Seeing Red (and White)
|
On June 10, the state Capitol in Baton Rouge will be filled with UL Lafayette supporters wearing red. Traveling via bus, supporters will meet with legislators and attend sessions in both the House and Senate chambers. The event is a collaborative effort between the university, city and parish governments, Acadiana area chambers of commerce, economic development councils, convention and visitors bureaus, South Louisiana Community College, Louisiana Technical College and Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise. Everyone joins forces to show the significance of working together as a region.

Sandy Himel and Lance Chance shared musical gems from the university’s collection of Cajun and Creole music at the Association for Recorded Sound Collection’s annual conference, which was held in New Orleans May 19-22. They are co-coordinators of the library’s collection of commercial Cajun and Creole recordings, as well as some unpublished recordings. As part of their presentation, the pair played several music clips, including “Prison Bars” by the late Creole fiddler Canray Fontenot and a lullaby by Cajun singer Marce Lacouture. |
