This is certainly evident at emergency measures. The space available to us in Green every hand and has an important effect on our training Hall is simply inadequate to house the School of Forestry and research programs. An increasing number of our at present and this inadequacy will become more serious graduates are entering industry employment.

During the past year, two companies, one industry organization, and two alumni Undergraduate enrollment during the past year showed now in the forest products industry have provided us with one of the largest increases of any group in the University. funds for scholarships and fellowships.

Also, we are happy to have on our staff on a 300-350 students with some added staff increases. part-time basis a number of industry representatives. Our graduate student enrollment is gradually increasing In view of the growing importance of the forest products and we are obtaining a higher percentage of students from industries to forestry education and other activities of other institutions.

MIDWEST FORESTRY CONFERENCE by MIKE ZELLE

The University of Minnesota Forestry Club wos this year's host to the second onnuol Midwest Forestry Club Conference. The preporotions for this event were whole· heartedly carried out by members of the club, so by the weekend of Moy 7th ond 8th o ll wos in readiness. By ten o'clock on Friday evening of the 6th the jun ior foresters hod arrived in force from Michigan Stole, Michi­ gan, Purdue, lowo Stole, ond Minnesota ot the Cloquet Experiment Station. Pup tents were going up everywhere, as they prepared to rough it for a .couple of nights. Saturday morning downed crisply, ond found the early risers shaking their sounder sleeping companions into the lond of the living, while the Bull Cook, Barry (big bear) Peterson was in the cook house seeing that his peons, John Rodewald, Bob Swortzler, Eldred Johnson, and Wes Loth­ rop were making progress in getting breakfast ready. At seven o'clock the big bell outside the cook house sounded and everyone rushed to get in on some bacon ond eggs, except for a couple of cosuolties of the Bottle of Loci Town, who just didn't make it out of bed. After everyone was filled to bursting the day's activities started. With o slight drizzle falling, Roy Jensen of tire experiment station took us on what he called "a typical forestry field tour", which according to him meant climb­ ing into a car and driving to points of interest with as little walking as possible. We looked at of red and jock pine, where studies were being made to de­ termine best slo!=king, the effects of seed source on tree form, ond experiments in cutting practices. We also looked ol experimental areas where studies in block spruce regen- eration were being carried on. The morning tour was most interesting, and even the intermittent d:rizzle didn't dampen anyone's enthusiasm, well, not much anyway.

The contests commenced ofter dinner hod settled and the contestants hod o chance to sharpen their tools. Buck· ing, chopping, log rolling, compass running, d.b.h. ond height estimating, and match splitting were on the ogendo. The Purdue club made up in quality what they lacked in numbers and won- the team trophy. For the Minnesota club, Lyle McCutchen took a first in estimating d.b.h.'s, "Huck" Stevens placed in log rolling, as did "Rhem" Khort in chopping. After all the strenuous activities of the day a little re­ laxation and "liberal education" would be enjoyable, so the group adjourned to the Lakeside Resort, on Big Sandy Lake. Our guest speaker, Dono Whorl, who is chief forester for the Holverson Company, spoke on the history of the Cloquet region, with a few jokes thrown in, or maybe it wos just the other way around, quite o few jokes with a little history thrown in. Well, anyway, ofter Dona's in· teresting observations, some refreshments were in order, so the top room was opened and everyone was oble to en­ joy their favorite molt beverage. The Michigan siring bond furnished entertainment, and they were supplemented by the lusty pipes of ninety Ca· rusos. When the party broke up at midnight everyone was looking forward to the next conference, which is to be held at lowo City. It was unanimously agreed thot "a good time was hod by all". 32

Ah, life at Itasca; running diagonals through the swamps, chasing flutter-bys in the fields, cruising red pine at Douglas Lodge, and mid-night quiol studies at Quollies. All this and more is available to the foresters at Itasca Pork. This post year the foresters, guided by their officers, President Phil Jaquith, treasurer Bob Davidson, and stew­ ard Moose "Don't mess with my cook" Chose took the · comp over from the Boy Scouts.

