A $133,331 contract grant awarded to Northern Arizona University by the National Telecommunication and Information Administration will enable KNAU-FM on campus to purchase equipment to establish the station as a full-power public radio station. The grant was approved Saturday in Tucson by the Arizona Board of Regents, KNAU's license holder. Project funds are on a three-to-one federal matching basis, with the total cost of the project being $177,775. In August, KNAU-FM was awarded an $80,000 radio expansion grant by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). That grant will be used for program development and acquisition, promotion and daily operation of the station.

The combination of both grants will enable KNAU-FM to bring public radio to one of the few geographical areas in the United States that is unserved by pubhc broadcasting. according to station manager Russ Hamnett. "We are very excited about receiving these grants, as this will help us to make KNAU radio one of the best radio stations in the system, said Hamnett. Currently, the 16-watt station broadcasts 18 hours a day, 11 months of the year. With the increase in power and requirements of the CPB, the new KNAU-FM will broadcast 18 hours a day, 365 days of the year.

At the present time, equipment is being purchased and new studios designed to ensure CPB that the station will be on the air by February 1983. In the next few months, the promotional staff will start bringing KNAU-FM out in the open so the residents of Northern Arizona will be able to learn firsthand what public radio is all about, said Hamnett. More information about KNAU may be obtained by calling either Hamnett or Tmk Irvin, director of promotion and development, 523-2289. NAACP Wants to Prosecute Colleges That Discriminate NEW YORK (AP) The NAACP said Monday it would ask the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the civil rights group to replace the Justice Department in prosecuting two private schools that practice racial discrimination and are seeking tax-exempt status.

On Friday, the Reagan administration said it would no longer deny tax-exempt status to private schools, colleges and other non-profit institutions that practice such discrimination.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A police officer who suffered a stroke after standing in front of the golden Reversing policy, the Justice Department said it was up to Congress, not the Internal Revenue Service, to enforce civil rights laws. Word of the change in policy came when Justice Department lawyers representing the IRS told the Supreme Court the agency was willing to concede pending cases against two schools, Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., and the Goldsboro Christian Schools in Goldsboro, N.C., which are seeking tax-exempt status. Bob Jones University forbids interracial dating and marriage and Goldsboro bars blacks from enrolling.

Both base their policies on religious beliefs. Benjamin Hooks, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, told a news conference that his organization would not "permit the raiding of the federal tax coffers by those who would subsidize segregation, He said the civil rights group planned to file papers before the Supreme Court within the week requesting that Justice Department employees be disqualified from further involvement in the cases and that the NAACP general counsel be allowed to continue as a "private attorney general just for these cases. He also said the group would seek to enjoin the IRS from granting tax-exempt status to the schools until the Supreme Court rules on their motion. Deputy City Attorney Dan Maguire, who represents the city in the case, described the curse argument as cil on Mexican-American Affairs, look on. The potluck will be Jan.

Lt. George E. LaBrash, 56, who suffered the stroke Sept. 23, 1979, while guarding the mask on display in San Francisco, raised the curse question in a supplement to his lawsuit seeking $18,400 in disability pay for eight months of recuperation. Egyptians believed in a curse, pronounced by Osiris, god of the dead, on all who should disturb the dead, LaBrashs attorney and fellow policeman, Michael Hebei, wrote in the supplement.

Was he (LaBrash) another victim of the curse? Hebei said he spent a month on research, reading more than 25 books. He said some of the research was guided by archaeologists and Egyptologists at the University of California, Berkeley. But he said they dont give much credence to the curse theory.

Robert Hemphill an official of the Tennessee Valley Authority, said this requirement was vitally needed to protect consumers. He said that 60 percent to 70 percent of the installations of solar water heaters failed in the TVA checks.

Eliminate a requirement that states provide homeowners with lists of qualified contractors and instead allow the utilities to provide such lists. Consumers said utilities would steer homeowners to their own companies offering various home-improvement services, shutting out small businesses doing the same work. Abolish requirements that the utilities present their list of recommendations in person. WASHINGTON (AP) An ambitious government program to curb energy use by requiring utilities to conduct low-cost residential energy audits is in danger of being sunk by the Reagan administration, consumer groups say. The groups are attacking plans to scale back rules governing the program, which affects the country's 60 million homes, saying the changes will hurt the programs effectiveness.

But the Energy Department said the changes are in line with the Reagan administrations belief that government should get out of the energy business, leaving such efforts to private enterprise. Under a law passed in 1978, electric and natural gas utilities are required to offer their residential customers low-cost audits showing how such things as extra insulation, storm windows and weatherstripping can cut down on utility bills. Consumer groups were particularly upset with proposals that would: Do away with training requirements for the auditors and give states the power to set standards for energy conservation materials. Abolish requirements that utilities perform spot checks to ensure that contractors installing insulation taxed licensed lestncted or wherever prohibited by la Otter good only in SA and militaiy commissanes and exchanges RETAILER As our agent you may accept this coupon trom retail customers only when redeemed on the special product(s) Quaker unit reimbuise you for the face value of this coupon plus It for handling Any other use may constitute fraud Adequate prat of purchase must be submitted upon tequest Customer pays any tai This coupon is void it transferred assigned, reproduced Cash value 001 Only retailers and Quaker authonred cleanng purchase of specified pmductlsl Any other use may void all coupons submitted foi redemption and such coupons may be houses send to The Quaker Oats Company 815 Commerce Dove Oak Brook II 80521 TERMS Of 0FTER Redeemable only on the -TV-1--;" Real lemon juke gives new Sunlight extra cleaning power.
