So if the name changes to leave off Lafayette is that going to make a difference in the school's status?

Not on the front end but on the back end (getting a job) "of Louisiana" and "ULM" will be of more credit than "at Lafayette" and "at Monroe"

1984 graduates of the "University of Louisiana" can attest.

Last night I was watching the Science Channel series Though the Wormhole. In this particular show the concept was about God, and man. Is God an invention of man, or is man from God? The important thing to UL is that our cognitive research center was featured in one of the experiments.

In this particular study, Dr. Povinelli was featured as a researcher at the University of Louisiana. No doubt there will come a time when ULM will see it in their own interest to crate space for themselves. We already see that in their preferred use of ULM in most thing.

In the meantime UL and the University of Louisiana continues to swath their way though the name jungle. Quit sweating the little things. We want this more than others do not want us to have it. The war is won, and one day there will be no pockets of dissent.

My wife and I saw that show the other night and really enjoyed it.

The plan comes less than a month after a Lafayette-area researcher and others sued to force the federal government to allow the chimps to retire

How will we every get the fund's to build the Master-Plan when we keep getting fined by killing our monkey's.......$38,571 could have gone to paint the wall of all those suites we plan on building......

Maybe we can release the monkeys into farmers office so they can sling poop at him.

you think they would go "all spider monkey" on him?

[gorcajun]

This is ridiculous, because one of those monkeys"donated his body to science".

A research chimpanzee that died during transit from a Maryland research center to the New Iberia Research Center near Lafayette was sick most of the trip, declining to eat and gripping his stomach, according to an investigation by the U.S.
