Boone vs. Ruckus Online Opinion Survey

The email below was sent out to DU students yesterday from Alyssa Hampston & DU goaltender Peter Mannino, who represent the Student Senate Athlete Advisory Council. The email asks DU students to decide between Ruckus the Red Tailed Hawk and DU's former mascot the Denver Boone, designed by Walt Disney in 1969.

The email might be a test of the Athletic Department's resolve. In an October 2006 interview with The Clarion, AD Athletic Director Peg Bradley-Doppes stated, "The Athletic Department belongs to the students."

Dear DU Undergraduate,

Recently, we've felt a push to bring back our beloved mascot, Boone. To empower the voice of DU students, we are quantifying this sentiment by surveying the DU undergraduate population.

Please take this survey seriously as these results will be tabulated and presented to DU administration. Click here to enter the survey

Please respond by Friday, June 1.

Thanks for your participation --
