Northen tells of the journey of two Confederate soldiers returning home after the Civil War. They stop a Union officer and play "boyish pranks" on him (138). After the men leave the Union officer and make it home, Union soldiers find them in their houses and summon them to the camp, citing that the Union Colonel requested to see them after hearing about the incident. When they are brought to the camp, the two boys are executed, and their fathers find their bodies the next morning. The story raises feelings of sympathy for the "Lost Cause of the Confederacy," implying Northern aggression, and a longing for the antebellum way of life.

According to two freshmen, Ralph Munroe and Thomas Hurst, the demonstration was organized because the Senate's resolution was not reflective of the opinion of the whole student body. The students who were part of the referendum believed that the song Dixie was part of the American cultural heritage and any restrictions on the song should be overturned. Steve Knock, Richmond College Student Government Association (RCSGA) president, stated that the purpose behind the Dixie Resolution was to build a better image of the university. The petition by the students opposing the resolution met the requirement of five percent signatures from the student body.

Title A name given to the resource Article "Class cabinet forced to stop selling 'offensive' shirts" Description An account of the resource This article highlights an incident in which the Richmond College Junior Class Cabinet was made to stop selling t-shirts featuring the Confederate spider mascot. Director of Administrative Services Louie Love said that the spider dressed in Confederate uniform was "directly in conflict with what we're trying to address with Common Ground." Love had served on the Common Ground Action Committee, which had attempted to make all university publications more inclusive. The shirt was one of four sold in the Commons--it said "Spider Pride" on the front and had the Confederate spider on the back, which the articles describes as "General Spidey....a spider dressed in a Civil War-era general's jacket with 'U of R' on the jacket." The Collegiate Licensing Department had approved the shirt. Max Sirkin, president of the class cabinet, stated that the design was chosen because the cabinet wanted "something more fearsome than the 'beanie baby' that is the current logo." Junior senator Andrew Spiegel had found the design in a yearbook at the Virginia Baptist Historical Society. The cabinet planned to remove "U of R" and "Spider" from the shirt and continue to sell it.

Students said that they would not have attended Richmond if they heard the song before committing to Richmond. Richmond College Registrar said that the issue was not that important and would have no effect on recruiting students. The Registrar said that most black students would not find out about the song. Three black students said hearing the song during recruitment would make them change their mind about Richmond and agreed that black enrollment will decrease because of it. One student said the song should be abolished because it represents the Old South and a racist attitude. Another student said it brings back memories of the Old South, including slavery and bondage. The student said the song is played so often it represents a theme song for the university. A third student said he thought the school was more liberal than it actually is. All of the black students interviewed said hearing the song would make black recruits uncomfortable. There is also going to be a $400 tuition increase, but the Registrar did not believe that will have a significant effect on recruiting because there will be a proportionate increase in financial aid.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1971-10-29 Description An account of the resource This article recounts controversy surrounding the playing of the song "Dixie" during school events. Richmond College student government, led by Steve Nock, moved to "restrain" the use of the song "Dixie" during school events, and the issue of the appropriateness of Dixie consumed the first several pages of the Collegian. Some students argued the song was not offensive, saying some students "shouldn't be so small as to be offended by a bunch of words." Stanley Davis, a black student at the University, argued that Dixie was offensive and a symbol of the Old South and repression. Davis said it would be difficult for Richmond to encourage black students to attend while playing a song that created a certain kind of "attitude" and "image" about the University. Senior Terry Anderson felt the song kept Richmond from having a progressive image, and another student felt that if a song is offensive to even a small minority, it is "common courtesy" to cease playing it.

Mayo said that the new look was a "product of five years of work and study" aimed to please students who had previous been unsatisfied with the mascot. The new look spider wore a Confederate uniform, and the article notes that Mayo "wanted the students to understand that the grey coloring of the body of the spider is to offset the official colors of the school." Mayo went on to explain "that the spider so-dressed signifies that Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy during the War Between the States, and therefore the official blue would not be appropriate for the Spiders uniform." Mayo hoped the students would approve of the redesign. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived "Richmond Spider Gets 'New Look'".

It outlines the three competing origin stories for the "unusual mascot that Richmond students have defended since 1894." Originally, the Richmond team had been called the Colts, but a professional baseball team with the same name came to Richmond in the early 1890s. The three theories for the new name include 1) A comparison to the Cleveland Spiders at a 1893 baseball game, 2) a comparison to spiders for not allowing a fly ball" to get by at a game against William & Mary, and 3) a sports writer yelling "You guys look like a bunch of spiders trying to play ball, published in the 1897 yearbook. The history goes on to include information about a challenge to the mascot in the July 1941 Alumni Bulletin, where 1913 alumus W.F. "Tip" Saunders called for renaming the team either the "Confederates" or the "Rebels" to tie the university to Richmond City's history as the former capital of the Confederacy. The spider won by "an overwhelming majority." This history also states that "initially, the spider dressed in a Confederate general's uniform," though in reality the mascot did not wear this uniform until the late 1940s. After the Confederate spider, there was a "'live' spider mascot which resembled the comic book hero 'Spiderman." In the 1980s, te costume became more ferocious. As of the 1997 writing, there were three forms of the spider: One, a "sleek, insect-like spider" found on license plates, second a "grinning spider" us for University publications, and finally a "fuzzy, friendly spider that walks around encouraging school spirity." The history concludes by noting that University officials describe the spider as representing "success, good judgement, and a painstaking perseverance." The writer cites the Virginia Baptist Historical Society for most of the historical information.
