As part of the Madisonians annual home show, senior Jennifer DePaola performs "River Deep, Mountain High," for a sold out crowd April 24, 1 999. The concert celebrated the show choir's 25th anniversary; yet the next day, the 1 6- member ensemble learned that their director was moving and that the College of Arts and Letters was cutting their funding. Despite the obstacles, under the leadership of senior Mandy Lamb and several returning members, the group gained organization status and began their own fund-raising efforts. Having performed at venues around the state throughout the year, the Madisonians closed their year, as always, with the home show on April 22, 2000, once again for a full auditorium. ■ Photo by Steve Boling

Senior Phil Davies dedicates his summer to spreading
At 6:30 a.m., on June 9, 1 said good-bye to my parents and left my hometown on a flight to the West Coast knowing one thing: the only way home was on a bicycle.
As far as I can remember, 1 had spent every summer prior to that of 1999 in my hometown of Atlanta. I did the things that most kids did in those careless summer days. I worked at supermarkets, warehouses, construction sites, golf courses and had my first internship after my sophomore year in college. I saw what the "real world" had to offer and knew that I wasn't ready to sell my soul to a company
Commemorating the start of their trip in San Francisco, this postcard was one of the many ways the Journey of Hope team spread their message of acceptance of people with disabilities. Over the course of the summer, the team reached more than 27 million people through personal appearances, newspaper articles, and television and radio interviews.
at age 20. It wasn't until I boarded a plane for San Francisco that I truly realized I was beginning the journey of a lifetime. For 63 days, from June 13 to Aug. 14, 1 and 66 other members of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity bicycled from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the steps of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., to raise money and awareness for people with disabilities. The bike trek, known as the Journey of Hope, was the national outreach project of PUSH America, a nonprofit organization that served people with developmental disabilities. PUSH America was also the national philanthropy of OKO fraternity. The Journey of Hope team consisted of fraternity members from over 26 colleges and univer- sities across the nation. I was the ninth Pi Kapp from JMU to complete the Journey of Hope, as I rode with another chapter brother, Kevin McGee. McGee participated in the trip in the summer of 1997, and after gradu-i ating in May 1999, committed himself a I second time. It was because of McGee's stories about the trip — and those of two other chap- ter brothers who rode in 1997 — that I took the first and hardest step: calling John Powers, the director of PUSH America, to request a team member application.
Each cyclist completed the application that consisted of five essay questions. Prospec- tive riders also needed rwo letters of recom- mendation and then interviewed over the phone with Powers. The hour-long interview entailed questions about personal leadership

m
skills, scenarios that team members would encounter over the summer, and personal goals or reasons tor wanting to ;be a part of this experience. Powers briefly discussed the mission of the Journey of Hope and reminded me that each cyclist, once accepted, must raise a minimum of $4000 to support the projects and programs ot PUSH America. I jivas enthusiastic about accepting the fiind-raising challenge and a month later, when I received a letter of acceptance, began the laborious task.
Through letter campaigning to family and friends, I met my first SI 000 deadline in February and my second '$1000 deadline in March. Fund-raisers with sororities on oivfl ampus and a generous donation fi^om Harrisonburg jeweler ames McHone helped me reach my third $1000 deadline n April. Frustrating as it was, I knew that it was possible ,4{ o raise all $4000. With a few days remaining before the J (Ik klay 15 deadline, 1 sent in the last check to PUSH America aving raised a total of $4 1 0 1 .
With the fiind-raising completed, I began concentrating iggg (11 training for the intense trek. The Student Government (da ^sociation granted McGee's and my request for money ijj vith which to purchase the equipment and helped ensure hat we would be properly supplied. Mark's Bike Shop in ^arrisonburg offered past Journey of Hope riders a signi- icant discount, and I bought the necessary equipment from hem. The long list included a helmet, gloves, cycling shorts, hoes, tools, a camelback, a saddlebag, sunglasses, tubes, ires, tire irons and a bike computer to keep track of speed, listance, time and total miles.
Never having done any serious cycling, I began training 1 Harrisonburg, which provided open roads off Route 42
North and plenty of rolling hills. I came to appreciate the tranquility of the roads in the countryside, but it was difficult staying motivated while riding alone. Consequendy, my longest training ride was only 30 miles, which felt more like 130 because I wasn't sure how often to eat, drink or rest. I got comfortable with the bike, learning which gears to use, how to change tires and perform basic bicycle main- tenance. In all, I trained about 250 miles, which was average compared to other team members, as I soon found out in San Francisco.
Before arriving in San Francisco, we were assigned to one of the two JOH cycling teams: the South team or the North team. Both teams staned in San Francisco and rode together for about a week until we split in Fallon, Nev., where the South team continued its route toward Arizona and the North team rode toward Utah. I was a member of the South team, comprised of 25 cyclists and seven crew members who drove the support vehicles that carried our clothes, food and water. Saturn Car Corporation ot America, our biggest sponsor, donated four vehicles and provided us with many meals at Saturn dealerships across the country. We were invited to the Saturn Homecoming in Tennessee and were recognized for our journey.
Each morning began at 6:00 a.m. We were given one hour to dress and eat breakfast. We then gathered in a circle to go over the day's itinerary that included the route, time of arrival, aaivities for the day and sleeping accommodations. About 75 percent ot the time we slept on high school gym floors in sleeping bags. We had hotel rooms donated when possible, usually in larger cities, and camped out once on July 4 on an Indian Reservation in (continued on p. 38) »

