I read in this morining's newspaper that the Miami Indian Tribe based in Oklahoma withdrew its official support of Miami-Ohio's nickname, Redskins. Apparently Miami U. board of reagents will vote on whether or not to change the mascot. The paper went on to report that since this past spring, the University has solicited suggestions for a possible new nickname. What was the mascot before 1970 (it was reported that MU has been the Redskins since then)? Any thoughts about what the new mascot should be? I am a fan of Marquette University basketball (although I never attended the school), and while I had no misgivings about the changing of the mascot from the Warriors, I did think The Golden Eagles was a bit unimaginative. later jd HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
