UPDATE!

The project was a major success.

In fact, the display is staying up for another semester. It has garnered quite a bit of attention and, to help its cause, the secretary likes it. Meaning, I can keep it up for as long as I want because she enjoys its color and interest. My profs all say that a LOT of people look at it, which makes me happy.

Next semester, I might play with it some more, adding and subtracting stuff for interest's sake.
