halloween party how to Throwing a frightfully fun bash By TAMIKA SMITH

hen you're in college, you really don't need a legit reason to throw a party. Parties are pretty much a reoccurring weekend theme. But, once Halloween rolls around, it's a different ball game. Throwing a Halloween party is very different from throwing your average Friday night get together. The Halloween party goes beyond the basic drink and food perks of a regular party, and that's what makes the anticipation and excitement so high. For your Halloween party to be successful, there are things you need in order to set it apart from the rest.

1. Location The ideal place to have your Halloween shindig would be a house. Preferably one that is old and big. The good thing about this is that campus is filled with old and big houses. Having your Halloween party at a large house not only helps with the theme of the holiday but also gives you more control. You can decide when your party both starts and ends. You most likely want your party to go on all night, which probably isn't an option with an apartment location.

UWEEKLY • October 7, 2015

2. Décor Not as in a princess themed children's party. But, your Halloween party should have some flair. Throw up some faux spider webs and maybe a skeleton or two in the yard. As far as the inside, your party should be really dark and filled with people in costumes, of course. No one wants to go to a Halloween party that doesn't scream Halloween, that's what makes it fun!

3. Music With any party, you want to play the newest music out, making sure it's upbeat and something you can dance to. Halloween is no exception. Hip Hop, rock, maybe some techno (if you're in to that sort of thing) are your best bets for a Halloween party. A DJ may also be a good idea for a Halloween party, assuring that the music you want will be played without hassle. To stick with the theme it's also a good idea to add some Halloween-ish music. It doesn't matter if it's not new, as long as it's a classic and people

uweekly.com

will know the song. Throw on Michael Jackson's “Thriller” and it's sure to be a hit.

4. Add some tricks and treats With a Halloween party, you can definitely go beyond your regular beer and chips budget for your normal parties. Don't limit yourself. Add some fun factors to your party. It's good to provide favors -- orange neon glow sticks, smoke machines or some color themed Jello shots going around. Also, add some fun to your party by doing a costume contest, like sluttiest costume or lamest costume.

5. Invites It’s best to have an open invitation for any holiday party, especially Halloween. To insure that people actually go to your party, it's good to start early. Tell all of your friends about the party, and make sure they then tell their friends. Social networks are great for spreading the word, too. Definitely post about the details on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

The Pursuit of Success 6 tips for entrepreneurers By KAITLIN BRADLEY photo courtesy of Nate demars

or any college student, picking out your first professional outfit can be an intimidating but necessary experience. For guys, a good suit is all you need for your countless interviews. One local clothing store can make the shopping trip much less painful. Pursuit, formerly located in the South Campus Gateway, aims at narrowing down suit options to help young adults feel less overwhelmed. They also sell colorful suit accessories such as bowties and socks and even offer custom tailoring. Amidst the opening of Pursuit’s new location in the Short North, we sat down to talk with the store’s founder, Nate DeMars, for an exclusive on what students can learn from their success. The move to the Short North Arts District was fueled by a desire to embrace the locally made spirit of Columbus. Suit up and learn from DeMars’ sentiments about his path to success as a business owner and a buckeye. Shrink The Concept: Take an idea that has big potential and map out how it can be started without a lot of money. The original pop-up store made it so that Nate and his team could get their

product in front of their prospective demographic for feedback. Their initial investment cost was $25,000 versus the millions that most people believe is needed to start a business from the ground up. Be Open to a Change in Scenery: Pursuit’s store move was driven by the momentum of the Short North. While the store did well in the South Gateway location, it only served a specific market. Lately, the Pursuit team has been working on expanding the brand and has, also, been watching the Short North’s growth. A variety of self-made businesses and people who support local products in the neighborhood create an exciting and dynamic environment. “We want to be Columbus’ favorite suit store. It sunk in that we were missing out on the neighborhood so we got in there, because no one is doing what we do there.” DeMars stated. Embrace the Power of a Team: What has allowed Pursuit to thrive is the right team of people, DeMars said. He had no personal experience in the business of suits or fashion period. However, the team saw an opening in the market and came into

