July 21. 1998 Applications for sharp-taile- d grouse hunt now accepted Division biologists who surveyed leks (sharp-taile- d grouse breeding areas) on a portion of the hunt area this spring, estimate the hunt areas fall population at between 6,900 and 8,400 birds. d While a pointing dog will be a tremendous asset for hunt- ers who have one, even those who don't can expect to flush birds. "Sharp-taile- d grouse don't hold as tight as some upland game birds do, Mitchell said. "Sharptails are more of a nervous bird and if you walk into the general vicinity where they are, theyll probably flush. Mitchell reminds hunters that the land within the hunt area is almost exclusively private. "Hunters will need to do some scouting first and then secure permission to hunt before the season, Mitchell said. After identifying areas to hunt, hunters are advised to visit the Box Elder County Recorders Office, which can provide them the names of landowners within the county.

A Sweltering heat drives people from Utahs parks Associated Press Trails and campgrounds in Utah's parks and recreation areas saw use Friday as wilting heat drove many people al indoors. Paul Henderson, spokesman for Canyonlands National Park, where temperatures were in the neighborhood again, said "The only people eryoying themselves in the park this time of year are the ones on the river. The Green and the Colorado rivers cut through the park and make for some of the most spectacular river running in the West. Most of the park, however, consists of desolate slot canyons and fantastic sandstone formations. For the most part, there is no water and rangers discourage midday hiking. "Lets put it this way," Henderson said. "There are plenty of backcountry permits available. If you're looking for a feeling of solitude, hike out there. Youll be the only one. Even the bugs stay out of the heat. Denny Davies, spokesman for Zion National Park, said temperatures there reached 111 degrees Friday afterregistering 121 degrees Thursof the parks day, leaving 340 campsites empty. Davies said one of the chief concerns is the fire threat over the Pioneer Day holi100-degr- two-thir- dont professors teach more? Legislators want to know Utah why Garn, R Layton. "Were still waiting." Many legislators say they are unsettled by the number of teaching assistants instructing college students. "If the state is paying their salary, we have some expectation they spend a certain amount of time in the classroom, Garn said. "So they want to require that professors spend a certain number of hours in the classroom or face the possibility ofthe Legislature withholding some funding, Winters said. "But thats not the right solution. What they could do is establish minimum re By Associated Press A panel of scientists and educators is writing a report that will try to explain to the state Legislature why some Utah professors don't spend much time in classrooms. "Theres an attitude among some legislators towards research that (the professors) are just wasting their time in the laboratory, that theyre playing around and wasting money, said Suzanne Winters, who chairs the state Advisory Council for Science and Technology. A subcommittee headed by University of Utah vice president Richard Koehn is writing a report for presentation to the 1999 Legislature. The lawmaking body asked the state's universities to explain their teaching policies. We were trying to get a handle on how many hours professors were spending in classrooms. The universities didnt have the numbers and they were directed to come back to us with a report," said Rep.

We could come up with something reasonable. The salaries of many research professors actually are paid by grants from governments, corporations, foundations or other organizations, Winters said. "And what ' the legislators may not see is the training students get when they are hired to work side by side with a professor on a research project, Winters said. The University of Utah received $157 million in research awards during 1997, with about $120 million of that amount coming from the federal government. At Utah State, it was $107 million, ranking the school No. 1 nationally on a basis among land grant schools. Need Drywall Work? do patches, basements, remodels, or full houses.