(continued from p. 37) » Arizona among scorpions and tarantulas. On average, we cycled about 80 miles per day, with our longest ride being 120 miles into Bremen, Ga., about one-and-a-half months into the trip. The ride to Bremen took almost 1 1 hours to complete as we battled hills, headwind and the humidity of the south. In one of the honest summers ever recorded, we cycled in dangerously high temperatures that reached up to 118 degrees in the desert. One of our team members became so dehydrated that he was hospitalized. The doctors feared he might have suffered permanent brain damage due to the heat.
One of the summers' most diflFicult rides took place in Kirkwood, Calif, in which we climbed from 2,000 feet to 9,000 feet over 65 miles. We were on our bikes for more than 1 3 hours, and although we were hungry and tired, we were filled with a sense of accomplishment knowing that we had conquered the mountain. Other days we encountered obstacles beyond our control such as flat tires. I had over 30 flat tires, 1 1 in one day, while McGee only had one. A more serious obstacle, our first major accident, occurred about three weeks into the trip. Six cyclists were riding in a paceline, a tight group of cyclists who ride extremely close together to reduce wind resistance. Two cyclists rubbed tires and the entire paceline spilled like dominoes. One team member separated his shoulder while another hit his face on the asphalt and bit through both his lips. We were in the middle of the desert almost 60 miles from the next town, but luckily a state trooper arrived and radioed for help. We rode in silence for the remainder of the day until we heard that our team members were all right.
When we arrived in a designated city each day, we made it a priority to interact with people with disabilities. We met with hundreds of people, many of whom suffered from Downs Syndrome, autism or mental retardation. In
addition to playing wheelchair basketball, visiting waterparks and Major League Baseball games, and having cookouts, we performed a puppet show for centers that served people with disabilities. The show was called "Kids on the Block" which featured puppets that had Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome or were visually impaired. At the end of the puppet show, the kids, some of whom had disabilities themselves, asked the puppets questions about what it was like to be disabled. The children in the audience learned that people with disabilities are no different than anyone else, and that they share the same interests as other people their age. It was hard leaving these special people who looked forward to our arrival every year, but we tried to look ahead to the next city and meeting a new group of friends.
In larger cities such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, Birmingham, Atlanta and Charlotte, we had police escorts for our arrival. All traffic would stop and we'd follow the police lights and sirens as the city watched us ride. Personally, , the arrival at Centennial Park in Atlanta was one of the highlights of the trip. My parents, neighbors and friends came to our arrival to watch us ride into the city behind the police escorts. Then the South team lined up at Centennial Park and a state representative handed me the proclamation declaring Aug. 3, 1999, PUSH America Day in the city of Adanta. We ate a sponsored limch downtown at the Adidas Center, which was built for the 1 996 Olympic athletes, and we couldn't help feeling like Olympic athletes ourselves.
After riding across 12 states, over mountains, through deserts, heat, wind and rain, we arrived at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Hundreds of parents, family and friends applauded and cheered to welcome us back from the most mentally and physically challenging experience of our lives. Having reached over 27 million people and raising $350,000 for PUSH America, we completed our

Marching in formation for weekend games, outfitted in the traditional purple and white, the 450 members of the Marching Royal Dukes appeared as a sea of uniformit)'. Proudly displaying their identical uniforms and carefitlly polished instruments, every band member followed the same cues under the direction of the drum major Together, their harmonious soimd carried to the ears of their audience. Under their leathered caps and sequined sashes, however existed a band composed of very different people united by one thing: a love of music.
Or, a imity based on a love for a common instrument, so it may seem, for behind the image of "Virginias Finest were the sections, marching band "families" in their own right, ^^ether a member ot the reed, brass or percussion lamilv, each instrument of the marching band was repre- sented in a section that prided itself on its particular sound. "We start practice earlier and we rehearse longer than any of the other sections. There's a lot of cooperation within our group, and we listen to one another because it's our duty to get the best out of our section," said trumpet section leader Brian Sizer, a senior Friendly rivalry was not uncommon between the sections as a result of group pride.
Competition was at its pinnacle the week before school during the Section Olympics at band camp. Sections squared off against one another in six events. "During the events, we may yell at the other sections a lot, but it's all in good fun, " said Sizer.
Instrument pride, a common trait shared by every section, built confidence. "The trumpets are the loudest and smartest section, statistically. They are also the most physically able, have the most sex appeal, and when people think of JMU Marching Band, they think trtimpets," said fi-eshman Matt McLaughlin.
In response to the boasts of the trumpets, the members of the drum-line had their own perception ol the statistics. "Drummers get the girls and that's all that matters," said freshman Aaron Stanley.

