Coogan, D' Addario and Steve Sansola; assistant dean of stu- dent activities and conferences, were holding a meeting in the SGA office around i :30 p.m. when a Marist security guard came in and asked Coogan to step outside.

"At no time did they ask my name," Coogan said. "I asked them twice if they had the same guy." Coogan was put in a squad car behind Champagnat, but at the last minute another security guard stopped the police ..

Dude gives his final foodfeview for The Circle TOMNARDI Food Dude · Wow, here we are, the last is- sue of The Circle for this aca- demic year. I have completed my four year sentence (uh .. .I mean my four years of learning) and it is now time for Mari st to hand over that diploma. After my two week hiatus I am back with one last food review. Now that the year is over I fig- ure itwould be a great time to . look back and pick my favorite restaurants. If money were no object, Caesar's in Poughkeepsie \l{ould win harids down. Their Italian food is excellent. With price in m1nd I would have to say the Hyde Park Brewery and The Derby have been my two favor- ite eateries around here. Both have delicious food at reason- able prices. Make sure to check them out before you leave Poughkeepsie. I know I am go- ing to spend most of Senior Week up at the Hyde Park Brew- ery. I also suggest checking out the bars of New Paltz before you leaveMarist. i know it is a 20 minute drive, but it is well worth it. New Paltz is a real college town, ·with · a · half dozen or so ' ,i,;• bars located . right next to each other. The bars are much cooler than anything you can find in Poughkeepsie. Anyway, on to the last food review of the year. Bugaboo Creek. located on Route 9 just south of the Poughkeepsie Galleria. is a steakhouse t~at resembles a Canadian Ski Lodge. A talking pine tree greets guests \vheri they first walk in. The tree is on a timer. Every IO mimttes or so it comes to life and begins talk- ing. (Through out my meal this little boy kept screaming for the tree to come alive and talk). There are also a bunch of talk- ing animals. Over the bar is a large Moosehead that comes alive and tells the story of Buga- boo Creek. The brightly lit res- taurant truly gives you the feel- ing you are in a ski resort. __ It is . worth it to . go to Bugaboo Creek just for the atmosphere, , . I was disappointed by their lim- ited menu. The last time I had been to Bugaboo (which was over a year ago) I remembered a much more extensive menu. I did not see any vegetarian items listed on the menu. This is very surpnsmg, even for a steakhouse. One dish, Trapper Pete's chicken pasta, can prob- ably be ordered without the chicken. For the most p:.trt they had the usual steakhouse menu · fare: a couple of different kinds of steaks. ribs. pork chops. some chicken. and shrimp dishes. Last time I was there I remem- ber ordering a sampler type ap- petizer: I would have liked to order it again. but I did not see it on the menu. So instead I or- dered the snowbird chicken ($5.79) which is an overwhelm- ing plate of chicken strips. The chicken is deep-fried until it is golden brown and crispy. . Honey mustard and BBQ sauce are served on the side. The por- tion is definitely enough for a couple of people to share. For my entrees I ordered a blackened trout ($9.99). The fish was well seasoned. crispy on the outside and light and flaky on the inside. The menu said all entrees come with a choice of side dishes. My server did not bother to ask me what side dish I would like. she just gave me their garlic mash potatoes. I probably would have ordered them anyway. but she should have asked. I also had the opportunity to try the Cariboo chicken ($9.99) which is a grilled chicken breast smothered in ham, cheddar and jack cheese. Next time I go hack I will prohably go fi.1r lunch. I want to try their Salmon River dub ($7.