Photographs by Tom Moran Campus spirits Halloween is a day for the bizarre, and to maintain that image, UK students threw some wild parties and entertained some worthy causes. From costume dances at Blazer Hall and the Complex to the limbo dance at the Phi Gamma Delta House, students celebrated the holiday in their own way. Blanding Tower entertained local Brownie troops with trick-or-treating and refreshments. Patterson Hall residents dressed in ghoulish costumes for a visit to the children at Shriner's Hospital. The morning after Halloween the campus sported evidence of tricks in the form of toilet paper wrapped around trees and messages written in spray paint, but whether the fun involved tricks or treats, it was all in the spirit of Halloween. continued on page 30 Halloween brought out more than ghouls and ghosts when students from the Complex area organized a Halloween costume dance. Held in the Commons, the dance featured a disco show and costume competition.

Nine out of 10 ain't bad They start preparing for it early in the year—the annual Halloween Bowl between Haggin and Holmes. The football game constitutes the most intense residence hall rivalry on campus. Encouraged by the staff of each building, residents spend much of the fall organizing teams, and practicing in preparation for the game. The winner takes home a beer barrel, which lists the winner of each year's game. For nine of the past 10 years the barrel has taken a place of honor in Haggin Hall’s lobby. The 1979 contest was no exception as the sports-oriented residents of Haggin Hall won the contest 21-6. Complete with microphones and a set-up for announcing the Halloween Bowl, Allen Shelton and Rich Winself of Haggin Hall attempted to give their version of the play-by- play but Holmes Hall would not permit it. 30-HALLO WEEN BOWL
