              the brown and white lehigh university's student newspaper founded in 1894 vol 103 no 16 tuesday november 7 1995 all the lehigh news first mountain hawk adopted as mascot by grete haentjens editor in chief for the first time in its 130-year history lehigh has adopted a sports mascot images of the lehigh mountain hawk were revealed to the publ for the first time today ron ticho assistant vice presi dent for university re lations served as li aison to the student senate for the mas cot project he said the idea was student generated but because students alone could not get the project off the ground senate asked the depart ment of athletics to come up with ideas athletics then hired a professional firm to design a mascot the sean michael edwards firm of new york city was hired last may to design a mascot the firm has designed or revised mascots for professional and collegiate teams including the villanova wildcats the florida gators and the new england patriots the firm said a mascot should include five basic concepts it should be an animal to prevent racial or gender bias it should not be an object like the lehigh l-train it should be native to the area it shou id be unique and it should appeal to students and merchandisers the company first presented the mountain hawk in the beginning of the semester and no alternative mascots were seriously considered ticho said ticho would not say how much the project cost but he said the firm charges 25,000 to 100,000 per project some board of trust ees members along with alumni they solicited paid for the project ticho emphasized that none of the money for the design came from lehigh's budget the athletics department will pay for any application of the mountain hawk concept about 200 members of the lehigh commu nily including trustees student senators some mem bers of the student athlete council the interlvater nity council the fanhellenic council and others signed a confidentiality agreement and lcx>ked at the mascot before it was released the design firm suggested keeping the mascot confidential and sent out surveys to a limited number of people affiliated with lehigh to get ideas for what a lehigh mascot would entail certain character sties such as pride aggressiveness ind enthusiasm stcx>d out no one is sure how students will respond to the mascot but ticho said students opinionscount most alumni might not like it or the community might not like it but the students are there every day and they will become alumni down the road ticho said it wasn't ac cepted by navy when they introduced the goat it wasn't accepted by cornell when they in troduced the bear so who knows if this will fly the mascot incorporates the lehigh colors of brown and white with gold accents but green will now also be a part of the color scheme if sports teams want to include it is it our hope that we be called the mountain hawks it's not our call ticho said he said the illuslralim
