MARAUDER MEN’S BASKETBALL 2011-12 WHAT IS A MARAUDER? -- And other Frequently Asked Questions WHAT IS A MARAUDER? A marauder is one who marauds (I know, the Language Arts folks are rightly peeved by now, read on). The term has been attached to several peoples over the years, but especially the Marauding Hordes and Bedouin Marauders. Both groups attacked from the north and looted and pillaged (a good definition of maraud) whatever civilization they might run into. Since the Marauding Hordes came from the northern Asian areas and the Bedouin Marauders were the dwellers of the northern African deserts, AVC has decided to honor those of the desert nature, while Compton College (Tartars) decided to identify themselves with those of the Asian group. WHY IS IT ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE’S MASCOT? The Marauder was selected as the mascot for Antelope Valley College some time during the 1938-39 academic year. However, the exact origins of the mascot and its development over the years have apparently been lost beneath the dust of the years. “I’ll be damned if I can understand now or remember how we came up with the name,” says Walt Primmer, a former athlete from AVC’s class of 1940. Other college graduates from that time were equally at a loss as to the origins of the name. The earliest written mention of Marauders that can be located by researchers is from the 1939 Antelope Valley High School Yucca yearbook. The yearbook, which included a special section for what was then known as Antelope Valley Junior College, made reference to the “Maroon Marauders.” Previously, college students who shared facilities with the high school were simply referred to as “JCs” in the Yucca yearbooks. One thing for certain is that the Marauder image certainly fit in well with their namesakes - the marauding desert dwellers of Africa and Asia from earlier times. Some of the students from the early days of Antelope Valley College must have felt like marauders as they left their homes in distant reaches of the region to live in dorms at the college. At the time the name “Maroon Marauders” surfaced, so did a “Maroon Marauders” emblem that appeared on some sweaters ordered by the mother of student Jack Reynolds, according to Primmer. The emblem consisted of a large circle with a scimitar - a curved saber used mostly by Turks and Arabs - running through the center of the circle. The college’s initials of “A.V.J.C.” appeared on the scimitar. The Marauder name quite possibly served as motivation for a play written and produced by the college students in 1940. The play, “A Knight in Baghdad,” also known as “Harem Scarem” was described as an original musical comedy. Photos from the play show one performer in Middle Eastern dress and carrying a scimitar. Another performer was dressed in armor, thus the play actually had a “knight, to fit in with the title. WHAT ARE THE SCHOOL’S COLORS? HOW DID AVC COME BY THEM? Maroon and Silver. As discussed above, the Marauders were once known as “Maroon Marauders,” though through the years, “maroon” was dropped from “marauders.” Maroon remains one of the school’s colors, along with silver. Over the years gold has been added to the color scheme, but that has been phased out over the last 10 years. White and black are now used to help accent the maroon and silver. OK, IF THE MARAUDER AT AVC IS FROM THE DESERT, WHY DOES THE MARAUDER MASCOT THAT DANCES WITH THE CHEERLEADERS LOOK LIKE JACK SPARROW? A mascot was eventually developed. What is believed to be the original official Marauder was depicted as a chubby-cheeked, comic character with a handlebar moustache and goatee. The character was dressed in baggy pants and pointed-toe shoes, like one would envision a genie. The Marauder also had a turban with a scimitar running through it, in the same way an old cowboy would wear a hat with an arrow running through it. Attempts had been made to upgrade and toughen the Marauder mascot image for more than 10 years before 1990. At least one student contest was held to develop a new mascot and various artists have left their mark in coming up with new Marauders. However, some have lost sight of the original desert dweller in favor of a swashbuckling high seas marauding pirate. Because of that, AVC’s mascot was represented first as a duck, then a parrot and now -- the popular Jack Sparrow. WHAT IS THIS “NEW” LOGO? It’s not a logo at all. Athletic departments require different looks for different purposes. The circular trademarked logo developed 15 years ago (top left on this page) reamins the Marauder logo. But like most athletic departments, AVC has another “identifier” -- in this case AVC being crossed by a simitar -- which is used to represent the department when the logo does not make graphic sense. ARE THE WOMEN’S TEAMS CALLED “LADY MARAUDERS?” No. Marauder Athletics chooses to differentiate only by sport, not by sex. Therefore, Marauder Athletics uses the nomenclature “Marauder” before any of their sports (i.e. Marauder Football, Marauder Soccer, Marauder Women’s Basketball). If Marauder Athletics hosts the same sport for both sexes, the correct use is to use the genderal description before the sport (i.e. Marauder Men’s Track, Marauder Women’s Track). If only one sex is offered participation in a sport, the genderal description is dropped (i.e. Marauder Volleyball, Marauder Soccer, Marauder Baseball). AVC’s logo image is unique in that it is a silhouette, thus it can be identified with either men or women athletic teams. The old Marauder was strictly seen as a male figure, which was acceptable 40 years ago when there were no women athletic teams at the college. 55
