OSU Asks For
New Building
In 1963-65
T h e new For esu·y Sciences Laboratory of the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station was dedi ca ted on the OSU campus last A ugust. T he building is located
on Jefferson Stree t between the Mall
and
35th
Street,
a pproximately
900
feet west of the present Forestry Building a nd adj acent to the proposed new
Fot·estry Building site.
·
The Forestry Sciences L aboratory
at Corvallis, dedica ted last August, is
operated by th e Pacific Northwes t
Forest a nd R ange Experiment Station
with h eadquarters in Portland. While
administrativel y an d organically sep·
ara ted from O rego n State University,
th e long history of cooperation betwee n Lhe U. S. Fo rest Servi ce and
OSU's School of Forestry h as led both
organiza tions to think of the ne·w
building as a n ex tension of the cooperative progr ams of th e past.
The building makes excellent use of west·
ern woods. Individual offices feature n ative
wood paneling and extensive use is made of
g lu-Ja m beams, wood panels, and bu ilt-up
pl ywood. The un it has been laid out so that
future expansiou , tentatively sch ed u led over
1he next few years, will blend in well wi th
projected OSU buildings to be p laced near
the area.
T he new bui lding now ho uses 17 forest
scientists, incl uding OSU fernhoppers Robert H . Ruth , R oy R. Silen, Kenneth W .
Krueger, and J erry Franklin (on lea ve) .
Research o n forest insects, disease, manage·
mc ut, gene lics, watershed management, and
economics is currently being conducted.

Forests Hard Hit by
October Wind
The biggest news on the school forests for
I !JG2 is the big blow of Octobe r 12. The
wind blew down approximately 7 million
hoard feet on i\fcDona ld Forest and 2
mill ion board feel on the P a ul Dunn Forest. T his amounts 10 about 3 years allowahle cut, ;md creates severa l pro blems. Bill
Davies, fo rest supervisor, indicates the School
will try to get the down timber out by
Spring 1964 to minimize bark beetle build up . B y D ecember 31, a little over I million
boa rd feet had been removed by contract
loggers, i\farvin R owley ('50) and Bill
L ycl•c ("GO) . Anothe r problem is the increased fire hazzard created , especially for
next summer. Some spring b urn ing is pla n ned where areas have been salvaged. Some
of these stands arc now sparsely stocked, and
brush will probably develop under them .
During the year 4.7 million board feet of
thinni ng and salvage logs were sold to local
mills. T his includes approximately o ne
million board feel of blowdown me ntioned

Prospects of a new wooden forestry
building on Oregon Stale Uni versity's
campus brightened appreciably las t
summer when OSU President James
Jensen and Dean of Administration
J\I. Popovich listed a new forestry
building as one of the priority pro·
jects for the 1963-65 biennium. The
listing, which included several other
pr-oposed campus buildings, was submi tted to Dr. Roy E. Lieuallen,
chancello r of the State System of
Hig her Educatio n.
Approva l of the ch ancellor a nd the Board
of Higher Education is required before the
pro posal can be su bmi tted to th e legislature.
T he p resent forestry building was dedicat·
cd in 1917. Originall y, education and forestry
classes and offices occupied a portion of the
building. As fores try classes grew in size and
im porta nce, more of the build ing was conver ted to forestry use. Today the forestry
huilding is d evoted exclusively to forestry
illstructio n and research, and these function s
ha ve overfl owed into quonset space and
loaned space in o ther buildings .. Remodeling
has converted ha llways, the old garage a nd
heating rooms, a nd air space into classrooms

As you all prolJably know b y n ow, the
new Forestry Bu ilding is now bemg planned
For construction in the 1965-67 program,
which I t hink we a ll agree is too fa r in the
future. O u r job is to convince the powers
t h a t be we need it n owl If you h ave any
ideas on how to move tbe construction date
up, let us have them.
Now to another job o[ at least equal importance! The meas ure of a school is the
record made by its gJ·acluates and Oregon
State University is no exception. H ow can
we as a lumn i h elp build t hat record and so
build the reputation of our school?
Man y of you have worked on t l~is big job
[or years and you need no renunder, b11t
perhaps some of the rest of us have never
thought t he matter through; perhaps some
o f us can do a bit more in this regard.
Needless to say, we should always try Lo
[it an O.S.U. man into the job !hat is
available in o ur own organization ; we should
advise O .S.U. men of openin gs we hear o[ in
other o rganizations, and in a ll cases check
with th e school ro see th at the best qualified
man is placed in the opening.
Beyond t he above, we can Lake lime to
talk over problems, with fellow Fcrnhoppers
wh o a re temporarily out of a job or in
need of a helping h a nd to get o ut of a
dead e n d situation. Every time we are a ble
to help an O.S.U . grad we a re he lping bui ld
t he school. L et's all be s ure we are constantl y trying to h elp qualified Fe rn hoppers
get a start in the p rofession and also to
boost those on the job to high er positions
that we k now they can ha ndle.

