2A - Tuesday, January 16, 2007 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com 0 MONDAY: TUESDAY:WEDNESDAY: The Extremist Arbor Anecdote Before You Were Here THURSDAY: Campus Characters FRIDAY: Explained 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.

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.