-49). which is a grilled lilet of salmon served on an t1versized roll. Their Moosebreath burger ($5.99) would also make a great choice for lunch. This burger. served on an english muflin is topped with sautccd mushrooms. If you arc looking for some- thing lighter you can try their Steak Caesar salad ($7 A9). This Caesar salad consists of romai11c lettuce and tender strips of steak. For dessert I tried the apple crisp ($3.99) which is served with a side of vanilla ice cream. The dessert. made with rnisins. is very good. Also on the des- sert menu is a Monster Brownie pie ($4.99) which is also served with two scoops of ice cre.1111. To help wash down your meal Bugahoo Creek has an extc11sive hce~· list. The heers arc grouped together hy style. This is great for people who w,mt to 1,y some- thing new. hut arc not sure if they will like it. You can li11d a beer you enjoy and then pick another one in the same cat- egory. Even if you just order soda you will he impressed he- cause beverages arc served in large m.1son jars. S~rYke wii"s prelly good. The waitress was li·iendly. She spent mosl of her lime hiding in 1he kitchen. She was prohahly cleaning up since it was almost closing lime. Overall. I give Bugaboo four stars. The food is Ycry good. Prices. while a little pricey for college students. arc fair com- pared 10 other steak houses. Check the Sunday paper ewry so ol"lcn. they pul in coupons. Bugaboo is definitely a place you shoultl check oul at kast once while you arc al Maris!. Well I have had a grcal time writing these reviews this year. I hope you have all enjoyed thcm ... actually I do not care if you enjoyed them. I jusl hope you read 1hc1i1. I l'cel I should end my tenure as food dude by giving some advice lo cvcryom: ~mt 1l;ere especially the seniors who arc graduating . Bui I do not think that anyone would want advit:c from someone whose only joh he has lined up involves standing on Market Street with a squeegee and a hottlc or Windex. So on that note. best or luck lo everyone. STDs: A hidden problem at Marist College ~A~~O • , : . .-Staff Writer · . · Young people may be itching and flaring more than ever as a result _ of some of their behav- iors. · The sexual behavior of young people has brought the rat _ e of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to an an time high, ac- cording·tci,a study ; qone by The Alan Guttmacher1nstitute. The study shows an estimated _ 12 million new sexuaHy transmitted diseases _ occur every year; two- thirds of these are among men and women under the age of 25. The Institute cites risky behav- ior and lack of education as the causes of the number of STDs . among this age group. Jane O'Brien, direc _ tor of Health Services at Marist Col- lege, said she believes the in- crease is due to the nonchalant attitude of young people. "The don ' t think that it will affect_ tbem and . do not protect . , · themselves,":~he said. , "', According _ to . the Harvard AIDS /n.i;tiiute, one in four new STD infections in the U.S. oc- curs in people younger than · 22. Education about STDs and · HIV is one methpd that has shown to have an effect. According to the Rural Cen- ter for AIDS/STD . Prevention, young people that received edu- cation about sex and STDswere either less likely to engage in sex, or more likely to have safe sex if they did have sex. "At Marist, we encourage stu- dents to educate other students about STDs. One way that this is done is through Peer educa- tion groups," said O'B _ rien. Although O'Brien advocates this approach, some students, like Jackie Fitzpatrick, disagree. Fitzpatrick, member of the HIV/ AIDS Peer Educator group, said this approach is not always best. . "A lot of times, students don· t _ . show up tb ' the · sessions or-lee- : tures that we sponsor. This makes them ineffective," she said. · Seeing the reality in the issue is a key factor in the education process, says O'Brien. "STDs and HIV don"t seem to be a reality for students. It only becomes real when someone else who actually has a STD or HIV speak~ to them," she said. According to Planned Parent- hood of Poughkeepsie, there are between 485 to 970 HIV ill- nesses . in Dutchess County. Besides this, more than 97,000 people in Dutchess County have engaged in some form of HIV risk behavior, but have not become ill as ofyet. Carolyn Beck, sophomore, does not see STDs as a reality on campus. "I, like many others, don't · think of anyone here on cam- pus as having a STD," she said. Top 1en Ways to Procrastinate IO.

