Never mind that, I found a better one. --Liface 18:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Good article. What are Benson's athletic teams' colors? Just wondering.

[edit] School's Colors, Team names, and inacurate information

To answer a question that was put on the talk page, the school's colors are Orange and Blue.

The school has two team names, Techmen (for the men) and Techsters (for the women).

Also, the school didn't have a lottery because of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), but some of the North Portland Schools, including their rival, Jefferson, were complaining because Benson was taking "Their best students from the area"

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bensonlogo.gif

Image:Bensonlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
