r- star Casper Area Sunday, March 2, 1 986 Star-Tribune, Casper, Wyo A3 Cardinal group of Manning addresses Catholics in Casper -s-7r "It works out well," she said. "We were fortunate" to be able to schedule the Cardinal to address the women's Bishop's Guild at the same time. Manning, who was present at the opening and closing of Vatican 11 in 1965, said there was great debate at the time as to where the "teaching of the blessed mother fit in." In the end, he said, the decision was made to "include her into the document of the church." Manning said renewal of Catholic loyalties in the church begin with "Our Blessed Lady," the Virgin Mary. She affirms the total humanity of Christ, Manning said, pointing out that the Bible says Jesus Christ was "born of a woman." "Humanity is associated with her," he said. Manning said Mary is one of the key figures in the Church.

Therefore, he said, those who do not understand her cannot understand the incarnation of Christ. The Cardinal also said Mary is the link between the Old Testament and the New Testament "As a Jewish girl, she binds together Israel and Christ," he said. By KENDRA ENSOR Star-Tribune staff writer CASPER The retired archbishop of Los Angeles addressed over 100 local Catholic women in Casper Saturday and called on them to reaffirm their thinking and faith in the Virgin Mary. "We have neglected her since the Vatican Council," Cardinal Timothy Manning said. "The devil will try to rob our hearts of any relationship to her." "The time has come now to hold her in high honor," he said.

Manning, who has been a Cardinal for 13 years, also visited Casper in 1976. He was most recently in Wyoming during the fall of 1979 to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of a children's home, Wyoming's Bishop Joseph Hart said. The 77-year-old cardinal, who retired as archbishop of Los Angeles last fall, is one of seven American cardinals. According to Sally Ann Michalov, editor of The Wyoming Catholic Register a newspaper for the state's Catholic community the cardinal's visit let the Catholics in Wyoming know that they matter. Siar-TribuneBill Willcox This heavily-damaged fence on Fort Caspar Road near the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds bears mute testimony to the force of the collision that killed a 24-year-old Casper man early Saturday morning after his car skidded on a bridge near the fairgrounds, crashed into the chain-link fence and flipped over.

Larry Dean Kiger was pronounced dead at the scene of the 2:00 a.m. accident. Kiger's car, a 1971 Ford convertible, was traveling west on 13th Street near the fairgrounds when it went out of control, Casper police reported. No other details of the accident were released Saturday. TIMOTHY MANNING 'Devil will try to rob our hearts However, the main purpose of Manning's visit is to address a communion breakfast for all the male members of Casper's three parishes Sunday.

The annual men's breakfast always involves a nationally known speaker, she said. Software Continued from Al actively marketing the software to other governmental units that use Burroughs mainframes, McAllister said. The packages cost anywhere from $4,000 for the fleet-maintenance software to $7,000 for the fiscal-control system. The price jumps by $3,000 plus travel expenses and $35 per hour fee on each package if the customer wants Doherty to install the software and train workers to use it. Although private programmers churn out scores of new software programs each year, McAllister said the city is not butting in on private enterprise.

"There's a void (in the market) in terms of applications for this kind of hardware (the Burroughs KTWO-TV plans to switch main affiliation from ABC to NBC Rival KXWY-TV negotiating with ABC over broadcasting rights mainframe)," he said. "If the private sector had been doing this, we wouldn't have the market we have." The city will sell only programs that are used in Casper, McAllister said. Programs on Doherty's drawing board include local assessment-district tracking, purchase-order voucher automation and automated filing. The council is scheduled Tuesday to decide whether to approve the sale. Revenues will go to the data-processing department, a $340,000 annual operation that relies heavily on the city's general fund.

Income from software sales could free up the general-fund dollars to be spent elsewhere, McAllister said. ming. But he said he does not anticipate the necessity of such moves. KXWY General Manager Peter Sieler had announced in October that KXWY and its Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -based owner, First National Entertainment, anticipated becoming a network affiliate by January of this year.

Price said KTWO's switch will give Casper's oldest TV station first choice on NBC's top-ranked programming. For its part, NBC will have greater access to what network executives have called "the dominant broadcasting voice of Wyoming," Price said. While the Nielsen television ratings results are not yet final February is a major ratings month Price suggested that preliminary returns show NBC will come out the winner of a network ratings battle with ABC. "We feel that the NBC television network. is doing very well," he said.