{continued from p. 42) » such as the "tubamid" (a pyramid of tuba players) and the "tuba push-ups." No matter what the activity was, the tubas demonstrated their section pride by putting the word "tuba" in front of all their planned get- togethers. The lone baritone sax, a reed instrument with a similar range as the tubas, soon leatned that the tuba section was a great group in which to belong. "Everyone in the tuba section has been nice to me despite being a baritone sax. I'm glad they took me in," said freshman Jeremiah Daniels.
Keeping the beat and coordinating the rhythm of the entire band was the job of the percussion section, better known as the drum-line. Percussionists cemented their loyalty to the group when they joined Phi Buda Ruda (pronounced booda rooda), the drum-line's faux fraternity. Like the tubas, the members of the percussion section had the reputation of being a close group. "The drum-line is a great thing to be a part of because everyone is really talented and we're all close. When you get to band camp, within days you have about 20 friends," said Stanley.
Freshman Timothy Rossettini's shirt re- veals the spirit of the drum-line. The Marching Royal Dukes' national ranking instilled pride in everyone who played in the band. ■ Photoby Allison Serkes
Although without instruments, members of the color guard were dex- terous writh the five-and-a-half foot flag- poles that danced among band members on the field. Sticking to tradition, each guard girl participated in a Big Sister/ Little Sister program that began during band camp.
"Each guard member is paired with a big or little sister. We exchange gifts before games, bake each other cookies, show the new girls around and take them out to help them feel at home," said junior Laura Lee Gulledge.
Like their instruments, each section was unique not only for its sound but also for its members and their traditions. Living up to the title of "Virginia's Finest" was not only a group goal but a sectional one. Each section strove for the title that had made their band one of the best in the nation. Despite the divisions, the Marching Royal Dukes found that the stronger their section was, the better they soimded as a whole band. "The philosophy is that the drum-line that parties together plays well together. If we know each other's strengths and know each other personally, we're going to play better on the field," said Stanley. ■

The girls took one step back and cocked their heads in unison to analyze their artwork. After listening to endless Top 40 songs, drinking enough water to satisfy a small army and making a last-minute trip to Wal-Mart for more purple chalk, they finally were finished. The detailed drawing illuminated the pavement in front of their sorority house. Several of them snapped pictures and exchanged high fives. Others rubbed their hands together to remove the chalk that had blended together to form one single color within the creases of their palms.
The crest drawing competition represented one out ot several opportunities for sororities and fraternities to earn points in 1999s Greek Week. While watching the Greek Games, spectators received a decent laugh, as students struggled to make it through the obstacle course and muscle their way through the tug of war.
Apart from these amusing events, members of the Greek Lite community were encouraged to participate in a variety of commimity service events. These ranged from the Boys and Girls Club field day, "Hustle for Habitat 5k Fun Run," and the all-Greek blood drive.
Greek Sing was perhaps the week's most anticipated event, challenging its competitors to de\'elop a unique dance and lip sync routine.
"We all start practicing about a month before the aaual event," senior Erin Smith said. "For the most part, sororities spend a lot more time and energy preparing for their per- formance with dance moves, hand motions and props."
A Greek Life barbecue behind Bridgeforth Stadium and a happy hour at Main Street Bar and Grill provided everyone with a satisfying balance to top oflFthe week filled with fierce competition. ■

