And there were congenial hosts to direct visitors and brothers and wives throughout the Kappa House on tours in the utmost fashion so they could view the beautifully decorated rooms—numbering over 46. Like all Kappa events it was a “family affair” that everyone had a joyous time engaging in. With the weather being so agreeable Saturday many could be seen snapping pictures of the ultramodern “Kappa Castle” and hundreds of guests attending. After touring the interior guests were seen resting in the modernly decorated and furnished lounge of the House while the women refreshed in the gaily decorated Powder Room done in fresh pink. An assortment of dainty cookies and delicious punch was available to quench the hunger and thirst of visitors at the delightful event—a varied supply was always on hand. During the course of the evening guests were serenaded by the Kappa brotLp»u wno made recordings of some of their favorite fraternity songs.

Description Is Elegant The contemporary exterior of the Elder Watson Diggs Memorial is enhanced by similar decor on the interior, decorated by Davann, Inc. Its living room has Bigelow all wool “Director” blue-green carpeting.. Draperies are of^decorfitor burlap, fully-lined, properly weighted and extended overYdtoeh wall area for a warmer feeling. Solid color panels alternate to give a broad strip effect in tobacco-teal-toast. The teal blue-green blends with the carpeting and the tobacco and toast blend with the ivory walls. Corner Thomas couches are in toast and black checks, accented by white leather-sling chairs, 48” lamps and large white ash trays. Solid walnut Thomas end tables with plastic tops are included. The dark couches pick up the black marble topped round cocktail table between them. The Fraternity Crest hangs over the fireplace. The grand piano is placed in front of the 20-foot

window.

EFFECTS OF LARGER AREA The recreation room decor is the same as the living room so as to give the effect of a larger area with the exception that orange is used as an accent color. Two orange nylon upholstered chairs and orange ash trays accent the blue-green carpeting, toast-teal-tobacco draperies, the blue-green Thomas couches and walnut tables. The Library color scheme is royal blue-green-beige. Firth Woolturf carpeting was selected in a ripe wheat color. This is a shaggy soft carpet that stands up like a^field of ripe wheat. On it is solid walnut furniture consisting of two large study tables, chairs upholstered in royal blue and green. The decorators selected a sheer undercurtain in a contemporary block design in dacron which combines all the colors in the room. This serves as a practical way to keep thoughts from straying to outside activity when students are trying to study. An over drape of burlap pulls over this, if desired, in a color that matches the carpet perfectly. A 36” walnut contemporary wall clock graces the ivory walls. A round, marble cocktail table is surrounded by four green leather Thomas chairs. The table is graced by a bronze bust of Lincoln. The dining room has 10” boat shaped walnut plas*‘c topped tables with solid walnut Jasper Chair Company chairs. The chairs are upholstered seat and back in olive, mustard, off-white and Russett Naughyde. Draperies have large masculine interest objects on ivory background in colors used on the upholstered chairs. Amber ash trays rest on the tables. POWDER PUFF ROOM The ladies powder room has pink carpeting with matching pink velvet pouff and vanity cushions on gold colored vanity chairs. The gold sounce on the wall above the pouff with matching pink candles grace the off-white and gold etched paper on the walls. The entrance hall has a three-seat Thomas bench with lamp tabic attached in solid walnut with walnut plastic on the table top. It is unholstered in gold all-nylon fabric. A tall lamp and a five-foot Alania tree plant in wooden tub stand beside the bench. Three 24” smoking urns in gray and steel are in proper places. Davann has done a most excellent job and the results will delight the most discriminating taste. Outstanding in the Kappa House arc a lounge, music room, two dormitories, 30 study and sleeping, doubles and a dining room for 80 men.
