Contracts awarded P.E. Center to begin

VOLUME 89--ISSUE NO. 13 JANUARY 14, 1977

All candidates pass

Contracts have been awarded for the construct ion of a new physical education and health fitness center at Hope.

THE CENTER, to be located on the southeas t per imeter of the campus, is expected to be ready for the 1978-79 school year.

General contractor will be the Pioneer Construction company of Grand Rapids. The electrical contract was awarded to the Parkway Electr ic company of Holland and the mechanical contract to Heerema Plumbing and Heating of Grand Rapids.

PIONEER Construct ion was also the general contractor for the college's Peale Science Center which was completed in 1974.

Architect of tne Center is Alden B. Dow Associates of Midland, Mich.

Prepara t ion of the si te is expected to begin this month and, depending on the weather, con-struction should be underway by March.

THE PROJECTED overall cost for the center including site acquisition, equipment and adja-cent parking facilities is $3,586,000 according to President Gordon J. Van Wylen.

The college has received nearly $3 million in pr iva te gi f ts and pledges for the center . College officials said fund raising efforts for the remaining funds are

continuing. The center, which has approxi-

mately 87,000 square feet, will be activity-oriented with an emphasis on the mult iple use of space, flexibility and economy.

THE CENTER will include gymnasium space that can be divided into t h r e e a reas for act ivi t ies such as basketbal l , volleyball, tennis , badminton, gymnast ics and a rchery . An aerobic t rack will circle the gymnasium at the second floor level.

There will be an L-shaped pool designed to facilitate competition in either yards or meters.

The center will also include a conditioning and exercise room, a dance studio, handball courts , wres t l ing and gymnast ics room and classrooms.

IN ORDER TO achieve effective coordination of activities in physi-cal f i tness , health care and nutrition, the college's health clinic will be located in the new center.

A health fitness center will be located near the clinic to offer therapy and testing opportunities.

When completed, Hope will have for the first time in several decades, a facility which is adequate for the comprehensive program in physical education, recreation and athletics which has evolved over the years.

5 closer to tenure Michel exhibits work by Doug Irons

For five Hope teachers , the most important judgment of their careers to date moved one step closer to completion over the Christmas vacation.

MELV1N HARJU, ass is tant professor of economics, William Mungall, ass is tant professor of chemis t ry , G. Lar ry Penrose , a s s i s t an t professor of his tory, William Reynolds, assistant pro-fessor of English and Jack Ridl, a s s i s t an t professor of Eng ish were recommended to President Gordon Van Wylen for tenure by the faculty Status committee. If Van Wylen also approves the nominees, their cases will go to the Board of Trus tees for final approval.

P rovos t David Marker , chair-man of the S ta tus Committee, explained the purpose of tenure is to "grant freedom of speech to a teacher. He or she may speak his or her mind without fear of job termination."

HOPE professors are usually reviewed for tenure after having been he re for about six years , al though up to th ree years of credit can be given for teaching at another institution.

Promotions Two administrative promotions

at Hope have been announced by William K. Anderson, vice presi-dent for business and finance.

RUTH OVERWEG has been appointed director of non-acade-mic personnel and staff benefits coordinator while Chris Lohman has been named assistant business manager.

In her new posit'on, Overweg will be responsible for non-acade-mic staff selection, evaluation, and salary administration as well as the coordination of all employee benefit programs and payroll.

Overweg has been employed at Hope since 1967 and has served in various personnel and accounting funct ions in an adminis t ra t ive capacity.

LOHMAN will be responsible for the college's accounting depart-ment and will assist the college's business manager . She will as-sume her new duties early in 1977.

Lohman is a 1973 Hope College graduate and has worked as sales coordinator for W.H. Porter Inc. She is office coordinator for the college's admissions office. She is cur ren t ly working towards an M.B.A. degree at Western Michi-gan University.

"Once tenure is given, the college can't re lease a faculty member without very weighty personal, professional or institu-tional reasons ," Marker said. "Moral turpitude, incompetency or academic irresponsibility are the only criteria for dismissal, or if the inst i tut ion was in very dire financial straits, just about to go under . They would have to be extraordinary circumstances."

The principal criteria used to determine tenure decisions, are teaching competence, a judgment of the ability to remain active as a teacher and scholar in the years ahead, e f fec t iveness in serv ing students outside of the classroom, demonstrated leadership ability in the depar tmen t and on campus and contribution to the overall goals and objectives of the College.

