A note from Jim Beriand:
For those of you who have been watching this space and the Report to the Listener, you have noted a number of departures during the past three months. Here we add some others. In all cases those who have left have shared their commitment for a time with you listeners; in all cases, they con- tinue that commitment, and as with Carl Stone, urge your continued support of KPFK and Pacifica that is certainly needed now.

October marks the advent of change in the Music Department here at KPFK. Lois Vierk, John Wager-Schneider, and | are de- parting from the station as staf- fers and moving on to other things: Lois will be continuing her work as a composer and as a student of Japanese classical music, with hopes to visit Japan in the Spring of ‘82; John will be teaching in the Los Angeles area and continuing his development as an outstanding in- terpreter of 20th century music for the guitar. For myself, | plan to be doing many things: some mu- sic criticism, special radio projects, and giving more attention to my work as a composer.
All of us will be doing program- ming at the station for as long as it wants us; Lois with Morning of the World, John with Soundboard, and myself with /maginary Land- scape.
To be completely honest and candid, | have to say that | leave KPFK with sadness and regret because of differences here. Yet | want to impress upon you if | can the importance now more than ever of listener support for this station. KPFK-Pacifica as an institu- tion is a vital counter to Reagan and his Reaganomics, and all that those things mean. It has the means, supplied by its charter, to pro- vide vital information in times of crisis and to serve as an antidote to cutbacks in the arts. | urge your full support in this month's fund drive to sustain this great ideal. | also urge you to take advan tage of this opportunity to make your opinions about music pro- gramming known to mangement here. Your feedback is vital.
My best, ; \) PA Poa ott

Fall Fund Drive
As you know, KPFK depends almost entirely on its listening audience for
monetary support. Part | of our Fall Fund Drive is upon us, and we con-
tinue our efforts to declare our in-
dependence from government funding.
We can do that only with your help. From October 3 through 17 we'll intersperce our programming with appeals to new subscribers, and ask for your continued assistance. The proof of the pudding is in our pro- gramming: an entire day devoted to the issue of sexism; a. teach-in on Reaganomics; special documentaries on El Salvador. Provocative alterna- tive programming is a Pacifica tra- dition. Help us preserve it.

Men & Women
Against Sexism
Friends, Lovers, and Family: Battling Sexism—Saturday, October 3.
To kick off the Fall Fund Drive with an examination of some issues that affect us all every day of our lives, Jeannie Pool of KPFK and Don Cannon of the Los Angeles Men's Collective have put together this special day of programming. This unique look at the fight by women, men, and children to end sexism includes music, poetry, panel discussions, and listener phone calls.
What constitutes honesty in releationships? What questions should be asked when one considers having children? What is the Feminist Men’s Movement and how does it work to actively support women’s libera- tion activities? Are women and men beginning to better communicate with one another in the 1980s because of a decade of feminism in America? How widespread is domestic violence and can it be stopped? What most influences our concepts of the ideal mate? Is friendship and love between women and men possible?
These and other questions will be posed, and answers probed, with discussions on non-sexist day care, men with children, friendship, bat- tered women, reproductive rights, the ERA, love and friendship be- tween men and women. The most provocative program of the day will be ‘The New Right's Plot to Destroy the Family’’ moderated by Dave Dismore, which includes a presentation on the history of the family, an analysis of the proposed Family Protection Act, an examination of the anti-feminist backlash, and the prospects for healthy families.
The evening concert live from Studio Z features Folkways recording artist Willie Sordill from Boston, known for his political non-sexist songs; poet David Steinberg from Santa Cruz; Womansong with Julie North and Kass Krain; Bev and Jerry Praver; and hosted by John
Paul of the Provisional Theatre and L.A. Men’s Collective, and Jeannie Pool. If you are interested in attending , make your reservation by calling KPFK at 213-877-2711 during business hours.
Reaganomics Teach-In
In Celebration of Black Music
Live from Studio Z, a teach-in on Reaganomics, the Corporate State, and the Future of Democracy on Wednesday, October 7, 8:00 pm. Topics for discussion by our panel of expert analysts wil! include the transfer of funding away from social programs and toward the military; Reagan foreign policy and its effect on domestic policy; civil liberties and the consciousness of the middle and working classes. The teach-in will be broadcast live, and is also open for your participation. You'll be able to question directly our panel. Make seating reservations by calling the station during business hours: the number is 213-877-2711. KPFK is located at 3729 Cahuenga Boulevard West in North Hollywood, just off the Lankershim exit of the Hollywood Freeway.
The realm of Black music is multi-faceted—from Coltrane’s “A
Love Supreme” to Scott Joplin’s ‘‘Opera Treemonisha.”’ On Sunday, October 18 from 9:00 am to midnight, we'll take a walk down musical memory lane, into the present, and then take a step into the future of Black music.
Sylvester Rivers and percussionist Gary Alexander will examine African, reggae, calypso, political, and revolutionary music, while ethnomusicologist Dr. Lance Williams will present blues, bebop, swing, and Big Band music.
We will rebroadcast concerts recorded live in KPFK’s Studio Z, as well as produce a live concert on this day for your listening enjoyment. Join us in the festivities! Keep listening to the air for more information about performers as things develop.
Programming will include interviews with Peter Tosh, Bumps Blackwell, Horace Tapscott, Gerald Wilson, drummer AI Williams and other L.A. musicians. And local musicians will participate in a live panel discussion of the music business and its political aspects.
As our day progresses, we'll present a jazz program probably un- like any you've heard in quite some time. Aman Kifahamu (of KUSC fame) and Pearl Shelby have quite a few surprises in store for you. And, last but not least, we cannot even begin to think about Black music without dealing with Rock & Roll, Rhythm & Blues, funk and Top 40.
Join us Sunday, October 18—be a part of our “Celebration of Black Music.’

OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 7
Film Club Special ‘Classic’ Screening.
The Sandglass, written and directed by Wojciech J. Has, in Polish with English subtitles; 124 minutes, color. The Sandglass had its American pre- miere at 1975 Filmex, and has not received commercial exhibition in Los Angeles.
The following description comes from the Filmex screening notes:
Wojciech Has, a leading artist in a country replete with creative talent, has woven together a collection of short stories by Bruno Schulz, one of Poland's leading literary figures of the inter-war years, to create a baroque movie which enters and re- veals the Schulz world of complexes and psychological obsessions. There is no plot in the conventional sense.
The film is a poetic relation of dreams
ruled by ambiguity and free associa- tion. Joseph, the protagonist, arrives at a sanatorium to visit his father. On his arrival he steps through an allegorical gate, a gate to the world of fantasy called up from the sub- conscious. Time has not only slowed to a halt, but begun to go backwards, allowing Joseph to reconstruct many things from the past. Events, happen ings occur as in a kaleidoscope. He finds himself among the people who were the closest to him: his father, his mother, the servant Adele, his friends Rudolph end Bianca, an im- poverished trader, the assistants at the mercer’s shop owned by Joseph’s father, and the ‘‘Holy Originals,’’ em- blematic figures which pass through the film like phantoms (pirates, red Indians, trappers, soldiers, cowboys and sailors). The Sandglass is a film about relationships dissolving, as the world of childhood reality slowly recedes into an irretrievable past.
It may also be viewed as an artist's rendering of the theoretical formu- lations of psychoanalysis.
KPFK’s screening will take place Saturday, October 17 at 10:30 am at the Fox Venice Theatre.
Reservations will be taken between 6-8 pm on Thursday, the 15th. Please present your Film Club card at the door.

The Dolby Quandary:
You may have noticed that a lot of films these days boast in their adver- tising of their Dolby sound. This expensive Dolby process is used par- ticularly in films which emphasize their music, or make especially in- tricate use of sound. Because of the cost of Dolby playback equipment, it’s usually found only in first-run theaters specializing in big-budget, mass-audience films. (Neighborhood exhibition of the same films won't be in Dolby, but the distributors want preview audiences to see their movies ‘‘at their best.’’)
Since the theaters which are avail- able for Film Club use on a no-fee basis generally show foreign or “‘art’’ films, they don’t have or need Dolby playback. But lately, some films of considerable merit have come along which we know you'd enjoy seeing, and which require a Dolby theater. A case in point is September's splen- did offering, ‘Chariots of Fire.’’ It required payment for theater rental, and KPFK simply didn’t have the bucks. We were able to show it only because of the generosity of Warner Bros. and the Ladd Company, who donated the rental money, as well as the film.
Pee ee cS
It would have been agonizing to have had to pass up such an excep- tional film for want of a few hun- dred dollars, and we know we'll face this problem again. We're work- ing on a variety of possible solutions but in the meantime, here’s what we'll do:
***1f a film comes along which we can screen only in a Dolby theater, and it’s unquestionably superior to alternative films available to us, rather than denying you the oppor- tunity of having a Film Club screen- ing of it, we'll institute a small sur- charge at the door. The sum should never have to exceed 50 cents per person.
The theater(s) will be chosen to max- imize seats, and minimize parking problems, but since Dolby theaters generally are located in areas of com- mercial density, we have to be real- istic about this.
Meanwhile, we're extremely pleased with the films we've been able to show you this past year, and our efforts to obtain stimulating fare will continue unabated.
Barbara Spark
This month marks the opening of our Fall Fund Drive. . ./ndependence II. At press time our goal had not been established, but the process for estab- lishing it is clear, and you will hear much about it during the drive itself. Like the last spring drive, this one will be in two parts. The first two
weeks in October (3-17), and the con-
clusion with two weeks during the month of November.
Here we present our current opera- ting expenses. This will be the basis for our operation until January 1, 1981.
In next month's Fo/io and on the air we will present our budget for growth, which we hope to implement on January 1. For many years we have not felt that we could budget on the basis of growth to actually meet the needs of the community, but only budget to survive on the lowest level. The times demand more of all of us. Staff cannot survive and work productively if we do not address in- flation, and increase salaries. Equip- ment will not continue to survive if it is not properly maintained and re- placed when it is worn out. The sta- tion will not grow to meet expanding needs if we do not reach out to new audiences, and that will not be done unless we devote some resources to that.
What is presented here, we hope to be a budget of the past. Next month you will see a budget of the future and a description of the positive con- sequences for broadcasting on KPFK.
Our Fall Drive Goal will reflect an attempt to reach for that new level of activities.

No Quick Fix
We thought of our programming for this Fall's Fund Drive with two phone calls from listeners burning
in our memories: A man complains that although he earns $30,000 a year, his buying power is less now than when he earned $15,000. He blames this on the poor and upon social programs financed by the state. Another man calls a show which dis- cusses the need to convert ‘‘defense”’ industries to non-military production. “But we need jobs,” he objects, not hearing, or not believing. Perhaps he sees nothing wrong with U.S. foreign policy, perhaps he cannot imagine any kind of social transformation which wil! improve his life, let alone protect himself and his family.
Such attitudes, widely shared am- ong the petit bourgeoisie and work- ing class, provide the social basis for fascism. It is this possiblity that we address in our Fall programming. As we observe.the alarming rate of cor- porate mergers, the collapse of lib- eral opposition in Congress, the grow- ing consolidation of monopoly in mass media. We and our listeners wonder, “Can It Happen Here?”
The October 7 Teach-In on “‘Rea- ganomics, the Corporate State and the Future of Democracy” tackles this momentous and difficult ques- tion. Other special programs this month elaborate on the provoca- tions of the Reagan Administration: heightened racism and sexism, the effects of budget cuts on women and minorities, and the future of the arts and humanities (particu- larly those that foster critical con- sciousness—see Edward Said’s re- marks which follow).
We hope that these and all our other programs will provide the genuinely alternative analysis that justifies listener-sponsorship: one with a moral and critical dimension missing in the rest of media. Dur- ing the second half of our fund drive in November we follow these “provocations with an examina- tion of how Americans are respond-
ing: passivity and activity. We will
OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 10
oa pple . Tree
look at the culture of apathy, at paranoia, sado-masochism, nihilism, and the revolt against modernity. We will then assess the position and direction of contemporary ‘social movements. And most importantly, we will return to our Pacifica ar- chives to take a fresh look at the ‘60s in order to counter what Peter Lyman has described as the de- politicization of the Vietnam War and its transformation into questions of individual psychology—veterans’ benefits and veterans’ violence. It is, of course, the right-wing strategy to obliterate the memory of the ‘60s when a powerful anti-imperialist con- sensus developed, the better to justi- fy-American intervention in Central America and Africa, should that be necessary.
A few words about music program- ming. We are in the process of form- ing a music advisory committee, con- sisting of composers, performers, critics, historians, and musicologists.
As we consider the future of mu- sic and other cultural programming at KPFK, we invite your thoughts as to how all our programming in the arts could best serve a diverse commu- nity where cultural preferences have been misused to pit people against each other. In other words, as we diversify our cultural programming, how can we unify, rather than frag- ment our audience? | invite your continued response to these ques- tions and offer an excerpt from Ed- ward Said’s essay which will, | hope, illuminate and extend’ what | have been trying to say here for the last seven months.

