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
