He also said he sees fund raising as a larger his job than did Fullmer is a native of Minnesota and a graduate of Hamline He was chosen and funded by the National' Endowment for the Arts about a year and a half ago to set up a consortium of five states to see how arts resources could be passed around and used from, state; to state.

He acknowledged the fact that the company has been shopping for a home, including recent talks with Augsburg College about the possibility of using a ptoposed new auditorium. Fullmer also said he'd like to increase touring and he said he saw a changing opera scene on the horizon which might mean an expanded season for the company.

He wouldn't be specific, but it is known that the Metropolitan Opera is going to cut its season from 52 to 42 weeks and that their national tour might be in trouble. "The Met plays to about 35,000 people a year in Minneapolis," Fullmer said. "It would be great If we could get 17,000 of those to listen to us." He also expressed satisfaction in the jump in season tickets this year, from just over 100 to about 900, and he said he was also "anxious to look at in-house problems like singers' salaries to make sure they're being well paid. After all, I'm a singer myself and I'll be fighting from both sides of the fence." If the company does expand, he said, the expansion might be into more classic works, like more Mozart or even earlier operas, "though this will Plymouth voters reelect Hilde Al Hilde Jr. was reelected mayor of Plymouth Tuesday and Howard L.

Fullmer said he sees two immediate needs for the company. The first is to "give us much more local exposure. John Ludwig took the company to the edge of. a big growth peri- Charles Fullmer od. Now we must make it known locally, especially among the opera-going public.

The functionaries over there dropped their telephone talk and took up with a mishmash. Then they dropped WLOL FM's long-standing classical format. Staff, advertisers and listeners left in a large group. While awaiting the newer ratings later this month, rWLOL appears well on its way to extrication.

The AM side now is a smoother mixture of up-tempo, middle-of-the-road, non-rock sounds and its Los Angeles program consultant, Graham Richards, the one-time flagpole sitter from Denver who later worked as programmer for the Storz radio group, has started a feature that might be referred to as non-radio. It is Horoscope Line, running 12 hours a day, one hour to a sign. But each day the sequence rotates so that you have to listen to the station to locate your appropriate hour and then call into the automated message. Astrologer David Rusoff prepares them daily and they are recorded in advance by a station announcer, (It also is producing extra profit: Advertisers buy time on the tapes for mini-messages.) Last week the dozen usually-jammed phone lines counted 22,477 callers at a rate of about 300 an hour. Since it started Oct.

1, the number of calls has reached 200,000. WLOL's Sports Line, which is underwritten by a whiskey company, runs 24 hours a day, is updated four times daily, and has collected between 4,000 and 5,000 calls a week. The station, encouraged, is planning on two other "lines." On FM, WLOL has gone the way of taped-recorded beautiful music. "Foreground, not background music," the managers tell us. But about the only discernible difference from the other soft-music stations is a little music-box sound between selections.

When it killed classical, WLOL lost virtually all of its sponsors. But in the past two months FM has attained about a third of its former sales total. For the purposes of good will (and perhaps a tax writeoff), WLOL-FM gave KUOM, the University of Minnesota's station, 750 classic monaurals on a no-cost loan basis. Then the station donated outright something like 3,000 stereo albums to KSJN-FM public radio. InCaddition to those contributions, Ray Ose, who was program director for WLOL-FM and then departed with the classical format, took up with KSJN and now runs some of his old albums on KSJN's new "Music Through trie Night" programs at 1 a.m.' Sundays through KKSDr nuru (BUDS pSfflGrD a DSN S8 We'll show you how to start your own business or how to work your way up in someone else's!

Defense attorney William Kunstler and three of the Chicago 7 defendants were convicted Tuesday of contempt during their riot-conspiracy trial four years ago. Defense attorney Leonard I.

Weinglass and Chicago 7 defendants Thomas C. Hayden and Rennard (Rennie) Davis were acquitted. Convicted with Kunstler were David T. Dellinger, Abbott (Abbie) Hoffman and Jerry C. Rubin.

They face a maximum six-month jail term. U.S. District Judge Edward T. Gignoux, who handed down the convictions in the trial, without jury, set sentencing for Thursday. Kunstler told reporters he would appeal, saying the contempt trial was "further evidence of government oppression of the movement bar (activist attorneys).

U.S. Attorney James Thompson denied that the Justice Department was out to get any lawyer. "The reason we insisted on a retrial was not to vindicate a judge, not to vindicate the prosecution, but to vindicate a rule of law that maintains the integrity of the courtroom," he said. Dellinger and Kunstler were convicted on seven specific charges; Rubin and Hoffman were convicted of two. At the end of the 42-month conspiracy trial in February 1970, Judge Julius Hoffman cited the seven defendants and their lawyers for 175 contempt violations.

He imposed prison sentence ranging from two months to four years. A federal appeals court reversed the sentences, deleted a number of citations and returned the case to the district court for trial. The Justice Department presented 52 counts to Judge Gignoux. He dropped 26 counts, including all those against the two remaining Chicago 7 defendants, Lee Wei-ner and John R. Froines, during the course of the contempt trial that began Oct.

29. Kunstler was convicted for what Judge Gignoux termed "a vicious personal attack" on the court. He cited an instance when Kunstler told Judge Hoffman that a ruling was "the most outrageous Jhing I've ever heard in a courtroom I'm disgraced to be here." Kunstler was also convicted for disobeying Judge Hoffman's order not to inform the jury that a witness hadn't been allowed to testify. Rubin and Hoffman were c6nvicted for wearing judicial robes adorned with a Star of David into the courtroom and later stepping on the robes. Judge Gignoux, who came from Portland, Maine, to try the case, said they were guilty of "outrageous misbehavior." Dellinger was convicted for calling Judge Hoffman "dishonest," "a liar," and "absolutely irresponsible," among other epithets.

Judge Gignoux ruled Del-linger in contempt for failing to halt his interruptions after being warned. In dismissing four counts against Kunstler and one against Weinglass, the judge noted the appeals court ruled a lawyer should be given wide latitude to argue his case. Weinglass "approached the brink but did not cross the line," he said. Dellinger, Davis, Hoffman, Rubin and Hayden were convicted in February 1970 of crossing state lines to incite rioting at the time of the 1968 Democratic national convention in Chicago. They were acquitted of conspiracy charges.

Froines and Weiner were acquitted of all charges. An appeals court reversed the convictions and the government declined to press the case.
