Bells are gone from what I know.

The colors are painted on the letters by various clubs around campus. Often times they even get free paint from what i hear.

$10,000 does not surprise me. A small job like that is kind of complex in that its laying a lot of concrete on a slope. It has to be done by a very credible business, so that drives up the price. Otherwise I would have done it for $3000. It woulda looked horrible though.

Here is a story about the Pride Center's trouble with painting the letters->

So much for tolerance. Peace -
