This Book is Dedicated to the Memory of mmw J Spurgeon ' EXPERIENCES University is a living as well as learning experience. In time you will realize that ... I RhS it wasn ' t just sitting in a lecture theatre. It was a place where you expanded your horizons ... ' i and experienced the meaning of friendship. You will have learned the importance of experiences. Field School Field school is where they expect you to do things you haven ' t been taught yet, using tools they don ' t give you. But it still beats sitting in a lecture theatre, and getting homework assignments. PI . HEY! ! That ' s my finger you ' re standing on. P2. Now is it 10 degrees and 35 degrees or ... P3.

A great time was had by all involved, well almost all. Especially those 3 teachers who did a little late night shit disturbing and filled in the pits. Great show guys and girls. Brownie points go to the crew who tried to rush the pits earlier in the evening. They out numbered the guardians of the pit 2 to 1 but didn ' t stand a chance against chainsaw sound effects. After digging out the pits 2nd year was ready to give the 1st year students hell, which they did. Next year is your chance for revenge guys. PI. You ' re in good hands with ... P2.

Say BIG BOY, wha ' ch ya doin ' tonight??? 11 Put a Shine on! Ht ' .KAMA nAYll RIOAjrSEPT R SAM, Shinerama, the annual shoe-shining blitz in aid of Cystic Fibrosis, was once again dominated at Lakehead University by the Foresters. Elizabeth DeGroot, a forestry Degree 111 student and Shinerama Co-ordinator for 1979, reported that Tech I (way to go Teachers!) had the largest turn-out of shoe-shiners on September 28. Once Dorothy Bush put on her clown act (doesn ' t she always?) along with Gwen O ' Reilly. Prizes were awarded on a money-coUected-per- person basis. First place was captured with a day-long effort by Tim Grant and Ugo Feunekes of Degree I. Together, they collected $292.13. Last year ' s winner, Hugh Hughson, Alumni Tech Graduate of 1979 now in Natural Sciences II 1 2. picked up second place with a total of $130.18. Third place was awarded to Shannon Stone and Dave Wadsworth of Degree III. They shined $204.29 worth of shoes. Once again, thanks to all participants and organizers for putting a shine on some less fortunate child ' s face. 12 Tug of War HEAVE!!! Naw, it ' s only the engineers so we don ' t have to. We all know engineers suck and not only that they don ' t float worth a damn either! We tested that saying on Friday, October 13, 1979 and found that it was true so we had to cancel our spring cut and river drive of engineers on the Mclntyre. After it was over we knew that we would have to eliminate them by other means. A hasty attack on their smaller phallic symbol (cannon) failed, but we were not discouraged. On that day, as on most, the foresters had great enthusiasm. We out-numbered the engineers (who believe that if equipped with a hand-held calculator they can be a match for a forester with a chainsaw) by a mile, and even offered a rematch. Instead, the black-bottomed box boys stole the rope (along with everything else in our office). Despite that, we are still here and wiUing to test the floatability of an engineer, this year or next. The engineers will never stand a chance because although the models are always being redesigned, the foresters adapt at an incredible rate, without losing strength, vitality, or spirit. L.U. FORESTERS, GO FOR IT! RES RES 13 Who ' s on First? Septemberr 29, 1979 ... a date that will surely be remembered forever. Yes, that cool, damp, dreary Saturday was highlighted by the annual LUFA Softball Tournament. When the smoke cleared and the beer bottles emptied. The Whoppers emerged as champions despite being pre- tournament ' unfavourites ' . Walter ' s team from Degree IV was victorious in the consolation round. Tech II showed up with a 12-member contingent but bowed out of the tournament after two early defeats. The Ginkgos (Degree II) disappointed the crowds with their lack of victory while the Reefers (Degree III) were the ' happiest ' players around - win or lose. Construction crews have already begun to upgrade P. A. Stadium for next year ' s tourney. See you at the ball park! • iliiiliilllil glil; PI RA 15 The Kam-Am ' 79 On the frosty Sat. morning of Oct. 14, 46 participants and 5 organizers prepared for the umpteenth annual race. 1 he 13 mile race started at the junction of Hwy. 130 and the Kam River and finished just down-river of the Great Lakes Paper mill. All three categories were won by Outdoor Rec. ' ers but the foresters had more fun. 1 mean, why not stop to pick up 3 soccer balls, one volleyball, a hard hat and a baseball bat? Those who enjoyed the race obviously didn ' t come first. Many thanks to Dan Pyke, Mark Finstad, Ramune Beresnevicius and Geoff NichoUs for their help. KAM-AM RESULTS 1.

