Show d Utahns want fishing, survey shows UINTAH BABIN nlw3 jNti A plurality of Utahns believe the state should have a year-rounfishing season, rhis was the finding of Utah State University's Bureau of Government and Opinion Research in a survey of 1,100 Utahns regarding the Division of Wildlife Resources. The most support for year-rounfishing came from younger respondents, while the most objection came from those over age 55 and retired persons. A small plurality of those in business, professional and white collar occupations and a clear majority of blue collar workers fishing. approved of year-lonThe Bureau noted that a very slight plurality of those who did not purchase a 1973 hunting or fishing license and a clear majority of license holders approved. Geographically, most support came from Wasatch Front and southern Utah residents. One mother who disapproved said, "My kids would be fishing all year and I would never be able to keep track of them. In another question regarding treatment of wildlife law violators, only nine percent of those interviewed knew someone who had been arrested in 1973. Approximately 48 percent of these respondents believed the courts treated the offenders about right. Another 30 percent claimed the treatment was not severe enough, and 14 percent said it was too severe. The remaining eight percent replied "don't know. Miscellaneous comments from residents included many complaints about matters over which the Division does not have jurisdiction. Examples of these include too many fees and taxes (boat taxed to death taxes, camping, etc.) . . with respect to boats and trailers"; fees for camping grounds; state parks cost too much to use; need to plant trees at Strawberry"; no tax on snowmobile, only regular fee; not enough parking for campers; restrooms are pretty bad, etc. Surveyors learned that almost half of Utah's 16 and older residents participated in hunting and fishing activities requiring a 1973 license. A higher proportion of men, individuals with incomes over $8,000, nonretired persons and southern and northeastern Utahns participed. Just 11 percent of the survey population hunted or fished in 1973 for wildlife which are not protected by game seasons. This group was mostly males under 30 with blue collar jobs, residing in d lhone News Items to 722-513- Eagles win first, Altamont tumbles; Union falls 48-- 0 Duchesne, fresh off its first win of the season and Altamont, down from a 50-beating, face do or die situations this .week in battles to keep alive their hopes for a state play-of- f birth. Union, meanwhile, faces the unenviable task of stopping Wasatch, rated number three in the state 2-- class. Duchesne, with only one region win, nevertheless can still gain a play-of- f slot if it stops Monticello and Altamont loses to San Juan. A play-of- f for the play-of- f would then be played to send the region's second representative. (This would be in n question since a agreement was made to play-ou- t ties, which Monticello and San Juan did play last week. If the tie is not played out Monticello would still be the region representative if Altamont lost and it lost An earlier ruling that Duchesne cannot play in the playoffs may yet be overturned). Altamont if it is to get into the play-off- s must win and Monticello loose and it has the second spot and the berth, the first in its three year football school, but program. San Juan is a has been weak this season. Union for its part is going nowhere, as far as play-off- s are concerned, but a win would go along way towards salvaging the season. It would also avoid a winless season. Last week, only Duchesne captured a win as it downed Green River 16-- while Altamont was being stomped 50-- and . Union was being stamped For Duchesne the win was especially sweet since it was the first of the season and saw both the offense and defense click together for the first time. Touchdowns were made by Jeff Lott on a five yard drive in the first quarter and later quarterback Mark Petersen and 6 pre-seaso- Marcus Liddell teamed up for the first passing touchdown of the season. Extra points were scored by Peterson on a quarterback sneak and John Welsh on an end sweep. Coach Ed Browning credited his entire defense with a fine game. For this week: Altamont has the need, desire, and ability to defeat San Juan if the two crushing defeats in the last two weeks have not hurt morale. The Longhorns should win it by ten. Duchesne is a mystery. The team has shown promise and has talent, but can they beat Monticello? Monticello should win, but the combination of a long drive, a hungry Eagle squad, and the first ever at Duchesne, is on the side of the Eagles. In a big upset look for Duchesne to edge the Buckaroos by one or two points. Union has the toughest test and Wasatch will be coming to Roosevelt with blood in their eyes. Union wants this badly, but is at least a two touchdown undercat. football-homecomin- g 2-- Union J.

Nearly nine in ten of the combination license holders hunted deer, and about one in five hunted elk. Upland game were hunted by two in five, and waterfowl by one fourth of these hunters. A large majority of them also fished with most fishing on lakes. About four in five fishing license holders fished on lakes, while two in five fished streams. It is therefore evident that about one in five fished both lakes and streams. The survey, which is 95 percent accurate for the entire population, was taken with the following objectives in mind: To measure attitudes and opinions of Utah residents concerning the Division; to measure opinions and characteristics of nonresidents who bought a hunting or fishing license in 1973; and to determine the expenditures of the people who engaged in recreational activities requiring use of the states wildlife resources in 1973. hunted elk. year-roun- northern Utah.
