inter
wearing
themselves
slowly
away,
Spring
is
rapidly
making
its
mark
upon
Mother
Earth.
This
is
the
season
of
rebirth
and
new
life
for
nature
who
has
been
asleep
these
past
winter
months.
As
we
look
around
the
campus,
especially
around
the
dorms
and
classrooms,
the
sight
we
see
is
far
from
a
pretty
one
to
behold!
W

the
rapid

the

Forester’s
Log
Cabin
Nears
Completion
by
Earl
Fahey
On
the
South-East
corner
of
the
campus,
among
the
pines,
border
ing
Lower
Saint
Regis
Lake
stands
the
reality
of
every
PSC
forester’s
dream,
the
Log
Cabin.
In
a
recent
interview
Steve
Weaver,
Forestry
Club
President,
informed
us
that
construction
of
the
cabin
has
been
underway
by
the
Forestry
Club
for
the
past
five
years
under
the
guidance
of
Pro
fessor
Gould
Hoyt,
the
club's
ad
visor.
This
unique
structure
is
ap
proximately
eighty
percent
com
plete.
This
year’s
projects
included
the
installation
of
electricity
and
completion
of
the
huge
fireplaces.
W
ith
the
exception
of
the
elec
tricity
and
foundation,
all
work
has
come
from
the
students
giving
their
free
time
and
talents
each
Saturday
during
the
school
year,
a
task
they
all
can
be
well
proud
of
and
consider
a
monument
to
Paul
Smith’s.
The
cabin
wil
serve
many
pur
poses
to
both
the
Forestry
Club
and
the
college;
for
example,
the
Forestry
Club
w
ill
hold
most
of
its
functions,
meetings
and
Woods
men’s
practices
there.
Having
the
cabin
w
ill
also
enlarge
the
cam
pus
facilities
for
student
use,
and
the
forestry
department’s
activ
ities
and
will
provide
a
place
to
keep
trophies,
tools
and
other
equipment
used
by
the
Forestry
Club.
These
are
but
a
few
of
the
potentialities
the
building
will
serve.
A
t
times
the
Forestry
Club
has
had
differences
with
the
admin
istration,
but
without
the
financial
aid
and
materials
supplied
by
the
college
the
cabin
would
still
be
a
mere
myth.
The
club
has
steadily
picked
up
momentum
and
hopes
to
see
final
completion
of
the
cabin
within
the
next
two
years.
Paul
Smith’s
College
can
be
proud
of
the
cabin
which
will
be
a
landmark
in
the
Adii-ondacks.
Tasks
left
to
be
completed
are
installation
of
doors,
windows,
erection
of
a
porch
floor,
ceiling
and
fireplace

a
il
signs
of
a
generation
that
preaches
and
is
taught
Ecology,
but
stresses
it
to
w
h
a
t
ends?
Our
aim
is
not
to
point
the
fin
ger
at
any
one
individual,
for
we
all
are
to
blame
in
this
crime
of
litter,
although
many
times
more
indirectly
than
directly
when
we
see
someone
litte
r
and
act
as
though
we
never
saw
it
occur.
The
question
is,
how
to
eliminate
the
problem?
W
ith
Easter
vacation
over,
this
leaves
us
with
only
a
couple
of
weeks
to
get
some
hard
work
done.
Perhaps
a
solution
would
be
to
have
the
dorm
representatives
set
up
clean-up
committees
for
each
dorm
and
other
major
campus
areas.
W
o
rking
together
one
after
noon
in
a
clean
sweep,
a
badly
needed
job
could
be
completed
in
time
for
the
Spring
Weekend
acti
vities.
I
t
’s
our
school
so
let’s
make
it
something
we
can
be
proud
of
and
respect
as
students
of
Paul
Smith’s.
W
e
so
often
say
we
are
divided;
now
is
our
chance
to
show
that
unity
can
be
a
reality
and
a
goal
that
can
be
reached.

