Valpo is most famous, sports-wise, for Bryce Drew’s buzzer-beater to upset Ole Miss in the 1998 NCAA Tournament, and victory over Florida State in the second round to reach the Sweet 16. Since then, Valpo went to the 2016 NIT title game, and have six one-and-done trips to the Big Dance on their ledger.
AdvertisementThe teams at Valparaiso have been known as the Crusaders, but that nickname is being retired. As interim university president Colette Irwin-Knott explained in the Valpo Torch, “The negative connotation associated with the Crusader is not reflective of Valor’s mission and values, which promote a welcoming and inclusive community.”
AdvertisementCNN noted that the Crusader is an image used by hate groups, as well as the name of the Ku Klux Klan’s newspaper. But on campus, it’s about more than that, reflected by the Torch’s reporting.
AdvertisementThe Torch quoted Valpo senior Jenna Rifai about how, “As a Muslim, I was embarrassed to come to Valpo because the school’s mascot was a Crusader, even though my mom and older siblings went here before me. … I know it seems like a little small image but that image holds power. Symbols hold power.”
On the other side of the issue was a Valpo athlete who asked for anonymity to say, “It goes against what I feel like is one of Valpo’s strongest characteristics: tradition.”
AdvertisementThe “tradition” of Valparaiso being the Crusaders goes all the way back to… 1942. That’s when Valpo decided to ditch its previous mascot, the Uhlan, because of that word’s link to German cavalry units . Never mind that by World War II, it was Nazi Germany overrunning the Polish Uhlans, but Valpo wanted nothing to do with that name. From 1934-40, even the school yearbook had been called “The Uhlan,” the 1939 edition of which referred to Valpo as Uhlanville.
One of those Uhlan yearbooks may hold the key to Valpo’s future nickname.

After the decision to make Valpo’s new nickname “the Beacons,” the search was underway to identify a mascot as well. The president’s office, in conjunction with alumni engagement, quickly realized that the decision was best left to those that the mascot would represent the most: Valpo students.

Reviews for "The Antagonistic Forces Confronting A Specified Magical Index Othinus"
1. John - 2/5 - I found "A Certain Magical Index: Othinus" to be quite disappointing compared to the previous arcs in the series. The character development felt lacking and the plot felt confusing. The introduction of Othinus as the main antagonist didn't quite gel with the established storyline and left me feeling disconnected from the overall narrative. Additionally, the pacing felt off, with long stretches of exposition that didn't add much to the story. Overall, I expected more from this installment and it unfortunately fell short of my expectations.
2. Sarah - 3/5 - While "A Certain Magical Index: Othinus" had its moments, I couldn't fully get behind the new direction the story took. The shift from focusing on the conflicts within Academy City to this new fantastical realm felt forced and disconnected from the series' core themes. Othinus as a character didn't captivate me as much as previous villains, and I found myself yearning for the familiar dynamics between the main characters. While there were some interesting developments and action sequences, the overall execution left a lot to be desired and I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series after this installment.
3. Mark - 2.5/5 - I had high hopes for "A Certain Magical Index: Othinus" as a fan of the series, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The plot felt convoluted and lacked a clear direction, making it difficult for me to stay engaged throughout. The introduction of Othinus as the main antagonist felt forced and contradicted the established lore of the series. Additionally, the characterization felt shallow and uninteresting, with little growth or development for the main characters. While there were some entertaining moments, overall, this installment felt like a letdown and didn't add much to the overarching story.
