Ok, good. When I heard that I was shocked to be honest. If we rang the bells all day for something that happened an arbitrary number of years ago and killed 168 or more people, we'd be ringing our bells a lot I think.

We contacted somebody, I didn’t hear who (through the paper) and from what I heard:
-It’s kinda like when your alarm clock turns back on due to a power outage and its blinking, so it shows that the Belk Tower was also plugged into the network as well
-We also don’t think it’ll be fixed until tomorrow.

this whole thing is hilarious to me. :lmao:

It’s still going.

That was the only thing to look forward to for those 8am classes. I too, was a freshman that year with 8am classes both semesters. The chimes were the only thing that could put a smile on my face that early in the morning.

It played music when I was there 2 1/2 years ago. It would chime at the top of the hour. Even played the fight song!