THE FORESTS. Bill Davies reports in detail elsewhere in this issue and I won ' t
trespass undul y on his top ic. From an administrative viewpoint, opera ! ion of th e Me·
Uonald and Dunn forests has been h ighly
sa tisfaclory this past year . St and improvement, hazard reduction , road developmen t,
s al vage recovery, and net returns available
for research all increased. Ca refu ll y projected management plans blew clown along with
the Limber in the h urricane of October 12,

EDUCATIONAL
AND R SEAR CH PR OJ ECT. The schol a r s hip , staff development a nd research benefactions described in the l ast Oregon Sta te
Forester, cont inued this p ast year, with
than kful ness o n our pa r t fo r these gen erous
gran ts. Then [or t he f u t ure the L ouis ' '" ·
and Maud Hill famil y Foundation made
possible fo ur p rojects to run for 2-3 years:
s tudies of Ceanothus and other nitrogen -fixing species on cutover lands, lign in (a Forest Laboratory project) , watershed manage·
men t, a nd the improvement o f fo restr y educatio n . The total gran t for these activities
was .$126,430, and we are most grateful.
Past visiting professors were mentioned in
this column last year. Nex t sp ring term o ur
visi tor under th e Sout h San tiam project will
be Professor A yaakira (llumpin) Okazaki , o[
Kyoto Uni versity, Kyoto, Ja pan . Bumpin was
here for a week some years ago. H e has been
active in forest man agemen t research a nd
has been chair man of the fo restry depart ment in his university . ' '"e look forward
wit h pleasure to renewing frie n dships upon
his arrival. Mrs. Okazaki will accompany
him .
B UlLDING. We have over[) owed into the
two q uonset h uts adjacent to the building
a nd a re gJ·eaLiy crowded in try ing to provide space for t he presen t e nrollment of
<165 s tudents, and t he in creased scop e of
forestry activity. One sta ff m an is now h oused
a t the Lab, and another in the Botany D epar tment because we have n eithe r office
nor lab space for them in the forestry building . In 19 16, when the b uilding was completed, th e re was a staff o[ 4 and 66 swdents. No one h ad heard o [ aerial photo
interpretation , photo-micrograph y of wood
fibers, load cell testing of skylines, or the
X-ray analysis o[ seeds. Today we have
costly a nd complicated equipment and signi ficant work going on , in all these areas.
Sp ace for these and o ther eq ually import an t aspects of modern forestry is grossly
inadequate and our efficiency is compromised
to that extent. Therefore it is a very real
pleasure t o preview the fact t h at th e p rcsi·
d e nt's office has placed a n ew forestry stru cture in the '65-'67 biennium buil ding request.
The Stale B oard of Higher Education is
asking for a tota l of :j)38,8·~!i.OOO [or build ing
an d major a l tera tions in rhe 1963·65 bienni um. This budget figure is extremely la rge
because legislative appropriat ions in past
!'age Three
sessions have not bee n adequate to meet
past building requirements. Construction is
now urgenLi y needed in a number of places
in t he State System. Before a new forestry
building goes up, 15 other wor thy proj ects
must be funded at OSU alone. Board requests will require rhc whole-hearted s upport of all Fernhoppers; and when the fores ters are even tually housed in a building appropriat e to t heir profess ional need s, then
the whole-hearted s u pport must continu~ so
that the e nt ire institution may gain the
facilities essential to i ts purpose.
The School of Forestry h as recommended
that the new building be called "Fores tt')"'
fo r ease of identification a nd that the origina l
forestry building be named Peavy Hall.
SHORT COURSES. The forestry sho r t
course progra m h as grown so that more than
one fu ll time staff man is required to h andle
the work load, and the president's o[fice has
gran ted this pos i tion . I'm mixing review and

it was unsuitable [or furth er use. After

will provide a su ccessor to the Peavy Cabin
and a companion to George Peavy's ashes,
which are scattered i n fro n t of the bu ilding

FOREST RESEARCH PROGRAM MOVES AHEAD
The consolidated forest research program
at Oregon State Un iversity moves into its
second year with new vigor . The combined
program now operates under two adv isory
committees: one for forest products and one
for forest managem e n t. These two com m ittees
provide broad policy guidelines for all for est research undertaken at Oregon State

widely in construction, research on stru ctural
properties continued to be important. Studies
of Oregon woods in floors, and of tJ1e relations hips between strength and other properties were maintained. A major study o£
sampling on variability in western hemlock
was added. A new addition to the staff.
Bob Krahmer, is active in this work.
In con t inued efforts to devise uses fo r
wood residues, Bob Samuels is studying
means to increase dimen sional stabil ity of
paper , and the influence on pulp of sapwood content of chips.
Chemists Doug Glennie and Harvey Aft.

