Ontario reaps the harvest of good forest management It ' s a headline every dedicated professional forester would like to read in his lifetime. Not possible, of course. But it is possible to sow the seeds today for a better forest management program tomorrow. And we must. It ' s a slow process. Costly, too. Sometimes it seems an over- whelming prospect— to provide now for regeneration on a scale that will meet the projected needs of a society well over half a century away. It requires planning now, by skilled and experienced for- esters, of the whole forest management system, from cut layout to the regeneration of the new forest. And tending to maturity. It demands a well-rounded approach to forestry, a total resource approach, sustained over a long period of time. We ' ve come a long way since steps were first taken 30 years ago to build a comprehensive inventory and a sound manage- ment planning system for Ontario ' s forests, but we need to go f urther and faster to make our goal. And we intend to. You are the students of a pro- fession with a major stake in Ontario ' s future economy and well-being. Your decisions as future forest managers will play an essential role in the devel- opment of an even better forest management program. Together, we can make that goal we ' ve planned. And leave a proud legacy. Ministryof Hon Frank s Miller J Minister Natural Dr. J.K. Reynolds ReSOUrCeS Deputy Minister Ontario American Can of Canada Ltd. Marathon, Ont. Black Clawson- Kennedy Ltd.

REVIEW The term 1976-77 has been an interesting, eventful year for the forestry students of L.U. A great deaj. of credit is due to the LUFA executive: Wolf Schwan, Wilma Cornelissen, Frances Bennett, Jamie Corcoran, Hak Neilson and Brian Vermeersch. However, without the participation of large numbers of the student body, none of the successes would have been possible. The first LUFA event of the year was Shinerama Day, on behalf of cystic fibrosis. Under the leadership of Wilma and Wolf, this shoe shining blitz netted a record high. The annual corn roast was held at the LU woodlot, and was w j eJ | J |1 ajyj£jy L - EiJjji was actually available. first time in five years, corn trong teams in soccer, foot- The faculty of forestry was unusually active in intramural sports this year, fieli ball, broomball, all three hockey leagues, indoor soccer and basketball.

