for the Homecoming game on Oc
tober 11. Although they did not
cheer for any other soccer games,
they cheered for this particular

around, they will be out on the
courts rooting for our Cubs.
On November 22, the
cheerleaders are holding a
workshop for the elementary and
grade school children in the Erie
area. They plan to teach the kids

The 1987 Penn State Behrend
mens volleyball club apparently has
their work cut out for them as they
open their pre-season tournaments
following an impressive 13-1
season by last years members.
During the 1986 Spring semester
the mens club team spiked their
way to a 13-1 record, which gave
the club a competitive reputation in
the field of club volleyball. By the
end of its first year in existance in
the Eastern Volleyball Association,
the newly organized, mens team
was ranked in the top five mens
volleyball clubs in the East. The
"new team" coached by Dr.
Robert Light, eventually settled for
an official spot of being ranked
third in the East among mens club
volleyball.
The 1987 Penn State Behrend
mens volleyball club showed the
same team spirit as they set their
way to a third place position at a
club volleyball tournament held at
Fredonia State University. Com
peting against teams from the sur
rounding areas of New York and
Pennsylvania, the Behrend club
placed well in the tournament
in which ten teams competed.
Recognized only two losses to the
same team at the tournament;:
Steve Stegman, team member and
club president said, "The team
worked well together...l was pleas-
squads in the future. After they
finish with the workshop, there will
be a small competition with
trophies and ribbons for the Ist,
2nd, and 3rd place winners. This
activity, the squad feels, will give
the kids greater self-esteem and a
strong feeling of achievement.
Another activity:
,; includes a
hopeful hoagie sale. - Gina says,
"The sale is not definite, but I hope
that if the sale is held it will be suc
cessful." If the first dale goes over
well, there will be two or three
more sales throughout the year.

All-Star game was held at Slippery
Rock University on Monday,
November 10. The four Behrend
all-stars represented the North
squad which was comprised of
players from Mercyhurst,
Westminster, Grove City, Gannon,
and Slippery Rock. The North
squad was coached by Mercyhurst
head coach Rick Burns. The South
squad was made up of all-stars
from Pitt, lUP, Geneva, St. Vin
cent, and Pitt-Johnstown.
Head coach Herb Lauffer was
very glad to see that so many of
Behrend's players were selected.
The players were selected by the
coaches from the conference that
they played against. After each
conference match the coaches filled
in a ballot on who they wanted on
the all-star team based on their per
formance of that particular game.
Coach Lauffer said "That he was
very happy with the coaches
selection."
During the game Chris Stein
scored two goals on his way to
helping the North squad to win by
the score of 4-1.
One of the big highlights for
Todd Lindenmuth this season was
Behrend's victory over the. Unive
rsity of Buffalo. "It was a great way
to start off the season, the game
was tied and with four seconds left
we scored, it was great." Linden
muth said.
Proceeding the All-Star game
there was a buffet dinner for the
players and their coaches. At the
dinner the All-Stars were honored
with certificates and T-shirts.

also stated that the tournament was
a good experience for the team as a
whole.
This years team is equipped with
five returning club members. Steve

Clark Bradley, Doug Pecora, Tim
Wilson and Kevin Wagner. Roun
ding out the line up are freshmen
Tom Wilkinson, Ken Fisher, Steve
Shable, Sean Weaver, Carl An

generally young team shows much
enthusiasum with the upcoming
pre-season and regular season tour
naments and games. "The
challenge of the following last
years act will be good for us, we
will push harder for ourselves and
for our club reputation" said
Wilkinson.
The club team will continue to
compete in pre-season play as
much as possible. The mens team
plans to attend tournaments in
Slippery Rock and Juniata, to be
played in the future."We hope to
get in as many pre-season games as
possible" says Stegnian,"lt will

begins at the end of February, with

chased. Last year's uniforms are
out-dated and there are not enough
to go around for the squad of 12
girls. The uniforms have been
delivered and look sensational.
The cheerleaders hold tryouts
every fall for new, young,
hopefuls. This year 12 girls were
picked, which is the most the
school has ever had. Last year they
picked nine girls and only ended up
with seven because two dropped
out. The practice this fall was two
days long which was followed by
one day of tryouts. The tryouts
consist of two cheers and one
chant. For originality they test you
with your own cheer. Jumps and
stunts are an important part of
their routine also. The panel of
judges consisted of nine people.
Some were teachers, coaches, and
former cheerleaders. The cut-off
was a total of 500 points. Those
who made the team had recieved a
score of 500 points or more.
The Student Government
Association has approved a budget
to pay for the cheerleaders'
uniforms, socks, shoes, and tights.
The games away from home also
will be far, cold trips. Jan says,

Will Behrendettes dance
at halftime?
by Angela Papaleo
Collegian Staff Writer
Will there be Behrendettes this
year here at Penn State Behrend?
This question will be answered on
Monday, November 17th. This
question will be answered at the
Student Affairs meeting, when
Athletic Director Herb Lauf
fer,Assistant 'Dean of Student Af
fairs Jamie Grimm, and Assistant
ROTC Professor Major McDavid
will meet to decide the fate of the
Behrendettes. After viewing a
carefully produced video tape of
the girls talents, the group will
either be approved or disapproved.
The Behrendettes are a group of
girls that perform a dance routine
at half times at both the home and
away basketball games. They have
all previously taken dance lessons
in high school. They practice twice
a week, and the girls vary in age
from freshman on up.
The Behrendettes have not ex
isted for the past few years, this is
due to a lack of interest. In order
for it to continue there will have to
be an obvious display of interest
and an advisor that is willing to
take on the responsibility.
One problem faced by this in
spiring young group is financing
their program. The Behrendettes in
the past kept both their uniforms
and pom-poms when the season
was completed. As a new forming
group they have no money to pur
chase such items. Therefore, hopes

"The squad looks like a positive
one this year because of the larger
number of girls and their en
thusiastic feeling toward the
games," added Jan Espin.
After speaking with their advisor
Sue Hummel she says that it looks
good for the girls. "I hope that
they will be allowed to dance at

people to stay and add a little
something to the game."
