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)

CURRAN RETURNS FROM TRIP (Continued from Page 1) the witch doctor he became lost. "I walked a mile down the beach and into the jungle. If you get off the main path your's lost. In fact, two Australians got lost there two weeks previously for about a week- - in the middle of the day. Well, all those paths are like little narrow tubes; there's several paths that go off. I thought I knew it because I'd walked it twice. ''I got lost and I turned the wrong way and went out to sea, I got caught in the swamp clear up to my knees. "Then I saw the light of the candles at the temple so I trudged back and finally arrived the re." The gods seemed to be with Curran, beacuse no sooner had he gotten there and laid down to sleep, than a big storm hit and blew out all the candles. About five the next morning Curran was awakened by the sound of someone singing alms. He stood and watched the whole fascinating ceremony with a native who spoke broken English and could explain parts of the ceremony. One of the funniest sights dealt with the monkeys swinging through the jungle. It seems that they don't always make it from limb to limb. Their perception must be off sometimes beacuse some of them would swing and grab for the next limb and fall straight to the ground. Curran went on to talk about the people and the government in various places on the trip . "All forms of communication are government controlled--the newspapers, the radio stations, the television--through Thailand. "In Malaysia it's pretty much the same thing, maybe a little freer." Dating customs around those countries are pretty much like those in America. They ride bikes, and go to parks. They go out to eat (which is a really big thing) or they'll go to nightclubs--of which there are a few. "Sociologically, it's very interesting. The people are very poor. They still have a "caste" system where people are born into being servants, and they stay a servant the rest of their lives. "If they're exceptionally beautiful or have extreme talent, they MIGHT climb up a notch or two, but that's quite unusual. "Primarily there's not to much middle class. They picture most Americans as millionaires--the Hollywood image-fast-buck, fast-living, and beautiful people." Curran moved on to talk about "saving face." "Face is a very important thing. They still have "tongs" which are Chinese secret societies and if you offend
somebody's sister or mother, or s omething like that, then there's a vendetta against the family. They'll come out with knives and they'll stab you. It'll a blood vengeance." "Only about three percent of the population is Christian. All the rest are Buddhist, Hindu, and Moslem, so that their whole outlook on life and death is different. "I thought it was really challenging to talk with them and gain some insight into Eastern . religion and culture and see how the people actually live. "Some of the real advantages to that way of living is that they're closely tied to the soil, to the land, which is both a hindrance and an advantage. I think you're more basic when you're tied to the land. "I gained a lot of insight into some of the stupid things we do, and we do some pretty foolish things in our foreign policy, when you see it from the other side. "But you also appreciate and understand how much :prestige the U.S. really has, how much other countries look to us and all the blessings that this country has."

Usual Tuesday starter Dennis Thornbury may not be pitching Tuesday when the Palomar baseballers host Riverside in their final home tilt. Thornbury came in as relief for Dave Stacy last Thursday to win the Chaffey game, and also started Tuesday, but was replaced in the sixth by Mark Rickabaugh. Getting the starting nod may be Thornbury, Rickabaugh, or Dana l\1cl\1anus. Last Thursday, the Cornet nine traveled to Alta Lorna to drop Chaffey in 10 innings 8-7. The Comet batting attack started early in the first inning when three runs were scored. Mark Leszcyzynski singl ed and advanced to second on a wild pitch.

Then the Comets went scoreless in the ninth, but the Chaffey Panthers tied it up in half of the inning. The next inning the Comets broke the tie to win. Rick Whyte made it to first on an error but was forced at second on a fielder's choice by Don Johnson, Johnson being safe at first. Thornbury saved his own ski n when he
