ALL EDITIONS Ex-Rep. Steiger may seek governorship as Libertarian Former U.S. Rep. Sam Steiger, has changed his voter registration and may run for governor as a Libertarian. Steiger, a Prescott rancher, has informed Libertarian Party officials that a final decision will be made by June 5, when the party holds its state convention in Phoenix.

Tyler Olson, party chairman, said Tuesday he led a 15-member executive-committee delegation to Prescott on Sunday and asked Steiger to be the Party's nominee in an effort to ensure allot status in 1984. Parties must win at least 5 percent of all votes cast for governor or president to ensure a place on the next election ballot. Otherwise, parties must collect signatures on petitions to qualify, a time-consuming process. Steiger, 53, could not be reached for comment Olson said Steiger would make "a dynamite candidate" but stressed that the latter did not make a commit-. ment Steiger lost a hotly contested U.S.

Senate Republican primary failed. Olson said Steiger "got in touch" with party officials last week and asked how the party's campaigns were going. Originally, a few officials had been planning to talk with Steiger on Sunday, Olson said, but then the delegation grew in size. "It became a pilgrimage to Mecca." Olson said he came away from the meeting believing that Steiger would be the party's candidate for governor if pending business deals did not collapse because of his switch in registration. Another factor that may influence Steiger's decision is whether his candidacy would attract Republicans from the GOP gubernatorial nominee and ensure the re-election of Gov.

"I don't have any illusions about beating Mr.

DeConcini," Miss Killeen said. "But I'm on the ballot, and I will be a voice for conservation." What rankles her about DeConcini, she said, is that, when he first ran six years ago, he was a moderate, but he since has become more conservative. What's worse, Miss Killeen said, DeConcini says he can get along with Watt, President Reagan's secretary of the interior. "Watt lost his credibility as a conservationist from Day 1," she said. "Seventy percent of the people who know him want him out It's a travesty of justice.

It's un-American." She conducted a "dump Watt" campaign on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson and sent hundreds of letters from students to DeConcini demanding Watt's ouster. The i senator responded by 1 saying he could handle Watt, Miss Killeen said.

This isn't Miss Kil-leen'8 first run for politi-1 cal office. "You might say I'm running in reverse," she said. "I started at the top, and I'm working my way down." In 1976, she was a write-in candidate for president.

Two years later, she halted her a run for governor and switched to campaign for the state Senate in Tucson's District 11. Her slogan in the state Senate race, which she lost, was: "Be somebody. Vote for a nobody." Miss Killeen, who was married once for only seven months in 1979, tried twice to become a Roman Catholic nun. In what sounds a bit like a lecture, she said, "I'm proposing that on Mondays and Thursday, people go on an energy diet You must fast, abstain from using electricity, natural gas, and gasoline. It's a challenge.

It lakes discipline." Although she depends so; much on a bicycle, which she calls "the most efficient machine, ever invented," she plans to use her van for most campaign appearances, mainly because of Arizona's summer heat To qualify as DeCon-cirji's opponent in the Democratic primary Sept. 7, Miss Killeen needed 2,469 signatures from three counties. She turned in 3,237 from Pima, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. "What I'm trying to do," she said, "besides raise money with recycling is to affect the thought process. I want to get people away from the throw-away mentality.
