emerges a striking view of the
brilliant, eccentric girl who be
came one of America's great
novelists.
Taboo to Fashion
In a period when "an elabo
rate flufliness tempered with
Victorian modesty" was the
standard feminine style, "Billy"
Cather appeared at the Univer
sity with her hair "short and
uncurled," cut in a "very stubby
pompadour," and "shingled and
parted on the side."
During her sophomore year
-he let her hair grow for her
role as Lady Macbeth in a stu
dent theatrical production Her
habitual dress, however, contin
ued to be remarkable.
"Invariably she wore severely
tailored suits with comparatively
short skirts, shirt-type blouses
with while starched fronts and
linked cuffs, and usually a straw
hat of a flat design," Shivcly re
ports. "Indifferent"
Letter writers say that Willa
Cather was "very egotistical" and
1 "indifferent to other people, ana
; that "she had no friends and
' wanted none." Many descriptions.
' however, sav she was "courte
ous." "affable," "alert," and
"vivacious."
! "The truth." Shively concludes,
"seems to be that, conscious oi
her unquestionably remarkable
! abilities, she was self-confident
and rather assertive, and per
haps a little lonely. That she had
some good friends cannot be
questioned."
Miss Cather was a:i energetic
participant in student activities
She was editor of the Sombrero.
I a senior yearbook issued in 1894.
She wrote for and edited the
i Hesperian, a campus publication
i which represented ihe "anti-
: Greek" group. In addition she
served as critic, i'nd later as sec
retary of the Union Literary so-
1 ciotv': appeared in at least three
productions of the University
Dramatics club: and served, dur
ing her senior year, as dramatic
critic and columnist for a Lin

Bell Tower Wins
Place in NU Life
By Glenn Rosenquist
The bell tower has come into
its own. No longer is it dubbed
"The Singing Silo."
No longer do they suggest re
christening it "Lover's Leap," the
place for disillusioned pinmates
to end it all. The "Silo" is now
the Carillon Tower, and it is
clearly a part of University life.
The $85,000 structure, which
was a gift of University Alum
Ralph S. Mueller, got its first
workout during Homecoming
week end when it was dedicated.
Since then it has been used daily
to herald the changing of classes
and to nng out the hours.
After every victorious home
basketball game, as spectators
pour out of the Coliseum doors,
they are greeted by a concert ol
Husker songs. The concertmis
tress is Gwen McCormick, a
Cnivcrsity junior from Lincoln.
Gwen must leave the basket
ball games several minutes early.
She walks across the street to
the towor, lets herself in the
control room, turns on the "juice,"
and begins to play.
Variety of Songs
I What the gamc-gocrs hear are
! songs like "Huskeiland," and
There's No Place Like Ne
braska." There is always at least
one song played for the opposing
team.
The tower is actually a Uni
versity buiiuing. It is not some
thirni ' like a tomb, or a grave
stone. The shall is heated from
ih. I'm versitv tunnels, and it
contains, among otlier tnings,
some furniture, a staircase and
several rooms. Perhaps it doesn't
have m:ul service, but it is a
University building anyway.
Gwen practices during the
days. Of course, the amplifier is
not connected. The bells can just
ho hearH in the control room.
"People are always knocking
on the door. But no visitors are
allowed, and I can't let them in,"
says Gwen.
Inside Carillon
A very interesting procedure
can be observed from inside
when the automatic chimes are
about to ring. The machine start;
to buz: a red light comes on
and then the chimes ring. Next
the liuht goes off; the buzzing

The granite shaft is 16 feet
in diameter. The tiny control
room is at the base of the shaft.
This room contains the amplify
ing equipment, a small table,
bench and the console.
The keyboard of the console
is unusual in itself. It is much
tikn a ni.mo keyboard, except
that it is only two octaves wide.
The bells themselves are long
pencil-like rods from 13 to 24
inches in diameter, which, when
struck by tiny hammers, pro
duce the bell-like tones. These
tones, when electronically am
plified, are considered by many
experts to produce better music
than sets ot bens weignmg up iu

ing the bells weighs only 200
pounds.
"Simple weioaies
Gwen tells of overhearing one
tnHrmt taikinc about her chime-
playing. He thought that the per
son who plays the auer game
concerts must be just learning
how to play, the melodies were
so simple.
