Resident Utah Deer Hunters' Preferences For Management Options, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness, Wes Shields

Great Basin Naturalist

A total of 3291 resident deer hunters returned questionnaires distributed at checking stations in fall 1989 and 1990 providing opinions and management data concerning the Utah rifle hunt. Hunters reported hunter crowding and too few big bucks as critical reasons for possibly choosing to quit deer hunting in Utah. Indeed, hunter age structure and measured satisfaction suggested a negative future trend in hunter participation. Results suggested the adoption of several hunter-preferred management options would increase satisfaction, motivation, and success.

Vascular Flora Of Kane Lake Cirque, Pioneer Mountains, Idaho, Robert K. Moseley, Susan Bernatas

Great Basin Naturalist

Kane Lake Cirque lies in the western Pioneer Mountains of south central Idaho. An inventory of the high elevation flora of the cirque revealed the presence of 180 vascular taxa representing 95 genera and 30 families. Five alpine taxa are here documented from Idaho for the first time: Carex incurviformis Mack., Draba fladnizensis Wilfen., Potentilla nivea L., Ranunculus gelidus Kar. & Kir., and Ranunculus pygmaeus Wahlenb. Kane Lake Cirque also contains populations of four additional alpine taxa considered to be of conservation concern in Idaho: Erigeron humilis Graham, Parnassia kotzebuei Cham., Saxifraga adscendens L., and Saxifraga cernua L.

Ecology And Management Of Medusahead (Taeniatherum Caput-Medusae Ssp. Asperum Melderis), James A. Young

Great Basin Naturalist

Medusahead is another in the extensive list of annual herbaceous species to invade the temperate desert rangelands of the Great Basin. Medusahead is not preferred by large herbivores and apparently is not preferred by granivores. Herbage of this annual grass enhances ignition and spread of wildfires. Medusahead is highly competitive with the seedlings of native species and is probably the greatest threat to the biodiversity of the natural vegetation that has yet been accidentally introduced into the Great Basin. Despite the obvious biological disruptions that are associated with medusahead invasion, the species offers a wealth of opportunities for students to …

Post-Pleistocene Dispersal In The Mexican Vole (Microtus Mexicanus): An Example Of An Apparent Trend In The Distribution Of Southwestern Mammals, Russell Davis, J. R. Callahan

Great Basin Naturalist

The present distribution of the Mexican vole (Microtus mexicanus) is not entirely the product of post-Pleistocene forest fragmentation and extinction; recent dispersal also is indicated. Literature records further suggest that this phenomenon may reflect a general pattern of northward range expansion in many southwestern mammal species.

A Qualitative View Of The Educational Experiences Of Black African Students At Brigham Young University, Khumbulani Desmond Mdletshe

Student Works

Black African students first began enrolling at Brigham Young University (BYU) in the mid 1960's. Most were from Nigeria and Ghana, having been sent by their governments to receive a higher education. In the late 1970's, students from other Black African countries began enrolling at BYU. But in the 1980's, government support was not as strong. As one former BYU graduate student from Nigeria put it: "When I first came here in 1980 there were at least 30 Nigerian students. There were so many of them because the government was sponsoring them. Now the numbers have decreased because the government …

Conventionalism And Contractarianism, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

In this paper Noel B. Reynolds’s theory of law as convention is compared to the public choice contractarian theory of James M. Buchanan. While there are numerous similarities, major differences emerge. Only conventionalism can produce legal and political authority and norms to guide the use of that authority in maintaining the rule of law. The concept of constructive unanimity is introduced to overcome the ultimate failure of contractarianism to legitimate the authority of law.

A Family History Of John And Anna Von Gunten, Collin S. Van Gunten

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Greetings to All My Family:

The idea of a family history began this year when I attempted to identify my ancestors who preceded John and Anna von Gunten - an attempt to stretch backward the generations of our family tree. Other families overwhelm me with their pedigrees reaching into the 18th, even the 17th, century. So why shouldn't I trace my roots to a greater depth, hoping that our heritage would be revealed

In early 1989 I contacted a prof esmonal genealogist, asking if she would undertake a search of John's lineage. She declined, saying she did not specialize in …
