There are a lot of things to love about Halloween — the costumes, the parties, and the discounted candy available the day after. But one aspect of Halloween has never really resonated with me: horror movies. I’m not a big fan of guts and gore, and I am admittedly a bit of a coward.

I’ve compiled this list to give my fellow scaredy cats some ideas for their next Halloween movie night.

With the numerous hills, stairs, and limited number of elevators, accessibility — or rather inaccessibility — has long been a point of contention on campus. This rang true for Hana Klempnauer Miller ’25 as she managed the Student Union presidential campaign of Peyton Gillespie ’25 and Lia Bergen ’25. Through personal experience, and testimonies from other students, Miller became increasingly aware of the lack of accessibility at the University. This applied to many areas of campus, but one relatively unexplored need was that of access to medications.

Others stand atop the ramp on the opposite side of the park with their boards hanging over the edge. They watch their fellow skaters attempt tricks, hyping them up and offering tips as they wait to “drop in” for a turn.

In 1891, James Naismith, a physical education teacher from Springfield, Massachusetts, was tasked with creating a physical activity to keep athletes indoors during the frigid New England winter. His idea was revolutionary — a simple game where you shoot a medium-sized ball into peach baskets nailed to the railing of the gym balcony.

Over the last month, these feathers have acted almost as an unintentional Hansel and Gretel breadcrumb trail towards Madison Square Garden, shed from the 70s-style feather boas of thousands of fans who have come to see Harry Styles.
