Orange, tubby, two triangular gouges for eyes, another for a nose and a banana-shaped mouth. One place in town opens its doors every Halloween to the more bizarre, creative and macabre genre of pumpkin creations and creators ? Goatfeathcr's in Five Points. "I just wanted to do something other than a costume contest," said owner Jeff Helsley, sitting at the large round table in the center of the quaint pub, sorting out flyers for the event, which takes place this Saturday. The flyers are orange and black with the most grisly looking pumpkin imaginable, seemingly ready to carve itself up with a knife and fork propped on cither side of it. "I want people to be a lot more creative," Helsley said. "And I want to promote people to enter." In this past year's contcst, there were 80 entries. "People who've never carved before will be surprised. People that never thought they'd win have walked away with money," he said. And speaking of money, there is $500 in prize money to be won and $250 for the first prize, $125 for second, $75 for third and $50 for the most innovative entry. There are some rules contestants must follow ? only one entry is allowed per person, the creation must be purely pumpkin (toothpicks, wire, Donate pif^[fg]i7gJf?^frg]ffaffarfaifaffgl[fg]| | 114 | IMPOR jg] Students wi @j NO 101 COURSES ll ONLY French.

"1 just want to see a lot of pumpkins," Helsley said. "People have created the most incrediblc stuff. Some have run the pumpkin through a garlic grinder to create the hair and roasted the seeds to use as beard SlUDDIC. "Once we had a sculpture in here that was 150 pounds. A couple of years ago two USC co-eds who had never touched a pumpkin before won. People should give it a shot," he said. To register, pumpkins must be brought to Goatfeather's between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Halloween, and judging will take place at midnight. Cookies and drinks will be provided for children until 7 p.m., and contestants need to be present in order to win. This will be Goatfeather's Fifth Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest, and it has made quite a name for itself. While Helsley was sorting his strange flyers, a couple peered inquisitively into the pub. "I don't see anything, dear," the lady said to the man. "Nope," the man replied. Helsley explained to them that the pumpkins would only be displayed on Saturday. "Oh, shucks," the lady said. "We're going out of town this weekend." "Well," the man said. "I guess we'll just have to come back a day early. I don't want to miss this."

Others might wish to meet a hero of stage and screen. For the past 10 years, I have been obsessed with a dream of my own: to see at least one of the truly great dinosaur rock bands in concert. This nast Mondav. mv dream came true when I saw Pink Floyd at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill. The roots of my obsession go back to seventh grade, when I was thrust into junior high and suddenly surrounded by "big kids." Aside from learning that girls were good for something other than throwing spitballs at, I learned there was more to feDjigjlfgj nai[BJi(gjfi?]ffg3nglffg]f[glff^| twin 8 P|^ii m IANGES !

As time went by, it became apparent to me that most of the bands I was listening to had either been broken up for years (such as The Doors and The Jimi Hendrix Experience) or were aging rapidy. I began to worry I might never see any of my musical gods perform live in concert. Thus began the long road to Chapel Hill, at times lined with death and disappointment. In ninth grade I gave $45 to one of the school burnouts who assured me she could get tickets for Pink Floyd's The ^//concert at Nassau Coliseum in New York.
