The campus community will play host to the kings, queens, knights and rooks of New York State’s collegiate chess as torrents of chess players At the second budget increase meeting on Oct. 23, the Student As- sociation approved Chess Club for an increase of $987 to alleviate part of the tournament costs. According to President of Chess Club senior James Hiltunen, the ma- jority of the increased funds will be delegated toward deterring the cost of $1,300 worth of prizes for tournament winners. These prizes are an attempt to attract students from other schools, in- cluding the University of Buffalo, University of Rochester, Cornell Uni- versity and Columbia University, as well as nine additional colleges the Chess Club invited. “With this tournament, what we really want to do is expand the Chess ALEX LYONS/PHOTO EDITOR Club by bringing in beginners and seeing if they really like chess,” Hil- Alpha Kappa Phi Sorority’s Haunted House is a yearly tradition that raises funds for the Bivonia Children’s tunen said.

Local historian spins spooky tales MAYA LUCYSHYN ASST. KNIGHTS’ LIFE EDITOR For those who enjoys a good haunt, Geneseo offers many super- natural tales. In fact, about 20 to 25 places in Geneseo are rumored to be haunted, according to Geneseo’s village historian David Parish. Parish, who worked in Milne Library for 25 years and has been the village historian since 1983, wrote a book titled Terrible Tales: Geneseo Ghosts and Livingston Legends. - toric homes” such as Wadsworth Homestead and through stories told by members of the town. Parish has been compiling stories ever since. “When I became involved with the museum, there was still an older generation in Geneseo that remembered stories, and you have to listen very carefully to what went back two, three generations,” Parish said. His personal favorite takes place on Lima Street, where a merchant was murdered while walking to meet his lover in 1830. Rumor has it that animals still get nervous walking in the place of his death, and a rosebush blooms every year in the spot where his lover was waiting for him - where he never arrived. As for the Geneseo campus, Monroe Hall is supposedly crawling with spirits, with numerous sightings and stories since the 1970s. Clean- ing staff members have often heard their names called, and two students have reported seeing ghosts inside of their dorm rooms. Some say the ghost is a student who fell in a hole and died while the hall was originally being built. “One of the theories is that, immediately to the west of Monroe, down the hill is an ancient Oneida cemetery,” and their spirits regularly inhabit Monroe, Parish said. Locations on Center Street, Lima Street and Main Street all have reported sightings of spirits, such as the Wadsworth Homestead and Big Tree Inn. Parish called himself “skeptical” about these stories, but said people “must keep their minds open.” Oct. 31, 2013 Ļ 5 ',)(5R51118Ļ ',)(8 )' 13 GOINGS ON Campus Organization Entertainment events

Halloweentown (1998)
ghost story, but I viewed charming throwback to childhood ritually every single year for quite some time. The Disney Channel original movie stars Debbie Reynolds as an eccentric grandmother living in the magical realm of Halloweentown, where goblins and ghouls frolic as regular citizens - and who can forget the hilarious wise- cracking skeleton cabdriver Benny? It’s always a pleasure to watch Aggie and the gang take on Kalabar, the human-hating mayor of Halloweentown. He’s a recurring antagonist who appears in the se- quel Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge as well. Just thinking about it makes me now, as a college student, want to go back to the days when I would curl up on the couch with my parents every Hal- loween season and watch this gem of a movie.
Hocus Pocus (1993)
Halloween isn’t complete without everyone’s favorite sister witches: Winifred, played by Bette Midler, Mary, played by Kathy Najimy, and Sarah, played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Their hilarious antics combined with Binx, the boy turned adorable immortal cat, and the slightly awkward young love of two heroic teenagers make Hocus Pocus a perfect Halloween move. Even after 20 years, the three witches’ quest to suck out the souls of young girls to regain their youth – while extremely creepy when it’s actually written out to zombies to a heart-wrenching death scene. Even if Hocus Pocus isn’t scary in the traditional sense, I’m sure it will be a Halloween comedy classic for years to come. Oct. 31, 2013 The Lamron | www.thelamron.com 17
