Brandt urged physicians to become m~ore aggressive about screening and treating patients. "THE epidemiologic features of sexually transmitted diseases have *changed and the number of diseases categorized as sexually transmitted. las climbed drastically," he said in an Oditorial in this week's Journal of the 4merican Medical Associatin. 'The "baby boom" of the 1960s left a 'young adult boom" of the 1980s, he said. By 1984, the U.S. population bet- veen the ages of 18 and 29 years will peak at about 49 million. "Young adults in this age group ex- perience peak rate of .STD, and the pirojected increase in this population can be expected to fuel the STD e idemic throughout the next decade," he said. The Michigan Daily-Friday, October 22-Page 3 Theater costumes to be sold By BARBARA MISLE You could be the hit of your Halloween party in a black and silver lame bikini, complete with a matching visor, for only $5 if you visit the theater and drama department's annual costume sale today in the Frieze Building. For those who prefer a more conser- vative Halloween costume, there are silk and satin gowns from medieval times to the 18th century. Men can choose from Chinese robes to Greek armored chest plates which come complete with padded chests to simulate rippling muscles you might be lacking. THE ARMORED suits and fake chests are left over from this summer's production of "Androcles and the Lion," said Prof. Zelma Weisfeld, who is head of costumes design for the department. "Instead of casting good bodies for the play, we built bodies," she said. The lion costume from the play is also on sale for $50, Weisfeld ad- ded. Other costumes date back to plays in the 1950s, Weisfeld said. The depar- tment needs to get rid of them to make room for the new costumes continually being made in the department's costume design shop. Money from the sale will be used to buy teaching equipment such as man- nequins and material for students in the graduate costume design program, Weisfeld said. THE ORIGINAL intent for dressing up on Halloween was not for glamour, but to protect oneself from "evil spirits," explained Jim Coats, who has studied Halloween's history. All Hallows Day, on Nov. 1, was traditionally believed to free the spirits of dead souls to come and "spook" unexpecting townspeople, Coats said. Wearing a costume on All Hallow's Eve or Halloween was insurance that no evil demons would "get you." Although that tradition has faded, costumes are more popular now than ever, according to Jessica Kaercher, manager of Lucky Costumes on Main Street. Gorilla suits have been the store's main attraction this year, she said, with the "Sexy Witch" costume a close second. mw =mom r I Medical School Applicants.
