The Senate's "Big Spenders" for the year were J. Bennett Johnson and John Glenn, with the low scores of 29 and 30 percent, respectively. For the second year, NTlTs Congressional Spending Study includes a significant change in the methodology used to compile the scores, a change which was designed to improve the accuracy of the index. The NTU study, already widely praised by political commentators, has, since 1978, included every vote that affects the amount of federal spending. Previously, each vote was weighted equally. Again in this years study, the NTU staff and 42 members of Congress assigned weights to the votes on a scale of 0 to 10.

In 1955, the state began the first of three fisheries studies on the high Uinta Mountains. The first study resulted in mapping the lakes and initiated an experimental stocking program. Stocking was done both by horseback and, for the first time, by airplane. The second study, started in 1971 and completed in 1979 on the south slope, looked at the fish populations, habitat and potential management scenarios.

Under the new federal immigration control law, the U.S. Immigration and Nutralization Service (INS) designates and trains a limited number of legalization assistance providers to applicants and help the government process the massive number of applications expected. An estimated 12,000 to 15,000 illegal aliens live and work in Utah, with up to 3,000 of those working in agriculture. Those who do not apply and gain approval for legal residency will be subject to deportation, under the new law. Although Farm Bureau will focus on helping agricultural workers and their employers with the complicated process of legalization, no applicant coming to Farm Bureau for assistance will be denied help, said C. Booth Wallen-tinFarm Bureau executive vice pre-quali- e, president. Wallen tine said the organization will provide legalization assistance under the direction of Jerry Fer- guson, a bilingual Orem native with many years of experience in assisting immigrants and who has a background in dealing with government regulations.

Lower, more productive lakes with heavier angler pressure are maintained with densities to 150 fish per surface acre. Aerial stocking is done in cycles of one to five years depending on location, angler pressure and fish growth. This third phase study is also looking at increasing fishing diver sity for anglers. Most of the lakes have been traditionally stocked with Cutthroat and Brook trout. Biologists are looking at other strains of these fish that better netting can tell the trained observer about fish density, growth rates, age class distribution, general health and the success of natural reproduction. By looking at the fish, the biologists learn about the condition of the lakes, what they can support, and what kinds of habitat problems exist. Generally, the findings have been positive. Most' lakes have some natural reproduction and some are capable of maintaining a healthy fish population without support.
