Dance continued from page 9 leadership. “Coming from high school and having three coaches, it was very dif ferent,” Kizer said. “I think we did pretty good [this year], considering. ” Because all coaching for Club Sports teams must be done on a vol unteer basis, the team opted to elect a captain, someone who would act as an authority figure within the team, as well as a coordinator for all team events. This left the dance routine choreography up to the team mem bers themselves. Carly Spainhower, a senior and three-year veteran of the team, took on the responsibilities of captain this season. After a stressful and frustrating year as team leader, Spainhower has insisted that in the future the group should elect at least two team mem bers to do the job. One captain would make contacts and handle details for performances and competitions, while the other would choreograph the routines. “It’s too much for one person,” Spainhower said. “It was too much for me.” Coaching isn’t the only problem facing the team. Along with recruit ment difficulties caused by a lack of notoriety, the team also faces mone tary problems. Because the dance team has one of the smallest budgets of the 42 Club Sports teams, most of its money is ob tained through sponsors and fundraising, as well as team members paying from out of their own pockets. This money goes toward team ex penses such as costumes for games and competitions, stereo equipment and other miscellaneous costs. The bulk of the fundraising, though, goes toward funding a trip to Las Vegas, Nev., for the annual na tional competition. “If we had more options and more organization, we would have been able to pull a lot more money in,” Kizer said. Despite growing interest in the team, the problems with money will continue to be an issue as long as it re mains a club sport. Club Sports is fair ly limited in its overall budget avail ability because it is funded through the Erb Memorial Union. “There are so many clubs and they can only give out so much money,” Taft said. “They do as much as they caii for us.” Spainhower knows that in order for her team to truly become success ful, it needs to acquire a coach and have the ability to compete on a larger level. For this to happen, she said, the dance team would have to be taken under the wing of the Athletic De partment. “Other schools we’ve seen [at na tionals] have their whole cheerlead ing squad and dance team perform to gether,” Spainhower said. “They’re both completely funded by their ath letic department, and they root each other on at all the events.” The Oregon dancers, however, are well aware that the possibility of this happening here is remote because they do not provide a money-making opportunity. Yet, despite the hardships they face and the lack of notoriety they possess, the members of the team continue to work hard for something they truly enjoy doing. “We’re people who really know what we love to do, and we’ll go to ex treme measures to keep doing it,” Taft said. “I mean, here we are, practicing three hours a day, and nobody even knows we exist.” While a few members of the Ore gon team are interested in careers in dance, most of them are in it for the sheer fun of it all. “It’s not all work,” Taft said. “We’re all good friends, too.” As of now, it is uncertain which route the dance team will take, though the team does not have many options. “Well, hopefully one day someone in a high place will say, ‘Hey, we’re the University of Oregon, why don’t we have a dance team?”’ Spainhower said. “Until that hap pens, the team will never be quite where we want it to be. ” For now, hard work and determi nation will have to do. Kizer said the most im portant thing is to gain recog nition because with it comes more support for the team. And until the team members can find somebody willing to coach them, they’ll continue the struggle on their own. “There are a lot of forces work ing against us, but we’ll keep trying to make a name for ourselves,” Taft said. As for all the hard work the dancers put in, the question remains: Is it worth it? Like many student athletes, their answer is yes. The members of the Oregon dance team appreciate the stress relief, the sense of accomplish ment and the opportunity to perform for crowds. But, most of all, they do it for fun. “The most rewarding thing,” Taft said, “is I get to do what I love most, and that’s dance.” Call (541) 346 4343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today.

Black TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 5). Don't tell everyone everything. That's been your habit, but it's unwise. This year, develop a partnership you can depend upon. You provide the ideas, and your mate leads you both into action. You point out the hazards, and your mate steers you around them. Love and adventure are your re ward for learning to share both your goals and the work it takes to get there. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8 —You may feel a little nervous if you're in un familiar territory. What you already know ap plies — or some of it, anyway.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)—Today is a 6— The money is coming in and going out quickly. Don't waste it on stuff you don't need. Trouble is, you may find something you've been want ing for ages.

If you don't have a sweetheart, look around. Odds are good you already know this person well. If you're already married to each other, take your love to a new level. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5 — Today and tomorrow will be the worst. Actually, tomorrow will be belter. To keep the jerks from undermining your confidence, ask questions. If you can keep them talking, you'll actually learn a lot. It's a great defense. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 9 — Remember the line about the truth setting you free? Thai's liable to happen again, soon. Study just as much as you can, at home, at school — everywhere. You’re on a fast track when it comes to learning. Not even the sky is the limit.