uweekly.com

the business with consumer perspective. DeMars attributes their success to everyone’s passion, from the amateurs in a starting position to the students and student interns who were all willing to deal with the ambiguity of a startup’s future. Don’t Be Afraid of a Detour: The idea of entrepreneurship is every business student’s ideal, but coming up with a business concept causes the most anxiety for those who plan to pursue it, according to DeMars. His advice, from his personal experience, is to embrace the professional roles where there is an opportunity for growth, especially in the skill sector. DeMars himself spent four years working a corporate role at Whirlpool, in a position that required speaking to a variety of people. Although it wasn’t a part of his original plan, it helped him develop skills that have benefitted him as an entrepreneur. Listen to your Inner Voice: DeMars said it’s a priority to make time for the things you’re passionate about, otherwise your own success might not take off.

Loud In the library 5 Annoying Students You'll Find on Campus

By Rie Smith

here are annoying people everywhere. From celebrities to radio hosts to people at the grocery store or even your own building, absolutely annoying people abound. But there is one place where the annoying people stick out worse than most: campus. Campus is a place that you are obligated to go to by society and pay dearly for with your limited resources. So, how fitting that some of the most annoying people you will find are none other than your fellow students. Whether you are a second semester senior or a freshman, you know exactly who we are talking about.

The inappropriately loud student in the library. Whether they realize it or not, their energetic conversation and irritating laughter pierces your study zone like a knife. They’re not loud enough to ask to be quiet, but you can’t find your groove with them two tables too near to you. You’re stuck listening to them recount their bender story to their friends until you either make it through your homework or give up. The all too excited freshman is the next type of student you could run into. There are roughly 7,000 of them every fall, so you may literally run into one. And if not, they are impossible to miss. How would we be able to tell them apart from second semester seniors if they didn’t sport their new OSU swag, lanyards and day planners with conviction? With their stupid questions (what is Carmen, anyway?) and blissful ignorance of what 6 classes mean in the college realm, makes these eager beavers unbearable. The overly intelligent student.

The Madness needs to stop Thoughts on Gun Control By Ashley Wilkinson

“

Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response here at this podium ends up being routine ... We've become numb to this. We talked about this after Columbine and Blacksburg, after Tucson, after Newtown, after Aurora after Charleston,” President Barack Obama said in a speech concerning the mass shooting in Oregon last week. Yes, yet another shooting. They are happening so frequently now, that it has really become some sort of a routine. On Oct. 1 around 10:40 a.m., a call was made to 911 about the shooting. The gunman, Chris Harper Mercer, killed nine people and injured seven at a small community college in Oregon. Mercer died, as well. First, the reports indicated that he was killed in a shootout with police officers. However, recent reports have stated that he killed himself. “It’s a sad fact that we are the most advanced country with the most mass gun attacks. And yet we have a Congress that explicitly blocks us from even collecting data on how we could potentially reduce gun deaths. How can that be? This is a po-

litical choice that we make: To allow this to happen every few months in America. We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction,” Obama stated in his speech. As a country, we shouldn’t have to make this political choice; it should have already been made. We need tighter gun laws. There’s a classic argument against the previous statement, something like, “Stricter laws won’t stop mentally ill people from acting violently.” Even though I do agree with that, we can still do our best to prevent these mass shootings by making certain changes to our gun laws. I think, nationwide, we need to have registration requirements, training tests for every state like Ohio already has, and, perhaps, a mentality test. Two months ago, a new law was put into place in Oregon. It expanded background checks for firearm purchases. After so many shootings, it is good to see that our country is moving in the right direction, but more has to be done. Maybe the gunman got his hand on a firearm

before this law was passed. Or, maybe he passed his background check. I am all for background checks, and I understand why they are a part of the process. However, they cannot measure a person's mental health and not every potential shooter would have previous charges on his or her record, so their background check would come out clean. Perhaps, every six months or every year, a person with a gun should have a certain amount of gun training to check up on their status or even have a doctor sign off each year to make sure they are healthy and everything is okay. This may sound really strict, but something needs to change. “We are not the only country on earth that has people with mental illness who want to do harm to other people. We are the only country on Earth that has these mass shootings every few months.” It’s a problem. It’s a big problem. So many people have lost their lives, and for what? For going to school, a church or a movie? This needs to stop. We need tighter firearm laws to help prevent this tragedy from happening all over again.

