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”

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

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.

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.
OPEN: The Faculty Exhibition is open in the Alexan
der Gallery, inside the Niemeyer Center, until Nov.
