Maybe I was getting a special deal :-).  Probably requested some special
features.  Don't remember all the details, at this distant time.

My alma mater had only recently switched to orange and white (well,
mid-sixties) upon becoming one more of the University of Texas schools,
having formerly sported the blue, red, and gray of the old Confederacy.
Of course, that became a political no-no, for good reasons.
