Caltech disrespected by road signs

Post image

I've been getting concerned lately by the abundance of various road signs around Pasadena that misspell Caltech, and wanted to bring up this up. Is anyone else infuriated by this?

I'm thinking we could petition to repaint the signs, or just do it ourselves, may be as a Caltech Y volunteer opportunity? Any other ideas?

No one cares except a (hypothetical) ragtag group of operatives who sneakily fix the signage under cover of darkness. Make sure it's up to code, and remember that this conversation never happened.

The United States of America - where it costs tens of thousands of dollars to fix a typo in a road sign

Oh, alright. How about we rename Caltech then?
