Mas ami Koizumi, of Osaka City,
Japan, a gradaute student in the
School of Education, is the first
Japanese nationalist to become a
member of the professional edu
cation fraternity, Phi Delta Kap
pa. He was initiated along with 39
other students in the School of
Education at recent ceremonies in
Lenoir Hall.
Koizumi was brought to this
country by Jean P. Booth, su
perintendent of schools, Kinston,
past governor of the 279th Dis
trict of Rotary, which is sponsor
ing the Japanese student's course
of study in this country. Koizumi
served as an interpreter ism
Booth while he was in Japan oca
an educational mission there aft
er World War n.
Dr. Earle O. Liggitt, Munhall,
Pa., former national president of
Phi Delta Kappa, was principal
speaker at the initiation cere
monies. He urged the extension
of educational leadership through
the fraternity, and Koizumi re
ported that he hoped to establish
a chapter in Japan upon his re
turn. .

What makes the bell tower
chime? It's none other than Joe
Fields, a senior in the music de
partment who lives with his wife
and family at 115 Jackson Circle,
Victory Village.
Joe has been playing the
chimes since August of last year,
and if he continues on through
August of 1953 as he has planned,
he will have played the Carolina
chimes longer than any other per
son. In order to play the chimes
or carillons a person has to be
a junior or senior in the music
department, and must act as an
assistant to the master carilloneur
until the latter graduates. Joe's
assistant is Fred Rierson, a Phi
Karma Sigma who is attending
sunW school and plays the
chimes on Wednesdays.
The bell tower, which was com
pleted in 1931, was built on the.
European system of manual con
trol. There are twelve handles,
like plw handles, according to
joe which are attached to the
clappers of the twelve bells in
the tower. The bell itself does not

The Carolina Summer Session

Hall.
The Chorus will be under the
direction of William Whitesides
wC-a Almonte Howell assisting at

cf the program will consist of
the three madrigals by Palestrina,
Gibbons and Morley, and two
American works, "Be Glad Then
America" by William Billings,
America's earliest native-born
composer, and "Alleluia" by the

move only tne clapper, witn
only these twelve notes, ranging
from C to E, it is possible to
play in only three different keys.
Therefore Joe must spend some
time on re-arranging songs to suit
the chimes. . .
Joe starts his concerts on the
chimes at 6:00 every evening with
hymns and ends up around 6:30
with "Hark the Sound." His fa
vorite on the bells is "Where Ere
You Walk," and he also plays a
lot "End of a Perfect Day" and
Ring Out Wild Bells.' During the
football season last fall Joe played
the favorite songs of visiting
teams all over the South, along
with the traditional Carolina fa
vorites. There is a practice board of cow
bells in the tower where begin
ning assistants used to practice be
fore they tried their hand at the
real chimes. For the past five
years, however, the board has
been out of use so now the as
sistants have to practice on the
bells themselves.
"They usually start on some
thing real easy,' Joe explained,
and then work up to the harder
pieces."
The bells range in weight from
around 3,500 to 300 pounds. The
sound of each bell is determined
by this weight, and the alloy de
termines the quality of tone. Of
the range from C to E, there are
only two accidentals, or black
notes as they would be on a pU
ano. When Joe wants to play a
real fast piece in one key, he fas
tens the handles he won't be us
ing and goes to town on the rest.
A native of Durham who has
been living in Victory Village
since his freshman year at Duke,
Joe is also band director at Chapel

What happens when quite un
expectedly the ghost of one's
first wife is conjured up from
"The t Other Side"?
This sort of situation can mean
trouble, especially if one is very
much married to a second wfe,
and if the ghost of the first wife
shows signs that seven years of
being "over there," as she calls
it, haven't apparently changed her
manners as a capricious vixen so
much as a shade.
That, in a couple of sentences,
is the plot of Noel Coward's
"Blithe Spirit," to be presented
as the first Summer Session pro
duction of the Carolina Playma
kers on July 10, 11, and 12.
Many critics consider "Blithe
Spirit" the gayest English v com
edy since Wilde gave us 'The
Importance of Being Earnest"
more than half a century ago.
Probably the role most vied for
by actresses whenever this play'
is given is that of Madame Arcati.
It is the sort of role that could
make an actress famous: in fact,
it did bring fame to Mildred Nat
wick who played the part on
Broadway.
"Blithe Spirit" was written
just before World War II, pre
miere being held in London in
1941. The overwhelming success
of the first night assured the
cast of a long run. For months
"Blithe Spirit" proved the most
enjoyable antidote to the terrors
of bomb-stricken London.
The comedy was given by the
Playmakers here in 1946, but
John W. Parker, director of the
present company explains that
there is a "sufficient turnover in
Playmaker audiences after six
years to merit production of the
play again. Besides," Parker said,
"we have to find a play that is
funny enough to hold attention of
an audience despite the summer
heat. . . .and among those plays
we have to choose from, Blithe
Spirit'- is one of the best."
The title of the play comes
from the first line of Shelley's
poem, "To a Skylark," but so far
as the play is concerned the title
refers to the character of Elvira
who is conjured up "From the
Other Side" after departing this
life seven years before. Other
than the title, Coward's play has
nothing whatever in common
with either Shelley or Skylark
The leads in the play are -les

wittiest ghost ever, to tread the

Ross and Hedgepeth went to
work on the course two months
ago at the suggestion of . Teddy
Danziger. They spent most of
their free hours working on it.
According to Ross the pair have
"tried to avoid a commercial at
mosphere." They think they have
an ideal location, a nice place, to
