Organizers: Fighting Sioux nickname is back   BISMARCK, N.D.
(AP) -- Supporters of the University of North Dakota's Fighting
Sioux nickname say they have enough petition signatures to force
the university to start using the name again.  Secretary of
State Al Jaeger (JAY'-gur) still has to count the names before
the nickname is restored.  Nickname backers turned in petitions
to Jaeger's office Tuesday night. They say they have 17,213
signatures, well above the 13,542 they needed to put the issue
on North Dakota's ballot in June.  Jaeger will count the names
Wednesday. If there are more signatures than the minimum needed,
the Fighting Sioux nickname will be restored.  Jaeger will do a
more thorough checking of the names over the next month and
determine if the issue goes on the ballot.