Dr. Hanson ran the ecological studies and Dr. Krog­ stead introduced the Hexapoda. The past year we were very fortunate in having a field course in soils added to the courses. This gave the boys unfamiliar with a No. 10 shovel a chance to see its possibilities in digging pits. Dr. Arneman led the grove diggers in their projects aided by Steve Pollack. K.

by CL YOE SCHNACK

The Forestry Club continued the policy os they hove in the past, of sponsoring on annual bon-fire. This yeor there were two bon-fires instead. of the usual one. The first bon-fire was held in the latter part of the spring quarter of 1955 in a woods beyond the town of New Brighton. There was ample fuel available and a fire was soon roaring skyward giving a red glow to the surrounding group. After the fire began to die down and the red coals were exposed, there was a mad rush for the wieners. Soon everyone had a charred hot dog and they began to feed their faces. One by one the stories and tales began to unfold. The stories were variable; some of them roted a belly laugh while others gained only a smile and a snicker. After the stories were played out the group began to sing (or o reasonable facsimile). After a very good time, the foresters began to fi le out of the brush.

The second bon-fire was held in the fall quarter in the field below Green Hall. Without a doubt, it was the largest group to ever attend the annual bon-fire. The entire staff and about one hundred students were present. The For­ estry Club and Lignum Club were co-sponsors of the event. After the hot dogs, coffee, ond bepns were eoten, which didn't take long, the staff was introduced and each gave o resume of his courses. The president of each organiza­ tion introduced its officers and gave a rundown of its ac­ tivities. Dan Meyer, who happened to have his guitar with him, led the group in singing and ployed some old folk songs which were enjoyed by all. As the embers of the fire began to die, the group broke up. The main objective of the bon-ftre was lo interest the new students in the clubs and activities o f the Forestry School. The bon-fire was con­ siderec;l a success ond everyone seemed to hove enjoyed a well-spent evening.

37 HOMECOMING

by HAROLD STEVENS THE FLOAT The Homecoming Float Committee for this year con­ sisted of Bob Rice, as cho i r~on , Dove Schroeder and Harold Stevens. Tim Knopp was on hand to do our sign pointing. A lot of other people helped get the float done by the deadline. The Homecon'fing Slogan for this year was "Smothern Col." Our general idea was to hove Poul Bunyan putting out o fire. The fire was o pile of brush, on top of which was mounted o figure of o football player with o body shaped like o mop of California. The mop of California idea was much too complicated to be understood by the run-of-the-m ill main campus student. · Moving the float from the St. Poul Campus to the River Rood become o problem. The high winds tried to tear the signs off. We took Poul's hot off with the fi rst bridge we come to, and decided to toke his head off before. going under the next. We reassembled Poul and started the po­ rqde. To ll Pou l again proved o problem when going under the foot bridges across Washington Avenue. He cleared, but not by more thor.i o few inches. We wound our smoky way through the main campus and into downtown M inneapolis, where the parade broke up going the wrong way on o one way street. We towed the remnants bock to the bonfire site and received 75 points, for it. Rumor hos it that we won third place, but since only two places were awarded, I guess everybody entered could claim third place.