Some students. such as Heidi Bock. said they <.lo not believe there is any education about STDs available on campus. "There isn" t any education available about the topic on campus that I have seen or heard. Maybe if there were, people might change some of their behaviors," she said. O'Brien said she feels there is adequate information given out. "If students come to us about questions about STDs, we will give them accurate and honest answers," said O'Brien. Besides one-on-one personal questions, Health Services also provides pamphlets in the wait- ing area for students who may be too shy to ask questions, said O'Brien. According to O'Brien, if a stu- dent has a more urgent problem or question, he or she is referred to St. Francis Hospital, Planned Parenthood, or the Dutchess County Department of Health. Limi\cd \cs\ing, is a\s~) done al Maris! through Heallh · Ser-· vices. The specimens :ire taken to St. Francis Hospital and then the results arc sent hack to Health Services.

There are so many memories, ranging from very good to very bad; I am almost afraid that when I leave here, I might not be able to take them all with me. · I remember coming in as a scared freshmen, so excited, but so nervous; about my roommate, leaving my friends from home, classes, and wondering about the whole social life at college, and if I would be able to handle it alL My roommate turned out to be one of my best friends, I fell into the routine of classes, I kept in touch with the "important" people from home, and I certainly fell in love with the social life. My sophomore year, I learned the meaning of true friendship. My mom was very sick, and I was going through a lot of really hard things. My friends were there for me through all of it, when I was sobbing hysterically, and when I just did not know if I could handle what life was dealing me, they were there. I learned one of the most important lessons of college that year; you need your friends, they are one of the most important aspects oflife. Even just one good friend can make a major difference in your life. My junior year was very fun and s_tressful at the same time. My classes got harder, but I found my niche at Marist. I became really involved in the paper and in PEOPLE, and found where my favorite places to hang out. were located (even though The NiteCap burned down one night...). I started to worry about interning and work, but kept in mind I had one more year left, so I should not freak out too much. Now it is the end of my .senior year, which has been great. My friends mean more to me than anything, [ have been in a solidrelationship for over a year and a half, and I feel that I have accomplished more than I ever thought I would. However, all of this excitement is overshadowed by the inevitable; I am about to graduate and face the REAL WORLD in less than a month. A job, moving out of my house, all of these things are about to fall upon me so soon, ready or not. I have to put faith in the education and experience I have learned here, as well as the faith I have to put in myself. I have to trust that I have learned enough during these four years that I can make it outside the security guard-protected world of Marist. The final advice I can give is really to make the most of every moment spent here. Cherish your friends, your lovers, even your classes. All of the things you may encounter here will affect you, and make you a stronger person, even if it feels Hke you are going through hell at the same time. Things will get better, and you will learn from every experience. I mean, where else can you eat quality Sodexho food, encounter pleasant entry officers who demand you swipe a card to enter your home, have your car broken into, or get to breathe in that clean, crisp "Marist" smell? Stephanie Mercurio is the Editor-in-Chief for The Circle Quote of the.Week: . . "Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs. in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind; the loveliness that drapes your purestthoughts, for out of them will grow delightful condi- • tions, all heavenly environment, of those if if you but remain true to them your world will at last be built." · · James Allen The View from Sue ...

Letter to the Editor Student offended by comment in newspaper To the Editor: When I opened up the April 23 issue of The Circle, I was apalled to see a box at the bottom of page 6 containing the following message to Circle readers: "Notice to all readers: Since no on has responded to our requests throughout this school year, The Circle is no longer looking for opinion writers. Thanks for nothing." If this newspaper is trying to establish any sort of credibility with the students of Marist College, as well as any other readers The Circle may have, it has failed miserably. .. . , If you'll recall, the role of the media, including newspapers, isto present, to the best of its ability, an unbiased and impartial view of the world. Granted, the Editorial page is a special ~ection designated· for voicing one's opinion .. However; it is not intended for the newspaper itself to present opinions.

Cavallari Classof2001 Marist security ui;ider · scrutiny ~again Tothe Editor: Marist security, a topic of frequent discussion, often scrutinized by students and I believe it's well deserved. All of us· are· quite aware of the area we live in, Poughkeepsie, and its history. · If the students are so weH · informed why isn't Marist Secllrity or clo they cho()se to_ be so ignorant? Let me cite my examples after ma!dng su_ch a claim. . . ... · . .. . .. -.·.· . • . · - • .. . ... · • . .. -. . ... ·. · . · - I have read in The Circle_ many times about break~ins occurringin the various parking lots but lllOstfrequentlyin B~ck, Bt!ckisthe parkingloracross rollte 9, . dimly lit; in a seedy area;_ completely open to ·anyone who wishes to · walk through it, but _ worstof all a fotal .lack of security.

