While the Indian symbol was ubiquitous for many years before it was dropped in 1974, it was never formally adopted by the college." Well, prominent display in the student newspaper and on team uniforms certainly is "ubiquitous." "The latest effort to identify a college mascot began to take shape during the spring when the Dartmouth Student Assembly polled the campus to gauge interest in the idea. More than 600 e-mail messages and 150 mascot suggestions later, the Student Assembly decided the project was a go. Earlier this week an email message -- a blitz in Dartmouth-speak -- was sent to the entire student body asking for a vote on the 13 finalists as chosen by a student focus group. Balloting closes on Aug. 17, and it is expected the majority of students away for the summer will be online before then with a chance to have their voices heard." The rag probably should've elaborated on the student focus group and the true results of the initial e-mail poll. 2) Music Club to Get Mojo's Working? --no link available "Hanover -- There's been a rising chorus in the Upper Valley calling for more music venues, especially in this well-heeled college town."

Posted by Nilanjan at 10:37 PM (0 comments) MascotsI personally think everyone should vote for the most outlandish one on the list (Salty Dog) just to prove once and for all how doomed to failure this is.I'd also add that the Indian was the second most popular choice in the original survey. I guess it's unsurprising that they wouldn't even include. God forbid the unwashed masses actually get to decide... Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by Alston B.

Last spring, Student Assembly polled the campus to find out if there was an interest in finding an official mascot to represent Dartmouth College. Your response was an overwhelming yes! You answered us in over 600 blitzes and with over 150 mascot suggestions. These were trimmed down to a list of 13, based on the popularity of the concept and its potential to be a unifying mascot for the Dartmouth community. Below are the thirteen suggestions that made the final cut. Please vote for one of the suggestions by sending your preference to Student Assembly by Sunday, August 17. *******Please vote for ONLY ONE on the options below******* -Bear -Big Green Giants -Dr. Seuss Name (Grinch, the Cat in the Hat, or another creative name) -Evergreens/Lone Pine Tree -Foresters/Woodsmen -Granite -Moose -Penguins -Phoenix -Polar Bear -Wolf -Salty Dog -Yeti (Mythological mountain creature) Full post and comments below the fold.

But a potential problem, though, is the hit-or-miss nature of evening-oriented businesses. Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by alex at 10:53 AM (0 comments) |
