Only a matter of time, right? We'll see what this amounts to, may be a gentleman making a political statement and nothing more... doubt the Legislature feels it necessary to get involved.
JACKSON - Rep. Mark DuVall, D-Mantachie, said the University of Mississippi should not run away from its traditions.
That is why he has introduced legislation that would require Ole Miss to revert to its traditional mascot, Colonel Rebel, and to resume playing traditional songs.
DuVall's bill has been referred to the House Universities and Colleges Committee.
Chairman Kelvin Buck, D-Holly Springs, laughed when asked about DuVall's bill, saying he thought it was a good way for people to have their say on what to many is a major issue.
