The girls were very excited and relieved to hear the news. However, they have not yet performed at any of the basketball carries. They are planning on displaying their talents at the basketball game on Saturday, December sixth. The girls will try to hai.e a varied repotoirre. They do not wish to repeat a routine more than twice, preferrably not at all. To achieve this goal the Behrendettes began practicing back in Oc tober. They now practice every Monday and Wednesday at 8:00pm in Niagara Hall. The season starts in December and is finished in February with a total of nine games. They will only be available for the home games. Although the Christmas holiday semester break will bring the students home. on ly one game will be missed. The last performance before the break is December tenth. The season will commence again when we return on January twelfth. The Behrendettes consisted of twenty members but have been reduced to sixteen which they feel will be sufficient enough to contribute to a very successful year. Spirit alone will not make a Behrendette squad. Finances are always a necessity. With the season already beginning the team did not have time to wait for their budget request to be approved. Therefore they created their own uniforms. They will be attired in white t-shirts with designs made of glitter. This will be complimented by tight fitting black pants, white socks and shoes. This outfit will only be temporary until the Student Govern ment Association approves the budget proposal at the next meeting to be held Wednesday night, December third. This has already been approved by the Budget Committee. The money they hope to receive will he used to reimburse the dancers as well as finance the much needed new uniforms. The desired ensemble will include blue material used to make the blouse and slacks, gloves, porn-poms and perhaps even hats. Everyone is anxiously awaiting to observe the Behrendettes in action. Sophomore captain Lori Davison says that one of their greatest fears is disappointing the audience. But this emotion is one shared by many per formers everywhere. She said, "We're all very excited. We really hope to inspire enthusiasm at the games." She hopes that many people will sup port both the basketball team as well as the Behrendette Dancers. it out during by Angela Papaleo Collegian Staff Writer Gorniak completes a lay-up Chi's Mexican Restaurante.
