and providing local children with safe places to trick-or-treat on
Halloween night.
Nearly 250 residents at Preston Residential College will be
hosting a haunted house and Halloween show for trick-or-treaters
on Oct.30.
"It's fun. Everybody's getting really involved and ready to
dress up," Preston resident and Preston Service Committee
Chairman Isaac McCullum said.
Children from about 12 elementary schools, the USC Child
Development Center, YMCA and the Child Abuse and Neglect
Center, as well as the children of some faculty and custodians,
will be attending Preston's program.
"We had a good time last year," McCullum said. "We were sad
to see them (the children) go. That's why we've gotten more groups
this year to come out."
The South Area, including Patterson, Sims, Wade Hampton
and McClintock residence halls, will also be hosting underprivileged
children at a Halloween storytelling carnival and trick-or treating
on Halloween night.
"Ifll be a good opportunity for the children to have a safe place
