University of Maryland, Change the school fight song to "679" by Fetty Wap

The Issue

The University of Maryland fight song was written in 1928, a time where segregation was still in effect and the school didn't give out an absurd amount of parking tickets to students. However both as a state and a school Maryland has come a long way since the 1920's, and this song constantly played is out of date. It is time we honor the change and progress we have made over the past 90+ years with an update to a Maryland tradition. The song '679' by the innovative and illustrious Fetty Wap is a song that represents everything great that Maryland stands for, and by updating our out of date fight song to a more appropriate and fitting tune, we can show the world that we as a school are no longer "out of date". With your signature, you push UMD closer to greatness.
