Hmm, there's a thought.  So the bell will deteriorate faster if more Laker

Hello, Clarkson Athletic Department?
 
(for those of you not in the know, Clarkson is the home of "that damn bell"
so-called by Ken Dryden and others.  Many an opposing goalie has been forced
to listen to the thing after a Clarkson score, or during a stoppage in play
-- as I recall, it's right over the net the opponent defends for two periods)
