The OREGON STATE FORESTER serves as a clearing house for Fernhoppers' messages to their classmates and friends. Each year forestry alumni receive a self­ addressed, double-postcard so they can communicate with us and their fellow Fernhoppers. The increased costs of postage and printing are such that we may very likely have to eliminate the postcard and the message section in the NEWS­ LETTER in the future. If more Fernhoppers would contribute to the Alumni Association, we may not have to discontinue t he enjoyable tradition. This year we welcome 147 students with bachelor's degrees and 50 with Loren "Stub" Stewart '32 and T. J. Starker '10 were advanced degrees to the growing ranks of Fernhoppers. We hope you will continue honored as the first recipients of the E_ B_ Lemon to keep in touch with your classmates and with us through the NEWSLETTER and Distinguished Alumni Award.

28 29 FOREST RY STUDENTS ASSOCIATION

New decade - new faces - new name. In the spring of 1980 a charter was granted for an S.A.F. student chapter at the School of Forestry. With this newly added dimension to the School came a rewritten constitution for the Forestry Club. Besides combining the S.A.F. Chapter and Forestry Club under one constitution, there was also a vote to rename the organ­ ization as "The Forestry Students Association." One of the first joint efforts of the two groups was organization of the Association of Western Forestry Clubs (A.W.F.C.) 1981 Conclave. We had the privi lege of hosting this annual event in April 1981. Over ten different shcools from across the Sierra Community College o .s.u. College of The Redwoods west coast (see accompanying photos) sent representatives to participate in five days of activities, including: tours, a banquet, a leadership conference, and logging sports competition. Members of the Forestry Club handled the logistics of registration and housing and a complete rebuilding of the logging sports competition fie ld at Cronemiller Lake. The S.A.F. Student Chapter coordinated a Student Leadership Conference with guest speakers, including Bernie Agrons, Vice-President, Weyerhaeuser Co., Klamath Fal ls and John Barber, Executive Vice-President S.A.F. Although there were some rough spots in the road, we managed to come out unscathed and we anticipate another fun Conclave when we visit next year's host, Humboldt State and co-host, Coll ege of the Redwoods. We still maintain a coffee service for the students down in the student lounge (only 10¢ cup of coffee on campus) and we plan a winter ski trip to the Cascades. Fall Frost was a robust event this year with plenty of wet and wild foresters out to vent some of the energy they can't dissipate in the classroom. What with the hectic pace of the educational process, the Fall Frost competitions and dance are a welcomed respite to many Peavy Hall denizens.