He said KTWO already carries "the best of both" networks in its daily fare, but switching primary affiliation to NBC will give the station a leg up on the competition for NBC programming. Fatal scene Heritage Continued from Al proposed project. James Welke, a journalism professor, said a university has an obligation "to preserve our heritage and pass it on to future generations," which will "be awfully glad somebody had the foresight" to preserve collections like theAHC's. Welke estimated that 60 percent of the faculty "may have reservations" about the center. But "a large portion do not have reservations.

That is a pure guess," he said. He said that exaggerated predictions of additional personnel requirements are always made when any one part of a university will get the benefit of a major project. Except for Gressley, faculty members who served on an AHC planning committee last year said last week they strongly disagree with a UW trustees' decision to locate the AHC-Art Museum complex a half-mile east of the UW Library. They said many researchers will But Cordon said he believes KTWO's move is pre-emptive, intended to opt for the better network while it still has a choice. "I think they're taking the network they want as opposed to when they won't have two" networks from which to choose, he said.

Cordon said he expects negotiations with ABC and NBC to result in KXWY's acquisition of ABC affiliation by April. The station may have to negotiate some type of transition period between April 1 and Sept. 1, during which time KTWO will retain an affiliation with ABC, he said. Cordon still, is submitting data to ABC about the station's ability to transmit the ABC signal to Wyoming through a new, Casper transmitter and two satellite stations in Riv-erton and Rawlins, he said. Cordon also said he does not think KTWO will oppose KXWY's affiliation.

KTWO is owned and operated by the Casper-based Harriscope Broadcasting Corp. Price said the station plans no major programming changes when NBC becomes the primary affiliate Sept. 1. i Str-TribuntRick Sorcnson KXT plans to woo ABC need to use both facilities in their work and the separation will be inconvenient. Given the state's poor economic circumstances, culling and cataloging the large amount of material already collected is a higher priority than erecting a new building at this time, they said.

The Star-Tribune last week contacted the eight members of the AHC planning committee. The five teaching faculty members on the committee all expressed fears about the effects of long-term AHC operating expenses on the remainder of the university. Gressley has an opposite view. The AHC, he said, "will be an economic benefit, not a drain, to the state, including the university." The committee's Aug. 15 report said a new AHC building, with a number of memorial wings and dedicated rooms, could cost $20 million and require about 25 additional workers, bringing the nual AHC staff costs alone up to $850,000.

AHC supporters reject those estimates. The committee's report included an assessment by David Gray of the North Dakota Historical Society. Gray said the AHC's existing 'dedicated room' concept should not be transferred to the new building" because of "enormous problems" with security and collection preservation. UW architect Morris Jones said the $13 million proposal now before the Legislature is for AHC Phase half of which will be funded by private donations. He said it will not include a large amount of dedicated exhibit space unless additional private funds provide that opportunity.

Gressley said the building would have some dedicated rooms, but he could not estimate what the operational costs would be. "That depends on how the architects' plans are drawn. We can't make that decision at this moment," he said. Sandeen of American Studies said the size and location of the proposed building will mean "an incredible drain on necessary resources from academic departments and elsewhere for an enterprise that is only marginally connected with the university." Locating the AHC near the Arena-Auditorium is a "major mistake," Sandeen said. "Out there it will be separate from the university, not a part of the university," he said.

Slater said that the building "will make enormous demands in personnel needed to staff and to maintain it. There are hidden costs associated with this that no one has seriously considered." Geologist Lillegraven said he has not been persuaded that obtaining the Anaconda collection of mineral exploration records will be a major boost to the geology department or to economic development in the state. He said a geology building addition is much more important to the department's improvement. Geology professor Ron Marrs travelled to Denver recently to see the Anaconda collection. He said he would report to the geology faculty at a meeting Monday.

Frison and the other committee members, except Gressley, agreed that a $13 million heritage center is not a high-priority item presently, considering tight state budgets and the primacy of UW'j academic mission. Gressley and Walthall indicated it would probably be impossible to find any project for the Centennial that would invoke near-unanimous faculty support. Committee member and UW Library Director Keith Cottam believes a smaller, storage-oriented building, using compact shelving on rollers, could be constructed for much less money. "We must have a new building to conserve the materials that have been collected over the past 30 years and to free up desperately needed space in the library" which is currently devoted to AHC materials, Cottam said. "But we do not need an AHC monument" like that being proposed by AHC supporters, he said.

