Streets are literally crawling with all sorts of witches, ghosts, goblins, vampires and all other sorts of costumed people. This makes. for added responsibility for drivers to make sure that they drive safer than normal. Children and adults tend to be preoccupied and may not pay as much at- tention to safety as they should. They may not see your ve- hicle or just assume that you see them automatically. Stay on the defensive and you shouldnt have a problem while driving on Halloween night. alks, intersec- tions and the side of the road. Kids tend to walk along the curbs, cutting across the street to get to other homes. Keep scanning all around you as you drive, whether as thru traffic or along with your kids as they trick-or-treat. - Pay extra attention, particularly to crossw: - Drive below the posted speed limit in residential areas during trick-or-treating hours. This will allow you time to break if you see a child dart in front of you. - Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the road- way, they could be dropping off children.

Box 66 _ Cullowhee, North Carolina 28723 Off Campus Housing 101 Lex Menz| WC Editor Dear Upstairs Neighbors, Hello, Ud like to introduce myself. | am the person who lives directly underneath you. I know we have never been for- mally introduced, but | would lov to meet Godzilla... at least, that is who I think lives upstairs because no human being could possibly have that loud of footsteps. [ mean, L hear when you walk to the kitchen, when you dance, when you go to the bath- room, and when you finally settle into bed at night. Make that settle into bed in the morn- ing. Yesterday, | thought | saw a portion of my living.room ceiling jutting out in the shape of two feet. It could have been the light. Also, you throw parties like the Jonas Brothers would if they believed in them! Re- member that Wednesday night? | was woken up at 2:30 a.m. because | thought a bomb went off over my head, No, it was just my furniture jump- ing half an inch off the ground because you body slammed someone into the floor. At least, that is what it sounded like. | could be wrong. And on a Wednesday night? You do know you live in a col- lege student-filled apartment complex, right? Even if you do not care about your grades, the people that live below you do. Aside from that, you are scar- ing my cat! Even better was the night my neighbors living under- neath me came to my door complaining about the noise. See the people upstairs, | told them. It is like you were born to live on the first floor! The landlady says give it time. Some people just need time to adjust to apartment living. Ok, I give you another week. But, if | see one U on my fifth-week grade re- port card, we are going to have some words. Do you have a translator for Godzilla? Maybe we can compromise. | can agree on if you end the partying at midnight or earlier on school nights, | wont com- plain to the landlady about the empty beer cans | find on my landing every morning or the cigarette butts in our can when neither my roommates nor | smoke. I think that is a good. agreement. I do not know what to do about Godzilla, though. Does he own a pair of slip- pers or something? Just ask him to get his nightly snack before going to bed. Put it on a bedside table or something. It would help out so much as I tend to wake in the mid- dle of the night wondering when Cullowhee started hav- - ing earthquakes. No offense, Godzilla. No, it has nothing to do with your weight... Yeah, it is the big feet... [ apologize. In conclusion, | thought dropping the water balloons from the landing was not funny. No, I am not interested | in your vast cooler with mul- tiple beer brands inside. Your R&B music at 2:00 a.m. does not sound awesome. Shout- ing cat calls at me through my open window while I am try- ing to relax and read a book LETTERS POLICY is not hilarious or flattering. I giggle every morning | see girls walk down the stairs in the same clothes they were wearing last night. Please try to keep the noise down. It would help my peace of mind and my GPA. And, you do not want to ruin my GPA! Thanks so much. Signed, Doesnt-Like-Living-Under- a-Herd-of-Elephants We welcome letters from our readers.
