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.
At this point, 13 different res
idence halls have volunteered to
participate in the program, in
cluding South Quad,
McClintock, Wade-Hampton, the
Roost, Sims, East Quad,
Capstone, Columbia Hall, Bates
West, the Towers, Patterson,
Preston Community and Maxcy
The Student
Judicial
Council will be
handing out
candy to the
children as
well. 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.

trick-or-treating program, contact
