For some University students and faculty, Kraiman said the chimes may have become embed ded as an “audible reminder that time is passing.” But on Saturday and Sunday, Kraiman said the chimes do not start ringing until 10 a.m. because of complaints that arose from students in the residence halls who enjoy sleeping in on the weekends. Hurwitz said the bells’ particular sequence of notes follows the tradi tion of Big Ben, the bells inside one of London’s best-known landmarks. Hurwitz added that lots of colleges and universities have taken on the tradition of playing such chimes. “It does add a special touch to the feeling of an academic institution,” Hurwitz said. The currently used unit, which can be heard approximately a mile away from the EMU, was purchased by the University in February 1995 for $19,000 with the help of the Uni versity of Oregon Foundation. A 200-watt amplifier drives the bells through speakers perched on top of the EMU. But Kraiman said there are no moving parts in this unit, which means there is less of a chance that it will break down. Kraiman said the current unit has never stopped or broken down. The unit also has the capability of play ing 10 pre-programmed songs that have been recorded onto memory cards, which include everything from Canadian patriotic selections, Beatles songs, Bach, Handel and Rodgers and Hammerstein classics. A keyboard can also be connected to the machine to play live or recorded music, and a microphone could even be patched in to emit a human voice. “You could record the riff from (Van Halen’s) ‘Jump’ and put it in there,” Kraiman said. Kraiman added that the Office of the President requested that the bells play a sequence of remem brance songs after the Sept. 11 at tacks. And during commencement ceremonies in June, “Pomp and Cir cumstance” will be projected at the unit’s maximum volume. The unit also plays the Universi ty’s fight song Monday through Fri day at noon, as well as a slower ver sion of the song again at 6 p.m. The original fight song, “Mighty Ore gon,” was written by the Universi ty’s first salaried band director, Al bert Perfect, along with University student DeWitt Gilbert. Original ‘bells’ Kraiman said the original unit that emitted the Carillonic Bells was manufactured in 1948 by one of two companies nationwide that special izes in such special machines. The company, Schulmerich Carollons, Inc. is based in Sellersville, Pa. The original unit created sound elec tronically by miniature tuned bars that were hit by hammers and am plified sound through speakers. But back then, Kraiman said the tech nology was “unreliable,” and espe cially during the late 1980s, the ma chine “was in the habit of breaking down quite frequently.” “The bells were always electron ic,” said University archivist Jonathan House Emerald The ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ memory card will be played during graduation. Heather Briston, adding that the chimes were installed in May 1954. Briston said the installation cost was about $3,500, and the funding came from the class of 1943 and 1953 and alumni donations. Briston said University archives record that in 1954, it was “an excit ing time” for the campus to have chimes. She also said there were al ways plans to install the chimes in the tower of the EMU student union, where they still reside today. “It’s one of those things where it would be odd if they weren’t there,” Briston said. “Every good university should have chimes.” E-mail reporter Lisa Toth at lisatoth@dailyemerald.com. «iO™ Anniversary ■ ^ CELEBRATION I Friday - Sunday May 3-5 Enter drawing For chance to win $ 100 Gift Certificate Birkenstock Tune-ups Free cork sealing, Saturday 10-4 Sock bargains Save 20% on American Essentials and Calvin Klein socks ecco Sale Save 25% on all ecco footwear in stock Free gift Free cloth bag with purchase of regularly priced Birkenstock footwear Refreshments Friday 5-7 pm and Sunday at 11 am Anniversary Specials Steel Grey Arizonas Unique Birkenstock Styles and Colors* $39 limited quantity of odds and ends Anniversary hours Fri May 3,10-7 What's a few Sat May 4,10-6 more hours Sun May 5,11 -5 after 19 years?