Graham quits post With u t te r d is regard for a

recent article announcing that she would ref ra in from resigning, Ter ry Graham tendered her resignation from the editorship of the Anchor early Monday evening.

WHEN ASKED why she lied about her intentions concerning the Anchor, Graham admitted that the thought of returning to Hope to face another semester of nasty comments, hate le t te rs , flaccid events, and no sleep drove her to seriously considering transferring or dropping out altogether.'That's when I realized that the Anchor had to go," she said.

Graham sees her resignation as a matter that will have little or no

Abduction investigation continues...

While home for the holidays many of you were probably wondering if Public Safety and the Holland Police Department have made Hope College safe once again for night t ime strol ls . Public Safety Chief Glen Bareman repor-ted that as of yet the man who abducted a Hope coed on Decem-ber 1 is still unknown, but the Holland Police Depa r tmen t has assigned Detect ive John van Eeghan to work on the case.

WHAT HAS Public Safety been doing in the meantime? "We have had extra patrolling of the Peale Science Center a rea and have checked on people who might be capable of doing something like this," explained Bareman.

Women on campus are reminded tha t anyone needing an escort after dark may call Public Safety at 2646 or the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity at 2115 or 2361 anytime until 1:00 a.m.

effect on the Hope community. "If anyone even notices," she said, "I will regard it as a major miracle. Although, she added, "I have managed to collect no small group of people who ardently dislike me. Those people may have some difficulty finding another source of i r r i ta t ion for their dumping ground."

ACCORDING TO Graham, some people are very glad to see her go. "Dr. Gillis nearly led an all-Kletz cheer when he heard the news."

In response to allegations that she is a quitter, Graham said, "If I'm a quitter, all Hope students voted for Jimmy Carter and our basketball team regularly whips Calvin's basketball team!"

ANYONE interested in taking on the editorship is encouraged to contact Dr. Hemenway in the English department.

Delbert Michel, associate pro-fessor of a r t at Hope will be featured in the Matrix Gallery at Indiana University from January 7 through Feb rua ry 4. The show includes recent acrylic paintings, drawings, and silkscreen prints.

MICHEL HAS exhibi ted his works in museums, univers i t ies and galleries in 15 states and has won prizes in national competitive exhibit ions for his paint ings, drawing and prints.

In Indiana, he has exhibited in the Ball State University National Drawing Show (prize), the Hoosier Salon (prize), the National "Works on Paper" exhibit ion at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and the "Art 500" National Painting Show.

IN THE PAST four years, he has had work accepted in international competitive shows and has had three exhibitions in London at Croydon College of Art, Issleworth Polytechnic Art Gallery, and the Uppe r s t r ee t Gallery. In 1972-73 he served as vi-s i t ing a r t i s t - t eacher at Ports-mouth College of Art in Ports-mouth, England.

Michel is a native of Indiana, having a t tended high school in Rushville, Ind., and received his B.A. degree from DePauw Uni-versity. He later did his graduate work at the University of Iowa where he received his M.F.A. degree in 1964. Since that time he

has been on the Hope facul ty where he currently is chairman of the art department.

Hope College anchor

A step up the stairway

Recently 1 was informed about a pro-posal by Dr. Huttar of the English depart-ment . My reaction to this proposal start-ed all kinds of ideas turning in my head. What is this mysterious proposal that is turning the wheels so fast that my head is ready to explode? It is a proposal that would establish a committee to establish a set of editorial policy guidelines for the anchor.

The wheels are turning for many rea-sons. The first of which is the fact that the anchor is published by Hope students for Hope students. Why should the faculty and /o r the administration have anything to do with something that is done by and for the students? Are they afraid that the anchor is out to get them or out to destroy Hope? The anchor has no such intentions.

Secondly, such a proposal would be the first step up that ever so short stairway to censorship. What ever happened to free-dom of the press? As far as 1 know, it is still a constitutional right guaranteed by the first amendment to the constitution. Such a proposal would be a violation of that constitutional right as it is stated in the first amendment .

Staffing the anchor would be next to impossible if such a proposal were to pass. How could the students work conscien-tiously on a student newspaper knowing that such restrictions would be placed

% 0 ( L

"Don't Uorryl Jhty're just GyideMne&l*

upon them? If the faculty and adminis-tration want a newspaper produced by the guidelines that they establish, why don't they produce the anchor them-selves?

Such a proposal would not only be disastrous to the anchor but could be dis-astrous to the communication aspect of Hope's social atmosphere.

