My eighteen year old daughter (away at college for her freshman year) is opting to go trick or treating with a friend from the area because the parties at her college will be characterized by excessive drinking and revealing costumes on the girls. My youngest stepdaughter says these tendencies also characterized college Halloween parties when she was at college about five years ago. Times have changed.

"Times have changed.

Have they, really? When I first was in college in 1963, Halloween parties involved excessive drinking and revealing costumes on the girls, too. I doubt that anything has changed all that much for college-aged people.
