Sad but true.

If only they could stop being cheapasses and put real bells in it. That'd be classy as fuck.

Fuck bells. Pay the salaries of faculty the school could not afford to keep. Bring back the paid research programs that were cut. Do things that physically help people. The tower is fine and paying a ton of money for real bells helps no one in any way.

turn around on your soapbox and preach to the athletics department about wasting money, but they probably can't hear you in the luxury resort of a stadium complex our shitty ass team has

The bell tower renovation/reconstruction would be funded by the SCO (State Construction Office). The money the SCO gets is never touched by the school nor does the schools give money to the SCO. In essence, both fixing the bell tower and bringing back the cut programs could happen at the same time because the money for them come from different places (but both from the taxpayers). Also, the SCO doesn't have to fund fixing the bell tower if the school itself or private individuals want to step in and donate money to fix it.

Fees and tuition had nothing to do with the RBC Center or Carter-Finley.

N.C. State to fix Bell Tower before graduation


Posted: Today at 5:48 a.m.
Updated: 24 minutes ago

Raleigh, N.C. — It's almost time for graduation, and North Carolina State University is rushing to repair a campus landmark damaged by lightning before the weekend ceremonies.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday that the school is bringing a platform lift to hoist a 1,500-pound hunk of granite back in place atop the tower.

Lightning knocked the granite loose Tuesday evening.

Vice chancellor Tom Stafford says he went the scene and saw a man carrying a piece of carved granite about a foot long and 10 inches wide. Stafford says he warned the man to return the stone, which had fallen about 115 feet from the tower's southeast corner.

Campus Police Capt. John Barnwell says officers are trying to find the man.
