1966 - Department of Forest Resources

FORWARD ...
•
The 1966 Gopher Peavey is dedicated to "THE FORESTER" - Minne­
sota School of Forestry graduates serving as professional foresters through­
out the United States and the World. These men are the profession of
forestry and the hope for the future. Serving as land managers, research­
ers, teachers, engineers, and merchandisers, they collectively determine
the status and reputation that we as students hope to build upon in the
years to come. In dedicating this book to you - the foresters of today­
we dedicate ourselves to carry on the rich heritage and traditions that you
are moulding for tomorrow - our future.

outlet for Lake States forest products. The value
of these experiences to the School and to Minne­
sota forestry has been clearly indicated in the sev­
eral presentations they have made since returning.
Dr. Hossfeld's year of sabbatical will provide him
with experience and knowledge which should be
very valuable in the further development of our
forest products education and research programs.
Dr. Merle Meyer has continued his work with
FAO and plans a brief trip to Argentina during the
spring or summer of 1966. Although every com­
mitment of this type involves complications for the
School, they are indications of the quality of our
staff, and the returns in terms of experience and
added recognition probably more than counter­
balance the special problems posed to the Direc­
tor and other School staff members. Consequent­
ly we congratula te each of the individuals con­
cerned on this personal recognition and thank
them for the recognition they brought the School
of Forestry.
We were most fortunate to be able to employ
some top quality instructors to help carryon the
work of the School of Forestry during this some­
what tumultuous period. Carl Mohn (Minnesota,
B.S. 1960, ·M.S. 1964) Vias appointed to assist in
the forest genetics and dendrology areas. Paul
Smith (Colorado, B.S. 1947, M.F . 1948), who came
to us after 15 years in industrial forestry, was ap­
pointed to assist dl\l'ing the spring session for
seniors at Cloquet and conduct research in silvi­
culture. Carl Reidel (Minnesota, B.S. 1957; M.P.A.
Harvard 1964) returned after 8 years with the U.S.
Forest Service and has taken the responsibility for
our largest enrollment course, Conservation of Na­
tural Resources, which this winter has a registra­
tion of 130 students. Sid Frissell was appointed to
handle OUl' forest recreation teaching dUl'ing the
spring quarter. Garry Frits is an instructor in the
forest measUl'ements and aerial photogrammetry
field. To handle our forest statistics program we
were fortunate to employ MI'. Dennis Schweitzer
(Penn State, B.S. 1961, Minnesota, M.S. 1963) of
the North Central Forest Experiment Station,
who is doing Ph.D. study with us.
'Ve were equally fortunate that lVII'S . Elsie
Hagelee, as Principal Secretary, and Mrs. Kay
McCoy and Mrs. Elaine Earl as Secretaries, joined
us. 'Without them we could not have survived.
Dr. Jay Hughes, who completed his undergrad­
uate work at the University of Colorado, his lVI.F.
at Colorado State and his Ph.D. at Michigan
State, will join us within the next month as an As­
sociate Professor in forest economics. Jay has been
in forest economics research at the Pacific N orth­
west Forest and Range Experiment Station for
several years. Dr. 1. C. 'Merriam, who has his un­
School of Forestry Report
by F. H. Kaufert
Director
Had this report been written last July, its tone
probably would have been pessimistic. So many
things were happening or had happened that the
prospects for the coming year looked somewhat
dark.
Professor R. M. Brown (Brownie) had just re­
tired and we had not then and have not yet found
a replacement. Dr. Don Duncan, our most pro­
ductive and nationally recognized Assistant Direc­
tor, had resigned to become Director of the Uni­
versity of Missouri School of Forestry. Dr. Ralph
Hossfeld had been granted a year's leave to write
and study in U.S. and foreign wood chemistry lab­
oratories. Dr. Hugo John had been granted leave
to work with FAO for a year on a forest inventory
problem in Nicaragua. Dr. Merle Meyer was plan­
ning a second trip to Argentina. Drs. Dick Skok
and Henry Hansen were on study trips of several
months duration to northern Europe. Our Princi­
pal Secretary Iva Manley, who had so efficiently
run the School for eight years, decided to leave
us. In addition, we had prospects of obtaining con­
siderable State and Federal funds for research, if
we could develop the necessary strong research
project proposals.
It is a real pleasure, therefore, to report that
the School has not only weathered this situation
but has made real progress during the year. We
seriously miss Dr. Duncan but congratulate him
on his new position and the challenges he has in
further developing the Missouri School of Fores­
try. Dr. Hugo John is having a most interesting
and valuable year in Nicaragua and will return
to us with forest survey and inventory experience
in the tropics. This experience will become more
valuable as we broaden our interests and program
in the international forestry field. Drs. Skok and
Hansen had very beneficial study tours in north­
ern Europe, Dr. Hansen studying the management
of forested recreational areas and Dr. Skok the
European forest products market as a possible
2
dergraduate degree from California and M.F. and
Ph.D. from Oregon State, will lead and further
develop the fine outdoor recreation program that
Don Duncan initiated. He will join the School in
July. We feel fortunate to have Jay and Larry join
our staff and look forward to this association.
Their presence on our staff will enable us to par­
ticipate more fully in the rapidly growing resource
development and outdoor recreation teaching and
research program::..
J. H. "Pop" Allison is actively engaged in work­
ing up growth data for the Chapman Plantations
at Grand Rapids and the John H. Allison Forest,
formerly the Lake Vadnais Plantations. All of us
were saddened by the passing of Ethel Allison, who
had been so much a part of the School along with
J. H. Dr. T. Schantz-Hansen "Schantz" received
two outstanding honors during the past year­
the University of Minnesota Outstanding Achieve­
ment Award last spring and election to the grade
of Fellow in the Society of American Foresters last
fall . This is weIl deserved recognition for a life­
time of service to the profession and the Univer­
sity. As a member of the Board of the Directors
of The Northwest Paper Foundation, Schantz han­
dles the arrangements on our highly valued North­
west Paper Foundation Fellowship program.
Schantz and Marian reside in Cloquet. Brownie
hasn't used the desk or office space we have for
him, but he has travelled a great deal and is about
to take off for Hawaii on another trip. Parker
Anderson's desk with Extension Foresters Marvin
Smith and Bill Miles, both of whom are officed
with the School in Green Hall , gets about the same
treatment from the standpoint of occupancy.
Parker is busy serving on committees, travelling,
hunting and fishing. That is the way retirement
should be.
.John Neetzel ('39) joined us on July 1, 1965 as
a Research Associate in Forest Products. Steve
Limstrom ('28) and Harold Rathbun ('28) also are
on our staff on special projects.
Forest Products Bldg
Facilities
Green Hall remodelling and construction of our
new greenhouse are gradually drawing to a close.
Ed Sucoff has been deeply involved in this and we
know that he will be happy to be through with this
very time consuming assignment and able to oc­
cupy some of the new facilities with his graduate
training and research programs . The new labora­
tories and greenhouse will be utilized-primarily for
graduate education and research in forest physi­
ology, forest genetics, forest ecology and water­
shed management.
With our growth in staff and graduate students,
all of Green Hall- which we used to share with
the North Central Forest Experiment Station­
and the two units of the Forest Products Building
are filled to overflowing and we are concerned with
lack of suitable staff offices and graduate student
research space. The third unit of the Forest Prod­
ucts Building, which would round out our IO-year
building program, is proposed for inclusion in fu­
ture building requests to the Legislature.
The School recently received a gift of 32 very
interesting and colorful paintings from the estate
of Effie Bornhoft. When all the rehabilitation and
remodelling of Green Hall are completed, these
paintings will be hung and some type of dedica­
tion or open house held. We deeply appreciate
receiving these paintings. They will add another
most interesting item to those that make Green
Hall, the Forest Products Building, and the North
Central Forest Experiment Station building one of
the finest forestry centers in the coun try.
Under the direction of Superintendent Bruce
Brown the Cloquet Forest Research Center facil­
ities have been considerably improved and more
is planned for the future, including remodelling of
the office, construction of a laboratory addition,
and several student cabins suitable for winter use.

