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.

And ev- MOET eryone knows how exciting anxiety can be. Boredom is a pretty general term. A lot like happiness, it may be expressed in a variety of ways. | Let’s consider the happy person. He smiles, waves, gestures, jumps for joy, drives off a cliff in ecstacy. So it varies in degrees.

Cops get bored, students stay bored, and even DC-10 pilots get bored. I'll bet you didn’t know dogs get bored. They do, especially bloodhounds. They look it, and after a few weeks of practice you'll be able to pick a
