Milton:Do wnto wn viable

The diversity of downtown
Athens and its proximity to the
University have made it one of the
most successful downtown areas in
the state, said the new president of
the Downtown Council
Tom Milton, who is also the
owner of Etcetera, said Athens
was different from most other
cities in Georgia because its
downtown area is growing
‘It s one of the few downtowns
that's economically viable in
Georgia," Milton said
Milton said the 25,000 students at
the University contributed to
dow ntown's success
"If it was a separate city, it
would probably rank as about the
12th largest city in Georgia," he
said
Milton said although not all
downtown businesses rely or.
student business, a majority of
them do.
"We're more dependent on
students than any other city in
Georgia might be, so we revolve
around the calendar," he said.
The Downtown Council serves as
a promotional arm of downtown,
and helps advertise the area as a
place to do more than just shop
Joe Burnett, executive director
of the Athens Downtown
Development Authority, said his
organization works with the
Downtown Council to bring people
downtown.
The two groups promote ac
tivities such as last week’s
Springfest and April's contest to
pick the favorite downtown
merchant
Milton said downtown mer
chants have different reasons for
being in business than mall
merchants
"The beauty of downtown is the
wide diversity of businesses and
shoppers," he said. “A mall has no
choice but to go to the beat of a
drummer "
Milton said the council serves as
a voice for the merchants,
property owners and professional
people in the downtown area
"The aim is to do anything to
promote and enhance downtown."
Milton said
Burnett said the Downtown
Council was forced to implement
plans made by the Downtown
Development Authority
“A study made by the Athens-
Clarke County Planning Com
mission in 1973 showed there was
no organization to carry out plans
for downtown," Burnett said.
Burnett said the Council was
formed as an arm of the Chamber
of Commerce, but became a
private non-profit corporation in
1979
Milton said area businesses
benefit from the Development
Authority’s issuance of low in
terest loans because the area has
been revitalized from the money
available
New cheerleaders to put in hard work and long hours
By PAUL VICTOR WEISS
Rnl and Black Sun Wrtlar
In addition to the annual
spring tryouts for the foot
ball team, the University
recently held tryouts for a
lesser known sport —
cheer leading
Twenty-four University
students were chosen at the
April 27 G-Day activities to
represent the University on
the sidelines as members of
the varsity and junior var
sity cheerleader squads
"Cheerleaders are very
special, because they par
ticipate in the rigors of
cheerleading without the
hope of fiancial aid and glory
that other sports provide,”
said cheerleading coach
Castronis Sr i
"Varsity cheerleading
practices more than the foot
ball team, does public rela
tions work, travels to all var
sity games, and is a con
tinual NCAA top 20 squad,
but gets less notice than any
other sport," Castronis said
A cheerleader's duties in
clude 15 hours of practice a
week, two summer training
camps and reporting todays
earlier than other students,
Castronis said
Squad member Danny
Cleapor said, "Cheerleading
is a sport which provides the
‘Coach Castronis pushes us to do our best and so we
work hard to achieve all we can’
— Jill Alexander, varsity cheerleader
team with a great sense of
fellowship People become
involved with the team
because they are extroverts
interested in gymnastiac
performing which provides
thrill and excitement ”
Cheerleaders put in the
hard work because they are
interested in keeping in
shape, without their efforts
becoming the daily grind of
working alone, Cleapor said.
"Even though
cheerleading is fun and ex
citing it does have the pit-
falls of injuries,” Cleapor
said. “Most of the injuries
are minor sprains, bruises
and nagging muscle
fatigue."
Castronis said safety is the
biggest concern. "In all
practices either myself or
trainer Brad Lowery are
present, and we always
make sure that every prac
ticed move has at least two
people spotting," he said
Team member Jill Alex
ander said the female
members of the squad
choreograph the routines
and have to follow certain
guidelines to provide for
safety while giving the
routine some excitement.
"Coach Castronis pushes
us to do our best and so we
work hard to achieve all we
can," Alexandersaid.
Cleapor said he finds
cheerleading acceptable for
men, and he only confronts
stereotypes when he judges
high school cheerleading
events or teaches
cheerleading ramps for high
school students
"At the university level I
have never confronted
anyone who finds male
cheerleaders unusual,”
Cleapor said
The varsity squad
members for 1985 are Jill
Alexander, Marty Argo,
Scott Bowen, Tina Callaway,
Rich Clay, Danny Cleapor,
Lisa Harbour, Gregory Irv
ing, Missy Mathis, Alan
Ross. Natasha Tretheway,
Steve Ward and Karen
Willis. Alternate is David
Beasley
The year’s junior varsity
squad includes Todd Bitzer,
Joanne Bracegirdle, Scott
Correale, Chamine Harvey,
Neal Levy, Rick Roper,
Karen Start! and Tammie
Whitsel This squad’s alter
nates are Christina Barrow
and Sean SheDDard
