- DEDICATED TO FRANK H. KAUFERT Professor and Director of the School of Forestry

. .. for his part in having made many men into foresters. He has aided forestry student organizations in ways wiknou;n tu most students, always managing to come through for the sl1tdents when they needed help. He has shared his many experiences with lmndreds of students over the years, giving them in the process the benefit of his many years of activity in forestry. He has always maintained an open door and a listening ear for students. He is a demanding teacher, a keen critic and a dispenser of good advice, but most of all he is a man the students might con,sider a friend. - Gopher Peavey Jl.lumni CJ[ew'1

ACTIVITIES Cloquet-Fall 7968

by Tom Baruth The first week of the Fall Quarter Cloquet Session showed us how well planned the Cloquet F orest really is. Every forty line is perfectly located so it runs through the wettest, deepest pa1t of a big swamp. This feature didn't prove entirely bad, however, be­ cause it allowed us to complete an additional one credit course-Swimming 1.

. the lads were last seen tearing off in a S-SW direction through the swamp and underbrush" GOPHER PEAVEY. 1938 After learning how to type map swamps, we learned how to sample them and compute their merchantable volume to an alpha level of .05. Most crews found that their inventory reports used a quantity of pa­ per greater than the total volume of standing timber on their quarter section. What leisure time we cou ld find was more t.han filled with varied activities. Gene Brummel meditated his way to the chess championship, and K en Cutler won the pool tournament. Greg Ryan had no close competition for the sleeping championship. Hard .fought "Stratego" games raged into the wee hours of the morning. Ezra is still trying to figure out how the spy always turned up by his field marshal. Tom "The Foot" Watson terrorized the soccer field by dribbling the ball between his toes.

lar customer, however, was Al Kastner. In fact Al could sometimes be found in t.he middle of the day -~ .. .. · .. cruising timber at Curt's. ,,:t '.ti'.

26 CLOQUET-SPRING 1968 by Chris Peterson and Terry Helbig ,, . no report on Cloquet is c01nplete without some 'fhe Spring quarter crop of Foresters met Cloquet mention of that Mecca of strong brew" in the usual manner with quotes such as "who the GOPHE.R PEAVEY. 1949 --- left this town defenseless," and "the last one down to Curts' buys." As usual the fellows learned surprisingly fast to live with both of these "handi­ caps." In conjunction with the traditional extracurricular activities enjoyed such as Curts', vandalism, and soft­ ball the group broadened their interests. Cabin 10 started the ball rolling by establishing their cabin as headquarters, a huge sign being erected on the roof. This brought distrust and jealousy from the rest of the camp and soon they began to go to bed at lOPM instead of 9PM. "Doc" J ohns followed by trying to establish his syndicate in Paul Smith's classroom. Evi­ dently P aul got his "cut" because soon the sound of pool balls, Captain Kangaroo, and the rattle of empty bottles could be heard frequently being interrupted by Paul's Silviculture lectures. The SwanHelSon Brewery and Company soon got into the act and would like to take this time to thank the station for "Cni~ing'' al Curls allowing them to develop their product in the utmost secrecy. Good, wasn't it Paul? The Cloquet quartet felt the brew's first effects at Sam and introduced each cabin to their musical arrangement of Logger Lover. Outside on the athletic field Cabin 10 reigned as soccer champs. This was probably due to the great turnout we experienced for each game-Cabin 10 end­ ing up playing Cabin 10. Those few amateurs who did wander into a game didn't last long. A picture is worth a thousand words- take a close look at Bob Anfang's nose and one of Dr. John's forehead. Even traditional class work was unusual this year. John Hegg and Merrick Reburn explored the possi­ bi lities of using the University wagon in their logging operation. John says it would never double as a skid­ der however. Other classes, even though not as unique, were equally valuable. The fun times and great educational experiences felt by this group of F oresters at the Research Station would cover the entire Peavey. To sum it all up those camp champs are as follows: Most sloppiest ...... Cabin 1 The smelliest ...... Cabin 2 Most inactive ...... Cabin 3 The laziest ...... Cabin 4 Most unusual ...... Cabin 5 Most unoccupied ...... Cabin 6 and 8 The dirtiest ...... Cabin 7 Most studiest ...... Cabin 9 Most· active Cabin ...... Cabin 10 Least un ique ...... Cabin 11 - Itasca 7968 by Dave Snyder

