...ARDEN O'CONNOR '00 was planning a special study break in her room with a tropical theme when things got a little carried away. Part of the tropical motif was a large kiddie pool filled with inflatable toys and candy. While filling the pool O'Connor spilled a large trash can filled with water in the Matthews fourth floor bathroom, flooding the entire bathroom with several inches of water.
