The oUWTpost may be on the outs, in name at least. Results from the student center name-change poll that took place in February have been released, with the overwhelming majority of students in favor of changing the center's awkward moniker.
In a vote of 139 to 54, with 67 having no opinion, students preferred to change the name to The Mat.
But don't expect the change to happen overnight. Fall students will also have a chance to vote, and then the tallies will be forwarded to UWT Chancellor Patricia Spakes.
From there, Spakes and the ASUWT student government will make a decision based upon the two opinion polls.
The Ledger officially endorses changing the name to anything besides the oUWTpost, based upon our strong disdain for both puns and acronyms. This loathing only increases when the two are combined into what is essentially the most blasphemous word-play imaginable: the punanym.
