DRAWM, SlltAvi CAMPBELL VIVTU UELf FRjOM. t tAM U WVpLE, FROM THE TOP The big news for 1985-86 has been the big move of the School of Forestry into the Braun Building. For those of you who graduated in or before 1986, this news may strike you as being too late , but rest assured that you will always be welcome to come back and have a look , or discuss a management or research problem you may have, or perhaps to consider graduate studies. Our moving into the Braun Building has enabled us to design our teaching space as well as to specify our research space. New facilities include our micro-processor equipped (50 units) forest management laboratories, a fire control simulator room, and renovated space for wood technology, silviculture, ecology, pathology, dendrology, taxonomy, soils, entomology, and wildlife management. The facilities for photogrammetry have been greatly augmented with the computer based geographic information system in the Centre for the Application of Resources Information Systems (CARIS). Speaking of computers, our micros will soon be linked by local area networks to the mainframe of the Computing Centre, and thus to other units as well. But, if I may borrow and mangle a phrase, hardware and electronics do not a forestry school make! The faculty, staff, and students are of paramount importance, and we have had some important changes this past year. Eila Green ( the boss ) was obliged to resign in November; Kadie Chadwick joined us in December and Jane Masotti in January. Dr. Navratil resigned last year, and Dr. E. Setliff took over forest pathology; Professor J. Tanz assumed the responsibilities for photogrammetry and management in the diploma program; Professor John Blair has been on long-term disability leave with a serious knee problem; Dennis Joyce has joined us as a Post Doctorate Fellow working with Dr. Farmer; Sarah Thomson and Gary Macsemchuk joined us last summer as mensuration and forest harvesting technologist, respectively; Teresa Zago completed her term as silvicultural technologist; and research assistants Gwen O ' Reilly and Madeline Maley continue to work with Dr. Farmer and Dr. Parker. Like the curriculum, the faculty and staff are in a state of dynamic change! To all graduates, I ' m sure I speak on behalf of all in the School of Forestry in wishing you the best of luck in your personal and professional endeavours, and I trust you will maintain your stro ng linkages with the School.

Yea, .mother field school has come and gone with all the sleeping on the bus and staring blankly at the instructors that it entails. The fir-t years were introduced to the most primitive form of killing plants, tearing them apart and pressing the life out of them. The second years received more advanced training in killing plants; cut them down and run over their offspring with big tires. Degree three received more subtle training in plant killing; dig all the soil out from underneath them. By now degree fours are professional plant assassins so they slept through most of field school. All in all field school was a good start to the year as always. New friends were made, the old gangs were reunited, and a few rather bizarre experiences were had by all. Jk What channel are the Flintstones on? RGD Now let me think. I ' m sure I told the driver to come back for us. EF Last thing I remember I was at this party, and when I EF woke up I was sitting in this hole in the woods. Keep digging you slacker! EF Oh pooh! I think I just ran over a LINN AE AS BOREALIS. 14 I ' m sitting on a log pile at 9 o ' clock Saturday morning and you ask; SM How ' s it going? The excitement of Thessalon !

INITIATION In 1 85 tlu 2nd year Degree and Tech students welcomed the first year students in the traditional forestry manner. After the first years played skidder and trees, they were then led over to the forestry association ' s elegant swimming pool (AKA the pits ). Here each student was put through the gauntlet of second year students along the length of the pits. The first year students that finally emerged from the other end of the pits were slightly the worse for wear but generally happy as they were now full-fledged forestry students. Those that survived the pits joined 2nd year students by the fire to wash the mud?? out of their mouths with a few refreshments. This was a good day for all involved and will be remembered for many years to come. Bonzai ! EW Splish-splash, I was taking a bath.