On the bright and sunny Oct. 16 afternoon, 7 racing teams were lined up at the start, ready and waiting. Count down, and then off!! Across the road and down the sidewalk. Oooppsss!!! Yes, you were supposed to go down the ramp, not over the railing; a slight casualty but the race goes on. Up the stairs, change runners and hurry to the finish line. It was a close encounter with the transit bus (acts of God even happen in shopping cart races) so Degree IV takes the lead and keeps it to the finish. Racing in The Great Shopping Cart Race were none other than Big Jim Slade with his harum. Snoopy and (Yes) the Red Baron, one other Degree II team and one entry each from Degree I, Tech II, Degree III and Degree IV. Many thanks to SAFEWAY STORES for supplying the racing vehicles and to Bill Wiltshire for delivering them to L.U. and back. Construction is already underway on a multi-million dollar track for the 1981 Summer Games so don ' t forget to tune up your cart. RESULTS: Neely, Pawson, Ward McCormack, Essau, Stevens Kutz, Feunekes, Grant Nesbitt, Dillabough, Graham Day, Anderson, Doyle Wiltshire, Beresnevicius, MacPherson Bush, O ' Reilly, Czempinski LUFAgate On October 25, 1979, The LUFAgate affair was blown wide open as forestry students joined forces to voice their dissension at the fumble-fingered handling of the affair by LUSU. To refresh your memory ... the engineer ' s cannon was misplaced (cheers! to the Group of Nine) on Thanksgiving weekend. Following that, a forestry pathology display was removed from the 3rd floor of the Centennial Building (later recovered, but damaged). A firecracker bomb was used in a poorly attempted assassination try. Our path of escape from the CORN ROAST was blocked by felled trees. Last but not least, the LUFA office was entered by the Plumber ' s break and enter squad. Furniture, trophies, yearbook supplies, signs etc. were removed and a colourful stain was added to the floor. On Oct. 24, LUFA was informed 2 hours before a General Meeting that the club was temporarily un- clubbed due to irreconcilable differences with our friends next door. To put it mildly, we were pissed right off, so on October 25 at 11:30 a.m., 70 rowdy foresters voiced their discontent in a 2 hour sit-down shout-out protest in front of the LUSU office. To further voice our displeasure, the local paper and TV stations were called in to cover our peaceful but noisy demonstration. Well, the cannon is now back upon the Centennial Building lawn and our furniture has been recovered, but the memory lives on (and engineers still suck!).

Dr. Knudson of Perdue University talked about the sivacultural aspects of FORESTRY IN BRAZIL. While he lived in Brazil he helped to start two schools of forestry. Mr. Spanger talked about and gave an extremely interesting slide presentation on harvesting in the Amazon Basin. After hearing his presentation we shall watch for news of this grand forestry experiment. Many thanks to the organizers of this lecture: Walt Ellis, Gord King, Pete DeGroot, Rob Janser, Mike Kosyk, and Leslie Hawkins. THIS PAGE: PI. Walt Ellis P2. Dr. Knudson THAT PAGE: PI.

