At 10 pm the dance floor was a barren land with many succumbing to the wallflower effect.

Costumes within a student budget
By Marissa Mooney |Asst. A&E Editor| Halloween is just around the corner and now that midterms are over, students are in search for the perfect costume.

The quality of costumes … [Read more...] about Costumes within a student budget