After two years of having the Forestry Technical Writing Manual thrust upon us, we reverted once again to more childish fancies and underlined everything in red. But, bleary of eye and weary of bone, at the end of the year we were all satisfied that with the constraints placed upon us, we could not have improved upon the volume (net merchantable) of output which we achieved. Truly, in the words of a classmate, I survived third year is an accomplishment of which to be proud, and worthy of printing on a t-shirt. 35 A Message from the The Honourable Vincent G. Kerrio Things are happening in forestry in Ontario these days. We ' re taking stock, sharing information and changing the way we manage our forest estate. We ' re taking stock right now because our forests have reached a turning point. We need to have the best information possible to make the decisions needed to create future forests. And we want to share that information with you because we need your input into decisions affecting those forests. That ' s why Dean Gordon Baskerville of the University of New Brunswick is undertaking an independent review of our forest resources. That ' s why we released the Provincial Auditor ' s Report on Forest Management, and made public the first five reviews on how industry carried out timber management under the Forest Management Agreements signed in 1980. That ' s why we are asking you to comment on the Class Environmental Assessment that will determine how all forest management activities will be conducted in the north, as well as the south. We are also trying to improve forest management by focusing our attention on the best growing sites, sites that are also close to existing mills and good access road systems. We call these prime sites. We are also working with industry and universities to continually improve the quality of the trees we plant. And we ' ve made some important advances. As a result, by the year 2000 only genetically improved jack pine, black spruce, white pine and white spruce seedlings will be used to regenerate our prime sites. Ontario invests a lot of money in forests. We want to make sure we all get the best return on that investment. Taking stock, informing and involving people and improving the management of our forest estate. We ' re managing Ontario ' s forests for everyone. The aim is to get the most — for everyone — out of tomorrow ' s forest. Minister of Natural Resources Ministry of Natural Resources Hon. Vincent G. Kerrio Minister Mary Mogford Deputy Minister Ontario 36 With enough trees, we ' ll all breathe a little easier. Trees, like other green plants, help purify the air we all breathe, by replacing carbon dioxide with oxygen. And with all the smoke, the exhaust, and the fumes in the air today, we need all the help we can get. The point is— we need our forests like never before. And we need to manage them wisely. Our job is growing. Help us all breathe a little easier. Write for information on what you can do.

Lectures on forest management, acid rain, Indian claims on forested land and other topics were included in the World Forestry series. Our sincere thanks are extended to lecturers, many of whom came from as far away as Wisconsin, Toronto, and New Brunswick, and to the organizers for a job well done. Already, preparations are underway for the 86-87 lecture series, and it is hoped that students and faculty will continue to support this worthwhile project.

The Symposium Committee once again put together a pertinent, well-organized and professional symposium. The topic of Tar- iffs and the Canadian Forest Industry is as pertinent today as it was at the time of this symposium, and is likely to continue to be an issue for some time to come. The lec- tures were well attended on both days by students, faculty, industry, and government officials. Those fortunate enough to be present for Dr. Farmer ' s (and friends) after dinner speech , learned the Regeneration Jump as they were regaled with the folksy and musical wisdom and humor of the Un- derground Forestry Blues!

