Men's Chorus One of Three from America at Festival By Ray Watts Staff Writer *he Men’s Chorus of LMU has been honored by being chosen to represent the United States at the Pacific Interna¬ tional Festival of Male Choruses. Along with the selection of the Chorus, the Director of Choral Ensembles, Paul Salumonovich, has been chosen as one of four clinicians from around the world to discuss aspects of male cho¬ ral singing. The chorus which will be attending the Festival will be composed of the LMU Men’s Chorus and the St. Charles Borromeo Church Choir. Many of the St. Charles Borromeo choir men are alumni or former members of the Loyola Mary¬ mount chorus. The LMU Men’s Chorus is one of only three United States choirs to be attending the Festi¬ val. Also attending will be the United States Army chorus and the Schubertians of the Univer¬ sity of California at Santa Bar¬ bara. Nations to be represented at the Festival include Norway, Sweden, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Canada, West Germany, and many others. Each national chorus will present music representative of their national identity. The LMU Men’s Chorus together with the St. Charles Borromeo Choir will be called the “LMU Festival Chorus.” The program will feature American folk songs, spirituals, shanties, and art songs. It will also consist of selections of Gre¬ gorian Chant excerpted from the Missa cum jubilo in the Liber Usiialis. The modern version of this, Messe cum jubilo, by Maurice Durufle, will also be presented. In addition, the clinic given by Salumonovich will cover these works, using the Festival Chorus as an example and il¬ lustration. The LMU Festival Chorus will be one of only five university choruses attending. Also attend¬ ing will be the Austrian Chorus Viennesis, which is composed of graduated members of the Vienna Boys Choir. The Spanish Chorus, is made up of the graduated members of the famed singers of the Benedictine Abbey of Montserrot. The first chance to see the LMU Chorus this year will be one of the Christmas concerts, on December 6 in Murphy Hall, or December 9 in Sacred Heart Chapel.

People throughout the greater Los Angeles area have responded with donations; among them are the students and faculty of Loyola Mary¬ mount University. Between two fund raisers, sponsored by the Resident Housing Association arid the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, LMU alone has raised over $1500 to assist the homeless and to con¬ tribute to the rebuilding of San Francisco. The first effort began imme- opinion Deep Doo-Doo abounds in Tension City . . . page 8 diately after the news of the earthquake reached LMU. Members of Resident Housing Association and Resident Advi¬ sors requested that students donate whatever small change they could spare for the quake victims. The following days fac¬ ulty and staff were also asked to do the same. The students alone raised $788 in relief funds. The combined total of all contributions was $1500. This money has already been sent to University of San Francisco’s Campus Ministry who will then send thferironey toProjeetOpen Hand. Project Open Hand works directly with the earthquake shelters and does not have over¬ head costs so the entire $1500 will go to victims. a & e Tracy Chapman returns to music scene. . .page 11 LMU’s Pi Kappa Alpha fra¬ ternity has also made an effort in aiding the victims of the quake. Raffle tickets were sold on the Lair patio last week by the Pikes. A total of $600 in tickets was sold with 80% of the proceeds going to quake relief The other 20% went to the winner of the raffle drawing. The Pikes also sent the money through USPs Campus Ministry and Project Open Hand. Though the money raised by LMU is onfy a small percentage compared to what is necessary * to rebuild San Francisco, the check for $1900 was welcomed by Project Open Hand. Donations are still being accepted. Those wishing to con¬ tribute may contact Campus Ministry at 642-2860.
