"Bruce Lee was more than a martial artist," said Ioane, 20. "He also had an amazing philosophy of life. He's a cultural icon recognized all over the world — except on this campus," where Lee studied for three years in the early 1960s.

Ioane and 20 other University of Washington students have collected more than 1,000 signatures — including from nearly all members of the men's and women's basketball teams — as part of the effort to build a monument to Lee.
