I was always the same: a witch. Of course I had to have a different kind of witch costume every year. One year I was a magical witch with sparkley black fabric. Another time I was a witch with a green face and a bump on my nose. And still another time I was a witch with a silver moon and star on my chest. But as I got older, I guess I became more aware of gender stereotypes and when I was in middle school, I decided to be a fairy queen. I wore an ugly, blue, 80's-inspired, prom dress, some glitter and a wand. From there on out, I never attempted the scary costume idea again. College hit and I was Pocahontus, an angel, a stalk of celery (my boyfriend at the time was peanut butter), and a bottle of mustard (the same boyfriend, was ketchup). Cute. Weird, but cute. And so it seems choosing a Halloween costume is a personal matter. Do you have a ton of friends? Be a rock band. Is it just you and your honey? Be a taco shell and taco fillings. If you're still pining over what you're going to be this Halloween, we've got a list of suggestions for you (Page 12). As for me, I'm going back to my roots. I'm taking the plunge. Yeah, that's right. This year — the witch is back. — Anja Winikka JAYPLAYERS EDITOR AKA THE STAR Anja Winikka ASSOCIATE EDITOR AKA WILDTHING Brian Wacker CONTACT WILL HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEMS Meghan Miller Chris Moore Katie Moyer CLERK GETS AROUND TOWN Leigh Ann Foskey DESIGNERS MAKE PRETTY PAGES Becka Cremer Timothy Aaron Huston PHOTOGRAPHER TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED Kit Leffler BITE ALWAYS HAS THE MUNCHIES Natalie Johnson Kelsie Smith Laura Snyder NOTICE TAKES NOTE OF IT Kathryn Anderson James Foley Katy Humpert VENUE HAS BOOZE AND THE BEAT Rory Flynn Lindsey Ramsey Dave Ruke COPY EDITOR PROPHET OF DOOM Ty Beaver CREATIVE CONSULTANT KNOWS A LOT MORE THAN US Carol Holstead Cover Photo: Kit Leffler Cover Model: Lee Vance SPEAK UP JUST SEND AN E-MAIL TO: jayplay2005@gmail.com or individually, the formula is: (1st initial+last name = kansan.com) OR WRITE TO: Jaylapl The University Daly Kansan 111 Stuaffler-Flint Hall 1435 Jeyhawk Blvd. Lawrence, KS 60045 2 Jayplay 10.06.05 VOLUME 3,ISSUE8
