger counters, an atomic pile model, natural and artificially induced radioactive materials. The second part of the program is given to civil defense. This includes an ex planation of the three types of atomic blasts, the three atom bomb effects and the protective action individuals should take in the event . of attack with or without warning. A puppet show, featuring "Mr. Right" and "Mr. Wrong," sum marizes what to do and what not to do in case of an attack. The program is climaxed by a reproduction-i n-miniature of an atomic attack on a model city, com plete with authentic sound and lighting effect. All books loaned from the Mc Kissick Library will be due by Thursday, January 24 for the end C f the semester, Caroline Ryan, circulation librarian, has an nounced.
