Music In each separate activity, rising costs must be paid for, or the activity stops. For this reason the government helps aircraft manufacturers by paying a higher once for each plane; highway Builders are helped by being paid more dollars for each come from the private sector judgment of our national and state arts councils and the admission and ticket sales, gifts from individuals, corpo- judgment of advisory committees, qualify under the folrations, foundations, etc lowing four factors.

Its public service those art activities that, in the The first standard is one of What constitutes adequacy. meaningful aid is a matter of judgment and vanes, depending on the arts activity and its location Because we are killing our companies with inflation, the very act of setting a higher pnonty for the arts demands an investigation of the needs caused by LUflDSTROm mile of highway; corporations are able to pay the rising salaries of workers by charging higher prices for the product; the higher cost of education, and of local and national security is paid out of larger budgets for the city, the state, and the nation either But if the costs of a concert doubles in 10 years, (and that means $43 million more to be found by the leading orchestras), if the costs of art institutions double, as does everything else, we take no action appropnate to the crisis. The crisis is of our making We have an artistic trust held in common by all, and we are failing in that trust. We are letting beauty atrophy, and we This is not the case with the arts. The same higher costs cannot be passed on m higher ticket prices, for the immediate effect would be to dimmish the activity, to exclude the very people who care the most. must do something about it. What we should do is now clear We have learned a lot about governmental aid m the past few years, and we have some hard facts to go on First We must determine what are the true needs of the arts and decide what part of that need should be met by government We must set the goal at a level that will accomplish what we want to accomplish. This is the American way. We did it in the sciences, and we reached the moon, we can do it in the arts and humanities. It is no longer possible for the private sector, through gifts of generous persons, to bear the public burden of inflation and so, without quite realizing it, we have been killing what our society loves. It is very clear that we have a double standard in this country. If the cost of our concrete highways doubles to over $76 billion, we put up that extra money; if the costs of the F14 fighter planes turn out to be $6 billion, almost double symphony 4 And most important the needs of the institution in providing its overall services t B S for Quality at a Fair Face Your Guaranteed Best Buy For Home or Office h.s Contemporary you are the average "fatty'' you have tried almost everythmgand failed or lost a little and gamed it all back m one glorious weekend Then the guilt sets in. .you feel you have failed because you areweak-wlle- d . . and you have given up Well, you are wrong.