Five Tri-Delta sisters make their way to ^ California where junior Ashleigh Beam learns that her price is fight
ASHLEIGH BEAM, COME ON DOWN! Still elated from her victory on 'The Price is Right" game showjunior Ashleigh Beam was regularly approached by skeptical students and faculty to recount her day of good fortune. Beam won over $40,000 in cash and prizes, making her that day's top winner Photo by Carlton Wolfe
At 4:30 a.m. on a Wednesday in July, junior Ashleigh Beam and tour of her Tri-Delta sorority sisters arrived at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles. Prepared to spend the next few hours on the cold, hard pavement, the girls came equipped with blankets and pillows from their hotel room. At 7:30 a.m. the doors to CBS Studios finally opened and hundreds of restless potential "The Price is Right" contestants filtered inside.
The five sorority girls paraded into the lobby wearing matching T-shirts that read "James Madison University- Delta Delta Delta loves Bob Bob Bob." After filling out television release forms, they were given adhesive yellow nametags and directed to a room where the show's producers asked each person a series of generic questions.
At 10 a.m. everyone was allowed to access the set and locate his or her pre-assigned seats. The girls couldn't help but notice how much smaller the famous, brightly colored sound stage looked, compared to its appearance on television. After what seemed to be an eternity, announcer Rod Roddy, dressed in one of his stunning jackets, made his first appearance to pump up the crowd before the show
started. From the fifth row, center stage, Beam thought back to the day they all decided to make the excursion.
Beam, along with juniors Randal Morris, Allison Toth, Carrie Albright and senior Kelly Graves devised the trip to California early spring 1 999. They planned to stay 10 days in Newport Beach, Morris' hometown. Attending a taping of "The Price is Right" was placed high on their list of things to do. "Our ultimate goal was to meet Bob Barker before he retired," Beam said with a slight smile. After months of careftil planning and the help of frequent flyer miles, the group was able to make the trip at minimal cost.
The combination of deafening shrieks and shouts made Beam acutely aware of her favorite daytime host's arrival. At the start of the show, Rod Roddy announced the name of a young man who shuffled his way down to the bidding panel. The crowd was still in an uproar when Roddy mouthed, "Ashleigh Beam, come on down! You're the next contestant on 'The Price is Right.'" Beam felt her heart sink to the floor and strained to read the large white card with her name written on it. {continued on p. 50) »

{continued from p. 49) » Sninned, Beam remained in her chair. Widi the help from her friends and random audience mem- bers, she arose and cautiously made her way to the panel.
The first item up for bid was a tennis ball machine, demonstrated by the newest edition to Barker's Beauties, Nikki Ziering. Unfortunately, Beam overbid by $30 and remained at her orange booth on Contestants' Row.
The second item up for bid was a folding screen decor- ated with painted pastel flowers. Beam, an art major, bid higher than the rest of the contestants. Those years of sining in Duke Hall lectures paid off, because it won her the right to take the stage. She husded up the platform steps and was greeted by Barker.
Following small talk. Barker informed her that she would be playing Spelling Bee. He explained the objeCT of the game was to spell out the word "CAR" with numbered cards shaped like honeycombs with the letters "C, " "A" and "R " on the backs. She received two free cards worth $500 each and was given the opportunity to win three more cards of equal value. To do so, she had to estimate the price values of three prizes. With the help of preplanned hand signals from her friends, Beam was able to successftilly guess two out of three prices. She now had a Bloomin' Onion machine and a vanity mirror. When it came time to reveal the letters imderneath the cards, Barker presented her with the option of walking away with $2000 cash or taking the chance to win a brand new Mercury Tracer. Beam went for the car and won. Overjoyed, she planted a wet kiss on Barker's cheek and was ushered off the stage to fill out paperwork.
During the commercial break, Barker answered questions from audience members. "Tell us about the fight scene in 'Happy Gilmore,' Bob," inquired one man. "Hey Bob, read my shirt," shouted another. He stood up to show off his shirt: 'Pick me Bob, I'm neutered.'
Beam waited patiently in the front row with the other two winners until it was time to spin the wheel for the
Showcase Showdown. She had hoped for this moment ever since she was a little girl. Surprised by how heavy the wheel was, she prayed that it would make it all the way around.
Miraculously, the pointer landed directly on $ 1 . Beam had $1 ,000 tacked onto her prize winnings. It was on to the final Showcase Showdown, where her opponent also happened to be a college student. Since Beam was the top winner that day, she was granted the first bid between the two showcases.
Barker glanced over at the two nervous contestants and told them that they should have their bids ready because they were running short on time.
The theme of the first showcase was Light Beams. One of Barker's Beauties sauntered over to Beam's purple booth and presented her with a set of stylish sunglasses. Additional items included a 27 " TV/VCR, a full set of "Star Trek" videos, and a Dodge Intrepid. She chose not to pass the showcase and placed a bid of $18,250. After her bid, the process was repeated for her opponent and then the pro- ducers cut to a commercial break.
The two contestants chatted and joked about sneaking a peak at the slips of paper that Barker had placed above their bids.
Minutes later Beam's knees weakened when the actual retail prices revealed that she won the showdown. Within seconds, her friends were on the stage huddled around the overwhelmed winner. The camera cut to Barker. "This is Bob Barker reminding you to help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered." Overwhelmed by the victory, the girls missed the host's signature parting speech. After the taping, a small group of audience members lined the exit to CBS Studios, waiting to meet that day's top winner. Surprised, Beam humored them by shaking hands and posing for pictures. Arriving 1 2 hours earlier as normal college students. Beam and friends departed having experienced what some could only dream. ■

