COLLEGE- CRITERION .

Relax, close your eyes, forget rthe mid-term nightmares and let . your imag:ination ·take you into the
future ... 1 month . . ,. 4 months . . .. 10 months . . . a
year. The date is 1958, the setting is Mesa's campus and
you guessed it--homecoming. ' But gradually; as you
blink your eyes, you realize that this is a different
type of setting for .the traditio~al college .ceremony.
The campus and buildings are elaborately decorated.
Electrical systems of lights outline the dorm'itory and ·
· main domicile during the ni:ght. Many cur~ous onlookers
drive by the brilliant display Just · as if they would ·
Chr.is<tmas exhibits. Even passing motorists hav,e their
attenrtion drawn to the colorful setting. You find out
that the Mesa students decorated the building a week
before the actual homecoming date.
'
Stepping inside you notice a poster adverti.s ing
tickets to the dance and you almost gas·p .at the name
of the hand that is scheduled. Why, it's a really big
named band. Now, gr.adually, the question begins to
aris,e in your mind as to how and why these extremely
noticable changes have occurred.
By inquiring around you soon find out that the
necessary funds were acquired by halting the home-'
coming parade. At first thi8 realization seems absolutely
ridiculous. How absurd! Stopping an annual tradition
such as the parade. · You don't be.Jiev,e it. However, soon
you begin to grasp the central idea behind the whole
thing. Actually . the annual migration up main street
was not Mesa's tradition but meyely a copied one that
other schools .rapidly beg.an to use. This . new pattern
of sprucing up the . campus has probably created as
much interest in rthe students and ·in the public as the
parades ever did anyhow. Now homecoming seems to
have a different slant that is entirely on the original
scheme. Is is uniquely Mesa's.
. . . The brown box on the wall begin~ to screech ·
and the bubble built around the future bursts. It is still
1957 and it he last homecomilng ended just s·e veral wee~s
ago. However, as you move on to your next class you
begin to thing· about the possible advantages thart._your
imagined 1958 alumni festival had. Maybe it wouldn't
be 1a had idea ... Oh, what non_1;ens,e rto ever consider
making ,s uch changes ... 0:r is it nonsense ? ?·

WE DON'T LIKE college cheerleaders· who: figure
only .half the cheerleading team can handle an assembly
or game ; are afraid to get their pretty clothes muddy
in a r.ash of ,e nthusiastib cheering; S'a y "Cumon, · kids,
and please yell"; stop the frequency of the yells when
the team is in it·r ouble; lack the imagination to invent
new routines; figure their handsome and beautiful
looks a.re enough to inspire the crowd and the team;
stand around and silently shiver I when the weather is
bad ; stand around with faces that make the crowd
foel like leading them in .a cheer; figure their gyrations.
are a form of enrtertainment instead of an inspiration
to ,e nthusiasm; ·give up befor·e the game is ov,e r; figure
their election as a vote of personal popularity instead
of ·Sacred job on which the college depends; think enthusiasm for the college is only to be s:e,e n ·at games;
think football · and basketball are the only games which
need student suport.
WE LIKE college cheerleaders who: use the same
"never-say-die"spirit we expect of the team; inspire
cheers with their own enthusiasm; create new technique
for every appearance ; .ar,e more inte·r ested in getting
organiz·ed cheers than anything else, no matter what the
weather; have a sens,e of timing that wiH be of psy,chologi:c:al help to the team; hang on with the team
until the last shot or buzzer in a game; be there in full
force to help t~e team at a game or leaving on ,a trip
even when they are the only ones to show up; know·
their colle:ge is j;he best place in the nation in every
r.espect; constantly think up new ideas to develop school
spirit.
THAT'S WHY we like Mesa's ,1957-58 cheerleaders.
Howsomever, we 'uns · know of several . off-campus
student clubs and :aech which ought, to might also be in- ·
eluded. There is several church g:i:·o~ps, o' college stu- .
dents working for good caus,es, but they dori't go axing
for council funds.··
Let us all think directly ..and eventually. Is only him
who yells loud goin',ta get rich aroun' here? ·
