Student Union Offers Great Halloween Atmosphere For Families

Editors please note change in time for the haunted house. Halloween promises to be an evening of spirited fun and silly spooks at Boise State University. Student groups and TVTV are joining to morph the Student Union into a Nightmare on University Drive on the ghostly holiday, complete with decorations, treats and a haunted house. Participants are encouraged to come in costume. Here is a listing of the eerie events happening in the Student Union Friday, Oct. 31. All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise specified. Student Programs Board is hosting a carnival for children, 6-9 p.m. in the Jordan Ballroom. The carnival will include a jump house, music, treats, games, prizes and a costume parade. There will be a dance marathon from 6 p.m.-midnight in the Hatch Ballroom promoted by TVTV, broadcasted live on Channel 11. To participate in the Wicked Good Boogie and raise funds for TVTV, participants must raise at least $30 in pledges. Participants will receive a T-shirt and admittance into the event. Admission is $5 for students, $5 advance and $10 at the door for non-students, $15 per couple at the door, and $20 for families at the door.
