The University’s added restrictions for Halloween line up with trends at other state schools to localize their events.Raleigh Police is working with the University and Campus Police to restrict parking on campus and keep the Haunted Hillsborough Hike on a small scale. Most of the parking lots on campus will be accessible only to those with valid student IDs, a move that is similar to changes in Chapel Hill this year, according to Jonathan So, a junior in business management at UNC-Chapel Hill.”The main goal is to keep people from outside Chapel Hill out,” he said. After Halloween events on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill that drew in 80,000 students last year, the town has tried to cut down its festivities to keep it more local, and close earlier. “I’ve heard about people who were going to come from out of town but are not coming anymore,” So said. “The only thing I really think will change are people’s plans for coming from out of town.”So said he doubted many students would be going to other schools for Halloween. Campus Police will be manning posts with Raleigh Police to check IDs for parking, and all entrances to campus from Hillsborough Street, except Dan Allen Drive, will be inaccessible without an ID. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford had said after Franklin Street became unmanageable, the University wanted to avoid a similar situation by keeping people not affiliated with the University out. Kelly Young, a senior in recreational therapy at ECU, said Halloween events have declined in Greenville in recent years, but most people will still stay in town.”It’s been such a big thing for so long that most people are going to stay here,” she said. “We’ve been getting less people from out of town. It’s not what it used to be, but it’s still pretty crazy.”While there were little restrictions several years ago, Young said police presence has increased in downtown Greenville on Halloween, checking students for weapons. A lot of students avoid downtown activities because they are “a pain,” with streets blocked off and continued checkpoints. “It’s not in the safest neighborhood,” she said. Student Body President Jay Dawkins has supported the new Halloween restrictions, and said since they were announced he has heard some concerns from students. “I’ve heard a lot of underage students hesitate about going to the street,” he said. “I’ve heard people unsure about how they’ll get through campus.” Echoing the students from other schools, Dawkins said there will not be a big demand from other schools’ students to come to Hillsborough Street. “If it has a major effect, it will be that all campus residents will still have a place to park so that they’re not parking in neighborhoods,” he said.
