“If I ever see them again, I’ll mash their heads in!” replied Greg Miles on a typi- cal Halloween night at Mississippi Col- lege. Miles, who had just discovered that his car had been egged, also found that there was other mischief going on at MC. At that same time Tammy Dugan’s car was being carefully stuffed with news- paper while Sherry May’s car was thoroughly rolled. Toilet paper was also being artistically put to use in yet another unorthodox way as the quad received the customary rolling. The clock on top of Nelson Hall myste- riously turned to a firey red. Many be- lieved that perhaps it was the ghost of Nelson. Nearly as strange as this ghostly event, were the many eerie characters seen roaming the MC campus, and the equally strange events which tran- spired as they congregated. Some ven- tured into the second floor Latimer Webb kissing room and quickly exited not quite sure who or what they had been kissed by. Some, not so brave, donned unusual garb and wandered the girls’ dorms trick-or-treating, and feasting on seasonal goodies. Still oth- ers gave of themselves and experi- enced a rewarding and entertaining evening escorting the CCCC kids on their Halloween rounds. Halloween 1979 was a night of diverse experiences. In each case it was a night of sharing; whether selves, treats, or toilet paper, it was a night to remember. ’ (V-v. mMmm Welcome to Latimer-Webb; we’ll “treat” you right. Clark Stewart, Jimmy Prudhomme, and Gregg Thomas show off their new togas to Gunter resi- dents after returning from a visit with Greek pro- fessor, Dr. Green. 30

Kay Cassibry hard at work giving Dr. McMillan the super deluxe 25c massage. SBA CARNIVAL Orientation for the freshman served to introduce these young arrivals to the already old traditions awaiting them here at MC. The SBA carnival is spon- sored by the student body officers and the purpose is twofold. It is a carnival that relies on participation of all clubs on campus and is a unique way of presenting the organizations on cam- pus to the freshmen. Each club sets up a booth of food or games and even bi- zarre booths such as Mortar Board’s massage parlor sneak into the gala event. Carmel apples sold by cheerleaders, orange drinks served by the Home Ec Club, and the music from KT’s cake- walk all added the special touch of a carnival atmosphere to the patio that Thursday evening. The two show stealers seemed to oe resting upon the two men’s service clubs on campus. Civitans hosted an egg throw to allow fellow classmates to taxe out their frus- trations as they hurled dozens of eggs at the innocent, yet yellow, faces of Civitan members. A sight to behold, but not smell! Circle K brought out a dunking booth that would not fail to be a success. Rumor has it that business tripled when Vice-President of Student Affairs, Dr. Van D. Quick, was perched over the water on the dunking seat. Not only did the carnival prove to be successful in getting new students ac- quainted with societies and clubs on campus, but the fact that each club that participated gained a profit from their booths’ activities makes the money making purpose of the carnival always a big hit!
