Students Inquire at one of the 63 graduate school tables. This year's forum boasted 20 more schools than In previous years.
by ALEXIS FALZONE
Sta.ff Writer
On Wednesday, October 2, stu-
dents were initially disappointed
to find out that they could not
enjoy their usual lunch in the caba-
ret. Upon approaching the doors,
however, they realized that lunch
was a small price
to
pay for the
knowledge they were about to
receive.
The annual Graduate School Fo-
rum was held from 11 a.m. until 2
p.m. With 63 schools being repre-
sented, this was the largest forum
held to date at Marist.
Schools from across the East
Coast came to Poughkeepsie to
promote their graduate programs
to Marist students. Seton Hall Law
School, Long Island University,
New York University, Fairleigh
Dickinson University, New York
College of Podiatric Medicine,
along with many other schools,
attended the function.
Each representative was excep-
tionally attentive to the students.
They spent time reviewing required
grade point averages and LSAT
scores, as well as extra-curricular
activities which look impressive to
gradiwe schools.
Lacey Rottingen, a third year un-
dergraduate said, " I spoke to a Jot
of representatives from different
schools. It was very helpful, and I
definitely feel as though I have
more direction now than I had be-
fore. I wish I had gone earlier in my
college career."
The Office of Career Services
rep-
resentative, Lisa Kooperman said,
"The office was disappointed in the
tum out of students, only two-hun-
dred attended. It would be very
nice if in
future
years more students
took advantage of programs such
as these."
The main idea of these forums is
to help students plan their future
and take advantage of opportuni-
ties that are offered to them after
graduation.
Michael Sidoti, a fourth year un-
dergraduate said, "Attending the
forum was very helpful because it
gave me information about what
other schools have to offer in ref-
erence to expanding my education
after I graduate."
The Office of Career Services is
located on the third floor in the Ii:.
brary,

stop by for information about fu-
ture programs.

A car was broken into between the
hours of 11 :00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Thursday in the Beck Place East
parking lot. The thief smashed the
passenger side window and broke
into the glove box. Apparently the
owner of the car was also using
the glove box as a safety deposit
box as $190, various credit cards
and a debit card were stolen. The
town of Poughkeepsie police was
brought onto the scene. A devel-
opment in the case came one day
later when a security officer on
patrol found a wallet at the scene
of the crime belonging to the com-
plainant. The wallet had all of the
credit cards, driver's license and
one car key in it, but the $190 was
nowhere
to
be found. The owner
of the wallet was
notified
and
picked up their belongings later
that day.

granted permission to stay the
night but was forced to leave cam-

Leading the campus in alcohol
confiscations, the Champagnat
entry desk was the scene of an-
other bust leading to one more
unhappy, thirsty guest at about
12:30 a.m. The astute observations
of the entry officer on duty led to a
search of the guest's backpack,
uncovering 18 chilled, 12-ounce
cans of Coors Original beer. The
guest was escorted to south en-
trance of campus without his
frosty brews. The entry officer had
no time to rest, though, because at
1: 10 am. the officer confiscated 24,
12-ounce cans ofNatural Ice beer.

While in route to the Midrise area,
a security patrol officer noticed a
of itslide back and forth. The ve-
hicle continued doing this the
length of the Mccann parking lot.
The driver then turned and at-
tempted to do doughnuts but came
to an abrupt stop when facing the
island. The patrol vehicle blocked
the Chevy off and told the driver
to
turn
his vehicle off. The driver
refused, hit the gas and went over
the island towards the exit. The
Chevy was blocked by another
patrol vehicle, though. The driver
drove west in Mccann going to-
wards the rear of Leo to Water
Works Rd. He then went up the
hill still making the vehicle's rear
slide back and forth. A
blockade
was attempted at the main en-
trance, but when the driver spot-
ted the obstacle, he drove over the
sidewalk and onto Rt. 9. The town
of Poughkeepsie police was called
and ran a check on the vehicle

