Georgetown has not had a real mascot since 1983. Today's students are left without man's best friend to lead them in their quest for a unified, spirited school. We don't have Jack. We need a real, flesh and blood dog to conjure up the glorious memories of Stubby and to breath excitement and pride into the now vacant souls of the student body. One problem with having a dog as a mascot, as Boyle and S.A.A. foresee, is that someone inevitably must take ownership of it when it is off the playing fields and courts.
Someone has to feed it, walk it and clean up after it.
It would be a small price to pay for energy a real dog would infuse into school spirit.
