H
alloween is usually thought of as
a time for children- Idaho students
disproved that theory.
Although students have long outgrown
trick-or-treat, the autumn celebration
was far from boring. Since no one is too
old to carve pumpkins, wear bizarre
costumes, and party; the Halloween
spirit prevailed on campus.
Every costume imaginable could be
found as students roamed from party to
party dressed as witches, vampires, monsters
and ghosts; while others chose to
be a bit more creative donning cone
heads, former presidents, crayons, and
nerds.
"Halloween night is one of the biggest
party nights on campus," said Todd
Butler a Nashville, Tennessee junior. "It's
a night where everyone seems to let
loose their inhibitions, and otherwise
have a wild time."
In addition to living groups and
private parties, many local clubs and
bars host special happy hours with "ginn-
gobblins" and "witches brew." Some
employees even dressed up to add excitement.
Besides parties, many groups sponsored
haunted houses, assisted young
children and participated in the
UNICEF Trick or Treat drive.
Whatever way students choose to
celebrate, they proved Halloween was
certainly not il!st a night for children. 0
Going all out.
Some students make a big production out of
special events. Halloween is a perfect time for
these stars to shine as original costumes come out
of the closets for a night. (photo by D. Fredericks)
A bewitching conversation.
It isn't easy to get to know a person while wearing
strange outfits. But. Halloween is an exception
and these two students strike up a conver·
