A wooden board spray-painted with the words “REPLACE THE FLAG” stands in front of the UTRGV flagpole last Thursday on the Brownsville campus. UTRGV freshman and U.S. Army veteran Russ Blaha put up the signs to bring attention to the torn and worn-out flags on campus. Blaha had been requesting for a month that they be replaced. After he posted the signs, University Police quickly replaced the U.S. flag.
