i Join OS mmninig ir mm CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP -The deadline for obtaining positions on the Wyoming primary election ballot passed Wednesday with 36 candidates filing on the final day. The ballot closed with 205 candidates for the State Legislature, U.S. Senate, U.S. House and four judgeships to be filled this year.

Leading the list of last-day filers was Sen. Cliff Hansen, running for a second term. He is unopposed in the GOP primary. Independent candidates can file after the Aug. 22 primary if they have sufficient signatures and write-in candidates can be nominated at the primary.

Senate; Park, House; Natrona, House and Senate; Sweetwater, House; Fremont, House and Senate; Goshen, House; Carbon, House; Sheridan, House; Albany, House; and the Hot Springs-Washakie County Senate district. Republicans will have legislative primaries in 12 counties and Democrats will have primaries for legislative seats in seven counties. Several incumbent state representatives didn't seek re-election this year while some other House members decided to bid for the State Senate. Among those not on the ballot this year will be State Reps. William Budd of Riverton, Springs Democrat; Jennie McDonald, Laramie Democrat; Jess Fresquez, Cheyenne Republican; Gene Smith, Laramie Democrat; Orin Geesey, Kem-merer Republican; Dale Wright, Gillette Democrat; Donald Allen, Cheyenne Republican; Russell Zimmer, Torrington Republican.

William Cross, Douglas Republican; Richard Moser, Bos-ler Democrat; Howard Hem-bry, Cheyenne Republican; Ross Copenhaver, Powell Republican; Donald Doughty, Lander Democrat; C. B. Metz, Sheridan Republican; John Cu-lek, Pine Bluffs Democrat; Lou Mankus, Cheyenne Democrat: John Sullivan, Medicine Bow Roncalio renomination without a primary. None of the four incumbent district judges or Supreme Court justices seeking re-election has any ballot opposition. The only way they could be unseated would be by a strong write-in candidate in the fall.

Fifteen of the state's 23 counties will seek primaries for legislative seats either House or Senate or both on one party or the other. In some counties there will be legislative primaries in both parties. They are: Big Horn County, House and Senate; Converse, House; Campbell, House; Lincoln, House; Laramie, House and Republican; D. D. True, Casper Republican; State Rep.

Robert Schliske, Cheyenne Republican; Ellen Crowley, Cheyenne Republican, and Vera Breazeale, Laramie Republican. State Senate: Michael O'Brien, Riverton Democrat; Cal Taggart, Lovell Republican; Stanford Smith, Thermopolis Republican; John Abraham, Byron Republican; Joe Burke, Casper Republican; T. V. Jones, Cheyenne Republican, and Donald Cundall, Wheatland Republican. U.S.

Senate: Patrick Shanklin, a political unknown from Casper seeking the Democratic nomination. The deadline assured primary contests for the Republican nomination to Congress and the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate to oppose Hansen in November. There was a question mark over the renomination bid of Rep. Teno Roncalio, D-Wyo.

Ten-time congressional candidate George Posvar has filed against Roncalio, but the attorney general has been asked to rule if Posvar is eligible for the Wyoming ballot since he apparently resides in Washington, DC. Atty. Gen. Clarence Brimmer has indicated he will rule Pos- var off the ballot, thus giving Floyd Pease of Torrington, Marvin Emrich of Casper, Thomas Swanson of Casper, William Rhoads of Cody, Lawrence Yonkee of Sheridan, David Kennedy of Dayton, Albert Bradbury of Evanston and John Langdon of Worland. The last-day filings, in addition to Hansen, were: State House of Representatives: James Lane, Sheridan County Democrat; J.

Other incumbents unopposed were Reps. C. R. O'Neil of Big Piney, John Turner of Moose, John Kelly of Worland and Walter Oslund of Newcastle.

The newcomer was John Os-tlund of Gillette, who is running along with Stafford for the two seats in the Campbell-Johnson senatorial district. In contrast to the apparent free ride of these candidates, there will be stiff primary battles in other counties for legislative posts. One of the biggest will be in Big Horn County where State Rep. Bill Craft and two other men are challenging State Sen. Howard Flitner for the Republican senatorial nomination.

The winner of the fray has no Democratic opposition. Another contest of incumbents is in Fremont County were Republicans Percy Davis and Fremont Miller are running against each other for a four-year term. Again the win ner has no Democratic foe in November. State Sen. Nick Geis of Worland has two challengers for his party's nod in the new Hot Springs-Washakie County district.

In Laramie County there are five candidates for three Republican senatorial berths and six candidates for three Democratic slots. In the House Laramie County has 20 Republicans for 11 nominations and 17 Democrats for 11. Natrona County has 13 Republicans running for 10 House seats and 12 Democrats. In Fremont County there are nine Republicans for five nominations in the primary. House Speaker Ward Myers of Lovell is in a four-way House race for two Republican nominations in Big Horn County.

