Robert Hale
In Concert
The chamber of the Great Hall
In Myers Park Baptist Church
rang with the brilliant baritone
voice of Mr. Robert Hale Wed
nesday night of April 8, 1964. Mr.
Hale comes out of the Southwest
and his performance here was
praised highly by all who attend
ed. His visit is preceded by some
of the most impressive reviews
ever bestowed on a rising new
opera star. Louis Nicholas of
The Nashville Tennessean has
written. “There is repose and
absorption in his singing — a
forgetfulness of self—which com
municates powerfully to his au
dience. He sang everything with
tonal beauty, muicianly phrasing,
stylistic aptness, fine taste, and
evident words fit aptly his per
formance here, also.
In the three years since Mr.
Hale began serious voice study
his awards have included the
Wilson Award from the Bloch
Young Artists Competition and
the Amarillo Symphony Young
Artist Award in addition to the
winning of the Metropolitan
Opera District Auditions in Tulsa
and appearance as a finalist in
the Metroplitan Opera Regional
Auditions in St. Louis. In 1962
he won the annual “Singer of
the Year” competition given by
the National Asociation of Teach
ers of Singing,
Now studying in Boston, with
Ludwig Bergmann, Mr. Hale re
cently appeared in concert at
the famed Jordan Hall. “A bari
tone of magnificent richness,”
said The Christian Science Moni
tor. In February his outstanding
rendition of the role Olin Blitch
in the Boston University produc
tion of “Susannah,” brought Rise
Stevens of the Metropolitan
Opera to Boston to view this
young talent in action.
In the summer of 1963 he stu
died with Boris Goldovsky, Rob
ert Gay and Arthur Schoep at
the Denver Opera Workshop and
in addition received his Master
of Music Education Degree from
the University of Oklahoma.
Dr. Harvey L. Woodruff, Dir
ector of Music at the college said,
“We are indeed fortunate to get
Mr. Hale at this stage in his
career. I hope this is going to be
the first of many such concerts
to come to Charlotte in the fut
ure. However, man concerts
which may appear here in the
future I’m sure Mr. Hale’s per
formance will be remembered
among the best.”

Dub" Graham Addresses YDC
By Bill Queen
William E. “Dub” Graham
spoke to the Charlotte College
Young Democrats’ Club Wednes
day night, April 8, at 8:00 p.m.
Beginning with a monologue of
policitical jokes Mr. Graham
went on tell of the organizing of
the North Carolina YDC.
Mr. Graham, former State YDC
President, now among the top ten
YDC’ers in the nation, was re
cently the floor manager of A1
House’s successful campaign on
Al’s being elected the national
YDC President. Mr. Graham is a
successful Charlotte lawyer and
is called “Mr. Democrat of
Mecklenburg County.
The Democratic youth move
ment in North Carolina, he said,
began in 1894 when a small group
of men got together and organi
zed the young Democratic voters
for Grover Cleveland, the Demo
cratic presidential nominee that
year. In 1908, with William Jen
nings Bryant on the Dem ticket,
O. Max Gardner and present
State Treasurer Edwin Gill form
ed together a group of young
men to support the national, lo
cal, and state Dem slates.
In 1928, with the religious is
sue dominating the national
scene, O. Max Gardner, the De
mocratic candidate for governor,
again organized a group of young
men and women and defeated
the powerful Eastern North Car
olina political machine headed
by Senator F. M. Simmons who
bolted the Democratic Party that
year.
This victory encouraged the
Dem youth movement state-wide
with Ray Ferris at the helm. He
organized young Dem voters in
every county.
1930 was the year that the first
YDC Convention was held na
tionally. This convention was or
ganized by the North Carolina
YDC and the YDC spreads na
tionwide.
At the Democrat National Con
vention in 1948, Strom Thurmond
and the Dixiecrats bolted the
Democratic Party but the N. C.
YDC’s held together under the
leadership o' H. Clifton Blue, who
is presently speaker of the House
and a candidate for Lt.-Gov. Be
cause the YDC supported Harry
S. Truman and Alvin Barkley,
N. C. went Democratic national
ly instead of going down the
road with the Dixiecrats. And
because of this, N. C. is right
fully called today the most pro
gressive Southern state in the
union.
Vario Speaks To
Education Students
On Friday, March 27, students
interested in teaching as a ca
reer met with Phillip Vairo, the
head of the new Teacher Educa
tion Program. The new educa
tion program will become active
this summer and will fit within
the framework of the college
curriculum.
The objective of the program
will be to prepare students in
the elementary and scondary
teaching fields. To become a
teacher a student must major in
a field and take the required
educational courses.
Qualified students will be ad
mitted into the program in the
second semester of their sopho
more year. In the state of North
Carolina a person who aspires to
teach in ether primary or sec
ondary schools must have com
pleted eighteen hours of edu
cation which will include prac
tice teaching.
This new program is expected
to graduate students in English,
the social sciences, and the for-

to teach in North Carolina.
eign languages next year. These
students are expected to be pre
pared to teach in the North Car
olina schools by the fall cf 1965.
C C. Chorous To Sing In
Jewish Music Festival
The Charlotte College chorus
will join with the Johnson C.
Smith University choir and the
Queens College concert choir for
the Second Jewish Music Festi
val of the Carolinas. The concert
will take place on Sunday even
ing, April 26 at Ovens Audit
orium. The world famous Israeli
singing trouoe Genula Gill Trio
will be featured along with the
other choruses.
The theme of the concert is
“Brotherhood Through Music"
and although the program is
sponsored by Temple Israel of
Charlotte, it is endorsed by civic
groups, colleges, and the Nation
al Conference of Christians and
Jews.
The Geula Gill Trio will be
featured in songs from Israel and
the entire group of choruses will
present Jewish life around the
world through folk songs and
chants.
The members of the trio are
Geula Gill, Dor Seltze, and Mich
ael Kagan. They have recorded
on Columbia, Electra, and Folk
ways albums.
It is hoped that those listening
to and enjoying this concert will
leo-ome better acquainted with
the Jewish faith and its tradi
tions.
Again in 1960, the religious is
sue came to a head at Democrat io
National Convention in Los Ang
eles. But North Carolina went
the convention and gave its ele
ctoral votes to JFK mainly tc-
cause of a resolution by the N. €.
YDC which stated: “The Consti
tution of the United States of
America guarantees everyone the-
right to his own religion and he
should have the right to se:-, o
his country as anyone else.”
And now, the capstone of tho
North Carolina YDC movement
has been the election of A1 Hoi'-e
to the national YDC presidency.
Almost everyone who is mansg-
ing or helping to manage tho
gubernatorial candidates in tho
upcoming primary elections h.n4
their first start in politics ly
joining local YDC’s. And Mr.
Graham concluded by stating th.it
the YDC at Charlotte College i:i
getting a fast start in becomjn.g

across the state.
