The University will limit access to the parking lots and streets it owns on campus Friday after 6 p.m., so that only students, faculty and staff with valid University IDs can enter. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford had said this type of measure would deter out-of-towners from coming to the Haunted Hillsborough Hike, and prevent an out-of-control situation like Chapel Hill has experienced on Halloween in recent years. “If you are planning to drive in to this event, it will be very difficult for you to find a place to park,” Stafford said in an article in Tuesday’s Technician. Campus Police will be working with Raleigh’s officers to man checkpoints across campus, checking IDs to “dissuade non-affiliated people from campus,” according to Capt. Jon Barnwell. Raleigh Police will have a zero tolerance policy toward any students committing violations, including underage drinking or possession of alcohol, on Hillsborough Street Friday. If a student receives a citation, or is arrested, it will also bring action from the Office of Student Conduct with a judicial hearing.
