The Quad’s lush green grass wasn’t the only vibrant color to surround the columns during Tiger Walk on Sunday. Pink, yellow, black and several shades of blue livened up the scene, too. Worn by more than 5,800 incoming freshmen, the multihued T-shirts peppered the lawn like psychedelic ants swarming a lava lamp as students ran toward Jesse Hall, where Tiger Stripe ice cream awaited their arrival. In early-evening amber light, the Golden Girls danced, the color guard waved black and gold flags, and Marching Mizzou played Michael Jackson songs. After a thriller of an event, everyone beat it. It definitely wasn’t bad.
