host the league’s basketball tournament in March 1985 with Weber State casting the dissenting vote In the past the tournament host was the Big Sky regular season champion which often wasn’t determined until the final game of the season The hope is that the switch to a single-site tournament format will increase interest in the tournament said Big Sky Commissioner Ron Stephenson The new plan is a “continuation of n the experiment of the playoffs” said Weber State Athletic Director Gary Crompton who opposed the post-seaso- tow iron h® you playing for?” Big Sky 7-- plan All eight Big Sky teams will play in the conference tournament in Boise re- gardless of their regular season records — and that bothers Crompton “You win the league and play the eighth-plac- e team on a neutral floor” “You

Utah Wildlife Federation said Sheldon Eppich past federation president The federation has asked for a legislative investigation of the dismissal it says was politically motivated It has also asked that the divisions of wildlife resources and parks and recreation be removed from the Utah Department of Natural Resources and established as separate state govern- mental entities Day has said his firing had the appearance of personal vindictiveness stemming from changes expected after a new governor is elected and was political instead of being based on any wrongdoing He said that no agency of government with a critical function scientific or otherwise such as wildlife can afford to be muzzled or impeded in fulfilling its public trust He charged that since 1978 the department of natural resources has eaten up 20 percent of the budget to build its central operation Day also said $150000 of inventory purchased with sports- men’s dollars has been the by department appropriated with no explanation or record of the transaction The material he said has been placed in a general warehouse where it may be used by any division of the department If the wildlife division wants the material it must pay for it again said Doug Pay wildlife division financial officer Day has also said that when Gov Scott Matheson imposed a four percent cut on all state government agencies during the recent budget crisis across-the-boa- rd the department of natural resources cut its budget by nine percent eating up most of the trout stamp money which was supposed to be used to improve fish hatcheries Day said he didn’t go public with his accusations because he was told not to by his supervisors No reason for the dismissal has been given by officials of the department of natural resoures Those asked have said they do not want to comment Day will remain on the division payroll until October when he will be able to collect full hole-in-on- The first ace came Saturday during a tournament at Golf
