I    I   £
not
wear lis cohhes for long. On Sept.
a, 1957, the dog fell victim to a
passenger train carrying
- students home from a football
game against (he University of
Pacific at Stockton.
One year later, a group of
United State* Marines In San
Francisco donated Moose II after
hearing of (he mascotless
situation caused by Moose I'i
de»lh. The dog. called "Winnie"
for its name "Winston Chur¬
chill." served as a mascot for
three year* before dying of a
heart ailment.
Moose II also had its own
wooden c*rt which wa* hooked
onlo a car, carrying the mascot
as it peered from the cart's
fenced confines. The cart,
believed to be destroyed, was last
used in I960, said Mrs. Safstrom.
Winnie's successor. Moose
III, only served aboui six months
in 1964 because of its fright of (he
firecracker filled cannons,  she
"I (old (he students 'Don't
shoot off the cannon or you'll lose
that mascot'," she said. "Bu(
they shot off the cannon. I tried (o
break him of going down on all
fours by taking him (o football
practices. I couldn't."
• The mascot, whose real
name was "Van's King's Ran¬
som," left the gridiron for the
quieter surroundings of (he
Safstrom home where i( lived for
13 year* before dying of a heart
aliment last soring.
Moose ill's loaned
predecessor, "Diamond," wa*
part of a 1961 dognapping hoax.
Th* dog wa* allegedly stolen
from campus ground*, according
to reports by the Collegian and
local media coverage.
Mrs. Safstrom said she knew
nothing of the hoax and wa*
actually caring for the dog at that
The Rally Committee
initiated (he Incident with the
intent of stimulating school spirit
in the football games. But the
plan fizzled and the committee
came under criticism from
school official* and itudent
government officer*.
Gerald Lee Tahajian, a
Fresno attorney who was student
body president during (he Hoax,
broke Ihe news of Ihe incident to
students and said recently lhat
students now would probably
react similarly if the dognapping
"I don't think that many
students back (hen got very
excited," he s*ld. "There wa*
relative apathy. Tha( was (he
reason for it occurring In Ihe first
place. There was no great uproar
one way or the other."
Nor has there been much
commotion about hiving
Mooslfour appear ai football or
basketball game*.
After Moose III left the
scene, Mrs. Safstrom said (he
the noted (hat Interest In reviving
(be mascot'* role of attending
games dwindled considerably.
"I don't feel th*( there's as
much enthusiasim among
students a* (here used to be," ihe
slid. "1 think part of (he blame
for (hi* wa* in moving from the
old lo (he new campus. You lost
the friendline** that you had
before."
Earl Whitfield. a**l*tant
general manage***** the College
Union and 1969-60 student body
president, agreed with Mr*.
Safstrom that the changing times
have affected students' attitude*
toward    things    like    school
"Things have changed an

said "I think that traditions have
