Interesting thing I've heard about the Campenile, though: they say that the road that leads downhill towards California Hall (and splits Wheeler Hall and Doe Library) was made because, should the tower fall during a quake, it is designed to fall in that direction so as to not take down any buildings with it.

I wonder if it's true?

I never heard that one. YOu used to be able to take an elevator to the top, but someone jumped off and died when I was a student there and they glassed it all in. I used to enjoy going up there to watch the man play the bells. Do they still have someone playing the bells? Or, is it all electrified now?

THey used to play long concerts on Sunday mornings and shorter concerts during the week at 6 pm and noon. It was fascinating to watch him pull the levers.