Excerpt from Edward Said, “Zionism -
from the Standpoint of Its Victims,” Social Text, Vol. 1 No. 1, Winter 1979.
In the particular case of the Pales- tinian/Zionism conflict a group of important issues proposes itself for radical intellectual analysis and cri- tique. That there is an impasse now, that real peace seems so far-fetched and remote a possibility and, worst of all, that Western metropolitan in- tellectuals see the situation as so entirely confused as to be left to the “expert” crisis-managers: all these are symptoms of the failure to be critical, of the failure of in- tellectuals to contribute in intellec- tual production to the political strug- gle. After all, since as human beings we exist in the same world with the not-so-far-away peoples of the Third World, why should we not therefore undertake seriously to understand, and fight against, the hegemony of imperialist culture, especially when it means deserting the hermeticism of metaphysical cobweb spinning, and resolving to try reading and writing history for a change?
| conclude therefore with a brief enumeration of questions—problems —requiring precisely the kind of op- positional attention | have been dis- cussing since, it is my contention, intellectual matters, no less than “practical’’ ones, produce the world: in which ultimately we all live.
1. Human rights: how is the mat- ter of US/USSR detente to be dis- entangled from an intricate set of other interests: the problem of dissi- dents in the Soviet Union; the pri- vilege of Zionism over every other Sovret nationality problem in the
eT
Soviet system and the achievement of a special status for Jewish immi- gration to Israel out of the USSR; the lack of attention paid by the Zionist organizations to persecution of Jews in Argentina and the absence of a campaign to help Jews emigrate to Israel from, say, Latin America; the necessity for Israel of maintaining a continual flow of European Jews into the country in order to keep control—indefinitely—over enormous Arab territory (possibly greater than what Israel now holds, including Transjordan itself) and to keep dom- inance in the hands of Ashkenazim in a country that is demographically “Oriental’’ (the similarity, and hence the rationale for alliance, with right- wing Maronites in Lebanon); the ex- ploitation versus the necessity of nev- er forgetting Nazi genocide practiced against European Jews, all that con- nected with the slow re-emergence
of anti-Semitism in the West, the general intellectual and cultural swing to the right, the submission of intel- lectuals to control of the state; the rise of state-worship.
2. The complex problem of vio- lence, state terrorism, the limits and the theory of revolutionary armed struggle, its limitations and its pit- falls particularly as a result of the neglect of cultural struggle.
. . . What has been the intellectuals’ role in legitimating not only the state, but the state's pretense to all rights, all legitimacy, all values? The rela- tionship in such instances between the intellectuals, the mass media, cultural stereotypes, and the con- stant latency of violence needs care- ful study.
3. Free debate, cultural pluralism, absence of censorship, cultural free- dom: these also are much discussed, and left stupidly unattended to by literary intellectuals who on the one hand inveigh against liberalism, pro- claim the dangers of the right-wing, the dangers of thought-control and consumerism, and, on the other hand, live quite happily in an unanalyzed
system of media monopoly, press and publishing censorship, news doc- toring, and other forms of cultural violence. What is the relationship be- tween late capitalism and the various forms of cultural hegemony, between domination and persuasion, between the mores of the academy and those of business and government? 4. Finally, (a) what role as a pro-
ducer of criticism and historical know-
ledge does the Western intellectual pray diven the background of Occi- dental domination and oppression of the non-Occidental world; (b) what is the-meaning of community given the construction and abuse of Others —women, blacks, Palestinians, etc.— and given also the sustained produc- tion of alienating technological dis- courses (colluded in by liberal intel- lectuals) in the advanced capitalist world?
To this cluster of problems the critical consciousness can respond only with: the study of history, a belief in rational knowledge, a strong sense of what political life is all about, a set of values grounded ab- solutely in human community, de- mocracy, and faith in the future. Thus do theory and praxis become aspects of each other, when intel- lectual work more closely approach- es political worldliness, and when the study of culture is activated by val- ues, ideals, and political commit- ment. In no way, however, do | ad- vocate the abandonment either of theory or of one’s sense of free and complete intellectual activity. On the contrary, it is those alone that enable one fully to be, to participate, in history.

