PSU announces new mascot to compliment logo, nickname Pembroke State University Chan cellor Dr. Joseph B. Oxendine today has announced the official new mas cot which will perform at Pembroke State athletic events and other cam pus activities. The first official mascot was voted unanimous by the mascot committee and will compliment the new Uni versity athletic logo and team nick name, the "Braves", which was never considered for change. Following is the official statement as issued by Joseph B. Oxendine, Chancellor ol Pembroke State University who is making the official announcement: PSLTs New Mascot: THE HAWK It is with much joy and excite ment that we announce Pembroke State University's new mascot: THE HAWK, in particular the RED TAILED HAWK. In keeping with the long-established tradition of many university athletic programs, we wish to introduce a mascot from the non-human world which repre sents the apirit of our games and the skill of our athletes. The Hawk will symbolize the Pembroke State Uni versity Braves just as the Ram sym bolizes the Carolina Tarheels, the Army Mule the West Point Cadets, the Goat the Navy Midshipmen, and the Blue Tick Coon Hound the Ten nessee Volunteers. We are proud to retain "Braves" as the name of our athletic teams; this name has a long history at PSU and, given our heri tage, is an appropriate title. We feel that the Hawk is an espe cially fitting companion for the Pem broke State University Braves. We retired the cartoon character of the wild Indian as our mascot and ath letic logo because we wish to honor our athletic teams and our diverse student body, not to discomfort and ridicule them. As Dr. Cornel Pewewardy pointed out to the Na tional Indian Education Association in 1991, universities by their very nature, are?or should be-commit ted to dismantling stereotypes, not to perpetuating them. Our old wild Indian Logo presented an inaccurate and insensitive image of the resi dents of our community and of more than a third of our University family. The Indian Brave mascot was equally offensive. In his classic series of novels known as the "Leatherstocking Tales", the 19th century American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper, explored die respect and admiration of American Indians fx the natural world, especially the forests and the creatures inhabiting them. Native American writers like Lame Deer and Black Elk have also emphasized the close relationship between the animal and human worlds. Ameri can Indians have traditionally felt a sense of brotherhood with all ani mals, in particular die birds of the air who, they believed, taught them valu able lessons about the natural world and how to survive in it. In Nadve American folklore, birds ha ve a place of much importance since they are thought to carry man's prayers to the next world. The RED-TAILED HAWK is one of the birds believed to have signifi cant powers. Since the Red-tailed Hawk is indigenous to the region, it is a special bird and a special symbol for the local inhabitants. The Red Tailed Hawk, the largest of the local hawks, can be observed sailing over the trees, coming to pause again and again on the same lofty perch. His bearing dignified, his eyes sharp and alert, and his movement, when it comes, swift and sure. We think the Hawk is a fitting companion to the Brave in our new athletic logo be cause both the Hawk and the Brave embody those characteristics we ad mire in our athletic teams: courage, beauty, grace, strength and extraor dinary visual acuity. Our new athletic logo presents the head of an Indian Brave whose obvious dignity, poise, and proud bearing provide a fitting metaphor for our athletes. The new Brave, while clearly recognizable as an In dian, has none of the grotesqueness and exaggeration of the former logo character. To support the new Brave, we wanted a mascot which would give the logo a special PSU identification and provide an appro priate stimulus for fans and players at athletic events. The Hawk as reflected in the new logo is a suitable companion to the Brave and emblemizes his patience and perseverance as well as his deci siveness and quickness. The Hawk, represented at athletic events by a student in costume, will become a "living", moving image of the PSU spirit of competition, one that we believe can spur our teams to vic tory. We are excited about the Hawk as our mascot and the new logo portray ing the partnership of the Brave and the Hawk. We feel good about pro jecting such an image of team work and the winning spirit of Pembroke State University, an image that does not denigrate but rather celebrates pride in our heritage as well as the job of athletic competition. The Coach's Corner By Ken Johnson " Charity Should begin at Home" Eloo and St. Andrews have women's soccer as does Methodist College so why not Pembroke State? This should have been done long before PSU went "Dixie doddling" in the Peach Belt, too for to travel conference PSUs goals should be to equal Western Carolina, Applacian State and East Carolina having foot ball, living up to the goals of equal sports for women as Title X calls for. Not spending money before these other demands are met. Dropping tennis with those magnificant courts standing idle is truly a lack of ethics. Especially the "selective ethic" which calls for a regard for your own stu dents, first. They the" Adminstratkn" are us ing the "situational ethic" which calls for their own interest rather than the student body's interest. You don't raise standards by keeping football and tennis and women'soccer out of the program. A few years ago they dropped PE completely out of the program and then restored it for just one semester with no grading system just pass or foil. IfPE is important it deserves a grading system. Dr. Joe "You are letting us down. I hate to state this publicly but Sutler is not your AD.
