Page 7 More than 200 volumes of books and journals found their way during the holiday season from the Dinand Library at Holy Cross College in Wor- cester, Mass., to the Wilkes College Library in Wilkes- Pa “mat hooks were sent with the promise of more to come,” James M. Mahoney, head librarian at Holy Cross, said. The Christmas-time gift was to help the Wilkes College Library rebuild in the wake of the damage caused by last summer’s massive flooding of the Susquehanna River which was swelled to deluge por- portions by Hurricane Agnes. “Few tales of institutional losses can match the devastation at Wilkes College in the wake of Storm Agnes,” Dale Buehler, head librarian at Wilkes, wrote in July soon after the flood waters had receded. “There are no ivory towers to retreat to at Wilkes College today. Even if there were, no one would be in them--every able bodied man and woman on campus is in the street or flood ravaged floors of our 58 The region's educational tele- vision station, now fully settled in the Public Broadcasting Center near Pittston, has issued an open invitation to all schools in its viewing area to visit the new studios for personalized tours conducted by WVIA-TV Channel 44 staffers.

Five residents of the State Correctional Institution at Dallas have enrolled as adjunct students in the surveying curriculum at Penn State for the winter term. These five men recently completed the 12- month program conducted at the institution under the direction of Professor John Kolesar and are now continuing their studies in the field. They are taking eight credits this term and after successfully completing 18 credits of required courses will be eligible to enroll as associate degree students in the surveying technology curriculum. buildings combating results of the flood.” Holy Cross learned of the plight of Wilkes College in particular through a member of its English department, Dr. John E. Reilly. He also hap- pened to be the chairman of the library committee. The Wilkes College Library lost every book in the Library of Congress classifications PR through Z. This includes British, American, and German literatures and criticism, all sciences, engineering and mathematics. In addition, other special collections,’ the Treasure Room, and one-fifth of the reference collection were rendered useless by the flood waters. The damage represents more than 60,000 volumes of books and most of the library’s periodicals holdings. Translated to financial losses, the damages total some $1.5 million for the library, which is only part of the more than $10-million estimated loss for the college as a whole. Ironically, the subject areas and periodicals washed away represented the library’s major emphasis in acquisition. Con- struction of the library building had just been completed in June of 1968 and at that time the college increased its book collection by 50 percent and its periodicals by 500 percent. “By far, the greatest increases had been in those areas we have seen washed away,” the Wilkes head librarian said. What compounded the problem of retrieval and restoration at the new library building were the small win- not be opened. This resulted in a high concentration of humidity which swelled the books on the shelves and eventually caused the stacks to collapse. “In this, the greatest natural disaster our nation has seen, Wilkes Library damages may pale to insignificance, ‘Mr. Buehler wrote to Holy Cross, “but by your aid, you have it within your power to help restore another independent college.” Age Changed for Young Companion Licensed hunters under the age of 16 may be accompanied while hunting by ‘‘younger adults” during the winter small game and archery deer seasons. Under recently-enacted legislation, a youngster who is 12 or 13 years of age must be accompanied while hunting by a parent or guardian or some other member of his family 18 years of age or older. The new law also provides that a youngster who is 14 or 15 years of age must be ac- companied while hunting by a person at least 18 years of age. Youngsters who are 16 years of age or older may hunt unaccompanied by an adult in Pennsylvania. Greenstreet News For Wedding Stationery to attend our Thursday, January 25, 1973 7:00 P.M.
