K VLU to begin arts series
Programs capture national spectrum
In a dramatic display of live transcon-
tinental performances, interviews and arts
news coverage, National Public Radio laun-
ches “The Sunday Show” beginning this
Sunday to celebrate the arts.
The weekly program is America’s only
national radio showcase for the arts, and it
will be heard live and in stereo from 1 p.m.
to 4 p.m. each Sunday on NPR member sta-
tion KVLU-FM (91.3).
In its premiere program, “The Sunday
Show” will display a broad spectrum of
music, from a visit to The Dallas Opera to a
“nationwide recital hall,” with musicians
from four American cities heard live via
satellite. Included will be performaces by
Denver’s Amphion String Quartet, the
Boston Museum Trio, Cincinnati’s duo-
piano team of Eugene and Elizabeth
Pridinoff, and the Seattle Brass Ensemble.
“The fact that we will be presenting these
four ensembles in live performances, for
radio only, from four very differenct set-
tings in the country, demonstrates the pro-
mise that ‘The Sunday Show’ holds for
public radio listeners,” says John Bos,
director of NPR’s arts and performances
programming department.
Serving as the listener’s guide to this and
future musical excursions on the program
will be David Ossman, executive producer
for “The Sunday Show.” Ossman is a
veteran broadcaster, radio actor and
writer-performer for The Firesign Theatre.
The long hours and hard work that go ipto
the creation of a great performance will be
profiled regularly on “The Sunday Show.”
In the debut program, listeners are invited
behind the footlights as The Dallas Opera
prepares a major revival of Verdi’s “Er-
nani.”
Says Ossman, “The rarely-performed
‘Emani’ offers an opera company the uni-
que opportunity to create a work for an au-
dience without any preconceived ideas of
how it should be performed. Our behind-the-
scenes visit to The Dallas Opera is a
fascinating glimpse into that creative pro-
cess.”
No less fascinating is the creation of a
great play. Arts and humanities reporter
Connie Goldman will travel to Louisville,
Ky., to cover one of theatre’s most highly
anticipated events—the Humana Festival of
New American Plays. This year, the
festival will present nine world premieres
by some of today’s finest young
playwrights.
Finally, “The Sunday Show” will in-
troduce listeners to a rare and intricate art
form called the “Stedman Caters”—a
method of bell-ringing which requires 10
“ringers” and more than 5,000 changes or
combinations of peals. Portions of the full
peal will be featured live from the
Washington National Cathedral bell tower
on Easter.
‘ The Sunday Show’ will capture the
scope and vitality of the arts in America to-
day.” says Ossman. “We hope our first pro-
gram will introduce listeners to enduring
works and impressive new talents, as well
as provide a unique way of listening to the
radio each and every Sunday.”
Future programs will include a festive
Fourth of July with John Philip Sousa com-
positions, and a Halloween broadcast of a
new thriller written especially for radio and
stereo earphones. Conductor Leopold
Stokowski’s centenary and the Bicentennial
commemoration of Dutch-American
diplomatic relations, with coverage of
events both in the U.S. and the Netherlands,
are also saluted in future programs.
Allan Longacre, executive director of the
Texas Commission on the Arts and a past
visitor to the Golden Triangle, is a member
of the national arts advisory committee for
“The Sunday Show,” one of only four state
arts agency directors serving on the panel.
In a letter sent last week to all NPR
member stations in the state, Longacre en-
dorsed the program’s concept and the new
opportunity for arts activities in Texas to
receive national recognition.
“I hope (you) will exercise every effort to
participate in the creation of feature pro-
grams for presentation on “The Sunday
Show.” ... The .. . greater and more inten-
sive amounts of national coverage than ever
before should show the people in Texas that
the arts are a worthy topic. Such attention
should encourage Texans to look upon the
arts as an issue central to life for all people
and not on the periphery of life for just a
chosen few.”
Assisting executive producer Ossman is
producer Deborah Lamberton at NPR
studios in Washington, with associate pro-
ducers Ev Grimes, Larson Hoel, Judi Moore
Smith and Rosemary Tobin, who also
serves as director.

KVLU is available by calling the station at
838-8164. The station is a broadcast service
of Lamar.
Thefts highlight week’s police report
Among offenses reported to the campus
police, thefts and criminal mischief headed
the list during the period of March 22
through March 31, Gene Carpenter, chief of
University Police, said Wednesday.
A cassette recorder valued at $200 was
reported stolen from the owner’s room in
Plummer Hall. The owner of the recorder
could not remember whether his door had
been left locked or unlocked according to
police reports.
The recorder was taken sometime bet-
ween 10 p.m., March 27, and 12:30 p.m.,
March 28.
Also, a coin operated machine from
Tom’s Food Service was reported stolen
from the Combs-Morris lounge. Three
males of high school age were reported in
the lounge 10 minutes prior to the time the
incident occured, according to the offense
report.
Damage valued at $250 to a police vehicle
was also reported March 25. The officer
returned to the vehicle, in Parking Lot 14
and found that a drinking glass had been
broken on the hood. Several small chips on
the left side of the windshield and dents on
the top of the left front fender were also
discovered. The instrument used to make
the dents is unknown.
