IRS assistors help several people at a time to prepare their returns. The group gets step-by-step guidance and individual attention is given , when necessary.

"This is a crucial time of year for deer. As the snow melts and the first signs of spring begin to appear, the animals are in the poorest condition of the year. If they can survive for another week or two, they'll probably make it," said one conservation officer. One of the major problem points is on the west end of the Hcber Valley near Midway. In the herd located at this point, nearly 20 animals out of 100 have died. "It looks like they're moving back in the hills; they should make it now. However, they don't have much strength. They can just lay down and die," the officer added. Residents in the area have been trying to aid the deer by giving them hay and branches. The officers say this method of feeding is generally futile, but they are trying to develop a successful method for feeding the starving deer. The deer in the Midway area are being forced into smaller and smaller grounds, because of the increased building of homes.

AT PROVO State Schools Hike Tuition Over a month ago, Utah Technical College students received a hike in tuition. Now the other slate schools have been given permission by the State Board of Regents to raise their tuition. At UTC, tuition for residents will be raised from $100 to $110, and for non-residents, the raise will be from $300 to $330. An overload fee is now going to be charged to students attending the University of Utah, Utah State, and Weber State College. School officials from these institutions reported to the Board of Regents cases in which students would enroll, for example, in as much as 32 to 38 hours of classwork and take incomplete grades in half of the work. These students would return in subsequent quarters to complete the unfinished work, without going through normal enrollment procedures. In the past, the tuition for full-time students has been uniform, regardless of the number of hours taken. The Board of Regents decided to add an overload charge of $3 per credit hour for each hour of classwork between 21 and 25 hours, and at 26 hours, the charge goes to $15 per credit hour. For non-residents this charge is $9 per credit hour between 21 and 25 hours and $45 an hour for each additional hour beginning at 26 hours. At Utah Technical College at Provo, the overload idea has not become a problem. Therefore, the administration has not added additional costs for extra hours. Students attending the nine state schools in Utah pay a variety of tuitions, depending upon hourly loads, or the college policy. Students also pay a variety of fees at the schools. At Southern Utah State College, Dixie College, College of Eastern Utah, and Snow College, residents were assessed an extra $10 per quarter for tuition. Non-resident tuitions were increased $25 per quarter at these four schools. Really, Mom, All A's! According to sources, the test-scoring machine which was moved to Pre-Tech earlier, has begun to score tests wrong. "It moved to Pre-Tech, and it forgot how to count," alleged one instructor. The affair is being investigated by the Department of Internal Affairs who didn't have anything else to do. YA Blossoms on the trees remind us that the time of new life has again entered the seasons.