it is still rather insignificant when compared to
the need of forestry students and the far more
favorable situation prevailing in other parts of
the University.

The Lake States Forest Experiment Station,
recently renamed North Central Forest Experi­
ment Station, is now headed by David B. King
(Minn. '38).
Enrollment and Employment
Undergraduate enrollment increased about 10
percent, from 343 in 1964-65 to 379 in 1965-66.
Graduate enrollment increased from 60 in 1964-65
to 66 in 1965-66, with about one-half of the stu­
dents working towards the Ph.D. and the remain­
der for the M.S. or M .F.
Our senior class deserves special congratulations
for the scholarship record achieved. Eleven seniors
were recently elected to the scholastic honor so­
ciety Gamma Sigma Delta, the highest number to­
date. This number exceeded that of Agriculture,
which has about 2ljz times as many students as
does the School of Forestry.
The employment situation in recent years has
annually shown greater diversity and more repre­
sentatives are coming to the Campus for inter­
views with students. Recreation, forest products,
watershed management, and all of the research
fields have been particularly active employment
areas. Also, an ever increasing number of grad­
uates is continuing for graduate study. 'Ve expect
this activity in the employment situation to con­
tinue and even improve. Developments in the
conservation fields certainly indicate that we can
continue to be optimistic with respect to future
employment opportunities.
Scholarship Pmgrams
Dr. Stanley and Mertie Buckman have gener­
ously provided added support for the Henry
Schmitz Student Leadership Award program. Dale
Chapman is continuing his very stimulating Chap­
man Scholarship program for freshmen and sopho­
mores. Mr. and Mrs. F. X. Corbett have estab­
lished the Robert Goudy Memorial Scholarship
program , in memory of Robert Goudy (,38), who
was lost in World War II. Mrs. Corbett is Bob
Goudy's sister. Another new scholarship, the E.
A. Everett Memorial Scholarship, will be based on
income from property willed the School by the
former E. A. Everett of Waseca. The Edward L.
Lawson "Memorial Scholarship program was in­
itiated by his family and friends. The Henry
Schmitz Memorial Scholarship Fund, established
following the passing of Dr. Schmitz, will be built
further before a scholarship program is estab­
lished from the interest. The E. G. Cheyney Me­
morial Scholarship program is being adequately
maintained through the added income obtained
when the Gopher Peavey-Alumni News dues were
slightly increased ($.50) in 1965. Forestry School
students have been particularly successful during
the past year in winning such national awards as
the Homelite, Chicago Northwestern Railroad,
American Forest Products Industry - 4-H, and
others.
Although our scholarship situation is improved,