ter the plate number was turned

the grounds is to be assessed, and
there will be
possible

Marist Singers perform for cancer benefit
by MARY FRITZ
Sta.ff Miter
The dreary weather did not stop
the Marist College Singers as they
proudly presented their second
annual Cancer Benefit Concert on
Thursday, October l
O
in Our Lady
Seat of Wisdom Chapel at Marist
College.
The concert was a success and
all proceeds benefited the Ameri-
can Cancer Society.
"[The concert] went really well.
We put so much work into this and
I am very happy with how it turned
out," said sophomore Antonella
Delli Carpini, Marist Singers Presi-
dent. Delli Carpini sang the only
solo of the evening with
"Allerseelen" or "All Soul's Day."
The music was an eclectic mix of
spiritual and uplifting songs sung
by both the Marist Singers and the
Marist Chamber Choir. The Marist
Flute Ensemble played "Brahm's
Lullaby" and accompanied the fi-
nal song "Let There Be Peace on
Earth" which the audience was
asked to sing'along with the Marist
Singers and Chamber Choir.
The only part of the concert that
did not consist of music was the
reading of Walt Whitman's poem
"Come Up from the Fields, Father"
by Marist Music Department Di-
rector,
Art Hirnmelburger
.
"Cancer all too often means
death," said Himmelburger, who
has lost a loved one to lung can-
cer. He chose Whitman's poem
because he feels that "it addresses
the human condition in all of its
facets."
Although the night was rainy and
cold, attendance this year was
much higher than the first Cancer
Benefit Concert. Thirty-five were
present for this year's concert,
much more than the previous
year's turn out.
"It was very entertaining
.
It
brought a light to the rainy night,"
said sophomore Jennifer Sargent.
Ed Robinson
,
a retired professor
from Union College, and a six-year
member of the Rhinebeck Choral
Club
,
said he enjoyed the concert
immensely
.
"
[I thought] it was marvelous
.
I
need to find out about more Marist
events so that I can come
.
Any-
thing that Marist does, I would
come to. They are
·
getting that
good."
Director Vicki Masters said con-
certs of this nature are important
for rising people's spirits.
"We did not choose a theme for
this concert. There is no great way
to celebrate sickness. It's impor-
tant to have uplifting music at con-
certs like these," said Masters who
plans to add more variety to next
year's concert, such as readings
pertaining to the cause.
Senior Sharon McNulty, former
president of the Marist Singers,
created the idea for this concert
as a way of raising cancer research
funds after losing a friend to leu-
kemia in December 2000.
"It
is wonderful to see such sup-
port from the community for such
a good cause.
It
means a lot to the
American Cancer Society and to
me," said McNulty.
Last year, the Cancer Benefit Con-
cert raised $450 and, this so far
year, $249 has been raised. If you
were not in attendance for this
event and would like to donate a
gift to the American Cancer Soci-
ety in hopes of finding a cure, you
may still do so by calling Sharon
McNulty at extension 5666.
The Marist College Singers
'
next
concert will be on Saturday, No-
.
vember 2 at 5 p.m. in the Cabaret to
present a variety show of Broad-
way-hits titled, "Singers Night on
Broadway
.
" Please call the Music
Department for tickets.
The Humarists back and getting ready for action
by KRISTIN AMUNDSON
Sta.ff Miter
DISCLAIMER
:
Anyone easily of-
fended,
please,
read on.
The HuMarists, Marist College's
on-campus improvisation and
sketch comedy group, are back.
One could simply call them " ...
vi-
sionaries." Now under the direc-
tion of Pat Brodfuehrer and Jon
Gabrus, this group
includes
Erin
Gardner, Tony Messina, Jeff
Perry,
Tim Caiazza, and Randy Green. By
the way, they are single
,
except
Randy, and insist that they are the
best
looking
club on campus.
The HuMarists perform one
show a semester, called "The Big
Show." They prepare forthis show
throughout the semester. This
year's show will be held on Tues-
day, December l 0. Each
perfor-
mance consists of
improvisation
and sketch comedy
.
In fact, audi-
ence
members
join in
on
some of
the games and everyone's favorite
-
the T-shirt give-away.
Of course, the HuMarists did not
disclose any of their secrets about
this year's show in the interview
.
The Big Show has packed the
Nelly Goletti Theatre every year.
The
HuMarists
definitely feel the
pressure each time they perform
.
Jon Gabrus admits this comic art is
not simple
.
"Everything you say that is not
funny, you get teased for," said
Gabrus.
The HuMarists try not to cater
to audience demands for obscen-
ity and crude remarks, but some-
times they have to bend a little.
Senior Erin Gardner admits she gets
exited to see the ~asse~ crowding
the Nelly Goletti Theatre. Crowds
usually begin lining up around 8
p.m. eager to see the stunts these
performers pull. Senior
Mike
Gemme calls "The Big Show" a
must-see campus event.
"Tony Messina is a comic ge-
rning!!!

