Halloween Health Fair provides discount care

The Rasmuson Hall lobby was transformed into a Halloween fest of medical testing and education for the Halloween Health Fair. The event was open for all students, faculty and staff; normally the lab work is only available for students. The Health and Physical Education Department had body mass index testing available with computer technology. Student nurses provided free blood-pressure checks, with exhibits and information regarding mental health, men's health, alcohol and drugs, and more. The campus police and AHAINA were also present. The Nutrition Department provided free fruit to students and faculty. The Student Health Center provided reduced rates for lab work such as blood tests and flu shots, which are highly recommended for this time of year. The Health Center will continue to provide flu shot clinics for the rest of the semester.

Halloween Costume Party in the Commons

The Commons lower dining area was dimly lit and covered in cobwebs and black paper to create a spooky and entertaining Halloween-themed dance party on Sunday, Oct. 29. Student Housing Activities sponsored the event. Popular dance music blared from the speakers as fairies, pirates, vampires and even more creatively dressed students danced the night away. Tables were moved out of the way to create a larger dance floor, as costumed students mingled. There were prizes awarded for raffle tickets and awards for best costume. A display of cauldrons filled with candy and bowls of punch and lemonade were available for participants. UPD officers were also present to monitor the activity and make the dance a safe and entertaining event on campus.

They were trained at Juilliard in New York and achieved recognition in the United States in 1987 on the cover of TIME Magazine. They've been selected by People Magazine as three of the "Most Beautiful People" and featured in Vogue, GQ and in ads for the Gap. With beauty and talent, the sisters have performed for audiences in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Hawaii, Singapore, Moscow, Seoul and more.
