3 FROM PAGE 1 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1988 LINCOLN, NE. JOURNAL Toastmaster will compete in Washington Diane Walkowiak, a member of NBC Center New Horizons Toastmasters Club, qualified Saturday for international speech competition by winning the Region IV speech contest of Toast-masters International in Sioux City, Iowa. She will compete against eight other finalists in August in Washington, D.C. Before Walkowiak competed in the regional contest, she won at the club, area, division and district levels, Walkowiak is office manager for NBC Computer Services Corp. and has been a Toastmasters member for about 18' months.

Toasmvisters is a non-profit educational organization that helps people improve their communication and leadership skills. Worldwide, the membership is more than 131,000 in more than 6,100 clubs. Lincoln's 16 clubs are among 76 in District 24, which includes Nebraska, except the Panhandle, and Council Bluffs, Iowa. KUCV known as Lincoln Fine Arts Radio, and by the college board. Two lengthy applications then were, prepared and submitted to the Federal Communications Communications.

The first application which sought the license transfer was approved this month. A construction permit that would transfer the KUCV studio and transmitter is pending. Approval is expected in the fall, McBride said The KUCV studios then would be moved from 3800 S. 48th SL to the Nebraska Educational Telecommunications Center at 1800 N. 33rd SL The new transmitter and KUCV antenna will be at the recently constructed tower of Beatrice radio station KYMT, southeast of Hallam.

The 660-foot antenna will increase the station's coverage area by 240 percent, including much of southeast Nebraska. Adams, Beatrice, Crete, Dorchester, Douglas, Friend, Hallam, Milford, Seward, Sterling, Unadilla, Wilber and Wy-more will be among the towns able to pick up KUCV. The cost of the transfer and relocation is estimated at $106,050. That money must come from private sources as no NETC funds are available to run the sta Specials good thru 61488 From P9e1 the commission. Shaaf said Mingles has responded to the problems by installing closed-circuit TV to monitor customers and the employees and by hiring a security service to watch for minors carrying false identification.

"The fake ID problem has gotten incredibly bad," said Shaaf, noting that this is the second time that Mingles has employed a security service to try to cope with it 'Mayor's been there' "My impression of the commission is that they think, perhaps, that the devil goes to Mingles. But we're going to show that it isn't a dangerous place that civic leaders go there and that the mayor has gone there, and we're going to have letters from people and have our customers tell them about it," Shaaf said. Humble said Celebration Inc. has developed a comprehensive training program to help alert employees to the warning signs of problems with customers who drink too much. He also said the Lincoln Police Department has been working with Celebration Inc.

Their report should be finished this fall, in time for NETC to ask the Legislature for appropriations to begin building the network. It is premature to set timetables or guess at the cost of a network, McBride said, but Nebraska has three advantages going into the process: The commission already has television broadcast towers throughout the state.

Studies are being done to determine whether public radio station can carry slg- -nols on NETV towers. If so, a great savings will be realized. Technology and FCC rules now would allow a public radio signal to be "piggybacked" on the NETV broadcast signal, a rather inexpensive interconnection system. Federal government policy calls lor public television and radio to be available nationwide. The Public Telecommunications Facilities Program, which linances new stations, gives priority to those areas that will receive new service.

"With all of what we want to do, we will qualify in that priority category," McBride said. The donation of KUCV to the commission, however, is more important than any of those advantages, McBride said "This very generous contribution of equipment and transfer of the station to the commission is going to move forward the development of a Nebraska public radio network in a far faster manner than it would nave otherwise, McBride said. 10 pm 7 days a week tion. Lincoln Fine Arts Radio has raised about half of that amount and expects to reach the total within in the next few months, said Bob Nefsky, its presidenL Under the transfer agreemenL KUCV win continue to have the same basic programming of news and classical music. All current KUCV staff members have been invited to continue working for the station under NETC operation, McBride said.

Union College President John Wagner said he is pleased with the transfer and hopeful about the future of the station, which was established by the college in 1968 and increased its power to become available to the general public in 1980. In the past 20 years, Union College has invested $650,000 in the station for operations and equipment and another $100,000 in in-kind services, Wagner said. "Even though it was a financial decision to begin with, I'm personally happy it has gone this way because I believe KUCV can be of much greater service to Lincoln and Nebraska under the new arrangements," Wagner said. NETC begins operating KUCV as a detailed statewide plan for establishing a public radio network is being completed.

Backers of the Two Forks Dam re-, ceived word of the latest obstacle to the controversial project Tuesday when National Park Service Director William Perm Mott added the 21.9-mile stretch of the river to the system's list. Mott said that stretch of the South Platte holds outstanding recreational, fishing, historic and endangered species -value. His action came as Gov. Roy Romer -approaches a Friday deadline for mak-1 ing a decision on whether he will support I the dam.

Romer's action is considered critical 2 to the dam's future because the federal agencies responsible for issuing building -'permits for the project have said they do not expect to oppose Romer's deci-'-sion. I Congress would make the final deci-sion on whether to protect that part of the South Platte. The stretch of river southwest of Den- vci, iiuiu uie iieesmaii unm me North Fork, is among the 2 percent of the nation's rivers being considered for protection. That section is in one of the most heavily used forest areas in the state, and the river is considered one of the best fishing areas.