E-Z does it Ezekiel Elliott’s rushing saves the Buckeyes in Indiana By @GEOFFHAMMERSLEY a

f it weren’t for running back Ezekiel Elliott, the Buckeyes might've been a victim of Team Chaos – and might’ve been the victims of the first major upset of the 2015 college football season. Elliott broke off touchdown rushes of 55, 65 and 75 yards, and amassed a career high of 274 rushing yards in No.1 Ohio State’s 34-27 win against the Indiana Hoosiers. The St.Louis native was averaging 11.9 yards per carry – which is an OSU record. Even more impressive: Elliott has now tallied 10 straight games with at least 100 yards rushing. By far, the trouncing of the Hoosiers was his most impactful game of the season. While Elliott was definitely the key player on offense, the defense held its own when it mattered.

UWEEKLY • October 7, 2015

With Indiana driving late, the Hoosiers were deep in the Ohio State redzone. However, a failed fourth down conversion as time expired preserved OSU’s bid at staying kings of college football for one more week. Against a talented Hoosier offense that featured the likes of quarterback Nate Sudfeld, the Buckeyes fought hard to collect 11 tackles-for-losses. Defensive end Tyquan Lewis led the Buckeyes with 3.5 TFL’s, while fellow star defensive end Joey Bosa found a way to earn 2.5 TFL’s. Even though Lewis and Bosa had great TFL numbers, linebacker Raekwon McMillan led the charge against the Hoosiers with a whopping 14 total tackles. McMillan, who has led the Buckeye tackling core for a second consecutive game, now has 30 tackles in the past two contests. Without McMillan stopping plays, OSU would be in a tough jam as the Big Ten season really begins to take hold.

uweekly.com

Indiana held the Buckeyes to 2-for-14 on third down conversions. On a few of those conversations, Buckeye quarterback Cardale Jones was stopped at the line on his go-to QB Draw – a play that has worked well in short yardage situations for the better part of the last eight games Jones started in. Final stats for Jones included 18-for-27 passing for 245 yards and a touchdown. Jones also threw an interception in the third quarter, which was one of three turnovers OSU committed against the Hoosiers. So far at OSU, head coach Urban Meyer has yet to lose a regular season conference game. With the win against the Hoosiers, the Buckeyes are now 71-12-1 as the No.1 team in the nation. Better yet, Ohio State has taken the past 20 games from the Hoosiers, and now has a commanding 71-12-5 record in the series.

'Jackets' weather How CBJ can have a successful season By ryan mcglade

lass rattles. Skates with razor-sharp blades slash the icy surface. Chants of “C-B-J” resound inside Nationwide Arena. Columbus Blue Jackets hockey is back. The Blue Jackets begin their season Friday at home against the New York Rangers. After qualifying for the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, much excitement surrounded the team heading into the 2014-15 season. Injuries brought said excitement to a halt, though, as Columbus finished nine points short of postseason contention. Despite not making the playoffs last year, a winning culture is certainly taking hold in Ohio’s capital city. For the first time in franchise history, the Blue Jackets have stringed together three consecutive winning seasons as well as back-to-back 40-win seasons. Forwards Nick Foligno and Ryan Johansen are definite reasons for this culture change. Foligno was named the sixth captain in franchise history in May, and for good reason. Last year, he led the team in goals, multi-point games (17), plus/minus rating, points, power play goals (11) and shooting percentage (.170). Johansen played in all 82 games a year ago, tallying 26 goals and 45 assists. His crafty passing should give his line mates excellent scoring opportunities. The two players have been joined with Brandon Saad to make up Columbus’ top line. Saad brings championship experience, as he was a member of the Chicago Blackhawks when they won the Stanley Cup in 2013 and 2015. One of the largest keys to the Blue Jackets being successful this season comes down to two words: staying healthy. Columbus had a league-leading 508 man-games lost to injuries during the 2014-15 season. Forward Boone Jenner and defenseman Ryan Murray took the brunt of SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

'he named me malala' By regina Fox

“

It is better to live like a lion for one day than to live like a slave for 100.”

