There are 3 things that are guaranteed in this world. Death, taxes, and the UND nickname controversy.

Went to the doc the other day, worried about H1N1. Turns out it's just issue fatigue.

Do you got the fever? Cause I heard the only cure is more cowbell.

Dr. Kendall Baker,

President University of North Dakota

Dear Dr. Baker, I hope the New Year has brought you many successes at UND as I am certain your office has as many challenges. As Chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, I have learned of some very interesting and troubling developments at your fine university. The matter I speak of is the use of the "Fighting Sioux" nickname and mascot at UND. As you know we have taken three specific actions in the recent years regarding this matter as a government representing well over 10,000 members. The purpose of this letter is to respectfully remind your office and any other entities. Directly or indirectly associated with UND of our position. It is of course very simple and very clear, "Eliminate and stop the use of the 'Fighting Sioux' nickname and caricature today

Sincerely, Charles W. Murphy,

who is NOW the Chairman at Standing Rock Sioux Tribe

Forum might as well have kept their two cents for all the good that editorial will do.

Let them keep dragging it out. The longer it remains an issue, the longer the Summit Conference is sioux free. Plus I'm sure it has had a very negative effect on student enrollment. There is nothing positive to project in the way they keep fighting for something as trivial as a nickname.
