There's one group of people who want to be called the Hurons and one group that wants to be called the Eagles. OK, and the papers think this is newsworthy. Please, those of you who disagree, get a life. I'm in my third year at Eastern and I happen to like this school very much. I like this school based on the different instructors I've had and on the different classes and programs offered at EMU, not based on the University's mascot name.
