Is 'Teach Me How to Bucky' really a good recruitment tool for UW?

When ""Teach Me How to Bucky"" played on the big screen for the first time at the Minnesota Homecoming football game, I cheered and applauded in joy at this affirmation of just how wonderful my school is. It was clear that the thousands of other students felt similarly as we tightened our bonds in a sea of red school spirit. How could anyone say anything against it? The video had all the Madison icons of our age: Chancellor Biddy Martin, UW Band Director Mike Leckrone and even the Piccolo Man. Yes, it assured any doubters that Bucky is the coolest school mascot in the Big Ten. Yes, I find myself bobbing to the beat. But do I think this video justly represents our school in its entirety and should therefore be used by our administration as a way to draw in applicants? No.
