Nowe r uor & in Hang Kong Hunan & Szechuan Style Many vegetarian dishes Following the advent of football season and the recent commercial success of the movie "Bring It On," cheerleading seems to be on the pub- lic consciousness. Male participants, in particular, must deal with many of the stereotypes associated with cheerleaders. Weekend, Etc. editor Jenni Glenn took the opportunity to chat with third-near cheerleader Joe Paunovich about the challenges fac- ing men in his sport. 4 The Michigan Daily: How did you get involved in cheerleading? JP: My freshman year I wanted to learn how to do gymnastics and that type of thing. It ended up being a lot of fun, so I stuck with it. TMD: How did your friends react when you told them you were joining the cheerleading squad? JP: It's not something that's like a typical male sport, I guess, so some of them thought that it was funny or won- dered why the heck I was doing it. TMD: And why was that? JP: Basically, the type of guys that are involved in it are from similar backgrounds to me, so it's a lot of fun. TMD: What is a typical practice like? JP: We'd probably do anywhere from a half hour to 45 minutes of passes and stuff like that. Partner stunts, basic gymnastics... We would go over cheers and stuff to make sure we're ready for the games. TMD: What is your favorite part of being on the team? JP: Getting to go to bowl games. basketball tournaments, just travel- ing, getting the opportunity to meet many people. TMD: What is the biggest chal- lenge of being a cheerleader? JP: It's a much more athletic sport than I had originally thought when I got involved in cheerleadin. I thought within a week I'd be able to do everything there was. There's a lot more to it in terms of balance and strength. TMD: What do you think of the uniforms? JP: I would probably choose alter- nate uniforms if I had the choice, but it's pretty traditional. The guys don't really care for the short shorts and polyester in general, but if you're going to be a cheerleader, that's part of the gig. If they told us we could wear warm up pants and a sweat- shirt, we would, but I don't think it's happening any time soon. TMD: How do you feel about media portrayals of cheerleaders, like in the recent movie "Bring It On?" JP: I think it was a very poor por- traval of cheerleading in general. ... Cheerleaders are some of the nicest athletes; we're supposed to be cheery. A lot of the stereotypes came out, like sleeping around. I don't think any of that's really true. We're just normal people without any of the quirks or whatever. Some Natural History-Chris Doyle THEATER Some Natural History-Chris Doyle See Thurs. Media Union. 12-6 p.m. Free. 764-0395.