Degree II team, while four tourth year teams broke into the top ten. One week after the [.UFA competition, a men ' s team and a women ' s team represented Lakehfcad University at the Macdonald College championship in Montreal. The men ' s team finished in the middle of the field, while the women ' s team scored a win in the log splitting event of the tourney. The first gold medal ever received by Lakehead University. The Ninth Annual Symposium was concerned with the integKltion of logging and silviculture, and was ably ar- ranged by Paul Butra and his committee. The lectures and succeeding discussion were interesting and provocative. The Weyerhauser Lecture Series was competently orchestrated by Bob Mears and his committee, and the subject: Compatability of Logging and Wildlife Management, was timely and absorbing. Wfcl 4 The final event of the year was the Ski Night held at Mount Baldy. This affair was very well supported and enjoy by all. T| -ff _ Jfj| ; It is hoped the LUFA executives and members of future years may learn both from the accomplishments and the tribulations of the 1976-77 forestry year. 4 4 % vv 1 UPPER LEFT: H. 1 Enormous challenge UPPER RIGHT: R. Birston More of a challenge to see that forestry practices are car- ried out LOWER RIGHT: N. Martin Increasing public awareness of the poor state of our for- ests giving grads a better chance to effectively implement sound forest management - if they can get a job UPPER LEFT: R. Day In spite of the present situation in jobs, job opportunities will open up soon. Reasons: 1- many MNR staff are going for early retirement and are being replaced; 2- the commit- ment to grow the second forest must increase, and with it, the number of staff; 3- due to a scarcity of middle echelon people at present, opportunity for promotion will be rapid LOWER RIGHT: D. Wickett Good luck LOWER LEFT: G. Murray A real opportunity to practise forestry for those who have the patience, perseverence and are sufficiently competitive UPPER RIGHT: S. Navratil Regarding available jobs, it is not bright. However, I would like to be an optimist and predict that 50-60 per cent of the graduates will find forestry oriented positions within 1-2 years. Regarding challenge, it is enormous. You will be enter ing one of the most controversial, responsible and hopefully fruitful periods of forest policy and management changes in Ontario. I am convinced you will find it rewarding LOWER LEFT: G. Cowman I wish them the best of luck in finding a job-just don ' t get in my way LOWER RIGHT: L. Sevean I wish Greg and the class of ' 77 the best of luck UPPER LEFT: S. Zingel That whether they work in forestry or not, they obtain the right to speak up to the facts which they recognize, without being penalized by others UPPER RIGHT: G. Vanson To change forestry, foresters have to become politically active LOWER LEFT: V. Timmer A great potential in soil survey work as a basis to resource management UPPER LEFT: C. Benson Hang in there and look for the opportunities UPPER RIGHT: G. Hazenberg I don ' t know, lots of people go to Europe LOWER RIGHT: W. Parker Frustration. Geometric growth of the world ' s population and the rapid depletion of its natural resources mean an ever increasing threat to our way of life. You are in a posi- tion to help slow down this decline; but to be successful, you will have to be able to adapt UPPER RIGHT: J. Blair I think as long as they are not very selective, there will be forestry work available LOWER LEFT: K.C. Yang Promise for all of you to find the proper position in for- estry LOWER RIGHT: D. Shippam Retaining your morals UPPER LEFT: L. Vidlak For the long future, it looks very bright, but for the next year, really I do not think it is very bright. Everyone will get summer jobs, but few will get permanent jobs UPPER RIGHT: D. Mead A challenge to combine perseverence, initiative and pa- tience to promote sound forestry in Canada LOWER RIGHT: B. Moore ' Difficulty in getting a permanent job UPPER: D. Richardson The grads of 77 will be very much involved in bringing to the public, the importance of sound forest manage- ment LOWER LEFT: E. Wang An opportunity to make a positive contribution to the practice of forestr by implementing all or at least some c the ideals they have formulated LOWER RIGHT: E. Hudson ABOVE: T. Eiber You will be practicing forestry in what will be the most critical and hopefully dynamic period in Canadian forestry. Let us hope that, under your guidance, the forest will be- come the productive, managed resource we know it can be. You must be super salesmen. Your product is proper forest management. Your customers are the public, the politician, and the businessman. You know your product well, now do your job RIGHT: E.

SPORTS CLASSIFIED THE GREAT RACE The winning team of Jeff Holden (bow) and Kevin Antoniak (stern) blazed across the oil slicked finish line below the Great Lakes Mill, on the Kam River. A brief 1 hour and 57 min- utes before they crossed the starting line, 11 miles upstream. Thru rain, snow and patches of sunlight, their blistering man-killing pace of 65 strokes per minute and switching sides every 7 strokes, proved to be a winning combination. After the race, Jeff said he was hungry, while Kevin drank the wine.

We went out and played football like it ' s never been played before, in the dark. Before the sun had dropped below the shining roof of that clorinated swimming hole, we were already miles ahead, with a whole mess of points from Bowden, Bastone and Charley. Actually, light wasn ' t a real factor, after all, we were equipped with radar . In the end, we won the game, our cheerleaders ' B ' DIVISION BROOMBALL WON BY BEER SQUAD Bolstered by alumni the broomers became unbeatable in the finals.

THE FLYING CIRCUS This year ' s Flying Circus proved to be a prime example of organized chaos. Initially planned as a precise, complete educational ex- perience, it quickly decayed into a casual, hap- hazzard, hit-or-miss tour, much to the benefit and delight of the Circus members. Fueled by massive quantities of Rubi and ale, we not only discovered education but a lit- tle bit of entertainment on the side. The Circus partook in tours that ranged from handbuilt cedar strip canoes to particle board production. The Flying Circus consisted of: U-ey Chipper Nurd Big Walt Slinky Ruuskabit Carrot Skip Wacker Barfy Many thanks to those who assisted in our fund-raising.
