Local Student Is One of Three Who Escape From Cave William Bartee, a student here at Presbyterian College, was one of three college students who spent more than 60 hours, hud dled on a tiny ledge carved from mud in a treacherous mountain cave before they were found by fraternity brothers Monday and rescued alive and well. They were located in what is called a mud pack room deep in the heart of Lookout Mountain in northwest Georgia. A crack team of cave explorers brought them to the surface. Their rescue touched off a joy ous celebration at the mouth of the cave where friends and pa rents had waited. The students Bartee, 20, and James Mason, both of Atlanta, and Martin Huddleston, 19 of Ormond Beach, Fla., ate a hearty meal of steak creamed potato baked apple, coffee and milk. It was their first meal in more than 60 hours. They had only swallows of water during that period. Mason and Huddleston both are students at Emory Univer sity in Atlanta. Bartee grew up in Atlanta with Mason and now is a student at Presbytreian College, Clinton. Mason, wearing a red sweat shirt covered with mud said they wanted to explore two big holes deep in the cave. They secured a rope at the top of a mud bank and went on down. “We knew there was water down there but we didn’t know how much,” he said. “I went down first and hit water about chest deep. The others came on down.” Mason said they went out a lit tle distance and found the water in the subterranean lake over their heads. “We swam out about 40 feet and it was getting cold and we started cramping and we swam back. “We decided it was about time to leave and we started to climb up this sheer cliff by holding on to the rope, but by this time it was pretty slimy. The more we tried to crawl up the rope the harder it got,” he continued. Further efforts to climb up the cliff failed and the boys re mained trapped in the cave until found by fraternity brothers in the searching party. Ed Seagraves and Dick Shup- trine, fraternity brothers of Ma son, and Harry Lang, a frater nity brother of Bartee, found the students in an area bypassed many times by other searchers, The three entered the cave about 9:00 p. m., Friday, after telling friends and relatives in Atlanta they planned to delve into depths of the cave.

Synod Churches To Observe 'PC Sunday' It will be “Presbyterian Col lege Sunday” in Presbyterian College Sunday” in Presbyterian churches throughout South Caro lina this Sunday as the entire synod uses this day of national Christian higher education em phasis to focus attention on PC’s current fund-raising campaign. The occasion also will serve as the kickoff point for general solicitation in local churches all over the state. They are poined together in a major effort to se cure $1,800,000 for Presbyterian College during the next month. The hometown Clinton area, in its drive held last month, pro duced an explosive $315,000 to build PC’s first women’s dormi tory to be known as Clinton Hall. Now, Presbyterians over the rest of the state are moving out church-by-church in one giant simultaneous operation to secure the remaining funds necessary to put the college over-the-top in its greatest fund-raising cam paign in history. Some advanced gift work is being done this week, but the main emphasis is scheduled to begin next Monday with personal solicitations among members of each congregation. Every church has formed its own organization to conduct the drive at the “grass-roots” level. The first report meetings among this state-wide array of churches will be held on Tuesday night, followed by others on next Thursday and the following Tues day evening. Results will be tele phoned to campaign headquar ters on the PC campus by area and Presbytery chairmen Im mediately after each meeting. The present objective of $1,- 800,000 envisions a new era for Presbyterian College. In addi tion to the erection of the first woman’s dormitory—making PC truly a co-educational institution —plans call for adding a new science hall, new dnlnlng hall and dining hall and some $700,000 to the endowment to strengthen faculty salaries and scholarship funds.
