my ? 4 college!

Where do mascots get there names like the highlanders? Well as I was looking it up I thought why the highlanders have the mascot of a bear? Who knows like really? I had found a web sight called Factacular that has all of the names but why are they who they are? I mean look at that cute face wouldn't you want to Know why he is a chipmunk.
When I looked up UC Riverside Highlanders I found out that they took a vote to what they
wanted. The most popular was the cubs but then they realized that it was a little kiddish. So they
went with highlanders but they still like the cub idea.There mascot today is now a bear instead of
a cub.So all of the mascots have a purpose. Now the highlander bear make sense to me.

    Wow, I wonder how many UCR students actually know about that story. Great work on uncovering that detail.
