Takes App
Officers Include
Johnston, McDade
By JOB MOLONY
Don Johnston, sophomore from
St. George, was elected president
of the newly formed "Gamecock
Pep Club" at a meeting of the
club's charter members Monday
afternoon at McKissick Library.
Other officers elected were:
Charlie McDade, Columbia; vice
president; Martha Petty, Colum
bia, secretary; Sam Sorota, Dor
chester, Mass., treasurer; and Joe
Molony, Charleston, sergeant-at
arms.
The club's constitution, modeled
after the University of Florida's,
was officially endorsed and ac
cepted by the Director of Student
Activities, George W. Tomlin,
Monday afternoon after having
been passed by the club Friday.
Several suggested changes by Tom
lin were made in the final consti
tution drafting Monday.
Johnston, a cheerleader, collabo
rating with McDade and head
cheerleader, Bill Dominey, sug
gested the idea after attending a
meeting of the Southern Collegiate
Spirit and Color Conference Feb
ruary 17-18 at Gainesville, Fla. He
noticed at the meeting that of the
aineteen schools participating,
Carolina was the only one without
an organized pep club. He brought
a copy of Florida university's char
ter back with him and presented it
to a group of interested students.
The Gamecock Pep Club resulted.
Any and all students who are at
least sophomores on the campus
are eligible for membership in the
club. However, membership is
limited to 2% of the student body.
The Pep Club was organized in
order to stimulate spirit in student
body activities, to present the card
system at football games, to super
vise pep parades and rallies, and
to work in cooperation with the
cheerleaders and various campus
organizations in attaining this end.
"The Athletic Department is all
for this idea," Coach Rex Enright
said upon being told of the club's
formation. "It will mean a lot to
the boys, knowing that the student
body is solidly behind them. You
know, those fellows on the playing
field need the students' whole
hearted backing. It should im
prove team spirit tremendously."
Chuck Prezioso, speaking for the
ballplayers, had this to say:
"It's a darn good idea. If this
club can keep the student body as
enthused as they were during bas
ketball season, it should go over
big."
"It's the shot in the arm Caro
lina needs," George Wright, student
body president, said. "It should've
happened long ago."
Plans have been laid for a pep
rally at the Field House next Fri
day before the intra-squad football
game when the Club will hold its
first organized meeting. Coach
Enright and several other campus1
dignitaries will address the club.
All students who desire to join
the Pep Club are requested to fill
in the form below. Selections will
be made by the 14-man (and
dwoman) group of charter mem
bers. Nominations will be received
up until next Thursday afternoon.
New members will be announced at
the club's first meeting Friday
night.