Another example of their inability tci fu!fill the role in which we pay them to do occurred last week. My friend'scar battery was dead;she had asked Marist Security to help her jump-start it but they declined saying they could not help her. Have you ever looked anhe. front of orie of the Mari st Security vehicles, most of them have a small box · in which they attach cables to jump start cars easier,!' m so glad they are putting tllat to good use. Instead of getting someone to help my friend, they told her to take a walk down route 9 and get a tow truck, that statement alone shines a very bright light on a fault of Marist Security. I do not attack Mari st Security for a mistake th_ey may have made, I do attack Marist Security for their repeated mistakes and faults and their very little attempt at resolving them. Joe Heuneman .. 1)m ~IRC~E OPINION April 30, 1998. Riding a train home ~ith a fish may b; an odd sort dthi11g.: I admit. it is somewhat reminis- cent of. that 1991 Bill Murray pseudo-classic comedy. ··What About Bob?" when Bob (Bill Mmrc.1y) brings his goldfish. Gill. on a bus trip from New York City to Lake Winnapisauki. New Hampshire. in a desperate at- tempt to find his vacationing shrink. . . Apparently. my parents drew more parallels between Bob and me than just that we took public transportation in the company of a goldfish. I called my house recently. and my sister asked what happened to my goldfish, Kingsley. I re- minded her that I did not have the blighted little thing over spring break. I was not even particularly aware of the absence of Kingsley. However, I did re- member the absence of commen- tary from shoeshine guys and Mid Westerners as I walked from Grand Central to the Port Au- thority in regards to mi fish, but that was almost a good thing. Anyway, I told my sister that Kingsley was long dead and asked her why this had not come up during spring break. She ex- plained that my parents did not want to upset me, so she was told not to mention the fish, sitice his absence was Qbvi- ously dlie to his rather timely death. She even said that my mother refrained from purchasing a goldfish-adorned shower cur- tain. because she feared that I would somehllW be traumatized by the likeness of my dead fish printed on translucent vinyl. Maybe the curtain's pi·oximity to a toilet was a factor in her de- cision. But even if that was the case. I began to wonder: Docs everyone perceive me as THAT neurotic and excessively emo- tional orjust my immediate fam- ily"? · I admit that I did gel upset when my hamster died. hut I was eleven at the time. I wanted a hamster more than anything. but no amount of begging could persuade my parents that buy- ing a rodent for a pet was a good idea. So. I changed the words to the folk classic. ··1r I had a Hammer·· to. yes. "If I Had a Hamster:· I! was rather cheesy and bor- derline obnoxious. even for a ten-year-old.

Maybe my parents still sec me as that traumatized clcvcn-year- old. Or maybe they do just think that I am completely out or my mind. Either way. it is probably rather sad that I devoted this last column or the Spring Semester to my dead fish. Yes. I doubt it docs him justice ... Tara Q11i1111 is The Circle'.,· Hu- mor Col11m11ist and <~ffers her condole11ces to all those who have experienced the trauma of dead fish over the corpse - er- course of the semester. A small vent about what should be a small issue . . Due to the very untimely hos- pit~!~z~~i?~. ~f 9~f 9pin.ion,,e,d~.- tor, I was left with a small space to fi\Un his absence. However,. there is a perfect issue that I would like to .discuss. In the very well put together Inner Circle, ·there is an article about.the Mccann fitness cen- ter, and how John Poitras is not allowing students to wear any other college clothing. Poitras enforces this rule by berating , students in front of their peers, and completely embarrasses them .. This apparantly is done to pro- mote school spirit. Hmmm .. .let us all think ahout that. W.hen sqme.one belittles you in front of your friends and peers, that is really going to make you love everything they stand for. In this case, that would be Marist College. What if President Murray went to work out at the gym, and wore a t-shirt with his college alma matter on the front. Would Poitras scream at him and make him leave? I doubt it. I think that if Poitras came to me; and demanded l leave the gym because I happened to he wearing my last clean t-shirt, which happened to he a SUNY Bii1ghanllon shirt. l .~ould tell him to jump off the Mid-Hudson bridge. In conclusion. wear whatever you want to wear. I have a lot or love for this school. hut if I have no clean Marist clothes. I will wear whatever I want lo. I highly doubt that screaming and scold- ing will boost pride and moral in our school. Stephanie Mercurio loves the new gym, especially when wearing her brand new Siena jump.mil.

