While the holiday has Misc: All Ages botoproject.org/ come and gone as it does every year, the spirit of this festive season lives on in the hearts of all God-fearing stu- dents at this college, and this same spirit will assure our victory in what could be a long and enduring battle. It is now our duty to hunt down those responsible for this crime against humanity and the squash family, to smoke them out of their holes and make the world safe again for outdoor produce storage. The task before us is daunt- ing, but our resolve is strong, and the battle cry of victory rings loud through the hills of Meadville and the halls COMPLETE CONFUSION of our hallowed college facilities. This war will be fought on multiple fronts, sometimes publicly and other times under the cover Of darkness. A CARTOON BY CAM TERWILLIGER While we will not always be able to discuss the details of our actions, I can assure you that we will not under- take any measures that will undermine our credibility as defenders of the free world. With the support of our allies at home and abroad, the task before us will not be as difficult as it might seem at first. While we are working abroad to hunt down thOse guilty of the crime, to bring them to justice — dead or alive — we will at the same time bolster our defense at home. The remaining pumpkins of Prospect St., and indeed of the entire Allegheny community, will be protected from further incursions by a foreign menace. I have appoint- ed a new Director of Pumpkin Security to act as a liaison between the agencies responsible for law enforcement, intelligence, and public relations. He will answer directly to me and will be furnished with every resource nec- essary to combat this menace. Meanwhile, our covert forces will work diligently to find any trace of evidence regarding the incident, and will pursue all leads until the investigation yields decisive results. The cowards who are responsible for this act must now hide in fear, for the forces of justice and freedom will soon come down upon them, enduringly and infi- nitely, until there is nowhere left for them to hide. I say this to all who wish to terrorize the festive Halloween- celebrating public: your days are numbered. Because this latest smashing, was undoubtedly the work of a global network of pumpkin vandals, we will step up efforts to build a coalition of all free societies that believe in the virtues of costumes, candy, and HallOween parties. Your past actions on recent nights, taken against pumpkins elsewhere on Prospect St., as well as along the garbage-lined banks of Loomis and North Main, have not gone unnoticed. A crime against one Halloween- loving household is a crime against all, and becauSe we believe this so strongly. we will invoke Section Five of the Halloween Code to allow our forces to act in conjunction with our allies.

To anyone who may harbor these vandals, whether you be a college student or an indigenous Meadvillian, our demands are simple. First, turn over any and all people within your borders who are involved in the plotting and execution of crimes against pumpkins, squashes, gourds, and corn mazes.
