Pep Club Group Says Accusations Are Unjust
Tuesday, Feb. 21, 1955
Members of the pep organizations do not want the blame for the "apathetic attitude" and "lack of inspiration and ability to inspire others" of which they say they have been accused by students and faculty.
The situation was discussed at the last meeting of the Jay Janes.
Comments by students
Not Pop Club's Fault
Members of the Ku-Ku's, Red Peppers, Froshawks, and Jay Janes have expressed concern for the problem which was described as "becoming worse and worse." Students are.
Seat Visitors Elsewhere
Evelyn Updike, Olathe junior and member of the Jay Janes said, "I don't see why dignitaries should be seated in the pep section in the first place. It would seem of mutual benefit if visitors could be seated on the other side of the field house. It seems to bother them when we yell and that bothers us. In order to get decent seats many pep club members have attended games not in uniform to take their chances sitting elsewhere."
"Things are far from what they should be in the pep clubs," said Joyce Hike, Lawrence senior and historian of the Jay Janes. "But it's not our fault and we aren't satisfied to take the blame. Seating every visiting dignitary and other nonpep club persons in the section reserved for us is the main reason for a bad situation. Did you ever take a look at the pep club section? It used to be a uniform, solid red and white. It looked good. Now, with every general admission in the section, it looks motley. This isn't our fault and something will have to be done if we're to have any pep section in the future."
Vince Bilotta, East Orange, N. J., junior and cheerleader said, "Our pep situation could be improved if the section could even be divided so that pep clubs would have half of the pep section for them and half for special friends of the University. Another thing, the main student body is so far from the pep section that we receive little or no response because most students feel they aren't part of the cheering."
