Garvey Capital Times Staff As the fog rolls across Capital Campus this Halloween ! while you're all alone remember the tale I'm about to tell and heed my warning. This is a tale handed down from generation to generation of Penn State Harrisburg students that most people consider a mere legend. But, who really knows for sure. The legend tells of a cruel and evil professor who taught at PSH when it first opened its doors. Known now simply as the Bloody Professor, he was a very large man, bearing the scars of an EET experiment that went awry some twenty years earlier. This accident left the flesh on the left side of his face burnt so bad that the inside his eyesocket was visible for all to see. His dangling left eye was held in place only by charred flesh that was once his face. The professor would stay very late at A conference will be held for Penn State Harrisburg and HACC student club and organizationa representatives who have a strong interest in fproviding services to, the volunteer community.

The Professor would wait for an EET student to walk into the Lion's Den for some late night studying, not knowing what terror awaited them. The fiend would entice the student with such undeniable goodies as slide rulers and brand new pocket protectors. With a complete loss of will, the student is left helpless to the madman's every whim and desire. The ill-fated student, is then carried off into the dense darkness of the Engineering Lab while bone chilling screams echo throughout the night; and the student will never walk this earth again. One especially erie Halloween night, while the rain beat down like never before, one one unfortunate engineering student's car broke down and he sought the Olmsted Building for shelter from CAMPUS the storm The student was damp, cold and tired, but couldn't find a soul in the building. So he decided nobody would mind if he took a little nap, just until the storm was over. So he curled up against the Lion in the front of the building, not knowing what the cruel gods had in store for him. You may have guessed it was not long before the Bloody Professor was upon him salivating at the thought of another fresh young victim. The struggle was a short one, ending with the professor battering the student mercilessly about the head with an especially heavy T-square. He procceded to take the victims limp body back to his hiding place in the Engineering Lab. from 1 Gray speaks federal level, "Gray said. "We've heard about the 1000 points of light, but we have not seen the batteries to illuminate the lights." Gray's lecture ended with an opinion on public policy. He said, "If we are going to have the ability to face the next century, there are three things in public policy we must fight for and maintain: first our public policy must always call for justice; second, it must also insist for freedom; third, it must teach stewardship." Gray is responsible for the first of a series of "set-aside" provisions to require participation by minority and women business owners, historically black colleges and minority private agencies in the U.S. Agency for International Development's development assistance programs. He is also responsible for measures that have provided $lO million to minority business owners for bonding assistance in connection with transportation and highway projects. Gray is a leading spokesman on African policy. He authored the House version of the Anti-Apartheid Acts of 1985 and 1986.

All that was heard was an inhuman scream like noone had heard before or since. Now, most people believe that that was the end of the Bloody Professor. But there are others who believe he is hiding deep in the bowels of the Olmsted Building, waiting for his time to come again. When it does he will then cover the campus in search of victims For myself, I don't know what to believe. But, I do know that the twentieth anniversary of that horrible night is this Halloween. So I beg you stay close to your loved ones and don't wander too far that night. Because many strange noises have been heard coming from Olmsted.