This quote at the beginning of “He Named Me Malala” set the tone for the heroic and inspiring tale of a young Pakistani girl who decided she was not going to succumb to Taliban rule. In October of 2012, the Taliban attacked a bus full of girls traveling home from school in Mingora, about 100 miles from Pakistan’s capital. Malala Yousafzai was only 15 years old when the Taliban called for her by name and shot a single bullet that hit her head, neck and shoulder. She had been singled out for advocating for girls’ education. She miraculously survived and now campaigns globally for equal educational rights. The film unfolds with emotional interviews with Yousafzai and her family, footage of Pakistan when schools were being bombed and artistically animated accounts of Yousafzai’s past. Beginning when she was born, to when she anonymously blogged for the BBC about her life under Taliban law, to her amazing medical recovery, “He Named Me Malala” walks audiences through every stage 16

of Yousafzai’s life. Most of the film is focused on Yousafzai’s present day life and her continued efforts to empower young women around the world through knowledge and leadership. Yet, she is only a teenager. “While Malala is this amazing young girl who has accomplished so much, at the end of the day, she is still a teenager,” director Davis Guggenheim said in a conference call. Interviews with her two brothers (one older, one younger) are sprinkled throughout the movie. The boys tease her about being “obsessed with books” and for “being naughty.” They even recount incidences when Yousafzai has smacked them in the face. With the left side of her face functioning less than the right due to the Taliban attack, Yousafzai giggles and covers her mouth in embarrassment when asked if she thinks Brad Pitt is cute. During intimate interviews, she confesses to feeling out of place at her school in England and worries that her friends won’t accept her differences. And like uweekly.com

so many of us, she teaches her father how to use Twitter. “It’s too easy for us to make our heroes untouchable and put them on a pedestal; ‘Well I could never be like her.’ Truth is she is just an ordinary girl who became famous because she was brave and she made an extraordinary choice in her life to speak out,” Guggenheim said. At the end of the movie, viewers are left thinking about education, religion and politics here in the United States and overseas, which is exactly what Guggenheim wants. Ultimately, he believes audiences should be the ones to decide the takeaways of the movie. “Certainly I feel like there are some big, important themes in this movie that I want the audience as they watch this to wrestle with. I hope I never tell people what the message of my movie is,” Guggenheim said. “He Named Me Malala” is in theaters everywhere Friday.

the lonely hour Sam Smith charms audience By ALEX ANTONETZ

here’s something to be said for an arena show with no frills. No big dance numbers; no pieces of the stage rising up and spinning around the arena floor. That wouldn’t be right for British crooner Sam Smith, who let his sweet, sweet voice get all the shine at the Schottenstein Center Monday night. Smith laid down a nearly 90-minute set, complete with familiar hits — “I’m Not The Only One,” “Like I Can,” “Lay Me Down,” “La La La,” a stripped-down take on “Latch” and, closer, “Stay With Me” — and the debut of a cover of Frank Sinatra’s “My Funny Valentine,” which was taped as part of a special for what would have been Ol’ Blue Eyes’ 100th birthday this year. It was an intimate show in a 20,000-seat venue, albeit one that was less than half full Monday, which came as a bit of a surprise considering Smith’s foothold on Top 40 radio since his debut album, “In the Lonely Hour,” dropped last year, and four Grammy wins in February. Instead, Smith offered up a master course in humility, using his awkward charm as a substitute for polished stage presence. Perhaps it’s that reason that an arena felt so small. He said “I’ve Told You Now” is about an unrequited drunk dial. He said he wants to fall in love with someone who loves him back. And in arguably the night’s most intimate moment, he said it’s hard for him to perform songs written about a man he no longer loves. His candor was endearing, partially the product of a consistent smile between tracks and a relatable kind of awkwardness — Smith doesn’t exactly have two left feet, but his two-step during “Restart” will never SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

