KU students, faculty find joy in playing 53 Campanile bells

The Campanile stands as a symbol of the campus and as a World War II Memorial to remember the 276 students and faculty killed during the war. The word campanile means "free-

has been a carillonneur, or
player of the bells, since 2000.
"There are not too many people all the way up here, but we do get some ladybugs in the corners during the winter." Berghout said.
Since its dedication in 1951, the carillon has had three University carillonneurs: Ronald Barnes, Albert Gerkin and Berghout. During the rededication of the carillon in 1996, Berghout was doing graduate work in music.