by Tom Baruth It's been another highly successful year for the For­ estry Club due lo the great participation of all the members. The year started off well with a large num­ ber turning out for the Fall Bon'fire. The weather was even accommodating for a change and we were able to hold the bonfire outside for the second straight year! " Beechnut" was so enthralled with the whole situation that he forgot to bring any cups along with the coffee. Maybe he just thought that foresters should learn lo rough it. The first meeting was attended by well over 100 students, and this set the trend for continued high attendance at meetings throughout the year. Christ­ mas Tree Project co-chairman Chris P eterson and Pete Roussopoulos got things rolling for the big proj­ ect, and Conclave chairman T erry Helbig began sign­ Baruth: "Say 1'erry, are S'ltre this i.v relevant?" ing up all available talent for the Conclave. Helbig: "Why, (hie) no doubt abcnit it Rocky!" In October, the eleven man conclave team came back from Southern Illinois University with a respect­ able fourth place. This was achieved even without the assistance of some of the star competitors who were out of action up at Cloquet. Chris and P ete wrapped up a highly successful Christmas tree project in December with a net profit of $~,000. Many thanks to Chris and P ete and all the other Club members who put in long hours of work F orester's Day was the best ever, and chairman to make this project such an outstanding success. Terry Helbig and the dozens of other guys who I would like to thank Vice President Terry Helbig worked on the countless preparations for this big for getting everything going and handling the cl ub so event deserve a lot of credit.

The Spring 1968 Forestry Club Canoe Trip

by Gene Miller Under the careful supervision of Canoe Trip Chair­ man Greg Ryan and his assistant Gene Miller, the Spring 1968 Forestry Club Canoe Trip promised to be one of the finest trips in the history of the club. There were to be twenty-seven rented canoes and nine pri­ ~r ate canoes on the trip. Unfortunately, May 26 was a cold and rainy day, but fourteen canoes and one houseboat (Jim Bloemendal) braved the elements and made the trip. The trip began at Taylor's Falls on the St. Croix River. The bad weather made the trip seem bleak, but the foresters, true to tradition, soon became "accli­ matized" and no longer minded the weather. Foresters Duane Kick (Kicker) and Gary Heinrich stopped to examine an island, when their canoe mysteriously w~s set afloat. Gary and Kicker, being resourceful, waded after their wayward ca.noe. When the water deepened, our boys "deepened" too. Un­ fortunately, the boys neglected to remove their wal­ lets, etc., etc. About noon, the troops slogged to a halt for a lunch of soggy sandwiches. Kicker gave a demonstration of how to float a hat off one's head and Jim Bloemendal demonstrated burning charcoal floating in water. Later that day the troops arrived at the Marine Canoe Service at Marine on St. Croix. E veryone was thoroughly "soaked??" and exhausted. In spite of bad weather, the trip was great fun, and we are all look­ ing forward to the 1969 Canoe Trip.

31 Forest Products Club by Bruce Schmidt This year for Forest Products Club, really started tight after finals in June 1968. It was then that three club members, Steve Weeks, Phil Johns ton and Gene Moore along with club advisor Bob Thompson par­ ticipated in a club trip to the west coast. They visited many of the forest industries' manufacturing facilities and attended the annual Forest Industries Marketing Conference at the University of Oregon. Their trip was partially financed by money earned by the club making and selling FOR.PRO Wood Identification Kits. We started this year by selling the wood kit bus­ iness to an alumus of the School of Forestry. The money from this will be used to finance further trips and other worthwhile activi ties. Such activities focus on giving club members more contact within industry in which they will work. This year's club officers include Larry D emaree, secretary-treasurer; Phil Johnston, Vice-President <'Incl Bn1ce Schmidt, President.

32 Freshman Bonfire by Tim Resch

On Wednesday, September 25, another great year for the F orestry Club was kicked off by a record crowd of more than 160 persons attending the fall bonfire. A different site was used to the approval of some, and disapproval of others. Those that liked the site liked the sheltered grassy amphitheater. Those that didn't like t he site were those who sat on rotten apples. Acting vice-president-turned-president T erry H elbig welcomed the group to the bonfire as a massive din­ ner of hot dogs, beans and pop was being enjoyed. The coffee arrived late but no one seemed to mind because cream, sugar and cups never arrived. So that the coffee would not be wasted, we saved it to put out the fire. Frank K a ufert, D irector of the School of Forestry, introduced the faculty, gave a short welcoming speech and told an ·•au then tic" Indian story.

