Gord Turner Nickname: Gink esq. Work Experience: Geophysics and Junior Mapper Um ex , summer 197 6 Contract line cutting and staking Winter 1976-77 Senior Mapper, Umex, summer 1977 Contract staking, winter 1977 Thesis Topic: A Comparative Study of the Genesis Of a Massive Sulphide Showing, Savant Lake Gord is a member of the infamous Wiley Street Revue. A site of wide intoxicating parties, Gord is frequently seen leaving it in less than perfect state in an attempt to make it to those 9:30 geochemistry classes. As well as selling T-shirts, playing depart- ment hockey, and extensive testing of local ski hills, Gord oc- casionally is found working in the Mineral Deposits Laboratory. Having his home in Brampton Ontario and working with UMEX for 2 summers he has travelled around considerably. His future plans include being a successful exploration geologist. Cord ' s thesis topic is a detailed study of a massive sulphide occurence of the Copper -Lead-Zinc type located 7 miles north of Savant Lake Ontario. Research on the property includes geological and geophysical interpretations and sampling for detailed geochemical analysis. Extensive mineralogical work with thin sections and polished sections was also prepared. The ultimate objective of the research is to compare the genesis of this showing with the model proposed by Sangster in 1972 and to consider relationships with the processes operative at Mattabi as described by Franklin in 1975.

Bernie Schnieders Nickname: Bruno Work Experience: Oil Field Geologist, Atlantic- Richf ield Summer 1976, Alberta Junior Assistant, Noranda Summer 1977, N.W.T. Thesis Topic: Determination of Volcanic Terrain; Silicified Pillow Breccias or Agglomerates Bernie is one of the more talented members of our fourth year class. His travelling music show complete with guitar and banjo have entertained everyone, (except that particular French girl.) Bernie has asperations of opening Bernie ' s Tackle Shop as soon as he makes enough money after graduation. I guess Bernie wants to be a geologist at some time, as long as it doesn ' t interfer with his fishing and hunting too much. He has spent one summer working for Noranda in the Northwest Territories, and it sounds as if he had a real ' blast ' . If worse comes to worse, I ' m sure he has great potential as a manager of an A P store. Bernie is writing his thesis on some volcanic units he worked on this summer in the Northwest Territories, trying to determine if the fragments are silicified pillow breccias or agglomerates. ' Bruno ' can hardly wait to graduate, since all this school ' bullshit ' interferes with his regular visits to the College dances. He ' ll probably never be quite the same after spending the winter at the ' Pink Paradise ' , but I guess its not quite as bad as the ' Wiley Street ' life.

I Roman Tykajlo Nickname: Romulus Stickus Work Experience: Junior Assistant, Noranda (Winnipeg) Keewatin District, N.W.T., (Uranium) Summer 1977 Thesis Topic: Strain Ellipsoid in Archean Conglomerates, Shaba qua, Ontario Roman is the better half of the Dipstick relationship, i.e. the Stick, alias Romulus Stickus . He is our token Ukranian in the Geology Department. Roman can be found in his structural lab anal- ysing the structures of the fairer sex passing in the hall. He never quits his work, even on tea breaks in the cafeteria he is still doing his analysis. When he is not busy studying structures, he can be heard muttering quel bummer as he wades through his assignments. His pet peeve is the Geology Year IV class since his lab is always used for their discussion periods. Although Roman is supposedly in Geology he actually prefers Physics and hopes to emulate our favourite Physics professor, John. Roman hopes to eventually become a foreman for GM. Deformed conglomerates are useful in the study of strain in that the sand and pebble sized clasts become homogeneously strained from essentially an original ellipsoid to a final ellipsoid which is markedly different from the original. This can be done by several methods. The shape and orientation of the final ellipsoid can be determined by measuring axial ratios and angular deflections of major axes on three mutually perpendicular sections, then combining this two dimensional information into a three dimensional model.