If such a proposal ever does get off the

ground, 1 hope that the committee or committees receiving it for the purpose of taking possible action on it consider all of the aforementioned thoughts and the important and vital role the anchor plays as the major form of student communica-tion on Hope's campus.

Dell Sneller: No Secret Jim Lampert, anchor review writer,

reviews Secret and Silent in the Ea r th , by Del Sneller, a 1961 graduate of Hope. Mr. Sneller received his M.A. and Ph.D. (1969, 1972) in English from Michigan State University. After teaching literature and directing the creative writing pro-gram at Brescia College in Kentucky for two years, Mr. Snell resigned, ultimately to return to his hometown of Holland, Michigan to work in a factory. Copies of Secret a n d Silent in the E a r t h can be purchased for $2.00 in the Hope-Geneva Bookstore or ordered from the author: 1794 Vans Boulevard, Holland, MI 49423.

BY J i m Lamper t

Henry David Thoreau, in his book Walden, wrote: "If a man does not keep pace with his fellow companions let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

F O R D E L Sneller, 1967 grad from Hope, the music of the world around him is his beat. He steps in time, syncopating wherever necessary, in such fluid motion that one wonders whether he is the com-poser or merely the musician.

Del Sneller writes poetry. His collection of poems, Secret and Silent in the Earth. speaks his innermost feelings of the world in which he lives. He writes about com-monplace occurences as if they were earth-shaking events, for they are what are important to him. Everyday people, such as the ones you might pass on the way to a class or see in the coffeeshop downtown, are his subjects, as well as the articles you read in the paper and moan about .

T H E O N L Y between you and him is that he materializes these feelings into concrete images, applicable to anyone's situation, relevant to everyone's.

It would be pointless to try and explain every poem in his book, for my feelings about their meanings and your feelings might be two opposite things. The only way to explain Sneller's poetry is to give a sample of his material and suggest certain images which come to mind from it.

O N E O F T H E most striking poems in the book is entitled "Fourth of July." It is a description of Jackie the Mongoloid's reaction to a firecracker being tqssed into his wagon. "He counted every spark/Split f rom scarlet pape r / Before noise knew the sum."

There can be no picture as valuable as the types of words Sneller uses in showing the innocence in that action, and no photographer can ever record the un-

knowing glee which was on the face of that little boy. "Television-gray smoke/ Flexed and disappeared. / Jackie sang Popeye's song."

T H E E N D IS inevitable, yet one still wonders whether the action was justified in the end or left in the air. Countless questions come to mind when a reading of the poem is made, questions which, I 'm sure, Mr. Sneller left open for a distinct purpose.

Mr. Sneller's poetry has been called, by one reviewer, the work of a "restless, com-fortable, happy man" and I would not take cause to show why that is not true. The collection of poems is indeed the work of a restless man, for they cry out for justice, speak of indecencies, reck of security and delve into fantasies.

Y E T , H O W comfortable can a man who writes of the world around him be? T h e answer to that lies in the poem "Against Writing from a Miserable Life." Sneller writes:

"Ten minutes of January night And then straight whiskey And a dollar cigar. My ladies, my family, mine. It is good To have January nights."

Sneller seems to be content with the way things go along within the spectrum in which he lives. There are things which must be changed, as we all well know, and Sneller hopes only to bring some of these things to light through his poetry. But, there is still that feeling of having the right things, being in the right place and seei/ig everything around as being right for that moment in his poetry.

S N E L L E R ' S P O E T R Y is not Rod McKuen-ish in manner . It is more con-crete, more tangible to the senses. His poetry is also not T.S. Eliot-ish in style, for it does not try to cover feelings over with double-meanings or hide what really must be said beneath a cover of symbols. Sneller's poetry is more like a simple line drawing; it gives the hard edges without spoiling the realistic softness inside.

There are many more poems which I could re-tell here, but they would only serve to strengthen what has already been said.. Del Sneller has a touch for poetry which is fresh, alive and still able to inspect the old in new ways.

Secret and Silent in the Earth is a col-lection of poems to be read and re-read, not because they would look good in greeting cards or on decoupaged plaques, but because they say what should have been said long ago; the music a man hears is a tune worth listening to.

by Miles Mulls

Hope students may not rush to 8 a .m. Chapel, to their books, to their first hour classes, or to philosophy 113 finals (I was fifteen minutes late, myself), but Hope students will rush to the tune of the Greeks within the next couple of weeks.

