Changes sweep across campus Yell leaders promote crowd participation The cheerlead- ing squad did not escape the wave of change that swept across Northwestern ' s cam- pus. Changes in- clude new cheers, new uniforms, an increase in members and new manage- ment. Placed under the direction of Bill Brent of Northwestern ' s mu- sic department, the 17-member squad is coached by Brad Ar- nold, Universal Cheerleading Asso- ciation instructor and is assisted by Barbara Hernandez, a local dance and gymnastics instruc- tor. According to Arnold, the squad changed the style of cheering to promote crowd participation and changed the name to yell leaders to accommodate the new style. The 1987-88 squad consisted of 13 women or pom-pon girls and four men known as yell lead- ers. Although the majority of the squad were first-time mem- bers, five of the women were on the 1986-87 cheering squad. Bill Brent, direc- tor of the band said, The spirit squad is improved over last year ' s squad. The new concept of crowd participation has been successful in bringing students and the team to- gether. They have a real touch of class in working with the band and fans. Yell leaders be- lieve the changes af- fected crowd partici- pation. From when I sat in the stands last year, the participa- tion in the crowd in- creased 100 percent, yell leader Jeff Rachal said. Other students have also noticed in- creased crowd in- volvement in sup- porting the Demons. I think there ' s been more support this year. Everyone used to go home on the weekends and now everyone seems to be staying for the game, Van Bush said. In addition to spending several hours a day practic- ing, many of the members are in- volved in a variety of campus activities including fraterni- ties, sororities, Stu- dent Government Association and Stu- dent Activities Board. Of the male mem- bers, Winston How- ard and John Kingsley are ex-foot- ball players. Yell leader Win- ston Howard said, The players know us and respect us, they know we know what they ' re going through and we want them to know we ' re behind them all the way. When you ' ve got 10,000 people yelling for you, you feel good about what you ' re doing and you get the job done. After the Arkan- sas State game, some of the football players took the time to tell us they could hear us cheering and it really meant a lot to me, yell leader Dayna Dooley said of the football team ' s reac- tion.
