.vw Halloween in Hattiesburg wouldn't have been the same without the USM students and faculty alike celebrating October 31 as if it were a major holiday, Campus masquerade parties and swaps, the UAC horror movie presentation of Halloween,', a Halloween carnival in the Union with a kissing booth, fortune telling, sponge throws, face painting and a spook house, and a special Halloween pep rally prepared students for the bewitching weekend. Saturday, October 31 held many options for students. Area party places held costume contests, the Hattiesburg Jaycees and WHSY radio sponsored a haunted house, and movie theaters showed midnight thrillers like Halloween ll. Southern students, with their costumes and parties and a Golden Eagle football shut-out over North Texas State rounded out the holiday, and gave Hattiesburg a Halloween they wouldn't forget. T' .
