Opera Star Sings Here Tonight
Miss Rise Stevens, Metropolitan opera star, will sing at 8:20 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium. I.D. cards will admit students to the University Concert course event.
Included in her program will be “Where'er You Walk” (Handel); “Voi che sapete” from “The Marriage of Figaro,” (Mozart); “Meine Liebe ist grun,” (Brahmcs); “The Ash Grove,” (arr. by Benjamin Britten); “An Ocean Idyl,” (Brooks Smith); and excerpts from “Carmen” (Bizet) including “Habanera,” “Seguidilla,” and “Gypsy Song.”
Miss Stevens was born in New York to Norwegian and American parents. It wasn't until the family moved to Elmhurst, Long Island, that her vocal potentialities were discovered. The superintendent of the high school visited the singing class and interrupted the class to discover "who produced that certain jarring sound."
Her first contract with the Metropolitan Opera came when she sang on the Metropolitan Opera Auditions of the Air, but she lost to Anna Kaskas. A year later she auditioned again, was accepted and was offered a small contract. But she turned it down and went to Europe to study.
Her accompaniist, Brooks Smith, will play a group of three works including Concert Etude in F Minor by Dohnanyi.
She made her professional debut as a child primadonna on a local radio program. Still in her teens she joined the chorus of the Opera Comique at the Heckscher theater in Brooklyn and eventually worked her way up to a lead in "The Chocolate Soldier."
It was Miss Stevens who had sung in her natural register an octave below the others. When the superintendent started to correct her he discovered that her voice showed unusual promise. Her curriculum was changed to allow her to attend all music classes. She was given yearly scholarships.
Besides her operatic career, Miss Stevens is well-known in movies, radio, and television. She has had starring roles in such pictures as "The Chocolate Solider," "Going My Wav." and "Carnegie Hall."
In summing up her career, Life magazine recently called Miss Stevens the hardest working and most valuable mezzo-soprano of modern times.

State Council Seeks Income
Topeka (U.P.)—The Kansas legislative council today studied the task of finding new sources of revenue for the state.
The 1951-52 council, composed of 25 Senators and Representatives, the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the House, held its initial meeting yesterday. In quarterly sessions of two and three days each it will work the next year and a half processing major issues due to reach the 1953 legislature.
Gov. Edward F. Arn listed the "new revenue" proposal at the top of a sheaf of studies to be undertaken by the council.
The job of finding the new sources of revenue will fall to the assessment and taxation committee appointed at the organization meeting of the Kansas "little legislature".
Another committee, headed by Rep. Chris Green of Courtland, delved into reorganization of the state's entire financial structure.
Senator Green said his committee would work closely with an advisory committee of lawyers and financial experts appointed by the governor to put a preliminary reorganization into effect. Senator Green is chairman of the House ways and means committee.
Performing faculty members were Raymond Cerf and Waldemar Geltch, violinists; Karel Blaas, violist; Raymond Stuhl, cellist; and Mrs. Alberta Stuhl, pianist.
Mr. Cerf and Mr. and Mrs. Stuki first presented Haydn's "Trio in G." The trio, played with admirable clarity and grace.
The six-movement serenade is an unusual work because its three instruments—flute, violin, and viola—are all high in pitch. It is hardly a masterpiece, but it is a pleasant work well worth an occasional performance.
The University string quartet closed the program with Schubert's tuneful "Quartet in A Minor." Their performance was satisfactory in every respect.
The third movement of the trio, the familiar and difficult "Gypsy Rondo," was an audience favorite.
Gene Johnson, fine arts sophomore, flutist, joined Mr. Cerif and Mr. Blaas in an excellent reading of the "Serenade in D" by Beethoven.
Dr. Cloy S. Hobson associate professor of education, today received notice of his appointment as an active member of the teacher education committee of the Association for Childhood Education International. Dr. Hobson, a specialist in curriculum planning and revision, will serve through 1953 on this appointment.
