Rising to a height of 148 feet, the Belk Tower serves as a central focus point of campus. It contains an electronic Carillon that plays popular music and the alma mater three times during the day. The Belk Tower is a central gathering place for students. Whether you eat lunch, take a rest break, or just hang out with friends, the Belk Tower area is a hub of activity on campus.

The Belk Tower plays music and the alma mater three times a day. It contains an electronic Carillion. I would assume the shape and height would better amplify the sounds, but I really don't know.

It's a tower at University of North Carolina. It plays music, actually. See link below.

It's a dramatic carillon tower, that is, it is probably tuned to efficiently project the range of sounds produced by the electronic "bells." That's why it looks like an organ pipe.

Can't you guess what some people would see if they were in a perverted mood?
Of course, whether I want to be perverted or not, I would say that it appears to be a monument to McDonalds. You see, it's a white straw! ...just like the ones McDonald's puts in your drink.

Maybe it is a representation, a monument of somesort. I mean, does the Washington monument look anything like Washigton?

It actually looks like a gigantic organ pipe, like the ones in large churches. I know it chimes, so maybe that's it. Who knows?

It actually looks like a needle tip (like a hypodermic needle).
