Luther students celebrate quiet Halloween weekend

Laptop Battery Halloween is notorious for mischief and scares, but this year's Halloween at Luther wasn't quite as scary as years past.

Not only do Luther students like working with the Wendlings, but the Wendlings also like working with Luther students. "We actively reached out to [Luther students], " said Wendling. "We employ half a dozen to a dozen Luther students and graduates. Some of the best servers we have have a Luther background." Other current Luther students who work at the Oaks include Jenny McCrary ('07), Jason Drahos ('08), Melissa Serres ('05) and Thaddaeus Morelock ('05).

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson.

Students of a west suburban elementary school in Chicago won't be allowed to wear Halloween costumes or enjoy their annual Halloween Parade this year. School officials felt that dressing in costumes was "no longer appropriate" for security reasons and because they don't want to exclude the students whose families don't celebrate Halloween. Sorry kiddies...doesn't sound like this bodes well for the jolly guy in the red and white costume!

Think Pad Students in Marty's weren't the only ones in costume this Halloween. There were a number of trick-or-treaters on and off campus looking for candy and even non-perishable food items.
