Pool debate heats up as plans emerge p 9 Natural history museum joins list of premier state sites Louisiana’s Heroes and Heritage Trail will feature ULM as a place to visit by Cole Avery
The ULM Natural History Museum was added to Louisiana’s “Heroes and Heritage Trail” Thursday in a dedication ceremony held in the museum, located on the third floor of Sandel Hall. The goal of adding the museum to the list of other prestigious state museums is to bring awareness to what Secretary of State Tom
Schedler called “an absolute jewel.” Schedler visited the museum for the first time in April and said he was “flabbergasted” by not only the quality of the museum but also by how few people knew of its existence. Mary Durusau, director of museums for the secretary of state’s office, echoed Shedler’s praise of the museum. “It’s phenomenal what you have here, and anything we can do to shine a bright light on that, we will,” Durusau said.

The water ski team won its 23rd National Championship at the 33rd Collegiate Water Ski National Championships on Oct. 13-15, in Zachary, La. In the three-day event, the team won two individual titles. Sophomore Tyler Scott from Covington won the individual title for the
men’s slalom in 1 buoy at 39-1/2 feet off. “I don’t know if there’s a better feeling,” Scott said. “Coach (Treina) Landrum pushes us to be the best.” Junior Zach Worden from Deltona, Fla. won the men’s jumping title with 194 feet and 1,640.0 overall points.
