Fall Term Enrollment Starts Now
The three plans, submitted by Mr. Kilman after a vote had been taken among members of the editorial board of the Telescope, consisted of: Jane Gair to act as editor; Tom Gable to act as editor; and thirdly, for the Telescope to continue the rest of the semester under an editorial board with no editor per se. Gable withdrew his name when he found the hours conflicted with his job at the San Diego Union.
To Reserve Places In Crowded Classes Pre-registration for the Fall Semester 1963-64 is now available to students presently enrolled in Palomar. The pre-registering will enable the administration to reserve places for these students in the classes. Classes are expected to be very crowded so students are urged to register early if they wish to obtain the classes they prefer. If students enroll now and then change their minds during the vacation, they should chang~ their schedules as soon as possible after August 15, the date on which registration will be opened to incoming high school graduates and students not previously enrolled at Palomar. There are two plans for reserving classes. The explanation of these plans have been made available to interested students in the administration ' building. In plan A, ASl3 .cards must be purchased before counceling appointments are kept. In Plan B, ASB cards must be purchased on or before September 1 or reservations will be canceled. Appointments can be made beginning immediately in the Student Personnel Office. Students majoring in speech , science, math , or music must see their respective Department heads to have their program approved.

PC Choir And Band Finish School Tour, Set Concert Soloists To Be Featured In Program Scheduled For May 29 In Student Union Palomar College's 40 voice choir and 35 Piece band has completed their annual high school tour and are now rehearsing for the spring concert this month. Each year the band and choir are invited to attend various high schools in the county. This year they visited Ramona, Vista, Fallbrook, San Marcos, San Dieguito and Poway High Schools. The program this year featured vaious solos from both groups. Eddie Gehren, better known as Eddie Little, augmented the choir with his solos of "I Believe," "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," "The Stars Were Shinning Brightly" from opera 'La Tosca' by Puccini "Come Back From Sorrento." Howard Manning on the recorder and Vincent Cleveland on the tuba soloed "Acapulco. " Jerry Gibbs, Gail Simons, and Issac Lopez enlightened the program with their rendition of "Three Blind Mice" performed with clarinets. A few selections performed by the choir include "Yes,
Indeed," "The Nightingale," "I hear A Voice A 'Praying'," "South Pacific," "Alleluia," and "Tenebrae Facte Sunt." The band performed "Gallito," "Malguania," "Riffin the Blues," "Bossa Nova," "Marcho Poco," and Elegy for Moderns." Singing and playing instruments may seem simple as such, but new problems are faced by the choir md band at each school. The problems of acoustics are always on hand - some schools may have a microphonic system, some may not. They may perform in large auditoriums or gyms where the acoustics seldom do anyone justice, or in some small cramped cafeterias as was the case at San Marcos High School. The audience itself may be a large problem. High school audiences, as a whole are seldom appreciative and respectful. But Palomar College still performs for them , if only to gain experience and tolerance. The choir and band still pull through and they seem to perform thoroughly for the enjoyment of music.
