HALLOWEEN Lenoir-Rhyne students celebrated Halloween in several different ways this year. Some attended the festivities held in the Center which were sponsored by Mauney-Schaffer Dorm. The activities included an ugly contest, a pumpkin carving contest, and the showing of the movies. Alien and Friday the 13th. Free popcorn and drinks were provided for all those in attendance. While the people in the Center were being scared by the Alien, other students were enjoying the Costume Parties sponsored by several Lenoir- Rhyne Fraternities. These parties featured contests for the best costumes, many of which were very creative and eye-catching. Whether at the Center or at the Costume Parties, Lenoir-Rhyne stu- dents seemed to have a spooky yet wonderfully funfilled Halloween night. 22 On Campus
