Spirit Squad adds twist to halftime
By GEOFF LEIGH Staff Reporter
The 1982 KU Spirit Squad is adding even more to an established tradition of excellence with a new coach and a new look, squad members said recently.
A banner contest, a lot of promotion and more cheerleading are all a part of the change the 16-member squad is undergoing.
"There is a strong desire for change," said Cathy Queen, the squad's new coach. "The KU Spirit Squad had turned into a professional dance team. The KU Spirit Squad was the athletic teams (that) they were there to support. The squad was more
This year the men and women who make up the squad will work more in unison, she said.
"We've got enthusiasm and dedication," Queen said. "The group meets as much as seven times a week. I couldn't believe they were — they are really giving 100 percent."
in competition for the attention with them."
THIS YEAR, the women will take
their roles and the men will be
involved in the day's work.
"We're keeping the old traditions. I realize that is a very important part of KU, but tradition doesn't mean anything if it doesn't work." Queen said.

"THIS SUMMER our group attended camp at Knoxville, with several other squads from the Big Eight. Our group ranked sixth in the partner-stunt competition involving some 30 other squads."
Queen said she was excited about the coming season.

The Lawrence City Commission Tuesday instructed the city staff to investigate two ways the city can fund a renovation of the Lawrence Opera House: raising the money with general obligation bonds, or selling industrial revenue bonds to private investors and having the city guarantee the lease payments on the bonds.
Ed Collisier, the developer of record for the Opera House, told the commission Tuesday that renovating the building would cost about $2 million. Collister said he preferred raising the money with IRBs, which he said would raise three-fourths of the cost of the renovation. The rest
would be generated through tax shelters.
City examines ways to fund Opera House
He said the city could raise the total amount with GOBs, financed through taxes, although this plan would require a city vote.
HOWEVER, THE city might run into legal problems if it both guarantees the lease payments and issues IRBs, something the city has not done before. Vera Mercer, city clerk said vesteday
Collierist he preferred the IRB option because it would insure that private investors would make money on the project.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said
she doubted that the commission would vote to raise GOBs because it would cost taxpayers too much.
However, without the guarantee, the IRBs probably would not sell. Collister said.
But the IB-rise guarantee proposal would increase the city's financial risk because the city would have to pay for the insurance. Opera House could not, Shonto said.
Although private investors would own the Opera House, they could donate the building to the city after fifteen years. A quasi-governmental organization was building commission, could operate the Opera House, Colliester said.
