W.R.L. Color Schemes Intrigue Sorority Redecorations On a certain dismal evening a female stranger to the UO cam pus chanced to walk past the home of a well-known sorority. Suddenly she became intrigued at the sight of several husky men unloading hales of cotton from a truck and carrying them into the building. Uytlather unusual,” she thought, fflstill, I’ve heard that they do ■finny things down here.” She walked on. Presently she ap proached another sorority house. Qn the porch several girls sat blindfolded. They were all study ing or conversing in normal tones without seeming to mind their handicap in the slightest. Hammer Head “Got to quit buying bootleg,” the stranger remarked to herself. On she went. Before long, how ever, she came to still another feminine sanctuary.

The unfortunate victim left in a hurry, and sought peace and quiet in the AOPi den. There, however, she found a room which had one wall painted a glowing peach color, in contrast with the other walls, which were of cream. Also in the AOPi’s she reeled un der the impact of a room done solidly with the most glaring type of aqua.
