"For our economic survival, we can't lower our power," said Pat Watkins, a member of the New Wave board of directors. "We are a listener-supported station. We provide services that are really important to rural audiences. Their support is crucial to our operation." Any cutback would mean losing that audience, she said. Several projects at the university have been delayed by the interference but none have been scrapped, said Blount.

Some departments have set up protective shielding to intercept the bothersome radio waves transmitted by the 24-hour-a-day station. In addition to research projects, school officials said the radio waves also are causing the computer in the university library's circulation department to malfunction. The corporation plans to move the radio tower from its current site, Ms. Watkins said. Meantime, New Wave has asked the Federal Communications Commission to allow it to increase the signal strength of a television transmitter it also owns in Columbia.

University officials, saying it would further hamper university research, have asked the FCC to deny the increase. COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) An associate professor of chemistry at the University of Missouri contends that two years worth of data gathered for a cancer research project is worthless because of damage caused by waves from a nearby radio station. Richard Loeppky, associate professor of chemistry, asserted that radio waves from station KOPN have bombarded his laboratory, causing sensitive electronic equipment to act erratically. Research data on the $440,000 project is so -distorted, Loeppky said, that samples of the research must be sent to a lab in Texas.

The incident is not an isolated one, say university officials, who have asked the Federal Communications Commission to lower the wattage of the radio station. The station's tower is only two blocks from the university campus. University officials say more than $1 million worth of research financed mainly by federal and state grants has been hindered since the station increased its output from 10 watts to 40,000 watts in 1975. "We're wasting the taxpayer's money," Loeppky said. "We just purchased $17,000 worth of equipment that can't be used because of the radio waves." Graduate Dean Don Blount said the school first told the station about the problem and; when that proved unproductive, appealed to the FCC as a last resort.
