This Halloween, do not conform to the traditional pumpkin uses. After carving a wicked witch, spooky-cat or Scooby Doo, take pumpkin uses a little further by using your scraps to cook some delicious recipes or show off your craft skills.

Around the country, thousands of hip-hop events are held where pursuing MCs, or masters of ceremonies, meet to flaunt their impromptu lyrics, poetry, and spoken word via the microphone and stage. For Ohio University, a college campus in the middle of nowhere, hip-hop seems like a forgotten art. Luckily, thanks to MCs like Liza Hill, a member of the Disfunc Family, and other Hip-Hop Congress members, hip-hop is present even in the hills of Appalachia.
