Petition to KEEP the name.

[Let'sGoHawks!]

We should get one started. It could be passed around to UND faculty, students and alumni. Lets get this going. Can anyone out there start it, preferably someone with knowledge of how to do these things? PCM? Someone? The media reported a lot about the faculty members against the name, how about those for it?

I don't think that summer break is the time to get faculty member signatures.

Forget the faculty. What we need is a petition to keep the name signed by members of the Sioux tribes.

Yes, most faculty are gone for the summer...(not me). A petition in the fall would give us time to plan. A petition of tribal members would be the best obviously, seems like it would be harder to facilitate. Any positive support for the name in the national media would be great. If not a petition, make sure you wear your Sioux gear proud, get bumper stickers and window decals for your vehicle.

Hey, why stop at faculty? what about staff members too? after all they would be affected by any decision as well. I thought of that today.

Maybe this could work for some limited reason, but the ONLY opinions that count here are the NCAA's and the Tribes.

If we don't have the Tribes support the NCAA will make it painful to keep the name.
