Actually, I don't think the fault runs under the Campenile. I took an earthquake class last year (great class, btw) and we took a field trip where we actually walked along the fault.

I believe it runs up through the Foothill dorms towards Memorial Stadium. Google Earth has a pretty neat file where you can view all of the faults in California -- it's fascinating how you can actually see evidence of the faults from these aerial photos.

I suppose it was all a part of the great Cal mythology. We all THOUGHT the fault ran under the Campanile. People would swear that they saw that tower sway during a shake.

I’m quite sure that there is some kind of fault that runs beneath the Berkeley Rose Gardens. That is why they would use otherwise valuble home sites for a rose garden. Doesn’t matter when it moves. Just put the rocks back and continue on with the rocks and the bushes in a slightly different place. It’s part of the slide area.
