SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry - Empire Forester Yearbook (Syracuse, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 150 of the 1969 volume:

l do not see why lshould e'er turn back, Or those should not set forth upon my track To overtake me, who should miss me here And long to know if l still held them dear. They would not find me changed from him they knew- Only more sure of all I thought was true. Robert Frost- Out from Here EMPIRE FORESTER Published By THE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF FORESTRY At Syracuse University E ditor-in-Chief JANE H OYLE R Layout Editor ANN MEISER Copy Editor LEN CAREY Photo Editor DWIGHT FOLTS SOCIAL 20 SENIORS 38 DEPARTMENTS 62 ORGANIZATIONS 84 ACTIVITIES 116 Dedication A professor or dean she is not, but because she has so ably used her vast amount of experience and sense to aid each one of us on this cam- pus, we dedicate this 1969 edition of the EMPIRE FORESTER to Mrs. Bea- trice Spear. As a student's first contact in any situation he should encounter, he will find Mrs. Spear to be sometimes strict, but always warm, friendly, sympa- thetic, and most helpful. Through her efforts and initiative room 107 Bray Hall has found the solutions or channels for student problems of all kinds. Mrs. Spear is a person whom we feel works closely with the students, often to the point of putting them first in her efforts. She has earned the admiration and respect of faculty, staff, and students by her willingness and skill in bridging the gap in communications. 4 ef,- 1 wx M ix , , .,., I , r l-Q. 9 lX', i f 'Xiu , 2 ff C3 -Q if 5 Editorial Few people are really aware of the growth and change in their environment. They only perceive the total accumulated changes of size, development, reform, ideals and personali- ties. The differential transitions go by unnoticed. The staff of the Empire Forester has worked hard to expose the growth and change at our college whether large or small. The photo- graph captures an entity of time, momentarily freezing all changes. The copy serves as a supplement to the pictures, and also summarizes the new developments in and around the college. Robert Frost seems to bear direct relation on the senior class in an excerpt of his poem Out From Here. As seniors we can look back on our four years here at the college and now turn to face the future. We realize that the freshman will face many of the same problems, but some will find things a little easier as a result of our innovations. New facilities will provide a greater opportunity for the future students to sur- pass our discoveries. Certainly we too have changed, if only to move a little closer to those goals and truths we hold most dear. To communicate this feeling and produce a natural sponta- neity in the yearbook, we relied predominately on candid pho- tographs. This puts more emphasis on the student as an indi- vidual in his relationships with his peers and with the faculty. To brighten this effect we have introduced the use of color. A yearbook is designed to be interpreted and accepted differently by each individual. Hopefully within the book, there is something to which each student can relate. But be- cause only a few took the responsibility or accepted the job, our scope has remained limited. Those who contributed their time and efforts, shared in the responsibility, experienced a feeling of accomplishment, and suffered with sleeplessness and anguish can only feel satisfied that they have tried to bring you an original and meaningful 1969 Empire Forester. j.e.h. 6 l I 1 if .J fx if -Af , Phyllis S.

They had grown slowly together, brick by brick, through the seasons of the previous year, and now they were full grown. Their innards hummed with students, faculty, and machines, but their front doors were strung in green. This was their day, their dedication day. Today they would be on display. They would be spoken of, photographed, written about, and toured. They would be trod through by notables and unknowns, faculty and students alike. The ribbon crossing their doors would be cut, and the doors would be open, displaying their interior to those who wished to see it. Today they would be dedicated, as were the men whose names they bore, to the advancement of education in forestry. l 8 - - Q , s -M- W 9 ' W5 WW , e. f. - J , f F , L , QQPQ W f L I .. f ,,,, i , . f , p 'firwf' PQ ,,, . as 1 .

But the door to student services is rarely closed, as it invites troubles of all kinds, and often receives them. Missed convocations, draft difficul- ties, financial needs, all are funneled through the door of student services, where they help to find a solution. Here on the first floor of Bray Hall, work is traditionally done earnestly and with high quality, so that a stu- dent forester may have an easier time throughout his four years. This is where the records are kept, where programs and activities around the College are coordinated, and where problems of all sizes and shapes end up. Mr. A.