Leading as many as six classes a week, UREC aerobic instructors prove to be more than energetic
While other students slumbered peacefully on a muggy weekday morning, snug in their beds, Brooke Cashman was up and running. An aerobic instructor at the Universit)' Recreation Center, Cashman pulled on black spandex pants and a matching sports bra, hopped in her car and made her way to campus to teach an early morning class ot Cardio Connection.
Although it was still early for most students, the junior English and modern foreign languages double major enthu- siastically greeted the few that did make it for the class. "We're going to start on the floor, then on steps, then on the slides," said Cashman. "Then you can go home and feel good about yourself"
Her enthusiasm was surprising, as the weather could have made just about anyone sluggish. "It's really hard to come to UREC if I am in a bad mood," she said. "But as soon as I start interacting with people and get the music going, it becomes easier. I get a lot of energy from the people in my classes. They help me as much as 1 help them."
As trucks whizzed by on Interstate 81 outside the windows of the studio, Cashman donned a headset and began leading exercises to the tune of the dance song, "Diva. "
"Grapevine, grapevine, squats left, right and clap," yelled Cashman, her voice barely audible above the music. Despite the music volume, the class flowed along with her instruction, their faces red and moist with perspiration.
After several minutes of exercise, she offered them a short break before beginning the dreaded step exercises. "Get a drink if you need it," said Cashman. "How do you guys feel?" Answering with nods and groans, the students retreated for water while Cashman herself started the step exercises, not even seeming to have broken a sweat.
Cashman gained an interest in aerobics her freshman year when she took a few classes at UREC, which led her
sweat
to take an instructor training course. She began teaching warm-ups in aerobics classes, then graduated to teaching her own classes sophomore year. "I really enjoyed taking aerobics classes here," she said. "I thought teaching would be something I'd be good at, and get me in here and help me to stay healthy."
Cashman and the other student aerobic instructors at UREC seemed to be Rill of boundless energy. "All of the people on our staff are crazy, Type-A personalities, so they're doing tons of other things, too," Cashman said.
On average, Cashman taught five to six classes per week, ranging from Boxing Fitness to Cardio Connection to Kickboxing. "I'm usually in here about nine hours per week," she said. "Instructors have mandatory lifting three umes a week and I try to get in here and participate in other people's classes so I'm not stuck in my own rut."
Cashman also ran on her own to add variety to her workout regimen. "Nonstop aerobics (continued on p. 54) »

In addition to teaching and weightiifting, Cashman and the other instruaors took a two-hour class every Monday on theoretical and practical aerobics instruction. Instructors also had other responsibilities around UREC, including designing UREC bulletin boards and serving as Student Advocate tor Body Acceptance (SABA) representatives.
Tm in charge of the mentor program between new and veteran instructors," said Cashman. "We try to organize activities to build cohesion among the staff." Experienced instructors took "newbies" out to lunch, participated in his or her class, offered helpful advice and sent them encouraging e-mails. "It's a lot of morale boosting and bonding stuff," she said.
Cashman, along with most of the instructors, was also involved with PROMotion, Peers Reaching Others through Motion, a two-credit health sciences class that promoted fitness and self-esteem through activities on campus and at area schools.
PROMotion began as a performance group in 1992 with the goal of promoting the aerobics program while entertaining students. However, it developed into a wellness education program once the group recognized their potential as educators. "Exercise and physical movement empowers people and heightens their overall level of fitness," said Cashman confidendy. "We try to do educational programming to teach peers and students how to take care of their minds and their bodies."
Back in the aerobics studio, Cashman finished a suc- cessfiil combination class of floor, step, slide, mat and finally cool-down exercises. The students put their equipment away and were preparing to leave. "Thanks for dragging yourselves out on a rainy Wednesday. Have a good day," Cashman said.
"I hope they enjoy the class and didn't just come be- cause they thought they had to but because they genuinely enjoyed it," said Cashman optimistically, packing up her gear. "Exercise leads to a healthy lifestyle versus just burning off the beer they drank last weekend."
She believed exercise served a higher purpose, beyond just helping a person keep in shape physically. "I think that having some sort of exercise is essential in everyone's life. It makes your lifestyle better overall. Generally, exercise makes you a happier person. It's important for people to find an exercise that can fit into their lifestyle beyond their college years." ■
Focusing on her target, senior Trisha Twedt carefully sets up her punches before making her move. Aerobic instructors were required to take a two-hour class once a week in addition to teaching their classes and weightiifting. ■ Photo by Melissa Bates

