Nice name

A couple of responses to Andy Plonka’s article on Monday, February 15th, (“What’s in a Name?”). I agree that it is difficult to think of a really good new name for the Pow Wow. Anybody who doesn’t think it’s difficult should try entering a good name in the contest.

However, I disagree when he said that the name “Bow Wow” wouldn’t cut it. I think “Bow Wow” is a decent name. My reasons include the following: 1) “Bow Wow” could be associated with the NIU Huskies; 2) it would be a simple name change, just change the “P” in Pow to a “B” for Bow; and 3) I already entered the name “Bow Wow” in the contest before Andy came out with his article.