39 FORESTERS' DAY 1956

by RICHARD WARING UNCLE OF PAUL, SON OF PAUL,

FRANK KAUFERT, LYLE McCUTCHEN Foresters' Doy this year topped all records for portici­ QUEEN potion, organization and publicity, good and otherwise. JEANINE BOYD, Wild Bill Peters and Dick Manly outdid themselves in quantity and quality of publicity produced. Th is year's button was original, daring and sold at least on on equal with Marilyn Monroe calendars, to which o reference hos more than once been mode. The annual invasion to the Main Campus by the "Tim· ber Beasts" involved somewhat more than the usual cruise of co-eds. Poul Bunyan somehow found his way to the top of the Main Engineering building. Not realizing the dan­ ger involved in kidnapping the Foresters' hero, on obscure engineer started Poul on o speedy descent to the ground nearly 50 feet below. Being unusually good natured about the whole thing, the foresters picked up their idol and headed bock toward Green Holl, leaving Main Engineer­ ing somewhat shook but still in one piece. Friday night o rejuvenation party was held in Poul's honor. Thanks to the hard work of many foresters and o number of Home Economics Co-eds the old logger was ready to clear cut o forty os the down broke on For­ ester's Doy. Our Bull Cook, Dr. Koufert and the rest of the faculty did their usual excellent job in keeping the hungry crowd contented ot the Bean Feed. Never knew beans and horn could taste so good! Moving from .the Union up to Green Holl the crowd listened to ci brief welcome from Dr. Kou­ fert and Howard Olson, Alumni President. Following the welcome, Xi Sigma Pi presented Tim Knopp with on award for the Junior with the highest scholastic overage. Next come two skits of outstanding or at least unusual merit. The graduate students, led by Don Meyer were able to get a few laughs by producing a quiz program called, " The 64,000 Cord Question". So that the patrons would not go owoy with o bod taste in their mouths, o finished produc­ tion narrated by John Lundgren called "The Ice Worm Cocktail" was inacted by talented students. 40 The crowning of our queen was the high point of the program. Jeanine Boyd was voted queen, but judging by the looks of her court, it must hove been a difficult deci· sion. This year Lyle "Moc" McCutchen was chosen Son of Poul and Dr. Koufert as the Uncle of Poul. The weather conditions were at their best for the out­ door activities. It was only o few degrees below freezing. Besides the old standards: log rolling, bucking, pole climb­ ing, and tobacco spitting, o snow shoe race and egg th rowing contest were held. For the first time this year, the beard judging was de­ layed until the intermission ot the dance. And what o dance! The committee went. all out in obtaining on atmos­ phere conducive for a successful "Stumpjumpers' Boll". Bill Peters, thanks to his will power to stay owoy from o razor ond women, gained the d istinction of having the longest beard. Pr izes for the afternoon's work were a lso passed out. As Buddy Doy's Orchestra played the lost dance of the evening, we all looked bock on this Forester's Day as a high point in the year's activities like everything else that becomes a success, Forester's Doy required a lot of plan­ ning and hard work on the port of many foresters and friends.

The only things that we did NOT enjoy were a li11le car trouble, bears getting into our grub, losing equipment Bud Hanson (graduate of Montono University) was our on hikes, and porcupines and pico rabbits chewing up crew chief and for the rest of the summer we worked in our boots, clothing and fish ing equipment. But even these crews of two. Our job consisted of taking two l /5 acre things contributed to a most enjoyable summer.

SUMMER JOB by PHILL JAQUITH

We started the job in the beautiful hills of southwestern Wisconsin at a town named Gays Mills. After the first days work was ended Bob and I went to one of the two restau­ rants in the town where I was surprised by on old friend from home (too bad she had gotten married). This job of treating poles is a good one if you are adopted to the heat and don't mind a few burns from the Penta. We used a couple jars of Noxema before we got used to it. During the working day we wore nice neo­ prene bib overalls, boots of the some stuff and plastic gloves. Of course, we hod a safety belt and a pair of hooks to complete the rigging. The object in the treatment is to get up near the top of the pole and then sproy it on the way down. Real nice on a cool day with a slight breeze to keep the drippings out of your face. Bob Davidson and I tried a new angle in the Forestry We usually ended the day by going to the P.O. and profession last summer. Since Itasca would toke half our picking up Bob's usuol letter, eating supper and my hit­ time, we decided to try our hands at climbing poles for ting the sack.

Here we were issued o cor ond instructions and sent on our woy. This was our first experience in the land of toll mountains, toll trees, dusty narrow roods, much rain­ fall and few women under 150 lbs. Our job was primarily working on the cause of Pole Bl ight, o disease of White Pine. Our boss, Dr. Donald Leaphart, a graduate from Yale University and one of the most patient and likeable men I've met, worked with us only port of the summer. We were on our own much of the time col lecting field doto that was to be worked up in the winter months in the Spokane office.
