asked the Jindal campaign Thursday to stop distributing the stickers with the school’s nickname on them. “The use of it in a political campaign may suggest that we’re supporting a particular candidate,” said the university’s spokeswoman, Julie Simon-Dronet.

Jindal did not return a call seeking comment.
