The Bells of Break '07

On March 16, 2007, three unnamed students broke into the Admissions Office in CFA by climbing in through a barely-opened window, then picked the lock on the file cabinet of Beth Jonsberg to get at a set of Master Tour Keys for the school. With keys in hand, the three adventurers then set their sights on Old Main.

Once inside Old Main, the students went up the Old Main Stairs to the dented door to the bell tower, whose lock was then picked -- it took skill. The students then entered, picked the lock to the trapdoor, and looked out upon Galesburg from the roof, each taking a turn to touch the bell.

Afterwards, the Bells Of Break '07 themselves started when the students picked the lock to the bell's control panel, then set the bells to ring every hour-and-ten-minutes (like a Class Period) all night, beginning at 11:00 PM, for as many nights as it would take for security to figure out what had happened.

The bells rang nightly for six days.
