| Show February 19 More energy and concentration in cheers 1982 OPINION Miss Groupie Mr Strategy ByUsaGines College of Eastern Utah basketball is always an exciting way to spend an evening What makes the evening so enjoyable is the game but also looking at the fans that swarm for throe stands Now I want you to go to the game tonight and look among yourselves and look at the different types of fans Just behind you you will find Mr CEU: He’s the ultimate in fans He’s the one that comes to the game decked out in blue and gold hat pants shirt and socks He comes to the game prepared carrying all the paraphernalia necessary to become an ardent fan such as: megaphone $20 worth of popcorn and candy bars from the concession stands game program camera and his faithful seat cushion Mr Strategy: He is the guy that could have been a pro if his mother wouldn’t have made him take tap dance lessons in elementary school You could also call Mr Strategy Mr Referee because he usually sees hidden fouls the referees always miss He is intent on telling the whole crowd of the mistake if not the whole world Mr Strategy will predict what the offensive strategy will be on the next trek up the court When something goes wrong he will say “Coach do you know what is going on” He won’t believe the coach used that guard where in his eyes a forward would have been much better ( Mrs Mom or whoever Bliss Groupie: She is the one that knows all the guys on the team by name and spends most of the game either laughing screaming flirting or parties preparing for the post-gam- e Blrs Mom: There are many of these wonderful people at the game and what a joy they are to watch You see her sitting next to a man with ear plugs in Ms ears She’s got a louder voice than Mr Strategy She also likes to help the referee find fouls on the court Give her a personalized gold-towhistle for Christinas and she’ll be in seventh ne heaven When Mrs Mom’s son isn’t in the game she worries about him not playing but the minute he gets in throe she worries he will get hurt by some meany on the other team Bliss She doesn’t know the first thing about basketball but came because her latest craze loves basketball She asks questions like why is that man standing all alone or why did that man take the basketball from the other guy? She enjoys the halftime better than anything Among them you will also find Mr Guzzler who spends the whole evening trying to sneak alcoholic beverages into the game or Mr YMCA who rushes onto the court hoping to get an autograph of his favorite player You will always find these fans at a basketball game Be sure you look for them On-A-Da- te: for today - tomorrow may be worse ByToddGorishek One question has plagued philosophers scientists and theologians since the beginning of time — What is the meaning of life? Everyone is always wondering why we are here where do we go once we are here and what do we do once we get there But as of yet no one can agree about what these answers really are It amazes me that everyone can be so blind to the fact that a very select group in this world do have answers to these questions It is the college sophomore In a world of inflation recession registration and military and energy crises we are here to live for today because tomorrow will only be worse Our priority list includes having a good time first and anything else isn’t worth listing As college sophomores we have learned to leave the minor details of quadratic equations Bohr models Hemingway and the Constitution for the freshmen to decipher Miss CEU By NaTani Noyes Applications for the Miss CEU pageant are due today at 3 pm in the student government office 1 applicants sought in the Geary Theatre given will be taken February La 22-2- 3 at Fossat Studio 52 S Main in Helper Girls 1HE EAGLE 5WI EDITOR Sports Editor Business Manager SWrttS Jayceen Craven Xlm Rasmussen AdaScovill Copy Advisor Advisor pictures During March girls are and the theme is Magic Pictures of the girls make The pageant will be must their for 7:30 held at pm on April arrangements nmorters Realizing why we are here it becomes necessary to know where to go Hie people in this world who matter need to go to Vegas and California They need to go to places where life is fast beautiful girls are abundant and the weather is great so you can enjoy the other two Those who don’t matter in this life can go to hell or Ephraim (same thing ! ) We need to stop for a moment and reflect on how we got where we are and answer the question — what do we do now? First: We don't care how we got where we are the important thing is that we are somewhere other than Afghanistan or Poland Second: Now we party like hell because tomorrow we might end up there with guns in our hands and bullets in our bellies These are the answers to those timeless questions that have plagued man for centuries but as college sophomores we have learned to wait until we are college juniors before we call the scientists and philosophers to tell them the Mike Barrett Jayceen Craven Tim Rasmussen Richard Chavez NaTani Noyes Jerry Hansen ToddGorishek Richard Chavez Larry Severeid Susan Polster THE EAGLE student publication of the College Tht Utah The Eagle Is Price Utah of Eastern dedicated to give Information and service to the student body It represents The editorial opinions expressed In The Eagle ad- do not necessarily reflect viewpoints of ministration faculty student or staff off kill AJ opportunities (Continued on Page 4) to 01982413 budget ( Condoned from Page I 38300 for the nursing and learning resource center said Randolph No money was given to CEU for capital facilities which means the PE complex once again missed funding and construction will not begin for at least another year Funded by the 1982 legislature was the SUSC Administrative building and the USU Natural Science building Both of these were on the Board of Regents Mgh priority list Now because they received funding the PE complex moves up on the Board of Regents priority listing to the third position If capital facility bonds are issued next session the building is likely to be funded Said Randolph I I M I new cheers and dances I Dear Editor I feel that there is a have seen the same problem with the dance performed at and every basketball game I cheerleaders have attended songleadersatCEU I have heard members Maybe I am critical that because the cheerleaders of the squads say other members need to and songleaders at my work harder put more high school performed energy and concentration well I realize that they into the cheers and probably had more time dances and be more to spare but I think that daring when ex- - our cheering squads perimenting with new could perform as well if stunts There is obviously not better if a Mt more contention between the energy was put into their members that should be practices and out before they formances After all this is a matter of pride and can work well together I also feel that the 'school spirit cheerleaders could spend Signed AdaScovill more time making up per-work- ed Dear editor response In response to the letter to the Editor concerning we the cheerleaders want to add our comments To begin with we practiced all summer from June through August before we competed in the Collegiate Cheerleading Clinic in California How many of you would give up your summers to practice daily? At clinic we not only came in first and second in every division that we entered our mascot brought home “Most Valuable and Outstanding Mascot” medal the cheerleaders brought home a spirit stick and for a whole group of freshmen girls I feel that we did really well We feel that no one really understands the amount of work and dedication that is put into being a cheerleader or songleader It goes far beyond class time We have to remain peppy and supportive no matter what the scoreboard reads and yet we get blamed for CEU having no school spirit All of the comments made in the letter towards the cheerleaders were totally unThe necessary If you are looking for comparisons there are none when you compare our stunts with those of other junior colleges We are the only squad in the conference with male rs You must also realize the risk involved in the building of stunts People can be seriously hurt if they were to fall Therefore we have to be very careful and we must practice them over and over again so that a trust and a confidence is built After all a stunt is only as strong as its weakest person None of us have ever worked with male before and our stunts were at first very elementary As the year has progressed we have added more challenging and visually appealing stunts We feel that the person who wrote the editorial yell-leade- yell-leade- rs concerning tention the in con- the cheerleading squad was not well informed enough to know what she was writing about As far as we are concerned the difficulties that we have had within our squad this year have been very minor and extremely few and normal enough to occur in any group of 13 in- opinionator could have come to us personally dividuals who are and voiced her views working together Instead she choose the Through this year’s cowards way out — as we squad we have developed talked to her before many close friendships we have learned to writing this letter Furthermore our confide in each other and squad as a whole has work together and we been told many times by find it very offensive unprominent members of when ah outsider our community not to derminds our efforts We feel very proud and mention respected professors at CEU how excited of what we have much they enjoyed accomplished this year watching us and that we compared to what we were among the best have seen in the past squads that CEU has years We feel very sorry everhad '(Continued oh Pm I) |