In the middle ot downtown Port Arthur, teams of foresters fought bra elv to keep the fire burning to let Thunder Bay know that WE EXIST! . After using a box of matches and a litre of ' Boy Scout Miracle Fire Starter ' (27.4C 1) Ian finally got the fire going on Sunday, January 20, 1980 at 4:00 pm sharp! (approx.). All week long, cries of More .... wood! were heard down in the LUFA office, but the fire burnt on (almost all week long, eh Degree 111?). Fortunately, there were only minor (no one fell into the fire like someone did at initiation and at the corn roast) accidents, i.e. burnt pants (both sides yet), frost bite, a small fender-bender and burning gas cans. Let ' s see if next year, we can really let T. Bay know that we exist. P8 RES THAT PAGE: PI. Bet ya can ' t start it with only one matcli! P2. Oh Yah? No sweat ... P3. ... I ' ll show him. P4. Oh Hell! Next time for sure! THIS PAGE: P5. Your pants are on fire. P6. Boy do I feel dumb standing out here freezing my buns off. P7. This is the life. P8. Ignore him and maybe he won ' t take our picture. 25 Forest Biomass That was the topic of the 12th annual LUFA Symposium. Dr. Harold Young opened the Symposium with a history of the development of Forestry and the study of Biomass. The talk was highlighted with a slide show. On Saturday morning. Bill Raitanen talked about the work he is doing with hybrid poplar in Southern Ont. and on the silvacultural aspects of Forest Biomass. He showed some really amazing slides, for example, a 9 year-old poplar the same size as a 27 year-old Red Pine. Dennis Bradley talked about his studies on Complete Tree Harvesting, the use of the whole tree including the branches and roots. He also discussed some inventory problems he has run across, for example, the inadequacy of current inventory methods and the lack of data concerning the crowns and roots of trees. Bob Haig talked about the possibility of using wood for energy in the near future. After Supper, Professor Hearnden gave a sermon on Forestry in Biblical times. (What is the second oldest profession ...?) Then came the drinking, socializing, drinking, dancing, drinking, talking, drinking more dancing, and just a little drinking just for the hell of it. Many thanks to those who attended and to the speakers. Now lets see a few more of you out next year, you might even see some of your friends dressed in something other than jeans and t-shirts. RES 27 Chez Montreal! This year ' s Woodsman ' s team had a great time in Montreal, as usual. From Thunder Bay to Montreal (27 hours as guests of VIA Rail); from the crazy humour of James and company, to t he annoying game of basketball at 3:00 a.m. (eh Joan?); from Montreal back to T. Bay - it will be remembered by those involved for a long time.

Sweet Vivienne Ball Bill Wiltshire Ingrid Russell Despite the very cold weather, enthusiasm was high. Although 1st place honours were elusive for both teams, Guylaine placed 2nd in the snowshoe race for the second consecutive year, Vivienne Ball claimed 3rd place in the chainsaw event. Ed Morrice came 4th in the dot split. Both Lakehead teams slipped in the overall standings from the previous year, but already there have been murmurings of Watch out next Year!

Ian McCormack - Public Relations LUFA Review Well, LUFA was anything but dead this year! After raising shit in the pits at initiation, we raised the same at a sit-in after losing our budget when someone, (Group of Nine, who are you?!?), stole the cannon. It was good for club spirit, if nothing else. In between pranks, we had a softball tourney, fairly well attended in spite of the poor weather. The Kam-am canoe race went well, even with an extra loop in the river, and the Corn Roast that followed was a riot, though our way home was paved with trees. Shinerama was again dominated by foresters, and to further our good will in the community, we held a Salvation Army Christmas Drive. Something else new was our first annual shopping cart race, many thanks to Safeway! Weyerhouser went smoothly, with a good turnout and interesting speakers. After the Christmas hoUdays, it was back to the old grind, helped along by a tubing party, the Winter Carnival with a Ski Night, Woodsmen ' s Competition, and Bushman ' s Brawl, then Symposium, the Montreal Woodmen ' s Competition, a hockey tourney and Triangle Park Campout. Course evaluations were handed out, leather jackets were sold (whether they fit or not), and we looked continually for new ideas - some of which were a car rally and a dance-a-thon. LUFA is continuing to grow. It looks like there ' s a lot of potential. In conclusion, we would like to thank all those people who donated their time and helped make the club a success, even with some executive turnover. We can only encourage everyone in forestry to GET INVOLVED. Come down to the LUFA office and visit, and help your club. Lynn Pawson, LUFA President Competition Unlimited 32 B. Sc. F.

