Picture this: two football teams alone in a huge stadium battling it out to see who is the better one. Sounds boring, huh? Now picture this, the same event, except this time with crowds of students, alumni, and fans cheering, whistling, and screaming along for their favorite team-the UCLA BRUINS! Though some spirited fans needed no encouragement, the heart of all those cheers and ex- citement was helped and pro- duced by the UCLA Rally Com- mittee, an entirely student-run volunteer organization responsi- ble for the production of card shows. Who would have thought when the first card show at UCLA was performed in 1931 that it was the onset of a rich tradition that has lasted for decades? To produce a card show, a lot of planning, dedication and hard work must be done. Our active membership of approx- imately 50 students put in more than 170 hours per week of vol- unteer time, said Chairman Tim Johnson. Hard work and dedication were required of the Rally Committee since each summer many of the volunteers spent endless hours creating, design- ing, and producing bigger and better card shows. Not only was UCLA one of the handful of schools to have half time card shows, but also it was the only school in the country to do an original card show at every UCLA home game. We try to come up with stunts and themes that appeal to both the average football fan and the UCLA students, like ' On the Road to Roses ' for Homecom- ing, said Art Director Kathy Yang. -Sylvia Ghazarian The spirit behind the cards-tbe UCLA Rally Com- mittee, opposite, begins work at least four hours before kickoff.

Whether you were at a Bruin football, basketball or volleyball game you couldn ' t help but see and enjoy the antics of the two huge, furry bears known as Joe and Josephine Bruin. UCLA ' s Mascots Joe (Devon Smith) and Josephine 0essica Moore) Bruin approached their respective characters uniquely. While Moore claimed, When you smell that bear suit you totally change. , Smith said, I decided it was just going to be me in a bear suit. Eight years ago the bear suits were made, and Joe and Josephine were born. Most recently, their roles changed to let Josephine attend men ' s as well as women ' s sports (to which she was previously restricted). Each preliminary and final try-out consisted of five parts, including pre-prepared and im- provisational routines and ques- tions from the judges. Passing a written test of sports knowledge was required. Both males and females could try out to fill either mascot role. The con- didate who scored the most points in try-outs became Joe, while Josephine earned the next best score. Smith approached his try out with the attitude, I ' 11 just have fun. If I make it, I make it. Despite the crowds and hectic schedules all year long including up to 4 games per week, both of this year ' s mascots were en- thusiastic about their roles. As Moore said, I can do anything I want until someone says don ' t. You get to react, instead of act. You can run out onto the field and jump up and down like the crowd really wants to do! -Melani V.
