The bells atop South College are rung daily by student ringers. By Holly Schroll Staff Writer Rumors have been circulating for years about the familiar melodies which frequently emanate from Campus Row during lunch.
Some students believe that a mechanism or timer creates the music.
Some don't know that it comes from South College. Others don't even think about it at all. I have heard rumors about a hunchback kept locked in the tower, forced to play the fight song until his hands blister. I have heard yarns spun about a wicked fire that engulfed South College early in the century, trapping the bell player up in the tower. The ghost of this faithful bell player is now said to haunt the tower during the noon hour, playing song after song in the hopes that he will finish his repertoire before Y2K comes and he turns into sea foam.