OHN CAGE: An Interview
The following is the second and con- cluding part of an interview of com- poser John Cage by Roger Reynolds. This article also appears in Contem- porary Composers on Contemporary Nusic, Elliot Schwartz and Barney Childs, editors, Da Capo Press, 1967.
Roger Reynolds: Ina lecture in 1937 you said, ‘the principle of form will be our only constant connection with the past.’’ You went on to identify this connection as ‘‘the principle of organization, or man's common abi- lity to think.”’ Later you would asso- ciate form with the “morphology of a continuity’ and ‘expressive con- tent.’ Would you trace your develop- ing view of form?
John Cage: I’m now more involved in disorganization and a state of mind which in Zen is called no-mindedness. Those statements, given in 1937, are given as a sort of landmark to let the reader know from where | set out. There are certain things in that lec- ture that | would agree with and some that | would not. | imagine
that when | used the word form
then, that | meant what | later called structure (the divisibility of a whole into parts). Later | used form in the same sense that people generally use
the word content (that aspect of com-
position which is best able to be free, spontaneous, heartfelt, and so on). That attitude towards form is sort
of in the middle, between my pres- ent thought and my early thought. Now | don’t bother to use the word form, since | am involved in making processes, the nature of which | don’t foresee. How can | speak of form?
RR: Achronological sampling of your work would seem to indicate that each successive composition im- plements a new idea. That is, instead of a fresh manipulation or reordering of accepted terms within a style, you manipulate styles or ideas within a de- veloping philosophical view.
JC: | dont understand the question.
1 TOBER FOLIO PAGI
RR: Most composers operate within a certain style or idiom, and they have set materials which they manipulate. Their compositions, each one after the other, become no more, nor less, than a careful new ordering of the same factors. It has seemed to me in look- ing at your activities chronologically that your works continually evince a new manipulation of /deas on a level abstracted from things. Each new piece puts into effect a new manifes- tation of style or idea in some way, and that the continuity in your work is a developing view of desirable actions. :
JC: Oh, yes, I’m devoted to the principle of originality. Not originali- ty in the egoistic sense, but originality in the sense of doing something which it is necessary to do. Now, obviously, the things that it is necessary to do are not the things that have been done, but the ones that have not yet been done. This applies not only to other people's work, but seriously to my own work; that is to sayi, if | have done something, then | consider it my business not to do that, but to find what must be done next.
RR: Why are you in the habit of pre- senting your lectures in some unu- sual manner? As an example, in the extremely repetitious Lecture on Nothing, you periodically say, “if anybody is sleepy let him go to sleep.” JC: If a lecture is informative, then people can easily think that some- thing is being done to them, and that they don't need to do anything about it except receive. Whereas, if | give a lecture in such a way that is not
clear what is being given, then people have to do something about it.
RR: In the lecture Composition as Process, you state that, around 1950, you viewed composition as “an acti- vity integrating the opposites, the ra- tional and the irrational, bringing about, ideally, a freely moving con- tinuity within a strict division of parts, the sounds, their combina- tions and succession being logically related or arbitrarily chosen.’’ Later
you refer to composition as involving processes not objects. Would you com ment on how your view has altered during the last few years?
JC: Yes. It is still involved with pro- cess and not with object. The differ- ence is specifically the difference, say, between an ash tray and the whole room. Ash tray can be seen as having beginning and end, and you can con- centrate on it. But when you hegin to experience the whole room—not ob- ject, but many things—then: where is the beginning? where is the middle? where is the end? It is clearly a ques- tion notof an object but rather of a process, and finally, that process has to be seen as subjective to each in- dividual.
RR: It is the process of one’s obser- vation, not the physical fact. . .
JC: Yes, and that is why | want to get it so that people realize that they them- selves are doing their experience, and that it’s not being done to them. Then coming back to that question on form. | thought of something else to say. When | say that, “| am not interested in form,” or ‘how can | use the word form,” | have to ask another question, namely, where do we see any form- lessness? Particularly nowadays with telescopes, with microscopes, etc., as one of my painter friends, Jasper Johns, says, ‘‘the world is very busy.” Form everywhere.
RR: What relation has ‘‘cause and effect’’ to your work?
JC: That, again, is like the attitude toward symbol; rather than see that one thing has a given effect, we want to see that one thing has a// effects.
RR: The notion of causality has been much too simple in the past, there is such a multitude of causes and effects, and their interrelationships are so complex...
JC: That is the real situation: that everything causes everything else.
In other words, it is much more com- plicated than our scientists like to admit.
with Roger Reynolds
RR: For example, the development of relativity has put Newton's laws in an unexpected perspective. One discovers that the neat mottos which we have for dealing with life are of- ten inaccurate,
JC: And if | feel the weight, for in- stance, of my responsibility, then I'm simply ignorant of the effects of my actions, because they have effects which don’t happen to cause me to think about them.
RR: Some composers recently have admitted a degree of chance to their compositions but have retained gen- erally traditional methods by and large. You have noted that this prac- tice reveals a ‘carelessness with re- gard to the outcome.’’ Would you elaborate on that comment?
JC: If one is making an object and then proceeds in an indeterminate fashion, to let happen what will, out- side of one’s control, then one is simply being careless about the ma- king of that object.
RR: You don’t think, then, that it is valid for a composer to wish that a certain aspect or section of his work will have a changing face while the general language and substance remains controlled?
JC: | think | know what you're re- ferring to and it’s a very popular field of activity among composers at the present time. That is to say, to have certain aspects of a composition con- trolled, if | understand you, and others uncontrolled. Well, what is maintained here is the concept of pairs of oppo- sites: having black and white, as it were, and then composing with the play of these opposites. One can then engage in all of the games that aca- demic composition has led us to know how to play. One can balance this with that, produce climaxes, and so on.
\'m afraid all | can say is that it doesn’t interest me. It doesn’t seem to me to radically change the situation from
the familiar convention. It simply takes these new ways of working and consolidates them with the old know- ledges, so that one remains at home with one’s familiar ideas of the dra- ma-—of the play of the opposites. So,
one wouldn't have to change one’s mind. Whereas, | think we are ina more urgent situation, where it is absolutely essential for us to change our minds fundamentally. And in this sense, | could be likened to a fundamentalist Protestant preacher. Stockhausen has recently employed a system of composition which in- volves the selection of one technique at a time from a number of different ways of working, and an attempt to let any one of them move into play. This gives the impression of a rich reservoir of contemporary techniques, so that in a repertoire of say seven or eight compositional techniques, in- determinacy would play the part of one, and you could call on it, as it were, when you had some use for it. But, that doesn't require a change of mind from what one previously had, and so nothing fundamentally dif- ferent is taking place. | think one could see it very clearly in terms of painting. You could have certain parts of a canvas controlled and others quite chaotic, and so you would be able to play, as it were, in the same way in which you had played before. What we need is a use of our Art which alters our lives—is useful in our lives. We are familiar with those plays of balance, so they couldn't possibly do anything more to us, no matter how novel they were, than they already have done. ‘New wine in old bottles.’
Robert Ashley: It seems to me that your influence on contemporary mu- sic, on ‘‘musicians,’’ is such that the entire metaphor of music could change to such an extent that—time being up- permost as a definition of music—the ultimate result would be a music that wouldn't necessarily involve anything but the presence of people. That is,
it seems to me that the most radical redefinition of music that | could think of would be one that defines “music’’ without reference to sound.
JC: Oh, yes, | made some use of that in my silent piece. [Ed. note: Mr. Cage has written a piece (433”) which directs the performer (if he is a pianist) to come on stage, seat him- self at a piano for a specified time without engaging in any other acti- vity than the delineation, by some means, of the three movements of the composition. At the end of the designated time, the performer rises and leaves the room without having made any intentional sounds. ]
RA: It doesn't strike me as being that.
JC: But that involves a number of people being together, and there are no special sounds.
RA: If our awareness of time in- creased to such a degree that it didn’t require that we be informed of time through the medium of sound—if our awareness of time became enlarged or changed to a really radical degree —then it’s conceivable that we would do away with sound.
JC: But we can’t. You see there are always sounds.
RR: This has to do with the distinc- tion that Mr. Cage has made between sound and silence: that the former consists of sounds that are intended, while the latter allows the sound which occurs unbidden in the envi- ronment to be heard.
JC: Yes,
RR: So that what you are saying, in essence, is that we might do away with intended sounds.
RA: Well, let me put it this way. We might have a piece from which one par- ticipant would come, and, upon being questioned, would say that the occa- sion was marked by certain sounds. Another person might say that he didn't remember any sounds. There was something else. But they both would agree that a performance of music had taken place.

