WELCOME TO QUINNIPIAC The Quinnipiac Chronicle staff is excited to welcome the Class of 2020
Take advantage of what Quinnipiac has to offer When I first walked onto Quinnipiac’s Mount Carmel campus, my mind was made up. I knew this would be my home for the next four years. And it truly has been my home away from home, but there’s SARAH DOIRON one major reason Editor-in-Chief Quinnipiac holds a @SarahDoiron31 place so close to my heart. As a high school student, I mostly kept to myself. I stayed with my one group of friends and participated minimally in a couple of clubs and organizations. At the time, it was perfect for me. I was so engrossed in my studies and getting into college I didn’t feel the need to get involved.
But now as a senior at Quinnipiac, when I look back at my high school experience, I can’t believe what I was missing out on. I felt like I had wasted my time in high school, and I knew that had to change or my college experience would not be beneficial for me. Since the first day I stepped foot on this campus as a freshman I signed myself up and got myself involved. I committed myself to my organization, which happened to be The Quinnipiac Chronicle, and it helped me grow as not only a journalist, but as a person as well. The majority of my friends I made because I got involved. All of the people I
have met during my time here, whether it be members of administration, students or professors, it’s all because I got involved. I have made memories that I will take with me for the rest of my life and learned valuable lessons, skills and knowledge to help me succeed after I graduate. As I write this, I have never felt more accomplished in my life than I have at this point in time. Now that you are here, attending such a prestigious university, don’t waste your time. When you walk around the Quad during the involvement fair, don’t be afraid to sign up for a bunch of clubs and don’t be afraid to try new things. Who knows, maybe you’ll feel as accomplished as I do.
Don’t be afraid to try something new Everyone you meet when you get to Quinnipiac is going to tell you the same thing: get involved. And of course I’m going to tell you the same thing. Quinnipiac is a small school and it’s a lot easier than you think to become the leader, president, editor-in-chief, manager, etc. of any organization you decide to join. Don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone, either. Go to the involvement fair, the media summit, research organizations on DoYouQU and try to find something that catches your eye. You can even create your own organization and get it chartered. Whatever you try, make sure that you’re also trying something different. The “different” thing I tried was The Chronicle, and now look where I am. If I hadn’t gotten involved in several different organizations starting freshman year, I wouldn’t have a job on campus, the internship that I had, as many friends as I do, as
many connections as I do or as much knowl- “You Belong With Me.” The worst part of it edge as I do. was that apparently I was a terrible hummer The hardest part is taking the first step.

Behind the bell
The clock tower music is a tradition that is over half a century old By JENNIE TORRES Staff Writer
Across the Mount Carmel campus, sounds of music ring out at every hour from the clock tower on the Arnold Bernhard Library. While the library provides peace and quiet, its clock tower keeps people updated with the time through short jingles. Vice President of Facilities Operations Keith Woodward explained the origin of the clock tower. “When the Mount Carmel campus was proposed in the early 1960s, university officials had a different plan for the clock tower,” Woodward said. “The tower was going to be in the center of the Quadrangle and not attached to the library, but in 1964 or 1965, the government mandated that the tower had to be part of a building to qualify for government funding.” Woodward said the clock tower originally contained a Carillon system, which is the part of the tower that actually plays the music, donated by the Nils Sahlin family. But the new Carillon system has digitized music that cannot be played by hand. This feature makes it impossible to replicate the clock tower music on the system. A Carillon is a musical instrument that is composed of at least 23 Carillon bells, according to the Guild of Carilloneuers of North America’s website. The only time the Carillon was ever played manually was back in 1976, for Hamden’s bicentennial firework display, according to Woodward. It was manually played by a faculty member from a keyboard that was formerly in Alumni Hall‒ now the piazza of the Carl Hansen Student Center. Now, the music from the clock tower features tunes that originated from popular franchises. “New music is added to the bell tower playlist every few years,” Woodward said. “The uni-

The clock tower is located at the top of the Arnold Bernhard Library. versity’s senior superintendent of mechanical services goes through a music catalog and selects songs he thinks are reasonably recognizable.” Senior Alexi Mangili, said she would like Halloween-themed music to play when the holi-
day arrives. Mangili requested ‘This is Halloween’ as well as the ‘Monster Mash.’ The university’s method of choosing the clock tower music frustrates some students, such as junior Felicia Duch.
Some students mentioned not being able to remember some of the songs, including Duch, who said that though the music is refreshing, she wished there were more recognizable songs. “I understand preserving tradition,” she said. “I just think that it’s also important to include newer songs.” Duch suggested a song by Bruce Springsteen or the Jackson 5. Other students actually do recognize some music, like sophomore Austin Scudder. “I think they played ‘Sweet Caroline’ once and I was loving it,” Scudder said. Sophomore Nivea Acosta said she likes the music, except at night. “The music is really nice, but sometimes I find it really eerie during the later hours,” Acosta said. Despite that, Acosta said she appreciates the university’s efforts to offer students with unique musical snippets. “What other universities have that?” she asked. “At least here you get to hear ‘The Godfather’ theme and ‘Star Wars’ and that’s a nice change.” Acosta even requested for the clock tower to play a favorite of hers called, “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns & Roses. Sophomore Nhung An said she would prefer if the clock tower played music from the musical “Les Misérables” since she has a love for musical soundtracks. It is uncertain whether or not these requests can be implemented right away, but Woodward did confirm that the clock tower music won’t be silenced any time soon. “The Carillion continues to play the music thousands of students, parents, faculty, staff and other friends of the university hear each time they step foot on the Quadrangle on the Mount Carmel campus,” Woodward said.

FUN FACTS ABOUT PRESIDENT LAHEY FAVORITE ICE CREAM “You know, I don’t have a lot of ice cream. I don’t eat a lot of sweets. I haven’t had ice cream in 30 years… .I try to keep my weight. This is an interesting fact, I’m within about two or three pounds, I weighed myself this morning, of what I was when I came here 29 years ago.”
FAVORITE ARTIFACT IN GREAT HUNGER MUSEUM “Oh you know I have so many of them. I think the one I acquired first, the first piece, I brought it back practically in my arms. I think I did put it in the overhead, but I had it all wrapped up in protective bubble. And that’s ‘The Victim’ by Rowan Gillespie.”
FAVORITE MUSICAL ARTIST Huge Elvis Presley fan growing up, likes the Rolling Stones more than the Beatles.
FAVORITE MOVIE “The Quiet Man,” an Irish movie he watched around St. Patrick’s Day with his family.
FAVORITE THING TO DO WITH GRANDCHILDREN
FAVORITE CLASS FAVORITE Philosophy, first he was an English BOOK major, but switched to philosophy after taking his first course sophomore year. “Once I switched my major to philosophy I didn’t have any choice. I knew if I was going to make a living being a philosopher I could only teach. So I knew right from sophomore, junior year in college that I was going to have to go on to get a P.h.D, apply for a teaching job and teach philosophy, so I did not have any knowledge or idea about administration, let alone being a president, so that happened by accident.”
“The Phenomenon of Man” by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin “I’m a philosopher so my favorite books wouldn’t be anyone else’s favorite books, I’m sure.”
TV SHOWS
Puzzles, reading to them, “I try to make them laugh and just have fun with them. I really don’t do anything [in particular]..”
EVER HIKED SLEEPING GIANT? Yes, he has gone on the tower trail with his wife.
Political shows, sports, “Blue Bloods,” “Hawaii Five-0.”
