Ohio University Prepared for City's Annual
Halloween Weekend
Ohio
University will continue its efforts to
provide a safe environment for its
students during Athens city's annual
Halloween event. Restrictions on visitors
to campus residence halls, parking on
campus and wristbands for easy
identification are all planned for the
Oct. 29 weekend. A successful campaign to
reduce vandalism and provide a safer
environment in 1998 prompted the
continuation of the measures, said Mike
Sostarich, interim vice president for
Student
Affairs.
"Halloween
has become something of a tradition in
Athens and while the focal point can too
often be alcohol consumption by our
students, we are resolved to intensify our
efforts to promote personal responsibility
and accountability," said Ohio University
President
Robert Glidden. "Our PATH
program
is designed to encourage personal
accountability, trust and honor and is
making progress in raising awareness of
consequences for one's actions. I am
confident our students will make wise and
appropriate choices during that
weekend."
