Dirty Bernie Bottom The brothers of Zeta Psi forewent their typical Halloween plans — pregaming to Laidback Luke, pretending it’s normal to drink out of a garbage can and babysitting freshmen girls who can’t stand vertically — to do something a little different. The brothers all cuddled up on their living room couch and watched “Hocus Pocus” on Netflix. This Thursday, members of the fraternity decided against the typical frat party, which boasted four floors of beer pong, brand new speakers, the largest dance floor in Binghamton, fewest questionably consensual hookups per capita, an ice luge, strobe lights, drink specials, special drinks, something to get drunk and do. Instead, they watched the Halloween classic starring Sarah Jessica Parker. “We just weren’t feeling it tonight,” said Kam Sayy from Zeta Psi. “We wanted a night to just be together and hang out here, you know?” The brothers commented on the film throughout, discussing the actors’ performances. “Bette Midler is my girl crush,” said Vladmir Dostevsky (or something really Russian). “Sarah Jessica Parker is way better in ‘Sex and the City’ though.” For the next three hours, the brothers watched season 1 of “Sex and the City” and decided that she is definitely better in the show. Regardless, they had a moving night. “I kind of got those witches,” said Mysha Jee. “They didn’t take shit from anyone.”

CIW students were treated to a special Halloween Sodexo surprise — or so they thought — on Wednesday, as the dining hall rolled out what seemed to be a holidaythemed menu. “I found a live worm in my pot pie,” said Candice Korn, a senior double-majoring in history and origami. “They really committed to the theme.” Sodexo employees were slightly bewildered by students’ enthusiasm for the festivities. “What?” asked Poor Spice, CIW Dining Hall manager. “We didn’t have anything special planned for today.” Several students said they appreciated the attention to detail that Sodexo chefs paid to the meals. “I thought that Sodexo lady was a zombie,” said Seth Marx, an undeclared freshman. “But no, she is just a sad person with problems.” “You should have seen all the thick black

hairs I got in my mac and cheese,” said Tara Ntula, a sophomore majoring in climbing things. “My milk expired before 9/11. It was super scary and totally disgusting. Perfect for Halloween.” The selection included spaghetti worms and eyeballs, green “zombie” steak, brain stew, some really mediocre chicken fingers. “We originally planned to just dump laxatives into pancake batter and tell students we had breakfast for dinner night,” Spice said. “However, our food supplier mixed up the order and sent these body parts.” Spice claimed the menu was a prime example of Sodexo’s ability to adapt, with the
exception of the mud pies, which they had in the kitchen already and have been trying to sell all semester. Ra T. Chet, a freshman majoring in taking up space on State Street, said the food was “delightful” before her tongue fell out and shriveled up from a combination of the meal and her blatant lies. She now has four senses. Most of the confusion stemmed from the recent addition of fake blood and corpse behind the grill as decorations. Upon further inspection, the bodies were identified as members of Binghamton University’s administration who fought against the renewal of Sodexo’s contract with the University. When asked how she could charge students for the spoiled food, CIW cashier Sue glared unblinking at the Pipe Dream reporter for 18 straight minutes, muttering something about “the beast,” before the reporter collapsed in a cold sweat. The reporter on the job was unavailable for comment, as he faded from existence soon after.
Over 150 students used the same fake ID to get into Tom and Marty’s Thursday night on what is being called the “D-Day” of passbacks. The fraudulent Watford City, North Dakota ID, which expired in the year before “The Italian Job” was released in theaters, belonged to Gideon Rosenthal, a sophomore majoring in chemistry. “My friend Jack forgot his ID that night, so I lent him mine,” Rosenthal explained. “But Jack gave it to his friend, and he gave it to his friend…” Rosenthal said that he doesn’t remember anything after that, but is reportedly surprised that his ID worked so well for everyone. “I’m a one armed Filipino burn victim,” he said. “It’s just not that common a look at this school.” Bouncers at various State Street bars said that nothing seemed out of the norm on Thursday night. “If it scans … it scans,” said Zach Moyers, a bouncer at The Mousekeller. The night was almost ruined by a raid on Tom and Jerry’s at 1:30 a.m. “I thought we were screwed at first,” said the owner of one State Street
