Halls To Be Haunted

Halloween in the Halls, the annual safe trick-or-treating program, will host dozens of children in the residence halls on October 29. The kids will dress up and trick-or-treat Missouri State residents, with the help of their Pumpkin Pal volunteer tour guide. Approximately seventy residents signed up to be a Pumpkin Pal, and over 400 rooms are participating in this program, making in one of the largest of the year. The children will be entertained with games, prizes, and refreshments in the Pumpkin Patch (located in the Blair-Shannon Grand Lounge).

Beat SIU And The Other Halls Too

Hall-a-palooza, a competition between residence halls, will take place at the October 25 football game against Southern Illinois University. Residents who attend the game will sign in with their building. The winner will be decided by which residence hall brings the most people, winning $100 for their hall council. The game starts at 1:30 pm.
