This past week has been very eventful on the Saint Mary's campus. Many groups and clubs have put on an assortment of activities to celebrate the spooky holiday-Halloween. On Thursday, October 26, Program Board hosted a Murder Mystery Party. The Murder Mystery Party consisted of 20 different Saint Mary's students, disguised as various characters, at a dinner party where they recovered clues to solve the crime. The murderer was Rebecca Ravioli.

The Hearst Art Gallery had their second-annual pumpkin carving day in the Ferroggiaro Quad on October 26. They provided 100 pumpkins. For every pumpkin, five carving utensils where available to create zany designs. It was open for everyone to join. In addition, the Hearst Art Gallery was advertising their new exhibit, Talmud and the Art of Marc Chagall and Ben Zion, which will be opening up on November 4 and will stay open through December 17. The art resembles much of Picasso's work-very abstract and surreal.

On Friday, October 27, Dryden Hall presented "Monster Bash," which was a Halloween Pub Night. This event started at 9 p.m., where games, raffles, and contests took place. In addition to sandwiches and drinks, Hefeweizen was on tap. Live music brightened up Dryden Hall, when a local band, Communique, came and performed.

On the same day, Recreational Sports and Campus Ministry held their ninth-annual Halloween Party -4- Kids, catering to 150-200 kids from the Bay Area. Different clubs on campus provided several games for the kids to play along with a haunted house.

Lastly, there was a viewing of Blair Witch Project in Stern Grove on Monday, October 30. Program Board provided popcorn and other snacks.

Surprisingly, for today, Halloween itself, there is no event planned. So many Saint Mary's students plan to go trick-or-treating and having fun in their creative costumes.
