« ♦ FINISHED CONSTRUCTION Mm- After two years of dry silence, the SUB pit fountain resumes its bubbling and gurgling again, but this time the decor is distinctly constrasting. Rocks transported from Three Sisters, Oregon were used in the new fountain. A variety of ferns and fauna were also installed to add authenticity., I call (the fou- tain) a Three Sisters Fountainscape, said Clyde Thomas, co-designer and constructor of the fountain. Also involved in the designing and construction was sophomore, Ever Camua. Camua did the actual de- signing of the fountain on paper after sharing ideas with Thomas. The fountain is a gift from the graduation Class of 1987. The original fountain, a gift from the Class of 1958, was called the fish and lily pad pond, said Thomas. At the time the Student Union Building did not enclose the fountain. Future plans for the foun- tain include painting a mural of the Three Sisters Landscape along the wall facing the fountain. THANKS CLASS OF 1987!!!!!!!
