[edit] Copyright

I'm rather confused about how changing a few words will suddenly make this a "legal" entry. I am a member of the Longhorn Band, the group that owns this copyright to history. I edited the /temp page to link to the LHB website —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.7.33.253 (talk • contribs)

Hey, sorry about my delay in responding. By rewrite, we don't mean to change a few words, we mean to take the information and write the article in one's own words. A good way to do this might be to read the original work, do something else for half an hour, and then try to write the article from memory. Anything you miss can be added back in by checking the original again, being careful not to copy things exactly across. Your stub on the /Temp page is very good. - Vague | Rant 09:23, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

Oh, and while it's true that the LHB owns the rights to the story of their history, this particular article was written by (presumeably) one person, and he owns the right to that specific article. - Vague | Rant 09:25, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Split

Should the section on the student organization be split out to a separate article? jareha ^(comments) 21:32, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UT El Paso

UTEP publishes that the Eyes of Texas is their alma mater too. I have spoken with a docent at the UTEP Heritage House and he had provided me scans of their athletic program. The scans can be found online. [1] [2]—Preceding unsigned comment added by Visser001 (talk • contribs) 11:39, 2007 March 9
