28 FALL Halloween Events benefiting charitable projects make Halloween Frightfully Fun I he sheet-shrouded furniture cast an eerie calm in the lobby of the aging building. Strangely-clad individuals greeted the guests as they entered then led them through the dimly-lighted rooms to the entrance of a Halloween adventure. A sign over the door warned, Abandon hope, • all ye who enter here. Over 300 brave souls ignored the sign and took the trip through Boyd Hall's annual haunted house. For the sixth year, the campus residence halls staff and interested stu- dents sponsored the event, proceeds to the United Way. The haunted house proved once again to be the highlight of campus Halloween events. Months of preparation and a lot of money went into the building of the seven-room adventure through the freshman women's hall. Mike Sims, head resident of Keeneland Hall, initiated the tradition along with Terry Strange, former Keenelend head resident when they were both undergraduates. We had ab ut 60 people who did everything from con- structing it to aeing in it, said Sims. And these were resi- dents from all over campus. The haunted house collected over $300 for the United Way. We bought around $250 in new props and equip- ment, Sims said, that can be used for years to come. Also on north campus the goblins gathered in Joe B. Hall Wildcat Lodge to entertain children of faculty and staff members. The haunted house was a project of the Little Sisters of the Lodge, who led groups of three to four child- ren through the basement, which was inhabited by Lodge residents dressed as such ghoulish favorites as Dracula, Frankenstein and the chainsaw murderer. continued on page 30 Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights?
