Carillon Music Won't Carry Too Far
Listening to carillon music will be a new experience for many University students. Frank C. Godfrey, representative from the John Taylor and company bell foundry of Loughborough, England has a few suggestions for them.
"Don't expect the sound of the bells to carry too far," he said. "They will not be played loudly. Contrary to popular belief the carillon is not a rowdy instrument.
"Don't congregate at the base of the tower to listen. Stroll around the campus until an ideal listening position is found. This will depend on strength and direction of wind.
"Don't keep your car engine running during recitals. Other persons are listening."
Mr. Godfrey said students may at first find it difficult to adjust to the unusual harmonics and persistence of tones carrying over after a bell has been struck. This will pass after hearing a few recitals, he said.
The bells are cast of an alloy of
copper and tin designed to give the most resonant and pleasing tone. Due to the high tin content they will resist corrosion
The carillon was tuned on the Taylor tune-harmonic system where five partials of harmonics are accurately tuned to one another in each bell which is then tuned to the other bells on fundamental notes. Careful tuning insures that three or four part music may be played with no discord.
The playing mechanism works from a keyboard that resembles an organ keyboard in that it may be played with both hands and the feet. Mr. Godfrey said the bells are connected to the keyboard by an
Art Class To Present Folk Tales In Marionette Show At 4 p.m. Friday
Traditional children's folk tales will be the theme for a free marionette show at 4 p.m. Friday in Strong auditorium.
The one-hour show is given by the students in the class, Methods of Art Education for Junior High School, taught by Miss Maud Ellsworth, associate professor of education.
Each student has modeled, costumed, and painted his own doll. In the show each student speaks his own part and manages his own doll. Each group wrote its own play and made the back-drops.
"Such a project has many advantages," Professor Ellsworth said. "It combines many phases of art work into one problem and shows the students how to teach a course and still get experience." The show has been an all-se semester project and the program will be the final examination.
The dolls are made from rags, papier-mache, carved from wood, or cast in plastic wood. They range from 9 inches to 24 inches tall and are costumed in different colored outfits to match each story.
Students operating the marionettes are Margaret Morrison, fine arts sophomore; Ruth Armstrong and Joanne Knoll, fine arts juniors.
"The Three Bears" play will be given by Donna Hedges Mille, fine arts junior; James Bearghost, George Tennant; Gary Goodwin, education interns.
"The Mother Goose" marianettes will be operated by Barbara White, fine arts sophomore; Virginia Beringer, education junior; Faye Ellen Bond, fine arts junior; and Mary Lou Vess, fine arts senior.
The "Tom Sawyer" play will be given by Carol Donovan, education
junior; Patricia Swan, Nancy Taggart, and June McClenny, fine arts sonhomores.
Marienettes for the Hansel and Gretel play will be operated by Martha Carpenter, Suzanne Carinder, and Jeannine Schindler, fine arts juniors; Mary Jane Forman and Donnis Stiles, education juniors.

State Employees Get Big Boost
Topcka (U.P.)—Gov. Edward F. Arn recently called the new salary scale adjustments for the state employees by the Kansas department of civil service yesterday a move in the interests of efficiency.
Sidney F. Giles, assistant carillonneur at the University of Michigan, will play three concerts during Commencement week, two on Sunday, June 3, and one Monday, June 4.
The extensive adjustments upward in salary will increase the starting salaries, of all new state department workers and will provide merit raises for those with more than five years of service in any department of the state.
"Something had to be done to encourage able employees to come into state service and to retain those who have proven themselves capable, the governor said.
But the salary scale changes will not bring about a blanket increase for all the 14,000 who work for the state. Raises will be given only to those who have showed they deserve them, according to Charles Manley, director of civil service.
In most cases, according to the plan, starting salaries of employees will be increased 5 per cent through elimination of the first step in a seven-step series of pay brackets.
SMART STUDENTS FIND GOOD BUYS BY WATCHING KANSAN ADVERTISING.
Employees with five years' service would if their work merits it, receive additional pay of 5 per cent of their present salary. Those with 10 years service would be eligible for 10 per cent increases; those with 20 years service 15 per cent and 30 years 20 per cent.
Gov. Arn said state departments must still stay within their budgets.
The basic salary increases are effective May 1, the longevity bonus plan July 1.
