Annual Fright Night kicks off Halloween Creare invites the LMU community to enjoy their Halloween service event. Amanda Lopez Asst. News Editor @amandalo
Creare service organization’s annual Fright Night, an event that invites children from surrounding schools to visit LMU for Halloween festivities, will be held today in Sunken Garden from 3-6 p.m. Fright Night, which has taken place for at LMU over 20 years, is Creare’s annual philanthropy event. The event has been hosted by Campus Ministry in the past, but was taken over by Creare four years ago. Since then, Creare has hosted Fright Night, and last year it partnered with the Resident Housing Association (RHA) in the planning and organizing of the event. This year, over 300 elementary school students from nearby schools and centers like Urban Compass, Dolores Mission, Good Shepherd Shelter and 186th Street School will attend. Tonight’s Fright Night
will be different from those of past years, as there will be more schools, students and volunteers than ever before. McCall Richards, a senior dance major who is the Special Projects Chair for Creare, shared what LMU and the visiting children should expect from Fright Night. “The goal of Fright Night is to get the LMU student community together and encompass the Jesuit value of men and women with and for others. Fright Night invites children to our campus to enjoy a fun and safe Halloween,” she said. “These kids live and go to school in neighborhoods that are unsafe for them to have a traditional trick-or-treat Halloween. The LMU student community leads activities that promote creativity, learning and just plain old fun.” The kids will be able to participate in a variety of activities, including bobbing for apples, arts and crafts, a ring toss, coloring, potato sack races, mask making and a haunted mansion in the Center for Service and Action. Service organizations, Greek life, athletics and Campus Ministry will all have activity stations that promote creativity, learning See Fright Night | Page 3
The Lion’s Den reopened yesterday at 7:30 a.m. after being closed for two weeks. The Den was closed indefinitely two weeks ago pending the investigation of alcohol consumption on the job by student staff members. Students were notified of the closure with a sign on the door, and Director of Campus Recreation Trey Duval confirmed that the closure was due to the investigation. Duval explained that Campus Recreation would conduct interviews with all 53 student staff members during the closure in order to collect more information about the situation. Throughout the time that the Den was closed, Campus Recreation met with each student staff member individually, according to Duval. The interview process lasted until the end of last week; following this, authorities made a final decision about moving forward with the Den. Duval declined to comment on the employmen status of the student employees due to confidentiality reasons, but mentioned that a number of staff members were held accountable. Students were informed of the reopening of the Den through an update on the Lion’s Den Facebook page on Tuesday See Lion’s Den | Page 3
