OSU Gets Firefoxed
How we did it

After thinking of a bunch of ideas, we thought of using chalk to draw a huge Firefox logo on the quad outside the Memorial Union Building at Oregon State University. The idea was pretty cool, but, being students, we couldn’t really find the time during the week. Finally, Friday arrived, and we were itching to do it. Time: 2315.Sidewalk chalk is expensive, and for the size of our project, quite inadequate. Instead we used a mixture of corn starch, food coloring, koolaid, and water.
