The hotspot of Vandy, the Rebs got it and they flaunt it Who said location isn't ev- erything? Certainly not the Rebels of CS 11. This cadet squadron is unique because it is “smack dab in the middle of it all. “We are always getting watched, C4C Julio Rodriguez said, but scrutiny is a small price to pay for the convenience of the C-store, the barber shop, the mailroom. the ski shop, and the laundromat. U-Haul has no hope with this squadron because, af- ter being in the hotspot of Vandenberg Hall, noone is pack- ing bags to move. Convenience is a big key, especially for freshmen. “You talk to people in Sijan Hall and going to the C-store is a major event, C4C Ryan Boyle said. Life is easy for the Rebs, at least in terms of biped transporta- tion. When their feet do the walk- ing, they only have to take a couple of steps. But despile the benefits, the prime location does have its drawbacks. “There is no excuse for bad hair—being so close to the barber,” C4C Geoff Hindmarsh said. Also, CS-11 is Headquarters SAMI,” said Boyle. Apparently many officer and cadet eyes are watching the performance of CS-1 I during the famous Saturday Morning In- spections. “Group and Wing staff spend the whole hour up here, C4C Ben Ba umgartner said. “Group staff comes up here to inspect, and then they are done,” added Hindmarsh. And, being so close to both Wing and Group Staff, names and faces are im- portant to know. Is it a IKtle added pressure? You bet. This location is not bad for the upperclassmen either. “The) love it,” C4C Gage Anderson said It's the movies. “All the tifltf movies,” Baumgartner said They even have an ideal spotfo parking, but that doesn't stop them from letting freshmenpad their cars In return, “the fresh men get the use of the car in th; future—some unspecified tim in the future,” Baumgartner said. All in all, CS-ll may no. have the sunny beaches o Florida or the action of Califor nia, but it does have digs on d best spot in Vandy, By Celeste Col'11 Stephen A. Graham Jr Kevin M.

Enjoying some quiet time out on the veranda Most squadrons have a long hallway and part of a short hall- way, in the cadet dormitories, to house its members. The short hallways are usually shared by several squadrons. This is the case with Dirty Dozen, except their portion of the short hall- way is called the porch. Like any other porch, occasionally it is used for idle conversation and relaxation while people enjoy each other's company. C4C Elizabeth Ferrill ex- plained: Only people who live near the porch go out on the porch, since it is just right out the front door of their rooms n' all. Members of the porch clan gather occasionally to express themselves in all but usual ways. Methods of expression include chewing tobacco, telling offcolor jokes, gossiping about others and occasionally we even scratch ourselves, C3C Jon Shumate explained. Although she never at- tends C2C Toni Reid shared: The porch is fun for those who make fun. Jon Shumate added: Usual (popular] topics include members of the squadron who are getting married, stupid Wing policy, and fat people in gen- eral. This backwoods type of entertainment is actually good psychotherapy for all the politi- cal pressures Dozen members undergo. All the push for human relations training and political correctness is what promote the drive to be a little different Jon Shumate explained: It jus: feels good to burp and scratch yourself once in a while. Mem bers who don't participate seen to agree. Toni Reid complied: I don’t think I want to be there since they scratch themselves.l can w atch A1 Bundy on tv to sc that. It's not offensive to thos: who don't participate, because they don't get out of hand She concluded: It's good for a change; chillin' is a good thing: By Michael Brew Linell A. Bartholic Matthew K.
