Iowa City’s paranormal history — past and present — takes center stage this Halloween.

By JASMINE PUTNEY [email protected]

Fear can be packaged in many forms: the pages of a scary book, an urban legend, a room adorned with fake cobwebs and strobe lights, even a mere bump in the night. From old medical school cadav- er photos to haunted dorms to the Black Angel, Iowa City history and culture is punctuated by the scary, supernatural, or just plain creepy, and some local organizations are embracing this tradition for Halloween weekend. While downtown drink specials and dime-store costumes will be aplenty, the streets, structures, and even library books of Iowa City offer a more subtle — and chilling — celebration of Oct. 31. Browsing ghostly artifacts Today from noon to 4 p.m. at the Main Library, Special Collections will host the Ghosts in the Stacks, providing members of the community the opportunity to view spooky stories, legends, artifacts and to enjoy free popcorn. Ghosts in the Stacks began in 2007, and it has occurred intermittently in the years since. Coordi- nator Kelly Grogg said the event proves the library holds more than tomes and journal articles. “The collections we have constantly surprise me,” she said. “That we have books on witchcraft, some of the original Nancy Drew books, a vast array of works by Edgar Allen Poe, and a map of all the ship- wrecks that took place on Lake Michigan isn’t al- ways common knowledge, but it should be.” Some of the items featured at the event are de- cades — if not centuries — old and may have a ghostly undertone. “[Special Collections] give us firsthand accounts of times that might otherwise be forgotten,” Grogg said. “It’s such a unique experience to hold a docu- ment in your hands that has existed for hundreds of years. And while it’s really thrilling to read a letter from a soldier who wrote his wife during the Civil War, it also provides this eerie experience, because you know that person probably never thought people would read the letter more than 100 of years later.” Not only did Special Collections staff members look for historically meaningful items, but Grogg said they also selected artifacts that were cool and creepy to look at. “We have plasters of people’s faces, pictures of ca-

Halloween Need- to-Know Week - Mummies:

• A mummy is a corpse whose skin and flesh have been pre- served by exposure to chemicals or extreme coldness, dryness, or airlessness. Famous mummies include Tutankhamen, Seti I, and Bruce Jenner. • Egyptian mummification involved many complex rituals, such as removing the brain and pickling the organs. The brain was considered useless and discarded, whereas the pickled organs went great with a club sandwich. • Scientists have dated mummies as old as 5,300 years, and while I’m all for sexual freedom, that takes the geriat- ric fetish a little too far. • Ötzi the Iceman is the name of a natural mummy found in Italy in 1991. Sci- entists have ascertained that “Ötzi” suffered from various medical conditions: osteoporo- sis, intestinal parasites, and … oh, yeah … death. • They also have mummies in Central America … or at today’s events least they did until El Santo obliterated them all with pile drivers and reverse suplexes. • Ghosts in the Stacks, noon-4 p.m., Main Library • Guardians of the Galaxy, Campus Activities Board, • Some people think that Learning Commons Group Area D 8 & 11 p.m., IMU Iowa Theater “classic” mummies all carry a • Pharmacology Graduate Student Workshop, • The Maze, 8 p.m., IMU Main Lounge curse.

Thursday, October 30, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Looking for fights will bring no solace. Being too sensitive or critical will lead to disappointment. Get out, and explore avenues of interest that will take your mind off what troubles you. Help- ing others can heal your despair. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get involved in helping others, and you will feel good about your accomplishments. Love is highlighted by an emotional incident. Turn any negative you face into a positive, and keep moving forward without regret. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make positive changes at home by doing some renovations or redecorating. If you opt to do the work yourself and stick to a budget, you’ll have money left over to celebrate your accom- plishment. Entice someone you love to check out your new digs. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t make assumptions — go directly to the source and ask questions. It’s better to know the truth than to remain uncertain. If you need a moment to sort through the information, find a unique place geared toward peace and quiet. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do whatever it takes to finish what you start. You will be criticized if you don’t live up to expectations made by older, more experienced individuals. What you do now can make a difference to what is offered later. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A greater interest in your background, friend- ships, or community connections will develop if you are a participant. Learning about your past through the eyes of those who have known you a long time will give you the wisdom to make good choices. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Discuss wastefulness and budgeting with those who affect your standard of living through poor spending habits. Not everyone will be happy with your plan to conserve, but it’s a good place to start easing your stress. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Ask for support accomplishing your goals. Take a different approach to the way you live, and consider whether your current location is good for you. You’ll receive stellar advice if you listen to someone with experience and insight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Adventure, excitement, and new begin- nings will occupy your mind. Look for opportunities that will entice you and you will discover new challenges and fresh opportunities. An open mind will lead to an interesting proposal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look for an unusual route, and you will find your way past an obstacle that’s standing in your way. If talks haven’t worked lately, you may need to move on and take action. Do your own thing, and don’t look back. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let anyone stifle your plans or pressure you to do things you don’t want to do. Focus on your personal, financial, medical, or legal positions. Do whatever will help you stabilize your life and not what someone else demands from you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Get involved in talks that encourage alli- ances with those heading in the same direction as you. There is much to gain if you put the past behind you and reach out to someone you had a falling out with. Someone you least expect to cooperate with may become your ally.

