Sure it is considered a weird attachment as far as society is concerned, but these young men feel they are protecting a piece of history. They don't want to be like the dozens of other houses that have had their walls painted a plain drab white. They like their walls the way they are and would like to keep them that way. Hard to say. They are supporting each other in the fight for what they believe in.
College life is about new and self-rewarding experiences.
So if they want to keep their walls blue and fight an entirely bright, drab, plain existence. More power to 'em. After all, there are a lot worse things they could do with their time. Copyright 1997 by the Iowa State Daily Publications Board. All rights reserved.
