The jury is in and they have decided to allow the Behrendettes to exist
here at Penn State-Behrend this year. 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.

have been "close but no cigar."

his fourth year at Behrend. "But,"
he added. "we're going for the
cigar this year."
Although the Cubs began their
season with a loss to the Gannon
Knights. they bounced hack with
consecutive wins over Bethany and
Thiel.
Behrend's opening game against
Gannon took place at Gannon's
