She tried taking medical tech• a year only to switch to music the next. This year, however, the 21-year-old music junior's problems were solved for her when she was awarded a musical therapy scholarship, the first given a Loyola student. Bmy chance to perform nursing through music," the miss said as she explained ' musical therapy, a comly new field, one teaches id dancing to the sick. Olga, a voice major who alto plays the piano, is well qualified in both counts. In 1953 she and her "partner" Betty Henderson, senior med tech, won first place in the group competition of Blue Key Talent Night. A member of Campus Capers since her freshman year, Olga has also made appearances on radio and television since her Sacred Heart Academy high school days. "Actually, I owe everything to my music teacher, Mary Tortorich," she commented. Her experience in teaching is being gained through St. Joseph's Academy where she teaches music and conducts the glee club every Tuesday. "I have a nice group of girls and just love it," Olga confided.Activity-wise, Olga is anything but a slouch. She is president of Phi Beta, national professional music and speech fraternity; past prefect of Our Lady of the Wayside Sodality; Student Council representative for the past two years; and is a member of Thespians, Lambda Sigma Lambda service sorority, and the Opera Workshop. Returning to her favorite pet, musical therapy, she said that she believes she would prefer teaching in a sanitarium for "there is nothing more interesting than the human mind," and Olga feels certain that even here music would be a cure-all. To further prepare herself she will take "lots" of psychology and interne during her senior year. Olga, who loves being with people and listening to opera on her hi-fi, feels "eternally grateful" to the scholarship donor, Mr. Durel Black, a local businessman. "Through his generosity I'm being granted a chance of a lifetime," she concluded.

Speaker Says Kremlin Fears Rebellion Scion of Tolstoy The leaders of Russia are definitely afraid, of their people, of the West, even of their own comrades, Alexandra Lvovna Tolstoy, daughter of the famed novelist Leo Tolstoy, said at the Loyola Forum Tuesday. Addressing a near capacity crowd of 800 in the Grand Ballroom of the Roosevelt Hotel, she said that America's most valuable allies in the event of another war would be the people behind the Iron Curtain. "And I don't think Kruschev or Bulgannin or any of them can stop it," the former countess said, pointing to indications of rebellion throughout Russia. Among the instance* cited was the 1954 prisoners' revolt in the coal mines north of LeningradLeningrad where temperatures remain below or near freezing the year round. The result, she continued, was that "140 were murdered, the others punished and imprisoned even more rigidly than before." Pointing to conditions within Russia, the director of the refugee-aiding Tolstoy Foundation, noted that the average Russian gets a pair of shoes every 16 months, one yard of woolen material every year, and that for a population of more than 200 million only 46,000 autos were manufactured during the last six months. The party brags, she continued, that "never before have women worked in steel plants; it has been possible only in a 'workers' government'."Of the freedom accorded the Russian people, she quipped, "A Russian employe asked his employer to the opera addressing him as Mr. Rubinoff and was rebuked for using the defunct Mr. and Madame instead of the Communist 'Comrade'." "What opera do you intend to see?" the employer then asked. "Madame . . . er, I mean, . . . Comrade Butterfly." Of slave labor in the country's Arctic regions, she noted that Nicholas I, one of the more conservative Czars, once refused to send criminals there to seek purported gold veins with the comment, "After studying those conditions, the resolution is 'no.' No human beings can be forced to work under such conditions." As her father put it, she said, "Both (the Czarist regime and the rebelling Communists) are thieves, but the old rule has made its pile and won't steal so horribly as the new one will." Through all her father's work, she said, runs the search for truth, ending in "Resurrection" with the hero repenting, seeking out the woman whose life he ruined, finding her too late in prison—already a prostitute, and then doing his best to make restitution." Tolstoy found his truth in the humble, unswerving faith of the Russian people, she noted. She urged Americans to let the Russian people know that they are behind the Russian people in their quest for freedom and to dispel the common notion behind the Iron Curtain that the American government is friendly to the oppressors.oppressors.Lauding the Voice of America for its efforts, she urged also that the free world -broadcast answers to "life's questions . . . the Russian people are hungry, not only for food and clothing, but for spiritual truth for their minds and souls." Democracy cannot live »ide by side with the Soviet nations as long ai they remain under the Communist rule, she said. Quoting frequently from her father, she noted how he predicted the results of the revolution. The seventyish woman escaped from Russia on the pretext of making a lecture tour and founded the Tolstoy Foundation which now has 13 branch offices in Europe and the Middle East and has aided more than 17,000 refugees.
