of Daniel Boone -- right down to the legendary coonskin cap --
racist, sexist or otherwise offensive?Officials at the University of Denver
seem to think so. Theyve announced they wont reinstate Denver Boone, who
was retired in 1998 as mascot for the UD Pioneers, despite calls
to bring him back.Boone originally had been replaced by a red-tailed hawk
named Ruckus but the bird never soared high with the student body
and was scrapped in 2007, leaving the school without a mascot. Fast
forward and the school decided to put together a committee last spring
to determine the new mascot, but Boone was not even considered.Boone was
a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the
UD community, but rather was an image that many women, persons of
color, international students and faculty members found difficult to relate
to as defining the pioneering spirit, Chancellor Robert Coombe said in a
March letter to the school community.University officials also claim that

Investigators believe Allen acted alone.According to a Union County Sheriff's
Office news release, Allen shot and killed former co-worker Rolando Gonzalez-Delgado,
28, around 9 a.m. Saturday, then went a short distance and fatally
shot his former employer, 80-year-old Marvin Pritchett.A few minutes later,
he pulled over where another former co-worker was driving a farm tractor,
exchanged words with him and then fired one shot from a shotgun,
authorities said. That victim, 66-year-old Lewis Mabrey Jr., was in good
condition as he was preparing to undergo surgery for a broken arm
and other injuries, according to officials.Not long after that, Allen went
to the company's headquarters in Lake Butler and shot 44-year-old David
Griffis in the stomach, the release said. Griffis was in critical condition.
Authorities said Allen then returned to his nearby home and killed himself.With
a population of about 2,000, Lake Butler is located about an hour's
drive southwest of Jacksonville.Investigators were working at the five s