The halls of the Music Building are filled with the sounds of music in September as students prepare for a cappella auditions
"Anyone interested in auditioning tor the Overtones, please take one of these forms," called out a male voice. The first floor lobby of the Music Building was bustling with activity and chatter. Signs advertising The Madison Project, Overtones, Note-oriety and Exit 245 plastered the walls in an attempt to provide direction to the excited mob. The a cappella auditions were reaching their highest pitch.
Wearing a brown beret and nervously clutching his pen, freshman Matt Barclay rested against a wall to fill out applications, the first stage of the auditioning process. Barclay followed the stream of students out ot the Music Building and onto the Quad where the crowd gathered to await further instruction.
"You can audition for as many groups as you want," said one veteran singer to the group sitting on the grass. "It's laid-back. Each group has its own style." Barclay listened intently to the brief but informative speech and borrowed the back of a friend to finish his forms.
"After callbacks," continued another, "you must give us a slip of paper with your top three choices. If yoiu" group of choice picks you, you're in." The students were released. They went back into the building where each group was stationed in a different room.
Barclay scaled the stairs to the third floor with little trepidation. "I think of every audition as a performance. I love performing, so I don't get nervous during perfor- mances," he said. One hall was crowded with guys sitting, talking and hovering around two sign-up lists. The potential
candidates were required to sign up tor times separated into five-minute intervals.
Barclay was slated to sing for The Madison Project at 8:45 and then Exit 245 exactly one hour later. "I've been in a cappella groups but never pop a cappella, that's what's so cool about it, " he said. Referring to his captive audience, he said smiling, "Here, at these auditions, they're forced to listen to me!" Despite the excited hum around him, Barclay seemed calm and confident.
A few rooms away, the voices were much higher. "Reading music definitely helps," said one girl as she fumbled with a notebook. The girls were required to sing scales and a popular song of their choice.
"I bet I'll end up doing something corny that everyone else ends up doing, " speculated another girl sitting nearby. A door opened and a voice belted, "Jennifer!" Every audition was closed to outsiders, so the members of Note-oriety were the only ones listening.
Jennifer Wilbourn, a freshman international business major, never had any formal voice training, but she was a member of several vocal groups in high school and she sang the national anthem at the Washington State Junior Olympics. "I love the rush you get after performing in front of thousands of people," she said.
Note-oriety, the university's first all-female a cappella group, was her first choice. "I heard about them the night before, I figured, what the heck, it will be fun." Wilbourn sang "Crazy" by Patsy Cline for the (continued on p. 58) »
Filling out application forms
was just the first step in the two-day auditioning process. Hundreds of students tried out for the few openings in four a cappella groups: the all- male Exit 245 and The Madison Project, the coed Overtones and the all- female Note-oriety. ■ Photo by Laura Creecy

By midnight Barclay, Wilbourn and the other hundreds of performers had called it a night. The members of Note- oriety scheduled their callbacks for the next evening.
Over 100 girls auditioned for the group. "In the past we have called back between 10 and 25 girls. It all depends on performance. This year we called back 22," said Kelly Myer, president of Note-oriety. They planned on accepting between two and four new members.
Note-oriety was comprised mosdy of non-music majors and there was no preference for year. "We take people's personalities into consideration. We try to picture them on stage with us, but we're all easy to get along with. So it's mostly a great voice and a great ear," explained Myer.
After making their callbacks, Wilbourn was not one of the four new members of Note-oriety. Meanwhile, Barclay was thrilled about making Exit 245. The auditions had gone quite well for him. "I went higher than I'd ever gone before, " he said regarding his vocal range. As they were his first choice, Exit 245 and Barclay made perfect harmony. "Everyone is so nice ... such a friendly vibe," he said.
Less than a week following auditions, Myer was playing piano in a large lecture room in the Music Building. She experimented with the melody to Damn Yankees' "Can You

All tour new members of the group arrived early for the evening practice. Note-oriety practiced three times a week for about two hours and recorded their first CD in December for release in the spring.
"I look forward to singing again, " said sophomore Erin Coffey, a recent addition to Note-oriety. "I haven't sang since high school." She did not expect to be one of the fortunate few to make the group. The girls joked around with her. At first they pretended Coffey had not been chosen. "They were mean to me," she laughed, "they said 'We're sorry things didn't work out!"
All the new members agreed the Note-oriety girls were actually very friendly during the auditions. "It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be because they're so nice," said freshman math major Erin Williams, who was looking forward to "making friends while making music."
New members prepared for their first performance and auditions became a distant memory. As it recessed in their minds, the stress that accompanied those tense moments was soon forgotten. During that night and the ensuing callbacks, the enormous field was narrowed to a select few. The difficult selection process for each of the musical groups ended in elation for some, sadness for others. While the happy few sang their own praises, the others waited for their opportunity to bask in the warmth of the spotlight. ■

