Everything is ‘‘go” for cultural, social and academic activities, with scientific equipment, books and other educational tools arriving daily on the local campus. In fact, many areas on the campus, which had to be entirely re- decorated, will be more at- tractive than before the June flood, with newly painted walls, Hole-In-The-Wall To Open Sept. 22 The ‘‘Hole-In-The-Wall”’, the student government run coffee house on campus at College Misericordia has set Sept. 22 as the grand opening date for the fall semester, according to a student government spokes- man. Created last year when the student government remodeled a small lounge area in Merrick Hall, the ‘‘Hole-In-The-Wall”’ features live entertainment in a coffee house atmosphere. For Friday's grand opening, the entertainment bill will feature folk singer Frank LaWood, Also performing will be Miss Mewy White a folk singer-guitarist and Miseri- cordia alumna. Entertainment is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Admission will be charged. new furniture and new floors. Efforts to replace and restore damaged equipment and library holdings have been making great progress, with books and supplies coming ‘in every day from other libraries. Student Government mem- bers met in a brief session over the summer with Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College, and were informed that the full program of cultural and student activities is to be im- plemented. All necessary equipment and materials will be ready to in- sure full support for academic courses. ; Wilkes College opens its doors to the largest freshman class in its quarter century history this week with current estimates showing 650 freshmen and 150 transfer students. Throughout ‘the emergency period this summer, Dr. Michelini and the deans maintained constant com- munications with students, informing them of the progress the small liberal arts college was making under ‘‘Operation Snapback’’--the official title for recovery efforts. Losses in the Eugene S. Farley Library were heavy with over 50,000 volumns lost plus special collections, all the basement furniture, shelving, carrels, carpeting and much of the first floor shelving. Losses in Stark Science Hall included ' laboratory and scientific equipment as well as furnishings. The Center for the Performing Arts and the New Music Building suffered losses dinner. pital. Sweet Valley. in instruments and equipment, with the water level in the theater covering all but the top gymnasium floor was washed out and buckled into five-footf waves. Restoration of these facilities, however, has been more than sufficient to insure continuation of the academic and cultural activities at Wilkes College. In addition, Wilkes College will be serving the community through the use of its resources and personnel to provide a partial remedy to making every day life more pleasant for those individuals affected by the flood. Cultural, social and sports events will, in most cases, be open to the public free of charge. “Wilkes has always been a community-oriented college,” Dr. Michelini pointed out. “The school was established and sustained through the efforts of many generous people in this region over the three and a half decades. It is our desire to reach out and help at this time in an effort to try and give back to the community something which might ease the burden for many of those who have suf- fered so greatly.” Butler Twp. i Foster Twp.

Victims (continued from PAGE ONE) She said her organization would also demand an accurate accounting of all money donated for flood relief, listing as an example an accounting of more than $100,000 given by Scranton Eugene Peters which he solicited from mostly resi- dent of Lackawanna County. Alluding to the recent visit by President Richard Nixon to the stricken valley, Mrs. Kleinman said that most flood victims are not Sitting on plush green lawns eating White House hot dogs and hamburgers or play- ing football” as she maintained was portrayed after the Presi- dent’s visit on national televi- sion networks. Criticizing dates set by Frank Carlucci, the President’s personal representative in the Wyoming Valley who has been coordinating all federal flood relief, Mrs. Kleinman said that campers cannot be released in many cases by Oct. 31, the date the Department of Housing and Urban Development has set. Charging that flood relief had areas not available to Wyoming Valley residents, Mrs. Klein- a man charged that her organiza- tion was demanding to know why a pre-flood fair market value was paid homeowners along the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg and not in Luzerne County. She also said that in Washington County, Md., owners of certain plush summer homes had been paid by the government a pre-flood fair market value for their property. “What about Wyoming Valley?’ she asked. “We haven’t even been told that it is safe to rebuild our homes.” The flood victims spokesman scoffed at the idea that the visit by President Nixon had ac- complished any significant help for residents whose homes and businesses were washed away Susquehanna last June 23. “How can the President deter- mine our fate in a two-hour whirlwind tour of the valley,” she asked. ‘We are urging flood victims to write to Sen. George McGovern and Congressman Daniel Flood and include their own financial picture,” she told a staff writer: ¢‘This is going to be the toughest fight we’ve ever had before we get the flood-fire 1st-2nd-6th Dist. 3rd-4th-5th Dist. 1st-2nd Districts 3rd District 1W-1D, 1W-2D 2W-3W Boro Bldg. 1W-1D, 1W-2D, 2W, 3W-3D Town Hall 3W-1D, 3W-2D relief bill through Congress.” Mrs. Kleinman was referring to proposed legislation expected to be introduced into the House of Representatives in the near future by Luzerne County Congressman Dan Flood. The measure would underwrite the cost of insurance companies damaged property as though it had been damaged by fire. A similar or identical bill is ex- pected to be introduced into the Senate at the same time. The flood victim spokesman said that her group was con- cerned that the national media was not presenting the proper picture to the rest of the nation. “I am afraid that the rest of the country think that we have taken the first big step and that we are now well on the road to full recovery in Wyoming Valley,” she lamented. “And you know perfectly well that we haven't even started.” Mrs. Kleinman said that at the meeting tonight the coali- tion would formulate plans to begin picketing various state and federal offices in the valley in a manner in which it would not be a burden to anyone.
