An eerie spectacle... Halloween Halloween 2004 gave a new vibrancy to Oregon State University’s traditional colors of orange and black. From block to block the entire Corvallis campus was littered with the ceric spirit of All Hallows Eve. Everyone discovered a different way to celebrate the night. In residence halls many coeds positioned spooky decorations throughout their halls, while others attempted to be ten again, all dressed up and ready to trick-or-treat. 26 Fall Term Those too old to go out and hunt for candy found another excuse to get gussied up: Halloween parties. Heaven and Hell appeared on earth the night before Halloween for Chi Phi, Sigma Chi, and Sigma Phis gathering. The extremely popular party not only featured a basement transformed into hell and a dance floor transformed into heaven, but a large entrance line. Meanwhile, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Phi Epsilon's shindig was a huge success. Freshman Jodie Hee explains her thoughts on her first frat party, everyone there was very scandalously festive. Costumes ranged from princesses to fairies to gangsters, even Scooby Doo made an appearance, each and every individual attempting to be the most original. Another popular Halloween hang out was the FIJI Haunted House, which was a total success, said Melissa Killian. Sigma Kappa had so much fun helping put it on. We hope to carry on the success next year. Crowds of customers enjoyed the scary ghouls and the creative rooms featured in the house, and most left raving about how immensely frightening the spectacle was. Whether trick-or-treating, getting down on the dance floor, or getting a tour through a house straight from hell, Beavers gave new meaning to Halloween, in the meantime making scores of memories.

Get out of the library and drop your books, there's four full hours of music during Rocktober The end of October marked the start of midterm season for students at OSU. lor some, that meant one thing—it was time to ROCK! The Sweater Club, Runaway Came. Winfield and Embcrghost all performed at the fill concert. Groups from all over campus, including MUPC and Student Involvement, banded together to put on the concert. It was intended to replace the annual I leckart Street Dance, which did not take place because of renovations on Heckari Lodge. With the participation of many more organizations, the concert evolved to include a speech from MUPC president Jarvez Mall, a free barbecue, and presentations from OSU's multicultural groups. The concert also moved the annual festivities from the west end of campus to the east end. A stage and food were set up on the lawn near Callahan and McNary. Despite the chance of rain, plenty of students turned out to rock away the stress of midterms. After such a successful show, organizers hope that it will continue as an annual concert.