Burry, wood utilization team Cochran, public relations officer Mr. R. Karns, publications editor Public education as to the proper practice of forestry, and public information concern- ing the events and happenings of our Col- lege, both have a history nearly as old as the College itself. Using the same broad concept of forestry found in the classroom and all of the media at their disposal, the staff of the Office of Public Service and Continuing Ed- ucation keeps the public well informed and educated. This office annually issues technical and semi-technical bulletins, holds short courses for business and industry, offers a team of specialists to aid companies with problems, and maintains a tree pest information serv- ice. A lot of information is distributed to the public through the use of radio, TV, films, and booklets. A new TV-film-radio produc- tion studio and increased office space will greatly increase the output of this office. 17 Dr. H. Miller, extension Mrs. E. Jordan, secretary g ,,., Mr. B. Knouse, assistant librarian Library Geographically, academically, and socially, Moon Memorial Library is the center of the for- estry campus. lts carpeted floors are trod daily by students studying, doing research, browsing through the Robin Hood leisure reading section, or merely skimming through periodicals. lts rooms bustle with the activity of offices or meetings in progress, and its lounges provide places to so- cialize with friends or relax for a brief moment between classes. The new building has increased shelf capacity to allow a greater number of volumes to be avail- able for student and faculty use, and space has been set aside for two additional servicesg a lis- tening room and a collection of archives. 18 Prof. T.

Manion, assistant professor First as a freshman with Dr. Morrison, later out with 'Ketch' on a Dendro trip, and maybe eventu- ally studying mitochondria through a microscope, or viewing the ecology of the high peaks through a telescope, each forester receives some per- spective of nature from the Department of Forest Botany and Pathology. Through four years of edu- cation, he acquires both an understanding of the intricacies of the plant world, and an appreciation of it's beauty. Revisions are being made to better utilize the new facilities of lllick Hall, to keep pace with rapid developments in biology, and to improve articulation with community colleges. New courses are being added, and even more planned, to increase the instructional scope of this department, and the graduate enrollment has reached an all time high of 32. S. Silverborg, professor M.

Walton, assistant professor The tree reduced to its molecular constituents, the chemistry of its physiological processes, and the chemical intricacies of natural products are the three folds of emphasis for the Department of Forest Chemistry. This department has an interna- tional reputation as an innovator for many new fields of research and development. The Polymer Research Institute has been des- ignated the State University Polymer Research Center, and has been given the responsibility of encouraging polymer research and education throughout the state. The Chemical Ecology Lec- ture Series is sponsored jointly with the Division of Biological Sciences. These new responsibilities are a part of a larger role in continuing education for this department. The Computer Center serves nearly every de- partment in the College in some manner. lt has also taken on the responsibility for the program- ming needs for several state agencies. Heavy use by graduate students and faculty researchers continues, and the center has expanded its in- structional service by teaching two courses in computer use. This room in Baker Lab puts out a lot of service for a student forester. 66 J. Hook, visiting assistant professor J. Moore, manager computer center 1. K rf. . , fa 1- C. Schuerch, chairman Chemistry and Computer Center R. Baum, assistant professor 67 Forest Economics and World Forestry i f.1.,gA C. Larson, director: World Forestry Institute J. Bennett, assistant professor lt's not enough to know how to do something-you have to know why, to achieve an understanding of the method. In eco- nomics courses with Dr. Bennett, and later, perhaps, with Dr. Christiansen, the student forester learns to better understand the forester's goals and how he works with society and re- sources to meet them. The growing graduate student body of the Department of Forest Economics ,integrates a wide range of specialized fields, including sociology, psychology and mathematics, to secure a well rounded view of the economics of forestry. The department also sponsors a broad research program aimed to help define and solve New York State's forestry problems, and also to develop new methods and techniques required to apply economic theory to forest based activities everywhere. The World Forestry Institute has involved itself with a wide range of international agencies and universities for a broad geographic scope of interest. This allows graduate students in this department to do their research and study abroad. 68 'ff- if Ml N. Christiansen, associate professor G. Armstrong, associate professor W. Duerr, chairman 69 J. Simeone, chairman F. Kurczewski, assistant professor Entomology 70 The study of insect life can cover over one million species, or approxi- mately ninety percent of the Earth's animal life, but the Department of Forest Entomology doesn't cover all of this. It does study the life history and ecology of insects affecting for- ests and forest products. The variety of courses included in it's curriculum takes a student from an 'apprecia- tion' of the mosquito on his neck to an understanding of its ecology, mor- phology, physiology, and classifica- tion. The insectary, greenhouse, and in- creased laboratory and office space of lllick Hall has meant an expanded research scope and improved in- struction facilities. The graduate pro- gram covers the biochemical and ecological aspects of insect life, es- pecially as affected by man with his insecticides and pollutants. J.

