wqr™ getting up on •n BQQQTIFUL FRIDflY?? ctober 31, 1986. 6:30 am. The loud buzzing sound of my alarm clock had awak- ened me from a comfortable night ' s sleep. I wanted to stay in bed all day but sud- denly I remembered! Not only was it Friday, it was Hal- loween and this was gonna be a special day. At first glimpse of the day I had an awful feeling that Hal- loween would turn out terri- ble. I had second thoughts about dressing up, but the high spirited student I was. I decided to go ahead. It ' s a good thing I did too, because as soon as I walked on cam- pus I could see lots of people in various costumes and out- fits. I bumped into every- thing from hari-krishnas to exotic belly-dancers. I had a great time on Hal- loween. This was a new ex- perience for me because back in Japan we don ' t cele- brate Halloween, said ex- change student Tamao Maki- shima. The best part of the day had to be during lunch. A contest was held to see who had the best all around out- fits. Many of the costumes had either been rented or bought, but it seemed the best costumes were made up. Some good examples were the crayola crayons , ape on board and the hefty bug . I liked Halloween this year because 95% of the girls weren ' t half naked. There should be more tradi- tional costumes instead of risque outfits, said Michelle Harris. The last classes of the day were calmer and back to nor- mal. But I still couldn ' t figure out whether the excitement of the students came from having such a good time dur- ing the day or from knowing that there was a whole week- end ahead. If my guess was good, most people would ' ve said the answer was definite- ly both. story by Michelle Garay: Layout by Dee Honda: Photos by Paul Mal- donad o. t HAViOWC HI ▲ ENJOYING THEIR NACHOS, hari-knshnas .
