 The Skinhead Defense of Colonel Reb
For Lebanese Chancellor Robert Khayat, who had tried to bow to Negro demands, selecting a "Skinhead," which Skinheads called a "faux" Skinhead, anyhow, was simply the wrong choice, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons.
Khayat reserved the final choice to himself, stating that his "poll" was only "advisory," so he could select the mulatto "Skinhead," no matter what the students said, under his stacked-deck rules.
And, after Khayat had been defeated in attempts to change Colonel Reb as the mascot for the school, itself, he had settled on the notion of changing the "on-the-field" mascot, a student dressed up as a cartoon-like character, so that he could recruit Negro football-players and not "offend" the Negroes he had already conscripted.
