Woods named All-American
Hard work pays off for LU cheerleader
The National Society of Black Engineers will meet
today, 6:30 p.m., 241 Cherry Engineering Building,
Naomi Crockett, spokesperson, said.
Delta Psi Kappa
Delta Psi Kappa has inducted eight members, Mary
- Bower, secretary, said.
The new members are Hilda Rodriguez, Stafford
sophomore: Nancy Walker, Newton senior; Peggy
Ryall, Beaumont senior; and Robbie Reeves, Silsbee
junior.
Also, Dana Thorton, Kountze junior; Vicki Adkins,
Evadale senior; Phyllis Norman, Sour Lake senior;
and Linda Frederick, Mauriceville junior.
Officers for the year are Brenda Zent, Vidor senior,
president; Judy Lehner, Miami, Fla., senior, vice
president; and Elizabeth Ellisor, Liberty junior,
treasurer.
Also, Bower, Ladson, S.C., secretary; Sharon
Blankenship, High Island senior, chaplain; and
Charlene Decuir, Hamshire senior, historian.
Karen Greenockle, instructor in health and women’s
physical education, is the group’s sponsor.
Outgoing, a little athletic
and not bashful is how Julie
Woods describes “the per-
fect cheerleader.”
And when she describes
herself, she, not realizing it,
uses these same adjectives.
In her second year as a
Lamar cheerleader, Woods
has been selected as one of
20 National Cheerleading
Association’s All-America
cheerleaders.
When she found out she
had received this award, the
former Port Arthur Thomas
Jefferson High School
cheerleader said, “I was
shocked. I never knew they
had this, but I was proud of
myself.”
Even after deceiving this
recognition, Julie attributes
her success to the other
Lamar squad members.
“It’s all team work. We
are all like brothers and
sisters,” she says. “Some
people think it looks easy,
but to be good it takes a lot of
practice.”
She said she spends at
least 12 hours a week on
cheerleading. "This in-
cludes practice and games,
plus what you take home
with you.”
But the actual cheering is
not the only part of
cheerleading the petite
green-eyed junior likes. She
says that being a Lamar
cheerleader lets her do
something for the school,
and also she can get close to
the teams.
Julie’s favorite part of the
cheerieading, however, is
the double-stunts. The
reason she likes this aspect
the best is because “it’s a
challenge. When you hit one,
it feels like an ac-
complishment. I like them
because of self-
satisfaction.”
If you’ve ever seen her
cheering at football games,
then you know that she not
only does double-stunts, but
she does very difficult stunts
with her partner, Mike
Killingsworth. She said she
is able to do these because,
“I'm not chicken.”
It was Mike, ap-
propriately, who summed up
Julie’s cheerleading
abilities when he said,
“She’s the best.”

Ronald Reagan’s cam-
paign chief of staff, Ed
Meese, and his campaign
chairman, Sen. Paul Laxalt
of Nevada, say the
president-elect would be
happy to see the the lame
duck session of Congress
pass a tax cut.
Senate Republican leader
Howard Baker of Tennessee
said he also will work for a
tax cut, but expects House
Democrats to throw up a
roadblock during the special
session that opens today.
Rep. Sam Gibbons, D-
Fla., a possible chairman of
the taxwriting House Ways
and Means Committee next
year, said in an interview
with United Press In-
ternational that Congress
should not deal with a tax

cut during this weekts
session. Gibbons
acknowledged there may be
tax cuts ahead, but not as
much as the 30 percent over
three years that Reagan
favors.
Reagan campaigned on a
platform calling for a 10 per-
cent cut in taxes next year
and a similar cut in the next
two years. The Senate
Finance Committee has ap-
proved a one-year plan, but
its bottom line — a total $39
billion in tax cuts next year
— has much in common with
the Reagan proposal.
Meese said Reagan would
like it if the Finance Com-
mittee version were enacted
this year. Then Congress
could work on modifying the
bill next year to meet the
exact specifics the
president-elect wants, he
suggested.
