ONE OF THE MOST photographed objects on the Hill, the campanile at least stands still while would-be photographers accomplish strange things.

CAMPANILE CAPERS
LIKE THE FABLED BEARS, there are big bells, middle-sized ones, and tiny ones. There are also the in-between ones. They seem dignified and austere in their silent belfry.
By LONNIE BARLOW
The campanile looks innocent enough from a distance; and it isn't very difficult to walk through it. But just start climbing; it's a monster. The narrow, winding staircase reaches right out and grabs at you. There's feeling you're in the dungeon of a medieval castle.
Then you get to the second level and stop for a breather; then another staircase, just as narrow. But you make it, and get the first glimpse of the carillon.
Ascending the narrow ladder is no easy process for a photographer carting a camera, flash bulbs, film holders and other paraphenalia. But the trip is worth it as the view is beautiful. But an elevator would help.
