<div>And in response to the obvious pressure the University was
placing on the 'last dance' event - anybody is certainly free to
discuss or reminisce about the Chief as they wish, but I see no
reason to believe that the University's 'trademark' claim is
illegitimate. I can talk about Mickey Mouse all I like, but it's
hardly a violation of free speech that I can't paint him on the
side of my shop.</div>

<div>It's debatable whether this is an issue of free speech at
this point, but it's hardly a matter of debate whether we can be
happy that this celebration of a racist caricature will
apparently not proceed as planned, I think.<br>
