Friday, May 23, 2003Re: Mascot WarsEmmett, if you haven't done so, check out the latest issue of the Review, all about Indians and budgets. On sports, from the Week in Review: "Lax Indians Scalp Ivy League." I'd also recommend Stefan's article for a current defense of the Indian and Joe Rago's for a description of Anand's "week-long series of discussions" that made the Indian ineligible. I think saying "discussion" might be a bit of an exaggeration.Last time they tried the moose it failed miserably. I doubt anything can prevent it happening again, since it is, quite frankly, a really lame mascot. More depressing though is how much of our money they're going to waste in the process. I mean the trade-in has been a failure (aside from a few free T-shirts in exchange for some old Tomahawk chops we found in an old storage unit when we switched offices), and the moose thing will probably waste even more money. An organization this absurd should not have the monetary resources they do (30K per year, is that correct?). Posted by Alston B.
