31 October 2001 | New students paint the Big C above Memorial Stadium the freshman color, green.

Beginnng in the 1950s, Cal students expressed their school and class pride by painting the Big C in their individual class colors.

Members of the Californians, a student organization sponsored
by the California Alumni Association, worked with the Rally Committee to organize the Oct. 28 painting party.