JM WOODSMEN ' S On a cold January morning, the largest Woodsmen ' s Intramural as yet attracted twenty 6- person teams and a crowd of fans to the loggers ' playground. Cheers won out against chills as pulpsticks flew, axes ricocheted, cookies rolled and gobbers reeled. The crosscut saw was the most spectacular tool and always the focus of a large cheering huddle. In the log pull, choking and skidding a log as a team at a dead run was great sport and demanded smooth cooperation. The pulp piling required skill, while the distance pulp toss tested the brawn of contestants as well. Getting the three axe events done before our aim deteriorated was a race against time. Perhaps someone will score in next year ' s axe throw if it is opened before the bottles are. The snowshoe races were short and intense, and the local brew offered to runners at midpoint favoured the well-trained. Long- distance gobbing was saved for near the end to coincide with the height o f good feelings. Mike Dan-yells. INTRAMURAL The judges Keith Windeler and J.D. Steele, by nimble footwork, would sidestep the spray drift, then dash in to find the dime sized entry hole. Unlike the more serious competition of last year, this woodsmen ' s meeting was a great party. Annette van Niejenhuis and Paul Tufford fed the crowd hot chocolate and dogs all day. Spirits flowed and soared as the all-male cham- pionship went to the veteran Alumni team starring Jim Schwass, Greg Dawson, Jim Parsons, Bill Hall, Dave Hayhurst, and Dave Pickston. The mixed team ' Upsala ' with Kevin Linquist, Sue Collins, Glen McGuinn, Peter Hanmore, Rich Mackenzie, and Cathy Wayland won in their category, and Louise Clennet, Wenda Li, Kim Verbruggen, Caroline Hawes, Marlene Rhyner and Dorothy Willis were the best women ' s team this year.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FORESTRY GRADUATES BEAVER FOODS, LTD. SPORTS AND LEISURE 1. Because it resists abrasion so well, the wood of this tree is often used for flooring in gymnasiums, ballrooms, and bowling alleys. 2. Which of the cedars bears a fruit that looks like a miniature soccer ball? 3. Some 80,000 of these trees are cut each year to supply baseball-bat manufacturers with wood that is extremely shock-resistant and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. 4. The same property that makes it one of the best woods for whittling makes it almost a sure bet that your pencil came from this tree. SCIENCE AND NATURE 1. What tree is often plagued by a fungal disease of its upper branches, and may even be identified by the so-called witches ' brooms? 2. Unlike most conifers, this one ' s foliage turns yellow in autumn. It also has cones that point upward and look like tiny roses. 3. Which of the maples exudes a milky sap when the leaf stem is broken? 4. Besides blooming in the fall, another distinguishing characteristic of this tree is its TREEvial Pursuit (Answers on page 63) wingless seed that are forcibly ejected from woody capsules as far as several feet from the tree. LITERATURE 1. Robert Frost was so fascinated with the bending ability of these trees that he wrote a poem about them. Name the tree, and you ' ll name the poem. 2. What was the tree that grew in Brooklyn, according to Betty Smith ' s classic novel? 3. The Bible says a short man named Zacchaeus climbed this tree to see Jesus. 4. In Tolkien ' s The Fellowship of the Ring, what tree swallowed 11 2 hobbits? HISTORY 1. What tree was most often scarred by western Indians who stripped the bark to obtain the edible sap of the tree ' s cambium layer? 2. In Biblical times, King Solomon built the temple of Jerusalem with these trees, which he acquired through a trade and by hiring 150,000 men to log it in Lebanon. ENTERTAINMENT 1. This Tony Orlando hit of the 1970s started a tradition involving trees and returning war veterans, POWs, and Americans held captive. 2. In the 1955 Hitchcock comedy, The Trouble with Harry, beneath what tree .was Harry buried? 3. The quality of concerts and recitals is enhanced by this tree, whose resonant wood is used for the sounding boards of guitars, pianos, and other musical instruments. 4. What type of forest marks the western limit of This land is your land in the American version? GEOGRAPHY 1. Because it is tolerant of salt spray and grows well in sandy soil, this tree is often planted in coastal areas. Hint: it ' s also a popular Christmas decoration. 2. This conifer, native to the West, has two varieties based on the elevation at which they occur. 3. A state derives its nickname from this tree. By D.A. Boerner and B.C. Stone From American Forests, Dec. 1985 60 C.I.F. RING CEREMONY How special was the H.B.Sc. Forestry class of 1986? Well it was so special that not 1 but 2 ceremonies were required to present the class with their forestry rings. Actually the second was held to present the rings which never quite made it to the first ceremony. It seems that the courier service hired to deliver the rings misplaced them. They were located just in time for the ceremony, but unfortunately in Winnipeg. Aside from the missing rings the night provided some definite memories. Who could forget the encouraging talk from Larry Lambert of the OMNR? He spoke with wisdom when he told the class that 50c and a forestry degree will get you a cup of coffee . Some other highlights of the evening were the Valedictorian speech by Ken (the-railway-wasn ' t-so-bad) Broughton and a slide show arranged by Ed Fong and Fraser. Congratulations to a future RPF ! DWI 61 THE NETHERLANDS How much can you learn from a forestry exchange with a country that has one of the poorest forests in Europe? A lot. From polder willows to douglas-fir, from idealistic students to old-fashioned farmers, the lands and people of the Netherlands make it one of the best learning environments going. Thanks to all who made this exchange possible. All photos by Al Neeb. REAL FORESTERS Real foresters dislike accountants, black flies, por- cupines and wetlands — in that order. Real foresters don ' t perspire — they sweat. Real foresters think Environmentalist is a four letter word. ' Real foresters cruise timber in the rain.