FORESTRY CLUB
by Dave Miller
The Forestry Clu b started off the year in a big
by hosting the annual l\Jidwestern Foresters'
Concla \·e. Bob Gustafson was the chairman of this
"gigantic" affair, and when the dust settled at the
Cloquet Hesearch Center the U of M Foresters
found themselves in second place. Also, due to the
fact that Jan Miller went "above and beyond the
call of duty," we came in first at the Ice Cream
Social! Thanks to the work of Bob, Jan and all
the other U of 1\1 participants the Forestry Club
now has a new chain saw. Thanks again, Bob.
After the excitement of the Conclave was over,
the Club settled down to the business of earning
some badly needed money. l\Jark Goebl, with the
able assistance of Dwight Lockerby and the watch­
ful e.ve of Treasurer "Corky" '''esterman, took on
the Christmas Tree Project. The results of the
project was unbelievable: net profit about $1800.
The best e\'er! Another job well done.
With all the Christmas trees sold and the money
in the bank, the Foresters went home for a much
needed quarter break.
With the coming of Winter Quarter, Foresters'
Day started to roll. Dave "Daisey" Jeronimus was
the head man for F-Day, 1966. Dave, with his able
chairmen behind him, made F-D, 1966 the best the
School of Forestry has ever seen.
Now that F-Day has passed, things are calming
down. The Club hopes to establish an annual
award for a deserving Club member. Also, there is
wa~'
the canoe trip in the Spring; the Forestry Club can
never be accused of being inactive!
r would like to close this brief resume of Forestry
Club 1965-66 by again thanking the chairmen of
the activities, the members who helped, the execu­
tive board, Chad, Corky, Paul, Mark, Jerry, Terry,
and our advisor Dave Thorud ­ there are no bet­
ter men to work with anywhere. Being your Presi­
dent has been the greatest honor of my brief career
and the Club gave me much more than I can ever
hope to return ­ thank you all!
Can I go in now, coach?

by Terry Le,icher
The Bull of the Woods, being just that, has been
[)ublished this year with the hope that everyone
has been satisfied with the sarcasm that has gone
into it. Actually, the Bull is intended to give factual
information about what is going on in the School
of Forestry during the year, Its main purpose has
been to keep the students posted on student activi­
ties. This year the Bull was fortunate enough to
have several reporters on statistical information
that is pertinent to the survival of all foresters, With
the help of reporters, special surveys were con­
ducted and results published. The published re­
sults brought an enel to any question regarding
where one should eat lunch.
Everyone has helpeel to get the Bull out this
year. My special thanks goes to Kathy, our office
secretary, who spent many lunch hours typing the
Bull for me. It has been a lot of fun trying to keep
the foresters up to date on activities. Thanks again
to all who helpeel me and good luck to next year's
editor.

25 XI SIGMA PI
Delta Chapter
MEMBERS
by Steve Thorne
Xi Sigma Pi, forestry honor fraternity, was
founded at the University of ' ;Vashington in 1908.
Twelve years later Delta Chapter was established
at the University of Minnesota . The fraternity's
objectives are to secure and maintain a high stand­
ard of scholarship in forestry education, to work
for the upbuilding of forestry, and to promote fra­
ternal relations among earnest workers engaged in
forestry activities.
In pursuance of these aims Delta Chapter spon­
sored several activities during the past year. Last
spring quarter the fraternity organized a banquet
for students attending the Cloquet forestry session.
The banquet, held at Gillette's Supper Club in
Cloquet, was highlighted by Mr . Clifford Ahlgren's
talk on prescribed burning in the Lake States. As
in the past years, we also co-sponsored the special
event program of Forester's Day. This year we
were honored by hearing Mr. Clifford Ahlgren, Di­
rector of the Quetico-Superior Wilderness Research
Center, speak on ecological changes in the Quetico­
Superior area.
Each year the fraternity presents the Freshman
of the Year Honor Role Award to the freshman
who maintained the highest academic standing in
the School of Forestry during the preceding year.
'iVe extend our congratulations to Robert Ullrich,
the recipient of the 1964-65 award.
The final activity of the year was the selection
and initiation of new members. During the winter
quarter, candidates wel'e selected on the basis of
academic competence, interest and activity in for­
estry, and promise of attaining high professional
achievement. This year we initiated thirty-five
new members. The initiations were followed by a
banquet at which Dr. Lundgren of Lake States
Forest Experiment Station was the featured
speaker.

