A TOUR of NICARAGUA

KPFK is organizing a tour of Nicaragua which will allow you to learn first hand of the complexities and accomplishments of the Nicaraguan Revolution.

10 Days, 9 Nights Complete Tour Includes:

Transportation by Air from Los Angeles and return

(Western and Lanica Airlines) All Hotels (First Class, except where unavailable) All Meals

Transportation inside Nicaragua Service and visa charges

The tour will be accompanied by Interpreter/Guides from Los Angeles, and will be preceded by an orientation meeting two weeks before leaving.

THE TOUR COSTS: $1,178. This includes a $200 tax -deductable contribution to KPFK.

THE TOUR LEAVES LOS ANGELES May 28, 1981 and RETURNS June 6, 1981.

There will also be an extension of the tour for 4 days and 3 nights to the isolated East Coast of Nicaragua. This area, called Biuefields, was settled by the British 200 years ago. It was uninvolved in the Revolution and represents a sharp contrast to the rest of the country. Accomodations there are not excellent, but the trip is very interesting. .

The Folio is not sold, it is sent free to each subscriber supporting non-profit, non-commer- cial KPFK, and contains the most accurate possible listings of the programs broadcast. Subscriptions to KPFK are S30 per year, and are transferrable to the other Pacifica stations. Our Transmitter is on Mt. Wilson. We broadcast in stereo multiplex with 25 microsecond pre emphasis.

KPFK is a member of the Association of California Publio Radio Sta- tions and the National Federation of Community Broadcasters.

Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Lois Vierk came to California in 1970 to attend the University of California at Los Angeles. Her interest in music was motivated at an early age by her family. She would often sit at the family piano and make up her own pieces. Finally, at the age of twelve, she began to study privately.

When she arrived in Los Angeles, she studied Gagaku (Japanese court music) with Suenobu Togi. Suenobu Togi's family have been musicians for the Emperor of Japan since the ninth century, and Togi-sensei is the first member of the fa- mily ever to leave the court. Lois has studied Xheryuteki, which is a Japanese bamboo flute, for the last ten years, and she still rehearses and performs regularly with the UCLA Gagaku ensemble.

After receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974, Lois took composition les- sons and learned to become a dance accompany ist. Then, from 1976 to 1978 she attended the California Institute of the Arts to study composition and conducting. After graduating with a Masters' Degree in 1978, she spent that summer at Tangle- wood. Upon her return, she eventually landed a job at KPFK that consisted of general work in the Music Department with Carl Stone. Her duties are coatinuous- ly expanding. In September of 1979, she started doing on-the-air programming with Morning of the World, which now airs on Saturday mornings from 6:00 to 7:30. Her other programming duties include the fascinating live ethno-music con- certs known as The World Series.

In 1979 Lois also received a fellowship which took her to the American Dance Festival at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. She participated in a workshop with three choreographers and two other composers creating dance works for the students to perform. Lois is also a founding member of the Los Angeles Independent Composers' Association, which has presented many concerts, some of which featured pieces by Lois.

Most of Lois' compositions are written for multiples of the same instrument, such as pieces for six male voices, three clarinets, six trombones, and two key- boards. At the recent CalArts Contemporary Music Festival, her composition Trombone for eighteen trombones was per- formed. Druing April, her piece entitled Song for Three Clarinets was performed at the Los Angeles County Art Museum's Monday Evening Concerts series. This May, her piece Inverted Fountain for six trombones will be performed at the Ojai Music Festival. That same piece was also recently performed at the New York First National Congress on Women in Music.

Lois Vierk 's musical activities are many and varied, and this variety of experience is a contribution to KPFK that cannot be measured.

May Day Hoot

OCAW Health & Safety

Spring Fund Drive

During the late '40s, the Hootenannies, conceived and presented by People's Songs, Inc. across the land, reached their highest point. The awful chill of McCarthyism, coupled with a neg- lect of People's Songs on the part of progressive and labor organizations (that failed to see People's Songs as a political issue in itself), led to the disbanding of that great group of singers, musicians, and composers. Many, however, carried on— and are still carrying on. Out of that tradi- tion comes the Woodie Guthrie Chap- ter of People's Songwriters; and this talented group is presenting an old- fashioned May Day Hootenanny at KPFK Friday night. May 1 from 8 to 10 pm in Studio Z. This Hoot will take place before a live audience and everyone is invited to come and join in the singing. The program pro- ducer is Jerry Atinksy. Among the participants will be The Los Angeles Women's Community Chorus; Vem Partlow; Peter Alsop; Alison Pick- ering; Elizabeth Elder; Pearl White- 3w; Ross Altman; Lenny and Crick- et Potash; Primero de Mayo Group, and others. Mario Casetta, one of the original organizers of People's Songs, and KPFK's Public Relations Director and popular ethnic music programmer, will be master of cere- monies. Be sure to make reservations for (free) seats by calling 213/877- 271 1 during business hours.

