Tle dilapidated house, 331 N. 13th, its piin? pooling around darkened Windows, presents a foreboding students who rush by. Lincoln Southeast High School senior Roy Mueller and several friends are constructing a series of ghoulish exhibits within the house at an estimated expense of $500. The purpose is to provide a constructive activity for children and an amusing one for adults during Halloween, according to Mueller. Mueller said he doesn't think the house is haunted, though he said many of the squeaks in it are difficult to explain. "I don't like to work there alone at night," he said. He first became interested in the project when he worked on a similar exhibit for a junior high school. Last year Mueller and some of his friends built a "haunted house" on the second story of a downtown clothing store. Although publicity for the project consisted of only 30 posters, the group cleared $300 to use for this year. For his project, Mueller and others have constructed elaborate exhibits and made several complicated costumed figures. 'The realism gives you a sense of self-satisfaction," he said. Robert Carroll, manager of a dry-cleaning firm sponsoring the mansion, said the house was chosen because it is readily available. "It wouldn't surprise me if it isn't about to come down," he said. Stan Linnertz, manager of the property for Johnson Industries, said the house definitely would be torn down in the near future. Despite its condition, he said the community would regret the action later. Linnertz said the house has been vacant since it was sold by the Cotner School of Seligicn in 1971. The school used it for a boarding house ministerial and foreign students. Offices for Nebraskans For Peace also were housed there between 1969 and 1970. Previous to the schools ownership, the house was a private boarding house for UN L students. Linnertz also said he does not believe the house is haunted. According to him if it was haunted it might be the ghost of the class of 1926. If Nebraska Wesleyan can have a ghost, the University should be able to have one, he said. Although everyone involved with the house was hesitant to say that it haunted, rone could seriously deny that possibility. Generations of UNL students have been associated with it, from the raccoon-coat era on.
