Among the more exciting aspects of a football Saturday or a pep rally, we find the cheerleaders and the pom-pon girls. Both add color and interest to every game, from the dullest through the hype of the Ohio State game. The men ' s football cheerleaders, cho- sen primarily from the gymnastic and diving teams are nationally known for their acrobatics and daredevil mounts. We know their other side too; the side that does conehead imitations to the band ' s Bullwinkle and of course the posting. A lot of time is spent choreo- graphing new routines and the squad must stay adaptable enough to account for illnesses and absences. The men on this year ' s squad are cap- tains Bob Seymour and Doug Ilgenfritz, Kevin Walgreen, Mike Birndorf, Cory Litzaa, Jim Munn, Jeff Sloan, Rod Stab- lein, Brad Harrison, Steve Ricca, Bob Stoick, and Bob Strach. The 1982 pom- pon squad members are Jill Adcock, Cin- dy Bihun, Kim Eaton, Linda Fowler, Pam Frederick, Lilly Handler, Sheryl Koepke, Lynn Kubik, Kathie O ' Shea, Lisa Smith, Leslie Kellerman, and Mary Valenti. The pom-pon girls also spend a great deal of time practicing everything from side-line chants to the half-time routine with the band. For once, let ' s give the cheerleaders a rousing chorus of Let ' s Go Blue. ' M by Suzanne Rollins Cheerleaders 2 l

As South Quadrangle director Mary Antieau suggests, Gossip perpet- uates the stereotypes and aftei a while people hear things often enough that they start believing them. Some of the labels students give the dorms are more cpmmon than others. East Quad is thought of as a haven for 60 ' s radical political activists. South Quad is known as a jock dorm. Cou- zens is known as a party dorm. Mosher Jordan is thought to be an exclusive country club, and the list goes on and on. But how much truth is there to these stereotypes? If any, do they do anyone any good? Usually the stereotypes work against the student living in a residence hall. When new students meet for the first time the question where do you live? inevitably comes up. The minute the student replies, the dorm ' s reputa-
