L to R Greg Cowman ( Vice- Pres . ), Helen Nowak (Sec), Bruce Ferguson (Pres.) Absent Roger Brown ( P. R. ), Paul Jewiss (Treas. ) THE PRESIDENT ' S REPORT It is upon the close of this academic year that I became reminiscent of my term as L. U. F. A. President. Though apathy seemed to take an early foothold in the year, the unfounded accusation that Forestry students as a whole had assumed an artsy attitude was quickly relinquished. A remarkably successful orientation rite at Kangaroo Court and an October Beef Bash was all that was needed. Participatory wise, the Shine rama proved immensely that Forestry still lived up to its tradition of always coming out on top. The bottle drive for United Appeal, even under the adverse conditions, surpri- singly showed earnest drive. The subsequent Social Nite and November Dance were also undoubtedly enjoyed. The true wealth of belonging to the Forestry sect continued into a Winter Carnival that would have fizzed without restoration of carnival spirit (i.e. - the Tech I sculpture) by us. Other involvements of the year such as the Annual Symposium, the work for a Germany field trip, and guest speakers added much to such a short but eventful year. To those who devoted services and time, I forward the executive ' s thanks for making the 1971 72 year a year of no monetary loss coupled with a renewed spirit only Forestry students could invoke. I would like to make a personal thank you to Dave Reed for his writing of the Wood Chips and Sawdust column. Myself as well as Greg hope future years prove as much, if not more, rewarding as it has been to us this year. Bruce Ferguson, President, 1971 72.

MULTIPLE USE Whose forests are these anyway For work, for study or play? Are they leasea to the Yanks For pulpwood and planks? Do Canadians have any say? That was a No-No one Sing us another one Not like the other one Sing us another one do-o When our timber resources are cut Or prices are squeezed in a glut We think of excuses For multiple uses To pull Canada out of a rut CHORUS: Hey-Ho for multiple use Give us another use Just like the other use Give us another use do-o. Cottage lot sales divide up the shore Into 50 foot plots by the score Now you need a sewer To keep the lake pure Or you ' ll poison the owner next door CHORUS: On a portage crossing a truck route A canoeist stopped to play on his flute With a God awful thud He was crushed in the mud And only the truck gave a toot CHORUS: Tourists called the Ranger a liar After lighting an illegal fire Which caused forest arson Burned up the parson And roasted the Sunday school choir CHORUS: A fabulous axeman called Paul Highgraded the trees that were tall When asked for an excuse He said multiple use Prevented him cutting them all. CHORUS: An ecologist studied a thrush And was killed when Bob Day sprayed the brush It had been his plan To enact a spray ban So the thrush and the brush could be lush. CHORUS: An R.P.F. had to quit Signing multi-use plans that don ' t fit But to cut be selection And build an erection In a wilderness zone takes a wit Lakehead U ' s class of F. ' 73 Were songfesting beneath a dead tree When from the inside A Woodpecker cried R.P.F. ' s ate no damn good to me. Hey-Ho for multiple use Don ' t do another one Just like the other one Don ' t do another one Don ' t. Professor Day ' s songs

Wood Chips and Sawdust d. reid For. Deg. Ill Well, if Forestry still has fans, we must have faithful followers. Big Green quickly became big mud last week when we got wiped in the volleyball play-offs. What the problem was, even I don ' t know, but we played very poorly and lost 4 out of 5 games to the opposition. I guess a combination of bad luck and disorganization could have been the main faults of our play on D-day. (D for defeat). Still good news on the football field though. The Forestry 1 team won over Science who of all things defaulted their play-off game on Saturday. The Forestry 3 team stayed alive by defeating the Phys Ed team they played in the quarter finals. s FORESTERS, all years, especially first and second year: Your student organization is in trouble, i.e., LUFA needs your support and help in its activities. For instance, the Beer Bottle Drive was a complete disaster this year as far as money return, and more important, student turnout. After such a good response to Shiner- ama, I am very disappointed at the failure of the United Appeal Bottle drive. Things like this can make or break the spirit of a faculty, and the third year people who more or less made the Bottle Drive exist as you might say, can ' t possibly carry the entire Forestry faculty on its back. We have as much a work load as any other class, and if we can find time to spend a few hours of time in a week to help out LUFA, so can you. In immortal words, ask not what LUFA can do for you, but what you can do for LUFA. Think about it, drop down to the LUFA office and offer help. Forestry had a wee social called Forestry and Friends on Thursday, Novermber 11. It was good to see the first year students jet out and join in with the rest of the old dead wood that ' s been tanging around for a couple of years or more. These socials (there vill be another in late winter) are a good way to meet your rofessors and get to know them as friends who can help you rather han be your enemies out to get you. tt was a very good gathering md we were glad to see that most of the Professors managed to ittend. For those who never heard, this year ' s Bottle Drive collected J253.00 for United Appeal which is a pretty fair total for the lumber of supporters we had. This week Forestry is throwing the big dance Friday night, with nusic by JERUSALEM, beginning at 9 bells and flying on ' til 1. )oors open about 8:45. ( ( ( - BAR - ) ) ) Who does all the cheering at Nor ' Wester hockey and basketball lames? JOE SCHWARTZ of course. JOE would like to say Congrats o the big white and blue b ball team for a successful series against he Trojans and to the team on blades. Once they really get to work is a unit, they ' re gonna do alright. Wood Chips and Sawdust d. reid For. Deg. Ill Well fans. Forestry has upset the favoured Phys. Ed. team in Football 7-0 by scoring a single point and an unconverted touchdown by Bob Goose Stoddart late in the game Saturday the 23rd. Phys. Ed. did have a good offensive attack but with some tough breaks, a few bad snaps and Forestry ' s ability to capitalize on these mistakes, Forestry wound up on the long end of the score. Forestry, you might say, is numero uno . This Forestry 1 football team has accumulated over 60 points in 4 games and allowed only one point to be scored against them. This makes up for a little revenge for the case of beer we lost in the volleyball game on Thursday night which we lost by a point. The game played Saturday was a very clean well-played contest with some tough action along the line. Saturday night celebrations took place out in the University forest at the annual Beef Bash. Mother nature cooperated with a beautifully clear, star-studded sky for the early part of the evening and while the flames of fire flickered, danced and licked away the dampness of the cool evening air, songs were sung and jokes were told, Incidentally, while yours truly was up tellig a couple my wife drank most of our wine. Bruce Ferguson hopes everyone had a good fill of beef and an enjoyable time. I bet you ' re sorry now that you missed it. JOE SCHWARTZ WAS THERE! In regard to the Mooseport 200 which became the Mooseport 100, due to the lack of conditioning of the teams. Forestry hereby apologizes for dropping out after approximately 25 laps due to an urgent last minute meeting which was called at the Italian Centennial Hall. Before we left, however, we noticed some distinct advantages that some teams held over others. !n pdrticular, one team managed to have a three speed bike which was stuck in third gear classified as a standard one speed bike. P.S. Bruce and Greg would like to thank all those who assisted at the Beef Bash. Wood Chips and Sawdust d. reid For. Deg. Ml Well, if Forestry still has fans, we must have faithful followers.
