Club practices
lumberjack skills
at competition
By Tracy Hamm
Reporter
As most students slept early Satur
day morning, the Texas A&M For
estry Club members were rolling
logs, climbing poles and throwing
axes.
The Forestry Club held its 10th
annual Skidadoo as a practice ses
sion for the southeastern lumberjack
competition, Conclave.
“It is a social activity to meet other
foresters and to gain experience for
Conclave,” said Robert Henry, a ju
nior urban forestry major.
Pete Stewart, a sophomore forest
management major, agreed that Ski
dadoo is a friendly competition
where people can get to know others
away from school.
Saturday’s events made up the
physical portion of the practice and
also decided who would compete in
each of the events at Conclave. Also,
each winner in a Skidadoo event
wins a pair of “Aggie Forester” sus- v
penders, said Kay Thierheimer, a
sophomore forest management ma
jor.
The technical events began Mon
day and will continue through Sun
day, Forestry Club president Curt
Sherretts said. These events will in
clude photogrammetry, which is in
terpreting aerial photographs; den
drology, the identification of trees;
and wildlife studies, during which
students will examine specimens and
determine the wildlife types.
Two technical events, Diameter
Breast Height estimation and com
pass and pacing, were held Satur
day.
For compass and pacing, contes
tants are given a set of compass coor
dinates. They have to set their com
passes and walk the number of paces
they think will get them to the cho
sen point. The contest is judged by
determining who comes closest to
that point.
Dolph Scott, a senior forest man
agement major, won the compass
and pacing event by coming to
within 1.7 leet of the target.
Bob Argent, a lecturer and grad
uate student, explained that DBH
estimation occurs at about 4 1/2 feet
above the ground. This height was
determined because trees swell at
the bottom. To take an accurate esti
mation of the tree’s diameter, forest
ers estimate it at breast height.
Freshman Lindy Harding was the
winner in DBH estimation.
Winners in the chain-throw com
petition were Sherretts and Gene
Gehring. In this event, competitors
take a 66-foot-long steel cable — First
used by lumberjacks to measure an
acre — uncoil it, stretch it across to a
stake, then recoil and throw it over
the stake.
Sherretts and Gehring also rep
resented A&M in this event last year.
Gehring, a senior urban forestry
major, said he learned the skills for
the chain-throw event in a surveying
class.
Gehring also won other events.
He climbed a 20-foot pole in 4.9 sec
onds to win the pole-climbing event
and he was 100 percent accurate in
chopping a pole to fall on a stake in
the pole-felling event.
Sherretts kept his balance on a log
rolling in the water to win the log
bil ling contest.
Sherretts and Stewart won the
men’s cross-cut event by sawing
through a 10-inch by 10-inch cant —
a railroad tie — in 15 seconds. Stew
art also won the Jack ’n’Jill cross-cut
with Michelle McAffey, a sopho
more forest management major, and
the bow-saw event. Stewart tri
umphed in the bow-saw event by
sawing through an 8-inch by 8-inch
cant in 20 seconds.
The women’s cross-cut was won
by McAffey and Nancy Brannon, a
senior forest management major.
Jamie Rodgers, a senior forest sci
ence major, won the axe throw and
Richard Shaw, a sophomore forest
management major, won the knife-
throw competition by hitting logs
with a bull’s-eye painted on them.
Theater
(Continued from page 3)
says. “So is CBS, but it has to do with
the ‘bigwigs’ at CBS. That’s whose
hands it’s in now.”
Gordone explains that if the series
airs, he no longer will be the only
script writer.
“In the series they (CBS) will as
sign two or three writers,” he says. “1
will be pretty much just a consultant.
I may write one or two (episodes)
along the way, but I wouldn’t write
each seperate script. I’m just too in
volved in theater and with this
(A&M’s theater department).”
Unless the series demands his un
divided attention in New York or
California, Gordone says he has high
hopes for the future of the Aggie
Players.
“I want to see where I can go with
these young people,” he says. “Thus
far I feel very fulfilled where I am
right now ”
Gordone’s wife, Susan Kouyom-
jian of American Stage, also acts,
and Gordone has appeared in a
cameo role in “Angel Heart,” a mo
tion picture starring Lisa Bonet of
“The Cosby Show” and Mickey
Rourke.
Gordone’s status in the entertain
ment business and his connections
with other actors could prove benefi
cial to A&M by bringing well-known
guests to the University.
Gordone says he would like to see
some of his friends from the stage
and the screen visit A&M.
“We’re in the midst of getting
some of these people out to the de
partment to talk and tell them (the
theater students) about the reality of
the acting world,” he says.
Gordone says he believes the stu
dents may not be getting enough
“reality preparation.”
“That’s another reason why I’m
here,” he adds. “Many times the kids
get steeped so much in academia
that they don’t get too much of the
reality of what goes on outside. I’m
here to give them the good, hard sell
on what they’re going to face when
they get out there on the street.”

Son fears father may use
magazine to hire other killers
HOUSTON (AP) — A tearful
teen-ager testified Monday he
feared that his father, now on death
row for hiring a hit man through
Soldier of Fortune magazine to kill
his mother, also could use the mag
azine to do the same to him.
Gary Wayne Black, 18, testified in
the second week of a federal court
trial in which he and his grand
mother, Marjorie Einmann, are su
ing the military magazine for $22.5
million, accusing it of negligence for
running an ad that led to the slaying
of Sandra Black.
Mrs. Black was Gary’s mother ail
Mrs. Einmann’sdaughter.
The ad in the self-prodaimk
“Journal for Professional Advettf
ers,” based in Boulder,
brought Robert Black, the wona
husband, together with John Wa®
Hearn, who placed the ad.
Black is on Texas’death rowfm
