Where did this word come from, as in this particular article? Is it just a joke, or did someone use this word in reference to this subject. If so, who? - Whoa Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:38:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7559-ul-prof-refudiates-ind-in-gazette-story#comment-13695 ULM would now like to be known as Ohio State. - Warhawk 1 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 15:37:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7559-ul-prof-refudiates-ind-in-gazette-story#comment-13694 The University of Louisiana was a fictional university in the 1988 film Everybody's All-American and the 1998 film The Waterboy. At present, no single institution exists with the specific, official name of the University of Louisiana without geographical designation. The historic public "University of Louisiana" became the private Tulane University of Louisiana. Later, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (successor to the University of Southwestern Louisiana) and the University of Louisiana at Monroe (formerly Northeast Louisiana University), which are members of the contemporary public University of Louisiana System, are legally required to bear their geographical locations as part of their names. Act 45 further stipulated that no one school could change its name to "The University of Louisiana," that two would have to change their names simultaneously, and include additions to their names to differentiate them. - Warhawk 1 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 15:36:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7559-ul-prof-refudiates-ind-in-gazette-story#comment-13691 What's this "UL" of Acadiana referred to in the article? I know that there is a ULL in Lafayette, but in the state of Louisiana the first Univerisity chartered by the State Legislature hasnt called itself the Univeristy of Louisiana since 1884 when the Legislature changed the name to reflect the Tulane Educational Fund's oversight of the charter. Its in the state constitution, plus its well know history. So why is the former USL trying to rewrite Louisiana historical precedence and fact? it's like trying to assume another's identity and histury by mind games. - The Truth Tue, 04 Jan 2011 13:01:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7559-ul-prof-refudiates-ind-in-gazette-story#comment-13690 It is interesting that Morrow is upset because of the professor's faith. It is amusing that Morrow's outrage comes from defending an unproven theory. Is this too not another form of faith? - Sharp Stick Tue, 04 Jan 2011 12:20:04 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7559-ul-prof-refudiates-ind-in-gazette-story#comment-13679 You're telling me this is a prof @ UL???? What if I don't want my kid being taught by someone like this? I don't trust anything he would say. This is the kind of stuff a prof, who wants or expects any credibility, needs to keep to himself until his teaching days are over. I would definately want my kid to drop his class. - Morrow Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:20:30 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7559-ul-prof-refudiates-ind-in-gazette-story#comment-13667 What expertise in biology, or even science, does John Oller bring to the table? What experience does he have besides joining the Louisiana Family Forum in partisan political hackery? This statement - "Darwin’s too-dull tools can’t refute the existence of an intelligent God." - shows just how ignorant he is on the subject. Science takes no position on god. Evolution does not try to refute the existence of god. Evolution explains the diversity of life, not how life began or why. What are Oller et al so scared of? - Resident Mon, 03 Jan 2011 14:45:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7559-ul-prof-refudiates-ind-in-gazette-story#comment-13656 If I may veer violently away from the subject of the article for a second... The first thing that caught my attention when I clicked the link was the banner at the top of the website that read, "The vital measure of a newspaper is not its size but it's [sic] spirit." Proofreading! Attention to detail! Clearly, this Acadiana Gazette is a credible publication. It is spirit, indeed. - Stelly Mon, 03 Jan 2011 12:30:59 +0100
