Sculptor David Heberling (left)does not even seem to be straining as he apparently sing-handedly eases his massive 18-foot-tall creation into place in the "urban sculpture park" at Fourth Avenue and Catherine. Actually, a giant crane is doing all the heavy work (note the straps at the top). The work, made of steel and weighing 3,500 to 4,000 pounds, represents a portal or gate. Pedestrians will walk between it two legs. An official unveiling is scheduled for noon Saturday. The $4,000 work was paid for by a Michigan Arts Council grant. The plaza, planned by Ann Arbor Tomorrow, was completed with workers unemployed under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act.

In yesterday's rain the men of Gomberg House in the University's South Quadrangle (left) pulled and pulled for about five minutes in the Homecoming tug of war across the Huron River at Island Park. The Gomberg House team won the tug of war, pulling their opponents, the men of Taylor House (right) [this photo] in South Quadrangle, into the river. The tug of war is a traditional Homecoming event.

"The city's new pools have been a long time coming, and the weather has been a long time getting hot the way summer should, but it looks as if it's all coming together now. First pool to open was Buhr Park., shown in the pictures here, and if everything goes just right - equipment works, no leaks and no unplanned for happenings - the parks department will open the other two pools (Veteran's Park and Fuller Road) with a bang on the Fourth of July. Meanwhile city youngsters have been enjoying a "wet run" at Buhr- splashing in the water, sunbathing and card-playing on the spacious deck, diving off the high boards. So the rest of you water lovers get set for the next weekend. The lifeguards are ready to go, the water is fine. Come join us."
