BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) In a rare display of Moslem and Christian cooperation, Amin Gemayel was elected president today. He replaces his younger brother whose assassination a week ago unleashed an Israeli drive into west Beirut and the slaughter of hundreds of Moslem refugees. Parliament elected the 39-year-old lawyer by a 77-0 vote, with three blank ballots, to succeed incumbent President Elias Sarkis next Thursday.

Eighty of the 92 surviving of Parliament showed up for the election at the army's military academy in suburban Fayyadieh, three miles east of Beirut.

The school corporation owns the license of the public broadcasting station.

There isn't enough money now to meet Friday's payroll. The federal government is expected to give $232,930 through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The first payment isn't expected until the first week in November. The second payment will come in March. Station Manager Louis Iaconetti said the grant is about $42,000 less than the station got last year.

Board Member Michael Klausman, a long-time opponent of WCAE, voted against the measure. He said the station constantly borrows money from the school corporation and creates a hardship in the general fund balance. Klausman blamed "bad management" for the station's financial woes. He said Iaconetti's proposed 1983 budget was misleading and didn't reflect income and debts accurately. Iaconetti disagreed.

"That is strictly Klausman's opinion," he said. Iaconetti said the sagging economy has hurt public broadcasting stations nationwide, and WCAE is no exception. To help make ends meet, he said the station reduced its broadcasting hours in May and eliminated staff. Iaconetti said with so many people in the Calumet Region out of work, public donations have fallen drastically.

Rasco has about 42 months remaining on his original 1971 federal conviction for forgery and possession of stolen stock certificates, according to a federal correctional official.
