THE MARATHON
The Marathon this year begins on May 1, at 7:00 p.m.,
following the evening News. It will continue, 24 hours a day,
until we reach our goal, which is $125,000 in pledges, or
until Monday, May 18 at the very latest. We hope to be back
to our regular programming by midnight on Friday, May 15.
With your help, it should be possible to reach our goal in just
two weeks. Last May, we were forced to hold a $ 150,000
cash Marathon. It went on for too long, to the eventual distress
and collapse of staff and listeners alike; but we\needed the
cash for the down payment on the Church. This year, things
are a bit better. We can afford to shoot for a $ 125,000
pledge Marathon. This means regular programming will be
resumed as soon as pledges go over the top. But, of course,
for this to be realistic, pledges must be honored with all
due speed.
Last year, the entire Marathon proceeds went for the pur-
chase of the Church: down payment, architects’ fees, mortgage
interest, and the like. As a result, WBAI began the summer
with an operating deficit, which increased during the tra-
ditionally slack summer months, to the point where we now
need about $50,000 just to catch up. And, of course, the
station needs funds to complete the move to the Church. At
present, we are still operating schizophrenically, broadcasting
from 39th Street, with our offices in the basement of the
Church. Not only is this no way to run a radio station, but
we are obligated to complete the move to the Church by this
summer, and we expect to begin actual construction of our
new studios in the Church shortly after the Marathon.
Here is the Budget for the Marathon:

This year, there will be some programming during the Mara-
thon—if the money holds up. The Evening Newscast will be
heard nightly at 6:15, though it may be auctioned off bulletin
by bulletin. Most of the reports from the Pacifica Washington
Bureau will be broadcast, along with Arts Extras, Public
Affairs Specials, and excerpts from live Free Music Store
events.
Notes
FREE MUSIC STORE
The Free Music Store winds up the season with a series of
weekend events from the Church: see Marathon listings on
the following pages for details. We would like to thank a lot
of people, including Jack Romann and Baldwin Piano (who
let us use one of their new concert grands), George Krippen-
stapel (who kept it in tune), Steve von Hasseln, John Ackley
and Ward Bennett (who recorded most of the events), Adam
Griswold (Techie-in-residence), Carol Reich and Liza Cowan
(who helped lots), Mel Greenberg (who helped more than lots),
not to mention all the performers as well as everyone else
who came and took part. The Free Music Store will come
back next fall. In the meantime, we will continue our stereo
broadcasts of the tapes.
OUR THANKS TO CONRAD LYNN
We regret that Conrad Lynn is no longer able to continue
his series of Commentaries over WBAI. Mr. Lynn has other
commitments which take up most of his time. We want to
thank Mr. Lynn for his many years of thought-provoking and
interesting commentaries, and we will welcome him back on
our air at any time.

ART WORK IN THE FOLIO
The cover for the May Folio was created in the nick of
time by our long-time friend and art donor, Ed Renfro, who
has also kindly donated several drawings used throughout the
Folio. Many thanks, Ed. Photographs (used in their contact
state) are by Danny Cornyetz, Paul Busby, and several other
photographers who forgot to sign their works.
Finally, a personal note of thanks to Ben Sommers, without
whom we couldn’t have completed this Folio.

Marathon
Page 6
In closing, I just want to say this will be my fifth Marathon.
In the first one, I didn’t know any better so I thought it was
sort of fun. It was also Mrs. Miller. The second one was a
pain in the neck and Alice’s Restaurant ad infinitum. The
third was a crashing bore, but it was part of my job so I did it.
Last year’s was a total disaster that landed me in the hospital
and taught me to hate Marathons. Quite frankly, I dread this
one more than I dread almost anything else in the world. I will
describe, briefly, some of my more vivid nightmares, in the
hopes that you'll take the clues.
#1. Ten Million Volunteers sleeping in corners and leaving
their half-eaten sandwiches all over the place and pouring
water into the switchboard and refusing to be sweeper. (Clue:
when we need volunteers, we put out a call over the air, so
don’t just walk in, wait for our panicked plea and then call
to offer your assistance).
\
Figs. 1+2.
Volunteers Sleeping th corners.
#2. Pledge-cards out of alphabetical order (which means
that pledgers keep getting billed even after they have sent in
their money), filled in illegibly with felt-tip pens (Clue: when
we need volunteers, it’s usually not to come on down and have
a blast. It’s to do awful, disgusting, menial work, under in-
tolerable conditions with people yelling at you all the time.
Jobs range from the highly-coveted Answering of Phones, to
scraping the slime off the floor, to bouncing well-meaning but
inessential groupies from our gates, to stuffing envelopes).

