S. Oregon leaders urge calm in public radio battle reported Thursday. Jefferson Public Radio is a vast network of stations, some owned by Southern Oregon University and others by the Jefferson Public Radio Foundation. It broadcasts from the basement of a university building in Ashland. An audit has warned that the foundation's non-radio pro- jects, such as the restoration of an old theater and construc- tion of a new headquarters in Medford, could overextend Jefferson Public Radio, putting the university at risk finan- cially for its debts. The foundation's board meets Friday to decide whether to accept a proposed settlement between the school and the foundation, which would separate the radio stations from the foundation. Jefferson Public Radio is heard from Roseburg, Ore., to Mendocino. The foundation has restored the Cascade The- atre in Redding as a cultural center.
