Margaret Murdoch, a 1918 Cal graduate, has been playing the carillon bells in the Campanile since 1922. Since then, she has become well known. She was interviewed by Charles Kuralt on network T.V., and is heard playing the carillon in Garff Wilson ' s recording of Dickens ' A Christmas Car- ol . A talented musician, she adapts various pieces of music to be played on the levers that operate the bells. These bells are played by pushing one of these levers which pulls a string-like cable attached to a bell. Ms. Murdoch confides that when one of these strings breaks, she calls a repairman to inform him that she busted her G-string again! Leonard Johnson has been the Campani- le guide and elevator operator for several years. He is extremely knowledgable about all aspects of the Campanile, espe- cially the technical workings of the clock and the history of the tower, including stories of the numerous pranks that have taken place since the tower opened. Visit him sometime. 11