After the introduction, Conclave team captain T erry Helbig, assisted by several teammates, demon­ strated some of the Conclave events. Ron " Bong" Salladay demonstrated speed wood chopping, but due to a pre-bonfire meeting at Manning's was not able to complete a full stroke. Foresters-and friends! The cl imax of the evening was a series of folk songs led by J oe M erkins and Kathy J osephson. The first song sung was Logger Lover. Nobody knew the music but we sang (?) it anyway. After this bad start the group moved into the standard folk songs until Ken Winsness closed the 1968 Fall Bonfire with a senti­ mental rendition of " Good Night, Ladies." As the crowd left, some moved to Manning's to have a post-bonfire meeting for the exchanging of summer-job stories.

33 Midwest Foresters' Conclave by Terry H elbig

The University of Illinois hosted the conclave this year. Minnesota was again stopped in its quest for its first conclave championship but this was no fau lt of the men who attended. In spite of our fourth place finish in field events, I fi rmly believe Minnesota's thirteen men put on the besl overall show in the con­ clave. Six men had previous conclave experience and formed the nucleus of the team: Chris P eterson, D oug Anderson, Al B urt, Rog Richards, R on Salladay, and Terry H elbig. The remainder of the team made up for what they lacked in experience by their willing­ ness to compete and win. T hese members included Brian Marinello, Mark Boche, R on Welch, Mike Knudson, Gene D eterman, Fran Wagner, and Tim R esch. Only four members of the team won points, but with a few good breaks many other members would have placed in various events. Rog R ichards placed second in match splitting. R on Salladay placed second in chopping and teamed with Chris P eterson for 11 fourth place in two man bucking. Chris also showed

34 individual effort with his. second in tobacco spit to go along with the fi rst gained in that event by "Beech­ nut" H elbig. Illinois attempted to replace the tradition al ice cream social with technical events since the social hour was "against state and university regulations." Minnesota placed second in these events. This high placem ent was earned with n second in photo inter­ pretation by R on Salladay and a second in the college bowl by the team of Chris P eterson, M ike Knudson, T erry H elbig, and R on Sallad11y. Minnesota has no reiison to be ashamed just be­ cause they d id not win a chain saw. The competition was tough but our te<'lm placed fairly well in all the fi eld events. Our second place in technical events is to be envied and our sportsmanship was probably the best of all the teams entered . Next year Minnesota will have iinother team to be proud of and with a fe\\" good breaks it will be co ming home with fi rst place and a chain saw to go along with the traditional first place in the ice crea m social.

Christmas Tree Project Chris Peterson

Although with only two optimists, Pete Roussopou­ los, the other co-chairman and myself within the crew, the club, and probably the school itself, the project this year was enjoyably successful. Naturally a suc­ cess means money, and money we made-slightly over two grand worth of profits. Our lot, located at the corner of Larpenteur and Cleveland, opened on Dec. 1, and although our selec­ tion was somewhat limited. we were sold out in Q weeks. Four species made up our stock of trees this year and included Scotch pine, Norway pine, Spruce and Canadian Golden pine. T he Scotch pine was the biggest seller and of course the most expensive having been imported from Michigan. Both our sheared Spruce and sheared. Norway pine were obtained from Zimmerman, Minn. and looked real good this year. We also had some wild Norway. Oh yes, the fourth species included one Canadian Golden Pine (alias Jack Pine). I t seems that a Freshman Forester mis­ took it for a scotch pine while cutting Norway at Cloquet. This year the selection at the Cloquet Forest R e­ search Center amounted to nil. To substitute we bought Norway stumpage off a private "40" located north of Curt's. By the looks of the trees cut, I got the feeling Curt's was hit pretty hard before-hand. Along with the trees we were also very successful in selling wreaths and cones. The biggest sellers were the digger pine cones. We obtained boughs from numerous sources. In addition to those cut at Cloquet, a truck load was cut at the Hazleton Alcoholic Correction Center near Centerville. Also, special thanks go to Dr. D avid French who donated several truck loads from bis plantation. Thanks again to all those who part icipated and good luck on the project in the future.
