"Distressed" by the "neglect of our city's colleges, especially Radcliffe" in the city's evacuation emergency, Cambridge City Council yesterday unanimously passed a bill ordering the City Manager to improve evacuation procedures for the University, the 'Cliffe, and M.I.T.
"The girls up on Garden St. aren't safe from the Reds either, you know," said Councillor John D. Lynch, who introduced the bill. He added that the current neglect of Radcliffe was brought to his attention late last Saturday night when he noticed Walker St. "packed solid with cars, and a girl with a bulldog in every one."
"If the Harvards can't even protect the lassies from Yale, there's no telling what will happen when the Russians come," Lynch said. Present plans describe Cambridge Common as the only assembly point in the University-Radcliffe area. "Why, with 10,000 men and another 1,000 girls crowding the Common, the best brains in the country are in danger," Councillor Edward A. Crane '35 noted.
