North Dakota State University shouldn't take an "official" stance on the "Fighting Sioux" nickname of rivals University of North Dakota, The Grand Forks Herald says in an editorial today.

The State Board of Higher Education already decided the issue when it prevented UND from a possible name change, the paper writes. So every other school, NDSU included, has to abide, according to the editorial.

"All opinions count. But some opinions count more than others."
