We cannot leave Halloweenbehind

their attacks create.

The terrorists claimed the first victory of the war on Sept. 11, but we must remember that the war started only a month ago, and it promises to last months or even years.

Unlike the military conflicts of recent times, the current campaign in Afghanistan is especially difficult because we are fighting an unknown enemy whose location is unclear. But we still carry on and commit ourselves to the cause.

The same should apply to the threat of anthrax. Although we may not know its source or sources, we must commit ourselves to seeking out those responsible for this biological terrorism and holding them accountable for their attack on our nation. Until then, however, we must continue to carry on by rebuilding our greatest cities and our confidence.

It doesn't get much better than Halloween. Why? Because there is no other day in the year when making an ass out of yourself is completely acceptable. Better yet, people give you candy to do it. This year, with all the scary anthrax letters floating around, there has been talk of canceling Halloween. It can't happen. Halloween must go on, no matter what. Halloween is for the kids, the kids who can't even spell anthrax or Osama bin Laden, it's their day, let them have it.

Don't get me wrong; I do think that parents must be extra careful when sorting through the candy this year. There's nothing wrong with that, my parents did it every year. So, that aside, let's talk about the fun.

I needed, every year, to have the best costume. It's who I am, what I do. I definitely had a few clunkers through the years, but there are a few that stick out in my mind. 12 years old I was Howard Stem. 12 years old, what were my parents thinking? I had the frizzy wig, the nose was a gift from God, and the sunglasses. Word to the wise: Never wear sunglasses on Halloween night; I must have wiped out 30 times.

At 13 I decided to go out as John Lennon, my hero. This was a bit tougher to pull off. I had to get the Beatie wig and find an outfit that was very "John Lennon." But that wasn't enough, luckily I found a pin with "Give Peace a Chance" written as big as day on it. The response I got from the baby-boomers was terrific.

Then one year, when I was 14 (OK so I went out until I was 14, cut me a break), I wore the.Halloween costume to top all costumes. That's right, on Halloween night I was Santa Claus. I must've blown 70 bucks on this outfit, but it was the best 70 bucks I ever spent. I won't lie to you; I was a pretty hefty teen, so wearing that Santa outfit really worked out for me. I was the star of Oct. 31, 1993. Little kids could be hear screaming "Santa Claus!, Santa Claus!" from 10 blocks away. The parents who opened the door for my motley crew couldn't stop taking pictures of Santa in October. So many camera flashes went off that night that I was legally blind by 9p.m.

Steal this idea; consider it my gift to you. I guarantee only the greatest things for you and your Santa outfit. Now that you have your award-winning costume picked out, it's time to hit the streets in search of the "King Size" candy bar. Now I don't think that there is a universal "best candy" to get on Halloween, but if it were up to me to choose I'd have to say the "King Size Snickers" is my personal favorite.

One of the greatest feelings as a kind was graduating from the small plastic baggie to the pillowcase. The pillowcase never knew it was intended for such great things. It's amazing how much this cotton sack can hold. If you're able to fill that sucker, and carry it, you'll easily have enough candy to put you through Christmas.

As you can see Halloween is a day not to be left behind, it's a day to have a good time and the weeks following are meant to gain a few extra pounds. Did you know that more candy is sold for Halloween then any other holiday? Let's not let all that candy go to waste. Trick or Treat?

The "Calling all baseball fans" article in last week's issue 7 reported some inaccurate statements.

•The group of students who created the baseball club is not officially a club at this time. The group must get approval from Mary 1 Beth Horvath, the student activities coordinator, who is in charge of clubs.

•Other schools do have baseball clubs, but we currently do not know which local schools in the area have baseball clubs.

•Chris Winkler is not in charge of the baseball club but in charge of intramurals.

•lntramurals will be starting an intramural whiffle ball program

•John Dzik, Athletic Director, would decide if a baseball team would exist here at Cabrini. Chris Winkler has nothing to do with this area of responsibility.

As both members of 'On The Spot,' Cabrini's improvisational comedy troupe and members of the commedia company that is performing on campus and around the area this semester, we would like to clear some things up. We fear the "Commedia" article in issue 7 created some confusion and may have misled some read~rs.

• Many schools and areas have more than one improv troupe and therefore the term can be thrown around to describe any group of individuals performing anything that involves any form of improvisation. Cabrini, however, only has ;:meimprov troupe. The troupe is .:>ftenreferred to by fans, faculty and the Loquitur as "the improv troupe," not by its actual group name. This common dubbing, therefore, makes the article in question confuse some readersby leading them to believe that 'On the Spot' as a whole is in some way involved with the commedia company's performances, which it is not because the commedia company is repeated to referred to as 'the improv troupe." The article could also lead one to believe that the commedia "improv troupe" is a ore permanent entity which exis outside of this semester productio , which it does not as of yet. Al ugh the five of us are in both the c edia company and 'On The Spo ' there are over 10 people who are 1 one or the other, but not both.

The part of the co we, as members of 'On The want to make most clear is nothing our troupe does ever in-
