"The cost for the first test will be $22 with subsequent tests costing $18 each," said Gary Dunford, SUSC director of counseling and testing. Well over 1,000 students have received CLEP credit at SUSC since the national testing program began in 1971. SUSC awards a maximum of 46 quarter hours credit in general education areas. ' 'This is the equivalent of a year of schooling which not only reduces the amount of -- -- scien- time a student spends working towards a baccalaureate degree, but which can greatly cut educational costs," Dr. Dunford said. "Interested persons can take the entire battery of general examinations, or they can take only tests in areas where they feel most proficient," he explained. "In addition to the general examinations, a number of specialized tests, or subject examinations, are also available." "CLEP was designed for the nontraditional student who has acquired knowledge through correspondence and extension courses, educational television, adult education programs, training, and independent study. It is based on the concept that what people know is more important than how they learned it."

Weights of newborns range from 6.0 to 11.0 pounds. In Oak Creek in October, male fawns weighed 70 pounds and male yearlings weighed 122 pounds. Growth in males peaked at 8 years at 248 pounds. Female fawns in October weighed 65 pounds. Yearling does weighed 111 lbs. and does grew little after they were two year olds, when they weighed 125 pounds. Bucks store fat rapidly from April to October, but deplete most fat by December, and reach a low weight in March. Does gain weight from June to December, then lose weight until May. Antler begins growth slowly in April, but it proceeds rapidly during May, June, and July. In August antler growth slows, and most velvet is shed between 25 August and 24 September. Antlers are shed to late from March, and the shedding in early peak occurs February. Poor nutrition may cause antlers to be shed or November during December. With proper nutrition, especially during the spring and summer, yearling bucks have two points on each side, and sometimes even have four points. On poor ranges, especially poor spring and summer ranges, yearling bucks are spikes or may even lack antlers. Deficient diets result in thin, spike antlers even for some three-yeolds.

Milford To Promote LDC On September 22, Peter S. Cooke, Director of the Utah Economic and Industrial Development Division, and a delegation of six people representing industrial and community development visited four southern Utah cities. The purpose of the trip was to acquaint officials and members of the business community with funding options available to them that might be implemented to help in establishing new businesses or assisting the expansion of existing businesses in their communities. The morning began in Loa, at a meeting with the mayor and representatives from both private and public sectors. The discussion encompassed establishment of a Local Development Company (LDC) to assist Loa and surrounding communities in attracting small assembly operations, perhaps for the electronics industry. Those present were in favor of formation of such an organization. The second stop was at Panguitch, where the group met officials of that city. Part of the discussion was with two local resort owners who are interested in opening a snowmobile resort in the Brian Head area. A presentation was made by a local businessman seeking funding for the expansion of his cement etching business. His presentation precipitated inquiry into forming an LDC to accommodate such requests. In Cedar City, the mayor, Jack Sawyers, and members of the city council and chamber of commerce discussed the growth pattern of their i ea. Talk centered around the possibility of using an LDC to acquire the funding needed to locate a potential tenant in the industrial park. The final stop of the day was at Milford, where Mayor Roy Young hosted the meeting. After a presentation by Peter Cooke on establishment of an LDC, the concensus was that those present would begin immediately to try to generate interest in setting one up. The purpose of the Milford LDC would be to involve local citizens in the actual planning and implementation of an economic growth policy for their community.
