Sioux nickname supporters travel state to spread message
FARGO — Traffic was slow in the Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot Thursday morning, slow to nothing, actually, in terms of people stopping by to visit or sign a petition. But that didn’t mean Eunice Davidson, an advocate for UND to keep its Fighting Sioux nickname, wasn’t busy. The vote is just days away.

LETTER: A new UND logo is already here
The current “ND” is not unique, but the widespread logo with UND, containing the flame inside the D, has to be the only one of its kind.
Need we look any further for a logo? We already have it under our noses.

UND’s challenge will be to retire the nickname and logo honorably and gracefully, while the legal and political storms continue. Only that will guarantee UND’s standing among American universities on and off the field and on and off the ice.

It is past time for the NCAA to reflect on the message that Spirit Lake has been trying to communicate to them as to the tribe’s reasons for supporting and partnering with UND.

OUR OPINION: Lawmakers assumed responsibility for nickname
By passing a law forcing UND to keep the nickname, the Legislature and governor took responsibility for the issue. That means they now have a duty to minimize or eliminate any harm to UND. And that, in turn, means they should act to bring about a positive outcome rather than passively observing what happens next.
