'Illini' named for state, not natives
12:45 AM 9/2/2005 — The truth is, it's all our fault.
In 1874, The Student, Illinois Industrial University's student-run newspaper, changed its name. The new tag chosen was "The Illini."
"The Illini" was a monthly publication, which later became the Daily Illini. Illinois Industrial University is now the University of Illinois.

Professor Maria Mastronardi, who teaches in the speech communication and communications departments at the University, said she is looking forward to Labor Day weekend, yet she has no specific plans in mind.
