The Great Race The race of the century, and it was held right here at Lakehead! 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!).
