HALLOWEEN The True Self Comes Out On All Hallows Eve There comes a time when each and every one of us have the opportunity to live out our innermost fantasies and create the most outrageous costumes we can possibly invent. R1T students were out on the prowl the Friday before Halloween at the Off Campus Student Association Halloween party at Racquet Club clubhouse. Halloween parties were plentiful during Halloween weekend both on campus and off campus. The hot spot this year was at the Genesee Inn where the Roaches Rugby Club held their Halloween bash. Everyone was welcome and costumes were shown off by many. Some of the more creative get-ups consisted of a subway wall. Gumby, and the seven dwarves. There were various contests to participate in, including the sexiest, the best, the worst, and the dumbest costumes. Halloween may come around only once a year, but many enthusiasts celebrated throughout the entire week. As Pew Richard once said, “Give a man drink and he will be wiser. Needless to say. many philosophies on the meaning of life were developed through the various mind stimulants used that week. AlxJncw LOW Andrew Lew tew 30

WET PAINT An invasion look place on one cool sunny Saturday in October. Over one hundred and forty students, faculty and staff descended upon the Seneca Park Zoo clad in work clothes and armed with brushes and buckets of paint. Their mission: to defeat the dreary park pool and transform it into a masterpiece of art. The battle plan was supplied by Julie Borden, a third year painting student, who designed a mural to adorn the Olympic-sized pool walls, Ms. Borden took the movement of the pool water into consideration when she designed the undersea world of aquatic animals and plant life. The operation was approved and directed by The Office of Community Services, and was one of the many community service projects in which R1T students can take part . In addition to painting the sides of the pool, the playground equipment was given a new coat of paint, and bulbs were planted in the play area. By the end of the day the battle was won. The hard day of work produced a beautiful mural which covered the pool, The diligent workers were rewarded with a free lunch and a tour of the neighboring zoo. 32
