Two win music awards The University music school has awarded $1,000 scholarships to composition students Ray Freedman and Jack Gabel. The scholarship awards were made possible after distinguished American composer Raymond Hubbell left an endowment to the Ameri can Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for assist ing promising young composers through their college education. ASCAP selected a number of universities throughout the United States which are known for their work in the field of music composition, including this University. Freedman received his Bachelor of Music degree in 1970 from the University of Connecticut and a master s degree from the University of Oregon in 1972. Since then Freedman has twice been the recipient of the Ruth Lorraine Close scholarship award at the University, where he is a doctoral student. Gabel studied music theory for two years at Portland Community College before coming to the University of Oregon. He is a junior. He has been very interested in composing since returning from Europe and has spent time working on jazz compositions for a jazz quintet. A career in law without law school.