Rush is a phenomenon fraught with intrigue. Weeks before the first events, sorority girls strain to shed Christmas pounds in order to impress Rushees with their svelte figures. Everyone knows that bombshell bods are prerequisites for charm, sophistication, rushees and boys.

Weeks before fraternity rush begins, frat guys may be seen with worry wrinkles between their dark, mysterious eyes as they sweat like cold steel in a sauna bath to take out a minimum of twelve girls per week in order to fill their frat 's quota of Men Who Get Around.

You may think I'm making all this up. It is possible.

What twelve girls would be dense enough to go out with the same guy?

What guy is brave enough to try juggling twelve girls?

Nevertheless. For those who are freshmen, or who

declined to rush their freshman, sopho-more, junior and/or senior year, it sounds something like this:

"I've just G O T to get into Grin-Mouth-Grin!! See her over there? She's Peaches Smooth. She goes out with Muscles Doublejock! Give me four more Certs!" At that precise moment Peaches Smooth says

Those of you who don't like what the anchor is doing, stop complaining and put in your two cents worth by joining the anchor staff, for by supporting such edi-torial guidelines, the students are sup-porting an arm of the administration rather than a student newspaper.

It's possible to Cutsie Wigglebottom out of the corner of her pastel mouth,

"See that Rushee over there with the six-pack of Certs? She's going way over-board! She's gotta have more than six flavors of breath to get into Grin-Mouth-Grin!"

Compared to the fraternities, the soror-ities are masters of subtlety.

"Wow. man! Every one of these guys has three varsity letters! I can't believe Rocky Bouldergranite has held that Mr. World pose for forty-five minutes!" says one Rushee. as he surveys the members of Grunt-Ugh!-Grunt with awe.

"Where's that rush book we're sup-posed to sign?" says a second, who is less awed than dismayed, and blessed with a 103-pound build.

"You walked on it when you came through the door. It's shocking pink with flourescent green pages. I guess they were afraid we'd miss it," says the first as he lit the three cigars offered him by Muscles Doublejock.

"Hi. I'm Joe. I live on the first floor," says the first Rushee.

"Hi. I'm Muscles Bulging Doublejock IV, and I go out with Peaches Smooth. You gotta work up to eight cigars at once to get into Grunt-Ugh!-Grunt!"

You may say I'm making all this up. It is possible.

Who can fit eight cigars in their mouth, let alone light them all with one match and keep them all lit?

My old friend Mao Tse Thomas used to say, "----! I'd rather rush than watch All My Children!"

Call my number During the span of each Christmas

break, I forget every number assigned to me except my bicycle lock combination. 38-24-36 corresponds nicely to Cindy Bere's measurements.

I had a rough session this morning try-ing to squeeze my student number out of the president of the College. Every time I punched him in the teeth he spewed bilious piles of IBM cards at me and reams of print-out with "I am just a poor, defenseless computer . You do not com-pute. ERROR. ERROR." typed all over it.

He's a tough cookie to crack, but I'll get him this afternoon if I have to barri-cade the Physics-Math building and threaten to pull his plugs.

But the very moment I swaggered out of his office he began his counter-attack, calculating to squeeze me out of school.

When I reached my room, I noticed that my floor was carpeted with wall-to-wall transferred men. I was uterly appalled and speechless. A small sized woman with blond hair and a gap between her teeth

stood by my circa 1947 prophilactic machine counting heads.

"Stop it." I intoned quietly. "And get these sorry Cosmos-to-be out of my room. You can tell by the demented gleam in their eyes that they are bent on spreading stale Felicitations all over this place and tormenting me mercilessly."

"You have no cause to panic, Anley." She beamed at me around the gilt edges of an oversized Delphi Alumna badge. "We'll find room for them by December."

"But the anc/ior office is completely empty. Why not put them there to rub their hands and gnash their teeth out of my vicinity?"

"Why, Mr. Miles, the anchor office is condemned."

"It's me who's condemned. Who will take me in? Where shall I sleep?"

"Why not stand on a table in Phelps and strip and yell, "I 'm easy," Anley?"

"Madam!" "It might work."

Review of rock music of 1976 by Kenneth Lobb

Rock rolls on, faster and more divergent than ever before.

And al though a r t i s t s in our Bicentennial year didn ' t break through with any earth-shattering trends for 1976, the year neverthe-less produced a bountiful amount of good music.

THE MOST exciting aspect of the year was that we saw our oldest musicians, the rebels of the 1960's, return with a strong show of albums. Since many of these artists were considered to be on the wane, 1976 must be termed the year of the comeback.

