Autumn is not the only feeling in the air—the spectre of Halloween is lurking just around the corner. The Halloween hijinx have begun early in my townhouse in the form of scary movies. Apparently, Kevin Costner's receding hairline in "Dragonfly" is a truly frightening sight, as I heard screams downstairs every twenty minutes from one of my terrified housemates (ahem, Courtney).

Again, two questions – you guys keep sending in the tough ones and make me type until my fingers turn blue. At least my insurance covers it. Why do upperclassmen guys go for freshmen girls? It seems like it's a phenomenon that occurs each and every year. Do freshmen girls have something that upperclassmen don't? Do they lack something that taint upperclassmen girls? --Questioning the backwards grade inflation Freshmen girls get all the attention because guys like to tick off the upperclassmen girls.

Why is that guys and girls "can't be friends?" Although there may be an attraction once in awhile, I would never hookup with my guy friends.

Sleep. It's just like chocolate, you can never get enough and when you do, you just want more. I always say I'm "tired" of getting to bed late, but I'm never tired enough to go to bed early. Now that you're in college, the urge to ignore the alarm becomes even greater.

To the Editor: I am writing to you concerning the article "FU grads admit in a survey to slacking off" published in the Oct. 3 issue of The Mirror. I would particularly like to address the comments made by Dora Denardo, '04; Julia Lundy, '04; and Chris Dibiase, '05.

Considering the number of questions lately rolling in on this topic, I couldn't help but get down and dirty. But let's keep it fairly clean, people. I cheated on my boyfriend once. I feel really guilty, and it is something I would never do again. However, I haven't told him.