Prescription for Survival
The following article originally ap- peared in the Los Angeles County Medical Association Physician, June 22, 1981 edition. [t addresses many of the issues examined in our own Prescription for Survival, heard every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:30. Check listings for details.
Doctors Should Be Concerned about the Medical Consequences of Nuclear War
by Samuel |. Roth ,M.D.
In this nuclear age mankind faces an unprecedented threat to its survival. Events in recent months have increased the risk of conflict between the U.S. and Russie, and the use of nuclear weapons could ultimately be expect- ed if open warfare starts.
As the size of the nuclear arsenals increases so does the risk. There are more than 40,000 nuclear devices, the combined explosive power of which is believed to exceed that of more than one-million Hiroshima bombs. Accidentally or intentionally, a nuclear exchange becomes more likely as the systems become more compiex and more countries develop their own nuclear weapons. Malfunc- tioning computers or human derange- ment could accidentally trigger a nu- clear missile resulting in a massive nuclear exchange which would cause 70-million to 160-million deaths in the U.S.A.!
We have been reassured in the past that deterrence between the super- powers would prevent war, but now we hear strident talk of winning a nu- clear war through a first strike strate- gy. Nuclear war, unthinkable in the past, is now proposed by some mem- bers of our government and military, and the death of millions of our coun- trymen is considered an acceptable loss.
Both the U.S. and Russia now have the capability of destroying each other several times over and there is no pos- sible defense. In the late 1960s for- mer Secretary of Defense Robert Mc- Namara stated that just 10% of the then existing nuclear arsenal of both
OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 14
the U.S. and Russia could etfectively wipe out each nation’s capability to function as a major industrial power.
In 1962, a series of articles in the New England Journal of Medicine outlined the results of a ‘‘limited’’ nu- clear strike against Boston. The blast, firestorm and ionizing radiation were estimated to kill about one-third of a metropolitan population of three million people. Another million, who survived the acute effects would die of delayed injuries. Ninety percent of physicians would be killed or in- jured and the vast majority of hospi- tal beds would be destroyed. Calcu- lations have been made for other cit- ies and comparable losses have been estimated. !
Other effects which have been con- sidered possible are a decrease in the stratopheric ozone layer which would greatly increase the incidence of skin cancer, crop failures from alteration in insect ecology and worldwide radi- ation effects.
Most of us have grown up with “The Bomb” threat and we may have lost the capacity to respond as we should to this threat. When faced with such an overwhelming catastrophic event as nuclear war we tend to use denial as a mechanism of coping. This deep fear can have a paralyzing effect, but it could, just as well, motivate us to act constructively.
Continuing the arms race at its pres- ent pace is inviting disaster. Untold millions of people will die and as many will suffer in a nuclear war. Physicians as a group have the res- pect and credibility to influence in- ternational policy. We understand the near futility of planning for me- dical care in the aftermath of a nu- clear exchange, and therefore we must convince our leaders to reduce the risk of nuclear war through ne- gotiations with other nuclear pow- ers. Verifiable reduction of the nu- clear arsenals in the world must be accomplished; at the same time our national security must be assured.
What can physicians do? Roger J. Bulger MD, President of the Univer- sity of Texas Health Science Center
in Houston, offers one answer: “‘It can be strongly argued that nuclear holocaust is the greatest threat to the health and propagation of the human race, and therefore it seems appro- priate and desirable for organized medicine and physicians to become educated and in turn, to educate our public and political leaders about the health implications of even a limited nuclear exchange.
“Our job as physicians is to warn against the health dangers of nuclear war and as citizens to find a way to maintain our defenses and our free- dom."
Dr. Bulger’s is not the only voice to speak out on the subject.* Physi- cians from the U.S., Russia and Eur- ope have met to discuss this issue. Recently, the CMA House of Dele- gates endorsed a resolution asking the AMA to petition the World Medi- cal Association to hold an interna- tional convocation of physicians from all the world’s nuclear powers to discuss the medical consequences and prevention of nuclear war.
A national organization, Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), has formed as a non-profit group dedica- ted to educating physicians and the public about the medical effects of nuclear war. Among its sponsors are Sidney Alexander MD of the Lahey Clinic Foundation; George N. Berdell MD, University of lowa College of Me- dicine; Helen Caldicott MB, BS, PSR President, Harvard Medical School; Oliver Cope MD, Harvard Medical School; H. Jack Geiger MD, City Col- lege of New York; Bernard Lown MD, Harvard School of Public Health; John P. Merrill MD, Harvard Medical School; Joans Salk MD, Salk Institute.
To date, there are 15 chapters in the U.S. The newly formed Los Ange- les chapter sponsorship includes Ro- ger Detels MD, Dean of the UCLA School of Public Health, Charles Klee- man MD of the UCLA School of Me- dicine, Daniel Simmons MD, PhD and Irwin Ziment MD, both profes- sors at UCLA.

TEACH-IN ON REAGANOMICS, THE CORPORATE STATE, AND THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY
Wednesday, October 7, 8:00 pm
This special program comes to you live from our Studio Z and will take a definitive look at the current political, economic, and social climate in the United States. You are invited to participate in our live, in-studio audience for this event so that you can directly ques- tion our panel of experts and analvsts.
Under discussion this evening will be the transfer of funding away from social programs and toward the military; the importance of Reagan foreign policy in influencing domestic policy; the conscious- ness of the middle class and the working class, and to what degree we are experiencing a new period of repression and restriction of civil liberties.
This program will explore such frequently heard sentiments as “Reagan is looking out for the little guy and getting big govern- ment off our backs.” This program was partially inspired by a phone call from a KPFK listener who said he was angry at peo- ple because he now earns $30,000 a year and yet has less pur- chasing power than when he earned half that amount. The caller went on to blame “‘those people on welfare” for his dropoff in living standards. In the fear that such sentiments as these could lead toward a new authoritarianism in the U.S., KPFK presents tonight's program inthe spirit of trying to understand the com- plex forces now at play in our society.
Please come down and join us for this live program. Phone 213- 877-2711 during business hours to make your reservations.

