High school drops Indians as name
Associated Press
MARCOLA — Mohawk
High School teams have been
known as the Indians since the
Oregon school was established
in the late 1920s.
That’s about to change.
A community survey and
several town hall-style meet-
ings prompted the district to
decide to adopt a new nick-

A major revision allows
school districts to keep their
mascots if they obtain writ-
ten approval from one of Ore-
gon’s nine federally recognized
Indian tribes.
Watkins said he contacted
the Confederated Tribes of the
Grande Ronde because of their
affi liation with the Kalapuya
Tribe, whose members settled
across the Willamette Valley
and surrounding areas, accord-
ing to the Oregon Historical
Society.
“The tribe was amazing to
work with,” Watkins said. “But
at my last meeting with them I
could see the hesitancy. They
want to support us, but they’re
getting a lot of grief over it.”
The school is named for the
Mohawk River, a tributary of
the McKenzie River.
Warrenton boosters raise money for sports and activities
forms, weights and other basic
equipment.
“It is time to rebuild, not
only as a school but as a com-
munity,” Danielle Lagana said
in a release from the group.

Lagana said the group is

EUGENE — The Uni-
versity of Oregon is consid-
ering raising in-state under-
graduate tuition by 10.6
percent in the fall to pay for
increased salaries, health
care and retirement costs
for school employees.
The
Register-Guard
reported that under a plan
backed by UO President
Michael Schill, tuition for
full-time, in-state under-
graduate students would
increase $945 for the 2017-
18 academic year. Man-
datory fees would also
increase $186. Out-of-state
tuition would also increase
by $945, or 3 percent.
Schill said in a letter
to students and staff that
the state’s fi scal problems
leave him “little choice”
but to accept the major tui-
tion increase. He said UO’s
operating expenses are ris-
ing steadily. In particular,
retirement benefi ts under
the state Public Employ-
ees Retirement System are
requiring large contribu-
tions from the university.
The UO Board of Trust-
ees must approve the tui-
tion hike.
