[edit] Alcalde

The following was removed from alcalde and would fit in this article, just not sure where:

The Alcalde is the name of the annual yearbook of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, published from 1910-1998 and 2003-present, named in honor of Texas Governor Oran Roberts (1815-98), who signed legislature establishing the university in 1879.

Jareha, Probably the place to put it until the History section expands a little more is the Trivia section since you'll be able to put it in there without worrying about how to shoehorn in a topic that doesn't really exist. OF course, you'll have to re-word it somewhat even to do that. Also, what does the name Alcalde have to do with Roberts? Madmaxmarchhare 21:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I'll probably drop this into the article, after a bit of reworking, later today. Roberts was nicknamed "The Old Alcalde". jareha ^(comments) 22:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah, interesting. I'll probably work on the history section this summer, when I've got a little more time. Then, I'll merge in whatever you'll write and it will look spiffy. Madmaxmarchhare 00:33, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Added, hopefully you like the changes. jareha ^(comments) 01:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for adding to everyone's knowledge about SHSU; it looks good! Take care and we'll see you around. Madmaxmarchhare 02:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
