w hen you ' re just a little buckaroo in the first decade of your life, it ' s a must to dress up and go trick-or-treating on Halloween. It ' s fun. you get lots of candy that lasts till Easter, and it gives you a sense of purpose. When you get older though, wearing costumes becomes very embarrassing, especially if you ' re caught by your friends. In college you are temporarily permitted to return to those youthful days. You can safely act stupid and childish because everyone does. Social acceptance is very confusing. Given the chance to do something different, students everywhere put their creative minds to work and originated costumes of the wildest imagination. There were the perennial draculas and ghosts, and then there were the elaborate tin mans, cleopatras, and bodies of shaving cream. There were even a few transvestites here and there. Gone are the days of the simple plastic masks and nylon body suits — the Caspers and the skeletons. In college the Vampires are a more common costume because of their easy construction and guaranteed sex appeal. sky is the limit. Lines of cocaine and bongs have become all-time favorites, and rock stars are always a tempting alternative. The UPB brought in the four-star, highly acclaimed Academy Award winning Daw n of the Dead for the ominous occasion. Students packed the theatre to watch a bunch of zombies get their brains blov n away in every possible way you can imagine. Though decorating and pumpkin carving was as flagrant as ever, trick-or-treating was a bit limited. Who has the money to buy a bag of cavity-inflicting candy for some scrounging college students? A si.x-pack was a much better investment. Still, the Halloween spirit was there. Students happily postponed their four-day Voting-Day vacation one more day, to hang around and let the youth and imagination in them surface over agin. Halloween hosts and hostesses provided parties aplenty as Mike Whetston indulges at a gala thrown by Alpha Gamma Delta. Carol Hunse and Karia Hannel get into the Halloween spirit by butchering a pumpkin. Playing Dress-Up Halloween 19