Dear Winterfair-goers and Craftspeople,
The staff of KPFK -has decided not to hold a Winter crafts fair this year. Thank you for your support and attendance at those
of years past.
The decision was based on past experiences——how ‘‘draining” the fair can be in terms of staff energies and station monies. It, and other events like it, detract from our first priority of
doing RADIO.
For those of you who shopped at the fair for winter-time pre- sents, why not consider giving a gift subscription to KPFK? A subscription form can be found on page 38 of the Folio; or. you can call the station and have us bill you.
Thanks again for your past support!

As part of KPFK’s efforts to gather the news and information which we all depend upon, we continue our study program.
Our trip to Poland was ready to go until the air traffic controllers went on strike——we hope to reconstitute it for the Spring of next year. In the meantime, we are planning to travel to Cuba via Mexico December 18 to January 2. This trip will cost in the neighborhood
of $1,500 for all expenses, including air transportation, meals, and hotels. This trip, like our previous effort in Nicaragua, will meet with leaders of government, labor, education, popular organizations, factory workers, etc., and tape all of the conversations and meetings for future broadcast on KPFK. Join in this valuable and exciting contribution to KPFK’s information programming, and see first hand the problems and
accomplishments of Cuban society.

dorphins are natural brain chemi- cals that have pharmacological properties that are nearly identi- cal to opiates, such as morphine or heroin. They may have a
role in schizophrenia and de- pression. As there is both an excess and a deficiency of en- dorphin activity in patients with mental disorders, the nar- cotic antagonist naloxone is also under study. Produced by Margaret Fowler. (62 min.) Open programming til 6:00. Roy of Hollywood hosts.

Prescription for Survival. From 1945 to 1962, more than 250,000 American servicemen served as guinea pigs to the U.S.’s atomic bomb testing program. Unknowingly, these soldiers, sailors, and marines, these air- men, pilots, and others tramped through the radioactive dust and debris, were enveloped by clouds of radioactive fallout, and were ordered to clean up the atomic garbage. From Hiroshima to Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Is- lands to the Nevada desert, these servicemen became the Atomic Veterans. Many of them were doomed by their experience to death and/or years of lingering illness.

