Pioneer Pete, the mascot for Cal State Univ. East Bay, is likely to be disarmed. Gun fearing wussies are afraid of the animated shotgun he carries in the school's logo. (The real mascot carries no gun.)

...though the live mascot carries no weapons, fake or real, Debby De Angelis, director of athletics, doesn't like the shotgun in the logo.

"I've been here for four years, and for four years, I've been saying, 'We've got to at least get the gun out of Pioneer Pete's hands,'" De Angelis said.

So she took a job there and immediately began trashing the mascot. Maybe Gladys Kravitz would make a better mascot.

(Speaking of which, who says Hollywood is out of ideas?)