Studies are con t inuing on merits of
heating Douglas-fir veneer bolts before peeling, and on means t·o decrease dimensional
changes in particle board.
Other studies of improving wood products are on s trength of wood treated with
fire retardant, and on means Lo discove r and
treat decay in utility poles in service.
Forest Science
The news letter of last year reported
some majOI- gains in the research effor t of
members of our instructional sta ff througl~
g rants for specific projects. Further s uccesses
in this type of s upport have r.onunuccl
through the past year.
The Louis W . and i\1aud Hill Family
Foundation continues lO support the projects
of Professor Frank Smith , botany departnJent, on cone opening and seed dispersal,
Kim Ching, Te i\fay Ching and Helge
Irgens-Mo ller in pollen physiology and storage, and in seed orchard grafting techniques;
Rill '"' heeler, in maturation of tree seed;
and M. D. McKimm y in the variation of
wood characteristics among different races of
Do uglas-fir. New grants of s ubstantial
amoun ts were approved by th e Foundation
in September which permit the cooperation
of Professor Evans, botan y department, Professor Chet Youngberg, soi ls, and Mike Newl on of our forestry staff to study the role of
certai n shrubby species in nitrifying the soil
of cutover forest lands, and the consequent
e ffect of successional changes of the vegetation. Grants were also provided for Jim
Krygier to in vestigate the water usc of various local watershed plants as a means for
improving wa tersh ed management practices.
J ohn O'Leary is continuing his work on
feasibility of helicopter logging through support of th e Paci fic Northwest Fores t and
Range Experiment Station. H e has made
great progress in secm·ing the interest of the
Sikorsky Compan)' and oth er manufacturers
in actively support ing development of this
t yp e of logging.
The Pacific Northwest· Forest and Range
Experiment Station continues support for a
plywood marketing project; for Professor
Smit h of botany to investigate th e anatomical
characteristics of balsam wooly aphid-infected
wood; for a second project concerned with
the anawmy of seedling root development;
and fo r Professor Pratt of zoology to study
the parasites of bark beetles.
J im Krygier has been pu t on a half-time
bas is to initiate research in watershed m anagement. His curren t work is concerned wi th
th e downstream e ffect of logging on three
small watersheds in th e Alsea Basin.
Julius Rudinsky, entomology, T. M. Ching,
seed laboratory, and Chet Youngberg, soil s,
have bee n awarded new grants by National
Science Foundation. A second forest entomologist, Rill Nagle, has been employed in
the entomology department to mee t the ever

ACCREDITATION. i\ profession can be n o
stro nger than the professional ed u c_a tion on
which i t is fo unded. For some nme past
it has been evident that the S.A.F. standards
fo r a ccreditation, and as we ll , th e interpreta·
tion of those standards, permitted accredita·
tion of som e institutions which were just
no t equipped to offer a high quality forestr y
education . I have been a member of the
Committe [or the Advancement o f Forestry
Educa tio n for some years and it has bothcr~d
me that we have not advanced very far m
this tim e. In consequence l !\'ave a good deal
of effort to the problem tht.s . ye~r and have
tried to work out a clan ftcauon o f the
standards approved by the Co u~ c il in 1959.
The comm ittee a s a whole ts currently
studying these proposals. If forestry is to
progress, forestry education . must _be . pro·
gressive. A prev iew o f the. future mdlCat.es
that tech nological aod _o;ocial chan~ will
make much greater demands on foresters,
all kinds of foresters, than ever before . The
committee had beller advance forestry ed ·
nca tion to m eet those demands.
Here a t the School we have this complex
future in mind . lL is our intention lO a id
every graduating senior to become capable
o f solving forestry problems; _ca_pable of
earlier. The planned cut of 3.5 nlllhon board
feet per year will he increased for th e next
earlier. The planned nll of :s.r. million
hoa rd pc•r ye ~r will he incre ased fm· th e nex l
yea•· or two to take care of the h lnwdow n .

Approxima tely 90,000 Douglas-fir seed lings
were planted in December. The stock this
year was 3·0 and 2·1. Surviva l h as been poor
in the past with 2·0 stock, even on the n or ~h
slopes, and Bill is hopefu l th a t results wtll
be beLLer this year. Ten thousand o[ these
seedlings were planted on south -slope grass
areas where the grass had been chemically
treated. Preliminary stlldies hy i\like. New ton
showed that killing the grass greatly m creases
tbe soil moisture available for the trees.
During 4 weekends of special season 290

l'lanuing [or space need s has hceu uuder·
taken by the OSU forestry staff si nce 195G.
Dean McCulloch travelled throughout the
U nited States in 1958 to visit other forestry
schools a nd learn how they had u tilized
their ex ist ing and new buildings. Using
ideas gain ed [ro m this trip and suggest ions
from th e entire forestry staff, rough space
a llocatio n plans were prepared by Tony Van
Vliet of the forest p rod ucts d epa rtm eut.
Two preliminary plans have been drawn
for space allocation p urposes since the first
~·ou!l'l~ draft. was m ade in 1958. Each time,
m d tvtdual mstructors have pored over thl'
dra wings in an attempt to weld ideal class·

provide a ll the infonnation needed. Cm·
rently, de partment heads are making a d eta iled exam ina tio n or space allocation with
an eye to specia lized equipment need s for
each instructio nal and research area.
"Vhile the forestry staff will not be able
to dicta te the maten a ls specified in lhc fin al
b ui ld ing plans, every effort is bein g m ad e
to keep western woods in the picture. Since
the proposed site of t he fores l t1' building
is adjacent to the newl y dedicated U. S.

the staff is hoping the a rchitectural theme
of that build ing will be ca rried over to the
