(DBH) estimation, photogammetry, and wildlife. A forester’s proficiency in any of these events depends upon his classroom aptitude and his indi- vidual undertaking in the event, the personal measures he’s taken to in- crease his knowledge of the field. Featured in the physical events, the real highlight from a public point of view of the Conclave, are archery, log birling - an event which is con- fused with log rolling, for log birling is | actually the event held in the water, | the traditional ‘lumberjack’ event, I with the layman's log rolling a mis- | nomer, knife throwing, axe throw- | ing, men and women’s cross cut, || bow sawing, pole climbing, chain throwing, log rolling - where logs are rolled into a certain position with the greatest degree of speed and accu- racy, log chopping and pole felling.

There was a void after Field Day, a period of practice, preparation, since UAM was the host school, and anticipation before the 600 for- esters finally converged upon the fairground area. When it was all over, UAM came away with its sixth win in seven years, having won over half of the Conclaves in its 22 year existence. Conclave winners from UAM include, in the tech- nical events: Dennis Jacobs in timber estimation, Joey VanDee in wood technology, with second place Jim Ward in pole classification and Bob Davis and Craig McBroome placing second in wildlife. Third place awards went to Lenny Lott in compass and pacing and Rick Bird in dendrology. UAM dominated the physical events with Jim Ta- del winning log birling without a defeat, Steve Har- rington in pole felling and Freddie Peace in chain throwing. Second places went to the team of Sonja Cahoone and Janice Ranieri in women’s cross cut sawing, Jim Metcalf in log chopping and Danny Mor- row in men’s cross cut sawing. Our foresters are to be commended for their fine and consistent representation of UAM in the face of these much larger schools. Their performance at- tests to the comparitive superiority of our gradu- ates, and the success of the Conclave indicates that they do feel something more than an obligation to Forestry, their field. 84 Student Life Opposite: JIM WARD takes the measurements of a pine tree during DBH estimation.