On Saturday, May 2 at 1 1 am, KPFK will participate in a national broad- cast on the subject of minority work- ers and occupational health and safe- ty, in conjunction with the Oil, Chem- ical, and Atomic Workers' Union. The show will originate in Chicago, with phone-ins from all across the country. Local minority workers can make their calls through KPFK; they will then be relayed to Chicago. From 12 noon to 1 pm, KPFK will host a local panel of health and safe- ty experts who will discuss issues of relevance and take phone calls from local workers. Industries under dis- cussion will include oil, rubber, uranium mining, pesticides, pharm- aceuticals, and plastics.

The second (and final) installment of our Spring Drive takes place Sunday May 10-Sunday May 24. Our goal of $150,000 should be in sight by that time, thanks to the continued sup- port of our loyal listener sponsors, and with the addition of many new subscribers. This month the program- ming stays fairly close to regular sche- dule, but with some specials which should prove to be stimulating to the ears. Please check the listings to find out about these programs. Fund- raising times have been Included In the listings so that you'll be on top of our programming as it happens. It's just one of the large number of advantages of being a KPFK listener- sponsor!

You are invited to parti- cipate in this event by coming to our Studio Z to listen and ask ques- tions. Seating is limited, so make reservations (free) by calling 213/ 877-271 1 during business hours.

Look for some thought-provoking special programs on civil liberties and censorship during the two weeks of our May Fund Drive. The first week. The Afternoon Air (Monday- Friday, May 11-15) will be devoting some time to the FBI, with docu- mentaries and interviews, including a serialization of ex -agent Jack Lcvine's reminiscences. More on Monday, the 18th on the Afternoon Air; that evening, there will be specials on the Ku Klux Klan, anti- Klan activity, and the music of pro- test. Tuesday, the 19th, an examina- tion of McCarthyism in the '80s and the dangers of apathy (after- noon and evening). On Wednesday, May 20 at 6:30 pm. Music Director Carl Stone and Cultural Affairs Di- rector Paul Vangelisti take an in- depth look at Censorship in the Arts. The following evening (May 21, 6:30 pm). Program Director Clare Spark and KPFK department heads tackle the question Is There Censorship at KPFK? and discuss the relationship of civil liberties to KPFK's program- ming. With listener phone-ins.

Monday, May 1 1 , at 8:30 pm. Chapel, Court, and Countryside presents harp- sichoidist Edward Parmentier in re- cital from our Studio Z. An all-French Baroque program is scheduled; Mr. Parmentier will be performing on a French double harpsichord built by William Dowd. In addition, he will be discussing the music and instru- ments of the period wnh Joseph Spencer, host of Chapel, Court, and Countryside.

On Saturday, May 23, at 8:00 pm, William Malloch hosts pianist Peter Nagy in recital, also in Studio Z. Mr. Nagy will make his American concert debut at the Ojai Festival May 30, so KPFK audiences are priveleged to be treated to this special preview perfor- mance. The program will include works by Brahms, Bartok, and Soproni. The public is cordially invited to at- tend either or both of these very spe- cial free recitals. Be sure to make re- servations by calling 213/877-2711 during business hours. KPFK is lo- cated at 3729 Cahuenga Blvd. West in North Hollywood, just off the Lankershim exit of the Hollywood Freeway.

Film

of the Month

-it \^mfst

May Film: We are hoping to have a film for the second weekend in May (9-10). The film we hope to get is a Spanish film entitled Black Brood (Camada Negra), a brilliant explora- tion of fascism and the family. Re- member that we make air announce- ments several times a day, and always before the 9 am and 6 pm news, for a week prior to the Thursday reser vations session. We'll be happy to notify you personally of films not in Xhe Folio, if you send us a bundle of regulation postal service stamped (12 cent) post cards.

—Our preview prints usu.illy are the distributors' own press screening prints, new and unblemished.

