In a new measure to perfect the University's cooperation with the recently inaugurated dimout of the Atlantic Seaboard, Aldrich Durant '02, Business Manager, has asked all students living at college to draw their shades when lights are burning in their room after dark.
Intended to reduce the sky-line glow which was considered a potential beacon for enemy submarines, the dimout had been widely criticized as inadequate, and Cambridge officials were said to have planned more drastic action here.
At that time, the only effect that it produced in the University was the extinguishing of the lights on the towers and the painting of the tops of bulbs in outside lights to prevent their shining directly into the air.