Sullivan, instructor Every business or agency needs able managers and engineers to ad- minister it and help it build its future, and that is the job of the Department of Forest Management, to supply lib- erally educated managers and capa- ble engineers to meet the growing demands of forestry. This department is sometimes said to represent the traditional concept of forestry , but it offers a diverse spectrum of spe- cialization for a student foresters education. Surveying is just an introduction to this department. A more personal re- lationship will follow classes in statis- tics, engineering, photogrammetry, mensuration, and outdoor recreation. The forest engineering section of this department offers its graduates the opportunity for lucrative jobs, and has more than doubled in the past two years as a result. A.

Williams, associate professor Architects, gardeners, whatever they may be called, jokingly, respectfully, putting beauty into the center of urban rot takes an artist's dedication and skill. It takes midnight oil, dreary eyes, break- fasts at four in the morning, but good times, hard times, and a lot of time, for this, the School of Landscape Architecture. Hours in the lab, drawing and redrawing, trips to Farmingdale, New England, and Washington, D.C., all are part of the undergraduate education for landscape architects. After four years of prep- aration, graduates of this school relate aesthetics and function to man in his outdoor environment, to make the highways, countrysides, and cities more pleasing to look at and live in. 75 t ,J-1 Paper Science and Engineering F. O'Neil, chairman A new name, a new building, and an expanded curriculum-the Depart- ment of Paper Science and Engineering. This department has not only grown with its profession, but has even changed its name from what was once the Department of Pulp and Paper Technology, to make it more indic- ative ofthe program and curriculum of the department. East of Bray Hall looms the facility presently known as the Wood Fiber and Paper Laboratory. This new facility will provide an additional 63,000 square feet of space and will offer expanded scope and depth coverage through the use of the most modern equipment for teaching and research in the areas of pulp, paper and chemical engineering. To utilize this growth in facilities, the department has expanded and fractionated its curriculum to include two options, one in science and one in engineering. The inclusion of these two options will enable the student to 'enter into the many facets of the paper industry or continue his studies to earn an advanced degree. 11 'QM 76 J I T. Stenuf, associate professor 77 5 1 C. Farnsworth, chairman L. Herrington, assistant professor A. Leaf, professor Where else can an undergraduate taste an acid soil, graft White Pine, thin Red Pine from above, and measure solar radiation in the rain, than in the Silviculture Department. The number of places members of this depart- ment work is indicative of the wide scope of its research and instructional base. Silviculturists can be found on Heiberg Forest measuring wind speed, direction, and temperature, in their labora- tories testing the chemical content of a soil, or in a classroom, lecturing on ecology. This department, too, is undergoing fluxg a in facilities, and a change in personnel, a growth continuous review of programs, to accompany the broadening physical resource lege. Forest Soils has already base of the Col- relocated in lllick Hall, and the rest of the department expects soon to move into greater laboratory facilities in a ren- ovated Marshall Hall. Throughout this physical growth, the academic programs of the Silviculture Department have continued to evolve. Increased cooperation be- tween the different parts of the department, and with other departments, has yielded an improved and updated Summer camp as a direct result. 78 R '4 5 3 .1 r ., . A'-- .

