At around 3:30 a.m. a group of seven Kutztown State College students, Greg Harris (20), Aaron Powell (20), Marvin Wiley (19), Jill Fortunato (18), Joan Howie (19), Pam Rhoades (19), and Doug Stanford (19), entered Schofer Cave in Greenwich Township about two miles northwest of Kutztown. They had come from a party celebrating the close of the summer school session. Shortly after entering the cave their only flashlight failed. Two candles, their only other light source, didn't last long enough to get them out. They sat down to await rescue. Fortunately, one student had declined to go into the cave. At about 6 a.m. this person began to worry and made a distress call on a CB radio. The State police at Hamburg got the message and called the Kutztown Fire Company. Police and fire personnel arrived on the scene at about 8:30 a.m. Two firemen crawled the 150 feet to the stranded cavers and by 9 a.m. had let them out.
ANALYSIS: It can be suspected that alcohol consumption played a role in this version of the repetitive scenario, 'the perils of flashlight caving'
