Editorial Halloween is not Politically Correct Whoever thought up Halloween has never spent much time at CSU Stanislaus. To take a look at the basic beliefs associated with this holiday, there are a many things that aren't so politically correct, something that reigns high on this campus. For instance, why are all witches portrayed as being female? Are there no male witches to be found? Is this because the witch establishment doesn't allow men to join? Another thing synonymous with Oct. 31 is black cats. If one of these fiendish creatures is seen, we have been trained to run in the opposite direction or we will fall under a spell of bad luck. Just because some cats are pigmently-challenged, they have just as much ability to cause trouble for you as a black cat. What about Siamese or calico varieties? They could be causing all types of problems and they aren't even getting any credit for it. And what about ghosts? They are always white. You can't expect us to believe that somewhere there aren't brown, black, or yellow ghosts. Most adults think the best part of Halloween is when they take children to houses and they receive candy. Why is this the only night of the year when begging is acceptable? Adults even lead the kids up to the doors to do the begging. Lee Renner, director of judicial affairs, should get some kind of committee on this subject so that we can change these things for next year. Maybe we can include this into the Cornerstones project so that it can be implemented at other CSU campuses. Perhaps the Associated Students could raise their referendum fee to include a budget for a student committee on the political correctness, or the lack thereof, on All-Hallow's Eve. Or maybe we could try to be less politically correct on this campus and just accept the holiday for what it is, whatever that may be.
