One observer noted that it was the first “psychedelic happening” to occur at the University since the fountain itself appeared on the scene.

Artwork Removed They were thwarted, though, as workmen converged on the scene Monday and quickly re in o v c d the offending artwork, thereby restoring the fountain to its for in e r splendor of dead leaves, puddles of stagnant water, and assorted fungi. They neglected, however, to remove the fountain. Commenting on the incident, an official from the School of Architecture and Allied Arts said, “We sympathize with the stu dents.
