HOWARD UNIVERSITY


The lrlcndiy persuasion OF a
Howard University music teach
er and the somewhat reluctant
cooperation of one of his students
has resulted in a $500 scholar
ship for the student to study mus
ic this summer at the Berkshire
Music Center, Tanglcwood, Mass.
The student, Andrew N. White,
Ill, of 1921 Haynes Meade Cir
Gle, Nashville, Tenn, had little
confidence in his ability to win
the full-tuiton scholarship in the
competition sponsored 10 a To-
cal radio station. Some bv appli-
cants auditioned for the scholar
ship at Constitution Hall, and
White felt that il was waste
of time for him TO enter the con-
test.
But his music teacher, Mark
Fax, associate professor of piano
and composition and head of the
Department. Of Applied Music
at Howard. thought differently.
He encouraged the 20-year-old
College 'of Fine Arts Junior to
enter the competition. and even
took the initiative In registering
White as an applicant.
When members OF the Boston
Symphony Orchestra heard the
youth play the oboe during the
addition, they we're convinced
that he was the most talented of
all the applicants. The result is
that White will study for 8 weeks
at Berkshire, the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra's summer Gen.
ter for the advanced study of
music. under the craftsmanship
of Aaron COPELAND. White will
study the oboe under Ralph Com.
berg. principal oboist with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, be-
ginning June Is.
