Chicago 15, local • group rev1ve Big Band Jazz Big Band Jazz is currently enjoying a revival and the newly formed Chicago 15, together with the Palomar College Jazz Band, will present an evening of big band music from two different eras enti~led An Evening of Nostalgia, in the Palomar College Theatre June 6 at 7:30p.m. The Chicago 15 will present a program of traditional big band music from the swing era, while the Jazz Band, directed by Billy Hawkins, will feature more contemporary, progressive jazz. The two bands have several members in common. The Chicago 15 is a swing band under the leadership of clarinettist Ed Reed and drummer John Hall. Born and raised at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, this band is an offspring of the popular Chicago 6, and plays traditional big band jazz. "There's no shortage of talent in the Chicago 15," says Reed, who wrote and assembled the library. "There had better not be. This library is not intended to be played by amateurs." Other members of the band are high powered local talents such as Hawkins, Carl Posch, Les Kepics, Bill Lamerton, Bob Simmeral, Bill Hendrick and saxophonist Joe Koch, a Tommy Dorsey alumnus. "The spirit and life they bring to jazz classics like the King Porter Stomp, Mission to Moscow, Clarinet a laKing, Sing, Sing, Sing, Caravan and Two O'Clock Jump is unique," says Reed. "You'll have a good musical romp with the Chicago 15." Tickets are available from the Box Office, open 2 to 5 p.m. weekdays, or at the door, telephone 744-1156. For more information, call the Music Department at 744-1150, extension 2316.

Infant Center dedication honors largest donators In honor of its largest contributor, Palomar's new Infant Center will be dedicated to Carlton and Eileen Appleby June 3 at 2 p.m. Governing board president Alan R.

Arts and crafts interpretations are on display Original interpretations of arts and crafts from the Renaissance to the twentieth century will be displayed in the Admissions Office from June 2 through June 12. Inspired by slides, books and discussion, history of art students at the college created works as semester projects using various media such as clay, stone, metal, wood, papier-mache, pen and ink, mosaic, glass, fresco and paint. Choosing either the orginal art medium, a suitable substitute, or a totally original medium, each student duplicated actual works of art or rendered the free interpretations of a former style. The art objects in the show range from paintings, drawings, and sculpture to craft objects. Many of the art history students are not art majors. It is the first time for some to get involved in the art process, to go through the pains of creating something and to thoroughly explore a medium. The display is an excellent look at the history of man through his art. The Palomar art class participating in the show is Rita White's Art History 21. Show hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5-8 p.m.
Clothier points out that "The Patrons of Palomar gave us our first donation of $5,000. Monies donated for the $61,000 Infant Center, which opened last month to infants and toddlers, ages six to 18 months, were all part ofthe Palomar Development Foundation's "Buy a Share of the Future" fund raising. The drive was headed by former Palomar president Dr. Fredrick R. Huber, chairman of the Foundation's Infant Center Committee. Featured during the dedication will be music by Dr. Brenda Montiel and Ronna Mahan and children from the Child Development Center. In addition to Krichman and Clothier, others participating in the program will be Palomar president Dr. Omar Scheidt, who will open the ceremonies, and president of the Development Foundation Dr. Robert Dougherty. Following the program refreshments will be provided along with tours of the mobile facility.
Steinbeck play ends two week run tomorrow "Of Mice and Men", John Steinbeck's classic play concludes its two week run tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Palomar Community Theatre. A matinee will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. Ashbrook's current cast includes Keith Neblett as George, Anthony DuPont as Lennie, Bart McClintock as Candy, Jerry Barnette as Boss, Jordan Jenkins as Curley, Susan Ruby as Curley's wife, Jeff Warren as Slim, Barry Eldridge as Carlson, Kent Houser as Whit, and Josepn Craiger as Crooks. This is a compelling tale of two farmhands, bonded together by a special love, who endure tremendous hardship to follow a dream - "the impossible dream." Perhaps more intense and sensitive than the storyline are the characters themselves. Directed by Palomar College instructor Buddy Ashbrook, they reflect - through their combination of compassion, pain and conflict - life itself. Tickets are $5 for general admission and $4 for senior citizens and students Friday and Saturday evenings. All other performances are $4 general and $3 for seniors and students. Reserved tickets can be ordered by calling the Palomar College box office at 744-1150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2453 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

will perform a variety of dances, including modem dance, jazz dance, ballet, Broadway musicals, mime and songs. Piano soloist Jaime Malagon, will be playing several selections including the opening number, "Prokofiev Sonata #3," a modem dance ensemble choreographed by instructors Bleth and Mary Neuru. Three former students, who have expanded their dance careers, will return to give guest performances. Bleth adds that many former students, who have come back, take classes to keep in shape and be involved. Kitty Winter bourne will perform a mime / modern dance, as well as choreograph and dance in the "Steam Heat" number in the second half of the concert. Winterboume currently performs in the Sea World shows as a dancer and mime. Lisa Kinder will dance a piece she choreographed for her Bachelors Degree in Theatre Dance from USIU. Chris Aguilar, winner of the "Mister Dance of Southern California, 1983" title in a competition sponsored by Dance Masters of America, will perform his winning solo. He will also sing and dance "I Can Do That" from "A Chorus Line," and choreograph the "West Side Story" and "Oklahoma" segments in the last part of the concert. Also featured are ballet dancers April Vihiladai. and Michael Beauvais who will perform a ballet duet called "Morning Waterfall" in the first act. Linda lllig, an advanced student, has choreographed an interpretive group piece to "Fool's Overture," by Supertramp, with Terry Wilson and Eric Monzeglio in solo and duet roles. As a tribute to America as it is portrayed in various Broadway musicals, the major portion of the concert feature dances and songs from "Porgy and Bess" (with Vicki Jarden and Joe Craiger in the title roles), "Damn Yankees", "The Boy Friend," "Sophisticated Ladies," "Hair," "Pajama Game," and "A Chorus Line." Craiger will narrate between the musical numbers. In addition to those mentioned, other choreographers are instuctor Barbara Hammons and students Audrey Jaxon, Kathleen Gaudet, Lori Hosepian, Faith Jensen, Trena Simpson and Michele Spiro. Bleth says that "Choreography is the creative aspect in dance. It is as individual as approaches are varied. Some choreographers create their ideas from the dancers, while others work out ideas on the dancers. The essence that comes out of choreography is personal and individual." She also adds that all aspects of dance, from teaching, performing and choreographing, "all have equal worth in importance. "Most performers go into choreography or teaching at some point in their career, as performing is shortlived, because of the physical energy involved." Bleth indicates that "We have a good group this year. They are dedicated and hard working, they don't miss rehearsals, and they put in a lot of extra hours. "The only difficulty is in working with dancers with various levels of training. "It takes a lot of time to coordinate student hours and develop their skills of picking up routines quickly." But she says the enthusiasm of this year's group is high. Tickets are available in advance at the Theatre Box Office from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or at the door. For more information, call 74~-1156. Tickets are $4.50 general admission and $3.50 for students, senior citizens and staff members.