And speaker pro tern Cliff Davis of Gillette is in a five-way race for two nominations in Campbell County. CHEYENNE, Wyo.

They are men who had no op-position for legislative seats closed Wednesday. The only way they could be defeated in the general election would be by an independent candidate or by a strong write-in candidacy.

There will be an area reserved for research and audio-visual studies requiring intense concentration. Architects Adrian Malone and Associates have cooperated with the library board and the librarian to carry out the wishes of the late Harry Fulmer, donor of the memorial, to create and inviting atmosphere surrounded by spacious lines and materials reflecting the Big Horn Mountain country. It was Fulmer's request that the walls adjoining the main entrance be constructed of native stone and the entrance lobby floor paved with flagstone. There will be a stone fireplace in the reading room. THE LEVEL LOT has already been landscaped with mature cedar, spruce and fruit trees.

All public areas will be carpeted, air-conditioned and accessible for the physically handicapped. There will even be a wheelchair at the Alger entrance in the event a transfer is needed.

BLM appeals spraying ruling rights for the ranch on 25 per cent of its remaining federal lands in the Lander district. CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) -Dan Baker, Wyoming Bureau of Land Management director, ing privileges in the horse heaven pasture and a two-year suspension of grazing UW doesn't expect student rush Eight will battle for Congress said Wednesday the agency's notice of appeal of a suspended sentence for illeal spraying of sagebrush on public lands has been filed with the Interior Department Board of Land Appeals in Washington.

if Baker said the BLM now must file briefs in the appeal through the regional Interior Department solicitor in Denver within 30 days. The agency is appealing a June 8 decision by hearing examiner I. K. Luoma suspending sentence for the Diamond Ring Ranch owned by rancher Van Irvine of Casper. Luoma found the ranch guilty of illegal spraying of sagebrush on 3,600 acres of public lands.

He recommended that the ranch's grazing privileges be denied for three years, but then suspended the denial until the ranch is found guilty of committing a similar violation. Baker said earlier the main issue being challenged is the suspension of sentence until another violation is committed. The BLM had requested a three-year suspension of graz change. He said 10 years ago parents demanded girls live on campus, but that no longer is the case. He said if the present situation continues there would be no need for new dormitory space at Laramie for some time.

Registrar Arlan Grover said a leveling off of enrollment was felt to be an advantage in that it gave the school time to develop improved academic programs without having to cope with a glut of students. Until last year, freshmen could get out of living in dormitories if they had their parents' permission to live off campus. This option was dropped in 1971 and Davis said it partially was to insure that dormitory spaces would be filled as much as ing units and some 40-45 units are vacant this summer session. A spokesman said plenty of newer, bigger units are available off campus at this time and this has cut into rentals from the university. It's expected units for married couples also will be available right up to registration time.

Dana Davis, director of the Division of Auxiliary Enterprises, said there is no short term financial problems in paying off revenue bonds which financed the housing units. But he said if the trend was to continue for an indefinite period there might be financial repercussions. He said it was clear enrollment had not kept pace with expectations of 10 years ago. Another factor was a social Statistician Archie Johnson said more students are attending community colleges and transferring to Laramie in their junior years. This reduces the size of incoming freshmen classes.

Freshmen are required to live in dormitories their first year at Laramie, whereas other students are not. There will be 3,020 dormitory spaces available for students this fall compared with about 3,400 spaces in the fall of 1971. The units lost were in Ross Hall, where three floors were converted to academic space, Housing officials, who report there now are 1,546 applications on hand for domitory rooms, said they still expect to have plenty of space despite the loss of 270 units in Ross Hall.

(AP) -University of Wyoming officials are anticipating no surge of new students this fall and they foresee the possibility of vacancies in dormitory and married student housing.

Registration officials are expecting a fall enrollment of about 8,700 students about 150 above the figure of one year ago. Housing officials say they expect there will be plenty of space for students in dormitories. In addition, there are vacancies in married student units for the first time in years. The leveling off of enrollment has been attributed to several possibilities, including Wyoming's small population growth plus higher enrollments in community colleges. his foes are Mike Vinich of Hudson and three other Casper men Doyle Henry, William Fritchell and Patrick Shanklin.

Vinich was the 1970 Democratic nominee for state auditor but the other three are new to politics. A fifth man, I. Wayne Kinney of Laramie, had announced earlier for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate but never filed. Democratic Congressman Teno Roncalio technically had opposition from 10-time candidate George Posvar.

But an attorney general's ruling was being awaited on whether Posvar, who resides in Washington, D.C., was eligible for a spot on the ballot. His residency never has been questioned until this year although he has run for the same post nine previous elections without success. CHEYENNE, Wyo.

House of Representatives. There also will be a four-man race for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate but three of these candidates are making their first bids for statewide office and aren't known well within the party.
