After Tuesday’s nickname vote, determination to move foward with campaign to keep name
The majority for dropping the nickname exceeded 70 percent in Cass, Burleigh and Grand Forks counties and topped 60 percent in most of the rest.

OUR OPINION: North Dakotans ‘rally to UND’s side’
“Once it’s clear that the university is in danger, North Dakotans will rally to its side.”
