MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Manhattan High School is keeping its Indians mascot for now.
 
The Manhattan-Ogden school board unanimously voted Wednesday to create a committee to study several issues as part of a compromise in which the mascot was retained.
 
The Manhattan Mercury reports that issues the committee will study include determining the cost of retiring the Indian mascot and exploring the creation of a new mascot. The committee also would look for ways to educate the community about Native Americans and recognize a former coach whom the mascot is meant to honor. The coach, named Frank Prentup, was a descendant of the Tuscarora tribe
 
Members of the committee will include those seeking to change the mascot and keep it the same, as well as students, teachers and administrators.
