Alcala Yearbook 1997

Who says that ttalloween is just for kids? It was easy to find the holiday spirit at U&D. &tudents celebrated the day with costumes, decorations, and a variety of on-campus activities. The approach of ttalloween was easy to see. Dorm rooms, halls and offices announced the upcornins holiday with 8hosts, witches, 8oblins and streams of black and or508e. Valley residents celebrated early with a ttalloween Bash in Mission Crossroads on October 30. The event, put to8ether by the Valley Qesidence ttall Council, included food, drink, 8ames and dancif18. The ni8ht concluded with prizes for the best costumes. On ttalloween, the Associated &tudents sponsored The Graveyard, an all-campus social in the UC forum. It 8ave some students the chance to 8et into costume and away from their books to celebrate the holiday. Qesidents of the Alcala Vista Apartments were visited by some youn8 non-residents. A& ColilIIlunity &rvice, with the help of the Emer8if18 Leaders Pro8ram, hosted children from the Linda Vista COII11Ilunity for an evenins of trick-or-treatins. &tudent volunteers led the costumed 8uests, from Carson Elementary, Linda Vista Elementary and ttoly family, on a candy search throu8h the Vistas and a haunted house on the first floor of &an Qaphael. The event was fun for both U1e kids and their 8uides. The fun and festivities of the evenins reached all across the campus. Even those who spent the ni8ht with term papers or pre-exam stress couldn't help but catch a little of the lialloween spirit.
