With spring term ending
students are looking toward sum­
mer and deciding whether to take
summer classes and what to take.
Registration for summer
term begins Thesday. The sched­
ules have been available on cam­
pus since May 12. There are no
appointments required, unlike
the last three terms. The times
that they are open are: 8:30 a.m.
to 7:30 p.m., Monday through
Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. on Fridays.
However, registration will
be closed during the evenings of
June 12 through June 16. They
will also be redoing over-the-
phone registration. It will start
Tuesday and go from 8 a.m. to 8
p.m., seven days a week and go
through June 25.
The only major cost change
from last year is the $2 per credit
fee. This fee will only include
credits up to 14 credits.
Classes will begin Monday,
June 19. After Aug. 10, offices
will be open only during the day.
Classes go from Monday through
Thursday and the college is
closed on Friday through Sun­
day. Also most classes will go
for only eight weeks. Some
courses such as the science
classes will go the normal 11
weeks.
The school doesn’t offer a
lot of the classes that are nor­
mally offered during summer.
However, the art classes will not
be offered at all. Also, besides
three Spanish classes, the for­
eign language classes will not
be offered.
During the summer the
school offers fast track courses.
These are accelerated courses
which include multiple terms in
the eight to eleven-week time
period. Examples of these
classes are the first two terms of
English, WR121 and WR122,
and First Year Spanish,
SPN121, 122 and 123. These
classes are two, four-week
courses and three week courses
respectively.
“Lots of students are want­
ing to finish up some require­
ments. We get a lot of transfer
students who are home for the
summer who want to get a
couple of classes that will go
towards their degree at another
school,” said Sue Manzella
when asked about students’ mo­
tives for taking summer classes.
Teachers contracts decide
who teach summer courses. The
teachers will often take a term
of the regular school year off and
teach some summer courses.
The number of students at­
tending summer classes each
year varies. However, last year
the total head count was 4916.

A Chamber Music Program
was developed last term by the
music department for those stu­
dent vocalists and instrumental­
ists wishing to play classical mu­
sic.
Each Monday night a group
of about a dozeh professionals and
students gather to bask in the
wealth of classical music.
According to Judy Hylton,
instructor and department chair,
the class is broken into a master
class, including performances and
critiques, and a coaching session.
Visiting professionals in­
clude: Carol Rich, pianist and
accompanist; Christine Meadows,
a mezzo-soprano who has had
minor roles with the Portland
Opera; Pablo Izquierda, a princi­
pal oboist for the Portland Opera;
and Lori Presthus, a cellist in the
Portland Opera orchestra.
The class performed a con­
cert on Monday in the Gregory
Forum, including “Liebeslieder
Walzer,” or “Lovesong Waltzes”
by Johannes Brahms written for
vocal quartets and duets with pi­
ano, four hand accompaniment.
According to Hylton, student
pianists Joyel Daniels and Terry
Kinjo have done an outstanding
job on this piano part.
The class will also be per­
forming at the Chamber Concert
on at 7 p.m., Sunday, June 4 in
the Gregory Forum.
Baritone vocalist, Gary
Markham, will perform a song by
Schubert, accompanied by
Gwynne Warner. Vocalists Karie
House and Alison Christiansen
will perform “Laudamuste,” from
Vivaldi’s- “Gloria’.’ and Faith
Bergstresser will perform a sonata
for cello by Marcello, accompa­
nied by Chris Chan.
The Chamber Music Pro­
gram will continue next year, be­
ginning Fall term and possibly
undergoing some minor changes
so it pays for itself.
This could include doing one
of three things: a greater enroll­
ment, a higher fee for the class
itself or less professionals in­
volved in class sessions.
Vocalists and instrumental­
ists, especially string players, are
encouraged to join the one credit
class that right now costs $72.
Thirty-two dollars is for the credit
and a $40 user fee, which accord­
ing to Hylton is “a really good
deal.”
There are about three times
as many singers involved in the
program as instrumentalists, so
the call for instrumentalists is
greatly stressed. Hopes are for
more violinists, violists, guitarists
and flutists.
Principal flautist of the Port­
land Opera, GeorgeAnn Ries and
guitarist, composer and teacher
Bryan Johanson are ready and
willing to join the program, but
Hylton was waiting for students
to take those positions.
“Pianists and guitarists really
have no place to play classical
music,” said Hylton. “Here they
have a chance to do so.”
The class meets for two hours
each Monday night and students
get the opportunity to work with
professionals.

Chamber Music Program call