The Student Employment Office (SEO) offered both undergraduate and graduate students a choice between two work programs: federal work-study and institutional employ- ment. The federal work-study program was awarded by the Office of Financial Aid. Students qualified for this program by establishing some sort of financial need. The university funded the Institutional Employment Program through which any student could work on campus.
According to SEO recruiter Chris Gill, nearly 4,000 smdents had jobs on-campus in over 50 departments. Three- himdred of these students qualified for work-smdy. Typically, students worked an average of 10-12 hours a week and re- ceived minimum wage for their efforts.

sounds were absorbed into the steady hum of background noise. Sounds came from the conversation between several students sitting in the living room. The foosball table pro- vided outbursts following goals or great saves by the little rod-impaled players. The only two places noise did not emanate from were the television, which was not hooked up, and the two silent warriors dueling on a chessboard. The cracking became a louder splintering and then a sudden crash as sophomore Chip Larkin demolished the chair in which he had been sitting. Uncontrollable laughter followed the initial shock, and the pieces of the broken chair were later hung on the wall to create a coat rack.
Eleven students lived in The 625 House on S. Main Street. The roommates, sophomores Larkin and Lee Crandell, and juniors Ryan Simms, Joshua Earman, Louis Miller, Josh Stoltzfus, Geoft Whetham, Todd Hancock, Drew Beckley, Pete Ferrara and senior Adam \SChisman shared the house but also shared their Christian feith. Eight residents were members of InterVarsity and two others were involved in Young Life, both Christian fellowship groups.
Located among so many named houses, The 625 House received its name three years before. The house was enormous, defined by the wrap-around porch and two giant white pillars facing South Main Street. Since the name's inception, the house held an annual Halloween party. Last year's party, which was alcohol-free — as all parties at The 625 House were — hosted Miller's band Wellspring. So many people attended that the floor-support beams in the basement collapsed. The first floor was cleared and the beams were repaired before the party resumed.
The basement frightened visitors, complete with an old stage, an organ, poor lighting and piles of rubble. Such a scary theater was perfect for a November showing of "The Blair Witch Project."
Although the basement was scary, the house had an open- door policy. The residents were often found hanging out on the front porch. The columns on either side of the front steps supported the overhang that covered the porch.
The shared beliefe of the residents appeased the problems that arose from the crowded house. "We rely on our common faith in Christ. With that, there is nothing we can't get through," said Crandell. ■

Strength and conditioning coach Patrick Borkowski devotes his time to making good athletes great
The athletic department didn't sell many tickets to watcl the football players' bench press in the Bridgeforth Stadium weight room. At 7:00 a.m. during the week, most student: weren't lined up outside Godwin 218 to see the wrestlin: team do power squats. And very few people remembered !' the last time they read a newspaper article about what thJ| field hockey team had for breakfast. What interested Dukq fans was who won games and who made the big plays, noti how the teams and players prepared to win. So if student weren't worried about what the athletes did off the field, who was?
Six individuals of the Strength and Conditioning Pro gram shared the responsibility of improving the performanc of all 27 NCAA Division I sanctioned teams. According t(| the Strength and Conditioning Program handbook, it was the strength and conditioning coaches mission to "teach tht values of hard, intelligent, consistent work" for the purpos of increasing the athlete's capability to perform. The program motto was simple and achievable: "We help good athlete become great. "
Greg Werner, director of strength and conditioning; supervised the entire program and the five other coaches! Jim Durning, Noel Durfey, Patrick Borkowski, John Co: and Delane Fitzgerald. Together, they upheld Werner's philosophy of assisting any athlete that wanted help whi implementing the components of athleticism: strength, po' flexibility, speed, agility, footwork, endurance, metabol condition, body composition, mental focus and motivation
The coaches were required to understand the mentalit of each sport and adapt to the psychological frame of min of the different sports. Although no sport received more attention than another, certain sports, {continued on p. 66}

