<p>Gutrade; echoing Alexadre's thoughts -- the taxpayers of California contribute approx. $3bn out of a $14bn budget to the UC system. I can assure you that no UC, particularly Cal, is trying to copy that junior university down on the farm. One could argue, however, that Stanford, by changing its nickname to Cardinal (the color), it trying to emulate H (with its Crimson color). LOL</p>
<p>But, your point is well taken about the fine work done by cc's.</p>
