The Usual Haunts

Students' Halloween plans tend to the traditional

For those who haven't found a costume yet, Cathy A. Johnson, an employee at Oona's, a Square costume and novelty clothing shop, has some suggestions.

This year, many popular costumes come from recent movies and television shows such as The Ladies Man, Shaft and Charlie's Angels, she says.

Unsurprisingly, "girls want to be sexy" with their costumes, she says. In particular, "lots of sexy devil cats" are in demand.

The men at last night's Adams Drag Night might not have much competition. "Guys aren't doing drag that much this year," she says.

Making fun of the past is always popular. According to Johnson, the 1980s are in this year.

If students don't want to dress up themselves, they can always unleash their creative energies on gourds. The first-year prefects, for instance, are sponsoring their annual pumpkin-carving contest this week. The winning first-year entryway will receive a pizza party.

For the jaded, the ambitious and those who are tired of the Harvard social scene, there are opportunities outside of Cambridge.

Jorge Ditas '01 plans to go to a costume party in Boston. One first-year entryway is going farther afield, to Salem, Mass.
