Brothers returning in the fall had an eye-catching surprise when they stepped into a burnt orange living room and saw their trophies lined up along dark maroon walls. A decided departure from the old look (in fraternity decorating, the unconventional colors add warmth and cheerfulness to the house, each one performing a de finite function. The maroon of the trophy room is a particu larly striking emphasis for the silver and gold trophies and makes the room decidedly mas culine. A pink-tinted tan ceiling forms an excellent contrast to the maroon and to the dark wood work of the beams. Another color combination es pecially suitable from the psy chological viewpoint is found in the cardroom. Here bold yellow walls topped by a black ceiling help to give the player an adven turous feeling. In the dining room, lime green adds cheer in addition to providing a colorful background for the dark furni ture, and in the powder room a pink lightningish shade of fuchsia brings about the transition from the maculine accent to a more ferhinine one. Richard Shultz, house presi dent, is proud of the fact that al though most of the rooms have been redecorated they were done on a completely voluntary basis.
