Three IUK women represented the University at the Knights' athletic events this academic year. Freshmen Leslie Beck, Lora Lund, and sophomore Marla Grove were the IUK Knights cheerleading squad, selected at auditorium try-outs on September 25th. Squad members are expected to re- present IUK and the Knights basketball team at all times, maintain a 2.0 GPA throughout the academic year, and as- sist in the promotion of the basketball team. The three candidates performed their routines in front of a selection committee consisting of Shirley Wilson, IUK Director of Personnelg lack Tharp, Director of Student Development, Rex Chaplin, IUK basketball coachg and loe Dishon, SUB co-president and basket- ball team member.

Beck, an accounting major and a Kokomo resident, was a member of the cheerleading squad at Northwood High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana for one year. ul wanted to become more involved with IUK and meet more peo- ple, Beck said of her reasons for try- ing out for the squad. The other freshman member of the team, Lora Lund, is also a Business ma- jor. Lund is a Peru, Indiana native and was a member of her Peru Wrestlerette squad. Lund stated she tried out for the Knights' squad because she uwanted to meet new people and promote school spirit.

All three girls agree that promoting team spirit and generating enthusiasm on a commuter campus such as IUK was their biggest challenge. Our main problem was getting the team recognized, Beck stated. A lot of students don't even realize that IUK has a basketball team. This year marks the first in IUK history for cheerleaders and the three squad members pulled out all the stops to promote team spirit. Each basketball game saw a flurry of signs in the hallway advertising the team, the girls all wore jackets with UIUK Knights emblazened across the back, and the season ended with a banquetfdance for the deserving basketball team members. The squad mascot peers comfortably from behind th mass of pom pons.
