GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - Supporters of the University of North
Dakota's Fighting Sioux nickname plan a 10-block walk on Friday
night.
Organizer Danielle Sime isn't a student or an alumnus of UND but
says she is a lifelong fan of the Sioux sports teams.
The nickname and the school's Indian head logo are being retired
after a state Supreme Court ruling last week supported a Board of
Higher Education decision nearly a year ago.
Sime says the walk she plans will be a peaceful one. She says
that hundreds of people have clicked on a Facebook site saying they
will take part.