The performance of Vexations by Erik Satie was one of the larger and more fun undertakings of the Music Department. Carl Stone and Lois Vierk co-ordinated the schedule of the 18 pianists who played in half- hour shifts. They were: Gloria Cheng, Paul Reale, Bob Fernandez, Gaylord Mowry, Mike McCandless, Lorna Little, Zita Carno, Reymond Berney, Heidi Leseman, Delores Stevens, Alan Oettinger, Felix De Cola, Richard Grayson, Milus Scruggs, Lucky Mosko, Ani Schwartz, David Ocker, and Leonid Hambro. Audrey Tawa stayed from 6 am to 71 am the next day with the task of keeping an ac- curate tally of the 840 repetitions demanded by the composer. Ahna Armour prepared a grande bouffe for all the participants, and Kathy Harada stayed to make sure things went smoothly. Special thanks to David Ocker for staying at the piano for an extra hour to finish up. By then end of the 19 hours, the sta- tion had received a total of 89 phone calls to comment on the broadcast: 67 favorable and 22 not. Below is
a sample of some of the telegrams and letters the station received in the days that followed.
Dear Sirs,
| was fascinated oy your courage and intellectual understanding of your broadcast on Sunday of the monumental work of Erik Satie. | am a long-time student of the ar- tistic works of this giant.
It occurs to me that many of your listeners are not aware of your cour- age and foresight in this effort. | have many interesting comments that could be applied to the music of Satie and to the problems that beset mankind at this most crucial era in our history.
| consider Erik Satie one of the few giants who are able to look ahead and challenge our civilization to survive.
Carlo Lodato
OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 32
Dear Carl Stone,
| am a subscriber to KPFK and for four years | was a subscriber to WBAI in New York and | listen to about an average of 12 hours a day of KPFK.
Last Sunday (September 6th) | tuned in at various times of the day, and did not hear the programs that | am normally used to listening to on a Sunday. Instead, what | heard was what sounded like to me as an endless, kindergarted level, finger exercise for the piano.
Upsn checking my Fo/ia, | found that the entire day was devoted to the recitation of a singular work by some obscure comroser named Erik Satie (i.e., the Vexations).
Now Carl, | can perfectly understand it if you and the other staff of KPFK were to devote an entire day of broad- casting of one symphonic composition or of even one piano concerto through- out the day, if that composition were to consist of multiple themes and/or movements with multiple variations, or if it were a composition of only one theme and/or movement with multiple variations, or if it were a composition of multiple themes and/ or movements with no variations, or any kind of composition that at least sounds different at least 10 minutes after it starts would all be much ap- preciated or at the very least, under- stood.
However, when you take an entire day of precious and expensive broad-
cast time and devote it to the execu- tion of a work with a singular theme, lasting a mere 80 seconds and then take that one theme and repeat it EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY times over the course of EIGHTEEN HOURS)... well then, this is just breaking every rule (written or other- wise) of sensibility, rationality, res- ponsibility and above all. . .sanity.
With the full understanding that it is KPFK’s policy to present and to showcase the literally hundreds of types of musics that would not be played elsewhere on any other radio station, and also with the recog- nition that it is KPFK’s as well as
your Own personal interest to ex- plore the infinite possibilities of mu- sic, | do not seek to condemn you
or the radio station for this act of utter nonsense. Nor should this let- ter be seen as a denunciation of mu- sic in the ‘Avant Garde,” ‘‘Dadaist,’’ or ‘New Music” genre. | myself have appreciated various presentations of unconventional music from such artists as Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, John Cage, John McLaughlin, and especially Frank Zappa. However, when you take a singular composition and repeat it 840 times, you are really violating the bounds of any type of decent broadcasting and if this is the way that the staff of the station takes a day off, then | think it would have been a better idea if you had simply signed off the transmitter. Also, | would suggest that you keep this type of music restricted to the bounds of
its proper place: /maginary Landscape.
Finally, | would like to also use this letter to commend you on the excellent interview you did with Frank Zappa two months ago. Be- lieve me, | have heard and read lit- erally hundreds of interviews with that artist and | must jovially declare that yours was the best, most quali- tative, and the only really intelligent interview | have ever heard done with this great man. | am sure that Frank must have really enjoyed it too since this time, he was talking with a true musical expert and not just some “dime a dozen” fanzine muckraker. However, there was one very defini- tive point he made in that interview, and that was his condemnation of the vast majority of so-called “New Music’ as nothing more than insin- cere ‘‘POOT”’ produced by talent- less music professors, struggling to hold on to their tenures at various universities. | just jumped for joy upon hearing this and | couldn't have agreed with him more. Un- fortunately, he forgot to mention how many thousands (or possibly millions) of tax dollars are wasted each year on the salaries to main- tain these worthless ‘‘Poot-Maes- tros” in their positions.
As a closing comment to this letter, | would just like to pass on this firm suggestion concerning the Vexations, and the mindless debacle that was its performance.
PLEASE, DON'T DO IT, OR ANYTHING LIKE IT AGAIN.
Phil of Van Nuys
P.S. No. 1: Next time, try a Rach- maninoff festival.
P.S. No. 2: | hope you don’t have any plans for a performance of Philip Crevier’s ‘Sadist Factory.”
P.S. No. 3: Please bring back “Un- provoked Attack.’’ It was the great- est show ever.
Dear Carl,
Thank you and more for your in- credibly good work. The recent New Music America Festival broadcasts are just one among many programs that I’m very thankful for. | do not think that KPFK’'s programming should be determined by such un- democratic process as counting heads. Yet, if heads are going to be counted, | want my support to go squarely to all music programs, from Mario’s to yours. A question however: are not the Boston symphony con- certs, at times, available on other sta- tions? If yes, is it a good use of KPFK’s time to broadcast them? Suggestion: We now have unbroken news and P.A. every weekday 2-8 pm. This is awfully hard to swallow, especially on coming home from work. An hour of music program- ming, say 5-6 before the news every- day would seem in order.
My love and thanks to all pro- grammers and staff,
Andre Orianne
P.S. Yes, we're aware that come Sept., Tuesdays 4-5 is Tom Nixon— a good start...
Dear KPFK, | have admired KPFK’s progressive programming, especially the “‘teach-
in” series. However, | was disappointed
with the station’s treatment of the Northern Ireland segment. Billed as a ‘‘non-partisan’’ program, | was dis- mayed that there were no represen- tatives of the Unionist viewpoint or of those who do not support para- military or terrorist activities. It is difficult to believe that people with these opinions do not exist in South- ern California. | was shocked at sev- eral of the speakers’ rudeness (in par- ticular, one “gentleman” who called the British information officer ‘a liar’) when in fact several erroneous statements were made by these same speakers.
| have, and will continue to support peaceful means to bring about a reso- lution to theproblems in Northern Ireland.
Violence and terrorism, on any side, is not the solution, but is actually the greatest enemy to the Irish people.
Miriam Maertens Bennett
Dear Al Huebner,
It is easy to recognize that The Health Department is one of the most outstanding and enlightening of KPFK’s fine selection of pro- grams. It presents information of the deepest significance to all of us.
Knowledge of [Biological Warfare] this monstrous conspiracy of evil must be spread far and wide in this country, and throughout the rest of the world.
It may be that, through dedicated people like yourself, we shall realize the truth and use it in taking action to preserve ourselves and our fellow members of humanity.
Phyllis Zakheim
Dear Clare Spark,
| applaud you for reading the article “Zionism from the Standpoint of its Victims.’’ Though it has sent a shock- wave into our community, the article deserves to be acknowledged rather than dismissed by indiscriminate re- flexes of fear and anger. !ts cogent ana- lysis suggests that Zionism be consid- ered as the Jewish version of a roman- tic consciousness that all European people apparently shared. This con- sciousness fostered the idea that Euro- pean civilization was God's gift to the world, an idea that obviously be- came corrupt when it failed to ad- mit that all civilizations are God’s gift to the world. And so countless native people all over the world have been brutally dominated by Euro- pean supremacy—the brave new world wreaking havoc in its path. Under these circumstances | find it very ironical that the religions of Europe have their roots in struggles for liberation. The idea of karma is synoptically illustrated in the tide of meek who inherit the earth and promptly forget about the rest of the meek. | would let that game run down.

Dear People,
{ just read Agnes de Bethune’s res- ponse to Herbert Aptheker’s speech, which | missed, calling for the ban- ning of Nazi and KKK propaganda. lf what Mr. Aptheker said is what you say he said, Mr. Aptheker should heed the oid proverb about people who live in glass houses. He would be si- lenced, too, in a few years.
The Klans and the Brownshirts are uttlerly without redeaming social im- portance, in short—obscene, but the banning of noxious opinions from the air or from print is normally done by people with political power who want to keep it. The administration that banned them for their violent sentiments would have little trouble extending the ban to Marxist com- mentary (there's a lot of that on KPFK) for its ‘‘aid and comfort to international terrorism.” |, for one, wouldn't mind silencing anyone who put in a good word for the PLO. If Mr. Aptheker wants a conservative Congress to start political censorship in this country, he has taken leave of his senses.
James K. Mattis
Feedback
OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 34
Dear Kids,
Oscar Wilde believed that the only thing worse than being talked about was not being talked about. With that in mind, I'd like to congratulate you on finally being talked about in the Calendar section of the Times.
It's a pity, though, that the focus of the article wasn't so much on the recent changes in programming as it was On the way that the changes came about. | think that the responsibility (a nicer word than “‘blame’’) for that lies with Clare Spark.
Clare Spark is a capable program director and | believe that she’s mo- ving the station in the right direction, but she’s also one of the most abra- sive personalities on the air (and ap- parently off) at KPFK. She has a unique ability to impress you and alienate you at the same time. A case in point would be the removal of Hepcats from Hell. \ applaud the de- cision, but the implementation left me feeling sorry for Meltzer.
| prefer to argue issues rather than personalities and | think that Clare Spark’s doing a good job, but | also think that the time will come when she becomes more of a liability than an asset to the station.
In peace,
Alfred J. Lewis

