Students help out for Halloween BY IRA KLEIN THE GAMECOCK On Thursday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., a group of disadvantaged children from A.C. Moore Elementary School will be visit ing campus to go trick-or-treat ing at several USC residence halls. The program is being Spon sored jointly by RHA, participat ing hall governments and First Mentors, an organization that sends USC students to A.C. Moore Elementary School to mentor and assist students in need. Those who have physical or mental handi caps, need to overcome a language barrier, or simply have trouble learning can benefit from one-on one assistance. The trick-or-treating program is available to any student at A.C. Moore, not just those who partic ipate in the mentoring program, and is intended for students who might live in financially disad vantaged neighborhoods where trick-or-treating is unavailable or unsafe. "This is a really great program because it gives these children a chance to enjoy and celebrate Halloween, where they may not have been able to before,” said a third-year bi ology and eco nomics students who is in charge of the trick-or-treating program. “ In many of the neighborhoods where these kids live, it is not safe for them to be out at night trick ur-ireaimg. Daniels said the program pro vides the children with costumes as well as a place to trick-or-treat with safe candy and and individ uals who are “willing to answer their doors and give candy out to the kids.” Daniels says her organiza tion, First Mentors, sponsors this program every Halloween, and “This is really a great program because it gives these children a chance to enjoy and celebrate Halloween, where they may not have been able to before.” TRICIA DANIELS TRICK-OR-TREAT COORDINATOR also does a community service program with the A.C. Moore kids once each semester. Last semester they took a group to a USC women’s basketball game. The RHA presented the pro gram to each hall government and gave them the option of par ticipating.

On Thursday, the children will be taken to cam pus and will then be split up into groups, with each gxuup uu>n-ui-ucaimg un a uu* ferent section of campus. Terrill Wilkins, President of Maxcy College’s Hall Govern ment, says that participation is voluntary, and students who choose to participate will have a sticker placed on their door which indicates that the children can go there. All the students have to do is stay in their rooms from 3 until <1«OA*% nn TliliroHoxr ing candy to any child who knocks on their door. As incen tive to participate, students will 1 be allowed to keep any candy they have left over from the program. According to Kim Dressier, President of Hall Government in South Quad and former RHA President, the first floor in South Quad, called Carolina’s Global Community, where international and American students live to gether, will be participating in a door-decorating contest in which residents will decorate their doors with Halloween-themed motifs. The children who come through to trick-or-treat will decide the winner. "This program is just as good for us as it is for the children ... it’s a great way for people in the hall to get out and decorate to gether, getting to know one an- / other better in the process, and it gives the children an opportunity to have fun in a safe environment. The kids are cute, and it makes us smile to see them in their little cos tumes and to know that we’re helping them to have a great Halloween," Dressier said.
