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.
