Tuesday, August 29, 2006 SOSU Chooses New Fight Song
DURANT, Okla. (AP) Southeastern Oklahoma State University has a new fight song.
A classical music composer from Dallas is the winner of a one-thousand dollar prize for writing the music and lyrics of the new song.
The new fight song was needed to go with the university's new logo and new nickname _ the Savage Storm.
It was written by Jeff Lankov and was chosen by university President Glen Johnson after Johnson listened to the university band play the three finalists.
Southeastern changed its nickname earlier this year from the Savages to the Savage Storm because of a new N-C-A-A rule against mascots and nicknames considered hostile to American Indians and other ethnic groups.
