True, there waS no national funding per se. However, artisans were held in high esteem and given privileges that reflected their talents. In our society, with its downward-spiraling economy and the high cost of living, national funding is our equivalent to the privileged status of the emperor's artist. By cutting these funds, the government would in effect be turning its back on our artists, arts and the culture of our society in general. There is no segment of society that would be left untouched by our government's refusal to patron the arts. For example, take public television. How would you like your favorite episode of "Are You Being Served?" or "Mystery!" interrupted by commercials because public television couldn't make ends meet? By being forced to compete with commercial stations for advertisers, public television would soon turn into a network clone. Perhaps our leaders on Capitol Hill could take a lesson from JSU's venture in art sponsorship. We have shown that the investment pays for itself.
