Fiesta Mexicana—FANTASTICO!THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 2 LEMON TREE BAZAAR, 15300 San Fernando Mission Boulevard, From 11 in the morning until 11 in the evening, will be one of the most exciting folk festivals yet produced by Radio Station KPFK - a 12 hour extravaganza of Mexican and Chicano music, dance, drama, traditional food, arts and crafts and beer and wine.

Page 7FILM of the MONTH: The HustlerRobert Rossen's The Hustler is brilliant on so many levels that we couldn't resist rescuing it from television and giving our members a proper screening. The performances by Paul Newman, Piper Laurie, George C. Scott, Jackie Gleason and others are breathtaking, the characters memorable and heartbreaking, the story credible and absorbing. The image of evil presented by Scott, particularly in his inaudible conversation with Piper Laurie, has outlasted any number of generals, scientists, and flim-flam men whom he later personified. The Hustler is a particularly "American" film in its preoccupation with winners and losers, and the expression of that obsession on the green field of the pool table. Even if you have seen this film before, we think that in the days of Watergate it provides a unique insight into the morality of success in the United States. SATURDAY, June 15 - Noon SUNDAY, June 16 - Noon At the New Vagabond Theater, 2509 Wilshire Blvd. (9 blocks east of Vermont). Seating by reservation, as space allows. Phone KPFK at 980-5735, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., beginning Wednesday the 12th. Reservation list leaves the station Friday, 6 p.m. Have your FOTMC card number ready when you call. The card must be shown at the theater as well.

There is a 50-cent service charge for guests in those months when we incur extraordinary expenses for film rental. This charge is waived for guests of 3729 Club members. If space permits, extra guests may be possible. Check with us on Friday afternoon. Page 8monday evening concertsHighlightsFor the past 36 years, one of the most imaginative and forward-looking chamber music series in the world has taken place right here in Los Angeles. Monday Evening Concerts has presented over the years hundreds 0f important performances. many 0f them world premieres, 0f works by such 20th century composers as Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Ives, Varese, and Hindemith, as well as reviving neglected compositions by such past masters as Perotin, Dufay, Schuetz, Monteverdi, and Bach. Under the knowledgeable guidance of Peter Yates, Lawrence Morton, and most recently, Dorrance Stalvey, Monday Evening Concerts has established and continued a worldwide reputation for performing excellence and programming audacity. So it is with great pleasure, and indeed, pride, that KPFK announces that the 1973-74 season of Monday Evening Concerts has been recorded in its entirety and will be heard on twelve consecutive Wednesday evenings at 8:30 p.m. beginning June 12. For their special contributions to overcoming the many legal, financial, technical and aesthetic difficulties involved, thanks to Barbara Kraft, Mark Rosenthal, Frederick Ampel, and of course, Dorrance Stalvey, who was ever patient, cooperative and encouraging. —David Cloud, Music Director A Technical NoteFor the audiophiles in our listening audience — all of the Monday Evening Concerts and the Boston Symphony Orchestra programs (beginning with the June 4 broadcast) have been recorded with the Dolby "A" noise reduction system. The tapes will be decoded at the time of broadcast for maximum signal-to-noise ratio (no special equipment is necessary to receive these broadcasts). We hope that the resulting reduction of background tape hiss (up to 10 db) in these live-in-concert recordings will make them even more realistic and enjoyable, and we welcome your comments on the technical quality of these broadcasts. KPFK thus becomes the third FM station in the country to broadcast on a regular basis live music recordings made with the Dolby system (the others, if you're curious, are WCRB in Boston and WFMT in Chicago). Page 9Impeachment Alert!This month, your subscription to KPFK becomes your electronic ticket to the Impeachment Process. As soon as the House Judiciary Committee begins open hearings, the energies and the focus of staff and volunteers, on the air and off, will concentrate on providing the most complete coverage available on the entire spectrum of the electronic media. When we went to press, it was difficult to predict the exact course of events in Washington. That is why we chose to program the entire month as if we were not allowed access to the hearings. But it now looks as if most of the daytime programming will be "pulled" so that we can bring you the following line-up:
Don't forget to display the IMPEACHMENT ALERT Bumper Sticker enclosed in this month's Folio. Of course, all times are tentative and subject to change. And on the days the committee doesn't meet listen to "Impeachment Desk" at 6:45 p.m., from Washington. Page 10AlternativesDo you feel as if your options are processed, pre-packaged and shelved like soap in a supermarket? That THE SYSTEM has you by your short (or long) hairs? Locked in? For the past several months, KPFK has been offering a variety of programs on a regular basis that focus on how to become more independent from the established corporate way of life. On Mondays at 4:00 p.m., Milli Martinez talks about food, nutrition, and ways to prepare, inexpensively and tastefully, just about everything from A to Z (or from bread to yoghurt). Fridays at 4:00 p.m., Wina Sturgeon presents a survival-oriented program dealing with a multitude of other choices you have in lifestyles. Wina raises much of her food, sews her family's clothes, keeps the bicycles in shape, the herbs blooming, KCET's L.A. Collective supplied with features, and our phone lines humming. For our freeway life, The Car Show, Saturdays at 12:30, provides information on how to keep your four-wheeled beast in shape, tune it up, feed it right, and gives you enough time to get to the local parts supply store before it closes, to get the job done. Although this program features open phones, we have heard reports of listeners under the hood and beneath the wheels, and we concede that holding a receiver in your hand at the same time, might pose a dilemma. This month, we are offering in addition to the regular on-going programs, a range of options in a variety of areas. As a general rule of thumb, these programs are scheduled on Mondays at 7:30 p.m. and on Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. and they spotlight new ways of organizing and servicing people according to their own needs; the needs of survival such as health, food, law; the needs of a complex technological society such as media, labor, education. You'll be listening to all this on Pacifica Radio, an alternative in media. Page 11saturday 18:00 TRANS.