The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Starship, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppe-lin, the Doobie Brothers, and even Grand Funk Railroad came through with unquestionably su-perb albums.

PERHAPS THE best treat of the year was the re-emergence of the bear-like guru from California, Brian Wilson. After three years of virtually hiding in his room, the creative force of the Beach Boys returned to the studio, healthy and mentally stable.

The Beach Boys' album in 1976, 15 BIG ONES, remains crude and

unfinished, but just knowing Brian was actively par t ic ipat ing is a hopeful sign for the future.

BLACK AND BLUE is called the Rolling Stones' best by their many faithful fans; certainly it's their best since the EXILE ON MAIN STREET era of 1972. Rod Stewart returned to respectability with A NIGHT ON THE TO WN. Santana returned to their roots with AMIGOS.

JACKSON BROWNE, a f te r suf fe r ing a personal t r agedy in March (his wife committed sui-cide), managed to give us THE PRETENDER. Tha t ' s his best-focused work thus far and avoids being sluggish.

As far as critical acclaim goes, the two bands competing for honor as best American group are the Eagles and Steely Dan. Both released satisfying albums in 1976 (see below), and so far show no signs of letting up.

BIG-BUSINESS shows us what it can do once it decides an album needs promoting. This is distres-sing, but inevitable. Look how Frampton sky-rocketed. Watch out, because Queen and Heart are next.

Several new bands stirred up attention during the year, witn

plenty of substance in their music to wa r r an t such a t ten t ion . I'm thinking here of Boston, Warren Zevon, and David Foreman. Tom Waits and Andy Pratt , who had been practically unknown before 1976, might as well be placed on this list, also.

BELOW IS a rundown of what I consider the top 10 albums of 1976, and a short synopsis of why their work deserves merit. 1. Boston- BOSTON This debut album was mostly recorded in the basement of Tom Scholtz', compo-ser of the music and possessor of a revolut ionary hard rock gui tar sound. Heavy music dealing with identifiable, juvenile themes, like "Hitch A Ride." 2. Doobie Brothers TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS - Tom Johnston's role in this group has been diminished, but new member Micheal McDonald, who wrote the title cut, gives the Doobies a new balance and fresh sound. Tight, smart playing that has a slight Latin feel. 3. Bob Dylan - DESIRE - The violin of Scarlet Rivera and the harmony voice of Emmylou Harris give Dylan a new direction, for one album at least . Broadway thea t r ic i s t Jacques Levy wrote

most of the lyrics, but the secret was that Dylan knew enough he needed help. 4. The Eagles - / /07 '£L CALIFOR NIA - The Eagles slipped in their album at mid-December, but it deserves mention as one of the year's best. Joe Walsh gives the group a heavier sound, but the music still qualifies as California-Style country rock. Intel l igent composing and pacing of songs. Nothing teeny-bopper about this album. 5. Genesis - A TRICK OF THE TAIL • Genesis abundant ly proved tha t not only can they opera te without former band leader Peter Gabriel, but they're better off without him. Dreamlike, magical music without getting too eerie. 6. Linda Ronstadt - HASTEN DOWN THE WIND- There's no stronger female voice in rock than her's, and with this album, she's at the peak of her career. A powerful i n t e rp re t e r who is clearly in control of what she records. And finally, males have a rock 'n roller who provides an outlet for their erotic fantasies, something women have had for years. 7. Boz Scaggs - SILK DEGREES -It's nice to see him finally accepted

after years of remaining at the cult level. Boz plays no instrument on this one, concentrates on vocals, and turns in a focused, creamy effort. 8. Steely Dan - THEROYAL SCAM - Donald Fagen- has the most distinctive voice in America, and he and Walter Becker's songs deal with literary, sophisticated subjects , almost mini-novellas. Instrumentation is just as clever, and exciting to hear. 9. Tom Waits - 5 M 4 L L CHANGE On his fourth album. Waits finds a peaceful bitterness in his common-man world of taxi-drivers, street-walkers, waitresses, and show-biz alcoholics who never made it. It's not hard to find beauty in his hoarse, scratchy bark. 10. Stevie Wonder - SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE- This is what music of the 70's is all about : smooth melodies blended with a bit of soul, lyrics delving into the problems of society (without ge t t ing too pessimistic), and a technically refined production. All given to us by a gifted blind man who wrote all the songs, sings all the vocals, plays most of the ins t ruments , and then a r r anges and produces the entire work. A gem.

