STUDENT STEREOTYPES . . There ' s One in Every Crowd! Although everyone has his own individual style, students tend to fall into certain groups or get classified as stereotypes. The POTPOURRI feels that the best way to look at stereotypes is to sit back and laugh at them. On these two pages, the POTPOURRI displays some typical NSU stereotypes that just may fit your particular college lifestyle. Which one are you? Freddie and Fran Freshman With a sparkling Walt Whitman High senior ring on one hand and a sack of moms homemade peanut butter cookies clutched in the other, Freddie and Fran encounter the freshman shock — that wonderful taste of freedom that go- ing away to college brings. There is the race to the bookstore to buy every Northwestern item in sight and proudly display them to the old high school crowd during their weekly hometown visits. l T- RAZORBACK Betsy Blimp As a freshman away from home, Betsy discovers the thrills of dorm life such as the midnight smorgasbords of popcorn, pretzels, potato chips, chocolate chip cookies, cokes, and those ever popular vending machines. The result is Betsy Blimp ' s chunky round figure. When she realizes she ' s spend- ing too many weekends watching television and getting tired of wearing her overalls every day, she hurriedly signs up for three aerobic dance classes and chokes down meals of cot- tage cheese and carrots. Inez Involved To be classified as an Inez Involved, a girl must put her schoolwork aside and devote her spare time to campus ac- tivities. Minimum requirements call for membership in the SGA, BSU, Marching Band. Union committees, Outings Club and KNWD. Her ultimate goal is Purple Jackets and she manages to graduate in no less than five years.

: V Susie Sorority In order to become a Susie Sorority at NSU the freshman girl must survive a grueling week of cookies, punch and smiling faces called rush. As a pledge, she must go out with at least one fraternity man a week and master the sorority stride holding her nose at a 45 degree angle. Upon her initia- tion she is given the glory of wearing a sparkling symbol of her sorority over her heart and has 35 girls to call her sisters. Frank Frat Any aspiring young college man can qualify to be a Frank Frat providing he has a strong line of B.S. and an infinite love for beer drinking. Immediately following his pledgeship. the frat man drops down to ten hours and changes his major to business. Each day he joins his brothers for the campus cruise with beer in hand and scopes out the blossoming young freshman girls. W,Pr V jJ, Calvin B. Coolidge Spending his first few days searching out the brothers and sisters in the dorms, Calvin quickly learns the ropes of NSU and wonders why he didn ' t go to Grambling. With his first love being soul food and T.J. Swann, he also enjoys hanging out in front of Iberville or Sabine. Usually majoring in political science or sociology, Calvin drops out a semester or two, and sometimes makes it big. PI Willie Weed Willie Weed is known most typically as a bearded blur whizzing past NSU pedestrians on his ten-speed bicycle. He is often found lurking around Bossier Street and possesses only a backpack, two pair of patched jeans, a flannel shirt, and a $1,000 stereo system. Often an art or English major. Willie Weed is seen floating down the halls with h open and has a certain air ' ' about him.
