I'm extremely happy. We have a lot of groups on campus who wanted the name changed. Meron Wondwosen, president of the Black Student Alliance is also supporting Trice. The Black Student Alliance wants the stadium to be renamed for Trice because it should have been rightfully named for him in the first place. Wondwosen said much of the push to rename the stadium within the past 18 months came about because of the efforts of the September 29th Movement and BSA to rename Catt Hall.
Racism is racism.
If you're going to rename the stadium then you should also rename Catt Hall. Members of the September 29th Movement and BSA say Carrie Chapman Catt made racist remarks in her crusade for women's suffrage. Copyright 1997 by the Iowa State Daily Publications Board.
