CHAMPAIGN — As the University of Illinois weighs how best to move beyond Chief Illiniwek, a pro-Chief group has organized another "Paint the Hall Chief!" event for Saturday's Illini game at State Farm Center.
Students for Chief Illiniwek, a registered student organization at the UI, posted a notice online calling on fans to "Honor the spirit of Chief Illiniwek" by wearing Chief gear to the 11 a.m. basketball game against Penn State.
The group calls itself a "progressive Registered Student Organization that supports the education of students and the surrounding community on the subject of Chief Illiniwek and related symbolism, and the right to their free expression of support.
