The University of American Samoa does not have an official mascot. The university, located in the unincorporated territory of American Samoa, is primarily a distance-learning institution and does not have a traditional campus or athletic teams. As a result, there is no need for a mascot to represent the university in the context of sports or other extracurricular activities. However, the university does have a logo that is used to represent the institution. The logo features the name of the university in bold, capitalized letters, with the words "University of American Samoa" stacked on top of each other. The logo also includes a stylized design element consisting of three waves, which is a nod to the university's location in the Pacific Ocean.
Can you give us a summary of the film?
The film was very successful on DVD in the USA and the UK where it opened at Number 21 in the national DVD charts and was the third highest selling independent film of that week. Jack is a loyal, brave, and narcissistic man who enjoys taking care of his appearance, having a daily skin care routine and always carrying a hand mirror.
The logo also includes a stylized design element consisting of three waves, which is a nod to the university's location in the Pacific Ocean. While the university may not have a mascot in the traditional sense, it still holds a unique position as the only accredited distance-learning institution in American Samoa. It offers a range of online programs and courses to students who are unable to attend a traditional on-campus university.

Keith Jarrett starts yet another indispensable live trio recording off just right with a heaping helping of Thelonious in “Bemsha Swing” before Jack DeJohnette and Gary Peacock show us just what swing is all about as they jump in and stir up every fish in this jazzy sea. Already we cannot help but be bedazzled by DeJohnette’s understated cymbal work and Peacock’s deep digs for the recap. “Old Folks,” another long stretch of tireless invention, turns up the tenderness. As DeJohnette wrings out all sorts of colors from his brushes, from Jarrett we get a lifetime’s worth of memorable highs. Likewise from Peacock, who opens his solo against a watery backing. One of the trio’s finest grooves on record. Also invigorating is a rendition of “Woody’n You,” which boasts another fine solo from the man at the bass. A true winner. Contrasts abound between the optimism of “Golden Earrings” and the depth and sweep of “Body And Soul.” Yet again, Jarrett’s rhythm section astounds here with the complexity of its craft. Next is the title track, a glorious ride into the bluesy “Things Ain’t What They Used To Be.”
Yet the undisputed highlight of this set would have to be “Blame It On My Youth.” This soulful excursion, with its upward sweeping phrases (akin to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “All I Ask of You”), speaks with wondrous affinity. With his improvisatory wings in full spread, Jarrett molds this tune into something with shape, form, and structure. Such narrative perfection is hard to come by, and worth the price of admission alone for this lucky crowd.
Standing as a fine introduction to the gifts of this once-in-a-generation band, The Cure blends thoughtfulness, chops, and melodic strengths to astonishing effect. With all of this and more, it earns an easy spot in the Keith Jarrett Trio’s top five.

I think the villain Halloween Jack is pretty scary looking with his scarecrow outfit and mask, his image on the DVD cover is what I think attracted people to the first film. Derek Nelson plays Jack in the sequel and he gives a very memorable villainous performance. The film certainly has moments of suspense and horror as Jack stalks and kills his victims, but I also think when you’re playing in the B-movie arena you shouldn’t take things too seriously, so we have a lot of fun with the concept as well. The humour goes hand in hand with the horror, such as one scene which involves Jack killing a selfie obsessed teenager by ramming a mobile phone down their throat!
In terms of athletics, American Samoa is known for producing talented football players, with many American Samoans going on to play at the college and professional levels. However, these athletes typically represent other universities and do not have a specific connection to the University of American Samoa. Overall, while the University of American Samoa may not have a mascot, it still plays an important role in providing access to higher education for the people of American Samoa..
Reviews for "Celebrating the University of American Samo Mascot: Annual Events and Traditions"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the University of American Samo's choice of mascot. The idea of having a seagull as their mascot just doesn't make any sense to me. American Samoa is known for its beautiful beaches and tropical scenery, and I think they could have chosen a mascot that represented that better. A seagull just seems like a random and uninteresting choice. I was hoping for something more unique and representative of the culture and spirit of American Samoa.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I just don't understand why the University of American Samoa decided to have a seagull as their mascot. It's such a generic and unoriginal choice. There are so many other possibilities that could have been explored to accurately represent the unique culture and heritage of American Samoa. It feels like a missed opportunity to really showcase what makes this university and its students special. I was really let down by this decision and it definitely impacted my overall opinion of the university.
3. Mike - 3 stars - While I wasn't particularly impressed with the choice of a seagull as the University of American Samoa's mascot, I can appreciate that they were trying to find a representation that links with the island's location. However, I do think they could have chosen something more exciting or culturally significant. A seagull just doesn't have that wow factor or sense of pride that one would expect from a university mascot. It's a missed opportunity to create a mascot that could be a source of school spirit and inspiration for the students.