The Forest Products Club
You can look back through almost any "Gopher
Peavey" of recent years for the annual report of
the Lignum Club and find that everything has
been the same for sometime. Well, 1966 has been
the year of decision and revision; we changed the
old Lignum Club to the new Forest Products Club
and in so doing expanded both our membership
and the scope of our activities.
Our membership now includes most of the stu­
dents in Forest Products Merchandising and Forest
Products Engineering. There has been good reason
for our favorable attendance since we have been
most fortunate in obtaining guest speakers of out­
standing caliber in the Forest Products field.
Although the club didn't get organized until
January we participated in the Northwest Lumber­
man's Convention, manufactured 600 promotional
arrow puzzles, extended our personal invitations to
six guest speakers, organized a field-trip to Ander­
son Windowalls, and also renewed the annual
Spring Steak Fry which turned out to be the best
event of the year.
Remember - we didn't get started until Janu­
ary so next year will have to be twice as good ....

ITASCA 1965 by Mark Goebl and Terry Lejcher
Everyone told the Itasca gang that this year we
were so lucky-no Brownie Reports-so we
could hit the sack early every night. Certainly we
found this to be the biggest "crock of bull" ever
to float through the corridors of Green Hall. But
there were many good memories from Itasca, and
those are the ones we still remember.
As the first day of class came to an end, we felt
we deserved our first swim and ball game. Mr.
"grace" himself, Tom Abbett, knocked his knee
out of joint catching Rollie "Tarkington" Rol­
stead's first pass of the season; Abb;;tt walked
around for six weeks like he had stepped on a
hidden land mine. Botany trips offered excitement
that first week also ­ if you liked "doing 70 mph
in a University vehicle with two lugs holding the
wheel on. Another course, ecology, proved to be
(at times) the most exciting, especially when tak­
ing the data for the microclimatic study. Why it
had to be taken at 1 AM and 4 AM we didn't
know ­ we just worked there.
We found out a few things about the forestry
faculty members the "beautiful" day we went to
Lake George, the tamarack swamp, and the maple
basswood stands. Throughout the downpour the
instructors locked themselves in the car. Without a
complaint, the rest of us rugged foresters trudged
on into the wilderness. Not a one of us minded
getting soaked to the skin ­ anything for research
you know.
"Rick's Barber Shoppe" ,
28 "the hurrier you go, the behinder you get"
Then there was that "Little Guy" Grafstrom.
Every night he would take a few guys into the
woods to practice sawing and chopping. He really
had some of us believing we could beat him on
Loggers' Day - until Loggers' Day, and then he
just smeared everyone. We got back at him the
night we burned all his plants in the fireplace. The
dance (?) on Loggers' Day was really exciting! The
men sat on one end of the dance floor, the women
on the other end. In the middle of the floor were
Goebl, Salladay, and the "girls." That was also the
night we were all sure poor Paul Stone was going
to get stepped on as he danced with Debbie.
Apparently the guys in Cabin 3Q had quite a
riot. Oh well, it was worth $68 extra to throw that
football and baseball through the wall. How that
door jam came apart, only they know.
After the Botany final a herbarium burning cere­
mony was held, complete with an impromptu
Hootenanny. The Hootenanny was marred some­
what by Cabin 30's rendition of Logger Lover,
but was highlighted by Randy Ruble's banjo play­
mg.
Everyone enjoyed Itasca, with all its work and
joys. Our home for six weeks gave many of us
fond remembrances, such as poison ivy itch, etc.
But it was fun, and fun it will be for those next
year.

CLOQUET -1965
by Dave Miller
The big word at Cloquet was SNOW -104
inches of it! Snowshoes were a prerequisite for the
session and snowball fights were inevitable. When
it came to snowball fights, one will always remem­
ber the battle cry - "Get Vince!"
The quarter moved on rapidly and the snow
slowly began to melt away. Soon it was time for
baseball. Four teams were organized, plus an ail­
star team. Throughout the entire season AI John­
son had a standing offer that his team would trade
"Daisy" Jeronimus for a broken bat and a stick
of birch bark. Any luck yet, AI? Also, there was the
battle cry of cabin 8, "\Vow, Wow, Wow, open an­
other can of pitchers!"
I'm sure everyone feels as I do, that Cloquet
went by all too fast. As we left for our summer