Psyched Columbus' fourth annual Psych Fest By JACK LYNCH

sych Fest is coming back to the Dude Locker for its fourth iteration, and festival founders Andrew and Amy Davis said the Columbus psychedelic music community has come together to create an event that is much bigger than a normal Saturday afternoon of music. The husband and wife team held the first Psych Fest last spring, and it’s grown exponentially since, featuring soon-to-be breakouts and Columbus natives The Worn Flints in past years and rising Columbus bands like Turtle Island and The High Definition at this years event. The Davises were joined by the festival’s sound engineer Ben Ahlteen, who will also be performing with his band, Domes. “I think we try to create a hypnotic atmosphere where you walk in and you’re in a different mental space completely from the outside world,” Ahlteen said. “Other local festivals showcase the music, and you’re seeing it at a cool venue, but ours tries to be more of a multisensory experience. That’s why we have the projection artist come — it’s almost sensory overload at times.” The projection artist Ahlteen referred to is “Mansfield Matt,” who uses colored oils and an overhead projector to create an organic light show that gives the festival a classic ‘60s psychedelic vibe. Andrew, who is a professional hypnotherapist, suggested that the multimodal aspect of Psych Fest adds to the level of immersion. “The reality of what we came to when we asked ourselves, ‘What is psychedelic music?’ was that it creates a trance state. You walk in the door and you’re somewhere else,” he said. The three members of the Psych Fest committee who were present emphasized the importance of collaboration, community involvement and active participation from artists in Columbus.

How would you describe your style? Sweater $30 ANN TAYLOR

I would describe it as fun, colorful and a little quirky. I really like bright colors and mixing prints.

Why is fashion important to you? Fashion is important to me because it gives me a creative outlet for self-expression. It gives me a chance to make a statement about myself without saying anything.

Who / What inspires you? I often get inspiration from fashion all over the place. This includes fashion bloggers, my current favorites are Man Repeller, Margaret Zhang and Jenn Im. I am also inspired by people on the street, friends and fellow classmates.

skirt $30 EXPRESS

How do you pick your outfits? For most days, it is based on practicality. If I know I will be moving around a lot, I will dress for comfort. What it really comes down to is if I have done laundry.

How does your shoe choices vary from when you’re going to class verses going out at night? For class I usually wear flats or canvas shoes due to their comfort because I have to run around campus. However, since it is getting colder, I think boots or ankle boots with a small heel are good for day and night because they are comfortable enough to wear during the day and they are dressy enough to transition into the night.

What are your favorite places to shop? I like Forever21 and H&M for their price points. However, I have been really liking Zara's and Express's fall styles.

What is your favorite makeup tip? SHOES $20 KOHL'S

Makeup isn't really my forte. However, I did see some Youtube makeup gurus putting highlighter pencil or white eyeshadow at the corner of their eye (near the nose) for a brighter, more alert look. I have been trying it out and really liking it.

halloween costumes to avoid By TAMIKA SMITH

alloween is one of the most anticipated and celebrated holidays. It's especially loved by college students everywhere. One of the best things about Halloween is finding a costume to wear. Pretty much everyone has their go-to theme for a Halloween costume. Some girls go slutty, while others may be their favorite television character, and some just wear what ever their best friend wore last year to save money. Whatever you are this Halloween, please don't be that girl. You know, the girl that wears a costume that about 100 other girls are wearing; the same costume that we've seen over and over again on Halloween. Elsa or Anna: Although its been almost two years since the release of the film, the “Frozen” craze is still relentless. While it still may be cute to see a four-year-old dressed up as a “Frozen” character, it's not cute when you're 18 and over. We've seen every “Frozen” costume, good and bad. There are a million other Disney princesses to choose from, pick a different one! Lingerie:The official costume of the girl that doesn't really care about Halloween but wants to go out with her friends, drink and possibly meet a guy. Yea … Don't be her. This Halloween, we should all make it a goal to wear an actual costume. Don't throw on a bustier, stockings and heels and go out. Despite what we learned in the great film “Mean Girls,” it's not okay to put on animal ears with lingerie and call it a costume.

The sexy cop/inmate/devil/schoolgirl/ nurse, etc: I'll admit, I really wanted to be a sexy cop in the past. But I was young and naïve and I'm a lot wiser now. If you're a freshman then okay, you get a pass. But if this is not your first college Halloween experience then you should know better. I know everyone has a creative bone in their body, this year use yours. The bed sheet ghost: I'm not even going to give this “costume” that much attention.

tricks and treats 3 edible party favors

arty favors are a must-have at a Halloween party. They also should be fun and bite size, not just crackers and a cheese ball. Since Halloween is in the air, the ideal party favors are Halloween themed. Here are some ideas for cute and edible party favors:

Banana Ghosts This treat is really simple and delicious. To make these, stick half of a banana onto a popsicle stick and dip it into white chocolate. Use milk or dark chocolate to make the eyes and mouth.