The
week
of
February
27th
through
March
2nd,
Dr.
and
Mrs.
Chester
L.
Buxton
left
Paul
Smith’s
fo
r
Dallas,
Texas,
to
at
tend
the
52nd
annual
convention
of
The
American
Association
of
Jun
ior
Colleges.
A
total
of
over
three-thousand
delegates
from
over
800
Junior
Colleges
were
present
from
both
national
and
international
locat
ions.
Paul
Smith’s
College
has
been
an
active
member
of
this
organ
ization
since
1946,
the
beginning
of
the
college.
This
year’s
theme
was
“Strateg
ies
For
Change.”
Commissions
and
workshops
during
the
Convention
included
such
areas
as
student
per
sonnel,
equipment,
administration,
legislation
and
testing.
Dr.
Buxton
noted
some
of
the
seminars
he
at
tended
such
as
Federal
Affairs;
Project
Focus,
the
implications
and
sounding
in
the
field;
Effective
Legislation
and
the
role
of
Trus
tees
and
the
National
Council
of
Independent
Junior
Colleges.
These
workshops
were
held
between
gen
eral
sessions
of
the
convention.
Dr.
Buxton
said
the
social
func
tions
and
gatherings
planned
were
to
be
highly
commended.
One
of
these
was
a
musical
program
last
ing
fo
r
three
hours.
The
stage
was
set
up
in
four
sections
to
allow
for
groups
to
perform
one
after
the
other
in
succession
so
the
stage
was
changed
a
total
of
ten
times
making
an
endless
program
of
en
tertainment.
Students
from
40
Every
Thursday
night
you
can
go
down
to
the
Hotel
Saranac
ballroom
and
get
away
from
the
normal,
everyday
cafeteria
meals
to
enjoy
a
student
buffet
for
the
minimal
price
of
$3.00
for
all
you
can
eat.
Each
Thursday
a
student
in
the
8-week
hotel
program
is
de
signated
manager
for
the
buffet.
The
manager
then
takes
over
the
junior
colleges
made
the
program
a
success
and
a
work
of
art.
Much
is
learned
and
taught
at
such
conferences
as
these,
stated
Dr.
Buxton,
and
an
excellent
ex
change
of
ideas
is
conducted
by
all
the
delegates.
The
convention
also
give
the
junior
colleges
a
chance
to
become
better
acquainted
with
one
another
and
share
their
prob
lems
and
how
they
can
best
be
solved
to
enhance
the
education
of
our
young
adults.
W
ith
the
approach
of
spring,
new
and
very
exciting
business
falls
on
the
Student
Council.
First
off
we
have
Spring
Weekend,
starting
off
with
a
mixer,
May
5th,
starring
Octavian.
W
e
had
this
group
here
at
Paul
Smith’s
earlier
this
school
year,
and
they
were
indeed
an
immediate
success.
We
all
hope
you
bring
a
date,
and
have
an
enjoyable
evening
with
Octavian.
It
has
been
traditional
for
the
past
few
years
to
have
a
concert
included
in
our
Spring
merry
making.
This
year
we
are
featur
ing
Melanie,
that
sweet
young
singer,
who,
would
you
believe,
is
working
her
way
through
college?
It
is
our
hope
that
of
the
1100
students
now
attending
Paul
Smith,
1100
students
will
show
whole
show
which
first
starts
with
a
theme
chosen
by
the
manager.
Some
of
the
past
themes
have
been
“
D
r
iftin
g
in
Tim
e,”
“
Adiron
dack
Springtime”
and
“
Red
Beard’s
Feast.”
The
students
try
to
make
them
as
original
as
possible.
Next
the
menu
is
planned,
remembering
not
to
get
too
extravagant.
They
also
order
the
food,
make
the
menus,
set
up
a
work
schedule
for
cooks,
waiters,
and
so
on
and
they
set
up
advertising
if
they
wish.
On
talking
w
ith
the
advisor
for
the
students,
M
r.
Forth,
I
found
out
that
the
buffets
were
a
great
success
w
ith
no
real
complaints.
They
are
attended
not
only
by
the
towns
people
and
students,
but
by
people
from
Malone,
Plattsburgh,
Lake
Placid,
and
other
places.
People
who
have
passed
through
have
been
from
many
different
cities
and
countries,
such
as
Mon
treal
and
even
London,
England.
The
average
number
of
people
is
approximately
200.
For
the
most
part,
the
students
enjoy
preparing
the
buffet
and
find
the
experience
quite
rewarding.
up.
Tickets
are
only
$3.50
fo
r
stu
dents;
such
a
bargain,
you
can’t
miss
it.
Please
Come
!
!
Last,
but
not
least,
is
our
Beer
and
Chicken
Festival
on
the
Quad.
I
bet
that
most
of
you
city

never

your
chance.
