Spooks Get Stoned Out Mick Makes the Sun Shine Surprises made up most of our Halloween weekend. We were excited with all the characters displayed in the 1st Pumpkin Decorating Contest. Frankenstein and Mick Jagger were strong, but Cinderella ' s Coach at Midnight ran away with the winning trophy. The spirits of Halloween came out of the grave and into our presences during our Pearce pep rally. The cheerleaders were arrayed in monsterous and horrifying costumes. While they gave us a scare, the Troyanns gave us a laugh in their cute clown fashions. Our spirits were not raised enough to defeat Pearce, but many were ready for the big events — two concerts by the Rolling Stones. The Stones, on their last rumored U.S. Tour, added many surprises. Many were in a state of shock when the Stones asked everybody to wear their costumes to the concert. This was to be an unusual concert. The show was supposedly momentous. This was hard to understand with the opening act of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. ZZTop woke us up with some good ' ol Texas rock, but we didn ' t really rock until Mick -n- Co. came out on stage. As he started to get into the beat, the rain came pouring over the 80,000 people in attendence. The downpour continued through the show, but it didn ' t discourage the crowd from becoming ecstatic at the sights and sounds of Mick Jagger. Sunday ' s performance was just as spectacular without the rain, but we had an eerie feeling afterwards. It was as if when the Stones left, they took a large portion of our souls with them. Mick Jagger and the Rollwg Stones tantalize tho usands with rendi- tions of their past and present hits during their last U.S. Tour. JENNIFER SEEBOCK is apparently unaffected by the ancient in- habitants of the local haunted house, during all Hallow ' s eve.

The lengthy corridors of stand-up computer games made choosing one difficult. (R. Jones) Inserting Coins to Get Tokens Loses Time and Minds The price of our sanity reached an all time high as we raced to the nearest pinball arcade like Tilt, or Castle Gaines. For a mere quarter (sometimes two) we were flung into our inner fantasies. Whether we wished to bring peace to our section of the universe, safely crossing a road and stream, or just ringing up points on a pinball machine, we somehow relieved our frustrations of family, work, and school. The reflection of an arcade during school hours shozvs the influence of the games. (R. Jones) m Vaw h rnQj Tilt 15
