October 31, 2007 | Dwight Schrute, naughty nurses
and a bathroom stall. . . . What are the costumes seen
Saturday night at the USU Howl?
The USU ticket office says it sold 4,263 admissions
to the annual USU Halloween party that has a reputation
for attracting people from across the state. The tickets
cost $10 for students and $20 for non-students, so this
event is a big money maker for ASUSU.
The Howl also has a reputation of keeping the USU
Police Department quite busy. This year officers made
a total of four arrests. Two arrests were for public
intoxication and two for minors in possession of alcohol.
To try to control the madness, there was a long list
of rules that attendees were required to comply with.
Photo identification was required to show patrons were
at least 18 years old. Once inside, partygoers were
not allowed to go back outside and re-enter. And no
masks or props were allowed inside. One attendee was
even asked to remove the glasses that were part of her
costume before entering.
The hot and sweaty partygoers packed onto the dance
floors and didn't seem to notice that they were practically
dancing on top of each other. The party included a hypnotist,
several live bands and a DJ. Free pictures were also
being taken and patrons could download them Wednesday.
