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

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

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
