jowboy cheerleader PRETTY FACES AND SEXY BODIES RAISE MONEY A halftime appearance by the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders add- ed a unique touch to the kick-off celebration, Sept. 10. However, the halftime ap- pearance was not the only reason the cheerleaders were on campus. The night before, they also per- formed a benefit show to help the university raise money for academic and athletic scholarships. The university felt the cheerleaders would add a touch of class and fit right in with our ex- citing football team ' Bob Jenkins, program coordinator, said. These gals are really talented and put on a whale of a show, both on stage and at halftime ' Jenkins said that the university had tried in the past to schedule a cheerleaders ' performance, but was unable to. A committee was talking about what to do to kick the year off. We tried the year before to get the cheerleaders to appear. The response was, we don ' t know what our schedule is for the up- coming year, Jenkins said. However, Jenkins ' endeavors payed off. I just called them up and asked if they could come ' Jenkins said. And come they did, making the university the focus of green eyes. We are envied by other schools, President Gerald Tomanek said. He then explained that the presi- Toni Washington happily takes time out to autograph pictures for admiring fans. Many Hays citizens took advantage of the chance to fill their autograph books with a few extra signatures. dent of kick-off opponent Adams State College had also issued an invitation for the cheerleaders to appear. Tom Stromgren, athletic direc- tor, said that the Saturday night game was a sellout. It was the biggest opening game in the history of Fort Hays State. The profits were a little over $7,000, Stromgren said. We would have liked to have had more people at Friday night ' s performance, Stromgren said, but I feel like the people who were there were satisfied — and that is what is important. — Julia Wimberly Kicking off the evening with country music, the band.
