cheerleader.”
Other characteristics Brooks
and Maulding look for when
choosing the 10-woman, five
man crew are dance experience
and gymnastic skills for the
women, and physical strength
for the men. Appearance and
personality are key attributes as
well.
The dancing is what attracted
Brust to being a cheerleader.
"Before I became a cheer
leader 1 knew they had an ex
cellent reputation, but I've al
ways danced and 1 could con
tinue that as a cheerleader. It’s
a really fun activity.”
While the cheerleaders do get
to travel somewhat, they don’t
go everywhere the teams go be
cause of a limited budget.
“We don’t really have a set
figure to work with,” Maulding
said. "It varies all of the time.”
“Most of the money is gener
ated through the different Ore
gon Clubs and donations peo
ple check on their season tick
ets.” Brooks said.
“We mostly go places that
we can drive to such as Corval
lis, Seattle, and Pullman this
year. We will go to a football
bowl game though because the
team, cheerleaders, and march
ing band are usually a pack
aged deal.'’
The cheerleaders did follow
the Duck basketball team to
New Mexico last year for the
National Invitation Tournament
(NIT).
The women cheerleaders will
get added exposure in January
when they represent the west
ern part of the country in the
Japan Bowl all-star football
game in Tokyo along with
USC. Women cheerleading
squads from Michigan and Syr
acuse will represent the east.
"We've been in the running
the past two years for the game,
but this is the first year our
women were selected.” Brooks
said. “It’s a chance for some
national exposure, as the game
will be televised by ESPN.”
Despite the work, most
cheerleaders feel that the ad
vantages outweigh the disad
vantages.
“I wouldn't trade it for any
thing,” second-year cheerlead
er Robyn Forstrom said. “It's
good exercise and it’s fun to
travel and see lots of different
campuses. We also get lots of
exposure representing the
school."
Brust, who hopes to get into
business after graduation, sees
her time as dance captain very
valuable.
“The leadership skills I’ve
learned will really help in busi
ness,” she said. "The PR work
has helped develop my com
munication skills and these
things will help supplement
my resume.”
With eight out of 10 women
and three out of five men re
turning from last year, this year
has been particularly enjoyable
for Brooks, daughter of head
football coach Rich Brooks.
“It’s nice to have that kind of
experience back," she said.
“With that many people return
ing, it really makes for a good
year.”