—Screenings are scheduled to maximize ease of parking, and minimize inter- ference with other activities.

—Lest we forget, you're making a tax -deductible contribution to KPFK, which will get maximum mileage from your donation (no frills) and you'll be seeing fine movias for free!

To join, see subscription coupon on page 37, or stay tuned during the fund drive May 10-24.

Report to the Listener

MONEY.

KPFK is facing a serious challenge. By the time you read this you will know (if you listen) how we are doing in meeting that challenge. The challenge is to give ourselves an immediate boost to meet and exceed the increased demands which the rapidly changing world is placing upon us. We have com- pleted half of our Spring "Declara- tion of Independence." We are grate- ful for the support of those of you who have joined us anew, and we stress the need- for those of you who have been supporting '<PFK to explore new and more active ways for you to express your support.

Friends of KPFK is the focus of that attempt. KPFK is the best- kept secret in Southern California. We believe that we have hit upon a way of changing that, and we urge you to participate. Friends chapters have begun forming all over Southern California. I urge you to call and find out about their activity and pitch in. By contributing a small amount of time and energy, each of us, together, can make a major im- pact upon the health of the station. If each new chapter is able to add twenty (20) new subscribers each month, we could finally succeed in breaking the 20,000 subscriber limit. Our elusive stability has been bought at the cost of little or no investment in equipment, low salaries, and miniscule bud- gets for programming.

We have been making progress: there are more subscribers now than two years ago; our debt is smaller, we spend less time fending off creditors. But we have not broken through yet. I hope this Spring Drive will begin that break- through, and that Friends of KPFK will be the instrument. If you can help, in any way, or if you have questions, call Mario Casetta at KPFK.

Programming.

We are contemplating some signi- ficant changes in KPFK program- ming. As we consider these changes we would like to have your feed- back. We will pay careful attention to your comments. The changes which are contemplated would in- crease the amount of news and pub- lic affairs programming as well as cultural programming, and some- what reduce and shift our music programming.

As the public radio climate has shift- ed and as times have changed, it has become clear that we are devoting

precious little of our evening and weekend time to news and public affairs, and a small amount to non- musical cultural programming. Among the unsolicited mail that we receive, the most persistant com- plaint is that people who work 9 to 5 Monday through Friday do not have access to the bulk of our pro- gram offerings.

The exact shape of the change has not been determined, nor the speed with which we will undertake it. It is our serious attempt to meet the changing needs of our times. We will appreciate your letters commenting on the preferences which you have.

For Pacif ica.

This statement was originally part of a Pacifica grant proposal to study unity and conflict in the U.S. since World War II. It lays out the framework for analysis which will inform program devel- opment here at KPFK. I offer it to you for your comment and criticism.

Unity, Conflict, and the Modern State: Some New Ways to Think about Social Movements on Pacifica Radio

By Carl Boggs and Clare Spark

The ruder laborers of Europe are welcome here, but we urge you to assimilate quickly or face a quiet but sure extermination. If you insist on retaining your alien ways, you will share the fate of the American Indian. Scienlific American, 1869

About one half of our poor can neither read nor write, have never been in any school, and know little, positively nothing, of the doctrines or the Christian religion, or of moral duties, or of any higher pleasures than beer drinking and spirit drinking, and of the grossest sensual indulgence.... They have unclear, indefinable ideas of all around them; they eat, drink, breed, work, and die; and while they pass through their brute-like existence here, the richer and more intelligent classes are obliged to guard them with police and standing armies, and to cover the land with prisons, cages, and all kinds of receptables for the perpetra- tors of crime. I It can be shown that I schoolhouses are cheaper than jails, and teachers and books are better security than handcuffs and policemen.

Professor |ohn L. Hart, 1879

/ have long had an image in my mind of what constitutes liberty. Suppose that I were building a great piece of powerful machinery. ...Liberty for the several parts would consist in the best possible assemb- ling and adjustment of them all, would it not? If you want the piston of the ■ma- chine to run with absolute freedom, give it absolutely perfect alignment and ad- justment with the other parts of the machine, so that it is free, not because it is alone or isolated, but because it has been associated most skillfully and care- fully with the other parts of the great structure. ...The locomotive runs free I only when adjusted! to the forces she must obey and cannot defy.

