But for everyone who has joined the European Summer Music Festival junket the past two years, they are trips not soon to be forgotten. "We don‘t think there is anything else like this done in Canada," said Maggie Dyck, Waterloo rep of the St. Catharinesâ€"based Menno Travel Service, who couples with her husband Howard as escorts for the threeâ€"week summer ventures, which they have arranged since 1981. "We go to hear the music we love, we love the travelling, what better combinaâ€" tion to plan a vacation around?"" The idea for such excursions was anything but a fit of impulse for the Dycks, who have called Waterloo home since Howard came here to join the WLU Music faculty 11 years ago. Students of music from 1967â€"69 at Detmold, West Germany (near Hanover) where several Laurier faculity members have studied, Dycks moved back to Winnipeg, Howard‘s home town, prior to the shift here. He now teaches partâ€"time at Laurietr, is choral director of the Kâ€"W Philharmonic Choir and broadcaster with the CBC Choral Concert production. Maggie, meanwhile, a native of Alberta, had always been interested in travel and took a course in the discipline at Conestoga College. Subsequently Menno Travel contactâ€" ed her when they heard she had lived in Europe and spoke German fluently, but she wasn‘t anxious to escort the "15 cities in 10 days‘*‘ type tour they proposed. "I told them I was very interested in doing a tour, but to let me do my kind of tour," said Maggie, who at Christmas of 1980 went to Europe for 10 days visiting festivals and hotels, arranging for tickets and so on, generally laying the foundation for the inaugural European Summer Music Festival in August of 1981. That trip touched base in Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Switâ€" zerland, while last year Italy was substituted for Czechoslovakia. The same countries will be visited this year from July 25 to August 15, while on a separate venture from July 9â€"23 Howard Dyck and Ray Daniels will conduct a similar tour based in and around London, England. 1 1 C S o e e e i bmcbds ~ Adtdidalt ‘‘"‘There‘s no question, you have to have a love for music," said Maggie, who does the bookings and event arranging while Howard complements her legwork with onâ€"tour backâ€" ground brie(ings, "though that‘s not the only reason people come on the trips. One of a kind trips delight music lovers European holidays The excursions are lightly advertised, in Music and Opera Canada magazines as well as a small ad in the Globe and Mail, yet draw inquiries and bookings from all parts of Canâ€" ada. "Most of (the clients) have travelled a lot, and they seem to be looking for a tour with a focus," said Maggie. "Everyone enjoys music, the concerts, and that makes for a good group, everyone has common interests and gets along well, they range in age from early 20‘s to late 70‘s and are from all over Canada...we‘ve even had letters from as far away as California and Oregon, as well as from people right in Germany wanting to join the tour." ~ While the concerts are a major attraction, the physical charm and natural beauty of the countries visited also hold significant drawing power. "We don‘t stay in Hiltonâ€"type hotels, but they‘re all first class or tourist class, and they have the charm of the country we‘re in," said Maggie. ‘"We like to stay off the main roads, and stop at interesting tourist attractions and villages." Maggie indicated that the stopover in Salzburg, the ‘‘Sound of Music,‘" region for the biggest music festival is a definite highlight. On an earlier trip the entourage witnessed Princess Grace and Caroline plus a sea of tuxedos and long gowns as the ‘"important people" flocked to the festival. P‘Tf’;opl-éâ€"lvi-l-:;-_dfi jilst to watch that kind of sight," said Maggie. While the Dycks are more than happy to offer suggestions at any time of where to go and what to see, they emphatically insist on goodly amounts of free time for individual tastes. All is not fun and gaiety for the Dycks, especially Maggie, on the trips, and more specifically prior to them. Any number of scheduling headaches, hotel and ticket acâ€" commodation and last minute changes have to be taken care of, and the job can sometimes be an onerous one. _ ‘‘There‘s definitely free time to shop, visit museums, and so on, we very strongly believe in that," said Maggie. â€"= s "For sure, the biggest headache is in setting the trips up, and I‘ve often thought about slowly getting other people involved." said Maggie. ‘"But it isn‘t long after returning from one trip that I can‘t wait to go again, I just look forward to them so much."‘ “Khirâ€"o'n'e'iwishing brochures or information on either trip this summer can contact the Dycks at 884â€"2825. Among the current cycle of movâ€" ies about teenâ€"agers discovering sex, Losin‘ It and Goin‘ All The Way stand as pretty wideâ€"apart examâ€" ples of the best and worst of them. The first is a picture which seems to use 1981‘s Canadianâ€"produced Porky‘s as a thematic and structurâ€" al model, while the second merely attempts to attract the same audiâ€" ences with noneâ€"tooâ€"subtle advertisâ€" ing links to the earlier highâ€"grossing film. Losin‘ It also is principally Canaâ€" dian financed, but executive proâ€" ducers Joel B. Michaels and Garth H. Drabinsky â€" apparently not wanting to be restriected by Canaâ€" dianâ€"content regulations â€" have made it as an outâ€"ofâ€"country producâ€" tion. Victor Stanton Chronicle Special Going to the other side of the continent from Porky‘s, Losin‘ It focusses on a group of California boys who decide to have a wild weekend of booze and sex "south of the border," in Tijuana, Mexico. For one, at least, it is a trip intended to achieve the loss of his virginity in a Tijuana bordello. (Apparently, the movie originally was to be called Tiâ€" juana.) _ Before they cross the border, they acquire an additional passenger, a young lady in the throes of a marital dispute who decides she will get a Mexican divorce. Shelly Long, probâ€" ably the most familiar performer in this picture by virture of her starring role in the movie Night Shift and in the TV series Cheers, plays this role with almost the same kind of frenetic daffiness that Goldie Hawn likely would have brought to Best and worst of teen films An exhibition of Tibetan art will continue in the gallery of the Waterioo Public Library until Friday, April 22. The show features more than 100 paintings, carpets and other handicrafts created by the artists of the Tashi Jong craft community, a group of Tibetan monks living in exile in northern India. All proceeds from the sale will go to support the refugees. Here show organizer Vivian Hunter displays one of the many colorful paintings for sale in the show. WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, Movie review TIBETAN ART it some 10 to 15 years ago. The male stars are Jackie Earle Haley, who may be remembered from his Bad News Bears outings; Tom Cruise, who has been in Taps and currently also can be seen in The OQutsiders, and John Stockwell. They portray, respectively, the overâ€"sexed clown, the sensitive virâ€" gin and the moody braggart and bully. Initially, it looks as though the movie will be no more than a Porky‘s clone, and obvious parallels persist most of the way through. But the Tijuana experiences of the principal characters do open up to include other areas to reflect upon. Certainly, Goin‘ All The Way is so ridiculous as to make Losin‘ It seem almost sublime. P With a cast of performers who look as though they should be portraying university postâ€" graduates instead of teenâ€"age high school students, Goin‘ All The Way offers more to laugh at than with. The plot is pretty much summed up in the title, although if you took away the nudity (which isn‘t all that plentiful to begin with) and the use of obscene language (again not that much) and changed the quest for sex to one for romance, you‘d be left with a story that‘s pretty much an Andy Hardy comedy of the late ‘30s and early ‘40s. (Then, too, screen teenâ€"agers were a pretty matureâ€" looking lot.) Typically, there are a couple of subâ€"plots invo‘ving other characâ€" ters, mostly played for soâ€"called humor. But, in its entirety, Goin‘ All The Way is more a "hoâ€"hum" than ‘haâ€"ha‘‘ movie. Melodes Martinuk photo
