Even Congress has noticed 'the problerri
with the cheerleaders. We have no real
problem getting the varsity squad to the
games. (Some have even begun to arrive
early.) The problem is getting them ito do
' something once they get there.
To save them the effort of writing hasty
letters to the editor I must admit they:
1. usually arrive in uniform.
2. have presented a number of good ideas
to Congress.
3. spend a 'lot of time talking to their
friends at the game.
4. are open to suggestion.
5. have little if any cooperation from the
crowd.
Many of the students have been asking
why they are so unwilling to act like
cheerleaders. Most students think of cheer-
leaders as that group which jumps screams
faints yells whistles and encourages the
crowds to do the same.
Our group is pretty good at all this dur
ing time outs and when the Pokes go over
100 but where are they the rest of the
time? Of course a student body that only
responds to "two-bits" and "we want two
points'" is little encouragement but even
student bodies can be taught.
We are all relieved to know Congress has
the Spirit Committee working on it.
One thing the1 Spirit Committee might
recommend: it would help the cheerlead-
ers the crowd and the team if at least
some of the Cowboy Band members would
stay through ithe game beating a drum or
two and blasting an occasional trumpet.
While they're at it the committee might
recomfriend to have the frosh iheering
team show up for all the freshmen home
games. That isn't asking too muck of an
elected yell squad.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Boise State game

Guest Editorial
Get your deferment here
Editor's noie: The follow-
ing editorial appeared in the
Southwest Texas State Uni-
versity student newspaper
"The University Star." In
light of a number of com-
parable letters to the
BRAND and Mrs. Madelyh
O'hair's recent move to es-
tablish such an organization
as described to avoid taxa-
tion we reprint this article.
There seems to be no end
these days to the ways peo-
ple seek to escape taxes
discounts in merchandise
and perhaps most widely
known the draft. Since few
of us are H. Ross Perot's
cutting expenses and getting
the most of our money is
common place.
However a letter recently
came to the Star offering a
tax free existence discounts
in travel and merchandise
and most importantly a 4-
D draft classification. Does
it seem like a joke? It is in
a morbid sense.
Their letter read "Univer-
sal Free Life Church will
ordain any man woman or
child just for the asking
and a free will donation.
Once you are a minister you
may request the church to
counsel you on your rights
under the Selective Service
Act showing you how to
proceed' in the obtainment
of a 4-D classification."
The letter went on to say- t
that the minister's creden-
tials and license were legal
in- all 50 states and would .
entitle the beholder to per-
form marriages funerals
baptisms or any- of the same
services performed by the
minister of any church. Al-
so upon request a charter
would be provided to en-
able one to start his own
church.

It appears that .the day of
draft demonstrations and
tax evasions is to be replac-
ed by the "Age of Ministers"
where anyone seeking to
avoid taxes and the draft be-
comes a preacher. This re-
sults in total-prostitution of
established religion and is
certainly a slam-in-the-face
to clergymen. If anyone can
become a minister for $20
then perhaps soon for $50
we can get mail order phy-
sician's or lawyer's creden-
tials or for $30 become es-
tablished teachers. All of
these! professions have ob-
ligations beyond those stat-
ed on paper credentials and
certainly require great de-
dication and understanding
which a $20 donation can-
not buy.
Religion is a freedom that
all of us can take part in ac-
cording to our choice of be-
lief. However it seems dis-
graceful to allow one of our
most cherished freedoms to
be made a' mockery of be-
cause of a group .who dis-
like the current legislation
on taxes or the Vietnam
war especially an organi-
zation that has no establish-
ed clerical doctrine or struc-
ture and calls itself a religion.

SANTA CLARA Calif. . . . Sensitivity training as
an aid or determent to the individual and his education
and occupational environment was evaluated recently
by speakers on the University of Santa Clara campus.
The conference "Encounter Groups: Hope or Hell"
was sponsored by the Center for the Study of Contem-
porary Values under the direction of Dr. Stuart McLean
assistant professor of theology at Santa Clara.
Dr. William Schultz of rthe Esalen Institute in Big
Sur keynote speaker defined Sensitivity Training as a '
"tool in a social revolution of openness and honesty. "The
result will be a new way of relating to self and others."
He traced the patterns of repressive behavior incul-
cated in the individual during childhood and the methods
the encounter groups employ to counteract this condition-
ing. In enumerating the guidelines used in the sensitiv-
ity "session" he said "participants are to be open honest
talk about the now and express when possible physic-
ally what could not" be expressed verbally."
