A campus clash between student council and ex cheerleaders becomes a symbol of apathy at the university. Veterans and families expect more from campus life, and critics say the cheerleaders failed to lead crowds or demand new uniforms, leaving fans uninterested.
Amid campus chatter the piece notes liberalizing club rules and social reforms under a new faculty student committee while listing engagements, honors, sports gossip, marriages, and future plans including Homecoming Queen Ruthie Hoehn, a booting plea to supporters, and reminders to be active boosters.
Editor notes cheerleaders recount early efforts to form a recognized squad at the university. They describe self funding, lack of faculty or athletic dept support, and a student boycott that helped spur action by the student council. They urge a new era of university cheerleading aligned with big time athletics.
