    The "Utah Man" Controversy

    I think the folks at ASUU need to talk to the ones at ASUCLA about the Bruin fight song, "Sons of Westwood:"

    We are Sons of Westwood,
    and we hail Blue and Gold.


    True to thee our hearts will be;
    our love will not grow old.


    FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!


    Bruins roam the hills of Westwood
    By the blue Pacific shore.


    And when we chance to see
    a man from U. S. C.,
    Ev'ry Bruin starts to ROAR!

    U (clap clap clap)
    C (clap clap clap)
    L (clap clap clap)
    A (clap clap clap)
    U-C-L-A Fight, Fight, Fight.
    This was written in 1913.

But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    Then there's this one:

    Fight On for ol' SC
    Our men Fight On to victory
    Our Alma Mater dear,
    looks up to you
    Fight On and win
    For ol' SC
    Fight On to victory
    Fight On!

    Here's a link to a survey that I understand the Alumni Association has put out:

    Apparently you can email the administration at fightsong@utah.edu to voice your opinion of whether Utah Man lyrics should be changed. The deadline is tomorrow.

    I emailed them and I got a personalized response from President Pershing.

    I just hope that ASUU kid has someone around to give him a high five today. He's a real American hero.

    debatable about whether this was the right call or not. It is not debatable that this was handled extremely poorly.
