4 B2 ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL Friday, September 11, 1992 Indian Group Challenges Trademark Feds Asked To Act Against Football Team By Tom Sharpe Tooar Could corned beef tacos be on the menu at tonight's IrishNew Mexican Dinner in rememberance of Brother Mathias? There's only one way to find out and that's by showing up at the Knights of Columbus, 609 14th St. SW, tonight at 6:30 for a Mass followed by the dinner. Tickets are $7.50 for adults and $3 for children. There will also be a raffle and proceeds will go toward funding an Albuquerque home for retired priests.

Romero said while professional sports teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and the Atlanta Braves continue to use their American Indian logos, college teams have changed theirs. The Stanford Indians became the Cardinals and the Dart-mouth Indians, the Big Green, said Romero, a graduate of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. He said he didn't object to the Santa Fe Indian School's "Runnin' Braves" name. But when non-Indian schools usurp Indian logos for team mascots, "it dehumanizes us and sounds like they're talking about a cougar or a bear," Romero said. Archambault said many Washington Redskins team members have supported changing the name, but their fans are reluctant.

"The American public is in a frenzy about their football teams," she said. "But the world's not going to fall apart if we change the name." race is a mascot." Romero and Archambault, who both live in Santa Fe, appeared at a news conference at the Eldorado Hotel on Thursday while other Indian leaders announced the action in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. A spokeswoman for the Washington Redskins office in Ashburn, declined comment on the controversy. Romero said team owner Jack Kent Cooke indicated he was "not open to negotiation" on the name when the Washington City Council recently voted to recommend a change. Cooke is also chairman of Raljon Publishing which owns several New Mexico newspapers, including the Socorro Defensor Chieftain, the Valencia County News-Bulletin, the Ruidoso News and the Deming Headlight.

He also owns newspapers in Colorado, Arizona and California, according to a spokeswoman for the Ruidoso News. JOURNAL NORTHERN BUREAU SANTA FE Using American Indian symbols for sports teams demeans Indians and promotes racist ignorance, members of an organization challenging the Washington Redskins' trademark said Thursday in Santa Fe. "This is an anachronism," CochitI Pueblo artist Mateo Romero said of the 1992 Super Bowl champions' "Indian Head Nickel" logo. "I'm not sure how accurate it ever was, but it's sure not us today." Jodi Archambault of the Morning Star Foundation, an American Indian advocacy group sponsoring the action with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, said other sports and product symbols degrade tribal people.

The Cleveland Indians' cartoonish logo "looks like the Sambo of Indian people," said Archambault who is of Lakota Sioux heritage.

Archambault Romero Raljon also sought to buy the Rio Grande Sun in Espanola and the Taos News a few years ago, said Rob Pigott of the New Mexico Press Association. Romero said if the Patent and Trademark Office cancels Cooke's imprimatur for the use of the "Redskins" name, others could use it without paying Cooke a fee and he might be forced to use another name less offensive to American Indians. Stephen R.

Deputy District Attorney Todd Heisey charged David Sedillo, El Ensueno NE, with one count each of defacing by graffiti for more than $1,000 worth of damage and conspiracy to commit that crime. Sedillo remains in the Juvenile Detention Center, and a hearing is scheduled for today on whether he should remain there. Heisey said his office will ask that Sedillo be held. An Albuquerque officer in July tracked down Sedillo as a graffiti suspect through a license plate but couldn't arrest him because officers can't make arrests on most petty crimes without witnessing them.

But the officer then got estimates that placed the cost of cleaning the building at more than $1,000. The amount made it a felony, and the officer made the arrest. 990 win" lgal. $399 4 plants per pack Reg. 1.29 Full Flats (72 plants) 10 Drvo $169 5 For 17 1 iruia each In Bud Bloom 10 For s14w FLAMT FALL BERKMAX CRAPE MYRTLE PIIOTENIA FRAZERI x- mount Aapf $199 $14.99 $Q99 Sgal Reg 19.99 Driver Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison The driver of the car from which 14-year-old Dominic Velasquez was shot Jan.

Howard, 50, a Van Buren Middle School teacher, was fatally injured Jan.

9, 1990, when her car was hit at Lomas and Fifth NW by a pickup truck driven by Paul Donisthorpe. Donisthorpe, a former State Fair deputy manager, later pleaded no contest to vehicular homicide committed while intoxicated. He was sentenced to two years in prison and a year on probation. Meanwhile, Howard's sons, Gregory and Glen Krause, sued Donisthorpe for their mother's death. They also named as a defendant Paul Villella, doing business as Ten-Central Exchange, a Downtown restaurant.

The sons settled with Donisthorpe's insurance company late last year. Their attorney, William Gilstrap, confirmed a settlement with Villella. He declined to give the amount without his clients' permission.
