Russian Singer Urges Singing Songs in English
By AL TRALDI
"I sing in 16 languages and I can easily talk five, but I'm glad to see that operatic songs are more and more sung in English," Madame Marie Kurenko, Russian soprano, said last night after her recital in Strong auditorium.
Mme. Kurenko thinks that English is a wonderful language to sing, "as good as Italian or any other language," she told me in Italian, and she speaks Italian beautifully with her native accent, studying at the Moscow Conservatory with the maestro Umberto Masetti.
"What a song or an opera translated into English loses perhaps in art or in exotic charm is less important than what it gains in better understanding among a broader public." she added.

Faculty Exceeds Red Cross Goal
The University faculty and employees have exceeded their $1,400 goal in the Douglas county Red Cross drive, Mrs. E. W. Murray, county fund chairman, said Thursday.
Under the chairmanship of E. A. McFarland, extension, the University division of the Douglas county fund drive has contributed $1,574 towards the county goal of $18,000, she said.
None of the money collected by the University division has been contributed by students, Mrs. Murray said. Charity drives soliciting students, other than the Community Chest, are not permitted on the Hill. The Red Cross does not participate in the Community Chest drives.
Other collecting divisions in the county fund drive have not been so successful, Mrs. Murray said. Only $12,550 has been collected in the county in the drive which was scheduled to end last week. Plans are for the drive to continue as long as possible, or until the $18,000 goal is reached.
varied programs with symphony orchestra, string quartets, in recitals and in operas. The operatic appearances she liked the best are "Traviata," "Barbiere di Siviglia," "Rigoletto" and her favorite role is in "Manon."
Among her contributions to modern vocalism are the records of M. Marmoz, H. Stravinsky, and A. Stravinsky, and all the Gretchen-hoff songs with the composer at the piano.
For years she held a coast-to-coast program on WBCS with the orchestra of Jacques Antonongni, and she has toured America and Europe several times.
Besides tours, Mme. Kurenko teaches now in New York in the master-classes of the Juilliard Music school. She used to teach music to her son, but now he is studying at the Conservatory of Munich, Germany, with the Fulbright program.
