High 6& low 57, Halloween comes early for students Ten panhellenic sororities sponsor carnival for nearby 32nd Street School students. By CATHERINE LYONS Staff Writer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, princesses, Supermen and dinosaurs bounced across The How Friday, playing games, painting faces and racing through inflatable obstacle courses. Dozens of kindergartners and first-grad-ers took part in several different Halloween-themed stations at the annual Panhellenic Council Halloween Carnival. The children of nearby 32nd Street School enjoyed spooky games, bounce houses, face painting and cookie-decorating activities sponsored by all 10 PHC sorority chapters. Each house created a Halloween game, said Kristin Salaya, a senior majoring in communication and PHC vice president of community and public relations and chair of the event. The activities were set up in colorful booths on the lawns of the Alpha Delta Pi and Gamma Phi Beta sorority houses and the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity house, on the corner of 28th Street and University Avenue. Games included a witch-ring toss, a hula-hoop scarecrow toss, an insect-and-cauldren toss, a lightning-beanbag toss and candy fishing. The sorority and PHC volunteers managed each booth, helping the children fill their bags to the brims with a variety of candy and other treats. The young students rotated stations, switching from a bounce house, pizza and cookies at ADPi, to the gaming booths at ZBT, to more games, face painting and a bouncy obstacle course at Gamma Phi Beta.

Barack Obama, D-lll, on campus for a California Democratic Party rally, 11 days before voters go to the polls. The event was sponsored by Program Board’s Political Student Association. Students who did not get to stand on stage behind the candidates as a backdrop gathered around the park’s many bushes and shrubs, packed one against the other and held copies of Newsweek and Time — donning Obama’s face on the cover — high in the air: He was in town to promote his new book, “The Audacity of Hope,” but pre-emptively agreed to campaign for the Democratic Party and the Yes campaign for Proposition 87, all in and around USC. Every seatin the California African American Museum in Exposition Park was filled for the senator’s talk about his new book and his views on California and America. The audience was energized to see Obama, and it seemed everyone was whispering about the episode of “Meet the Press” eight days ago when the senator said he had not ruled out the idea of running for president. “The country's not as divided as our politics would make it seem,” he said. “If we can find those common knowledges and common ideals that cut across all our differences, and try to focus on common sense — practical, nonideological solutions to the problems we face — we’re not going I see Obama, page 6 I Joining forces.

The conference kicked off Friday afternoon with many different workshops on topics such as the crisis, in Darfur, sweatshop labor and hunger and housing issues.
