Tryouts in spring By Donna McCown Kirby The cheerleading program at UNCA is changing, ac cording to new cheerleading advisors, Liz Smith and Marilyn Williams. The recent formation of the new junior varsity squad, the Lady Bulldog Cheerleaders, was the first step in the anticipated program of improvements. The next step is the addition of men to the varsity squad. Williams said she hopes to accomplish that in March when the varsity team wUl be chosen. "This past summer our squad had to attend a special (cheerleading camp) class for girls only," Williams said, "because we were one of nine schools, out of the 100 represented, who had no men cheer leaders." "There are stiU some," Williams said, "who have the mistaken idea that male cheerleaders are 'sissies.' Male cheerleaders at GNCA? They don't realize that this is a very athletic activity." To qualify as cheer leaders, Williams said, men must be in good physical condition. They must be able to bench press about 125 pounds, because they win be required to lift and hold the girls up with one hand. Mark Anderson, a trans fer from Mount OUve Col lege, is interested in the new cheerleading program. "I've always been sports oriented", he said. "It helps me to keep fit phys ically and alert mentally." While cheerleading is not technically a sport, Anderson expressed the opinion that "you really need the same physical training as football play ers in order to be a good male cheerleader." Anderson agrees with Williams that male cheer leaders have been stereo Up In Arms: Anna Garrison (top) and Latrisha Sibert may have help in the spring when UNCA hopes to add male cheerleaders to the present roster. Photo by Pam Walker typed as less than manly. "It takes real maturity and a bit of worldly ex perience," said Anderson, "to be able to look past stereotypes and not be in fluenced by our peers." Anderson believes the idea of male cheerleaders at UNCA is a good one, and that it will become more widely accepted as students get more used to it. "Appalachian State and Western already have male cheerleaders," he said. "Right now it's in its em bryonic stage but every thing has had its own beginning at one time or another. There's got to be a starting point some where." Any man who is phys ically fit, strong enough to lift a young lady with one hand, and Ukes to be in on things from the start, is encouraged by Liz Williams to see her about the possibility of becoming a cheerleader.