Feeding your album fetish by Kenneth Lobb

Trying to keep a record collection up to date is about as fruitless as keeping abreast with your studies. My fetish is so bad I'd rather buy an album than put food on my table.

WHEN ONE GETS this fanati-cal over rock music, it becomes evident that some albums contain music which will survive the test of time and can be enjoyed just as much in 1984 as they are today.

And if I'm going to favor music over food, I might as well pass on my 50 favorite platters for your consumption, albums which should be in everyone's collection.

ARTISTICALLY, these albums are classics and nothing less; ironically, not all have been huge commercial successes. Check 'em out before they all go out of print.

Second semester gets underway

Dutchmen gain by Doug Irons

The transition from last semes-ter to this one sounds like a good news and bad news joke for the Dutchmen's basketball and wrest-ling squads, only it 's not that funny.

THE GOOD news? Several promising prospects have joined the teams after not trying out for one reason or another f i rs t semester. The bad news? Some of last semes ter ' s key players are

now scholastically ineligible. Coach Russ Deve t t e gained

guard Kevin Clark over the break, but lost two players , including f i rs t semes te r s tandout Chris Peterson, who had been leading the team in scoring with a 21.5 points per game average. "There's no way it can't hurt us." DeVette noted, "but we have to adjust to it. We're trying to make our play more team-oriented; get a more even distribution of scoring."

WRESTLING coach George

Kraf t echoed almost identical sen t iments to DeVet te ' s in a separa te interview. "I t hu r t s . We've always been lean in terms of numbers; we've always had to forfeit weight classes. We were forfeiting two classes before Christmas. It gets to be a question of how many classes can you forfeit and expect to win?"

Three wrestlers may be ineligi-ble second semester because of grades . But again, some new talent is coming in this semester.

"KURT DROPPERS was an excellent high school wres t ler , though he didn't wrestle last year. He'll give us a genuine 190 pounder. I'd been filling it with a guy that weighed 158 soaking wet. And Brad Ackerman may be back at 118 after a semester's absence. That ' s one of the classes we'd forfeited before."

The first test of DeVette's new game plan of balanced team play received its first test January 8 and passed with flying colors. A

previously undefeated Lake For-est team left the Civic Center with their first loss of the season, as the Dutchmen won 71-67. Ten players broke into the scoring column for Hope. Jim Holwerda led the Dutch with 16 points, followed by Scott Peterson with 11.

The wrestlers have their first match of the new semester tonight, putting their 3-0 record on the line agains t Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music.

Cheerleading: ...An alternative look

Most people think a cheerleader is a fluffy, brainless female who bounces around, makes a lot of noise, and goes out with the captain of the football team. Sure, this can be true of some cheerlea-ders, usually while they're at the grade school level, but it's not true for the majority of us.

FIRST OF all, besides leading cheers at athlet ic events , the cheerleaders are primarily regar-ded as sex objects. The motion picture industry has encouraged this stereotype by producing an X-rated movie a few years back, THE CHEERLEADERS, and more recently, an R-rated movie, THE POM POM GIRLS, both of which exploit the sex lives of "typical cheerleaders." If you are a

cheerleader, hardly a game goes by without being grabbed while walking through a crowd. This action is of course encouraged by the fact that a cheer leader is associated with short skirts and cute little bloomers, which are visi-ble to the crowd when she performs a cartwheel. This outfit tends to give the impression to the male crowd, that a girl so free to flaunt her behind is probably "fair game" off the field as well.

The brief uniforms are worn fun-damentally to enable a cheerleader to freely do her stunts, just as shorts are worn by male athletes, such as basketball and soccer players, to give them freedom of movement. But of course, males bouncing around in shorts are not

as susceptible to getting pinches as females.

MOST OF us didn't go to school to land that football player for a husband, settle down, and have babies. We're interested in pursu-ing a career after we graduate. Being a cheerleader is something we've been into since adolescence, and it has taken up a lot of time and energy. It's hard to work a par t- t ime job because of the demanding schedule. And school-work also suffers when you have week night away games that you don't r e tu rn from until two or three o'clock in the morning.

Being a cheer leader is just another way of being involved. We put so much time and effort into what we do, mainly because it's fun. We get to meet a lot of good people who are just as interested and involved with the school as ourselves.

SO, BEFORE you make a wisecrack at a game, or laugh as you walk by one of our practices, or think of a cheerleader as a dumb female, think of us just as any other club or organization. We're all here for the same reason, promoting our school.
