Festival W Fundraising Drive for Public Television Begins Saturdav CHAPEL HILL- Festival ‘84, the uthual oo-air fun draising drive for public ta}evision,begins Saturday, March 3. The University of North Carolina Center for Public Television wil join other public television sta tions around the country in the two-week (March 3-18) combination of special pro grams and appeals for con tributions from viewers. Grace J. Rohrer, director of development for North Carolina Public Television, has announced a goal of $1.2 million in contributions and pledges by the end of the drive. For the first time this year, the Center has conducted other low-key fundraising ef forts leading up to Festival, most recently the “Think Again” campaign. These ef forts have elicited such strong viewer response that Rohrer projects that at least $500,00 in contributions will be received by the time Festival starts. The on-air goal for Festival will be determined by the amount of money received up to the day Festival begins, Rohrer said. The amount received up to that day will be subtracted from the overall $1.2 million goal to determine that amount that will have to be raised d"ring Festival. Because viewers have been so suportive of the “Think Again" campaign, Rohrer said that the Center will be able to cut back on the number of on-air pledge breaks this year. “We had faith that our viewers would support us, so we cut out the first night of Festival up front.” Rohrer said. In the past, Festival has started on Friday, but this year it will not start until Saturday. In all, 34 fewer pledge breaks have been scheduled this year, Rohrer says that if there is strong William Timothy Davis G.

Funds raised during Festival are primarily used for acquiring programs, although some of the funds go to support production, technical services and other operating expenses for which there are insufficient state funds. Last year’s Festival funds helped pay for three new television cameras for Center productions. State sup port for the public television system in North Carolina is primarily used ofr salaries ansL-operational support. Funds for program acquisi tion and production come from a variety of sources, primarily grants, viewer con tributions and corporate underwriting. In addition to the monetary goal, Rohrer has set a membership goal for festival ‘84. There are presently around 32,000 contributors Promotions Several promotions and transfers were recently an nounced by Waring W.
