Halloween Parade Brings Little Ghosts, Goblins, to Rose Hill

Edwards' Parade played host on Saturday, Oct. 25 to a parade of children decked out in costumes as ninjas, knights, zombies, super heroes, and princesses.

The march around Edwards Parade and party that followed at O'Keefe Commons was sponsored by the Fordham University Association, which puts on events throughout the year for members of the faculty, staff and administration. There was a photo-op for all little goblins, fairy princesses, witches, and more in front of a haunted house backdrop.

All in all, a fitting gathering for a college campus that has long been rumored to be one of the most haunted in the country.

Feared Zombie Takeover of Rams Fitness and Rec

Zombies are expected to take over the Recreation and Fitness Center tomorrow, Oct. 31, 6:30 p.m. at Fordham's Rose Hill Campus, according to Sarah Bickford, administrator of Fitness and Recreation.

"Normally we have a hip hop fitness class, but instead we're doing the Michael Jackson Thriller dance," explained Bickford, who added that there will also be a Spooky Spin cycling class at 6 p.m. set to scary music.

"I'm hoping the students will come before they go out trick or treating," she said.

The session will be taped so that students will get a chance to post later.

The Halloween-themed event is part of Bickford's effort to focus on themed classes. She added that there are other holiday opportunities, such as seasonal meal planning with the Center's nutritionist, something she said is not always available in the real world.

Both the spin and dance classes are costume optional.
