People in the news Song Girls don't think they're sexy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Although millions of people who saw them perform might disagree, Julie Havek says she and the six other members of the UCLA Song Girls don't think they are being sexy. Aside from basketball, the Song Girls have been the most popular form of entertainment at the NCAA finals in Market Square Arena Their kicking, strutting and shaking kept fans in the arena glued to their seats at halftime and probably had folks at home sticking by the television instead of running to the refrigerator. "1 watched the girls dance and I don’t think they’re trying to be sexy,” said Havek, 19, a sophomore from LaCanada, Calif. “I think we re trying to be wholesome." The Song Girls wear regular cheerleading uniforms while the game is being played. But at halftime, the uniforms are discarded in favor of Rruin Blue shorts and gold, V-necked 1 ‘ leotard tops. They have 15 routines to choose from, plus "a couple of ■ others that we made up.” Havek said. The competition to become a Song Girl is stiff The seven were chosen from 150 who tried out and next month, tryouts begin for next year’s squad Havek. who turned down an offer to pose in Playboy magazine, said she enjoys the Song Girl activities, but added her main interests are her dental studies and modeling. She carries a B-plus grade average in pre-dentistry. “I had braces when I was younger and I really liked my orthodonist, so I decided to be an orthodonist,” she added, flashing a bright smile that would make any dentist happy. Havek admitted the Song Girl outfits might be "kind of revealing," but added they weren’t the first choice of the • squad. “We didn't get our first choice because the university didn’t have enough money.” she said. “We had the shorts from summer football and about $lB left, so we bought the - tops. “We tried them out at a game and people seemed to like it. so we tried them at another game. They seemed to go over, so we kept them.” About that request from Playboy, Havek said it was -. made before she became a Song Girl. ■; “If I wanted to go into modeling as a career. I didn’t - ‘ think it would be good.” she said. "After I became a Song ■I Girl. I knew I wouldn’t have been able to do it.” • •; Sen. William Proxmire apologized in the Senate Monday >; to a research scientist who had sued the Wisconsin m Democrat for libel after he was named in one of Prox- ; mire’s Golden Fleece Awards. * As part of an out-of-court settlement to the scientist. Dr. Ronald R. Hutchinson, who had taken his $8 million case to the United States Supreme Court. Proxmire must pay . SIO,OOO of his own money, plus court costs of $5,132. which ; will be paid by the Senate, according to Proxmire’s administrative assistant, Howard Shuman. The awards are announced monthly by Proxmire for ; what he considers the most ridiculous wastes of taxpayers’ money. He presented it to Hutchinson in 1975 for a $500,000 ; study on aggression in monkeys, saying the.scientist ' "made a fortune from his monkeys.” ; Monday he said he wished to “clarify” some of his ■.' statements on the research. Although the amount of the - federal expenditure was large, he said, “the fact is that Dr. ■I Hutchinson did not make a personal fortune.” He added that the research had been defended as meritorious by a ■ . number of people. A Senate Rules Committee aide said Proxmire’s legal defense cost the taxpayers $124,351. • NEW YORK (AP) Teenage fans and old folks alike - gathered to gape and gasp at what they thought was actor Sylvester Stallone dangling above the East River. But it ! • was a stuntman there. * Stallone, who starred in the hit movie “Rocky.” is a fit- , ness buff but too valuable a property to risk dangerous > scenes. So it was stuntman Tony Maffatone a dead * ringer for the star who climbed a cable to the Roosevelt '. • Island aerial tram from a tugboat on the river below. 1; Shooting of the film “Hawks” got underway Monday . despite the protests of island residents angered at having * their shortest link with Manhattan taken away for use as a (*• movie set.

Supermarket Shopper

Uniform proofs of purchase?

By MARTIN SLOANE r Dear Supermarket Shopper -- Why don’t aJEmanufaeturers adopt a similar proof of purchase 9 Then we shoppers wouldn’t have to go to all the inconvenience of serving hundreds of squashed boxes, packages and bags. * J have a large house with plenty of room, but it is still a messy job. I pit the shoppers who must keep their proofs in an apartment or mobile home. -- Mary S,, Bavport, NX * Pear Mary -- Manufacturers use different proofs of purchase for several nelsons. Some stay with a proof they have traditionally asked for, such as a box top. * A net-weight statement may be required because the refund offer is limited to a product of a specific size. •Some manufacturers want you to be aware of how nutritious their product is, so they ask you to cut out the nutritioninformation panel * OTHERS WANT YOU to remember their trademark, so they ask you to cut out the picture of the baby from Charmin or the lumberjack from Brawny. * This hodgepodge of required proofs isn’t likely to change soon, although some manufacturers have recognized the confusion that often results. Shoppers cut out fit* "!»redient statement instead of the dutrition information panel, for example. Or they send t he wrong end-flap.

O' SULLIVAN, WEISSMULLER And now, Bo Derek? Metro-Goldwyn-Maver is planning a now version of the 1932 film classic “Tarzan the Ape Man” That film, w'hich spawned a dozen sequels, featured Johnny Weissmuller, fresh from Olympic triumph, as the ape man. Maureen O’Sullivan was jane. The 1980’s version will feature the girl American men have gone ape over. Bo Derek, as Jane Tarzan’s part has not been cast vet. but it’s a cinch it won’t be Mark Spitz, the Weissmuller of the 1970’5. MGM, incidentally, has agreed to use Bo’s husband. John Derek, as produeter-director on the project • Although it has been a while since she has danced in Hollywood films like “Singin’ in the Rain.” “Silk Stockings” and “The Band Wagon” in the 19505, Cyd Charisse says she is “still in very good shape.” The Public Broadcasting System’s affiliate in Dallas and Fort Worth must have thought so because it selected her to be the host of its weekly health and fitness program called "Here’s to Your Health,” a 13-week series that will be seen on WNETTV 13, in New York, beginning April 19. Nonetheless, Miss Charisse, 57, a native of Amarillo. Tex., won’t be imparting her own health regimen (“Eat a big breakfast, no lunch, and a good dinner lots of fresh vegetables ") “I’ll be the host for a lot of different doctors,” she said Monday. • NEW YORK (AP) Sixty angry teen-agers who said they had been promised cash and movie roles for showing their support for a new film called “Fort Apache” had to be held back by police as they chased the film’s publicist out of a Manhattan courthouse. The incident came Monday as residents of the South Bronx went to court to stop the,.movie, which stars Paul Newman as a police officer in the crime-ridden neighborhood. The residents contend the film portrays blacks and Hispanics as “savages and degenerates.” The film’s producers denied they offered teen-agers movie roles and sls each to demonstrate in favor of the film. • SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Tamara Parsons nearly lost the Utah beauty pageant by a wink. Or you could say she almost sealed her own fate. The Brigham Young University coed discovered a broken earring shortly before the evening gown competition. She tried to repair it with glue. “I got some glue on mv finger, touched my eyelid accidentally and when I blinked, my eve stuck closed,” she said. It was several frantic moments before Miss Parsons was able to pull her eye open to complete competition and win the Miss Utah-U.S.A. crown. • HOLLYWOOD (AP) -Angie Dickinson, who always got her man as TV’s “Police Woman.” has joined the cast of “Death Hunt.” the film story of the greatest manhunt in the history of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