nius," said Gemme. "The MARN
sketch is one of the funniest and
most appropriate sketches I've
ever seen."
Of course, not everyone is a fan.
At the beginning of the show, a
HuMarist
reads a disclaimer, warn-
ing anyone who may be over-sen-
sitive to the show's jokes to leave.
The HuMarists insist that all jok-
ing is ip. good
·
fun, but said that
some stay and are offended
by the
humorous reflections of campus
activities.
"No harm intended," said
Brodfuehrer.
"If
someone gets
pissed off, we hope they find hu-
mor somewhere along the road."
The members claim they joined
the group because tbey lost a bet,
they're
losers and for the sole goal
of being interviewed by
The
Circle.
In order to become a HuMarist,
a student must attend several
workshops and
try-outs.
This
year, the group accepted only two
newcomers.
Senior Erin Gardner still
remains the only female HuMarist.

Dear Circle
,
George
W.
Bush has had an im-
_
pact on us all since September 11
th
;
The War on Terrorism has begun
.
Yet, who is this war against? What
is this war for? This is a war against
terrorists and is a war on terror. We
all have seen the news and know
that basically at this moment in time
the AL Queda have been forced
out of Afganhastan. This is im-
portant because he needed to do
this to ensure justice from 9, 11.
However, is a war on terrorism
even logical? We have triwnphed
but terrorists still exist. Anyone at
any given time in any country can
become a terrorist. Just because the
biggest call for conflict is in the
Middle East doesn't mean we
should beat down the entire
Middle East to stop all future ter-
rorists. That would be impossible.
Then why is Bush still pushing a
war over there when we clearly
have defeated the Al Queda in
Afganhastan?
It
is about pride. He saved our
countries pride with the war on ter-
ror, but he doesn't know when to
stop. His next target, Saddam
Hussein and Iraq, shows that he is
not pushing just the pride of the
country but his own pride. They
should have stopped after beating
the Al Queda, but I believe Bush
wants to strive to beat Saddam;
something his father did not do.
He
·
is clever in the sense that he
hides his and our interests by us-
ing the idea that the UN treaties
were violated.
In
doing so it looks
more like an attack for his own
pride.
This is just a political mindset but
we do not realize that these politi-
cal games place lives needlessly at
risk. He is placing the lives of many
US Soldiers at risk by thinning out
the forces over there. Everyone
over here says, "Oh, we are not
going to war," or "There is no war
because it was not declared." Then
why have United States Army Re-
serves Combat Support Hospitals
been deployed over there? We are
over there because people are get-
ting shot up and both military and
civilian Americans
are
being hurt.
J:
say we because since 1998 I've
been
a
member of an Army Reserve
Combat Support Hospital. Also I'm
leaving Marist now having only
three semesters to go. I have to
leave because I was one of the
lucky ones to get deployed from
myunit. l'mreallylookingforward
to it, however I will try to live life to
its fullest prior tomy near leaving.

This letter was written in re-
sponse to last weeks article
about Poughkeepsie. The ar-
ticle was sent in without a
name and Sta.ff Writer Kevin
Coffey s name was mistakenly
put in instead.
Dear Circle,
In
his article, Kevin says that resi-
dents of Poughkeepsie are not
pleased with their living conditions
claiming to have been nearly
mugged 12 times in the
McDonald's drive through. How-
ever, it is true that Poughkeepsie is
one of, if not the worst city, in terms
of drug trafficking, in the Hudson
Valley. Nonetheless, Kevin's sar-
castic comments make him
appear ignorant and somewhat of
a coward. I've been to the
Main Street district in the City of
Poughkeepsie on numerous occa-
sions and have yet to been in
any type of confrontation or
trouble.
It
is undeniable that the
city has a drug trafficking
problem, but it is heavy only in
certain areas and street comers.
The
number
of pleasant
neighborhoods in Poughkeepsie
outnumbers the dangerous ones
by a landslide.
I tooam from New Jersey, but
foi:-
tunately for me, I've have been ex-
posed to different types of envi-
ronments and do not have the na-
ive idea that every neighborhood
should look like "Dawson's
Creek." When I first arrived at
Marist I was told, "do not go into
the City of Poughkeepsie, it's the
ghetto." I've been here two years
now. I have seen more of
Poughkeepsie than the average
graduate of Marist sees in his/her
four years here and yet, nothing
h_as happened. I advise everyone
not to presume or stereotype any
neighborhood.
I'll tell you what, if anyone wants
to see heavy drug trafficking, he
or she does not have to look
further than this very campus. The
difference between the dealers is
obvious, simple black and white.
Everyone gets nervous or afraid in
an environment that is totally
different from what they are used
to. But let's think about this criti-
cally, I've never been forced by
anyone to buy drugs of any
kind. Also, I know many people
who live in the pleasant
neighborhoods that Kevin de-
scribed whom use and abuse drugs
and never have to go into the City
of Poughkeepsie. Please don't be
ignorant.

