UND Student Senate splits on nickname http://www.northscape.com/news/docs/0222/0222nickname.htm <excerpt> Dozens turn out for more debate By Stephen J. Lee Herald Staff Writer After 90 minutes of spirited debate from an unusually large audience, the UND Student Senate failed Sunday to override a veto of theirJan. 31 vote to change the Fighting Sioux nickname. The override vote was 11-11; a two-thirds majority, or 16 of the24-member Senate, was required for an override. Two memberswere not present at Sunday's meeting. The vote is largely symbolic; it serves only as an advisory vote to theUND president, who would make any such name change. But the Senate's action has engendered debate the past month on campus, in the news media and in Bismarck, where a resolution to change the name was soundly defeated by the state House. <end excerpt> -- American Indian Sports Team Mascots http://www.geocities.com/~earnestman/1indexpage.htm "Little drops of rain wear away the greatest of stones." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We now have over 85,000 e-mail communities.
