Radclife girls are making another concerted drive to smash College tradition and become cheerleaders, according to a story in yesterday's Boston Globe.
The Globe piece credited an Annex junior with the statement: "What Harvard really needs is some pappy cheerleaders. Why must it keep pretending to be a men's college.?"
Athletes and cheerleaders contacted by the Globe greeted the remark with mixed reactions.
"Very good," said Dick Clasby, 1953 football captain-elect. "It would add a little color."
But cheerleader Bill Soule '53 didn't like the idea. He felt it wouldn't fit in with the "fight fiercely" tradition.
Varsity guard Eli Manos '53 gave the general team consensus when he commented, "The Radcliffe girls I've seem would appear ridiculous as cheerleaders. They just don't look the part."
With their story, the Globe run a picture, showing two Radcliffe juniors demonstrating a cheerleading technique. They were Judith Kapstein and Janet Titus.
