Chamber Singers in concert Sunday Palomar College's Chorale of 45 voices and the College Chamber Singers with 24 voices, will be presented in "A Concert of Four Glorias," at 3 p.m. Sunday, at Mission San Luis Rey. The choral groups will be accompanied by a profess ional symphony orchestra from the Musicians Association of San Diego, most of them members of the San Diego Symphony. Joe Stanford, chairman of the Music Department, is conductor. Jam es Hoffm an, general manager of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, has se lected the orchestra personnel who will play for the program . Stanford, in his sixth year on the college music faculty, founded the Chamber Singers when he first came to the college, and organized the Palomar Chorale las t September. The latter group is making its first public appearance in thi s concert. Stanford said the program is composed of four musical compositions on the ancient Latin text, "Gloria in Excelsis Deo. '' The works to be pe rform ed are Palestrina "Gloria" from "Missa Iste Confessor;" Monteverdi "Gloria Concertata;" Vivaldi "Gloria," and Poulenc "Gloria." "All the composititons will be performed in Latin in order to maintain the beauty of the melody-text relations hip," Stanford said . "An English trans lation will be provided for the listeners.'' Stanford said, "JaDene Dugas, an e mploye of Palomar College, will sing the soprano solo in the Poulenc 'Gloria , ' a work that is quite demanding and for which her voice is espec ia ll y well suited. She has appeared in many musical prociuctions in the North County. " Other soloists inc lude DeLynn Ketchersicie, Sheran Gallipeau, Mary Thomas, and Tina Boyer, sopranos; Steve Phelps, bass; Gle n Smith, Larry Manley, and Jim Hoier, tenors. Stanford pointed out that the histor-
ically-noted Mission San Luis Rey, an important North County cultural center, "is especially appropriate to the music being performed on this program. The acoustical nature of the sanctuary is like that of a cathedral in that the sound r eve rberates in the room after the tone has stopped." Accompanists who have assisted in the preparation for the concert include Mildred Nydegger, piano and music literature instructor, and James Weld, also on the music faculty at the college; Camille Armstrong, and Victor Peiffer. The public is invited to attend the concert and there is no admission charge.
Quentin Keynes, world traveler, explorer and cameraman, will be presented in a lecture and film commentary at Palomar College, room P-32, at 8 p.m . January 17. He will show the motion picture, "The Zambezi, I Presume," which he produced while retracing the route of Dr. David Livingstone in the second of his three great expeditions in Africa, 100 years ago, to explore the meandering Zambezi. Keyne's travel film begins at Livingstone's birthplace in Scotland, proceeds to Africa, includes amazi ng views of Victoria Falls, Livingstone's greatest discovery, and portrays other outstanding scenes and seldom-photographed places and people in that continent.
Proposal made for auditorium Hopes have been reborn for a North County Theater Arts auditorium to be built on land provided by Palomar. As qutlined r ecently by Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president ofPalomar, the project would be funded via a joint powers procedure which directs monies towards recreational activities. A small amount of funds would be assessed by each of the school districts and communities involved through this m ethod. An investiga tion of the possibilities of building such a facility was approved by the college trustees. Mentioned as probable r evenue sources for the project were Palomar Foundation, the Greater San Luis Rey Planning and Development Council and certain community members who have helped in past attempts at this proj ect. Since there are some unincorporated areas wi thing the Palomar district, their lack of taxing ability could force intervention from San Diego County.
The lecturer, a great-grandson of Charles Darwin, was born in London and educated in both England and the United States. Constant travels have taken him throughout this country, Europe, Asia and Africa . He has given his programs of films and commentary before many leading universities and societies, including the National Geographic Society, Washington; Harvard Club, Boston; Academy of Science, Philadelphia; New York Zoological Society; New York Museum of Natural History; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Eton College, England, and Oxford University Exploration Club. The program is one in a series sponsored by the college Community Services Department, and is open to the public without charge .

Computers can create confusion By Guy Kennedy "Did you want something, George?" "Ah yes, HAL. Why did you decide that the Ace Grocery Company needs two more workers to handle six less crates of Avocados?" "Is that all, George?" "Well, no. You also dete rmined that Popskisies' Chicken Ranch needed 400 more hens to justify the new he lp it put on ?" "Well, George, you feci m e information as follows ... " This might well be the verbalized conversation between one of the Re gional Occupational Program c ompute r students having a rap session with HAL, the ne w IBM ll30 compute r system in room A-73, the Palomar computer cente r. This new unit not only works out a solution for the problem, but can justify its answer to the curious. "This new unit more than doubles the data processing anci training capabilities of the ROP computer programing course at Palomar," Dean Walter Brown, vocational training department head, said recently . "The course, itself, is ta ilored to enable the student to obtain employment as a computer technician within two semesters, one year of study at Palomar." "In this course, " Tom Dolan, day instructor for the program, explained '•we give the student an e ntire year of in-hand work with the computer. This not only entails programming, but also key punching and problem solving." We end up with an individual well trained for his role, not just a simple programmer. "The program is directed toward business and related functions . Though some of It is applicable to science and industry. But the big emphasis Is on business, large, small and In-between. Through a survey it was determined that some fifty jobs a day go unfilled in Southern California in the business segment of the economy, simply due to lack of qualified appliQants,'' Dolan explained enthusias-
tically. "The systems and languages we teach here will e nable the student to apply for these jobs, without reservations of undue considerations. "This course is the direct result of many long hours of thought and planning by Dean Brown and myself. We collected information and data from many sources, analyzed, and determined what we should teach here that would be the most beneficial for the students. And
then we would start the whole process over again to make sure that we had eliminated anything superfluous. "We had to justify each and every item before obtaining funds for this course," Dolan said, minimizing his part in setting up the program . "The end result was a tough, lean course funded by the county through ROP and the vocational departm e nt and administered by Dean Coutts." (Continued on page 3)

Graphic arts • displayed ID media prints A display of 54 prints, representing a cross-section of varied styles and media in this country, Europe and South America , makes up the January show at Dwight Boehm Gallery. The exhibit, published by the International Graphic Arts Society in 1967, 1968 and 1969, is currently touring the nation under auspices of the Smithsonian Institution. "Through its juries in American and Europe, the International Graphic Arts Society eac h year selects and publishes 35 to 40 new works by leading graphic artists," said Russell Baldwin, director of the college gallery. "Members of this non-profit s ociety are able to purchase prints from the society's limite d editons. Through such distribution the society works to foster the development of the fine arts in the graphics fields and to increase the appreciation, knowled ge and understanding of such art." Baldwin said the current exhibition presents a balanced selection ranging from realistic and traditional to abstract and expressionist forms, in an attempt to present examples of the varied styles in the United States and abroad.

NEWS BRIEFS Introduction to Archeology, a new course being offered in the spring, is listed in the schedule as having two hours of outside work per week. This is misleading, as the extra time will be applied to one or more voluntary field trips during the semester. Several projects are being·consid ered: a site survey of the pictographs and petroglyphs seen in the Rancho Bernardo area; excavation of a shell midden on soon-to-be-developed land near the coast; or a site survey of the Batiquitos Lagoon area in conjunction with an open-space study.
