I saw you there. I am the light that gives life to the dark. What could I do? Me wanting to talk to you. You give me life to excite the night. This came to me at a surprise. The words wouldn't come out. I am used to create a romantic night. As I seek for you. \ But I wonder what will you do. The truth lies within your eyes My heart beats faster I burn away at your first desire. What happened here? As the words slowly rolled out ofme. l'Our touch makes me melt with fire. One day I'll see. I did not know how you will respond. You're a bigpart ofmy life. 'Til you said "This can't be!" I come in different shapes and sizes. But nextyoti won't be. In sorrow and pain, I also give a scent ofanythingyou desire. I miss you dearly. My heart fell as did the tears I make the soul come out at night. That's all I can do. I trembled... Unfortunately, As those are the words I fear. -Susie Ospina I'm no longer with you. Though I seeyou, This is different. It's not the same. You're notjust like any other Boo! But you know what!

':lOu never know what you have until But here is where I'll be. it's gone," is so true. In your heart and a phone call away. Until it happened to me. I'm there ifyou need me. And I became so BLUE.

Men's Soccer Gets Kicked in the Grass By Michael Galicia The Men's Soccer season opened with a major blow to the schedule. At a scrimmage game on Blackwell Field before the opening of the season the field was flagged as unacceptable to officials. Baruch was using the field for home games and was counting on playing there throughout the season. According to Baruch Asst. Director of Athletics Ray Rankis, ''The field was not lined properly and there were a few uneven places that could have caused injuries." !L. This created a last minute scramble to find open fields for all games that had been scheduled there. Most of the home games are already scheduled at majorly inconvenient locations; SUNY Maritime and College of Staten Island (CSI). "I still don't know where we are going to play against Pratt on October 8th ." Rankis stated.
