Dr. M.O. Phelps, known to lus friends
us "Mo," was an interested observer at
the first Blue Sky Concert held in
downtown Athens, Wednesday, April
14th.
First National is co-sponsoring the se
ries of 4 concerts together with the
Athens Downtown Council.
Dr. Phelps exfiressed his feeling about
the concerts:
"My first experience with noon con
certs was with St. Martins in the Field
in London, England. They hold these
concerts religiously every Tuesday at
noon. Well, l just thought that was a
great idea Every time I’m there I go to
the concert there, right in the middle of
the city.
"So, Ive been trying to have our music
department at the Unn<ersity do that
same thing. 7b have noon concerts
each week Maybe in the chapel. When
I heard that the First National Bank
was sponsoring these concerts, I
thought it was a splendid thing! I'm
going to write them a letter and tell
them that. I thought the trombone
choir was a good send off! That was an
excellent choice. For one thing, the
musicians are so good. And the pro-
"From the point of
viezv of community
service, it's the

attention to."
gram itself was quite appropriate. The
choice of music was very good. Some of
it heavy, some light and free. Some
thing for everybody.
“From the point of view of community
service, it's the sort of thing that busi
nesses should give more attention to.
Obviously government is withdraw
ing its support of the arts, so this is a
good thing for business to take on. I feel
that First National has rendered a
service to the entire community."
The Blue Sky Concerts are held Wed
nesdays from noon to one, on College
Square, downtown. In addition to the
UCA Trombone Choir, the concerts
will feature the Classic City Band on
April 21, the bluegrass music of the
North Georgia Revival on April 28,
and the Georgia Brass Quintet on May
5. First National invites you to spend
your Wednesday lunch hours with
music.

Busey said it bothered her
that each program was not
viewed in full, but added that
one member of the group
usually had seen the whole
show when it first aired
“You can get a pretty good
flavor after 10 or 15
minute*," said Kyle Brown,
a journalism student in the
public relations sequence “I
think everybody got a pretty
good representative
listening-to,” Brown’s com
mittee evaluated about 45
radio public service pro
grams, he said
McDougald said he is not
worried that noteworthy pro
grams are being lost in the
chaff the committees
discard
“No program is not
screened by the faculty, and
no program is ever entered
that the board has not had an
opportunity to at least
eyeball," he said.
Board members receive a
bound volume containing the
entry forms for each pro
gram Committee evalua
tions and recommendations
are included, and board
members have nearly a
month for reviewing the
volume before coming to the
University for the final judg
ing, he said
Until recently, Pulitzer
board membership had tend
ed toward what one early
critic called “a self-
perpetuating aristocracy’’ —
no women, no young, no one
outside the upper echelon of
the newspaper industry.
Journalism Dean Scott
Cutlip said the criticisms
leveled at the Pulitzer board
do not apply to the Peabody
board. He said he has at
tempted to diversify, and to
rectify obvious weaknesses
on the board since he
became responsible for
recommending members in
1076
Cutlip cited the selection of
Wade Mosby, editor of the
Milwaukee Journal "TV
Screen," The Midwest had
previously been ignored,
Cutlip said
Cutlip said he also in
tegrated the board with the
selection of former board
member Barbara Jordan.
The former congresswoman
is black; so is John E.
Reinhardt, the man selected
to succeed her this year.
Reinhardt, a former US.
ambassador to Nigeria, is
not director of the Interna
tional Communication Agen
cy.
Cutlip admitted that youth
is under-represented on the
board, but pointed to the ad
dition in 1980 of students to
the journalism screening
committees. The students,
who are chosen by the five
sequence heads in the jour
nalism school, provide a
younger viewpoint on the
Peabody entries, he said.
While the Pulitzer has also
been criticized on grounds
that little effort is made to
seek innovative work,
McDougald said he doesn’t
believe the Peabody suffers
the same problem.
’’! feel we put an entry
form in 99 9 percent of pro
ducing companies," he said
“Our aim is to get an entry
form to everyone who wants
to enter ”
Approximately 10,000
forms are mailed out each
year, said Rosemary Wood,
Peabody secretary
While entries in the
Pulitzer competition must be
made by the candidate's
newspaper, anyone can
"direct the attention of the
Peabody Board to a special
program," according to the
award program literature.
Porter said his committee
viewed everything from “30-
second public service an
nouncements by a local sta
tion to a Hollywood-
produced program on drug
abuse ”
With the wide variety in
quality and type of entry,
how can the splashy network
productions be compared to
programs from the smaller
stations?
"A lot of local stations
came out with better pro
ducts,” Porter said. "We’d
say, 'This is NBC, it better
be good.’ A lot of times, it
wasn't.”
But no matter what the
screening committees
decide, the final selection is
still up to the Peabody
board.
"Like the Pulitzer, so
much of what we do is over
ridden by the board,"
Bethune said. “What we do
is just to discard what is
really terrible."
