Spirited men women sought for co-ed cheer team By Stacy Brasher
Stott:Mier UCO's pompon and co-ed cheerleading teams will hold tryouts for their 1999-2000 squads soon. Porn tryouts are scheduled for Saturday, April 24 at Hamilton Fieldhouse, with tryout clinics being held on April 22 and 23 Co-ed cheer tryouts will be Saturday, May 1, at Wantland Hall, with clinics on April 29 and 30. Attendance at one of the clinics is required; however, it's strongly suggested that applicants attend both days. Applications for the squads are available at the Student Activities Office, Room 424 of the University Center. Porn squad applications are due by noon April 21. Cheer team applications are due at noon April 28. Both require a $20 application fee. Neither squad has a junior varsity level, so all members are considered varsity, and incoming freshmen are eligible for tryouts.

squad." The requirements were never changed to an all-female squad; but over the years, the lack of males in the group may have been misleading. Ryan Tully, captain of the cheer team, was a member of UCO's last co-ed squad. "My freshman year we had one guy on the squad, but since then, there's just been a lack of interest," she said. Tully feels that a co-ed squad could better entertain an audience at sporting events, and that it would simply be more exciting to watch a co-ed performance. Scholarships for both squads are available. "If they (team members) meet all of the requirements during the semester, as far as attendance and such, they will receive a $250 cash stipend," said Means. "Captains typically receive $350 because of their added responsibilities." Both squads attend all home games for wrestling, football and men and women's basketball, said Means. "We also travel to many away games," she said.
