Making the Case for Public TV A trio of WTIU Community Advisory Board members went to our nation’s capital for three days in February to build the case for public television. Pam Davidson, Sally Gaskill, and Lynn Schwartzberg went to Washington, D.C. at their own expense, accompanied by WTIU Program Director Brent Molnar as WTIU’s official representative. The group spent two days at the 2015 Public Media Summit, a conference of presentations on issues facing public broadcasting that was attended by over 600 professionals in the field. On their third day, the WTIU group presented what they learned to lawmakers, including Indiana’s Senator Joe Donnelly and Representative Todd Young. They stressed the importance of WTIU to south-central Indiana and solicited their support for public broadcasting in the federal budget. “Pam, Lynn, and Sally are our biggest cheerleaders,” Molnar said. “We need more like them.”

Spring Fund Drive April 9th to 14th
This month WFIU listeners will hear something they don’t usually hear: a spring fund drive. The reason for the spring drive is simple: we didn’t make our goal for the fund drive last fall — we fell about $65,000 short. So $65,000 is our goal. Beyond that, our hope is twofold: to increase the number of “sustaining” members—listeners who contribute a regular monthly amount on an ongoing basis; second, we’d like to give those listeners who weren’t able to give last fall another opportunity to support the programming that brings so much value to our lives. We hope you’ll help us in reaching our goal by making a pledge on-line or by phone. Thank you!

Last Days in Vietnam: American Experience Tuesday, April 28, 9–11pm
During the last days of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closed in on Saigon as village after village fell to the North. U.S. diplomats and military operatives still in Saigon grew concerned for the safety of their South Vietnamese allies, co-workers, and friends who faced imprisonment or death following a North Vietnamese victory. With the city under fire, American officers on the ground faced a moral dilemma: whether to follow official policy and evacuate U.S. citizens and their dependents only, or to ignore their orders and save the Vietnamese men, women, and children they had come to love in their years in Vietnam. Risking their careers and courts-martial, a handful of individuals took matters into their own hands. Engaging in unsanctioned operations, they waged a desperate effort to evacuate as many South Vietnamese as possible.
Most of the action on that final day took place at the U.S. Embassy in Saigon, where thousands of South Vietnamese scaled the walls while a U.S. intelligence analyst ran his own underground railroad of evacuees to barges on the Saigon River. In the final hours of the evacuation, Ambassador Graham Martin used American resources meant for his own protection to extract thousands of South Vietnamese during an 18-hour airlift from the embassy compound. Last Days in Vietnam was directed by Rory Kennedy and is airing in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon.
