Tour ended; • mus1c group sings today Palomar's College Chamber Singers and College Concert Band are back on campus after successfully completing their third annual spring concert tour. The 72 students and three accompanying instructors left Palomar on April 9 for the musical tour, with scheduled concerts in several California cities. They traveled to Newhall for the first performance, then proceeded north, performing in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Cupertino before going on to San Francisco. Performances were also scheduled in San Francisco and South Lake Tahoe. Highlights of the tour included conce;rts at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and a noon mass at San Francisco's Saint Mary's church. The student groups also had the chance to see Bill Cosby and Leslie Uggams in person at a South Lake Tahoe performance. According to student reaction, the trip was a success in more than music. Besides giving each student a greater feeling for music, the experience of traveling together for six days enabled them to grow close together and learn to live with each other. The trip was described as a "maturing experience that was well worth it." Palomar musical instructors accompanying the students were Joe Stanford, department chairman, Larry Livingston and James Weld. Stanford was in charge chamber singers, while Livingston conducted the concert band. Now that they have returned, the Chamber Singers will sponsor and participate in the annual chorale festival of the Musicians Association of California, southern section today at Mission San Luis Rey. The event will bring choral groups from 13 junior colleges throughout the region to participate in the festival, from 1:30 to 3:30 and 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Stanford said, "Each choir will sing for 12 minutes and will receive a written commentary on its work by Miss Iva Dee Hiatt, who was selected to write the adjudication this year. She is comi ng here from Smith College, Hartford, Conn., and is considered one of the outstanding choral conducters in the country." Thirteen choral groups, with a total of more than 350 singers, will combine to perform Franz Joseph Haydn's "Te Deum," as the final performance on the evening program, and this selection will be conducted by Miss Hiatt. The final number by the combined choral ensemble will be accompanied by the Long Beach City College orchestra. The orchestra has been prepared for Miss Hiatt by its seasonal conductor, ·_Michael Pappone. Stanford said admission is free and the public is invoted. The "Te Deum" number, he said , will be performed at the end of the evening program, at about9 p.m.

MEETS QUEEN OF ENGLAND
Curran relives Asian trip By Leeayn "I was really startin' to hunger for just a plain old American hamburger." And, afte r two and a half months of eating shark's fins soup, curry, rice , shrimp and fish, it's no wonder that coach Mike Curran felt this way. Curran was chosen by the Rotary Club to join a group of men on a trip through Southeast Asia. "The area we visited was primarily Thailand, from Cheing Rai, which is by the Burma border, all the way down to Every place there's a city in Yala. between we visited. "The we crossed the border at Kelentan, and came all the way down through Malaysia into Singapore. We crossed the South China Sea to East Malaysia and Borneo. "We did get about an hour's trip over into Laos. The next day nine peple were killed in the same place we had been standing. Many fascinating things happened to Curran during the two and a half months and he learned much about the people there, American and himself. "We traveled in sophisticated 747s, and then all the way down to a Thai airliner and a Cessna. We used trains a lot through Thailand, buses, cabs, private cars, and even rickshaws. (Actually, they have pedicabs now. They're pulled by a man on a bicycle.) That's their concession to modern transportation!" Curran even rode on an elephant while in Cheing Pai. The elephants there are trained and used a lumber mills to carry (or drag) the large teakwood logs up to where the saws are . Among the many rare and unusual things he did, Curran had tea with the Queen of England. The Queen was on tour in Malaysia at the same time Curran and his group was. They crossed paths many timed was. It seems that one of the hosts they were staying with ("a real wealthy guy") was going to throw a big party. Another Rotarian was arranging the seating for this tea and he told Curran's group that it was too bad they weren't going to stay an extra day (their plans were to leave on the day the tea was held) or he could get them in. So they called ahead and postponed their plans a day. "They put on a performance of all
Chapman different Malaysian and Thai dancing-a cult\lral performance. Then we all were served tea and ice cream and cookies. "Princess Ann and Prince Phillip were there and the sultan (without his four wives)." One formality that is strictly enforced in the Queen's presence is that no pictures may be taken of her while she's eating. "I started taking a picture and they came over and stopped me. They'll confiscate your camera. They don't want to show her with her mouth open." A witch doctor? That also seemed to fall into Curran's own schedule of events. While they were in Malaysia the group went to Port Dixon, which is one of the historic pirate areas. This is where Captain Cook first landed. They were staying with the owner of one of the largest rubber plantations in the country. P e rky (the owner) told Curran about the witch doctor who lived about three miles down the coast and into the jungle, and Curran said he'd like to visit him. "He (the witch doctor) lives in a lagoon. It's a sacred area. There's a superstition that Aronganon-- who was a very famous Malaysian warrior and about 30 feet tall--has his footprint in a rock. It's a sacred temple area--actually just a little lean-to. Very few Malaysians go back there because the path you have to travel is called the 'Path of Death' or 'Ghosts' Walk,' and they're very superstitious. "It was called that because the pirates used to come in and bury their hostages on both sides of the path. "However, the Chinese, instead of being afraid, think it's a good luck superstition- - all those spirits being there." Curran ran ahead and arrived at the witch doctor's before Perky and discovered that there was a slight communications gap. "I was asking him if it was a Moslem temple or a Buddhist temple or whatever and he said 'One sun, one god.' " Much less a communications gap; Curran discovered that the man he was talking to was not the witch doctor. There was another man that just sat and stared--he was the witch doctor. Later, in attempting to go back to (Continued on Page 2)
