Opened as a satellite campus in 1957, the southern regional division of
the University of Nevada became Nevada Southern University in 1965 and
finally evolved into UNLV four years later when the Board of Regents granted
it autonomy under the state's higher education system.
Mascots, Old and New
Today it's Hey Reb but some at UNLV still remember the
first official Rebel mascot -- Beauregard.
Dressed in a gray military field jacket and Confederate
cap, Beau is a fanged, winking, black and white cartoon wolf. He came
to be because the new school in Southern Nevada wanted to make a little
jab at the Wolf Pack mascot of Nevada, Reno.
"UNLV was rebelling against the status quo and the
two schools' mascots seemed to mimic the Civil War," said former
UNLV president Don Baepler, who is currently director of the Marjorie
Barrick Museum of Natural History on campus. "Reno had a northern
looking wolf so we wanted a Confederate wolf."
The logo lasted until the early 1970s when a group of
black athletes came to Baepler, who was academic vice president at the
time, and voiced its displeasure with having a mascot that had a connection
with the wrong side of the Civil War.
"They said it didn't feel right playing for a school
with such a mascot . . . and I agreed," said Baepler. "Southern
Nevada has no real ties to the Confederacy so the change wasn't a big
concern."
The student senate voted on a new mascot and the human
Rebel logo was born. Initially, a Colonial-like Rebel soldier was the
official logo and there was talk at one time of changing UNLV's nickname
to Minutemen.
