Beck Tribune Staff Writer Making a virtue of necessity, Weber State College is currently beautifying the western part of its campus, thanks to a major gift from the family of the late Ada Llndquirt. When completed, the Ada Lindquist Plaza will contain greenery and walkways surrounding a reflecting pond and a large fountain, the whole thing adjacent to and connecting with a flood control retention basin. The basin will contain two islands, one of w hich is expected to be used for small musical and performing groups. The idea originated in the board rooms of the O.C. Tanner Co. Barbara Tanner, wife of the companys president, Norman C. Tanner, and a daughter of Mrs. Lindquist, had long wanted in some way to memorialize her mother. The company provided the seed money, she said, and she and her family brother John Lindquist of Ogden and sister Jean Pell, took it from there. also of Ogden We put money aside, she said. We had been saving for a number of years. We had just been kind of looking around for something appropriate. Mrs. Tanner graduated from Weber State in 1935, when it was still a junior college. Mr. Lindquist also is a Weber graduate, and Mrs. Pell attended school there for a time. We told them (Weber State officials) we wanted something of this nature," she said, something that would enhance the campus, that would be used by everyone, but would also be a contribution to the citizens of the state. She said the school suggested two or three other projects before hitting upon one the family considered appropriate. The retention basin was already under consideration as a flood control device, according to Dean Hurst, assistant to the president of WSC for college development. Its function is to store runoff and underground water on campus. About 2 Vi acres in size, the retention basin is capable of holding about 22 acre feet of water during a peak runoff. Its anticipated depth is 18 inches, but the banked walls, eventually to be landscaped, will hold water to a much greater deDth in emergencies. The retention basin project merged into the in Lindquist Plaza idea, so that the catch-basin- , addition to being functional, w ill also be created "in a realistic setting, said Mr. Hurst. One island near the northeast comer of the pond will be connected to the plaza by a bridge; spectators will line the banks of the pond to enjoy music and theatricals. The other island, at the south erd, will also connect to the mainland. But it will also, he said, include a ramp for dont laugh ducks. The ramp comes out of the water. He said the plaza area is part of the campus development program were currently engaged in. The Lindquist money will help us to develop a large fountain, a plaza . . . planter boxes, a little reflecting pond where the fountain is located, sidewalks and terraces, beautified and landscaped." The project is on the west end of the campus, between Harrison Blvd. and the WSC administration building. Both Mr. Hurst and Mrs. Tanner declined to discuss the precise amount of the gift, but he called it "very generous and she admitted it was considerably more than the family had originally intended to spend. Its quite an expensive project, she said, but when it came up we thought it was such an exciting project . . The project was designed by Ogden landscape architects Mo9s and Grassli. We approved it, you might say, added Mrs. Tanner. Originally it was hoped that the project would be completed by the time school begins this fall, but Mr. s Hurst estimated that it is now about finished. Ada Lindquist, after whom the plaza will be named, died in 1962, the widow of the founder of Lindquist and Sons Mortuary in Ogden. She kind of befriended our company when it first got started," said Mrs. Tanner. She never went to college. She always encouraged us to go on . . . but she never went past the eighth grade, said Mrs. Tanner. two-third- the Salt Palace ground; i$ jv, C V UJ in a medium They envision a, 100,000 sculpture, financed be to determi-iedby the, jointly yet to be National Endowment for the Arts aud local contribu- if tions. Decision to go ahead with application for a National Endowment grant was made at a meeting of Max Smith, president of the Salt Lake Art Center board, Mrs. Cindy Bane, president of the Art Center Guild, Jane Hearn, acting director of the Art Center, Ruth Draper, director of the Utah Division of Fine Arts, Arley Curtz, Fine Arts Division visual arts coordinator and Mrs. Mary Behrens, guild member, W. Becky Tribe, project committee member, John John and James. businessman local Jarman, Mr. Jarman, who has been active in the idea cf said an securing a sculpture for an art garden, application for a grant of 50,000 has been placed with the National Endowment for the Arts, and reported Endowment officials seemed to be looking at the application favorably. He outlined the procedure and approximate schedule of events if the grant is approved. It is expected the National Endowment will make its decision sometime in December. If the decision is favorable, the Endowment will name three experts who will meet here in March or April wtih three experts to be selected by the local sponsors, these not necessarily local people. e After an inspection the group will meet, on an artist, and they will offer him to decide together the commission. He will submit a sketch or model, and if this is acceptable, the artist will be given a year in which to complete his work- -in his chosen medium. Mr. Jarman said he understood that of the total sum, $70,000 is for the artist and 30 for materials. In addition to the $50,000 tc be raised locally for the sculpture, an additional sum of approximately $16,500 also will be needed to bring the experts together, for their honorariums and for lodging and other expenses. Help in making the application was furnished by Mrs. Draper and her staff at the Division of Fine Arts, he said. Mr. Jarman's interest in the Utah project wa activated, he said, by an interest in the sculpture, The Burghers of Calais," by Rodin. While investigating small models of this work, he became acquainted with Dr. Albert Elsen, associate director of the Stanford University art department, who suggested seeking a grant. The acquaintance also brought a sculptural dividend to Salt Lake City. Mr. Jarman, on the suggestion of Dr. Elsen, has made arrangements for a traveling Rodin show to appear here in the summer of 1978, in which 24 pieces of the famous sculptors art, including Man with the Broken Nose, The Kiss, and some of the studies for "Balzac," will be shown. Dr. Elsen also will visit Salt Lake City at the time of the show for a special lecture, Mr. Jarman said. OGDEN 1 or. h,.

Mondays-Fridays- , Saturdays War V, CM, By Angela Taylor New York Times Writer Jigsaw puzzle fans who have already put together art works ranging from Botticelli Adorations through Jackson Pollock squig-gle- s can soon loon forward to some new challenges. A batch of puzzles is being made from the works of the late Dutch printmaker, M. C. Escher, whose lithographs and woodcuts have become something of a cult among what one art critic calls the psychedelic young. One can see his fascination: Why his posters sell and his works adorn rock music record jackets. Theres a bizarreness and humor about them, Why, in the lithograph called The Belvedre, does the man sitting on the bench hold a cube and contemplate the drawing of a cube? Do the man and woman in Renaissance dress who gaze outward from separate balconies know each other? Have they just had a quarrel? Similar questions fascinated Elliot Gallin when he saw his first Escher exhibition in California about six years ago. Gallin, who is 31 years old and part of the generation that took up Escher, traveled to The Hague and looked at more of the artist's work. He decided that the fun of discovering details in the prints might be enhanced if one were putting the pieces of a puzzle together. So he quit his job with a Seventh Avenue coat manufacturer, formed a company called Gallin Galleries and arranged with the artists estate to use the prints for puzzles for a royalty on sales. The new company is starting with six black and white Escher lithographs and one woodcut in color. After the 500 cardboard pieces are fitted, the completed picture could be framed. (Most measure 16 by 20 inches.) Because the pieces appear to be all one size, they form another fascinating pattern on the print itself.
