Cold, wet, clammy, dorms (and food) awaited 82 hopeful foresters on Sunday, May 14, as Forestry 330 got under way once again.

"Introduction to the Area" was the topic for Monday, the first full day of camp. We were not only introduced to new tree species and plant associations but we were also introduced to Bandon Tavern. Irving and Russell Devillez welcomed about 60 thirsty newcomers with open arms that first Monday. The 'carrying capacity' of the tavern was exceeded that night.

On Friday of the first week we acquainted ourselves with Sections 3 and 4, T. 4 S., R. 2 W., of the 2nd PM, Perry County, Indiana. Then we conducted a timber cruise covering 247 acres. This served as a warm-up for the 1070 acre cruise which took place the following week with John Moser.

Our exercises in Ecology (week 3) taught us how to count vegetation and catch poison ivy at the same time. When we became bored with this, we were able to play around in soil pits and get our knives and fingers dirty. Phil Pope showed us some of the nicest looking fragipans in the Midwest while Dr. Byrnes tantalized us with RKLSC(P).

The week concluded with a party at Tipsaw Lake. This proved to be an educational experience too as Frank Ballintyn taught us how to drink beer.

Week number 4, devoted to silviculture, provided us with another opportunity to visit Sections 3 and 4, T. 4 S., R. 2 W., of the 2nd PM, Perry County, Indiana. We collected data for the Silvicultural Prescription Exercise under the watchful eyes of Dr. Merritt and Dominic (Hop a'Long) Dottavio.

Recreation and Wildlife week was a very challenging one. The week began with Doug Knudson showing us how to conduct an inventory of a recreation area (Saddle Lake). This involved counting pit toilets, picnic tables, garbage cans, gravel in the parking lot, ants on picnic tables, etc. This exercise really aroused people 1 s interest in recreation management, especially those people in the Forest Products option. Entertainment one evening was provided by Fred Montague and his singing birds. (We sat in the gym and listened to bird calls for 2 hours.)

Other exercises that week included construction of an interpretive trail through the 2 year old clearcut behind camp, and conducting a squirrel count (at 6:00 am), a grouse survey, and a deer drive (Where were all the deer and what happened to Don and Minnette?).

The highlight of the week came on Friday afternoon. After an exhausting day of monitoring visitor impact on campsites, we all went for a swim, with Doug Knudson leading the way.

The final week of camp with Joe O'Leary and Mickey Weeks was devoted to writing a management plan. Our experiences from the previous 5 weeks provided us with an informa­tion base for a comprehensive plan.

This week proved to be interesting. We were allowed to pick our own groups and plan our own strategy as long as we compiled the necessary information for the management plan and had it finished by high noon on Friday. In demonstrating his responsibility and professionalism, Joe Lehnen got so involved with PI (poison ivy) that he had to rest in bed for a couple of days until he recovered. Not to be outdone, nimble Mary Read stepped in a hole and broke her ankle while cruising Sections 3 and 4, T. 4 S., R. 2 W., of the 2nd PM, Perry County, Indiana.

These two Sections were also bad news for our camp photographer, Dan Krouse. He twisted his knee and went home on crutches when camp ended.

Finally, that same week, Bob Pea, in demonstrating his prowess on the basketball court, broke his ankle. Bob's pre-game warm-up got the best of him.

Camp was not nearly as hard as everyone built it up to be though. There 1 s plenty of work to do but there is always time for volleyball, softball, fishing, and chipmunk hunting. That's right, chipmunk hunting. Wild Tim Ryker, with his trusty slingshot, appointed himself as chipmunk patrol officer and worked hard to control the chipmunk po pu 1 at i on .

As our camp manager, Don Michel, inspected the dorms on that last Friday, we waited anxiously for the last exam and the end of Summer Camp 1978.

PRPA

The Purdue Recreation and Parks Associa­tion (PRPA) is a learn1ng-or1ented club. Speakers, as well as practical experience are part of the club's learning opportunities.

Various speakers throughout the year included Dave Dolata, Durward Allen and others. Members also attended the Indiana Parks and Recreation Association Annual Conference held in South Bend and got many chances to meet, speak with and learn from some of Indiana's recreation professionals.

First hand experience is an important part of PRPA. Westwood Guides is one of the programs designed to give members experience in leading tours. Members give tours of Stewart's Woods to grade school children and interpret the surroundings.

Tippecanoe Guides gives experience in historical interpretation and planning programs. The participants explain the history of Tippecanoe Battleground to visitors. During the winter months, they write trail pamphlets.

PRPA members also have lots of opportunity to get their hands dirty. Work days at Fall Creek Nature Preserve and Wildcat Creek let them work out frustrations by digging post holes, clearing brush, picking up litter, and other basic maintenance duties.

To fund these activities, as well as picnics and an occasional party, the club sells eucalyptus seedlings. The "down-under" plants sell very well "up above".

XI SIGMA PI

The Kappa Chapter of Xi Sigma Pi, the national Forestry honorary, is located at Purdue. Members must be at least in their sixth semester and be within the upper 25% of their class academically.

The honorary serves to develop profes­sional attitudes and at the same time honor some of the outstanding students in the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources.

Purdue's chapter initiated a "Meet the Professor" program by arranging for informal meetings, such as at lunch, between students and professors. This allowed all involved to get to know each other on a more personal level. Kappa chapter also sponsored a field day at Martell Forest to acquaint people with Martell and the various research projects being conducted there.

Recreational development is a job not of building roads into lovely country but of building receptivity into the still lovely mind.

Dear Al urns:

There came in the mail letters from Alumni who wished that they might return for a day to the life of the forestry camp or the campus from which they have been so long separated. And the wish? A fancy, you say. No! The wish itself is their answer, for it is in earnest that the past life flows through their hearts. They that have had the comradeship of camps and campuses in their times, the laughter and the clamor, the trials and vexations, have these things always.
