The UNC Cardboard Club was started in 1948 by UNC cheerleader Norman Sper. The club
coordinated and produced displays at UNC football games, using colored cardboard squares
to form words and images in the stands. The club was funded by the Carolina Athletic
Association. It was discontinued in 1987, in part due to safety concerns--students
often sent their cardboard panels flying towards the field at the end of games, hitting
fellow spectators.