Smith, associate professor Wood Products Engineering Wood is an integral part of forestry, but espe- cially in the Department of Wood Products Engi- neering. In the confines of Baker Laboratory, members of this department study the production of wood products from the processing of the raw log to the finished product. The curriculum of this department has been re- vised to include three options: Wood Science, Production Engineering, and Materials Marketing. In a field of increasing specialization, this revi- sion will allow each student to increase his knowl- edge of his field and still carry a reasonable num- ber of general education courses. The research program has broadened its em- phasis to include materials other than wood used by the wood products industries. Research has continued in the wood-polymer combinations, re- sulting in several new products. Another interest- ing research project showing great promise is the study of the properties and processing proce- dures for ammonia-treated wood. 80 J. Siau, associate professor R. Moore, associate professor E. Anderson, chairman M. Alexander, chairman ' -i ' 1311211 , ,,,., Ft. Chambers, assistant professor The strategy of life, the ecology of the animal, its' physiology, behavior, anatomy, and genetic origing all are subjects for study by the Depart- ment of Forest Zoology. This department works to expand the basic knowledge of all animals as they exist in all media of the forest environment, and applies this information to enable man to better utilize his own environment. From the time he dissects a worm as a freshman until as a senior he breeds fruit flies, a zoo major is intimately involved with the biomass. The increased facilities of Illick Hall, with its modern equipment, has allowed an expanded curriculum. The Roosevelt Wildlife Collection and an invertebrate collection, are both housed in adequate space for improved use. The depart- ment also carries on activities in Forest Wildlife Biology on the Huntington Wildlife Forest, in the central Adirondacks. 82 Zoology W. Graves, assistant professor D.

The purpose of this organization is to promote the individual welfare of each student, and to further the interests of the student body through the activities of the council and council- sponsored organizations. At the weekly meetings of the council, activities are approved, complaints are heard, and issues are discussed. A student can attend any or all meetings that he chooses, and has a voice in any matters that concern him. Council members are also members of faculty and administrative committees, where they repre- sent the student in issues that affect him. By working with or around the administration, the council aims to satisfy the student academically and socially. 86 FORESTRY COUNCIL hw...

For five hours class and council officers conferred with an equal number of faculty and administrators concerning items of student interest. Those attending this conference split into three discussion groups to talk about communications, traditions, and the curriculum. Even over lunch, students continued to trade thoughts with professors and administrators over subjects ranging from a dorm for forestry stu- dents to the expected affect of the transfer stu- dent on the curriculum. Out of this Student Lead- ers Conference came a lot of material. Already action is resulting from the recommendations brought forth by members of the conference. 90 STUDENT LEADERS CONFERENCE GRADUA TE STUDIES There are shelves of theses in Moon Memorial Library, and every year, like in trees, there is an annual increment to the dimensions of these shelves as each department's crop of graduate students complete their research. This graduate thesis is, however, only one function of graduate study, for it also gives a student a chance to instruct undergraduates, ex- change concepts with fellow graduate students from all parts of the globe, and take regular courses. This year the graduate students organized to form a Gradu- ate Student Organization. Already this organization has spon- sored speakers on pertinent issues, and is planning to estab- lish an annual lecture series to be held at the College. 93 A-2 AND ROBIN HOOD AEE Lloyd Adams Robert Bye Gerald Cinq-Mars Alan Eakes Ronald Eby John Fitzpatrick Carolyn Fowler Franklin Gohde Mark Goldman Donald Green Joseph Hibbard Patricia Holmes Philip Horning Jane Hoyler Grayson Jones Richard Merrifield William Metzar Daniel Philblad Bruce Reid Robin Salisbury Charles Sperry Craig Spoonley Ronald Topel Guenther Vogt 94 ROBIN HOOD Sidney Balch Norman Booth John Boreman Paul Buff Lenford Carey Susan Damon Raymond Dan Stuart Davidson Ralph Dettman William Diedrichs Dennis Fellows Mark Frederick Marlene Halinar Henrietta Hamel John Hastings David Majewicz George Murphy Janine Newmiller Dennis Parent Warren Rauhe Richard Robbins Daniel Sundquist Paul Warren Duane Webb Daniel Wightman James Winch Robin Worcester During orientation bewildered freshmen are given a tour of the campus by members of the Forestry Senior Honorary, Alpha Xi Sigma. Later in the year students may be seen bearing a tall pole with ordaining ribbon through the halls of the College buildings. These are the pledges to Robin Hood, the Junior chapter of this honorary society. Working together, these students maintain the high standards of scholarship, leadership and service of the College of Forestry. They publish The Knothole, presenting information on campus organizations, opinions of student interest, and literary articles. They maintain a file of tests from college courses, and sponsor an Honors Convo- cation, a Graduate Smoker, and the Robin Hood leisure reading library. 95 Kappa Phi Delta, the social-profes- sional forestry fraternity participates in functions and organizations of both Syracuse University and the College of Forestry. Brothers of this Fraternity are members of the various clubs and honoraries of the College of For- estry and often hold positions of leadership in these organizations. They sponsor the annual college blood drive and this year gave tours of the library during the dedication of the two new buildings. The K 0 A house is located on Wal- nut Place, and is the center for many social weekends, pledge pranks, work projects and little sisters. i at A ' ffs l-.. i ' t llr if' W ' rns' fr l 'd' ' I in .

