SUFFOILKAND STATEN IISLAND L N EQUALHOUSING LENDER : - OL_ -- Treats, Not Tricks 3 For The Homeless BY TISCHELLE GEORGE Special to The Statesman_ On Friday, October 31 many children will make their rounds going house to house in search of sweet Halloween treats. The members of the Stony Brook chapter of NYPIRG will also be making rounds on Halloween night, but they are in search of treats for the homeless. Trick or Treat for the Homeless is a NYPIRG project that hopes to generate an interest to begin donating to the homeless early in the holiday season. "Generally people only think of donating at Thanksgiving and at Christmas. We want to start before then," said Vivian Berrios, project coordinator for NYPIRG. NYPIRG members, along with anyone else who wants to participate, will visit houses in the Stony Brook area. "We will visit houses behind Cosmos and near the railroad station because there are a lot of houses over there," said Drew Morgan, acting state board representative. Everyone is welcome to participate in the trick or treat for the homeless. "We want as many people as possible. The more people, the more ground we can cover and the more stuff we can get," Berrios said. Everyone will meet outside the NYPIRG office at 4:30 pm on Friday and they will visit houses until about 8:30 pm. Instead of mini Snickers bars and orange flavored lollipops, trick or treaters for the homeless hope to have their goody bags filled with canned foods, paper products and dry goods. All of the items will be donated to two food pantries and one shelter - The Ministries, in Coram; St. Anthony' s Bread, in Rocky Point and Hope House, in Port Jefferson. Because Hope House is a shelter that feeds and clothes the homeless, along with providing food, it also needs toiletries such as'shaving cream and toilet tissue. By lee Lek U. Ying "These are things that we don't think to donate," Berrios said. Nanette Essel speaks at the Student Activities Center yesterday. People who do donate to charities usually give clothing, Berrios said. NYPIRG held food and clothing drives last year, but now the members are interested in doing hands on work at the shelters. So far no one has come forward with an interest to do Essel Speaks Out About BNL hands on work, but Berrios says it's still an important step for NYPIRG.

Havingjust come from the Polity Senate charged $.80 for a can of soda. This would mean But Aramark must go as well, because it sets the meeting, in which Aramark.was given about an that 7-11 is probably paying about 38% of $.80 - prices. Aramark cannot be forgiven for stealing hour or so to defend its performance and plead about $.30 for the soda from its supplier. Aramark from us; none of you would be forgiven if Aramark for a contract renewal, I'm even more unhappy claims to be paying about $.42 for a can of soda.'- caught you stealing from it. about the meal plan than usual. Basically, This is just one example where Aramark claims it Which brings us to my main concern: more Aramark was given opportunities to sell itself to pays more than other vendors. missing money. This is, an amount not so easily students.

The student who raised this issue cited the Standard Advantage plan would be charged year around this time (willfully suspend your Miriam Schussler's article, 'The DisAdvantage Plan" about $130 more for the same items than people disbelief for a moment), then Aramark spent over a (available in the Polity office; pick it up!).

Of course, there are fluctuations, but what you'll anywhere else, we still have the question of why 4) 7-11 is much faster thanAramark.

Therefore, this is just buys one brand of everything "to save money." sure you have as well. So the first problem is that the one we must keep asking.

However, since Aramark standard in the industry. The most obvious the chocolate milk; this is a systematic effort on and FSA are so firiendly, it's probably pointless to conclusion one could draw is that the reports are Aramark's part, and we must be equally systematic distinguish them.

L \10 Classical Roots of Lili Hayden BY DIANA GINGO Statesman Editor Lili Haydn brings her unconventional style to her self-produced debut album, Lili. Haydn was encouraged to explore her creative side at an early age by her mother, who even went as far as allowing her to choose her own name. Before she chose her present name she went through a series of names, including Helicopter, which strangely enough only lasted for six months. Haydn, before beginning her own projecf played and recorded with a number of acts including: the L.A. Philharmonic, the Rolling Stones, Porno for Pyros, No Doubt, Bush, B.B. King, and Tom Petty, just to name pnort counesy oj Auanrtc ecoras a few. The diversity and celebrity of these groups greatly reflects upon Haydn's diversified talents. She finds a balance in combining her classical training with pop influences to create a unique sound. Lili combines I_~" FijModels wanted classical influences of composers such as Tchaikovsky for promotion and Brahms, with some popular twentieth century l work artists as dissimilar as Stevie Wonder and Soundgarden. Haydn, who spent almost every Sunday of 1994 at L.A.'s fashionable Viper Room, certainly Camera playing Studio 7 Photography and Stony Brook proved herself with what Rolling Stone recently called have combined! an "impassioned mix ofclassical, punk, funk and pop."
