"Magnificent, voice poise power and volume deep under standing of her songs and arias." Elise Cortese, young, beautiful, and ambitious is well on the way to her goal as a great singer.

After her grad uation, she went to the Combs Conservatory in Philadelphia. Here she concentrated on music and graduated an accomplished pianist and well-trained singer.

Later she sang over the Florida University station, and by popular, demand her appearances were increased to three half -hour broadcasts a week. As a non-professional, she has: sung f roiri the radio stations in Raleigh and Charlotte, where she is a prime favorite because of her lack of microphone fright and her knowledge of radio tech nique. Oratorio audiences have heard her in the "Creation," "Elijah, "Messiah," and "The Holy City. She has sung the soprano leads in all of these great oratorios by the old masters.

News Flash It's been sorta three days. cool the last North Carolina Plan Contributes Internal Study of Whole Con- -solidation Problem. : WILL APPOINT ASSISTANT State College Will Have Assist ant Adainis.tratorDuring Illness of Brooks The board of trustees of the University yesterday authorized President Frank Porter Graham to appoint a dean of administra tion; at State College, to assist Dr.' Ei C. Brooks, head of the school, while the latter is ill. President Graham stated af ter the meeting of the board that he. had not decided whom he would appoint. Following a stroke of paraly sis; suffered, in Washington sev eral weeks ago, Dr. Brooks has been slowly recovering. Making his first complete, comprehehsive analysis and summary of the progress of con solidation since the act creating the Greater University of North Carolina was passed by the 1931 Legislature, President Frank Porter Graham told the Board of Trustees, assembled in Ral eigh yesterday for their annual winter meeting, that there is now being worked out at the three . institutions at Raleigh, Greensboro, and Chapel Hill, a type of consolidation that rom- ises "to stand out in America as a distinctive and unique contri bution in creative cooperation." Devoting virtually all of his . annual report to the progess of consolidation and indicating steps to be taken in furtiiering the plan, Dr. Grahahi : empha sized the point that consolidation of the three institutions is pro ceeding smoothly and orderly through the hearty cooperation and participation of trustees, alumni, faculty, students and in terested citizens. N. C. Makes Contribution In proceeding with consolida tion "North Carolina has drawn upon the experiences of several states and shares many of these procedures with other states, but its distinctive contribution to the process is the enlistment of especially equipped men and wo men in three faculties for the further study of the inner life and needs of the three institu tions as they united to serve the state," Dr. Graham asserted. "Consolidation thus becomes not only an instrument of eco nomics but fundamentally a pro cess in education' he said. "We appreciate deeply the support of the board in its stand for an ed ucational development as against any political manipulation of consolidation. ; '"' Presenting the consolidation movement in North Carolina and; "the emergence of a new type of State, University" against a historic background of a threefold development, Dr. Graham cited. the experiences of other institutions in consolida-. tions. . ; In many of the younger states and in a few of the older states, he said, the three types of insti tutions were from the beginning joined in one all-embracing state university on one campus. West ern states furnish many exam ples of this procedure.
