Unknown Filled with creativity Athens ' celebration Every year around the end of October, Athens experiences an invasion. The in- vaders of Ohio University and Athens wear a wide assortment of disguises, come in a variety of shapes, sizes and ages and take over Court Street for a night. This annual event has come under many titles: The Court Street take-over, the Mardi Gras of the Midwest, and All Hallow ' s Eve, just to name a few. However, by far the most popular name though, is Halloween. Halloween has its roots in ancient celebration of All Hallow ' s Eve. Pagans used this day to placate restless spirits and protect themselves from the evil ones for another year. Athen ' s Halloween party only vaguely resembles the ancient tradi- „ tion. The costumed participants are con- J cerned with having fun and only alcoholic % spirits are thought of. , „ „ ,„ % r (Continued on P. 10) All kinds of creatures come out at night. The Halloween celebration took place Saturday, October 26. 8 — Campus Life

Waite Buckley shows you what mother warned you about. Guys like this will do anything to get your attention. Filled with creativity Athens ' celebration (Continued from P.8) On Satuday, October 26th, twelve thousand people flocked to Athens from Ohio and other states. They came from as close as West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Connecticut, and as far away as Florida and California. Most of these people donned costumes and gathered on Court Street between 9p.m. and 2a.m. Some costumes were elaborate and some simple. A six-pack of Heineken walked the streets along with several of Billy Milligan ' s personalities and a few Ronald Reagans. The costumes and the blocking off of Court Street was all in a harmless night of fun for most people. Only 102 people were arrested that night which is not even one percent of the people who attended the affair. Ohio University officials and Mayor Ed Beckett considered that to be too many and opposed the annual celebration. George Weckman, an O.U. professor of philosophy, told the Post, Students are technically breaking laws, the officials are supplying the danger to support the tradi- tion. So the tradition remains. tini A couple of nerds cruise the streets of Athens and check out the sights. 10 — Campus Life