Programs are interesting and var- iedg ranging from a slide show on bobsledding by Dr. Ketch- ledge to a trip to a winery and the subsequent tasting session. An average of about 40 students per meeting hears pro- grams that have included Dr. Morrison speaking on the Botany of California, and Dr. Harlow explaining some of the intricacies of time-lapse nature photography. The highlights of every year are the Fall and Winter mountain climbing trips to one of the 46 Adirondack high peaks. 99 Empire Forester Space is a fleeting entity. The staff of the Empire Forester strives to use this entity to represent the academic and social hum of an institution of learning. It is no small job sum- marizing a year of growth and activity in eight and one- quarter square inches of print, freezing but a representative moment of time in one photograph, and putting them together on one page to represent the existence of but one phase of the College of Forestry. We had a lot of fun, putting together some 145 pages of memories, and it gives each of us some pleasantly vivid mem- ories of our owng the panic-night pizzas, dreary eyes, and the midnight cries of anguish filtering down the stairs. 100 O1 ng-J Af' FOREST ENGINEERS CLUB The Forest Engineers Club was designed to present career opportunities for engineers, to ex- amine and help improve the engineering curricu- lum, and to broaden the members' concept of engineering. In pursuing these objectives they have listened to representatives of several agencies that em- ploy forest engineers, invited members of the fac- ulty to speak concerning the Forest Engineering Curriculum, and tutored students on the use of the slide rule. This club took an Autumn trip to the Allegany National Forest to observe engineering structures and to speak with forest engineers. 103 '--..:9' FORESTRY CLUB An opportunity to stretch muscle along with mind is offered to all mem- bers of the Forestry club. Out of an organization intended to better organ- ize the annual barbecue and the tri-state meet, this fledgling club has spread its interests to include issues pertaining to the principles and prac- tices of forestry. The 1968 Barbecue was planned, organized, and run by forestry club members, and they are already looking forward to the year 1970 when they will play host to Penn State and West Virginia universities for the annual Tri-State Meet. ln between, they are attempting to schedule speakers and programs to allow student foresters a better acquaintance with their pro- fession. 104 -if . 6 .wtf ,a 9 'T ,. , pp www A ,I , 17255 ? 5,5 . x ance, 'nu- .Q 24? v 105 gf an wmv. f. :4 ' 1 M9 Hy Students in their sophomore, jun- ior, or senior years that are inter- ested in the finer points of Land- scape Architecture are welcomed to the meetings of the lVlollet Club. These meetings give this club's mem- bers other means than spending late hours in a lab to expand their knowledge and concept of the meth- ods of influencing landscape envi- ronments. With the help and advice of Pro- fessor Earle, this organization an- nually sponsors social events to pro- vide a change of pace for its mem- bers. These events generally take the form of the traditional Landscape Architecture campfire, Winter and Spring weekends, and the annual Mollet Club banquet. 0 W5 .M Moller Club ex' , -- i , k,,,LkL, - 4. 10 Traditions The traditions council is a new and enthusiastic group which has taken on the task of researching and re- cording the history and traditions of the College of Forestry, with the pur- pose of making both student and the public more mindful of how the pres- ent conditions and atmosphere of our academic world have evolved. But they are not satisfied with merely being spectators and record keepers. Theirs is the responsibility of aiding in the creation of history here at the College of Forestry. WOODCHIPS Even the forestry wives have their own organ- ization in the 'wood chips'. As a social group they sponsor programs where wives of graduate and undergraduate student foresters can meet each other. This year these programs have been high- lighted by such presentations as a film show by Dr. Schuerch, a talk by a representative of the League of Women Voters, a Christmas party at Skytop, a family picnic, and visits by Mrs. Spear and Dr. Ketchledge. These programs are tailored to meet the interests and forestry knowledge of the wives of forestry students, and allows them to better understand the College of Forestry. This lets the woman better augment the man in his profession. 111 2 WPE Club To increase its members' aware- ness of the wood products field and its current development, and to pro- vide a social environment in which faculty and students can get to- gether, the WPE Club has sponsored various programs throughout the year. The traditional Sweethearts Ball, one of the highlights of the so- cial calendar, a student-faculty buffet dinner, and a senior farewell picnic in the spring provide a full agenda for WPE Club members. 11 3 4 Students from all curricula are attracted to the meetings of the Forest Zoology Club, thereby al- lowing a wider range of activities and promoting conservation education. Invitation of the Syracuse chapter of the National Audubon Society to spe- cial meetings, featuring such famed biologists as Olin S. Pettingill Jr. on The Behavior of Gulls , and Dr. Durward Allen on The Wolves of Isle Royale , has allowed such programs to be presented. This club has grown in size and interest, due to it's wide variety of zoology-related fields and ZOOLOGY CLUB open membership. It has continued several exist- ing programs and initiated many new ones, in- cluding various collection trips and wildlife sur- veys. . f :ew 'f ,, . liiii- T 115 W, h 1 s N.- if 3 'Na 'SF Vi A -qxix 1.49 X X x 1.

