4 The Clackamas Print Arts Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2007 Culture Halloween: Dress like a slut Continued from SLUTTY, Page 1 One would think that women dress like sluts for Halloween because they decide to dress that way, which is a fair assumption. Or could it be that it’s their only option for Halloween? Google-search for “wom en’s Halloween costumes,” and see what turns up. The first result is an “adult” costume store at http://www.michaels- houseofstyles.net. The most popular costumes on the site are Officer Frisk-Me, tlie get-well-or-else S&M nurse, Captain Hooker and Heidi “Ho.” All female costumes are two-piece or one incredibly small piece. It’s usually cold on Halloween, so should women really be going out at night with so little clothing? Oh, but it’s not just on the Internet. Go to the nearest Wal-Mart, or any costume store, and look at women’s costumes. They are almost always somewhat revealing - unless, of course, the cos tume is for a five-year-old girl. This leads to the next point. The older the age Megan Koler Clackamas Print A row of erotic shoes fill a shelf in a Halloween costume store at the Clackamas Town Center. group for said costume, the more revealing it is. It’s usu ally not until the 13-to-15 age range that the outfits become little slut-starter kits. The Fantasy Adult Lingerie on SE 82nd Avenue, in Clackamas, even has a big sign advertising its “Halloween cos tume sale” - “all women’s cos tumes 50 percent off.” That is a very accurate state ment. It should be mentioned that we live in a great place where we are allowed to express our selves in whatever way we choose. In many other coun tries, like those in the Middle East, women might be put to death for dressing so provoca tively. And not only women dress like sluts for Halloween - remember The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Wednesday through Thursday. Tutorial Services keeps cards on file with information about available tutors. Interested students can peruse the cards, get recommendations from the Tutorial Services staff and decide for themselves which tutor might be a good match. After choosing a candidate, the tutelage-seeking student can call or e-mail the prospective tutor and dis cuss meeting times. Tutoring ses sions sponsored by Tutorial Services are held on campus during school hours. Tutors bring time sheets to appointments for documenting their clients’ information and meeting times. These time sheets are sub mitted monthly in order for tutors to receive compensation for their efforts. Besides the obvious advantages, private tutoring through Clackamas Tutorial Services offers somewhat customizable scheduling and meet ing locations. For some, school hours are just not a realistic possibility for study ing; work, family, commuting and other responsibilities can interfere with scheduling. Another option for getting per sonal tutoring is hiring an indepen dent, private tutor. Private tutors such as these are not necessarily affi 1 iated with the college, and students who hire them are responsible for paying die tutor. Advertisements for independent tutors can be found on community bulletin boards, like those found around Clackamas. Virtual commu nity boards, such as Craig’s List, are another good resource for indepen dent tutors. The advantage to hiring an inde pendent tutor is versatility. Since independent tutors do not work for the college, they are free to meet cli ents after hours or off campus. Instead of waiting for an emer gency, it’s best to get tutoring regu larly throughout the term. Even if the material is not particularly difficult at the moment, a tutor can add assur ance and make the work that much easier.
