STATELY NEW GATE TO BE DESIGNED AT CAMPUS ENTRANCE
     HAMMOND -- A primary entrance of Southeastern Louisiana University will soon be
graced with a  $85,000  grandoise gateway and flower garden at University Avenue..
     The gate, which is being financed by the Student Government Association (SGA) and the
university, will ultimately be replicated at other corners of the university,  Provost Randy Moffett
said
     The first gate is scheduled for completion July 11. The gate will not only serve as a
friendly welcome post, but also enhance campus beauty, Southeastern officials said.  The new
gate is part of several construction and rennovation projects  currently underway or planned on
campus in upcoming months.
