I agree with Tina Reed's column "Take time to participate in splendors of fall" (SN 9/16). I think fall is a great season and I think Halloween is a great holiday.

That said, I would now like to urge everyone reading this to dress up for Halloween.

I want to see many individuals in costume for this fun holiday. This year Halloween takes place on a Friday, so I expect to see many costume parties that evening. But how about putting your costume on when you get ready for the day? I think it would be great to see Batman or Garfield walking into Wells Hall for some mundane class. Or how about Care Bears in class at Berkey Hall? There are many great costumes out there.

And, if you are feeling adventurous, you could even spice up a store-bought costume with a twist, such as buying the Superman costume and wearing a suit over it with some fake glasses and going as Clark Kent. In addition, there are always famous people to dress up as, such as Bill Clinton or Jennifer Lopez.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless, so go out there and pick one and use your imagination.
