Trail Mix: Penn State Impeachment and Texas A&M Mascot Debate

March 07, 2008 05:17 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

* The Interfraternity Council at Penn State University has impeached its president, the Daily Collegian reports. No one can tell us why.

* The people at Texas A&M really care about their mascot. So much that there is a raging debate about what breed of dog Reveille VIII should be. Mutt or American collie? Diverse or "traditional?" And what's so wrong with a guy in a big dog suit?

Texas A&M

Texas A&M can't just get a guy in a dog suit because of one word and one word only, tradition. I myself graduated from of Texas A&M and I can still remeber my days there and how strong it was to the students and alumni that they kept as much A&M tradition in their lives.
