Halloween is traditionally one ol the biggest nights of the school year, and this year's celebration was no exception. From a lull house at Sneakers to a blocked-oil Water Street, UWEC students dressed up and lived it up in honor ol All Saints Eve. For some, the quest for the perfect costume begins weeks or even months before the chance to show it off arrives. The serious cele brator spends hours at the sewing machine or pouring through second-hand stores, piecing together the desired effect. Many students’ attire for the evening, however, consists of whatever they can round up the afternoon before. I got the idea for my costume from David Lcttcrman the night before Halloween,” said senior Kathy Schucler, who traversed Water Street as a cocktail wiener complete with cellophane-tipped toothpick, “No one knew what I was, but it made lor interesting conversation!” Her roommate, senior Michelle Posselt donned sheet and pillowcase to shepherd the cocktail wiener about the bars. Students who aren’t inspired to create and have Halloween figured into their bud- gets can traipse off to places such as to Buttcr-llv Exchange and purchase their costumes ready-made. Since there is always such a high demand for costumes, the Butterfly Exchange took the opportunity to rent the old Borum-Dyer Volkswagon building to accommodate a special order of clothing, jewelry, masks and accessories. There was a great student turnout,” said one employee. “Pirates and gangsters were the more popular costumes for the guys this year. The girls opted for the 1920’s look, lairy godmothers, and gypsies ... the ladies always want to look pretty.” Once students were properly attired for the evening, they had a number of entertainment options. Those in the mood to start the night with a good ghost story took part in the Cabin-sponsored “Tales in The Dark”. Sneakers played host to a capacity crowd for its own Halloween party and costume judging. And, as is the tradition, city police closed off several blocks of Water Street to allow students to celebrate safely, though chilly temperatures inspired most students to do so in the warmth of the bars.
