X X Trick or Treat Halloween on the Hill Although Holy Cross stu- dents have been criticized for being conservative, Halloween festivities on and off-campus in late October proved that undergrads are as diverse as the imaginative costumes that they created to wear. Early evening events on College Hill included a storyteller in the Hogan Ballroom, a one-man presentation of spine-tingling Gothic horror stories and free munchies that set an appro- priately spirited tone to Hal- loween night. Apartments from Caro to Cambridge Streets were visited by con- spicuously grown-up trick-or- treaters, as students cele- brated the weekend in typical Holy Cross style. A costume ball back in the Ballroom drew hundreds of decked-out dancers who rocked all night to tunes spun by everyone's favorite DJ, Scrap Jackson. Outstanding costumes of the evening included Batman, Robin, and the Joker, and the motley crew of the Starship Enterprise. Colorblind misfits, Dead Heads, Gypsies, the Cali- fornia Raisins, and the tradi- tional assortment of clowns and white-sheeted spooks rounded out the crowd. Party- ing continued well into the witching hours as students disappeared down Linden Lane to haunt the byways of College Hill.

Low attendance mars Women's Week Whall, Murray highlight the events Women's Week '88's atten- dance turned out to be a disap- pointing example of what could have been called Wom- en's Year '88 at Holy Cross. Some of the most important and visible organizations on campus were led by women. The Crusader fMaureen Moran '89j, Students For Life CMary Beth Farrell '89j, Wom- en's Forum fElizabeth Trippi '89j, the Student Government Association QKristen Briotte '88j, and even the prestigious Purple Patcher Clook at the back of this bookj were all ex- amples to the fact that women have increased their sphere of influence on this male-domi- nated campus. But judging from atten- dance records at the various events, one would never un- derstand those inroads. Dr. Helen Whall, associate professor of English, drew the biggest crowd during a Facul- ty-Associate lunch in the Piz- za Pub. Whall spoke about the need for sex inclusive lan- guage, which she called noth- ing else than an act of cour- tesy. She also cited that more attention must be paid to sex inclusive language in the face of traditional modes of communication. The Women's Forum and Pax Christie co-sponsored a video and discussion session which was attended by 25 male and female students. The meeting centered around the women's role in the peace movement. The video presen- tation It's Up To The Wom- en, featuring scenes from the 1984 Women's National Con- ference to Prevent Nuclear War. Dr. Mimi Murray, a sports psychologist and president of the National Association of Girls and Women in Sports, spoke to an audience of six fincluding a Purple Patcher photographerj about the prob- lems of stereotyping in wom- en's athletics. If these Women's Week events had been as well at- tended as Holy Cross organiza- tions are well represented by women, then and only then could Women's Week '88 be called a success. But the inter- est in women's issues on cam- pus should not be judged by the lack of attendance at these activities but rather by the great and ever greater achievements of Holy Cross women.
