Flood Trailers Removed by Doug Gibboney Two years after the flood that made them necessary and one year after the expiration of their lease, the trailers have been removed from Capitol Campus. University officials offered the land between the Main Building and the Placement office for use as a temporary flood victim trailer court following the June 1972 disaster. Problems arose last fall when federal, state and county authorities denied any responsibility for removing vacant units. The issue remained at a stalemate until early this summer. The state agreed to accept the task and promised all the homes would be relocated to area trailer courts by October 1, a deadline that was beaten by several weeks. ~ : .! - r ,,... 1, , , . * t -, ' I .e.fro, i' , ,, :;,..1 , 14 1 4 44 c, .., - , - _ .

It provided the opportunity for the student leaders to work together to combat common and in dividual problems. Although the primary purpose of the workshop was to discuss the common organizational problems, there were periods of recreation. The highlight was an old fashioned barn dance featuring music by the Buffalo Chip-Kickers and fancy footwork by Allen Kerchner.
