Also found in this series are other events and programs on subjects related to the contemporary art world of Southern California, and other Palm Springs local programs, which may be present due to the practice of recycling audio tape. These include an additional lecture by Edward Biberman, a slide lecture by Charles White, a Los Angeles Art Association anniversary event, a lecture an performance by composer Henri Tamianka, and a lecture by an unknown speaker on the topic of Early Western Artists.  Additional local programs found include a candidate forum, a weekly report by local congressman John Tunney, and a teen program broadcast on KPAL.