Normal Heart: Great start for the Blackbox Theater
by JENNIFERHAGGERTY
Editor-in-Chief
Last Wed. and Thurs., Oct.
9
and
10,
students gathered in the
Blackbox Theater, for the stage
reading of
The Nonna/ Heart.
Spanning two hours with a short
intermission,
The Normal Heart
addressed AIDS in its early stages
inAmerica.
Matt Andrews, producer, said
that he chose this play to help edu-
cate and re-educated young people
of the severity of the AIDS epi-
demic.

"Students need to be safe and
smart in their personal lives," said
Andrews.
"It
may be one's right to
kill one's seif, but you have no right
to kill another person."
.
In
a time when the AIDS epidemic
is no longer covered in great detail
in the news,
The Nonna/ Heartre-
minded its audience of the drastic
results AIDS can have on human
life.
"We have become comfortable in
the U.S. with the cocktail drug,"
saidAndrews. "What people don't
realize is that there can be horrific
,...
---·
side effects to the drugs, and it has
an unproven track record. The
drugs delay full-blown AIDS. But
make no mistake about
it,
AIDS still
kills."
Nonna/Heart, being an autobio-
graphical play, was portrayed by
nine actors.
It
also proved to be a
good sel~ction for the blackbox.
The play spans the
y~ws
19&2-
84 with the rise of the deadly virus
in the U.S. Still untreatable and
unknown .at the time, the play
shows the severity of AIDS, mainly
in the homosexual community.
"It is a great
piece of theatre.
[It
is] well-writ-
ten and topical,"
said Andrews.
"Written in
1985,
it is both an his-
torical play and
one that is as

Students Inquire at one of the 63 graduate school tables. This year's forum boasted 20 more schools than In previous years.
by ALEXIS FALZONE
Sta.ff Writer
On Wednesday, October 2, stu-
dents were initially disappointed
to find out that they could not
enjoy their usual lunch in the caba-
ret. Upon approaching the doors,
however, they realized that lunch
was a small price
to
pay for the
knowledge they were about to
receive.
The annual Graduate School Fo-
rum was held from 11 a.m. until 2
p.m. With 63 schools being repre-
sented, this was the largest forum
held to date at Marist.
Schools from across the East
Coast came to Poughkeepsie to
promote their graduate programs
to Marist students. Seton Hall Law
School, Long Island University,
New York University, Fairleigh
Dickinson University, New York
College of Podiatric Medicine,
along with many other schools,
attended the function.
Each representative was excep-
tionally attentive to the students.
They spent time reviewing required
grade point averages and LSAT
scores, as well as extra-curricular
activities which look impressive to
gradiwe schools.
Lacey Rottingen, a third year un-
dergraduate said, " I spoke to a Jot
of representatives from different
schools. It was very helpful, and I
definitely feel as though I have
more direction now than I had be-
fore. I wish I had gone earlier in my
college career."
The Office of Career Services
rep-
resentative, Lisa Kooperman said,
"The office was disappointed in the
tum out of students, only two-hun-
dred attended. It would be very
nice if in
future
years more students
took advantage of programs such
as these."
The main idea of these forums is
to help students plan their future
and take advantage of opportuni-
ties that are offered to them after
graduation.
Michael Sidoti, a fourth year un-
dergraduate said, "Attending the
forum was very helpful because it
gave me information about what
other schools have to offer in ref-
erence to expanding my education
after I graduate."
The Office of Career Services is
located on the third floor in the Ii:.
brary,

stop by for information about fu-
ture programs.

