Illiniwek to dance again

After a banishment of nearly two years, Chief Illiniwek once again is putting on the buckskins, beads and turkey feathers.

Since the University of Illinois Board of Trustees banned the 80-year-old mascot from sporting events in February 2007, citing cultural insensitivity, defenders of Chief Illiniwek have been working toward a resurrection.

Last spring, a group of former chiefs held tryouts to select a new performer. One dozen students tried out—undergoing nearly eight weeks of training—before the honor was bestowed on then-junior Logan Ponce.

But what good was that without the chief's traditional regalia? The university had locked the original in its archives. So a group called Students for Chief Illiniwek paid to have a replica costume made.
