"TO CHEER OR NOT TO CHEER"
"Whomp 'em up side the head-hey! Whomp 'em up side
the head-hey hey hey !"
Contrary to the general belief, the piece of digression
that appears above is a football cheer that is expected to be
chanted with great enthusiasm by supposedly mature college
students.
Surely, the composer of such a masterpiece had to
be in jest? Either that or it was his idea of an apt de
scription of the fine art of facemasking.
With a disappointing football season now in evidence, it
has become an easy feat to criticize an apathetic student
body. Those who are quick to fault student support, how
ever, are evidently not confronted with the inane rash of
student cheers such as "Whomp 'em up."
Prior to the football campaign there had been a lot of
talk about a proposed reformation of the football cheers.
But, in the aftermath of the student elections the promises
of May turned out to be just that - promises, and the
reformation has apparently gone asunder.
It is not the purpose here to take a slap at the job
being performed by the cheerleaders. They are doing an
adequate job under adverse conditions. But if they are
to successfully revive a dying tradition at USC, the
problem must be attacked from the grass roots.
New cheers are desperately needed. Cheers that will not
possess an aura of "highschoolishness" about them. Cheers
that will not instill drudgery, but rather spirit. Finally,
cheers that will provide a student body with a sense of pride
in its school and a willingness to participate.
So how about it, cheerleaders? "Whomp" out those old
cheers and "sock it to 'em!"
In a sophomore-studded year, it has been the sparkling
performance of a couple of seniors leading the way the past
few weeks.
Benny Galloway and Wally Orrel should be singled out
for individual credit in the Gamecocks' satisfying romp over
Virginia.
Again, however, it was the sophs that shone and gave
USC fans great hope and anxiety for big things next year.
Tom Suggs, Bennie Padgett, Al Usher, and, of course, a
couple of juniors named Holloman and Zeigler.
All made things pretty rough for the Cavaliers Saturday.