Fa II 1965 Midwestern Foresters' Conclave at Cloquet, Minnesota Cabin 9 has a nice view oj the parking lot.
After a hearty breakfast the competition began.
The Minnesota foresters worked hard, but some bad
breaks made the morning's showing look bad, just
as it did at Missouri. In the afternoon, however,
Minnesota exploded from victory to victory. We
had a proud bunch of winners, and rightly so. The
competition gets tougher every year and winning
really takes on a special meaning. While we couldn't
overtake Michigan Tech, we did score 31 points for
second place, only five points behind. I was proud
of all our Minnesota foresters - win or lose. It is
easy to see why competition was so stiff consider­
ing the team prizes: a Homelite Chain Saw - from
the Homelite Co., a McCulloch Chain Saw - from
Power Tools Inc. & McCulloch, and a Stihle Chain
Saw - from the Al bou rne Equipment Co. We
thank these companies and all the others for their
interest in the Conclave and their most generous
donations.
The lull bejore the storm
by Robert J. Gustafson
This was Minnesota's year to host the Midwest­
ern Foresters' Conclave. It wasn't the old story:
"One sunny morning a bunch of fuzzy foresters
decided to head for Michigan" or Purdue, or any­
where else. It was, "Six months before October 16
the hard work started." There were hundreds of
hours spent planning and developing the Conclave.
Many people put a lot of sweat into this Conclave
- the goal was, "Nothing but the best." Booklets
were prepared, prizes were obtained, speakers con­
tacted, and much more, to make this Conclave a
success. My thanks to all who helped.
At 8: 00 a.m. Friday morning I was shaken from
a sound sleep by the first eager Conclave team­
the foresters of Southern Illinois. From then until
Sunday noon the Conclave was in full swing. All
day Friday more teams arrived until all but Iowa
State were present and warmmg up for the next
day of competition.
Whats so junny???

The climax to the day came with the evening
program when we heard an excellent speech by the
well-known naturalist, Sigurd F. Olson. Then the
prizes were awarded, with the team prizes going
to Michigan Tech , Minnesota, and Purdue in that
order.
From there we went to the ice cream social, the
event everyone was waiting for. Fellowship runs
high at this event where old friends meet and new
friend s are made. There was more than enough
ice cream to go around, even with the theft of one
keg of ice cream.
We believe the future Conclaves will get better
and better, the competition will get tougher, and
that Minnesota will settle for nothing less than
first place next year at Michigan.
It was my pleasure to manage this Conclave.
The future looks bright for the Conclave. It's my
sincerest hope that Minnesota will always be a
leader of future Conclaves.

1965 SPRING CONCLAVE
by Ron Salladay
Seventeen Foresters left St. Paul on Friday ,
April 30, 1965, for Camp Clover Point, home of
the 196.5 Spring Conclave sponsored by Missouri.
The trip down was uneventful except for the
sweltering heat (the ice cream wasgreat that night).
We arose at 6: 30 a.m. the next morning, much
to the displeasure of those who arrived late Friday
night, and prepared for the first events of the day
- Dendrology and the chain throw. By lunch we
were still pointless. In the afternoon Ron Salladay
took third place in match splitting to break the
ice. Then Juris Eglite and Gary Bergstrom took
first place in 2-man bucking. Throughou t the after­
noon we continued to pile up points. In the chop­
ping event Chuck Quaday placed first and Ron
Salladay placed third. Team Captain Bob Gustaf­
son and Bjorn Dahl won the canoe race to gjve us
a total of 19 points and third place in the Conclave ,
behind Purdue and Michigan Tech. The ice cream
social that night ended one of the greatest college
even ts I ha ve ever attended. I urge everyone to
attend in the future.
I was. very proud of the team as a whole, although
disappointed in the Club's participation. The Con­
clave is an outstanding event , occurring only once
a year. It is a good opportunity for foresters to
meet foresters of other schools and learn what their
clubs are doing. It is also a lot of fine competition.
I would like to see many more people participate in
the Conclave in the future. Not just to the point
of writing your name on the sign-up sheet, but to
the point of devoting your time to the hard, but
enjoyable, work of preparing for the events. Spe­
cialization is the key to success at the Conclave.
The competition is really tough - "tough as nails."
y ou have to work if you want to win . So foresters,
let's get on the ball and take first at the 1966 Con­
clave in Michigan.

45 CHRISTMAS TREE PROJECT 1965 by Mark Goebl
Late last May, when my thoughts first turned
toward this year's Christmas Tree Project, I en­
visioned big dollar signs, preferably in black figures.
And now, after it is all over, the dollar signs are
amazingly still big, and still black.
The story of this year's Christmas Tree Project
is filled with the usual successes and disappoint­
ments, but the main theme is the excellent help
received from the Club members. For those of you
who are unfamiliar with the project, it is best ex­
plained by stating that we buy trees and we sell
trees.
About ha.1f of the trees are bought from Dr.
Hansen and prepared by the Club. In the prepara­
tion of the trees they were sprayed with "Greenzit,"
an organic dye. The first day of spraying was
fruitful as Dwight Lockerby, this year's co-chair­
man, learned how to hold up his pants with wire
after his belt was commissioned as a starter rope
for the mist blower. We broke the original starter
rope, as well as finally breaking Dwight's belt. The
second day of spraying was much better, and we
completed the spraying of trees and most of the
freshmen. After spraying, the trees were bundled,
cut, and piled. The hauling of trees was done on
two consecutive Saturdays. The second hauling
proved to be the most hectic because we were re­
ceiving trees as well as marking and selling them
at the same time. Everyone was busy.
The sales were very brisk and we were sold out
by December 17th, only 13 days after the opening
of the lot. Some of the problems encountered in
selling the trees were the varying degrees of yellow
observed on a few of the trees, explained as growth
on "different sites," although "Drier" sites might
have been more appropriate. Also, women hunting
for bargains were tough to deal with, but most of
the salesmen eventually sold the trees at cost tn
them. Except me - I fell for the grandmother
types and lost money.
In conclusion, we DID make a profit, had lots
of fun, and learned a lot. I would like to express
my sincere thanks to all of those who helped in
the project, and especially to Dwight Lockerby,
the School of Forestry, Mr. Winsness, and Mr .
Lundberg of Plant Services.

