S
OMETIMES appearances can be deceiving. Unlike most living groups, the men of UPHAM HALL changed the appearance of their haJJ to look like a street New Orleans' "Bourbon Street." Hall members decorated their third floor like a paved street, complete with signs, bricks, and billboards to lure Houston Hall women to a little sister party. " It was our first time, so it was something new and everyone enjoyed it," said Doug Heikkila, hall president. "The hall plans to make it a tradition." After the success of "Bourbon Street," Upham planned a dance and cruise with members from Houston Hall. The Lake Couer d' Alene cruise was to be followed by an overnight campout. However, according to Heikkila the campout was cancelled. "With the bad weather
