This fact completely makes up for it:icon_wink:. I was just wondering how technically correct it was to have the plural form on a license plate that, in the case of most people, is on a vehicle that is primarily driven by one personQuote:

I'm sure the driver in question just meant to express that he is a fan of chigger alums in general. Not that he and his siamese twin both graduated from lsux.
I am in Ruston this week and was amused to learn that KNLU has changed its call sign to KULX.
Saw one of the license plate frames today that said "Alumnus".Quote:
