Q: Rumors have circulated for years that the mascot for Staten Island Community College (now the College of Staten Island) was drawn by Walt Disney himself. It was of a dolphin holding a book and a T-square while wearing a hat with the initials SICC on it. The Disney Company is said to have given the college permission to use the design on the condition that there be no association with the Disney name. Any truth to this rumor?

A: I find nothing in the Disney files to confirm the rumor you have heard.
