id say it’s like 85% like it and what people hear is the very loud minority say they hate the statue Must be too ferocious looking for the snowflakes it’s more based off of the other statue’s history. They feel it’s disrespectful to move it to such a far off spot on campus where no one will ever see it… I think I actually kinda agree with them on that because it really does feel like “we” (I say loosely) just forgot about that statue and it’s history. But I really do like the new one as well it’s looks so cool and represents the new age of WCU we are entering

The crazy thing is that statue has not always been in the front. When I was at WCU it was located in front of Dotson Cafe basically near where the catafount is now but a bit back towards Blue Ridge dorms green area/walkway. When I was there no one even paid attention to it. It was forgotten about.

Really? I thought people would like it being near the RAC so then they can take pictures with it

I think WCU could do some cool things with it if they wanted. Decorate it for holidays or use it on game days

It would be great if we could put a stuffed paladin in its mouth for when Furman arrives tomorrow. Maybe some fake blood too dripping out of its mouth. The gorier the better. This could be a tradition. When Chat comes next year, we can have a shoe or a mockingbird in its mouth with dripping fake blood. All in good fun or course.