M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E! 69 LUFA REVIEW This past winter a wayward Outdoor Rec ' r asked me if there really was such a thing as L.U.F.A.? So, I sat her down on a Pj stump and, stuffing my pipe with some 1981 ARCTOSTAPHYLLOS UVA-URSI, I proceeded to regale her with the following facts: Back in the fall of ' 85 there occurred a gathering of woodsy types on the grounds of Lakehead University. These were hopeful future foresters. After 10 days of arduous field work, a Hayride BBQ took place and fun and frivolity was the order of the day. Weeks later at an event known as Crest Nite four generations of foresters gathered to perform the ancient ceremonial Boat Races at an institution that dates back beyond the dawn of L.U. foresters. Not long after, these same crazed people convened to exercise initiating rites on the new clan members. The Mclntyre River ran cold that day but spirits were high and smiles abounded. Within the month, the elite of the student lumberjacks hied themselves off to New Brunswick to prove the existence of L.U.F.A. Only a month later, the tree people joined forces with the Florence Nightingales and staged a Hawaiian LUAU that left people thirsting for a visit to the real islands. Another month passed and, when most university types were absorbed in books and studies, those wild and wonderful woodwhackers held a fund-raiser for the Toys For Tots Christmas drive and worked with L.U.C.F. on a Christmas food drive as well. Both were claimed a success. And they said we didn ' t care! Soon after the Christmas New Year break these same stick biters presented a public symposium on the effect of U.S. tariffs on Canadian lumber exports to make the public aware of the threat and impact on the forest industry nationwide. A dinner dance followed and on the whole it was deemed a class event. In February, our tireless Woodsmen teams organized and ran an Intramural Woodsmen Competition open to the University. It was the hit of the Winter Carnival, truly an A-l job! By mid-March it was time to officially recognize the eldest of the clan and bid them farewell and bonne chance. So the Regenerates were honoured at the C.I.F. non-Ring Ceremony and dinner dance. Soon afterward a similar tribute was paid to the graduating technical members of the clan, the Terminators. Finally, the Forestry Folk Night took place with the help and participation of numerous forestry school staff. Thanks to those who participated and attended, a donation of $300 was made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Meanwhile, throughout the year while all these main events occurred many dedicated individuals gave of themselves and their time to assist in the orchestration of a weekly lecture series as well as produce this publication. Also, many foresters teamed up and participated in intramural sport leagues, further making our presence known. The Rec ' r commented that it was really only a small handful of people that did all of this. Slowly I shook my head and informed her that organizers are always a necessity but that the strength of any group comes from its members. And so, even though a few set up the aforementioned events, had it not been for the clan there would have been no need to do it and if not for the clan there would have been no success. But there was success in the 85 86 year of L.U.F.A. because L.U.F.A. is all of the student foresters and a force to be reckoned with. I wish to thank all those who gave of themselves to help make the year what it was, and on behalf of the 85 86 executive, I wish all LU foresters every success in their future endeavours. 72 Paul Tufford The Prez.

That, of course, is a very big WE . To all the fine people who worked on this publication-in photography, advertising and sales, and layouts- to our advertisers, and to you the reader, Thank you. The happy thoughts and memories of camaraderie and friendship, and the kinship we feel in our chosen profession are marred only by the sad loss of two of our classmates. In August of 1985, Ivar Luksep, then only 19, lost his life in a tragic automobile accident. The car in which he was a passenger went out of control and struck a wall. Ivar died instantly; the driver was seriously injured. The following summer, in June of 1986, Raimo Kanala, 23 years old and a recent graduate of the degree program, was returning home late one evening from the Landmark. A pedestrian on the highway, he was struck by a car and killed. Sadly, alcohol was a factor in both of these accidents. Although already dedicated to the Art of Forestry, I would like to extend that dedication here and now to Ivar and Raimo. They are fondly remembered and sadly missed. May we never have the misfortune to experience such tragic circumstances again. Best of luck to the degree and tech grads of ' 86! May you never learn the U.I. Shuffle !
