THE FAR SIDE

"I danced all my life," said Smith, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "I get frustrated by people who don't understand dance.
Continued from p. 1
"We're not cheerleaders, that's not our role."
The Crimson Girls began in the 1985-86 school year. They cheer at basketball and football games and perform dance routines at halftime.
Members say that many squads wear unitards and that they adopted their movements and ideas from a national cheerleading competition where the Crimson Girls placed fifth of 75 squads.
Lance Wagers, executive director of collegiate programs for the National Cheerleading Association in Dallas, Texas, said unitards were common in dance and aerobics, and that many high school and college squads wore unitards in their performances.
"We don't teach the bump-and-grind." Wagers said of the NCA's cheerleading camps.
If the squad is doing those moves, they may want to re-evaluate what they are doing. he said
The Crimson Girls have two colors of the controversial unitards. Each member purchased a blue pair for about $35, Smith said, and the squid borrowed red unitards from a Kansas City high school.
"Everybody is wearing them," Smith said. "People jogging down the street wear them."
Ann Pinkerton, Leawood senior and founder, coach and choreographer for the squad, said most
competitive squads, such as the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Southwest Missouri State. wear the unitards.
But Heck doesn't feel that "everybody's-doing-it" is enough reason.
"Just because OU cheerleaders look like barmaila does not mean that KU has to," she said.
"When men in the stands are barking at the floor, that's offensive. It shows how they feel about the women on the floor." she said.
Heck was concerned about certain dance movements that caused audience members to react rudely.
"If I had my choice, I wouldn't have any Crimson Girls," Heck said.

Heiress asks group to return donations
Doydenas, 34. wants the money refunded that she gave to The Bible Speaks, a church based in Lenox, Mass. The heirs to the Minneapolis-based Dayton-Hudson Corp., a retail empire founded by her father and uncles, made most of the donations in 1984 and 1985.
WORCESTER. Mass. — An heiress seeking the return of nearly $7 million that she donated to a fundamentalist church seemed dazed during the time that she was associated with the religious group, her father testified yesterday.

"Her body was there, but she wasn't there mentally," Dayton testified before U.S Bankruptcy Judge James F. Queenen Jr.