THE DAILY IOWAN’S STARTING FIVE*

Point Guard: Mike Gesell Shooting Guard: Josh Oglesby Small forward: Jarrod Uthoff Power forward: Aaron White Center: Adam Woodbury Points per game: 7.8 Points per game: 6.6 Points per game: 7.6 Points per game: 12.8 Points per game: 5.7 Rebounds per game: 2.0 Rebounds per game: 1.5 Rebounds per game: 4.6 Rebounds per game: 6.7 Rebounds per game: 3.9 Assists per game: 3.9 Assists per game: 1.3 Assists per game: 0.8 Assists per game: 1.8 Assists per game: 0.8

POWER RANKINGS

1. Wisconsin Badgers I’m truly frightened by Bo Ryan. As in, really, really fright- ened. It’s for that reason it is No. 1. That, and it is clearly the best team in the Big Ten.

2. Michigan State Spartans As I’m writing this I’m wearing my What Would Tom Izzo Do? wristband. He would put Sparty at 2 and then continue being awesome.

3. Ohio State Buckeyes Ohio State finds a way to be good pretty much every year. Speaking of which, is it too early for Thad Matta to begin recruiting Lebron James Jr.?

4. Nebraska Cornhuskers I’m all in on Tim Miles and Nebraskaball. And by that I mean I’m going to pick it fourth.

5. Michigan Wolverines Remember when Michigan lost one of its best players in Mitch McGary for all of last season, then advanced to the Elite Eight? Yeah, the Wolverines will miss Nik Stauskas, but they will live.

6. Illinios Fighting Illini Prediction: Illinois decides that charter buses and planes are too expensive; instead decide to fly their spaceship of an arena around to away games. Likelihood of this happening: (top) Iowa forward Jarrod Uthoff drives for a lay-up against Nebraska-Omaha in Carver-Hawkeye on Nov. 10, 2013.

Indiana Hoosiers 1/5/15 vs. Nebraska, 8 p.m., Carver-Hawkeye Arena* If you were banking on a sleeper team or one of my picks to go horribly wrong — as if only one will — it would be 1/8/15 vs. Michigan State, 6 p.m., Carver-Hawkeye Arena* Indiana.

Penn State Nittany Lions 1/24/15 at Purdue, 11 a.m., West Lafayette, Indiana* It has to be assumed that Penn State football coach James Franklin will show up to at least one game shirtless with 1/31/15 vs. Wisconsin, 11 a.m., Carver-Hawkeye Arena* his chest painted. It just has to. If he does, he’ll probably be 2/5/15 at Michigan, 6 p.m., Ann Arbor, Michigan* disappointed with what he sees. 2/8/15 vs. Maryland, 2:15 p.m., Carver-Hawkeye Arena* 2/12/15 vs. Minnesota, 6 p.m., Carver-Hawkeye Arena* 12.

Purdue Boilermakers 3/3/15 at Indiana, 6 p.m., Bloomington, Indiana* As much as I respect Matt Painter, I miss the days when I could see Gene Keady and his glorious comb-over on the 3/7/15 vs. Northwestern, TBA, Carver-Hawkeye Arena* sidelines.

The two were fairly evenly matched in terms of points (Olaseni’s 6.5 to Woodbury’s 5.7), but Olaseni had the edge, finishing at 12.8 per- cent. Head coach Fran McCaffery said both players will play in different situations this season, and they could be on the court at the same time. Because Olaseni only averaged 16.7 minutes per game last season, he didn’t qualify for the leaderboard in this category. His 16.2-percent clip matched that of Purdue’s A.J. Hammons, who played 25 minutes per game and ranked third in the league. Mike Gesell Assist/Turnover Ratio (first in the Big Ten, 12th in the NCAA) While McCaffery called on Gesell to score more this season (he averaged 7.8 points per game last year), the point guard took care of the ball very well last season. His backup, Anthony Clemmons, did not. His assist-to-turnover ratio came in at 1.89. After experiencing a significant decrease in minutes from his freshman year, Clemmons said he went back to Lansing, Michigan, and consid- ered his options. McCaffery praised him for his attitude during that time, saying a lot of play- ers in that position would have transferred. He lauded the backup’s work ethic since last Iowa center Gabriel Olaseni leaps for a dunk at the Black and Gold Blowout in Carver-Hawkeye on Oct. 25, 2013. (The Daily Iowan/ Margaret Kispert)
