Cheerleaders rally for respectability They risk taunts, work hard, and are out there to perform By David Carlson Of the Emerald Ignoring the risks of being dubbed "airheads” and of being hit with ice cubes thrown by irate fans, 45 people tried out for the University rally squad this year. The group of 45, six men and 39 women, was gradually reduced over four days by a panel of six judges who questioned the cheerleading candidates about their sports knowledge and judged their dance skills. When the tryouts finally concluded, seven women and three men were chosen for next year's squad. Rally squad adviser and former Universi ty cheerleader Mike Maulding says the in itial careful selection — and hard work dur ing the season — pays off. "I admit my bias," Maulding says, "but people who have seen all the Pac-10 rally squads rate Oregon's the best along with USC." He says this is especially impressive when coupled with the fact that the Univer sity of Southern California squad has help from professional Hollywood choreographers. "Our choreography comes from our talent, from the fact that we become very close friends and from camps that we at tend," Maulding says. In August, some University squad members will attend a National Cheerleading Association camp in Berkeley to learn the latest rally squad moves. The summer also brings a rigorous train ing schedule. The squad will work out five days a week, seven hours a day. During the school year the squad practices for two hours three or four days a week, Maulding says. Despite the demanding schedule, people are attracted to the rally squad because of their love of sports and because the Univer sity squad emphasizes dance, he says. "In the past we primarily did pyramids and gymnastics, but dance ability is now very important and these people love to dance," he says. Returning cheerleader Nancy Loo, a jour nalism major, says she enjoys all aspects of cheerleading. "I love to dance, I love to stay in shape and I love to perform," she says. Loo says she also likes the public rela tions aspect of cheering. The squad members represent the University at parades and fashion shows, and appear for public service organizaions such as the Lion's Club. Architecture student Scott Miler, a se cond year rally member, says he doesn't mind being a free goodwill ambassador for File Photi> Like all University sports teams, the rally squad puts in long hours of practice and training before taking to the football field. the University or all the hard work — as long as he gets to perform. "Performing in front of thousands of people is a trip," Miler says. Miler says one drawback to performing in the limelight is the danger of flying objects. "You have to put up with ice cubes flying by your head because you're caught in the crossfire between the fans and the players and refs," he says. Kym Easton, who is studying telecom munications, echoes Loo and Miler in her love of performing and dancing and finds the stereotype of the dumb blond cheerleader objectionable. "You can't really be an airhead or a dingbat because dancing takes a lot of time, work and dedication," Easton says. Loo strongly agrees and says "I'm not blond, I'm not dumb and I have a higher CPA than most people I know." et at.