A car was broken into between the
hours of 11 :00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Thursday in the Beck Place East
parking lot. The thief smashed the
passenger side window and broke
into the glove box. Apparently the
owner of the car was also using
the glove box as a safety deposit
box as $190, various credit cards
and a debit card were stolen. The
town of Poughkeepsie police was
brought onto the scene. A devel-
opment in the case came one day
later when a security officer on
patrol found a wallet at the scene
of the crime belonging to the com-
plainant. The wallet had all of the
credit cards, driver's license and
one car key in it, but the $190 was
nowhere
to
be found. The owner
of the wallet was
notified
and
picked up their belongings later
that day.

granted permission to stay the

Leading the campus in alcohol
confiscations, the Champagnat
entry desk was the scene of an-
other bust leading to one more
unhappy, thirsty guest at about
12:30 a.m. The astute observations
of the entry officer on duty led to a
search of the guest's backpack,
uncovering 18 chilled, 12-ounce
cans of Coors Original beer. The
guest was escorted to south en-
trance of campus without his
frosty brews. The entry officer had
no time to rest, though, because at
1: 10 am. the officer confiscated 24,
12-ounce cans ofNatural Ice beer.

While in route to the Midrise area,
a security patrol officer noticed a
of itslide back and forth. The ve-
hicle continued doing this the
length of the Mccann parking lot.
The driver then turned and at-
tempted to do doughnuts but came
to an abrupt stop when facing the
island. The patrol vehicle blocked
the Chevy off and told the driver
to
turn
his vehicle off. The driver
refused, hit the gas and went over
the island towards the exit. The
Chevy was blocked by another
patrol vehicle, though. The driver
drove west in Mccann going to-
wards the rear of Leo to Water
Works Rd. He then went up the
hill still making the vehicle's rear
slide back and forth. A
blockade
was attempted at the main en-
trance, but when the driver spot-
ted the obstacle, he drove over the
sidewalk and onto Rt. 9. The town
of Poughkeepsie police was called

there will be
possible

Marist Singers perform for cancer benefit
by MARY FRITZ
Sta.ff Miter
The dreary weather did not stop
the Marist College Singers as they
proudly presented their second
annual Cancer Benefit Concert on
Thursday, October l
O
in Our Lady
Seat of Wisdom Chapel at Marist
College.
The concert was a success and
all proceeds benefited the Ameri-
can Cancer Society.
"[The concert] went really well.
We put so much work into this and
I am very happy with how it turned
out," said sophomore Antonella
Delli Carpini, Marist Singers Presi-
dent. Delli Carpini sang the only
solo of the evening with
"Allerseelen" or "All Soul's Day."
The music was an eclectic mix of
spiritual and uplifting songs sung
by both the Marist Singers and the
Marist Chamber Choir. The Marist
Flute Ensemble played "Brahm's
Lullaby" and accompanied the fi-
nal song "Let There Be Peace on
Earth" which the audience was
asked to sing'along with the Marist
Singers and Chamber Choir.
The only part of the concert that
did not consist of music was the
reading of Walt Whitman's poem
"Come Up from the Fields, Father"
by Marist Music Department Di-
rector,
Art Hirnmelburger
.
"Cancer all too often means
death," said Himmelburger, who
has lost a loved one to lung can-
cer. He chose Whitman's poem
because he feels that "it addresses
the human condition in all of its
facets."
Although the night was rainy and
cold, attendance this year was
much higher than the first Cancer
Benefit Concert. Thirty-five were
present for this year's concert,
much more than the previous
year's turn out.
"It was very entertaining
.
It
brought a light to the rainy night,"
said sophomore Jennifer Sargent.
Ed Robinson
,
a retired professor
from Union College, and a six-year
member of the Rhinebeck Choral
Club
,
said he enjoyed the concert
immensely
.
"
[I thought] it was marvelous
.
I
need to find out about more Marist
events so that I can come
.
Any-
thing that Marist does, I would
come to. They are
·
getting that
good."
Director Vicki Masters said con-
certs of this nature are important
for rising people's spirits.
"We did not choose a theme for
this concert. There is no great way
to celebrate sickness. It's impor-
tant to have uplifting music at con-
certs like these," said Masters who
plans to add more variety to next
year's concert, such as readings
pertaining to the cause.
Senior Sharon McNulty, former
president of the Marist Singers,
created the idea for this concert
as a way of raising cancer research
funds after losing a friend to leu-
kemia in December 2000.
"It
is wonderful to see such sup-
port from the community for such
a good cause.
It
means a lot to the
American Cancer Society and to
me," said McNulty.
Last year, the Cancer Benefit Con-
cert raised $450 and, this so far
year, $249 has been raised. If you
were not in attendance for this
event and would like to donate a
gift to the American Cancer Soci-
ety in hopes of finding a cure, you
may still do so by calling Sharon
McNulty at extension 5666.
The Marist College Singers
'
next
concert will be on Saturday, No-
.
vember 2 at 5 p.m. in the Cabaret to
present a variety show of Broad-
way-hits titled, "Singers Night on
Broadway
.
" Please call the Music
Department for tickets.
The Humarists back and getting ready for action
by KRISTIN AMUNDSON
Sta.ff Miter
DISCLAIMER
:
Anyone easily of-
fended,
please,
read on.
The HuMarists, Marist College's
on-campus improvisation and
sketch comedy group, are back.
One could simply call them " ...
vi-
sionaries." Now under the direc-
tion of Pat Brodfuehrer and Jon
Gabrus, this group
includes
Erin
Gardner, Tony Messina, Jeff
Perry,
Tim Caiazza, and Randy Green. By
the way, they are single
,
except
Randy, and insist that they are the
best
looking
club on campus.
The HuMarists perform one
show a semester, called "The Big
Show." They prepare forthis show
throughout the semester. This
year's show will be held on Tues-
day, December l 0. Each
perfor-
mance consists of
improvisation
and sketch comedy
.
In fact, audi-
ence
members
join in
on
some of
the games and everyone's favorite
-
the T-shirt give-away.
Of course, the HuMarists did not
disclose any of their secrets about
this year's show in the interview
.
The Big Show has packed the
Nelly Goletti Theatre every year.
The
HuMarists
definitely feel the
pressure each time they perform
.
Jon Gabrus admits this comic art is
not simple
.
"Everything you say that is not
funny, you get teased for," said
Gabrus.
The HuMarists try not to cater
to audience demands for obscen-
ity and crude remarks, but some-
times they have to bend a little.
Senior Erin Gardner admits she gets
exited to see the ~asse~ crowding
the Nelly Goletti Theatre. Crowds
usually begin lining up around 8
p.m. eager to see the stunts these
performers pull. Senior
Mike
Gemme calls "The Big Show" a
must-see campus event.
"Tony Messina is a comic ge-
rning!!!

