yesterday was a pretty sweet day. sure it was St. Pat's day & all... but it's also Founder's Day here. not only that, but we're celebrating our 100th birthday as an institution of higher education. and, after more than 19 years of trying, we are finally going to become The Missouri State University. since we're a state school, any name change proposals had to go through all the legislative crap. so this is the first year it's made it through both chambers of the Missouri General Assembly (legislative branch). And our newly-elected governor, Matt Blunt, was on-hand yesterday to sign the bill, finalizing the name change. so, starting next August 26th, I believe, we'll be MSU... or MO State... or whatever catchy nickname they come up w/ to replace SMS.
