Page 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Tuesday, February 25, 1947 Tenor Clicks In Familiar Songs, Arias Kullmaii's Power, Quality Striking By SAM WARREN Charles Kullman got off to a rather slow start last night in his Stuart Theater recital, but once he began to click about a fourth of the way thru the program the result was completely satisfying. Sponsored by the Lincoln Sym phony Orchestra, he was the first tenor to appear in concert here since James Melton's last trip some four years ago. Opening with a rather ineffec tive group of English and Italian numbers, he came thru best there with Purcell's "Passing By" and Verdi's "Rigoletto" aria, "La donna e mobile," altho he gave the aria somewhat of an individual ized interpretation. Nevertheless, Kullman has a voice of exceptional tenor timbre plus the extra edge of power that makes his singing forceful. His group of Schubert songs and the group of French and Italian num bers brought this out to best ad vantage. The "Serenade" was the first number sung at his best and from there on it was smooth sailing thru the Flower Song from "Carmen" and The Dream from "Manon" (perhaps the most musicianly singing of the evening) to the Italian serenades, notably Cimara's "Stornello," and a group of contemporary songs." Altho he exhibited a wide vocal range, his highest notes were somehow not always free and he had a tendency to soften into pi anissimo rather suddenly, but a beautiful pianissimo it was! Be cause he stressed familiar num bers above all else, his over-all program seemed to lack depth. altho the very pleasure of its fa miliarity made it well-received Thoroly enjoyable were "Annie Laurie," Grieg's "Ich Liebe Dich." "Song of India" and "Do Not Go, My Love." Stuart Ross, who accompanied young Fa trice Munsel earlier this season, again provided sym pathetic and intelligent piano set tings for the soloist, and played a piano group that found favor with the audience. Relying more on his ability to convey feeling than on technique, Mr. Ross played con ventional Chopin, a pleasant, casu ally Latin "Corboda" by Leeuona, and his own delightful arrange ment ol Kreisler's "Liebesfreud." The complete program, includ ing encores, was: "All" (A me, "DonI'll FuRRlte" (Cav r!!ii. "pHsslne By" (I'urcell, "LA donna e n-c' lk" (Verdi). "Die Foiflle." "UnKeiluld," "Heren a'!" (S hiihert ).

HaskalPs Death May Postpone Hospital Plans Regents Vote Medical School Improvements Possible stoppage of pending plans to allow the university's medical college to run the Douglas county hospital were encountered at the last meeting of the board of regents. The death of former Chairman Vincent C. Haskall was mentioned as an impeding factor in pending coalition plans. According to Douglas County Board Chairman Roman Hruska, Haskall was one of the initial m stigators and workers in the pro gram. The proposal, which must be approved by three groups the university regents, the state board of control and the Douglas county board, has been approved by only the latterorganization. If the proposal is accepted, it will mean the creation of a small state mental hospital, with an es timated annual cost of $200,000 to be shared by the university and the board of control. At the monthly meeting of the board of regents at the university college of medicine, members ac cepted 30 resignations and ap proved 127 appointments. The board also approved an authorization for complete archi tect's plans for grading and drain age of the college of medicine campus; for a university genetics institute to provide for inter change of genetics information; the appointment of Dr. A.