1965 FALL BONFIRE
by Ron Salladay
Wednesday, October 6, dawned very clear - a
perfect "DAY" for the bonfire. However, all hopes
for a perfect night vanished about five o'clock that
afternoon. That's right, it rained. But, much to
our surprise, the bonfire went on. Jan Miller and
Dewey Hanson started the hot dogs and Ken
Winsness kept track of the beans. The food was
served in Green Hall Auditorium at seven o'clock
and about fifty foresters braved the terrific mon­
soon to devour the large supply of hot dogs, beans.
chips, and good ole 'Mountain Dew.
Da ve Miller in troduced the Forestry Staff, and
after a few other announcements Paul Stegmier
and , Paul Lundberg led the group in some rousing
songs. Foresters always seem to have fun - re­
gardless of the place or the weather.
Would you believe a butane lighter?
It was a good turnout, considering the weather,
and I thank all those who came. I would especial­
ly like to thank Ken Winsness, Jan Miller, Duane
Hanson , Gary Herron , Corky Westerman, Mike
Carter, and Paul Lundberg for all their help.

During the three months I enjoyed two weeks
of paid vacation. The first week was spent travel­
ling in all the New England states. The second
week took us on a trip to Canada where we toured
Ca~adian forest research centers. We visited the
Parliament buildings in Ottawa and enjoyed a
party in Montreal on the return trip.
The summer would not have been complete had
we not attended the World's Fair in New York.
Mr. Childs made arrangements for us to stay at
the Yale Club across from Grand Central Station.
Like all tourists we had to go up the Empire State
Building. The most interesting thing in the entire
city of Greenwich Village. You have to se~ it to
believe it.
The summer was very enjoyable and a good ex­
perience. The East has something to offer that the
West lacks. Girls!
GREAT MOUNTAIN
FOREST, CONN.
by Dave Blackford
A SUMMER AT THISTLEDEW
Somehow I was selected by Brownie to become
a hardwood forester in Connecticut. On June 11th
I departed for Connecticut with a prayer that my
four bald tires would hold ou t. The next day I
found myself staring at Niagara Falls - an im­
pressive sight, but not what I had expected . After
getting lost in Buffalo, New York, for three hours
I finally made it to the New York Through-way
and on to Connecticut.
Upon reaching my destination I was much sur­
prised to discover where I was going to live for
the summer. We were to occupy a 2-bedroom cabin
with two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room
with an oversize fireplace. Also, a very good cook
was included. All we were missing was a "maid"?
I shared the cabin with three other forestry stu­
dents from Penn State, Iowa State and Mississippi
State.
My employer, 1\111'. Edward C. Childs, was the
owner of 7,000 acres of New England mixed hard­
woods. The cover consisted mostly of red and
sugnr maple, red oak, black cherry and a few
scattered tulip poplar.
Known as the Great Mt. Forest, the area is not
managed on a commercial basis, but rather on a
more 01' less experimental basis. During the sum­
mer we cleared land and did salvage work on red
oak killed by gypsy moth and drought.
Although we had to work once in a while we
found recrea tion close at hand. First, there was
the daughter of the Director of the Yale Forestry
School and her three girl friends from New Jersey.
For less enjoyable recreation we had a lake a short
distance from the cabin plus tennis courts, a pool
room, and indoor basketball court, aII of which

D,n-e Miller and I reported to area 11 headquar­
ters on .June 14th as requested by the Minnesota
Di vision of Forestry. After three days of traveling
on training sessions we were sent to the Thistledew
Hanger District at Togo, Minnesota, which has a
population of three and is located about 45 miles
north of Hibbing.
Since no one was really expecting us, we spent
our first week with the Division of Forestry mak­
ing an old C.C.C . cabin fit for human habitation.
After several days of scrubbing, nailing, and haul­
ing, we moved in and began our actual forest
service work.
One half of the District had been previously
surveyed by Gerry Bach and Al Knaebal, so it
was up to Dave and me to complete the District
51

