Feather Controversy, What should the Illini Do?

Illini fans, if you have time to consider this important topic before or after the Wisconsin game, please advise the administration and Ron Guenther what to do. Some potential ideas:

1. Return the moccasins, blanket, peace pipe pouch, breastplate and war bonnet with 90 eagle feathers, as long as the Tribe returns the $3,500 as a donation to the University of Illinois, with interest going back to 1982.

2. Send Ron Guenther to meet with Mel Lone Hill immediately, suggesting a joint marketing deal for Chief merchandise, as long as the tribe provides a letter of support to the NCAA (save the Chief), similar to the Seminoles support provided to Florida State.

3. "The resolution...points out that Chief Illiniwek, intended to honor Illinois-based tribes, does not belong in Oglala clothing in the first place, because that tribe is not from Illinois." To satisfy the complaint, agree that Chief Illiniwek will only appear in games played in South Dakota or against South Dakota-based teams, or with players who transferred from South Dakota-based teams(remember, we have Steve Holdren, who transferred from South Dakota State).

4. Agree that Chief Illiniwek will no longer wear the moccasins, blanket, peace pipe pouch, breatplate and war bonnet with 90 eagle feathers. We pledge to only dress Chief Illiniwek in non-authentic clothing from here on.

5. Illini administration officials agree to immmediately suspend Chief's activities, to end these controversies once and for all.
