[QUOTE="SycIllini, post: 1326834, member: 3545"] Article from the editor (a UofI alum) in today's Dekalb Daily Chronicle suggesting that a new name for sports teams needs to be found to replace "Fighting Illini". Mentions how he is disappointed with Whitman's signoff to his letter. Suggests "Prairie Fire" as an alternative. I think there is a group that will not be satisfied until every reference to Native Americans is removed from our university. Since the French borrowed part of a Native American word to name the state I am not sure how they can accomplish this but, am sure it won't stop them from trying. [/QUOTE]
