Stageone:the auditions Sliversof clialogueard snippetsof songra:rgtlrough the wide main corriilor of the King Centeras a group of elmost 30 Metro studeutscongregatedin front of one of tJrebuilding's small theaters. They were feverishly reciting a:rd singing their prepared . parts one last time beforettreir big moment,busily preparingfor one performancetlnt carried as its prize six weeks of long rehearsals,exhaustingphysicaltraining and a trmcated sociallife.

Welcometo audition rlayfor Metro'sfall play,Alfred Uhry and Robertlfaldmar's TheRobberBidegroorn.Fifteen minutesbefore t}te screeningprocessbegan,eventlte veteranactorsin the group showedsigns of stress.

'I am extrernelynervous,' Ikis Jansensaiil as he scanneda sheetof music.The fact tlat he was a chorusmemberin tlte con.i4s YouLike It did nothing current production of Shakespeare's to lessenhis anticipation,and neither did his past roles in Metro plays suchas .&ratesof Penzance, Bigadoon andDamnYanhees.

'I'm always nervous,alwa5n on pins and neetlles,"he confessed.

Meanwhile, Meto freshman Ben Cowhick sat quietly on a bench,eyeinghis nusic and mentally cycling tlrough his materia].

"It's just kind of frustrating," he said. "I'm the lead in As lou Lfte It , ardton$t's our secondopeningnigbt, andI havean audi-

tion .. . Then again,that's the lifestyle.That's what I want to do."

Despitehis prinary role n As YouZt?e If, Co\rhick had no grandioseexpectationsfor toilay's audition.

"At this point, lll take what I can get and do my best with it," he said.

The hurried recitations and last minute run-tlroughs were abruptly cut short as the theater doorsopened.The hopefulstook deep breaths, filed into the small spaceaad mentally prepared onelast tirne.

'I hopeyou're all excitetljust to havea goodtime today,"said Scott Lubinski, the piay's director,after the crowd assembledin the small studio.His tone was reassuringald measured,ald he encouragedeveryoneto take deepbreaths,relax a:rdpracticeen' couragingapplause.

'We just want you to haveful,' he said.

After a collaborativewarm-up process,tlte auditionsbegan il eamest. Each student had the opportudty to deliver a short monologueand performa musicalpiece.

Rob Jarzen, an old hat in the theater deparhent who describedhimself as a characteractor, sings "BlessYow Beautifirl llrde" from SeuenBridesfor *vm Brothm. NancyEvansshowed 'It's a Privilege off her impressivefalsetto in her performanceof to Fee" from Urtnetown:larcd,Mng elicited a chorus of laughter

with his rendition oI "GreatBig Sfirff" fron tle nusical Dr'rfyRoftm Scoundrels.

A}nost four hours after the doon opened,the last students wrappedup their auditions.Lubinski was left to consultwitlt his dance director, stage tlirector and music director, debatingthe strongestcandiclatesandtheir possiblecontributions.

The play requirescomedicexpertisefor its success,Lubinski explained.

"The show is not depeudentuponmy ability to createa comedy;it's their ability to createa comedy,"he said."In otheru'ords, the comedyis not written into the show."

Fromtoday'sperformances,he saw a great ileal of potential, despitea lirnited rehearsalscheduleof six weeks.

"I'm encowaged,'hesaid."If I havea castof 14 peoplewho are i:rcrediblecomedycreators ... .y j9b gets easier.I feel that wlntever route we go,there'snot goilg to be a weak link.' ?he day'sauditionswere also a successin a larger sensefor Lubinski and his crew.

You're going to take the Latex- you're going to stretch your skin out first," Brian Kusic advised.Kusic sat on the oppositeside of the crampeddressingroom, adding his own usighfly moles and cicahices.

For example,a nes' exhibit at the Drug Enforcenent Agency'sMuseun & Visitor's Center is titled "TargetAmerica:Tlaf&ckers,Terrorists, & You." Officials argue that terrorists receive funding fron the drug trade, a:rd citizens who usedrugsttrereforecontributeto terrorism.And ttrey are right. Sort of.

GEOT W|II,IJNMTil The link between terrorism ald the drug gwollerrn@mscd.edu trade is undeniable.But the link betweenterrorism and a:ry black-markettrade is undeniable.

But we're not really talking about pot, are hide their intricate fundingschemes.Naimnotes that the 1993World Tlade Centerbombingwas we?That's not how the terrorists get rich. We're possiblyfirnded by "illegal interstate cigarette talking about hard drugs, such as heroin, am<listnbution,store couponscams,and counter- phetamile and crack cocaine,and the people feit T-shirt sales,' and tlat the perpetratorsof who buy tlose dmgs. It's a distinction worth 'also ran a 6aking, but only with a small clarification: the 2004 Madrid railway bornbings businessin counterfeitcompactdiscs.' He con- Those people are generally addicts, and when cludesthat these "ties illustrate a convergence you're an addict,you don't care about anything in the organizationof terrorism ar:d illicit trade but your next fix - not whereyou live, not what you eat, and certainly not 21st century geopolithat is bom ofboth necessityand opportunity.'

But the connection between individual tics. Youjust wa-ntto get high.

For officials to assert that street users are sonehow to blame for our terrorist woes is absolutely ridiculous - and shameftrl. Matthew Briggs, who works wittr tle Dnrg Policy Alli' ance,an organizationthat advocatesdrug law reforn, was quoted on AlterNet in September 2004 as sayingit was as if the drug czar'sofEce was hiding "their failed war on dmgsbehindthe war on terrorism.'

I probablywouldn't take issue with any of tJris if there weren't a noticeabiespike ir marijuar:a busts since 2001. Across the country, from medical marijuana users and growers to small-time possessorsin urbal areas, people who light up are getting locked down - a:rd for what good?War a:rd terror still abound.Dnrgs are, accordingto my best sources,still plentiful.

But at the sametime, the DEA assertedil 2003 - in defenseof the drug war - that 95 percent of Americans didn't do clrugs.0f course, tlat sameyear a Ilarris poll founil t}at 95 percentof Americansbelievedin heaven.Coincidence?

The neq', tacit connection between drug use ar:d terrorisn might be shamefirl,but not as shamefi:l as the billions-of-dollarswar tiat our govemmentcontinuesto wageagainstmarijuana users i:r the United States.With a faltering economy nuclearambitious countries on the rise and an entangledconiagration in the Middle East, you'd think a sma1lpopulationof

In blamingdrug usersfor terrorism, of8.cials also tend to publicly ignoretle fact that terror' ists makemoney,as Naimpoints out, fron other bushess ventures: knockoff clothing, human traifrcking, and bootleg DVDs,books and conputer programs.In fact, after readingnhcit you might discovertllat evenif you don't use illegal 'ear1y-release"copies drugs, but still purchase of TheFastandtheFunbus,you're no better tlan the crackheail down tlte street. In light of the way terrorist-sponsoringregimesare using the high price of oil for political Ieveragethesedays, driving a gas-guzzlingsport-utility vehiclenight be tlte worst offenseof all.

Ttrere are numerousthings all of us - not just drug users - could be doing to lessentlte hold terrorists haveon our way of life. Of course, in the long run, this meansgivingup someof our waysof life . But my stonerbuddyshouldn'thave to feel anymoreguilty about his joint than you shouldaboutyour car.
