In later years, a female student has also been named Mrs. Husky. Although the naming of a Mr. and Mrs. Husky is a tradition that still continues today, the role of mascot has been assigned to Paws. The elected students' roles are titular only. Other Husky Mascots and Icons In 1958, after the repeated death of the University's live mascots, the administration commissioned the casting of a statue to replace the live mascot. The statue was completed and unveiled at the University's Ell Hall in September 1962 and can still be found there today. While initially not well received, over the years a tradition has emerged where students would rub the nose of the statue for good luck. An identical statue of King Husky was later cast and placed at the entrance to the field house at Parsons Field.