nius," said Gemme. "The MARN
sketch is one of the funniest and
most appropriate sketches I've
ever seen."
Of course, not everyone is a fan.
At the beginning of the show, a
HuMarist
reads a disclaimer, warn-
ing anyone who may be over-sen-
sitive to the show's jokes to leave.
The HuMarists insist that all jok-
ing is ip. good
·
fun, but said that
some stay and are offended
by the
humorous reflections of campus
activities.
"No harm intended," said
Brodfuehrer.
"If
someone gets
pissed off, we hope they find hu-
mor somewhere along the road."
The members claim they joined
the group because tbey lost a bet,
they're
losers and for the sole goal
of being interviewed by
The
Circle.
In order to become a HuMarist,
a student must attend several
workshops and
try-outs.
This
year, the group accepted only two
newcomers.
Senior Erin Gardner still
remains the only female HuMarist.

Dear Circle
,
George
W.
Bush has had an im-
_
pact on us all since September 11
th
;
The War on Terrorism has begun
.
Yet, who is this war against? What
is this war for? This is a war against
terrorists and is a war on terror. We
all have seen the news and know
that basically at this moment in time
the AL Queda have been forced
out of Afganhastan. This is im-
portant because he needed to do
this to ensure justice from 9, 11.
However, is a war on terrorism
even logical? We have triwnphed
but terrorists still exist. Anyone at
any given time in any country can
become a terrorist. Just because the
biggest call for conflict is in the
Middle East doesn't mean we
should beat down the entire
Middle East to stop all future ter-
rorists. That would be impossible.
Then why is Bush still pushing a
war over there when we clearly
have defeated the Al Queda in
Afganhastan?
It
is about pride. He saved our
countries pride with the war on ter-
ror, but he doesn't know when to
stop. His next target, Saddam
Hussein and Iraq, shows that he is
not pushing just the pride of the
country but his own pride. They
should have stopped after beating
the Al Queda, but I believe Bush
wants to strive to beat Saddam;
something his father did not do.
He
·
is clever in the sense that he
hides his and our interests by us-
ing the idea that the UN treaties
were violated.
In
doing so it looks
more like an attack for his own
pride.
This is just a political mindset but
we do not realize that these politi-
cal games place lives needlessly at
risk. He is placing the lives of many
US Soldiers at risk by thinning out
the forces over there. Everyone
over here says, "Oh, we are not
going to war," or "There is no war
because it was not declared." Then
why have United States Army Re-
serves Combat Support Hospitals
been deployed over there? We are
over there because people are get-
ting shot up and both military and
civilian Americans
are
being hurt.
J:
say we because since 1998 I've
been
a
member of an Army Reserve
Combat Support Hospital. Also I'm
leaving Marist now having only
three semesters to go. I have to
leave because I was one of the
lucky ones to get deployed from
myunit. l'mreallylookingforward
to it, however I will try to live life to
its fullest prior tomy near leaving.

