Were those situations caused because of the nickname though? Changing the nickname will not prevent any of those situations from happening. Whether the nickname is Sioux or Spagetti-O's, the teepe will still be set up every year. Every once in a while, some stupid kids are going to do something idiotic. This isn't limited to the teepee though. Any time anything is set up on campus, it stands a chance of being defaced by a couple of drunken bufoons. The nickname isn't what causes these things, ignorance is. This is why instead of bickering, the two sides should work together to find a common ground and to educate people.
