Rescue effort for NPR to cut KANU grant
By PAUL SEVART Staff Reporter
National Public Radio has weathered a summer financial crisis, but its member stations will soon be affected by the loan arranged to save the organization from bankruptcy, the director of KANI-FM said Friday.
A $9.1 million loan was secured in July from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for NPR to pay off a budget deficit, said the director, Howard Hill. The CPB forgave $600,000 of that loan, but the $8.5 million remaining must be paid over three years.
Hill said the 270 or so member stations now must contribute $1.6 million a year for three years to secure the loan; KANU's share in fiscal 1984 is $13,458, which will be deducted from the community service grant that the station will receive Oct. 1, when the federal fiscal year begins.
THE ANNUAL community service
grant, which is given by the CPB to member stations, has been falling for years, he said. KANU's grant will drop from $122,979 in fiscal 1983 to about $112,000 in fiscal 1984. The debt to the CPB, reduced funding, inflation and an increase in the number of stations have all helped reduce the grants.
"There's no room in that grant for anything but people costs - salaries and fringe benefits," Hill said. "We had always planned to keep a little head room."
The head room, he said, was available in case it was needed for an unexpected opportunity or expense. Although he expects no great trouble for the coming fiscal year, later years are uncertain.
The full-time salaries at KANU are paid by the grant rather, than by contributions or other non-federal money, Hill said, and eventuallystation staffing is granted to guarantee that it can pay all the full-time employees it now has.
all-time employees it now
"WE'RE NOT FAT in terms of
staff," he said. "We don't want to cut the quantity of our service. But more than that, we don't want to cut the quality. This is recognized as one of the best public radio stations in the country."
The station will adjust to the lower grant by seeking more private support and by implementing cost-cutting measures. Hill asked the KANU staff to come up with ideas to save money, and the results are being analyzed. Even little things help — the office coffee machine was replaced by a less costly system, Hill said.
system, Hill said.
After the financial crisis of the summer, Hill said, NPR is back on track.
track.
"If this loan is not paid off well before its due date." Hill said, "I'll be surprised.
"The people who said NPR would go belly-up didn't understand the essential strength of the system — the 270 stations. They are run by extremely capable people who are unusually
dedicated to public radio, as people get dedicated to causes."
ONE CAUSE that Hill and the KANU staff have been fighting is to replace the transmission tower, which was sabotaged Dec. 11, 1982 Hill said Friday that the project had been beset by delays among the contractors who were building the tower but that he expected to hear soon from RCA in Camden, N.J., on a date for completion of the antenna.
The tower, constructed by a Harrison, Ark, company, is essentially finished. But the line that runs from the ground up the length of the tower to the antenna is also behind schedule.
"It has been very frustrating, and I haven't really vented my frustration publicly," he said. "If RCA has been successful in stepping up the delivery date to a reasonable time, I'll be more or less satisfied. If not, I'll have something more to say."
Pope attacks U.S. bishops on teaching of doctrine
By United Press International
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II told U.S. bishops yesterday that they had failed to persuade U.S. Roman Catholics to obey church teaching on sex, divorce and birth control and to defend the ban on women in the priesthood.
In one of his most comprehensive statements about the American church, John Paul told the 21 bishops visiting him in his summer residence at Castel Gandolo, near Rome, that they must admit their failures for the good of the church.
"Precisely because he cannot renounce the preaching of the cross, the bishop will be called upon over and over again to accept criticism and admit
failure in obtaining a consensus of doctrine acceptable to everyone," John Paul said.
Padi said.
He said bishops must try harder to enforce church teachings on controversial issues such as bans on artificial birth control, abortion, premarital sex and homosexual activity.
THE COMPASSIONATE bishop proclaims the indissolubility of marriage, the compassionate bishop will mould the incompatibility of premarital sex and homosexual activity with God's plan for human love," said John Paul, reading from a nine-page text written in English.
written in length. The moral compassion he will proclaim the doctrine of 'Humanae Vitae', not passing over in silence the unpopular truth that artificial birth
control is against God's law," the pope said.
Humanae Vitae" is the late Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical that banned artificial birth control.
John Paul was particularly firm about the church's ban on women priests.
He told the U.S. bishops they must "oppose any and all discrimination of women by reason of sex," but denied that most priests was a form of discrimination
A HISHOP, said the pope, must "enandeor to explain as cogently as he can that the church's teaching on the exclusion of women from priestly ordination is extraneous to the issue of discrimination and that it is linked rather to Christ's own design for his priesthood."
"The bishop must give proof of his pastoral ability and leadership by withdrawing all support from individuals or groups who in the name of progress, justice, compassion or for any other alleged reason promote the ordination of women to the priesthood," he said.
When the pope visited Washington in 1979, Mother Teresa Kane, the superior of the Sisters of Mercy, told him publicly that the ban on women priests caused many nuns to feel themselves second-class citizens within the class.
John Paul said efforts by individuals or groups to promote women's entry into the priesthood "are destined to produce not only failure but also acute personal frustration."
