Wichita Eagle Meeting scheduled on Redskins mascot issue. North High committee public feedback on whether the school should change its mascot. The committee formed to solicit feedback on the North High school mascot issue will hold its first-and perhaps only public meeting on Monday. After its report, the committee will listen to public comments. Provide a written copy of comments.
Limit comments to less than three minutes.
Be willing to answer questions from committee members. The final decision will be made by North High Principal, Ralph Teran, probably in January, he said. The issue has come up several times in past years at North, most recently in April when a Native American parent wrote a letter to a Wichita school board member asking that North's mascot be changed. The matter was turned over to the North High site council, which at a June meeting established a process to address the issue. The committee scheduled to make a presentation to the site council at the council's January 1998 meeting.
