Page 4 The Battalion Friday, October 1,1 ! Haunted house spooks up fun OCA members to host 10th annual Halloween celebration By Carrie Miura Thc Battalion Texas A&M University Off- Campus Aggies (OCA) are spon soring their 10th annual haunted house on Oct. 31, benefiting the Brazos Valley Food Bank. OCA's claim its haunted house is the largest in Bryan-Col- lege Station. This year's theme is "Ag- gieland Spooktacular, Reconstruc tion. . . Pardon Our Progress." Michael Jasek, treasurer of OCA, said the theme is based on the premise that the house is on the real estate market and is in the process of being sold. There is a catch though — a bizarre set of 'murders' have been committed in each of the house's 30 rooms. Jessica Reeves, director of the project, said, "The people who walk through the house will be treated like perspective home-buy ers and will be escorted by real es tate agents (OCA members)." Jasek said if the people who en ter the haunted house (at their own risk) walk completely through it, they will be able to solve the mys tery and find out exactly who com mitted the chain of murders. It will take over 100 people to operate the house and man the mock laboratory, graveyard and other twisted rooms that the crew is preparing. The haunted house will be open to the public Halloween night at 6 p.m. OCA is also sponsoring a chil dren's hour from 6-7 p.m. "We want to try to give chil dren something to do that is safe other than trick-or-treating," Jasek said. OCA will provide a toned- down version of the house 'tour' with the lights on and without screaming by the characters. When 7 p.m. rolls around, it is lights out and "if you make it out, you make it out," Jasek said. From 1983-1990, the OCA haunted house has been held on campus, in places like the MSC and the Quadrangle. The house has been off campus since 1991. This year's site has not yet been determined. Attendance has increased each year. Last year's attendance reached 2,500 people. People bringing a canned food item will receive $1 off of the ad mission price. Jasek said, "We're looking for ward for this to be the best year we've ever had."

An international relationship began between Monterey Tech and Texas A&M University in Feb ruary 1991 and will continue as the RHA and the Residence Life Staff Council send 12 representa tives to Monterey Tech for the week of Oct. 26-31. "This is a good training experience for the staff," said Michael Osterbuhr, northside area coor dinator for the Residence Life Staff Council and RHA adviser. "It's an awareness-builder for both schools. We have an opportunity to see things in a differ ent perspective." RHA decided Wednesday night to contribute one-fourth of the transportation cost for the trip to Monterey. The Residence Life Staff Council will contribute the remaining funds for the visit. Chris Thompson, RHA president, said the expe rience will serve as an experiment for the RHA and its representatives. "We're looking at this as something we migki want to adopt as a program to do every year Thompson said. The cultural exchange between A&M and Monterey Tech started in 1991 and has since gained momentum. Representatives from Texas A&M have traveled to Monterey four times, arid Monterey Tech stu dents have visited College Station four times. Last semester, Texas A&M sent two residen: advisers (RAs) to Monterey Tech for the semes ter. Osterbuhr said Residence Life staff member; are planning to send RAs to Mexico again next spring. RHA is trying to get Monterey Tech's newlv formed residence association to join the National Affiliation of College and University' Residence Halls, Osterbuhr said. "The more schools we have involved in theor- ganization, the more we benefit," he said. "Were hoping this program will open a lot of doors tot the people involved. "It's hard to describe the effects," Osterbuhr said "It will take a few years for the people involved to realize how thc experience will benefit them.''

The I JUST THE BEGINNING Pe rs iajn H ai r bod [5 Bv Jason Brown Computer co. irked at Opus for shooting down toasters The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO - Since Opus the penguin has taken to shooting flocks of flying toasters, a computer company is taking a legal Magnum to Opus. When cartoonist Berkeley Breathed, a 1987 Pulitzer Prize win ner, first walked into a software store, he "didn't see anything fun ny." So he designed the "Opus N' Bill Screen Saver" program for Toronto-based Delrina Corp. Since the soaring appliances are the icon of Berkeley Systems Inc.'s popular "After Dark" program, the company doesn't think his choice of skeet is so neat. So the company is suing rival Delrina. "They're essentially profiting on our brand," said Wes Boyd, co founder, president and chief exec utive officer of the Berkeley, Calif., company. "We worked very hard to es tablish a brand identity which is focused in and around this flying toaster image." Delrina denies trying to mis lead customers. It insists the pro gram simply makes legitimate use of parody. And it's surprised by its competitor's lack of humor. "They're in pretty good com pany. We make fun of Bill Clin ton, too," said Mark Skapinker, president of Delrina. "Berkeley Breathed's style is to make fun of everyone," he said. "They should certainly be honored." Such flattery has gotten nowhere with Berkeley Systems. In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in San Francisco, it accuses Delrina of unfair competition and copyright and trademark infringement. Breathed was not named as a defendant, and damages were not specified in the lawsuit, which seeks an order to wipe the offend ing toasters from the screen. "Opus N' Bill" is among the latest screen-saver software, pro grams that float brief displays across monitors when computers lay idle, preventing images from burning into the screen. They are becoming increasing ly refined and entertaining, echo ing old movies and television pro grams as well as comic strips. Delrina's program features If animated sketches based on Breathed's wackily irreverent strips "Bloom County" and "Outland." They include the demented Bill the Cat in a White House fling with first cat Socks, and parodies of President Clinton and Mi crosoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates. 1993 LfiDY AGGIE SOCCER OUR FIRST HOME GAMES SATURDAY 3:30 VS. Oral Roberts 1 SUNDAY 12 NOON VS. Cen. Fla.
