Over a week okay, Paris fell victim to an attack by the now well-known international terrorist organization, ISIS. Since then, the world has rallied together behind Paris and the rest of the country of France in order to show their support for the brutalized nation.
One of these methods taken has fallen under the social media category. A new Facebook filter that puts the French flags across people’s already existing profile pictures.
With the end of the semester fast approaching, the holidays are on everybody’s minds. On the Marist College campus, students have begun feeling the Christmas spirit a little early with the preparation of Campus Ministry’s Giving Tree event.
After a successful season that sported three productions, including The Diary of Anne Frank, co-produced by the theatre department, the Marist College Club of Theatre Arts (MCCTA) is patting themselves on the back for a job well done. The Nelly Goletti Theatre should be quiet from this point forward.
However, the work is far from over. Though it is not common knowledge, the theatre club makes use of several storage units just up Route 9. With the additional down time comes the added responsibility of cleaning and organizing this for easier use in the coming semester.
Autumn is an exciting time of the year. With the changing leaves and the cool and (usually) comfortable sweater weather, there is a lot to look forward to. The holidays of creative costumes and stuffing yourself with turkey are also major points of interest.
But as all of the energy buzzes around us, things tend to fly under the radar. One of the most important of these is health. It may sound odd to say, but people forget to take the extra steps in order to insure their well being as the cold months are upon us.

However, realizing after years of anticipation that dated far before college that teaching was not what he wanted to do was something a current college senior had not planned for.
Many have come to associate October as the month of Halloween. The beloved holiday falls on October 31st and the weeks leading up to it have often been dedicated to finding the perfect costume, partaking in other fall activities such as apple and pumpkin picking, but, perhaps most importantly, haunted houses.
The Hudson Valley is well known throughout the nation as one of the haunt capitals of the United States. Aside from the well-known Headless Horseman Hayride, there is another attraction in nearby Wappinger’s Falls that people may not have heard of. Kevin McCurdy’s Haunted Mansion provides a variety of frights that many may not be expecting.
Fall. It is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated season of the year.
Though winter holidays like Christmas and summer boasts the freedom from school, there’s something about that time of year when the trees are changing colors and everything seems to adopt a pumpkin flavored option that gets people hooked.
