The statue of UF mascots Albert and Alberta stands outside the Emerson Alumni Hall, marred by graffiti that was scrawled by an apparent rival fan Thursday. The vandal or vandals drew a rendition of the University of Miami “U” logo across both mascots and the word “Hurricanes” down Alberta’s left arm.
