' TT alloween Anything is Possible On L Campus Fright Night I an! Remember your younger years? Im- patiently waiting for Halloween, the day finally arrived. You ran home from school, got dressed and made sure that you had a huge sack to collect as much as possible. Then, you and your buddies agreed on which houses gave the best treats and painstakingly planned the route. Hours later, you sifted through the loot. You were tired and your feet were sore, but you had enough candy to last a while. Now, a homeowner would prob- ably slam the door in the face of a six foot vampire demanding treats. College students must resort to differ- ent activities on the night of fright. Some A huddle together at apartments or dorm rooms and watch scary mov- ies. Spirited others dress up and attend one or more of the array of theme parties and dances available. LSAjunior Sue Miller said, I dressed up as a Rapper. It was fun because everyone dressed up. Jeremy Schwartz, LSA senior admitted, I went to a party where I didn ' t recog- nize my roommate because he was dressed as Bugs Bunny. Each year, the ROTC stages its Tri Now, a homeowner would probably slam the door in the face of a six foot vampire de- manding treats. Service Haunted House in the base- ment of North Hall. The basement used to be the site of a morg ue, a fitting location for the house of hor- rors ' aura. David Gilbert, Engineer- ing senior and officer in charge of the Haunted House this fall, explained that the expected $3000 in proceeds would be split between Safe House and Ozone House, both homes for battered women. Yugin Cummings, LSA Freshman, participated in the Haunted House dressed up as an elec- tric chair victim and cited two good reasons for doing it: It ' s for charity and I get to scare the hell out of my friends. For a more refined night experi- ence, some attend the annual Univer- sity Philharmonic Orchestra Hallow- een concert. This is the only night of the year the Orchestra dresses up in costumes and play instruments for an audience. Although the Orches- tra played a range of classical music, many found the costumes just, as if not more, entertaining. Roberta Drobot commented, the Madonna costume was absolutely by far the best.... especially the cones. Many opportunities on and off campus enable students to partici- pate in the spirit of Halloween. From dressing up to pumpkin carving, stu- dents may relive the olden days and, now that they are old enough, may even try something new. T Jennifer Aliotta Halloween 27