Some slept, some thought, while others joked through- out the eight hour journey to State College, but all anticipated the events that would take place on the next day. Their day would begin early and end late. They would saw, chop, split, throw pulpwood, and pad- dle their way through an agenda of fifteen gruel- ing contests. They would win some, lose more, but have fun doing either. They would meet new people, see different territory, and eat hearty. They would somehow find the energy to dance until the day was gone, and then bid goodbye to their opponents until another year. They would re- turn the eight hours to Syracuse with some prizes, several pairs of dreary eyes, one white chicken, and a lot of fine memories of a good time. 119 I . 1- F. ,qs ' T 1-far.-'1 'TMA-fl' -'f A- ,fn ' r .

Tf ua fzlff'-Q .4 Wu' ',.,.: ' - -A ln June 1968 there was a happen- ing on Long Island. Forty-five repre- sentatives of the Sophomore class of the School of Landscape Architecture became involved by attending a plant materials seminar conducted by pro- fessors Freeman and Johst. After two weeks at the Coe Estate on Oyster bay, and a third and final week at the SUNY at Farmingdale, the students learned the design characteristics and identification of 250 trees, shrubs, and vines. The class enjoyed the studies on Long Island as they were able to view many types of landscape plantings and designs both academically and in use-such as Jones beach. O L.A. FARMINGDALE 2 WPE Trip Classes last an extra two weeks after the end of the Spring semester for the juniors in the Wood Products Engineering curriculum, but they generally don't mind. This yearithey drove South through the states of Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia, visiting wood-using industries and sight- seeing along the way. This trip offered the opportunity to observe industrial applications and modifications of principles learned in the classroom during the previous year, and intro- duced new concepts that would be further explained in the following year. With weekends and evenings free, there was plenty of time for the students to broaden themselves at the nearby points of interest. 123 24 DY A-1' Summer Camp Swim in the Hudson-survey the forest-canoe on Pack Forest Lake-mark Red Pine-cut White Pine-dig soil pits--B-I-O-Y-A.