Even if you have to take an occasional summer or winter class, spend less time with your friends, or even if it means a grueling commute into Manhattan, you are truly miss- ing out on a valuable part of your education if you do not have any field experience. Although I got my internships myself, I imagine that there are on-campus resources that can be·of some assistance with in- ternships. Although there were none that were of any help to me, but maybe you can find something. Finding something is actually one of the most important things tha( you have to do here at Marist. You need to find some- thing that you want to do. I was miserable during freshmen year, largely because I did nm do any- thing. I was not actively in- volved with any clubs or orga- nizations here on campus, and it definitely detracted from the experience and my overall feel- ing about the college. By sophomore year, I was in- volved with both MCCTA's The HuMarists and the lillle gem that you are reading right now. I had such a belier time at this school. and I felt that I had let the entire year slip through my fingers. So, and I know it has been said be- fore. you really do need to get involved. Most importantly, find something that makes you happy; something you enjoy doing. If anyone else has ever enjoyed anything that I have done with either the HuMarists or The Circle, that is a wonder- ful bonus. Whal mallers to me is that I have had a blast these past three years because of the people involved, and I thank them for always making time for my shenanigans. More impor- tantly, though, I enjoyed my ex- tra-curricular activities simply because I had fun with them. If there is something that you have really wamed lo do. but have not. whether it he acting. singing or helping those less fortunate than yourself. you should make an effort lo do something about it in the fall. No matter what year you are. it is never too late to make the most of your time here. Once you start getting involved with the school, you realize just how much it has to offer.

Opinion editor warmly welcomes writers -by TARA QUINN Opinion Editor I was first drawn to the opin- ion section because l figured that not too many people would - . be interested in it,- so I would have a better shot _at writing for the paper on a fairly regular ba- sis. 1 was a freshman at the time, and thought that the grass was more respected by students at Marist College than the incom- · ing class. Now I realize that is only true if one believes it. Anyway, I was under the im- pression that the Opinion Sec- tion was an underdog of sorts. Features is neat, News is infor- mative, Arts and Entertainment is artsy, and Sports is, well, ath- letic: B_ut really, who has an opinion? Everyone. The Opinion Section is such a great thing. It involves little re- search and few sources. It is all you; the writer. Collectively, the section is a forum for expression of the concerns of Marist Col- lege students. It has been said that the Marist student body is apathetic. That is not entirely true. All students believe and are concerned about something. Whether it is their families, a disturbed friend, mak ~ ipg happy hour, or saving the whales, we all have_ priorities . -Sometimes it may seem like col- lege is the threshold to our lives. Sometimes it may seem that this is our last chance to be kids. Sometimes it feels like we can not make a difference. Sharing concerns that may affect all of us can make a difference. We, the students, are Marist College. That _may sound cheesy, but Marist is not a con- centration of buildings, lawns, and parking lots on the banks of the Hudson. Okay, so it is, but it is also students, working with the faculty and staff that make Marist whatit is. The Opinion Section has al- ways welcomed the concerns of all students. Maybe I am stat- ing the obvious. I do not know about everyone else, but every so often, I need to be reminded of the obvious. - This section is losing two of its regular writers to graduation. The Circle welcomes new and innova_tive writers. Why not write a little something? (Note that our irregular writers were unable to contribute, primarily due to the ineffectiveness of Metamucil). So, be proud of your school, the school that you chose, and respectively chose you, to at- tend. Everyihing you do is a reflection of your school. In turn, everything that Marist College does is a reflection of you. An opinion editor is a bit of a misnomer. He or she does not edit opinions. As next year's Opinion Editor, I plan to make that my slogan. Well, either that or something a little like that old Anchor Bank commercial. You know, "She's your opinion edi- tor, she understands." Or maybe not. It will be tough to shake off four semesters of being the humor columnist. Though, my resignation may be deemed to be a marvelous act of God to some, to others, merely a good thing.
