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.

The guy is still up there. When I got accepted, Cal flew me up from Los Angeles to visit the campus. One of the things we did was ride that elevator up to the top. The man playing the bells is inside a glassed room, but you can still see him...and surprisingly, it wasn't too loud up there.

Yeah, I've heard about the person that jumped off. Supposedly the day after, there was a huge target painted on the floor in the spot where he landed. Now there are just bars to prevent you from going outside, but it's still a great view. I believe the concerts are played every morning a bit before 8 am, 12 noon, and 6 pm.
