Maybe it's the cheerleaders, who wouldn't be caught dead doing any sort of straight cheer. Harvard does not have a line of pretty coeds with pom-poms doing cute routines, but rather a casual bunch that stroll around on the sidelines giving an "H" and an "A", etc. now and then, but mostly clowning...
