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. 


continued on page 35. 


At the Mike 


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, ;

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. 


OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 8 


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

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

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. 


Clare Spark 
Program Director 


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

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.

Thinking 


Pacifica 


These Folio pages from March, 1960 demonstrate how 
times have changed and how Pacifica’s mission was 
expressed in a different time. It is valuable for us to 
consider these differences and similarities, and stimu- 
lating to our current programming efforts to see how 
others interpreted the Pacifica mission.

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-

properties that are nearly identi- 
cal to opiates, such as morphine 
or heroin. They may have a 

role in schizophrenia and de-

Discount stores are not good places 

to go for advice. Market pressures 
force them to recommend components 
for reasons that have nothing to do 
with how well they reproduce music.

information and know-how, wedded 
to a reliable sense of how real, live 
music sounds. Earworks isn’t beholden 
to any manufacturer. We can’t offer

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. Join the Los Angeles

Letters 


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.

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.

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.

Your Subscription 


The Computer. 

Our computer is located in Santa Bar- 
bara. Your payment may not go into 
the computer as quickly as you might 
think because payments go to our 
lockbox and through the bank before 
they are fed into the computer. This 
process often takes more than a week 


from the time you send your payment. 


So, if you send your check by the 1st 
of the month, you may receive the 
Folio for the following month. 


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. 


First Class Folio Mailing. 

The Folio is mailed Second Class, and 
should take 2 to 5 days to get to most 
places. Unfortunately, our experience 
has not been good, especially with 
outlying areas. First Class mailing is 
available for $10 extra per year (pro- 
rated at 85C per month for current 
subscriptions. If you get your Folio 
on time but would like to receive it 
well before the first of the month, 
you may want to get the first class 
service. 

| Didn't Get My Folio. . . 

The Folio is mailed before the 24th of 
the month. If you have not received 
you Folio by the first of the month: 


1) check your subscription expiration 
date on the previous Folio mailing la- 
bel (upper right hand corner of label). 
2) Make sure you haven‘t moved with- 
out notifying us. 3) If you haven't 
moved and are currently enrolled as 

a subscriber, contact your local post- 
master about delivery. 4) Send us a 
previous Folio label with an explana- 
tory note and request a new Folio 

be sent to you. 


Moving—Address Changes. 

If you move, your Folio will not be 
forwarded unless you have requested 
Second Class forwarding from the 
Post Office. The best way to expedite 
an address change and assure contin- 
ued receipt of the Folio is to contact 
us in writing 6 weeks before you 
OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 38 


move, giving us your name, old zip- 
code, and new address. There is an ad- 
dress form on the back page of the 
Folio that you can clip: it already has 
your current mailing label on its back. 
Always include your account number 
at the top of your Folio label for in- 
stant handling. Address changes that 
we get back from the Post Office cost 
us 25¢ apiece. Changes can take 8 
weeks to affect your account. 


Prisoner Subscriptions. 
KPFK sends a free subscription to 
any prisoner upon request. 


Cassette Folios for the Print 
Handicapped. The Folio is available 
on Cassette (returnable) to all print 
handicapped subscribers. If you'd 
like to get the Cassette Folio, please 
tear off the address label on the back 
of your Folio and send it along with 
a note (or you may call). 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.

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.
