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

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."
