3. UCSD Halloween Costume Contest for Students, Faculty and Staff October 30/Friday. Enter If You Dare:

Zombies and ghosts wander aimlessly in graveyards during the dead of night and hauntingly mumble and sigh amongst themselves, "Who has the intestinal fortitude to sign-up for this most gruesome and grueling of contests - and at their own risk?" They're eternally horrified that UCSD humans have the audacity to drag their grisly and accursed costumes over to the Price Center Plaza on October 30. If not to win spookdracular prizes then to bear witness to the heart-wrenching and post-mortem thrills. If that isn't enough to frighten you into joining the fun as a spectator or contestant, perhaps a list of categories and monstrously delectable prizes will whet your appetite.