This letter was written in re-
sponse to last weeks article
about Poughkeepsie. The ar-
ticle was sent in without a
name and Sta.ff Writer Kevin
Coffey s name was mistakenly
put in instead.
Dear Circle,
In
his article, Kevin says that resi-
dents of Poughkeepsie are not
pleased with their living conditions
claiming to have been nearly
mugged 12 times in the
McDonald's drive through. How-
ever, it is true that Poughkeepsie is
one of, if not the worst city, in terms
of drug trafficking, in the Hudson
Valley. Nonetheless, Kevin's sar-
castic comments make him
appear ignorant and somewhat of
a coward. I've been to the
Main Street district in the City of
Poughkeepsie on numerous occa-
sions and have yet to been in
any type of confrontation or
trouble.
It
is undeniable that the
city has a drug trafficking
problem, but it is heavy only in
certain areas and street comers.
The
number
of pleasant
neighborhoods in Poughkeepsie
outnumbers the dangerous ones
by a landslide.
I tooam from New Jersey, but
foi:-
tunately for me, I've have been ex-
posed to different types of envi-
ronments and do not have the na-
ive idea that every neighborhood
should look like "Dawson's
Creek." When I first arrived at
Marist I was told, "do not go into
the City of Poughkeepsie, it's the
ghetto." I've been here two years
now. I have seen more of
Poughkeepsie than the average
graduate of Marist sees in his/her
four years here and yet, nothing
h_as happened. I advise everyone
not to presume or stereotype any
neighborhood.
I'll tell you what, if anyone wants
to see heavy drug trafficking, he
or she does not have to look
further than this very campus. The
difference between the dealers is
obvious, simple black and white.
Everyone gets nervous or afraid in
an environment that is totally
different from what they are used
to. But let's think about this criti-
cally, I've never been forced by
anyone to buy drugs of any
kind. Also, I know many people
who live in the pleasant
neighborhoods that Kevin de-
scribed whom use and abuse drugs
and never have to go into the City
of Poughkeepsie. Please don't be
ignorant.

Normal Heart: Great start for the Blackbox Theater
by JENNIFERHAGGERTY
Editor-in-Chief
Last Wed. and Thurs., Oct.
9
and
10,
students gathered in the
Blackbox Theater, for the stage
reading of
The Nonna/ Heart.
Spanning two hours with a short
intermission,
The Normal Heart
addressed AIDS in its early stages
inAmerica.
Matt Andrews, producer, said
that he chose this play to help edu-
cate and re-educated young people
of the severity of the AIDS epi-
demic.

"Students need to be safe and
smart in their personal lives," said
Andrews.
"It
may be one's right to
kill one's seif, but you have no right
to kill another person."
.
In
a time when the AIDS epidemic
is no longer covered in great detail
in the news,
The Nonna/ Heartre-
minded its audience of the drastic
results AIDS can have on human
life.
"We have become comfortable in
the U.S. with the cocktail drug,"
saidAndrews. "What people don't
realize is that there can be horrific

---·
side effects to the drugs, and it has
an unproven track record. The
drugs delay full-blown AIDS. But
make no mistake about
it,
AIDS still
kills."
Nonna/Heart, being an autobio-
graphical play, was portrayed by
nine actors.
It
also proved to be a
good sel~ction for the blackbox.
The play spans the
y~ws
19&2-
84 with the rise of the deadly virus
in the U.S. Still untreatable and
unknown .at the time, the play
shows the severity of AIDS, mainly
in the homosexual community.
"It is a great
piece of theatre.
[It
is] well-writ-
ten and topical,"
said Andrews.
"Written in
1985,
it is both an his-
torical play and
one that is as