A student reported his car battery taken
on March 22, sometime between 11 p.m. and
1:55 p.m. the following day. The report
stated that the hood of the vehicle had been
raised and the battery removed.
A car having $200 worth of damage done
by a sharp instrument was also reported.
Scratches were found on the passenger side
on March 25, and scratches on the front door
of the driver’s side were reported found on
March 29.
Survey-
Continued from page 1
—To discover career interests (11):
38.7; 40.8; up 2.1 percent.
—To learn skills that will enrich one’s
daily life or make one a more com-
plete person (7): 49.3; 50.3; up 1.0 per-
cent.
—To increase one’s participation in
cultural and social events (14): 32.3;
32.3; no change.
—To improve one’s leadership skills
(10): 47.5; 44.1; down 3.4 percent.
—To improve one’s knowledge,
technical skills and competencies for
one’s job or career (3): 62.6; 58.6;
down 4.0 percent.
—To formulate long-term career
plans and goals (4): 52.0; 44.9; down
7.1 percent.
—To increase one’s chance for a raise
or promotion (9): down 15.9 percent.
Speaking on the decreases in
percentages of students currently
achieving collegiate goals, Forristal-
Brown said in the report: “The
analysis . . . suggests that some
students are dissatisfied with their
present level of achievement in this
area.
“That is, some of our graduating
seniors and program completers are
not satisfied that their acquired skills,
knowledges, understandings and
competencies are adequate to meet
job or career needs.
“For example, our students feel
that the goal of increasing the chance
for a raise or promotion is being the
least achieved of all 16 goals at this
time.”
Among general information given
in the report, approximately 51.6 per-
cent of graduating seniors or pro-
gram completers had attended
Lamar for four or more years, 66.5
percent had earned all course credit
at Lamar and 87.2 percent had enroll-
ed for 12 or more hours each
semester.
In addition, 22 services commonly
provided by colleges were evaluated
by the students surveyed. Nine of
these were reported as having at least
40 percent of those surveyed satisfied
with their services.
They are: library—80.1 percent;
admissions—80.0; bookstore—73.8;
registration—71.6; academic advis-
ing—61.4; health services—53.0;
parking—48.9; campus
security—45.6; and recreation and
athletic programs—44.7.
Administration of the questionnaire
will be continued, Forristal-Brown
said, and summary reports willj be
released yearly.
The Division of Student Affairs, in
cooperation with the National Center
for Higher Education Management
Systems and the College Board,
began administering the experimen-
tal questionnaire in fall 1977 to
students whose completion of an
associate, baccalaureate or graduate
degree program was eminent (within
four weeks of graduation).
The questionnaire was revised for
fall 1979, Forristal-Brown said, and
data for the 1977 and 1978 academic
semesters, while available, cannot be
compared with data obtained since
then because of significant dif-
ferences in the wording of the ques-
tions and the focus on the content.
Nielsen ‘having fun’in series
NEW YORK (UPI)—For years, stately and hand-
some with his firm jaw and distinguished silver hair,
Leslie Nielsen has portrayed the ultimate father
figure with a strong, serious personna that absolutely
cracks him up.
“I’ve seen some of my past work where I have been
involved in crisis-drama of deep, profound gravity,”
he said during a break in the taping of “Murder
Among Friends,” his current show for Home Box Of-
fice.
“I’ve seen myself profound and grave and I find
myself breaking up. I didn’t realize how funny I was
being ... I watch a lot of heavy episodic drama and
it’s so filled with profound, empty seriousness.”
Then came “Airplane”—a zany, irreverent spoof
of every heavy “Airport” movie ever made, and out
of “Airplane” came “Police Squad.” As a result, life
may never be the same for the ultimate father figure,
and nothing could delight him more.
Nielsen is an actor who almost never is out of work,
but he said he hasn’t had so much fun in years as he is
having as Detective Lt. Frank Drebin on ABC’s late-
season limited series—a cop-show parody he
describes as an exercise in “gentle insanity.”
Sight gags and straight-faced one-liners come so
hot and heavy in “Police Squad” that viewers—their
attention spans shrunken by years of mindless sit-
com dialogue—struggle under a constant double-take
syndrome.
Every show opens with a guest star who hangs
around just long enough to get himself murdered,
thus setting up the plot for the evening’s madness.
Thereafter, anything can happen, and usually does.
“It’s the kind of show you have to pay attention to,”
Nielsen said. “You have to look for what’s coming up
next—like that third hand on the steering wheel. We
really are trained, in watching TV, not to pay that
much attention.”
“Police Squad” has held an audience share in the
20s—a fair rating on the Nielsen scale—ever since its
unheralded premiere last month. Nielsen, who is no
relation, by blood or marriage, to the all-powerful
rating service, said he hopes ABC will buy it as a
regular series next fall.
“It was very gutsy for them to try “Police Squad”
because we did not do a pilot,”' he said. “I think it’s
funny to an awful lot of people and if they just leave it
alone, it will find its own level.”
