Once a fountain...





You may have noticed the rebirth of the un-functioning fountain residing between Admin North / Admin South. It's much prettier-- a planter or tree garden, if you will.



What a huge improvement over the cement monstrosity that existed for how many years? Did those lights ever work?



If only I had a before photo to compare. Maybe you have one to share.

Get Your Maroon On!

Yikes! From my vantage point at Saturday’s Trojans game against Memphis, there was a sea of blue tigers across the court.



Come on, Trojans fans. Start wearing your maroon to cheer on the team. Let’s show a united front at the men’s and women’s basketball games. And I’m not just talking about UALR students, faculty, and staff. I’m talking about ALL of our fans.



We are Little Rock. Not Fayetteville, not Jonesboro, not Conway. And proud of it! Don’t have a maroon shirt? I’ll try to fix that. Let me hear from you.
