Lohman and Barkley, Brophy appear today Rad io's comedy team of Al Loh man a nd RDger Barkley will appear today and tonight to conclude acti viti es of the Communicati ons Media Wee k. Perhaps the most successful DJ team in the co untry because of their popular KFI Los Angeles radio show, Lohman and Barkley will speak of their experiences in radio a nd television to Palomar student at 3 p.m. in room P-32. The Lohman and Barkley Show will be presented in the evening at 7:30 in room G5 on campus. "The comedy / variety format is inherited from their outrageous television shows which gained for th em , in the past, four Emmys," says Dick Peacoc k, curriculum coordinator for the Communications Media Region. Over scram bled eggs a nd toast or perhaps stuck in the early morning flow of steel molasses on the freeway, close to a million Lohman a nd Barkley radio fan s tune into the 6 to 10 a.m. show daily. Lohman and Barkley's success stems partly from their ability to work so well together. " It's like a marriage," says Barkley. Lohman says separately, "It's like a marriage . We work t hings out. Probably a lot of marriages would last lon ger if the husband and wife had to do fo ur hours of radio every morning." Without the help of a script, Lohman and Barkley weave their " off the cuff' comedy routines around records, news and commercials. Throughout the year, l.hey h ave created over 40 on-the-air ch a racters which appear off and on according to whim. "The curious thing about the Lohman a nd Barkley characters is that after a time, they become real people with distinct personalities and real pasts," writes the Los Angeles Tim es. "The characters grow organically, if perhaps backwards out of momentary onthe-air inspiration. Lohman and Barkley never keep records ; they never write anything down. In fact, t hey tend to for get certain ch aracters a nd the things they've done . Occasionally, a character will

disappear from the show for weeks at a time." Two of their favorite characters are Ted and his wife W. "They are the most fleshed out, the most real," says Barkley. Ted , a " Huma n Interest Man," is rich. He h as been a lecturer, author, poet and pira te . He was also president for a month ; h is brief administration sandwiched between Coolidge and Hoover. During his time in office, Ted decided to h a ve a wa r with Spain , but since it was his own idea, h e decided to buy all the bombs himself, believing it unsportsm a nlike to ask the public to pay for the president's person al a musements. He soon tired of the job and stepped down. Ted was formerly married to Salome Balogna, but when he joined the Lohman and Barkley staff he met and subsequently married W. Eva Schneider. For a while Ted and W.lived in a hole in Encino. They planned to build a house over the hole, but then Ted got tired ofliving in the city and decided to move to the suburbs. He settled on a tree house in Brawley a nd bought a used fire truck to make the drive . Besides their radio program, Lohman and Barkley are in constant demand for ni ght club and public service appearances as well as charity events. They participate annually in the National Leukemia Radiothon and the celebrity golf tournament for the ben efitofthe Los Angeles Police Department. Their plans for th e fut ure are as spontaneous as their next joke. According to Barkley, " We are presently grooming our children to take over th e Lohman and Barkley show. We foresee the L&B show becoming a family tradition to be passed down through the generations and estimate that there will be at least 150 more year s or 15 more decades of fun while Lohman and Barkley sit back and live off the royalties of our patented wit in an old age home." The Lohman and Barkley show presented on the final eveningofthe college Communication Media Week is open to the public at no ch arge . For further information call 7441150 or 727-7529.