NOTE FROM BERLAND
continued from page 3.
As you may have already heard, the American Legal Foundation has
filed against WPFW, Pacifica’s Wash
ington station, in order to deny their license renewal. The leaders of this foundation have indicated that, if successful, they will consider filing against the other Pacifica stations. This challenge must be answered by Pacifica supporters. We urge you to join the battle to preserve the alter- ° native that Pacifica offers. If you would seek to join the battle by fil- ling some of the job openings avail- able, please write or call for more information and complete job des- criptions.
At press time we have posted an- nouncements for Office Manager/ Volunteer Coordinator, Operations Director, and Development Director. The current salaries are $12,000/ year. The deadline for applications are October 15, 1981. We will be posting soon for Music Director and public affairs producers. We antici- pate a November 15 deadline for those jobs.
In addition to the above-mentioned positions, KPFK will also be hiring some full-time programming staffers in news and public affairs and in mu- sic and the arts.
Listen to KPFK for further no- tice. If you wish to be further in- formed, please write to Jim Berland at KPFK and indicate what type of job you might be interested in. We will send you descriptions when they are issued. Hiring will begin approx- imately November 1, 1981.
It is with sadness that | have accep- ted Carl Stone’s resignation. It is -with pleasure *het | mark .his con- tinued pros:..ce at KPFK as a pro- gramm-=i and advisor. As we havu siated recently, KPFK intends to keep our commitment to our music audience, as well as 19 continue to * reach for new and needed accom- plishments.
In this effort we will be aided by the foundation of accomplishments which Carl, Lois Vierk, and John Wager-Schneider have assembled. Their fine contributions to KPFK
will continue with their programs,
and we all wish them good fortune in the pursuit of their creative ca-
reers.
The increase in live music, the development of our international music, the expansion of our con- tact with local and international artists, and our presence on the van- guard of new music, all are advan- ces which we will not relinquish.
| join with Carl in his determina- tion to promote the welfare of Pa- cifica radio in Southern California. There is no question that we are needed ;ow more than ever.
For Pacifica,
Jim Berland General Manager
JOHN CAGE INTERVIEW
continued from page 13.
RR: This seems to have more to do with what we've discussed as theater.
RA: It seems that the use of “theater” in this connection is a sort of transi- tional definition, to condition people to other possibilities.
JC: And that the experience itself becomes markedly more subjective.
RA: Markedly more subjective and particularly involved with a sort of indefinable sense of where your time information was coming from.
JC: Exactly.
RR: This would certainly take place if one could do away with the ob- vious hierarchy of importances which is usually intended when you come to a musical experience. If the ex- perience is unpurposeful, and undi- rected, then response becomes totally a question of the listener's individual sensitivities and conditioning.
JC: La Monte Young is doing some- thing quite different from what | am doing, and it strikes me as being very important. Through the few pieces
of his I've heard, I've had, actually,
utterly different experiences of lis- tening than I've had with any other music. He is able either through the repetition of a single sound or through the continued performance of a single sound for a period of twenty min- utes, to bring it about that after, say, five minutes, | discover that what |
‘ have all along been thinking was the
same thing is not the same thing af- ter all, but full of variety. | find his work remarkable almost in the same sense that the change in experience
of seeing is when you look through
a microscope. You see that there is something other than what you thought there was. On the other hand, La Monte Young's music can be heard by Europeans as being European. For example, take the repetition of a tone cluster or a single sound at a seem- ingly constant amplitude over, say,
a ten-minute period. The European listener is able to think, ‘Well, that
is what we've always had, minus all the elements of variation.” So they imagine, you see, that something is being done to them, namely a simpli- fication of what they're familiar with. My response is not that he is doing something to me, but that | am able to hear differently than | ever heard.
RR: Do you think that America has yet begun to further its most striking and characteristic resource which you summarize as “its capacity to break easily with tradition, to move easily into the air, its capacity for the un- foreseen, its capacity for experimen- tation’’? Are not some Europeans capitalizing on a limited exploration of what is a fundamentally American impulse?
JC: There are two questions. We are clearly going to have a great deal of lively activity in America, and already are having it. And | also agree that Europeans will be capitalizing on it. What | hope is that the Europeans will become more American.

Bill Payment.
Always send a bill with your check! We cannot credit your account cor- rectly unless we know exactly what your check is paying for. If you send a check for a pledge payment with- out a bill, you might get credit for a new subscription and still be billed for your original pledge.

Within two months, you'll be receiving your com- plete program guide on cassette. The Cassettes are returned to us at the end of each month to be re-used.
Exchange Mailing Lists.
KPFK exchanges and rents its sub- scriber lists to other organizations of common interest (Channel 28, Ralph Nader, ACLU, etc.). If you don’t want to be on exchange mailing lists, send your Folio label to the Subscriptions Department and ask for an ‘“‘NJ"’ code. Your name will then be automatically excluded from all mailings except for the Folio and other communications from us.

Your Folio will NOT be forwarded automatically to your new address. It will be returned to us after a few weeks with your new address on it-- probably not in time for the next Folio! So to avoid missing out, fill out this coupon and return it to us, with your current (old address) label still attached on the reverse side.

Fund Drive Volunteers
If you missed the volunteer meeting on September 29 and can volunteer your help for the Fall Fund Drive, please call Bob Aldrich or Ahna at the station during business hours at 213/877-2711. We'll need to know what hours you'll be free to come in to answer phones or to help stuff en- velopes, or do other support work. Check dates listed in other parts of this Folic for actual fund-raising days. We'll need people after those pitching days to process the subscriptions. And we'll need people in November to do the whole process again. If
you ve got spare time and can give us a hand mornings, afternoons, evenings or nights, weekdays or weekends, give us a Call.
Can You Help Leaflet?
In the past, we've had a rather hap- hazzard set-up for leafletting for KPFK events. If you're available to do leaf- letting, drop us a letter saying what you can do. Let us know if you have
a car, what area(s) you can cover, how many leaflets you can distribute, and how we can contact you (home and work telephone numbers). We'll take care of the rest (probably by setting up the system through the Friends Chapters). This way we'll have a geo- graphic distribution system that we can use to drop leaflets off at a central place and have them go out from there.
