Where Murphy needed help was in assembling the sculpture. Actress Anna Bing Arnold (who performed in the 1930s under the stage name of Anna Kostant) contributed Anna Mahler's show-bizzy Tower of Masks for the entrance to Macgowan Hall. In 1964 the U.C.L.A. Arts Council and Regent Norton Simon bought Lipchitz' Song of the Vowels. The bulk of the collection came from the estate of David E. Bright, a Los Angeles industrialist who died in 1965.

...crash toll of F-104G fighter-bombers-known as Starfighters-rose to 70 when a German navy lieutenant safely ejected after his engine failed near Cologne. The noncombat loss of so many planes compares in military aviation only with the Luftwaffe's own horrendous record in the late 1930s, when it lost 572 aircraft in 1938 alone, including the mass crash of 31 Stuka dive bombers that blindly followed a flight leader through the clouds and smack into the ground...
