WHO'S WHO


	
Stewart B. Wavell



The Director of Programming for the Burmese Department of the British Broadcasting Corporation, Stewart B. Wavell has been the voice of adventure to millions.  He has just returned from his recent expedition to Southeast Asia where he translated a Thai opera, which he recorded in a Buddhist monastery.  Wavell was born in Malaya.  He served with the International Language Club and the Malayan Police Force before becoming a producer for Radio Malaya.  The noted explorer, who speaks the Chinese and Malayan Languages, was the first European to do a live broadcast to the Chinese in their language.

A professional musician, David Morton has worked in nightclubs accompanying, arranging, and composing special material and songs after studying Theater Arts at the University of Washington.  From 1958-1960, he held a Rockefeller grant to Thailand, studying and collecting material on Thai music, preparatory to a Ph.D. with a dissertation on modal practice in Thai music.  Morton recently wrote a 20,000-word monograph on Thai music in general soon to be published as part of a series on musical cultures outside the West.  Fellow musicians on today's program include Hardja Susilo, who came to UCLA on a Rockefeller grant from Java, Donald Sur, a composer and pianist who was born in Honolulu of Korean parentage, and Max Harrell, a fellow student from Indiana at the Institute of Ethnomusicology.
