ARBOR AUTHORS
Stranger in a strange land
When it comes to working out,
it seems that women are fans of
cardiovascular exercise while
men prefer lifting. So this means
weight rooms are loaded with
men. It's like a frat party before
11, except they're all wearing less
clothes and the smell is worse.
Despite this, I walked into the
weight room at the intramural
Sports Building the other day. As
expected, I was the only girl in a
sea of about50 males. But I wanted
to pump some iron too, soI stowed
my things in a locker, walked to
the corner, picked up a couple of
5-pound dumbells and began my
workout.
Now, it's a rule of nature that if
there is only one chick in a room
of guys, it doesn't matter if she is
hairy and smelly and chunky, she
is going to be ogled.
So I'm doing my workout -
pretty self-consciously because
I am surrounded by mirrors and
testosterone - when I get lobbed
in the headby a weightbench. Not

a shoulder or an individual weight,
but a whole weight bench.
Some buff, bald dude had
decided he needed more person-
al space to do bicep curls so he
threw the bench over his shoul-
der and unknowingly ripped me
in the head while moving it about
five feet from its initial location.
Most of the men who happened
to be staring and saw the accident
smirked in a way that seemed to
say "what a douchebag" - or just
laughed. But two actually came up
to me and said things like "Are you
OK?" "That looked like it hurt,"
"You're all red" and "Do you want
me to get some ice?"
I felt really bad because they
were trying to be nice, but all I
wanted to do was give them the
finger and fix my ponytail.
ASHLEA SURLES
Who's really in
charge in A2?.
A few weeks ago I was sitting
in my kitchen when my house-
mate brought some garbage
outside to the trash cans. A
moment later, a blood-curdling
scream filled the air, followed
by shrieks of "Oh my God, OH
MY GOD!"
I rushed to the door to see
what was amiss and discovered
she had been frightened by two
huge squirrels. Apparently they
had made a home in our trash
barrel.
. The other day as Itook a bag of
garbage, I lifted the lid and saw
one of the creatures. It looked at
me as if to say "It's raining, put the
damn lid back down!"
I calmly shook my head and
lowered the lid. I decided to put
my trash in the other bin.
