Students create safe Halloween
■ Volunteers from several
student organizations gave
time for a children’s carnival

Tiny witches, fairies and vam
pires congregated in Agate Hall
Sunday for an event that Child Care
Coordinator Dennis Reynolds likes
to call a ‘fun-raiser.”
University child care centers in
cluding the EMU, Vivian Olum and
Spencer View Co-Op were invited
to participate in the Halloween Car
nival for University parents and
their children, as well as the public.
Several booths were set up to pro
vide a variety of Halloween events
aimed at preschool and toddler
aged children, Reynolds said. Activ
ities included a cupcake walk, neck
lace-making, face-painting and cre
ate-a-mask booths, among others.
EMU preschool attendee Amber
Cecil had a hard time picking her fa
vorite activity among face-painting,
cookie decorating and, of course,
getting candy. She said that the stu
dent volunteers are nice and was
glad that her mother brought her.
Students, teachers and parents
from the EMU Child Care Center
along with several University stu
dent groups volunteered at the
various booths at the festival.
Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa,
Pi Kappa Phi, Delta Sigma Phi and
the University’s baseball team
each had volunteers at the Hal
loween festival.
The carnival pulls the commu
nity together said Rebecca Bemert,
public relations intern for the
EMU Child Care Center.
“It’s important to bring students,
teachers and parents together,”
said Bemert, who is also a senior
English and psychology major.
This event shows the other side of
Halloween on campus, Bemert said.
“A lot of students aren’t taking
part in riots, they’re here volun
teering in a healthy, safe event that
promotes family,” she said.
When senior Rich Fay, a Univer
sity baseball team representative
asked his team to participate, he re
ceived a very positive response.
“Everyone remembers what it
was like to be this small and go to
Halloween carnivals,” Fay said.
