USU-CEU becomes USU Eastern

U-SUC-EU no more

It seems lately, we’ve all been a little confused about what students are supposed to call our college since the merger with Utah State University. Everyone has just become so accustomed to the usual College of Eastern Utah title.
For a while now, the new name seemed to be set on Utah State University- College of Eastern Utah, and everyone was fine and dandy. Unfortunately, due to some recent discoveries, this name is not going to work; at least the acronym definitely will not work.
See, if the hyphen in USU-CEU is slightly rearranged, it becomes U-SUC-EU. Or “You Suck EU.” With two hyphens, the very name of the school heckles itself.
This situation was somewhat unavoidable since not many people could foresee that the slandering of the name was possible in such an easy way. The situation is also pretty funny, so no one should feel guilty if they had themselves a little chuckle. I know I did.
With U-SUC-EU making its presence known, the problem of an improved school name was brought back to square one. Fortunately, a new name has been chosen.

USU-CEU

It is really too bad that CEU couldn't have still been incorporated into the name. CEU has been part of this community for so long, I hate to see the name go away completely.

It seems to me that many of the things that were not going to change with the merger, have changed anyway.
