PREMIERE PERFORMANCE:
Student Carilloneurs To Play Today
_______________________________________ I
By DONALD HARRIS
On the top floor of Burton Memorial Tower, there is little re-
semblance to the plain floors and ceilings and hard wood chairs
usually found in University classrooms.f
Here in the working quarters of Prof. Percival Price, University
Carillonneur, are three homelike, comfortable rooms. A soft green
carpet is on the floor. There are armchairs and a sofa.
IN DIRECT ANTITHESIS to these domestic surroundings is the
cloistered room directly above which houses the University's famed
Baird Carillon.
In a world by itself stands the instrument whose keyboard,
approximately four feet in length, is dwarfed by the immense
size of the larger bells.
The bells are arranged in an arch at whose base directly centered is
the actual carillon. Beginning with the large bells, completely sur-
rounding the small room housing the instrument, they diminish in
size to the smallest ones at the top.
INTO THIS ENVIRONMENT this summer have stepped four
graduate students in the School of Music to learn the techniques of
carillon under the tutelage of Prof. Price.
At noon today Lois Batchelor, Betsy Gidley, Richard Harper
and Fred Fahrner, will present their first recital on the instru-
ment. Works of Bach, Mozart, Couperin, Willem de Fesch and
Gow will be played. The world's premiere of Prof. Price's Rhap-
sody for Two Carillonneurs No. 4, will also be performed by Miss
Batchelor and Miss Gidley.
All four students are primarily organists, but are studying the
carillon because as Miss Gidley pointed out "there has been a revival
of carillon in this country. In some places organists are being asked
to double on the instrument."
* * * ~
ENTHUSIASTIC IN expressing their delight over the carillon, "its
an awful lot of fun to play," the four jokingly referred to themselves
as the "first carillon quartet."
M But when it comes to the business at hand, the carillon pre-
sents many problems. Miss Batchelor explained that "no two caril-
Ions are alike. Each piece has to be arranged for the instrument
on which it is to be played."
More important to the beginning student however is the great
amount of physical exertion needed to play the carillon. It takes a
good hard blow with the fist, to put into operation the heavier bells.
Consequently an hour is 'all the beginner can practice without
causing injury to the hands.
* * * *
PLAYERS WEAR "stalls," which are little felt rings with ad-
hesive tape around the middle. When placed on the little finger,
which is the first part of the.fist to reach the levers operating the
bells, they soften the blow for the hand.
Another problem particular to the carillon is the fact that it
operates on a delayed action principle. On the piano as soon as a
note is struck it sounds. On the carillon however, the increased mech-
anism causes a short moment's hesitation between the actual strik-
ing of the note and the sounding. The players have to take account
of this and strike the note a little before it is to sound.

GOP RecordI
OKI-- Meader
At a gathering of 300 Republi-
cans in Ann Arbor Saturday, Con-
gressman George Meader defended
the legislation of the 83rd Con-
gress, and at the same time pleaded
"guilty" to the charge that the Re-
publican Congress had not done
too much.
Pointing out that the primary
aim of the 83rd Congress was to
"put the brakes on New Deal leg-
islation," Meader said he was sat-
isfied with the record because Con-
gress had not passed any Bra'n-
nan plans or other "socialistic leg-
islation."
REP. MEADER said Congress
was following a "definite pattern"
toward restoring free enterprise.

City Lights
CHICAGO-(P)-The Ameri-
can Public Works Association
said yesterday that a spot sur-
vey of 276 cities shows that
mercury vapor street lighting
systems decrease traffic acci-
dents.
The APWA compared acci-
dent figures in the various cities
before and after mercury vapor
lighting systems were installed.
Opinion was divided in the
cities whether operation costs
were lower with the mercury
vapor systems.
Public Building
Reaches Peak
Ann Arbor public improvement
construction programs totaling
$1,296,834 are now underway, City
Engineer George H. Sandenburgh
said yesterday.
The largest building season since
the 1936-37 sewage disposal pro-
ject, this summer's projects in-
clude construction of a $426,000
carport on Maynard Street, direct-
ly across from the School of Music.
CURB, GUTTER and paving im-
provements are included in the
program, totaling $287,000. Part of
the cost will be assumed by the
State Highway Department.
Most noticeable of the city im-
provement projects is the widening
of South University street from
Washtenaw to East University
where workmen have been busy
with caterpillars, air hammers and
concrete-laying equipment for the
past few weeks. Completion of this
project is due about October 1.

It had granted the company a
$660,000 rate increase, but on
July 31 Judge Coash ordered the
cofmmission not to interfere with
the collection of the full amount
the company asked for. The com-
pany was required to post a
$500,000 bond to guarantee re-
funds to its customers if after
a rehearing the full rate is not
fully allowed.
The commission said that JudgeI
Coash's opinion had "no precedent
in the history of rate collections."
It added that the opinion
amounted to giving utilities the
"right to collect whatever the traf-
fic will bear for its services."
BEFORE JUDGE Coash, the
company argued that the amount
permitted by the commission was
not enough to continue operations
and tQ installimprovements of ser-
vice.
Judge Coash had also dismissed
a companion suit by the city of
Ludington asking that no rate in-
crease be allowed because of poor
service.
