For whom the machine tolls
Students are surprised
that the campus chimes
are produced by a
programmed machine
By Kristina Rudinskas
Student Activities Reporter
On a sunny day in Eugene, you
can hear the birds chirping and
students laughing with their
friends, but blending into the
background the sound of bells
ringing can be faintly heard.
The Carollonic bells that have
helped students keep time on
campus since 1951 are often ig
nored today. Located in the EMU,
the Westminster bells sound out
from four amplifiers on top of the
building every 15 minutes.
The bells are actually digitally
produced in a programmed ma
chine made by Schulmerich Car
illons Inc. and maintained by
Mike Kraiman, the technical ser
vices manager.
The Student Senate purchased
the first set of bells for $3,500 in
1954 along with private donors
from the classes of 1943 and 1953.
The bells were originally intend
ed to become a part of the Univer
sity tradition and were going to be
moved to the campus chapel that
was supposed to be built at a later
data.
Many students in 1954 worried
the bells would break their con
centration and distract them
while working. One student sued
the board of regents for $1,000 for
“mental damages” when a similar
bell system was installed at the
University of Colorado.
An Associated Press story cited
in an Emerald editorial from Jan.
20,1954, said the student tore up
his report upon hearing the bells
chime "Hold that Tiger” and the
student rated the experience as
extremely disagreeable.
The 1954 system wore out in
1990 and the EMU Board of Direc
tors, with the help of private
donors, purchased the current
system in 1995 for $20,000.
The system has 37-note carillon
bells digitally sampled from actu
al Westminster bells and pro
grammed to ring every 15 min
utes.
The bells start at 7:30 a.m. and
continue to sound until 11 p.m.
every weekday. The trick to
telling time using the bells is to
listen for the number of tones. Fif
teen minutes past the hour, the
bells sound out four distinct
notes; 30 minutes past there are
eight notes; 45 minutes after the
bells ring 12 notes; and at the
hour the full segment sounds. At
12 noon and 6 p.m. the bells
sound out the University fight
song.
During special events like grad
uation, the bells will ring out the
song “Pomp and Circumstance,”
Kraiman said.
The bells can be programmed
through a special keyboard that
transfers the notes to a digital
card. The card can be inserted
into the Carollonic bell machine
and echoed across campus
through a 200-watt amplifier.
The machine came with several
pre-programmed songs and se
quences, including several Beat
les songs, Kraiman said.
It can be confusing for some to
determine the EMU bells from an
other set of bells that chime from
a church near 18th Street and
University Avenue, Kraiman said.
It can sound like stereo bells
when students walk near Mac
Court, he explained.
The location of the bells has
been confusing for many students
who don’t know where the
chimes are coming from, Kraiman
said. When he takes students on
tours of the EMU, most are sur
prised to discover that the bells
are located in a closet.
“You open the closet and show
them and say ‘Here’s what it is,”’
Kraiman said. “You can watch
their jaws drop.”
