Research Reveals Shad Location Utah fisheries biologists, like Little Jack Horner, stuck in their thumb and pulled out a plum, when they placed nets in 100 feet of water at Lake Powell and came up with Threadfin Shad. The Utah Division of Fish and Game stocked Threadfin Shad last June and nothing was seen of the. small fish again until research work in Wahweep Bay turned up their location. Working with sonar equipment, biologists located several feet pockets of fish at vertical depths. Experimental gill nets were lowered into the water, and when they were brought up biologists found small Crappie and Shad. Nearly 7,000 (me to three inch fish were stocked by fisheries workers who seined them from Lake Mead in Arizona. Introduction was made to provide a forage base for the potential planting of Striped Bass in Lake Powell. First step was to get a food supply established before planting of any game fish. Largemouth Bass, already in the Lake; will also benefit from the plant of forage fish. Threadfin Shad are prolific breeders and may reproduce two or three times in one year. This member of the Shad family will grow to six or seven inches in length and will be readily eaten 90-10- 0 Selective Service Answers Questions Q.: I was a full-tim-e college student until recently when my doctor hospitalized me for what he said might be several months.

Preference will be given to those experienced teachers recommended by their district administrators, who can receive sabbatical leave, leave of absence, or assured contract for the year following the completion of the fellowship program. Assurance from administrators that curriculum support will be given to the teacher upon his return to the district will also be an important factor. ETFP participants will take 15 hours of graduate work each of four quarters for a total of 60 hours credit. Teachers who successfully complete the outlined program will be awarded the Master of Science degree in social science. Experienced teachers will receive stipends of $4,000 per academic year (three quarters) plus $600 per dependent. An addi- tional $800 per fellow and $120 per dependent will be paid for summer quarter. To qualify for the Prospective Teacher Fellowship Program the applicant must be 30 to 55 years of age, be retired or recently discharged from military service, have completed a bachelors degree with a major or minor in any of the social sciences, have a grade point average of 2.5 or above, and have a desire to obtain a teaching certificate in secondary school social studies (those who already possess a certificate are not eligible). re-ent- er A.:-Yo- rs Agricultural Bargaining Act High school science projects ranging from the barometric relationships of cosmic rays to a study of Fremont Indian culture A.D.) will be presented at the Seventh Intermountain Junior Sciences and Humanat ities Symposium, March the University of Utah. Dr. Donald Bode, director of the program, said 229 students and teachers from Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, and Montana have been selected to participate.

The most outstanding science students in the Intermountain area have been chosen to participate by their high school principals on the basis of scholarly achievement. Hie objective of the program is to promote the study of science and mathematics and to demonstrate the part the humanities' play in the development of science. The theme for this years program is The Professional Scientist. Dr. Thomas C. King, academic vice president and associate professor of surgery at the University of Utah, will deliver the keynote address, Science and the Humanities.

Moss is a co sponsor of a bill titled the National Agricultural (D-Uta- Bargaining Act, which would authorize two separate vehicles for giving farmers greater economic muscle in the marketplace, and greater control over, their pricing and production policies. The bill is intended to stimulate discussion and debate over 'merits of farmers bargaining power. Senator Walter F. Monauthor of the dale, bill, told the Senate that none of the are wedded to the specifics or detailed language of the bill. He said hearings will be held to determine whether legislation is possible or workable. A poll conducted by The Farm Journal, showed overwhelming farm support for bargaining legislation through evof the nations ery farm population. The bill calls for creation of a National Agricultural Relations Board, an independent, group, appointed by the President with Senate confirmation. Its duties would be to provide administrative, technical, and supporting assistance to farmer marketing committees and purchasers committees. The bill also would allow any additional agricultural commodity or product, except canned or frozen products to be eligible for a marketing order. Such an order could be made if the Secretary of Agriculture, after a special referendum of affected producers, finds that a majority of those voting are in favor of an order for that commodity or product.