Wood row Wilson, 1913

As we look at the development of advanced capitalist societies in the West over the past fifty years or so— and especially since the end of World War 1 1 -we are above all im- pressed by the degree to which the state has emerged as the focal point of both national unity and social conflict. It is the state, as the main agency of centralized political power and ideological persuasion, that in- creasingly provides the foundations of legitimacy (popular support), the mechanisms for industrial advance, and the instruments of social con- trol. This contrasts with earlier pha- ses of capitalist growth when the laissez-faire state played a relatively minor role in organizing political, economic, and social activities. To- day, "the warfare/welfare state" functions to direct and regulate the economy in many ways; through overall planning and establishment of investment priorities; through fiscal and monetary policies; through coordination of various institutions and activities, through the control of important domestic and foreign policy-making, etc.

We do not suggest that the mod- ern state has evolved in response to a ruling-class plot, that the state is monolithic, or that it reflects the uncontested will of a "committee of the bourgeoisie." Maurice Zeitlin has stated the case succinctly;

Everywhere, late capitalism is now char- acterized by the extensive intervention of the state. The relative independence of the slate and economy and of civil society and the state, which once con- stituted the distinctive hallmark of capi- talism in the West, has eroded histori- cally at an accelerating pace. Such in- tervention is a response to popular strug- gles, on one hand, and the contradictory demands of capital, on the other. With the ascendance of a small number of units of capital that are now decisive in the entire productive process, the re- verberations of their competitive struggle and the scope of the social consequen- ces of their activities require active reg- ulation by the state. It intervenes to reg- ulate demand and create profitable out- lets for private investment, stabilize

wages and prices, and increasingly so- cialize the costs of private accumula- tion. Labor, too, as it becomes cen- tralized in large unions and, as in Eur- ope, organized irrto its own political parties, increasingly strives to realize its class interests through state policy, such as social welfare, full employment programs, public health and medical services, low<ost housing, and redis- tributive policies in general. Thus the state's expanding activities have been impelled by and are the distorted re- flection of the struggle between labor and capital for the realization of their contradictory interests through- the state ....The expanded jurisdiction of the state over society under contemporary capi- talism tends increasingly to convert class relations, once again (as under feudalism), into explicitly political relations and to repoliticize civil society. Class and state are again transparently connected. Not an invisible hand but representative po- litical authority is increasingly held res- ponsible for "man's fate" under late ca- pitalism. The question can now be put historically: not whether the political economy shall be governed self-conscious- ly, but how and by whom and for what social objectives.

To carry out its directive func- tions effectively, state power relies upon science, technology, and above all, bureaucracy. This logic has pro- duced a more "rationalized" system of domination that politicizes (as Zeitlin notes) every sphere of so- cial existence, "a society in which men are the managed personnel of a garrison state" (C. Wright Mills). Bureaucracy has grown not only within distinctively political insti- tutions, but also vvithin the corpor- ations, the military, the labor unions, the universities and schools, and the mass media. This logic, too, involves an expanded role for technocratic forms of knowledge and expertise, and thus for scientists, technicians,

OIL, CHEMICAL, AND ATOMIC WORKERS' UNION MEETING OF THE AIR

Saturday, May 2, 1 1 am

KPFK, in cooperation with the Health and Safety Department of OCAW, Tony Mazzocchi, Director, is taking part in a national broadcast on the subject of minority workers and occupational health and safety. The first hour will originate from Chicago, with phone calls from minority workers in Los Angeles being relayed to Chicago through KPFK. The panel of ex- perts taking the phone calls consists of Carolyn Bell, industrial hygienist, Morris Davis, labor lawyer; Dr. Harold Freeman, cancer expert; and Rafael Maure, industrial hygienist for OCAW.

The second hour will originate from KPFK and will feature a local panel of health and safety experts who will take phone calls from local minori- ty workers.

Why is this show about minority workers? According to OCAW, "Due to factors such as discriminatory employment and placement policies, minority workers often get the dirtiest, hottest, most polluted and most stressful I jobs of those available. As a result, the occupational injury and disease rate among minority workers is notable higher than among white workers. "

Among the questions which might be discussed in this forum are: —Do blacks have a higher rate of cancer than whites, and can it be attri- buted to occupational factors?

—What can be done to protect the largely Chicano group of uranium miners in the Albuquerque area to prevent a recurrence of the lung can- cer epidemic facing the Native American uranium miners of the 1960's? —How should workers respond to new company policies of genetic screening? For example, employers of OCAW members are trying to use genetic screening tests to
