The Odessa American   2/7/1970


"At the time when Indians - and other minority groups - throughout the nation are seeking self-determination, it is imperative that we do not make recommendations that would block access to this goal."

"A good nickname must of course reflect the fighting qualities of the school's athletic teams. It should, in fact, be so ferocious sounding that its mere mention throws fear into the hearts of opponents.."

In Texas, in 1970, the common mascots were:
88 - Eagles
87 - Bulldogs
30 - Indians
26 - Bears
22 - Longhorns

So, I assume, this means that Indians were as ferocious as bears and eagles?