WBAI
#3. Home-made fried chicken being given to me on the
switchboard during a bingo (nothing you can do about this
one, folks).
#4. Not enough bingos (a bingo is when the whole switch-
board lights up. “The whole switchboard” consists of all of 10
lines, most of which are usually broken) (Clue: keep those
pledges coming, don’t just wait for a matching fund, call during
a program, or when things are particularly boring. You won’t
get a busy signal then. Remember to send in your pledge after-
wards).
#5. Phone calls from parents whose kids have been missing
for days whose last words were “I’ll be at BAI.” (Clue: listen,
greasies, tell your folks where you’re going and when you'll
return, and don’t just come to WBAI because you have no
place else to live for a few days. We're not a hotel or a pad).
#6. Having my scotch tape stolen again
Fig, 10, Keep an cye en Danny,
Fig. 7 Net a hotel.
#7. General Confusion as to the Difference between Pledges
and Money. (Clue: The running total kept during this Mara-
thon will be of pledges and not cash on hand. When we take
your pledge, we assume you will honor it, and that the amount
of actual cash will equal the amount in pledges. However,
there is usually some discrepancy, and this is why we had to
hold subsequent minithons: because less money came in than
was pledged. Some people just like phoning in phony pledges.
We hate them, but there is not much we can really do about
this. Many other well-meaning people simply overpledge.
WBAI
Overpledging is almost as bad as underpledging, so please
keep track of your pledges).
#8. Having too many volunteers when we don’t need them,
and having no volunteers for the first few hours of the Mara-
thon. (Clue: we’ll solve part 1. You can solve part 2 by offer-
ing your services for the first night of the Marathon. To do
this, do absolutely nothing until the last week in April. Then,
phone me at 826-0880 and let me know what hours you’re
free. Especially if you’re the Birnbaums or Jim Bruce).
#9. The BarterDepartment: For better or worse, it will be
reinstituted this year. One reason it was dropped last year
was that it was too confusing to run, and required too much
in the way of personnel and money to follow through ef-
ficiently. However, we’re willing to try again, with the follow-
ing warnings, stipulations and instructions.
—the Barter Department will be operative ONLY during
the Marathon.
—we will put those who offer items and those who take
items (with the money going to WBAI) in touch with one
another by postcard, but after this, you are on your own in-
sofar as arranging for pick-up and delivery of items.
—oddly enough, much of the so-called WBAI inefficiency
in barter was not our fault. We received many phony offers,
who naturally could not be contacted by the people who took
them in good faith. WBAI receives several thousand offers,
and verifying them all is, naturally, impossible.
—therefore, we ask those people who plan to take barter
items to contact the donor and receive the item BEFORE
sending their checks to WBAI. We’re using the honor system
in this respect, and we assume you will send us your money
after receiving the barter item.
—if your barter item does fall through, either because it
was a phony offer, or for other reasons, please do not call
us about it. There isn’t anything we can do—sorry.
—for those of you who plan to offer barter items for sale
over WBAI, please DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUM-
STANCES, bring the item to the station. If it is taken, the
purchaser will contact you.

—the barter department takes no responsibility for barter
items announced and we also retain the right to accept or
reject certain items at our discretion.
—only the person who offers the barter item may use its
value as a tax-deduction, assuming the item is taken.
—in case you are not familiar with the barter procedure,
it will be described ad infinitum and in great detail through-
out the Marathon.
—there will be a special Barter Department phone number
to be used by donors and takers. This number will be an-
nounced frequently during the Marathon. Do not phone the
regular WBAI phone number for barter items.
—while the barter department is offered in the spirit of
fun, there often are some very attractive offers, so it might
pay to take advantage of them. Once again, though, please
don’t call us after the Marathon about barter items, and don’t
send us the money for barter items until you have them.

Figs. 12.+13, The num ber
will be announced.
In closing, I sincerely hope that this Marathon will be clean,
quiet, well-stocked with gourmet food (distributed by Jeanne,
the kitchen lady), and uncomplicated by broken switchboards,
broken bones, ‘lost children, and inability to complete the
Sunday crossword puzzle. On our part, we’ll try to make it
—if not interesting, orderly and short, at least less boring, less
messy and less long. On your part, please help us by pledging
your money, and following up your pledge by sending us your
money. Good luck to us all. be
