Two others were treated at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The elevator doors refused to open after the pack of 14- to 17-year-olds descended from the fourth to the first floor, police said. Responding to a few panicked cell phone calls from the group, police and firefighters summoned an elevator repairman, who spent about 25 minutes extricating them.<\/p>\n<p>Campus officials weren&#8217;t amused.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s dangerous, actually,&#8221; said a school police spokeswoman, Rhonda Weldon. &#8220;They&#8217;re lucky that that&#8217;s all that happened.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, to be fair, 26 cheerleaders probably weight a lot less than say, ten astronomers.
