Something to Howl About

By Zeke Bonillas

Spring/Summer 2005

What originally began as a small idea on how to enhance campus pride became a large idea as students got together last year to form the Coyote Howlers. The Howlers began in the summer of 2004 as the Associated Students, Inc., of California State University, San Bernardino gathered for their annual retreat.

Starting with a modest budget, the Howlers distribute such items as “Coyote Pride” gear t-shirts, hats and polo shirts to the general student body. The ASI Movie Nights and athletic games are among the events at which the Howlers pass out the items.

The Coyote Howlers hosted its first event on Feb. 26. With the collaboration of the athletics department and the African Student Alliance, the Howlers threw a tailgate party for the last basketball home game against Cal Poly Pomona, which CSUSB won, 73-66. The new organization gave away cash prizes for the best set-up display demonstrating Coyote Pride, and offered music and food.
