Carillon

 

This is the tower of the Campus Center at IUPUI - Indianapolis. The carillon tower opened on August, 2010, but I don't recall hearing it in recent weeks. It's programmed to play every half hour, but may be quiet because of the pandemic; the entire campus seems almost like a ghost town. Previously bustling with students going to and from classes, I can walk the two blocks from Michigan to New York Streets without seeing another person. The caretakers are working; I frequently greet maintenance people in the performance of their duties at the Nat. And I do see some students sitting in the halls with their laptops and smart-phones, but nothing as it should be - no purposeful bustle, no happy camaraderie.
