=Things That Go Bump... hat do you do V when a e small crowd of odd- looking teenagers arrives at your door in the stealth of darkness? Pray that it’s Halloween. Although many students feel that they’re too old for trick-or-treating, many others don’t pass up the chance to have some ‘once-a-year’ fun, or to store up a supply of glu- cose for those long nights of studying. Clever stu- dents go trick-or-treating late at night when they'll get more canay. Not many people dress up in costume during Hal- loween day. You might see a witch hat, fake ears, a few masks, and some mu- tant yamulkas,(newly re- leased monster-beanies, ) but nothing to the extreme. Come dark, however, as the moon begins to glow, a dramatic change takes place in even the meekest of students. Cufe, little John-Boy from Computer class? He’s now a reptilian slime monster from the planet Aloha Nod. That un- assuming girl from Calculus? She’s a Fruit-of-the-Loom terrorist, sporting a killer ba- nana. Students have been seen as: french fries, Freud- ian theory, the Crest team, and Dr. Ruth. For most students, Hal- loween doesn't really begin until the weekend parties.

20 That’s Inedible! “What can time be measured in,’’ asks the Physics teacher, besides arbitrary units?” Well, time can be fami- liarly measured by com- parison he with the amount of Doritos consumed while doing homework, the shelf- life of ies Twinkies, or the number of rings on the in- side of that mug of gradu- ally evaporating coffee adhered to your desk. Many students eat enough food per day to Yai iw me - te tie?) Bi he ae = a ot? glut a pregnant water buf- falo. One waitress is report- ed to have consumed a “BLT and a bowl of salad during a 15 minute break.”’ “Pretty soon,’’ she says, “they‘re going to start giv- ing me my paychecks be- tween slices of bread.” Food often lends itself to Curious imagery. Egg Muffin — who’s he? And what about shaved steak — what do they do, go after the cow with a Bic dispos- able? “Come on, health food went out last week,” remark Heidy Ordoukanian and Audrey Poe. “The rest is mine,’’ snickers Karen Larson.
