Show d::l cf Year Certify Aj:st Prca fcu Snow Ccl!:go by Keueth Tuttle, qD ytvr Cwucrvalioa Officer DivWoa at Wildlife Recmiice ctMMMity !( chilly blasts of winter are in the past. This past winter has really tested the ability of wildlife to exist. The deer especially have had the greatest struggle. The early deep snow forced them down into the low foothills and valley where they were exposed to all sorts of dangers. The highway toll is extremely high and is continuing. The deer are weak and fences are a terrible death trap. When chased or disturbed they misjudge in jumping and get hung up. Dogs only have to chase them a short distance until they give up and just die. Also because of their weakened condition and the change from coarse woody diet to green suculent grass they get the scours. This takes a big toll of the young and the old. We have scheduled our spring range rides and if any of you interested sportsmen, horsemen, landowners or others who are concerned about our game management policies would care to join in, you are most welcome. This will be a good chance to show you just how the deer have wintered. We will also point out such features as utilization, vigor of plants and the type of vegetation it takes to support a deer herd through a winter such as we have had. We start at the Mayfield corral April 2 at 9 a.m. and ride North and South Hollows. On April 3 at 9 a.m. we meet at Red Point south of Manti and ride south to Six Mile. On April 4 at 9 a.m. we ride North and South Willow Creek. We meet at Stan Nielsons ranch. On April 5 at 9 a.m. we meet at the Forest Service yard and ride from S" hill north to Pigeon Creek. We will also meet and ride from the Forest Service yard on April 7 at 9 a.m. Elaine Reid and her riding group will direct this ride and have plans for a range ride and spring outing. School and Home by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty Executive Secretary Utah Education Association A hammering boy was away on a back-yar- d carpentry project when he missed the nail, struck himself on the thumb and reacted in a way that was to change his life. man who had lived on the other side of the fence. The women were talking about how the man had died a few months ago not from the impact of a flying hammer, but from a heart attack! The boy who tossed the hammer had put two and two together and gotten six. ' He had ' endured months of mental agony for nothing. If he'd talked the matter over with someone, hed have gotten the truth long ago. That story and countless others tell parents, teachers, ministers and friends that we should always be able to talk to troubled youngsters. Before we are really ready to talk, though, we must be ready to listen. Angered by the pain, he flung the hammer away. It sailed out of sight over, fence and lancje somewhere with an audible thump. Now frightened, the boy ran into his room and stayed there until supper-timHe worried. Two days later, he walked past the house where the hammer had sailed. The boy saw something on the door that made his pulse jump. It was a black wreath. His worst fears had been true, he reasoned.

Marvht Hlgbee The heavy snow along the low foothills has melted some and occasionally we are reminded that the cold On the first of March the EPA issued an emergency There has been considerable discussion nationally regarding test scores of high school graduates. It seems that nationally there has been a decline in the test performance of high school students. Im frequently asked if Snow College has noted a similar decline in the test scores of entering freshmen. In 14 years, the average American College Test score of Snow College freshmen has remained constant. In fact, the score is exactly the same for the 1978 freshmen as it was for the 1965 freshmen. This record speaks especially well for the high schools that are sending students to Snow College. During this same period of time, the American College Test score of the average Utah high school graduate and average national high school graduate has declined, thus changing the relative position of Snow Colleges freshmen when compared with freshmen at other two-yecolleges. Fourteen years ago, 66 of the high school students who took the American College Test and then enrolled in two-yecolleges nationally, scored higher than the freshmen of the entering Snow College, Today, 52 freshmen nationally who enroll in two-yecolleges score higher than Snow College entering freshmen. During this time of declining test scores nationally, high school grades have increased. In 1966, the average high school senior in the state of Utah had a high school grade point average of 3.21. A debatable question is whether students are earning higher grades in high school or teachers are giving higher grades in high school. Fourteen years ago, the average high school graduate came to Snow College with a 2.63 grade point average, today, the average freshmen enrolling at Snow has earned a high school grade point average of 3.08. This most certainly means that students enrolling at Snow come here with high expectations and from past experience, expect that they will do well in a college environment. Since instruction is the primary function of Snow College, it is our responsibility to respond to these expectations of entering students in concert with their ability. For this reason. Snow has instituted over the past few years, a Special Services program under the direction of Max Aycock and Gordon Davies. This program provides tutoring in all subjects for all students who need it on a free and individual basis and special basic skills dasses for those who need extra help with math, reading and English skills. State University and University of Miami have lead the EPA to conclude that significant correlation exists between this herbicide and miscarriages in women in Oregon. However, commenting on the reports, the EPA said, While it is not proof of cause and effective relationship it is highly suggestive, particularly in light of animal data (rats and mice), there is great cause for concern." Under the action any cell distribution or use of a suspended pesticide during this suspension period is illegal and may be punished by substantial penalties. Suspensions were use of power lines, rights of way, pastures and forest, The use on range land may be continued because suspension did not cover this use. Dow Chemical Company, the largest producer of 2, 4, reported that prior to this suspension EPA had reviewed all data and information from Oregon and had concluded that it was safe to use. Their conclusion was made earlier this year. It was reported at meetings in Boise, Idaho this past week that this study involved only 13 pregnant women who had miscarriages. Many scientists who have reviewed the scientific data claim 5-- Stephen Morrio to Speak that the trials had many flaws and that the data does not support the action of EPA at this time. Dow Chemical Company has filed suit against EPA for taking this action and is hoping they can get the suspension lifted. If at the conclusion erf the hearing, the EPA feels that it can allow continued use it will be up to the individual states to prove their particular need for the chemicals. Utah does not use a large amount of 2. 4, 5--T or related compounds but nevertheless it is an important tool. In Sanpete County we recommend that musk thistle be controlled with the use of Silvex when it is in the stock stage or has gone past the rosette stage. We recommend a quart of 2, 4, 0 combined with 2 quarts of 2. 4,S-Ti- n a minimum of 30 gallons per acre be used to control musk thistle when it is in the stock stage. If the suspension continues throughout the year it could have a definite effect on the control of musk thistle in Sanpete County. If anyone in Sanpete County relies on 2, 4, 5-or Silvex for weed control they should contact Rick Gibson at Utah State T University. His address follows: Richard D.
