We alumni of UCSC are at least proud to be the "Fighting Banana Slugs".

Similarly humorous, one of the local JC's (Scottsdale Community College) mascot is the
artichoke .
"Our mascot was born in 1972 as a result of a philosophical difference between students and school administrators. Student government ran an election to name a mascot, and in protest, surprised and shocked the administration by declaring the "artichoke" as the mascot."
