Students at the University of North Dakota want to make sure President Charles Kupchella doesn't announce his decision on whether or not to keep the school's "Fighting Sioux" nickname while they are on Christmas vacation.

Kupchella has said he would issue a decision soon. Students say they want to be there when he actually makes the decision.