NORTHERN IDAHO
and prepare the summary sheets. We attacked our
job in all seriousness and manned our Dodge
Power Wagon and J-5 bombadier. The work went
swiftly until one day when I mentioned to Dave, as
we plowed through a wall of brush, that we had
just lost one of the tracks on the Bombadier.
Needless to say, we walked back to our truck that
day and to the rest of our survey routes for the
remainder of the summer.
All of our time was not spent on forest survey,
however. Each evening after supper we would go
swimming in Thistledew Lake on which our cabin
was located, or take a ride through the surround­
ing area. One such trip led us to Crane Lake, where
Jan Millet· and Don Antonson were stationed.
However, they were on some form of canoe trip
called survey work. On other occasions we would
go berry picking, target shooting, or perhaps take
a trip to Hibbing or the "power house." The week­
ends also provided many hours of enjoyment. Bar­
becues and water skiing with the District and
Assistant Ranger were usually on the agenda.
We finished the Thistledew District during the
last week of August. We said good-by to Togo and
the many friends which we had made, and moved
to area headquarters at Deer River. The next two
weeks were spent in setting up the survey program
on the Bowstring district which lies just north of
Deer River.
By the middle of September we were ready to
head for home. Once again we said good-by and
headed south on Highway 65. I hated to leave the
beauty of the north woods, but all good things
must come to an end . As my thoughts wandered
over the events of the summer, I realized that I
had gained considerable experience and a new
understanding of the forest that could never be
offered in a coJlege course. These thoughts took me
just long enough to get behind Dave, so I stepped
on the gas in order to keep up with him and his
trusty deer-slayer VW.

About midnight on June 12, 1965, Rod Sando
and I climbed in his horse (Mustang) and headed
West. Eighteen hours later we reached Missoula,
Montana, where Rod was to undergo smoke
jumper training. From Missoula I hitch hiked to
the small logging town of Priest River, Idaho.
Monday morning I called the Falls Ranger
Station, which is eight miles north of Priest River,
for transportation to the Station. This was the
beginning of a joyous, adventurous, experience
filled summer on the Kaniksu National Forest.
During the next three months I gained a work­
ing knowledge of the following: laying out timber
sale boundaries, fire lines, and roads; traverse
plotting; wildlife administration; TSI marking­
I know of two yellow chipmunks in Northern
Idaho; cruising and stage two plots; timber sale
inspections; slash piling and snag felling; pre­
scribed burning - not always controlled; and my
share of smoke chasing and fire fighting.

105 Foot Cedar Poles
July 15th, I went to Coeur d'Alene for the un­
limited hydroplane races, where I met George
Miller (65), Gary Bergstrom (6.5), Rod Sando
(65), and their families. In years past these races
had been known for their riots. This year, however,
everyone was calm, cool, and collected. I am not
sure why the change in the spectators' attitude,
but two of the reasons may ha ve been the acti va­
tion of the Idaho National Guard, and a man
standing on every corner downtown equipped with
a gas mask, 3 foot night stick, and leashed to a
huge German Shepherd. Our favorite for the race
was "Miss Budweiser" - I don't know why! She
didn't win even though we toasted.
52 Our forest was chosen as the site for Inter­
national Girl Scout Jamboree, which 25,000 girls
from all over the world attended. Falls District
was a rest stop area for their tours. "'e provided
them with outdoor restroom, a job at which I
became somewhat of a carpenter.
A SUMMER WITH
U.S. PLYWOOD
by Dave Barber
Spring quarter was barely over and I was on
my way west. United States Plywood had been
good enough to give me a job working on their
engineering crew. The particular division I worked
for was located in Gold Beach, Oregon, situated at
the mouth of the famed Rouge River. This area is
part of the coastal old growth Douglas-fir area.
r worked with a crew of two other guys, one a
full-time employee and the other a college student
from California. Our job consisted of locating
property lines and laying ou t clear-cut boundaries
and roads. I sometimes think they had us secretly
working on brusll control the way we had to cut
those lines open with machetes!
Would you believe a 42 holer?
In August I was privileged . to take a "show
me" tour of the Priest River Forest Experiment
Station, where I met Glenn Deitschman (47).
They were conducting a variety of watershed ex­
periments that were very enlightening, and the
dammed ponds contained a number of trout. I
spent most of August working on a timber sale on
Bear Paw Ridge - that was when most of the
huckleberries were ripe.
It was also an economically profitable summer,
by getting some overtime on fires and burning, and
supplementing my diet with many meals of trout,
caught in the Lower West Branch - 100 feet from
my cabin door. Not to mention the wonderful elk
steak - U.S . Choice - dinner I had at the assist­
ant ranger's house.
When summer drew to a close, I left Northern
Idaho, and all its wonderful p~ople, with mixed
emotions: sad to leave all this and return to the
big city. But happy to return to school with this
great experience and the thought of someday re­
turning.
I was also lucky enough to gain some experience
in some other aspects of private industry. By
..;praining my ankle I got to work in the office for a
few days summarizing log tables and figuring vol­
umes. U. S. Plywood also operates a recreation area
which was damaged by the 1964-65 floods. We did
some repairs on this. I spent a few days checking
in ven tories on some Forest Service sales that the
company was interested in purchasing.
.YlY wife and 1 stayed with her brother, who is
employed by the U. S. Forest Service. This ar­
rangement allowed me to gain some insight into
the operations of the Forest Service, as well as
seeing how private and government agencies work
together.
I think one of the things I'll remember the long­
est about this area was the fabulous fishing for
trout and salmon. The Rogue River is famed for
its fishing and rightly so! I won't comment on who
caught the most fish in my family, but it wasn't
me!
53 Nestled and shaded in a vast stand of old growth
Douglas-snags is 'Villard, Washington. It is a typi­
cal, bustling American community consisting of a
sawmill, a company store, and a few odd company­
owned houses. Area s stich as this are sought after
by the Forest Service to establish outposts to send
unsuspecting summer slaves such as myself.
I was obtained as a surveying aide. Work of this
type is not difficult and can even be enjoyable.
However, the environment has much to do with
the amount of enjoyment gleaned from a task, and
it is upon this point that I wish to shed some light.
The lay of the land around Willard is somewhat
topographic, and the gentle sixty-percent slopes
abound with brush, man-eating vines, swarms of
venomous insects, and a profusion of other beasts
that turn a young forester pale with ecstasy.
Never have I witnessed such an abundance"of
hornets, yeIlowjackets, wasps, bees, and other as­
so rted painful vermin. Nests were everywhere, and
it was impossible to walk for any great distance
without stumbling into one. There was always at
least a dozen yellowjackets buzzing around my
face . At lunch they would carry off parts of my
sa ndwich and sample my coffee, while the remain­
ing swarm engaged in a battle over the shells from
my hardboiled egg. There were also a few very
large yellowjackets. One decided to investigate my
ring one day and obliterated my finger . Needless to
say, he was left floundering in my vapor trail. I
also wish to point out that they show no mercy in
the indiscriminate use of their built-in hypodermic
needles.
lVly nervous anguish was brought to unknown
heights by a creature of paltry size. These minute
fiends took great pleasure in investigating my
flame-orange hard hat while hovering a few inches
away from it. You may know them as humming­
birds. and I want you to know that, in fact, they
do HUMMM ... LOUDLY!!
After a day in wilds such as this there is only
one beverage which will revive a forester - beer.
The nearest oasis of this sustenance, run by the
kindly Mrs. Mac, was six miles down the road. I
remember well the evening I dragged my dehy­
drated body into her abode and forced my cracked
and swollen tongue to ask for a meager six-pac
of the nectar of the gods. Well, the old gal refused .
It seems that because I didn't have a state liquor
card I was not legally twenty-four. AU I could do
was weep.
Should a ny of you desire strange and new ad­
ventures let me heartily recommend the great West.
September finally rolled around again and we
headed for home with a lot of good experience and
fond memories. I enjoyed my visit to the West,
but there was a deep feeling for Minnesota as I
headed for home which made me feel that it would
always be the place for me.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Alumnus,
The past year as your MFAA President has been a rewording and interesting experience for me. The activ­
ities of the MFAA have been much like those ai the past - that is, we had our annual Fall and Spring Ban­
quets and there was goad fellowship and lots of fun! The annual Fall Banquet had as its feature speaker,
Dr. Richard A Skak of the School of Forestry, who talked to the group on " U. S. Exports of Pulp and Paper
to Western Europe." It was a stimulating presentation and we thank Dr . Skok for making himself available
for this talk . At the onnual Spring MFAA Banquet held in April the format of the program was changed same·
what. The presentation of the annual E. G. Cheyney Aword was made to three outstanding seniors - Joseph
Brady, Paul Fuchs and Paul Noreen (see next page). Following that presentation the CBS documentary film
" Bulldozed America" was presented and a lively discussion followed.
In the "Report of the MFAA President " lost year, he stated, "Your MFAA has a two sided face, one being
the social organization and the ather being one of lending support to your School of Forestry . The MFAA has
been able to lend consideraSle weight and support in the post to the legislative programs of the School, when
help was needed to get the program through. In the next decade this continuing support is going to have to
be assured the School when one considers the predicted growth of the University."
In pursuing this philosophy, the Minnesota Forestry Alumni Executive Board and the Director Frank H.
Kaufert, met with Dean Sherwood O. Berg , Dean of the Institute of Agriculture, ond his colleagues to discuss
the future of the School of Forestry . Let me quote from a letter from Dean Berg on this matter­
" We greatly appreciated the opportunity to meet with the Minnesota Forestry Alumni Association Executive
Board on Monday, April 18. The discussion wos beneficial in focusing on the role and the future of the
School of Forestry. We are conscious that additional resources are needed to build further the teaching and
reseorch programs in the School.
"Our discussion demonstrated that if the Institute, School and Executive Soard's interests, objectives ond plans
ore to be realized, we must use our collect ive creative energies to reapproise the present and future needs,
establish priorities, and develop appropriate methods to secure the additional assistance.
"The Institute has been, and continues to be, very active in supporting and occelerating the educational
programs in the School of Forestry. We enthusiastically welcome your continued counsel and support to accom­
plish our mutual purpose of strengthening the School of Forestry."
The Executive Board feels strongly that this was a very productive meeting with the Dean and his colleagues
and we look forword to having more meetings of this type with the Dean in the very near future .
It has been my pleasure to serve as your President for this past year. I want to toke this opportunity to
wish the new President and his Executive Board every success in the future.
Thank you.
