MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2002 In an effort to persuade a high school to change its mascot, a group of Indian college students in Colorado have nicknamed their intramural basketball team "The Fighting Whities." The University of Northern Colorado team has members of various ethnic backgrounds but wants to show how Indian students feel, say organizers. The students hope Eaton High School takes notice and renames its "Reds" mascot and logo. Get the Story:
