With the help of transportation provided by the National Guard, almost 500 students worked through the volunteer center set-up by the college and Civil Defense in the lobby of Smith Htll Dormitory, Besides students, who replied to over 70 requests for help tiiroufli this center, after records wore kept at approximately 6 pm, hundreds of additional students WATERS RECEDE-lLock Haven.begqn yesterday to recover from the high, waters.

The water impounded at three upstream damns apparently made damage that could have been caused by the river. At 2 am yesterday morning the Susquehanna crested at 20.6 feet. At this point some roads and land in the eastern part of the city, mostly around the Piper airfield, had already begun to flood. There was also flooding beginning to occur in some cellars near that area.

From the time that some semblance of records were kept at 6 pm until the last . of over 100 students returned from Raub Elementary school at 1:30 Tuesday morning it became apparent that hundreds of students were willing to risk any personal gains received in preparing papers and studying for tests the next day, in order to help, the residents ofthe area evacuate personal belongings. When the first calls for help started arriving at the college Monday afternoon, assistance .was coordinated through Bonnie Beck's office in the PUB. Later the student volunteer center was established in the lobby of Smith Hall v.'ith David Arsenault at the helm. From this point campus students arrived in the hundreds to take on the task of assisting Lock Haven residents. The Civil Defensive people set up a CB radio in the lobby where calls for assistance came in. Then the Narional Guard took on the job of transporting the volunteers all over the city. By mid-afternoon, many fraternities, dorm residents and students who live in the Clinton County Region were already evacuating businesses and schools. In my own tour of the area it v/as easy to see the townspeople were very much afraid of the impending disaster. Again and again they thanked students for the aid given them. The student newspaper would like to thank all those faculty members who postponed papers that were due, tests and cancelled their classes. The only thing the faculty who did hold classes today taught their students, was that it is more important to worrv about yourself than help a neighbor. The flooding of the Susquehanna was one activity Dave Arsenault neglected to include in the Campus Calender, but as far as student participation goes, it was the most successful activity of the year.

Lock Haven State wrestling team recently completed its 32nd suaight winning season. That mark establishes a new nalional record for soncecutive winning seasons. The man responsible for the team's sucess the past five years is the c o l o ^ l head wrestling coach here at "The Haven," Dr. Ken Cox. ! Commenting on the season Coach Cox stated: "This is one of the best teams I've ever hac'. I'm really proud of our season, and our new record." As > ..yone involved in sports knows, there is a lot of pressure involved in continuing a record of any kind, Coach Cox puts it this way."Most ofthe pressure comes from within." In reference to external pressure, "There is absolutely nc pressure from the administration lo win." One of the tilings that makes the record even more impressive, is that the team faces a few adverse conditions during the season. The lack of a wrestling room is one problem they face. The wrestlers simply have no place to go when anyone wants to cut weight. A major problem facing Coach Cox, is that of recruiting. Since he has no assistant, it is hard for him to scout prospective wrestlers. .Aslo, a |major hindrence in recruiting is that Lock Haven does not offer athletic scholarships. Work study doesn't exactly measure up to a full ride. This past year marked Coach Cox's 18th year as ahead coach. His overall coaching record is 170-69-6. In his five years at LHSC his record is 46-25-0. These are impressive statistics for any coach to boast. However, Dr. Cox is not only a coach, but also an educator, and justifiably proud of the fact. He holds a B.S. in Health, a California Public School teaching certificate, an M.A. degree in Elementary Ed., an M.S. in Physical Education and a Doctor of Education degree.
