1993 Runnin' Joe from Arkansas State is abolished - but the name remains
Arkansas State to get new mascot
Runnin' Joe, the tomahawk-wielding Indian caricature with bared teeth and angry eyes, is being run off the campus of Arkansas State University. The school will keep its 61-year-old nickname, the Indians, university president John N. Mangieri said. But Runnin Joe, the school's official athletic symbol, will be replaced "with an appropriate new logo."
