The University's voting results are to be announced tonight, post them
when you have them. I'm betting the yea's will actually win but the
administration have rigged the count so the nays will prevail and they
can have their public relations success; *"Oh look how wonderful our

Just as I said, southern fried Chicago politics.

Miss students vote to replace Colonel Reb

JACKSON, Miss. -- University of Mississippi students voted Tuesday for
the school to pursue a new mascot to replace Colonel Reb, the goateed
Southern gent banished from the sidelines nearly seven years ago as
the school continued its move away from symbols of the Old South.

The university's Associated Student Body released the results of the
online election after voting ended at 5 p.m. CST.

"This wasn't about Colonel Reb at all. This is a new body of students.
This vote is about deciding that we need a new personification of what
a Rebel is," said John Kaiser, the Associated Student Body's deputy
attorney general of elections.

Students were asked to vote "yes" or "no" on whether they support "a
student-led effort to develop and propose a new 'on-field' mascot to
represent the Ole Miss Rebels." The school has more than 18,000
students, but only 3,366 votes were cast. The referendum passed with
nearly 75 percent of the vote.

It's been an issue fraught with significance for the students, alumni
and fans of the university located in the Deep South, where many
consider football the ruling sport.

Ole Miss will remain the Rebels, but Colonel Reb won't be back on the
field.

The university has taken other steps in recent years to throw off what
many perceive as lingering reminders of a Confederate past. Last year,
the band stopped playing the fight song, "From Dixie With Love," to
discourage fans from chanting, "the South will rise again." In 1997,
the school ended the waving of Confederate flags at sporting events.

But not everyone is happy about the decision to move on from Colonel
Reb.

"I'm extremely disappointed. I do think Colonel Reb is getting a bad
rap," said Hannah Loy, a senior political science major and a member
of the Colonel Reb Foundation.

Loy said her generation should be allowed to define issues of race and
school spirit.

"I think the older generations need to stop pressing their feelings
about race and what happened in the past on those of us who weren't
even alive then," Loy said.

The Colonel Reb Foundation, a group formed in 2003 when the mascot was
dropped, had bought advertisements in the student newspaper in hopes
of winning a "no" vote on the proposal.

Koriann Porter, liberal arts major who started the petition initiative
that led to the vote, said she's hoping students will be able to
choose a new mascot by the end of next fall's football season.

Collins Tuohy, a recent graduate interviewed a few days before the
vote, said her parents recognized the need for the change when they
attended the school.

"My dad was an athlete and my mom was a cheerleader. They saw
firsthand that the flag and Colonel Reb were having an effect on
people," she said of Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who are depicted in
the Oscar-nominated film, "The Blind Side."

Tuohy said when she was involved with the Student Alumni Council,
there was more of a move by older alums to push for a new mascot.

Associated Student Body President Artair Rogers said a student mascot
committee will be selected to develop and propose a new mascot. He
said he would present a plan to the Associated Student Body Senate and
Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones next week.

Gee, cuhulin - I'm not a fan of pit bulls, but demanding that a
somewhat unfairly stereotyped dog gets banned because of paranoia -
that's sort of like banning guns (which I also do not favor) because
one might go off and hit you. That's not a very libertarian POV - ???

I've seen other cities ban pit bulls but they usually grandfather
current owners. Might your celebration be premature?

The UK banned them several years ago, and collected up and destroyed all the
ones they could find. Personally, I think that's not right... overkill.
Yes, they have been known to maul children, sometimes to death, but those
cases are actually pretty rare compared to the total population of the dogs
(they were very popular in the UK.)

Something is fishy here. Only 3,366 of 18,000 eligible voted? That is
only a 18.7% turnout for a issue that has been hotly debated on
campus. Additionally, kids who spend half their lives on the
computer, could vote online without even leaving their dorm
room...hmm...very suspicious...I don't buy the lack of interest.

According to the Colonel Reb Foundation, in 2003 the University
Administration tried to change the mascot despite 94% of students
voting to keep Colonel Reb on the field. 94% to 18.7%? Liars liars
pants on fire. The fix was in.

Upon reflection the numbers are worse. 94% wanting to keep the Colonel
dropped to approximately 4.67% wanting to keep him (using the
Administration's tally claiming 75% of the 3366 voters favored banning
Colonel Reb).

Even Chicago politicians are blushing over this one. Good grief.

Murder, actually.

Agreed, and I think grandfathering in existing owners and requiring
spay/neuter for all dogs in fact, every breed) is a reasonable
alternative to mass execution of innocent animals and their loving
owners.