Five days of mensuration, five of biology, 10 of silvics and silviculture, and 15 of Forest Management, all to supply the stu- dent forester with an appreciation of the skills and techniques associated with the practice of forestry. 125 L.A. New England Every Fall the junior class in Landscape Architecture vies with the ele- ments in attempting to take a week-long trip through New York and New England. This year the week of October 20 to October 26 was a good choice as the trip got rained on for only one day. The juniors travel the Northeast yearly in search of recent examples of design trends and ac- complishments. While covering the areas of recreation and rural-urban design extensively, the students also experienced the problems of pre- serving historically significant buildings and landscapes. The students did find that this trip was a little unusual compared to trips like it in the past, in that this class learned a great deal concerning build- ings and places, and indeed learned its greatest lesson in actions and reactions of just plain people. lt's a wonderful trip! 127 lE Washington list- Every year the seniors in the School of Land- scape Architecture are provided with a wide range of opportunities to experience and analyze various environments by taking a trip to Washing- ton D.C. This year the class visited and evaluated signi- ficant architectural and landscaping projects in and around Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, besides the capitol city. Besides analyzing environments for aesthetics and purpose, the seniors were given an opportunity to discuss architectural solu- tions on urban problems and potential job open- ings for Landscape Architects with various gov- ernmental and private firms. 129 Barbecue -1 October 9 was a long day for some, a short day for others, and for the seniors, a good day. This was their day of victory, one of a good try for the juniors, and one of surprises from the sopho- mores and freshmen. To the spectators, some 800 who turned out for the noon barbecue and field of events, it also was a good day away from classes. When the day was over and the scores tabu- lated, the seniors had won, but to the freshmen who won the tug-o-war, to the sophomores who took the log roll, and to the junior who won the speed chop, they too had gained. Even the girls got into the action, with the junior girls winning their tug-o-war. Fourteen tests of skill, stamina, and just plain luck, a good feed, and a day free from classes with friends and classmates, were enough to make October 9 a good day for all who attended the annual forestry barbecue. 131 1-rp 1 9 .V h .'yrsh' .J f ..:Q',, .An Pg 95 , X3 4 x ,- N v.

Even with a stiff schedule of classes and laboratories, these students find the time to hone their physical and mental steel to a fine edge under competition. Whether it is a faculty member or ad- ministrator jogging around the gym- nasium during lunch time or the cross-country runner reaching out for the final mile, final yard, final step, they should be given credit. There is even a Forestry Basket- ball League that maintains a busy in- tramural schedule of games for for- estry students. Competition is hard, and the games are good . . . There is already some friendly rivalry among the different teams. Take one Walnut room full of foresters and their Sweethearts, add four hours of music by Jack Kraescher and his orchestra, one lovely queen with her court, and an easy, quiet mood. Mix thoroughly at the Drumlins Country Club for the 1969 Sweethearts Ball. Serving: a wonderful ending to a fine Valentines Day. It was a fine recipe that the Wood Products Engineers Club cooked up for February 14. Be- fore it was entirely disposed of, those present had had a fine time dancing to everything from the foxtrot to the alleycat, and Mrs. Spear had crowned Miss Khrista Stewart, a Sophomore major in liberal arts, the 1969 forestry sweetheart. To those that sampled this recipe, it was the best Valentine of all. 138 SWEETHEARTS BALL 39 CONVOCATION To become aware is often the purpose of a col- lege education. This is the purpose of the weekly convocation for new studentsg to increase their awareness-of the challenges and opportunities offered them in their future, of the different methods of surviving registration and the ensuing semester, and the immense variation and range of culture in their environment. Programs vary from an explanation of the function of student services, to a lecture by a renowned international figure-Dr. Carlos Romulo, President of the Uni- versity of the Phillipines. ,ww s ' ,,,,.. .wb -M. 141 Students, faculty, administrators, and wives had a night out together at the annual spring banquet held in the ballroom of the Hotel Syracuse. Following an enjoyable dinner, Dean Jahn had a few words for those in attendance and then the Alumni Memorial Awards, Alpha Xi Sigma-Robin Hood Award, and the Barbecue Cup were awarded. Dean Crossman was presented with a book on Ancient Greece as a retirement gift from the student body, and expressed his appreciation to the students. Mr. Philip Geary, a representative of Trans- World Airlines and a world traveler capped the evening by challenging his audience to help break down the barriers of comminication and bring men closer to each other. 142 4'ivxv BANQUET f .
