More then just trick or treating 'ttytUCoweett s I walked down the dark and dreary alley to the basement of Heth, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I reached for the door and was immediately asked for my ticket by some gentlemen dressed up as Sig Eps Little did I know they would be the last friendly faces I would see that night. Before I could get five feet in the door. I saw the two scariest faces in my life — George Bush and Michael Dukakis I was ready to turn back, but with the help of my friends I realized it was just my imagination. What would those two be doing at the Halloween Bash in Radford? asked my roommate Oh well, by then I had already been distracted when the Crest Team flew passed me. obviously on their way to kill some cavity creeps. As I walked up the stairs I felt as though I was entering the Reggae Zone; much to my surprise I actually was. thanks CAMPUS A to AAE — a reggae band AAE entertained the crowd with their smooth rhythmic sounds that makes reggae music so unique After dancing for awhile my feet were becoming numb. My friend was feeling the same way Let’s go upstairs and listen to the disc jockey while we rest. he said As we walked up to the second floor I ran into 25 witches. 4 unidentified objects. Elvira, the mistress of the dark, three blind mice and the MacDonald Moon man with his wife by his side. Strange group. It didn’t take long for me to recover from all the excitement. As we made our way downstairs I was amazed to see more friendly faces, this time gentlemen dressed up as Sigma Nu's. It was a shame that it was time for this little devil to head home for the night. Wow! All that fun and I didn't have to go trick or treating! by Mo Hynws 30 Campus Life
