Quad Reconstruction

[CajunJack55]

Just curious. The Wall says University of Louisiana Lafayette. Our university logo says University of Louisiana Lafayette. What happened to "at Lafayette"? Isn't that part of our official name that we are required to use?

I noticed that as well. Also I noticed in the pic you can see something written under the "Lafayette" I wonder if that is the year founded or Ragin Cajuns??

i hope they dont over torque the "lafayette" letters too much. it will leave oversized holes once it gets "vandalized" and all the letters are ripped off.

It is illegal, "at" is the dominate feature of the law.

Thanks for the update Helmut.....it makes sense now.
And I agree about the lettering of the wall: from what it looks like, it does just say Lafayette, with no 'at.' And I think it says 'ragin Cajuns' underneath it. Very curious to see what it will actually say, because this is, after all, just a rendering.

I was also to get a quick pic of the new 'Louisiana' wall going up in front of Martin hall. Not much to see, but it looks like the foundation part is almost done. So we should start seeing it rise pretty soon.

haha, im gunna totally claim 100% responsibility for this one, i just remembered a convo from two years ago. As im leaving a sit down with t joe a long while back i said i was off to go and look for some kind of marker, grand entrance, crest or something to establish the school in the flick, to which his team was about to reply and i interjected "yeah i know...there's not really anything that says bam you are here... so i'll see what i can come up with". Two years later...here we are. Totally claiming this one, i am now wielding power over state budgets. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD

Rendering says "University of Louisiana Lafayette"

Terrible. But not surprising that this school doesn't know what to call itself ie UL-L

What should the sign say?

[TravlnCajun]

What should the sign say?

University of Louisiana
@ Lafayette

[SlappyCajun]

That's basically what it says minus the at sign.

[TravlnCajun]

yeah, but then its "legal"

[HoustonCajun]

University of Louisiana
@ Lafayette

Actually, it should say "at" rather than "@". Since we are talking legality of our name, the university logo also says University of Louisiana Lafayette (with Lafayette italicized). It should say Unversity of Louisiana at Lafayette. Below is our logo. Also below is the University of Texas at Austin logo. I wish our logo were more like this with the greater emphasis on TEXAS. Seems to me we should use our correct, legal name for official university business. Maybe part of the reason people call us Louisiana Lafayette is because that is what our logo says.

As you are well aware, the system by-laws provide the exact percentage that Lafayette needs to be in relation to Louisiana.
