Provided you are reading this in the comfort of your own home, or in a lecture hall, and not still behind bars or nursing sore wrists, congratulations on successfully surviving Halloween 2004. That weekend was full of crazy costumes, overcrowded parties and, of course, the usual herds of police officers equipped with tear gas and riot gear. The benefit of hindsight lets us calmly look back and ask the serious question: was Halloween weekend successful, tear gas and all, or is it time for UW students to say goodbye to Halloween and hello to an October sans looting and arrests?
