What happened to the bells? Clubs / Campus Life

I came back as a grad student this semester and I haven't heard the bells go off at all. And I've been on campus morning till night.

Usually, a bell from a tower goes off at a certain time. I forgot where the bells come but I remember hearing them

They're supposed to go off every 15 mins. And something must be wrong with them because I remember hearing them as recently as this summer.

How long have they rang? I'm legitimately curious. I left my soul in bldgs 9 and 17 and never heard them. Maybe I was that dead inside that outside noise just didn't register with me.

Edit. Never mind. Is saw the video. Yup, I was that dead inside walking around not hearing anything around me.

For as long as I can remember (I joined CPP in 2011).

Interesting. I can't say I recall any bell from my time. Then again I've only been on campus once since 2010 so if it's a newer thing then that's why.

Man I love those bells, but they always remind me of finishing a night in five nights at Freddy’s. They play the same jingle.

u/LightThemeSuperior Sep 10 '24

They could be out of service. The big elevator in bld 9 has been locked to the roof witch could be related to this.

u/LightThemeSuperior Sep 10 '24

Its back today, maybe your post reminded them to turn it back on, it is however 2 him behind every quarter hour

u/lemonlimespaceship Sep 10 '24

I’m like 90% sure they were ringing on schedule as of last semester, but I don’t remember hearing them over the summer. I wonder if they’re down for maintenance or something.

u/tinypoo1395 Sep 10 '24

I heard them once today. Maybe they were being worked on recently?

u/Outrageous_Passion_1 Sep 10 '24

They went off this morning around 9:45

u/S4ftly Sep 10 '24

u/EldritchSofa Sep 11 '24
