io ta a Page 8 walt With summer school classes already underway at Wilkes College, President Francis J. Michelini, Charles Abate, busi- ness manager, and Nelson Carle, superintendent of buil- dings and grounds, have had an opportunity to assess the damage and the critical points necessary for the future de- velopment of the college. Overall damages remain at the estimated $10-million, ac- cording to Dr. Michelini, with the hardest hit areas being the library, the Stark Science Hall and the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. One break for the college’s summer program was the fact that the second floors remained untouched following the des- truction brought to the Valley by flooding. Essential student and graduate records were carried to the second floor of the Administration Building, Weck- esser Hall, protecting them from any damage. The drying out process for those records that were not saved has been in full swing with a great deal of success. Cleanup crews composed of students, deans, secretaries and maintenance personnel have made it possible for the summer programs to begin with rela- tively few inconveniences. Students responding to a plea made by Dr. Michelini have come from out of state for “Operation Snapback’ cleanup procedures. Students returning to their alma mater from homes in New Jersey or New York were pre- pared to apply the elbow grease and teamwork necessary to put the college back into normal op- eration. All around the Dorothy Dick- son Darte Center for the Per- forming Arts were the former stars of the collegiate stage, many of whom had graduated in previous years. Viewing the damage done to the theater, they found much of the stage, its lights and equipment were des- troyed. Water filled with hydra- ulic oil had severely damaged chairs and rugs in the building. Combined with the destruc- tion at the music building, the total comes to an estimated $1.5 million, Perhaps the hardest hit area on the campus was the library with over $500,000 in book los- ses. A good many of these books are irreplaceable, along with some of the records that repre- sent many years of work by in- dividuals in research. Among the rubble of period- icals and deteriorated ceiling tiles are Xerox machines and electric and manual type- writers in the basement of the by Mrs. Ray Kelly 298-2149 Dorothy Weaver, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Weaver, visited her sister Mrs. Osbert Patton, Ebensburg, for one week.

Farley Library. The total estimate of damage to the library is $1.5 million. Swelling books on the first floor caused the shelves to split, emptying their contents onto the wall-to- wall mud which has since been cleaned up. Stark Hall, the college science center, was also hard hit, with close to $2 million in spare elec- tronics parts and other _equip- ment lost. The Institution of Regional Affairs, started by the late Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, was almost totally wiped out. Most of the records represented a life-time of work.
