BY JILL WOOLSEY ANTELOPE STAFF WRITER

ink was the color of the month for October. PBreast Cancer Awareness Month is an impor- tant campaign for women and even men. Breast Cancer Awareness Month promotes breast cancer screening every fall by conduct- ing breast cancer awareness activities. The most obvious activity is the wearing of pink ribbons. The pink ribbon signi- fies support of breast cancer awareness and also provides a reminder to women to perform breast examinations by schedul- ing a mammogram appointment. So, if you already have a pink ribbon, great! Wear it proudly. One woman in every eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Each year, 182,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer; and of those, 43,300 die (www.breastcancer- site.com). Many people do not realize this, but in this year alone, 1,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 400 will die. Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast start to grow out of control, which allows the invasion of tissues to spread PHOTO BY SCOTT BARRY throughout the body.

Occasionally, you could hear members of the New Young Democrats throw a joke towards the Campus Republicans booth and even a bit of taunting was done when a band member would promote it. The atmos- phere remained light, however, and the event was more of a cel- ebration than a rally. Members from both parties were very candid about the stakes of the upcoming election and were doing their best to make contact with the crowd. “I think it is crucial for young adults to get out and vote, this event is a good start,” Curtis Swager, president of the Campus Republicans, said. Zach Nelson, 3rd District Representative for the New Young Democrats, said, “I think that Howard Dean showed us that in order to get us energized about the voting process we need to use non-traditional methods.” Both political parties and PHOTO BY ZACH HOUDEK members of the bands were very Tim Stratton, bassist of Klovr gets up close and personal at “Rock the Vote.” pleased and enthusiastic about the number of high school stu- for local group Waiting for Jane, Vietnam of our era,” Lucus elephant. dents in attendance. said.

The reason behind the sale is actually pretty amusing. Frazee had a girlfriend who was in a play. Supposedly the play was not doing very well and was in financial difficulty, so Frazee took it upon himself to finance the play and sold his star play- er to the Yankees. Since then, Boston has only appeared in four World Series, losing them all in the 7th game. The Yankees, with the help of The Babe, finally made it to the World Series amassing 26 wins and is now regarded as one of the best baseball teams in history. Because of the trade, and the bad-luck streak that Boston has had for the last 86 years, tension between the Sox and the Yankees has skyrocketed. People walk down the streets of Boston wearing “Yankee- hater” shirts and have bumper stickers on their cars that read “Yankees suck.” Meanwhile, the citizens of New York walk around with the logo “1918” on their clothing, mocking the long-running tradition of los- ing that Boston has managed to do so well. Recently, the Sox were able to relinquish their pride and started a new tradition. The Sox became the 18th team in history to sweep the series in four games. Also to add to the team’s honor, it defeated its arch rival, the Yankees in seven games. The Sox were behind the first three games, but amazingly fought back and defeated the Yankees in extra innings to move onto the World Series, something that the players had their eyes on since the beginning of last cen- tury. Now, with the victory behind the Sox and its pride and self-esteem back, fans and players may now feel free of the curse and have confidence to go out again next season and possibly win another series maybe even breaking some more records and doing it in true Red Sox style.

Happy Halloween!
