October Fall became apparent when the basketball players were seen bouncing from the gym. When practice starts, winter is surely on the way. Oktoberfest, the outdoor celebration of fall, drew new people to the campus to throw darts at balloons, swing at junk cars, vote for the best pair of male legs, and enjoy other fund-raising activities sponsored by various clubs and organizations.

The basketball teams officially began their season, and the volleyball and soccer teams retired for the winter.