Within the past several years, a widening public and political recognition of the need for the implementation of the principles and practices of sustained yield forest management has become apparent. In mid 1979, for example, a report Forestry Imperatives for Canada , was prepared for the Canadian Council of Resource and Environment Ministers. The following statement appears in that report: Canada has allowed much of its most productive forest land to revert to a non-productive state. Firm action must be taken to correct this in order to stop the current decline of the forestry industry in many regions of Canada. And also to provide the opportunity for industrial expansion in the future. The opportunities of future job creation and industrial development occur in all regions of Canada and are limited only by the degree of emphasis we place on forest renewal and improvement today. A recognition of the need for the kind of firm action referred to above, by one large, forest products company is indicated in a recent article in the Globe and Mail. The article reports the concern of the President of the Mac- Millan Bloedel Company that, ... British Columbia itself is running out of harvestable trees and even MacMillan Bloedel with the largest timber allocation on the Coast, is bumping against the ceiling of being able to supply our B.C. operations . The Directors of the Company will be considering this month a multimillion dollar increase in spending on planting, fertilizing, thinning and improved data keeping. Similar measures are being planned or implemented by other major forest products companies, especially in Western Canada, and there are indications that the major companies in Eastern Canada, especially in Ontario, will be accepting increasing responsibility for the more efficient harvesting and renewal of the forest. Finally, we have reason to hope that, after more than a century and a half of forest exploitation and destruction, we shall see the advancement of sustained yield forest management in Canada. Finally, we have reason to anticipate that the principles and techniques of forestry, as taught in forestry schools across the country, will be carried into practice. In behalf of the faculty members and staff of the School of Forestry I extend our sincere good wishes to all of our students for satisfying and challenging careers in forest resources management in Canada.

By providing seminars and field demon- strations on proper forest practices, the Ministry of Natural Resources is proudly participating in the education of tomor- row ' s foresters and technicians. It is to this group of dedicated young people, who have accepted the challenge, of renewing and preserving the beauty and abundance of our natural wood- lands, that we most sincerely extend our thanks and the future thanks of genera- tions yet to come.

Another deadline to be met, the FINAL one. That means that I can ' t put off writing this message any longer. Out of curiosity, I looked at some old yearbooks that covered 18 years and spanned the country from Nova Scotia to B.C., to see what other editors have said. Funny, but four of those books didn ' t have an editor or a staff, they just sort of happened. For- tunately we didn ' t have that problem this year. I had more people offering to help than I knew what to do with. Especially in the photography department. That was fantastic because photos are what the book is made of. In this way we got a better cross-section of the faculty represented in the book. To those of you whose pictures weren ' t used THANK YOU for sub- mitting them anyway. Please keep on submitting them because without your extra help the book would lack depth, which would be the beginning of the end of the book. When it came to doing the layouts there also never was any shortages of help. Usually I had more people offering to do work than I had the room or equipment to keep them busy, so they took turns. Chris and Wiet did most of the layout for the first deadline in the first lounge of E-House while I was busy in the darkroom trying to keep them supplied with photos. On the way to meeting our third deadline Mark and Guy worked on layouts in the LUFA office until almost 3 AM, on a school day. Randy was in constantly pestering me for pages to lay out. And then there was the time 5 of us worked on one layout for one and one-half hours trying to get it done and in the mail on time. These are just a few of the events that went into the creation of this book. A special word of thanks has to go to Mark Stevens. He was the one who saw to it that everyone got his copy of last years book, he masterminded the ad- vertising sales campaign and managed to bring in enough money to keep the book in the black. He also organized the sales of this years books and says that he will do the distribution of the books when they arrive this spring. All of this was on top of his regular class work and his LUFA Exec, position. It was because of his extra-ordinary efforts that I was able to concentrate on the photography and layout of the book. This year we tried a few new ideas in the book. Hopefully they will add to your enjoyment of the book, now and in years to come. If there is something about the way the book was laid out that you didn ' t like, or that you Did like, please tell us. The yearbook staff, especially the editor cannot read your minds, so come in and tell US instead of bitching to your friends about how stupid the yearbook is. Until YOU tell US what you want, the book will consist of what the editor wants to see, which is not necessarily what you want. Remember, the HARVEST is YOURbook, and what you want is important.
