"Angola: Victory of Hope" shows the Angolan people's history, struggle and victory, extending from the so-called "Portuguese discovery''- to the Second War of Liberation. "South Africa: The. White Laager" traces the history of Afrikaaner nationalism and relates it to the development df apartheid and the current explosive political situation in South Africa. The laager, a circle of covered wagons forming an armed camp surrounded by enemies, is a central psychological concept for the Afri-kaaners, the white South African descendants of the original Dutch settlers.

Union radio gets a stronger voice By Jack Kennedy Union College radio station KUCV has begun the first community-wide drive in its 10-year history to expand Its operations and become "fine arts radio" for Lincoln and a 50mile listening area. First major gift to the campaign, said station manager Eric Graham, is a transmitter donated by KFOR and valued at $20,000.

Richard W. Chapin, KFOR general manager, has been highly supportive of the Seventh-day Adventist college's public radio improvements, Graham said. A new programming concept, already underway, will take a broad spectrum of programs about the arts and community activities to the "man in the street," Graham said. Chapin has been interested, Graham said, since the two met at a legislative hearing on public radio. More funds will enable the station to add monitors, remote facilities, a new console, and other equipment A new tower will be mounted on the Union administration building.

college hopes to raise $100,000. Governor J. J. Exon, Mayor Helen Boosalis and University of Nebraska President Ronald Roskens support the station expansion, Graham added. So do several art, music and community groups, he said.

The Federal Communications Commission is expected to grant a construction permit in November. Work will then begin on the improvements and a power increase from ten watts to 20,000 watts. Remodeling of KUCV studios, funded by an earlier gift from a Union alumnus, is nearly complete in a former city library on the campusThe power boost is expected to be completed by January. KUCV listeners will notice several changes, Graham said. The station will expand its "fine arts" format, stressing classical music and public service programs.

KUCV has talked to National Public Radio officials about joining the network and carrying such programs as "All Things Considered," the daily NPR public affairs program. Hours will be extended. This week KUCV began a 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. "Daybreak" program.

It is on the air also from 4 p.m. to midnight daily, 7 a.m. to midnight on Saturday and 1 p.m. to midnight on Sunday. Eventually it will broadcast 18 hours a day, Graham said.

"We will become a non-commercial alternative choice in radio," Graham said, with programming based on what listeners want, not a narrow definition of "fine arts." Live, remote music broadcasts are possible, he said, and he doesn't have an elitist concept of the arts. Religious programming on the station will continue, Graham said, "where we think it adds a dimension to the arts." The Nebraska Arts Council and Lincoln Symphony have shown interest in the station's new voice, said Mike Fellows of the Union staff. Solicitation of individuals and firms, he said, will stress the new KUCV will be a community station, not just a campus outlet. Union provides "$22,000 a year for KUCV, Fellows said, plus an estimated $15,000 for labor and utilities. Graham, the first full-time manager of the station, came to Union in January.

Natural goodness More and more natural foods are sprouting up in Lincoln restaurants. Not only are there more natural food restaurants, there are more restaurants including natural foods on their menus. Natural foods, like beauty, tend to be in the eye of the beholder. For the sake of discussion, however, natural foods can be defined as unrefined, unprocessed, whole foods without preservatives. They may or may not be vegetarian.

Many restaurants which serve meat have added natural foods to their menus. Chesterfield, Bottsfey Potts, in the Gunney's Complex, for instance, has a new menu which includes a Charlie Tuna's Natural Salad (tuna-stuffed tomato with greens, sprouts, mushrooms, olives and sunflower seeds) and a Natural Salad which includes the same ingredients sans tuna. Tico's, 317 S. 17th St. also has added a natural foods portion to their Mexican menu.

K's Restaurant, 1275 S. Cotner also has natural foods as well as pancakes and steaks. A good place to sample natural and vegetarian foods is the Open Harvest Food Cooperative Snack Bar at 2637 Randolph St. Because it is part of the Open Harvest Food Cooperative, it is one of the few eating places in town which has been able to continue to operate while breaking even rather than showing a profit. Debra Walker, the new manager, said prices have been raised menu items range from 10 cents to $1.15 in the hope the snack bar will be able to expand its present seating capacity of 15.

She describes the decor as "unpretentious." Patrons seat themselves and often figure their own check is a cooperative and they're trying to help out," she said. The most popular and most expensive item is the Open Harvest Avacado Cheesie, an open-faced sandwich concocted of mayonnaise, avocado, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, herbs and topped with broiled cheese and sprouts. Soup and casserole daily specials arc myriad but the cheese potato soup and California quiche, which includes zucchini, spinach, onions and mushrooms seem to sell particularly weU, Ms. Walker said, and the honey, yogurt and cream cheese cheesecake is a favorite ending to the meals. Fruit and green salads, other vegetarian sandwiches, fruit juices and blender drinks also are on the menu.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Friday, 5-8 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Saturday. Further freshness Other restaurants with vegetarian food are Alice's, 4013 S.

48th St. and 211 N. 70th and Recipes for Life at Normal Boulevard and South 40th Street. A new vegetarian restaurant, The Glass Onion, will open in mid-October at 235 N. 11th in quarters which formerly housed the Palms Cafe.

Former Open Harvest Cooperative managers Mark Vasina and Terri Bonebright say the restaurant will serve "freshly prepared natural foods" with a sandwich counter in front and more formal seating in back. They plan to have live music at night.
