15. HOLIDAY GIFT PROGRAM
For the last 8 years, through the generosity of university
employees and students, we have been able to provide holiday
gifts to over 3000 children who live near or below the poverty
level in Suffolk County. The hidden nature of hunger and poverty
makes us less aware of its prevalence in the suburbs but hunger
does exist here. Seven years ago, we established a pantry in Pt.
Jefferson to help families year round as they struggle to provide
nutritionally balanced meals for their families. We now provide
for 600 households a month, translating into over 5000
individuals (half of whom are children under the age of 14). If
you would be interested in providing either a gift of clothing or
a toy to one of these children during this year's Holiday Gift
program, please contact me via e-mail (mbell@notes.cc.sunysb.edu)
and I'll send you details. THANK YOU!

16. "Landscape with Argonauts" by Heiner Muller
Heiner Muller is one of the major forces of German drama. His
writing is sarcastic, life threatening poetry that erases
everything you have and directs you toward the truth. What is
the truth and reason of living after human kind has destroyed
itself? Using the strength of the mystical figure Medea, Muller
shows us the answer. Despoiled Shore - Medeamaterial - Landscape
with Argonauts is a revealing and powerful piece in a time like
this when everybody is faced with the same question.
Directed by Petra Lammers, choreographed by Margarita Espada,
with Hinde Liepmannsohn, Josh Adler and Dorte Junghanel,
Despoiled Shore - Medeamaterial - Landscape with Argonauts is
performed at the Cabaret at the Spot (Roosevelt Quad) on October
26, 27 and 28th at 8:00 p.m.

world and come to the Cabaret at the Spot (Roosevelt Quad) on