Witch Brooms Witch brooms take only two ingredients and two seconds to make! Simply stick mini pretzel sticks into mini peanut butter cups.

Vampire Cookies Bake or buy premade cookies (your choice of flavor), and cut each cookie in half. Coat both halves with red frosting, then place marshmallows on the rounded edges of one half. Smoosh two marshmallows so that they will look like vampire teeth, then place the other half of the cookie on top.

Potion punch

Mobile cupcakes prove to be Halloween punch on a budget By ASHLEY WILKINSON

hen hosting a party, guests are extremely appreciative when it is not completely BYOB. Although you shouldn’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to buy large quantities of alcohol for your guests, it is a good idea to have a giant punch bowl for guests to help themselves. For this Halloween season, don’t just make jungle juice for your guests; stick with the theme! Make something creepy, delicious and wallet friendly! If you want to make a spooky concoction for your Halloween party, here’s a great and cheap recipe!

Blueberry Ricky Punch with Edible Eyeballs A Ricky drink is a classic drink associated with

Halloween. It was originally served to kids after trick-ortreating. However, for our purposes, this version is going to be alcoholic. To make your punch even more terrifying, I am going to include how to make edible “eyeballs” that will actually float in the punch. For the drink, mix: 12 cups blueberry juice Juice of 16 limes 8 cups sparkling water 3 cups gin Ice (recommended serving separately so it won’t water down the drink). This drink recipe yields 24 servings.

uweekly.com

To make the eyeballs, you will need 24 blueberries and 24 canned lychees. Use one blueberry per lychee, and push the blueberry in enough so that it will look like and eyeball. Set the finished product on a foil-lined baking sheet to freeze. Freeze for an hour. This drink is meant to impress! It’s fun to make, absolutely delicious, and costs only $30.31 to make 24 servings (calculated using Kroger prices) with cheap brands! That may seem a tad expensive, but a serving only costs $1.26!

FROM STELLA WITH LOVE

Lure him in

o, you’re out and you see this really cute guy that keeps looking at you. You guys continue to make eye contact and you want him to talk to you, but how? Your next move will depend on how much you’re attracted to this guy or where you want to take things. Let’s be honest, sometimes you want to talk to a guy because his interest in you is kind of sweet and someone is giving you the attention you deserve. Own the limelight. If that’s not it, maybe you’re extremely attracted to him and his fine ass is going home with you tonight. You go, girl. Whatever the reason is, you need to send this boy a signal that lets him know you’re interested. Now, if you’re the kind of girl that likes to take action and be the one in power then saunter on over to him, hot stuff. Call the shots, take the lead, be a bad bitch and ask for that number. You’ll need to be brave, a good flirt and build off of the sexual tension. Guys love a confident girl who can take control. Though, there’s nothing wrong with manipulating the male species to come to you.

ual tension or further build the attraction between you two. Once he makes it to you, be fun and flirty! If you can’t get a clear view of his entire body then simply continue to make eye contact and be fabulous, hot, cute—whatever works for you. Laugh, smile or dance (if your moves are more hot than embarrassing) to keep his attention. He’ll come over sooner or later. If your patience is waning then point at him and motion him to come to you—JUST KIDDING. Be careful, sometimes coming on too strong will scare guys away. A better way you can get him to introduce himself is to start talking to the people with or around him. If he sees you being friendly with his pals or that you’re close enough to talk to, he’ll be more inclined to say something. Make the situation casual and once you’re near him, you can simply ask him a question or say ‘Hi’ yourself. It’ll be a great way to get a conversation flowing that isn’t awkward.

9.99

PER CASE

The next time you see a cute guy eyeing you, remember your options are going to him, baiting him or meeting him halfway. Also, be cool, calm and collected! Be your flirtiest self and work it.

Seduce them. Entice them. One way to get a guy to come to you is by smiling at him. It’s like a huge welcome sign that’ll make him comfortable enough to say ‘Hi.’ My personal favorite is looking him up and down and then making eye contact. You don’t need to smile. The lingering look will add to the sex

NATTY LIGHT & KEYSTONE LIGHT

Get them hooked, girlies. With love, Stella
