Halloween has come and gone. It will be another year before playing dress up would not look too weird. Dorothy of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, a witch, a satyr, and Venus, Medusa, Winnie the Pooh, a samurai, a Cabbage Patch Kid, a tavern wench, and Wedding Peach were present at this year’s costume contest, sponsored by the Programming Board. Other noteworthy costumes included a pirate, a baby with a Care Bear, a World War II British Soldier, and Ennis from Brokeback Mountain. One contestant used his unusual costume, a giant penis, to promote Latino Day for his fraternity. This year’s contest had a big list of participants for judges to vote on. First place was Servando Certonas as Michael Myers who scared half the audience by his entrance alone. Second place was Geoffrey Gayares who got into his character as Dr. Venkman from Ghostbusters. Third place was Alvaro Rios as “6 hours of history class.” Congratulations to all the winners. Here’s hoping that there will be even more great costumes at next year’s contest.
