What do you call five blondes in a freezer. ? FROSTED T HIS is a confession from a natural blonde. I went through life knowing that some bru¬ nettes got upset with all the hoopla that surrounded blondes. I guess brunettes and red heads had every right be to jealous — since blondes really do have more fun. And to make matters worse for the jealous brunettes, the most beauti¬ ful models in the world are blondes. And, if my theory isn’t true, why do some brunettes bleach their hair blond? And, just when was the last time a blond died her hair brown? Well, turnabout is fair play, and across the country it’s been open season on blondes. It seems that almost every brunette I talk to starts spouting blonde jokes, and even though this blonde has a sense of humor, many of the jokes are offensive. Although I have never considered myself to be a total airhead, (although my friends may have a different opinion), these jokes portray us as stupid airheads. I find it ironic that the only way jealous brunette can get revenge on blondes is by giving us more atten¬ tion. By now the jokes just bounce off me. “Blonde jokes are as dumb as the brunette who tells them,” I retort. Here are a few of my all- time favorites. What do you call an intelligent blonde? A golden retriever What is the difference between a smart blonde and bigfoot? There have been sightings of bigfoot What do you call a brunette standing be¬ tween two blondes? An interpreter Why do blondes wear shoulder pads? So they won’t hurt them¬ selves when they say, “I don’t know.” What do you see when you look deep into a blondes eyes? The back of her head How can you tell if a blonde has been using the computer? By the white-out on the screen How do you get a one- armed blonde out of a tree? Wave Naturally Blonde Asked all the time if she bleaches her hair, junior Kim Tracey said she often gets fed up with the questions and the blonde jokes. “Usually I just try to blow them off, hut there are times when I am in a bad mood and I get offended. I have never thought of myself as a dumb blonde, and I hate the stereotype,” she said. M. ROBERTS PHOTO Flakes M.

Proof of Age. Senior Debra Baskin gets carded while trying to buy a six-pack of beer. Since the legal drinking age is 21, many students were forced to use fake identification if they wanted to drink beer. B. EBBRECHT PHOTO ILLUSTRATION Beer Run. Students who used fake-IDs often used the drive through window at liquor stores becasue it was not as risky as going into the store. Users admitted that it was easier to get into a bar than to actually buy alcohol at a package store. M. BOLES PHOTO On Guard.
