J. Denny Beaver "beheading" in Founders Wednesday night
Spending dozens of hours spreading Bluffton University spirit at athletic and other events is enough to make J. Denny Beaver lose his head.
The Bluffton mascot will do just that on Wednesday, Feb. 8, when he is "beheaded" at halftime of Bluffton's men's basketball game against Manchester College. Tipoff will be at 7:30 p.m. in Founders Hall.
J. Denny's true identity will be revealed by the beheading, the only time that college mascots traditionally remove their costume heads during the academic year. Now in his second year on campus, the mascot is named in honor of Dr. J. Denny Weaver, Professor Emeritus of religion and longtime faculty athletics representative at the university.