"We must take care of what we already have first. To build memorial wings right now is folly." All of the teaching faculty members contacted said that much of the existing AHC collection is not available to researchers. They said Gressley has always emphasized collecting and given less emphasis to proper storage and cataloging of the materials. Gressley denied the claim, saying 80 percent of the holdings have been cataloged. "The archiving, accessioning, cataloging, and storage responsibilities must be met before grandiose display structures are erected," Slater said.

American and Wyoming history professor Cardoso said he has done extensive research in the archives. primary obligation of the university is to make accessible what we already have, and that simply has not happened," he said. "Building a new AHC is not the first interest of most faculty here, even among people who use the AHC," Cardoso said. The proposed building "will not meet our needs, either in physical location or in priorities." Cardoso and other committee members said they were told that a number of "dedicated rooms" have already been promised to AHC donors. Sandeen said the existing collection "is an uncut diamond with some absolutely first-class things.

But they have to be made accessible." The proposal, he said, "is just putting an old problem into a new building." Sandeen said research use of the collection now "is miniscule" because the materials have not been adequately cataloged and entered into national data bases of manuscript collections. UW archivist Don DeWitt, who has been working with the collection for three years, estimated that only 10 percent of the materials have been fully cataloged and that up to 50 percent of the holdings are secondary, published materials that are better handled with traditional library techniques. DeWitt said only 422 researchers used the archives in 1985, an average of fewer than two per day. About 35 percent of the AHC's current budget of $640,000 is devoted to processing material while the bulk of the budget goes to continued acquisitions. Unless those priorities change, he said, the processing will never catch up to the collecting.

Acting English department head, Keith Hull, said he knows of no one in his department who supports the project. "It's a bad idea to spend that much money at a time when it is needed for instructional purposes," Hull said. "The university and all of state government are under a hiring freeze and I have yet to see how they're going to staff it." 3 snowmobiles, trailer stolen from local man CASPER Someone reportedly stole a $1,200 trailer carrying three snowmobiles from a Forest Drive home late Thursday or early Friday.

DP ASS awards funds for day care projects CHEYENNE (AP) The state Division of Public Assistance and Social Services has awarded $25,000 to six agencies for day care projects, Administrator Julia Robinson said. Some of the money will be used to establish a state child-care clearinghouse to store day care training material and make it available for distribution. The University of Wyoming Extension Service will coordinate the cataloging project with the Casper Day Care Child Development Center, the Wyoming Early Childhood Association, Laramie County Community College and the Natrona County Child Care Committee. The Nutrition and Child Development agency in Casper received money to help latchkey children cope with loneliness and fear when they come home to an empty house after school. There were 15 proposals for grant money, according to By DAN NJEGOMIR Star-Tribune staff writer CASPER Wyoming television heavyweight KTWO plans to switch its primary network affiliation next fall while newcomer KXWY-TV is negotiating for the broadcast rights to one of the two networks now aired on KTWO.

Hoping to capitalize on NBC's recent ratings successes, KTWO will shift its primary network affiliation Sept. 1 to NBC and away from network rival ABC, a station official said. KTWO will keep a secondary affiliation with ABC, according to station General Manager Bob Price. NBC now holds KTWO's secondary spot. But while Price said KTWO plans to retain its affiliation with ABC and dismissed talk of encroachment by KXWY, a lawyer for KXWY said the station is negotiating for ABC broadcast rights.

Al Cordon said in Washington, D.C., that the station's owners hope to cinch primary network affiliation with ABC by April 1, assuming no complication in negotiations. Cordon also said he believes KTWO has switched its primary affiliation to NBC in anticipation of KXWY eventually getting affiliation rights for either of the networks. Primary affiliation with a major network gives a station the first choice of that network's programming in the station's market area. Cordin said KXWY is entitled to affiliation with one of the major networks, since KXWY now meets an FCC requirement that it reach two-thirds of the audience of the area's next-smallest station Casper's KCWY-TV, a CBS affiliate. He said if negotiations are unsuccessful, the station will have Other recourse through the FCC or U.S.
