SAMANTHA BEHL photo BY NATASHA BODILY features editor Saturday Oct. 27 USU hosted the 33rd annual Howl party. Students from several Utah colleges came to dance and be entertained. DJ Marcus Wing provided music for the evening and My Bad Dance Crews. Aside from dancing, attendees could see a magician and hypnotist perform. Though the attendance dropped from its usual crowd of more than 6,000, around 5,500 came to what has been known as the biggest Halloween party in the state. A contortionist named The Human Knot showed off his odd body talents including fitting inside a tennis racket. Despite the lower crowd number, The Howl remains a state-wide tradition. In the past, alcohol-related arrests have tainted the evening, and USU Police have made efforts to keep the event safe. Masks, props, weapons or offensive clothing were not allowed and anyone clearly under the influene of alcohol would not be allowed entrance. — natashabodily@gmail.corn KYLE FISCHER, A SOPHOMORE majoring in aviation, displays his unicorn costume.
