Newark’s Halloween Parade

Newark's 68th annual Halloween parade took place on Sunday at 3 p.m. The parade marched down Main Street, starting at Main Street and Tyre Avenue and making its way to Main Street and College Avenue. The street was lined and crowded with kids in costume, patiently awaiting each passing float and parade participant. The parade featured local high school bands, vintage cars and Mayor Polly Sierer in costume as a parrot to lead the way.

RACHEL CURRY Senior Reporter

The upcoming election has had many within the university community on their toes during the 2016 year. Some students find comfort in apathy, others believe in party polarization and most are somewhere in-between. The question is, will the rhetoric used in the current presidential election affect college students’ long-term mentality? Ted Davis is a professor of political science at the university and has published works on race and politics. Davis says that while college-age students are the most impressionable, they are less likely to pay attention than those in their thirties or older. KIRK SMITH.

Coming from work in Wilmington, Angela Mswabuki brings a duffle bag into the room and drops it on the ground. She unzips it, and inside are neck and coin scarves in various colors - red, blue, yellow, orange, purple and green. Mswabuki, a senior, has been belly dancing for about six years, and half of the scarves are hers, while the rest belong to the Blue Hen Belly Dance Registered Student Organization. “My grandma signed me and my cousin up in junior year of high school,” Mswabuki says. “It was really fun, and I was like, ‘why not?’” Last spring, Mswabuki created the RSO Blue Hen Belly Dance, a dream she had since she was a freshmen. She says she always wanted to bring belly dance to the university but was too busy, until she was diagnosed with gastric cancer. Mswabuki says it gave her the down time she needed to create the club.

FALL TEAMS STORM INTO CAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

sports commentary 2016 World Series: A breath of fresh air for the MLB CARMINE Ol PALMA Staff Reporter

The 2016 MLB World Series matchup is exactly what true fans need: a breath of fresh air. The true MLB fan is not as apparent as it used to be. The country' used to bleed America’s pastime, which has now taken a backseat to the NFL and even the NBA in some scenarios. However, if even for a brief moment, that will all change thanks to this year’s World Series matchup. What puts this fall classic above others is the astonishing record it holds -- 176 combined years since either team has won the championship. This ensures that either team that takes the coveted trophy back to their city will be rewarding a truly loyal fan base. It’s evident that the Cubs’ fan base has stuck by them for countless losing seasons always grasping onto the phrase, “next year.” They’ve waited 108 years in anticipation for another championship parade — by and far the most years without a championship in the history of MLB.
