A change for “the Don”

De Anza College Associated Student Body Senate wishes to change the college mascot but participation and interest are low in replacing “the Don”. The May 4 deadline has been extended since after months of promotion, the Senate has failed to collect enough applications (only 18) to conduct what they say is a legitimate contest. Although the athletics department is open to the change, an athletic representative felt that the push should have been done earlier. For Athletics, the cost means resurfacing the gym, changing uniforms and other signage at the school as well as new merchandising at the school. Interesting that even though the contest has been published and announced at school events, there is very little interest. I suppose the Don has called in his favors and wishes to stay “the Godfather”.
