Subject: Universities and colleges.; Student life; WestConn Illustrations; Western Connecticut State University--Mascots
Abstract: Letters to the editor, articles and cartoons regarding changing the college's mascot from the "Indians." "Warthogs" was a popular, perhaps tongue in cheek, alternative but "Colonials" was adopted as a fitting mascot over some student objections.