having hands-on exper- ience with athletes. Senior Patrick Borkowski, a kinesi- ology major with a oncentrarion in exercise science, became involved in strength ind conditioning early in his college career Borkowski vorked for a physical therapy clinic in Woodbridge, Va., as a ihysical therapist technician. He assisted the physical thera- list in nontechnical patient care. He received his personal rainer certification in August 1997 through the American Zouncil of Exercise. After becoming a fitness assistant at 'REC in May 1998, Borkowski completed a practicum for lis kinesiology major He believed that the practicum was a ;ood way to learn "basic knowledge about technique work lifts) and fundamental exercise knowledge." In January 999, Borkowski was promoted to cenified fitness assistant vhere he assessed the components of fitness in UREC i Participants. He also began writing exercise programs to lelp the participants meet their short- and long-term goals. Continuing his involvement in strength and conditioning forkowski interned as the strength and conditioning coach i or the University of Miami football program in the sum- (M net of 1999. During the three-month, unpaid internship, ^ iorkowski motivated the players and supervised their /orkouts. He credited much of the knowledge he applied hat summer to the classes he took at JMU, specifically
3H 'iomechanics, human anatomy, exercise physiology and •H lUtrition. As a highly respected coach, Borkowski had no '^^ 'roblems instructing the Miami players. "The players call IP ou 'coach' and listen to everything you say, especially if ou let them know why they're doing what you tell them." Working 55-60 hours a week at Miami, Borkowski spent a
great deal of time with the football players. Monday, Wednes- day and Friday were strength days which started at 7:00 a.m. Every two hours a group of 20 players would report to Borkowski's station. He met with five groups throughout the day. His responsibilities included keeping the players motivated, warming them up, stretching them and making sure they were putting forth their best effon. On Tuesdays, speed and ^ility days, the players worked on sprints, starts, quick biu-sts, proper running techniques for optimal speeds, and cutting and turning drills. On Thursdays, flexibility training days, the players worked the abdominal region and the lower back. Additionally, Borkowski and the other coaches were assigned four players for the summer and were responsible for the performance of those players during each day's workout.
Although Borkowski enjoyed working with the Miami football team, he preferred having a variety of teams and players. Among the teams with which Borkowski worked were cross-country, track, wrestling, women's swimming, cheer- leading, basketball and lacrosse. According to both Werner and Borkowski, athletes were extremely disciplined and were not penalized for their lack of performance, but only for not being prepared. "Sometimes our expectations are too high, so we make alterations as need be and give them a set goal, " said Werner.
Borkowski appreciated the athletes' efforts and said, "I like working with the wresding team because they're very dedicated and will do exactly what you tell them."
Borkowski, who wrote the wrestling team's programs and circuits, said much of his knowledge was acquired through application of classes, experience and books he read outside of the school's curriculum. Attending conferences such as the Idea Conference in Baltimore, which holds biomechanical and sports nutritional seminars, contributed to his better understanding of strength and conditioning. Borkowski hoped to continue his work for college athletes, and eventually become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and direct a strength and conditioning program.
So for every touchdown, three-pointer or home-run, there was a strength and conditioning coach smiling, knowing that there was a part of him that shared in that success. And for every fumble, turnover or strikeout, there was also a strength and conditioning coach who knew the next day's workout might start a little bit earlier. And that he might be little bit tougher. And that the gym lights might burn a little bit longer. ■

Virginia Lt. Gov. John H. Hoger speaks
words of widsom to the graduating
class and a record crowd in May
"You see, in marathons — as in life — you win because you've dreamed, you win because you've dared, you win because you've tried with all that is in you," Virginia Lt. Gov. John H. Hager told the graduating class of 1999.
With mixed emotions ranging from sadness to elation, spring commencement marked the end of one of life's marathons and a beginning of another. Seniors crossed the finish line in college and began a new race that involved a variety of choices including careers, traveling or graduate school. "Jean-Paul Sartre once said that the best measure of our success is the ratio between what we might have been, and what we have become," said Hager. "By virtue of your being here today, you all have proven that you are capable of great feats. Commencement means beginning. Don't let it also be the end."
The graduates sat on the Bridgeforth Stadium field, some with their caps decorated with writing or pictures, and listened to Hager liken life to a marathon, noting that success in each requires dedication, hardiness, intelligence, integrity and hard work. Due to complications fi-om polio, Hager had been wheelchair-bound for 25 years. Despite his disability, he was a successful businessman and had won several marathon races. He encouraged the new graduates to live their lives to the fullest. "It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, 'Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you.'"
Hager told the graduates to look forward to all of the possibilities that the future would bring. "The new century will be filled with new challenges, and you are the ones who can turn those challenges into oppor- niniries, hope and promise for all our people, children and families."
Yet the occasion was memorable for more than bestowing diplomas and sending graduates into the world. During the ceremony a record 2,300 graduates marched in a procession over 30 minutes long. The audience of more than 20,000 parents, friends and guests was also the largest in school history.
Following the main ceremony in the stadium, students from the university's five undergraduate colleges parted and made their way to smaller ceremonies where individual degrees were awarded.
The rest of the afternoon was spent celebrating at restaurants, parties, barbecues or other gatherings. Some of the new alumni looked back on their college years, reminiscing their favorite memories, refusing to leave the university. Others contemplated the open door in front of them, ready and willing to enter the world and leave college behind them. But a few were trapped in the moment, recalling possibly Hager's most important lesson of the day: "I certainly haven't finished first in every marathon I've entered — but in finishing, I've won in all of them." ■

The Class of 2003 hopped into campus Ufe with a little help from amphibian friends. Freshmen orientation underwent a number of changes, the addition of FROGs being one of them. In the past, students attended two-day summer sessions and moved in only a day before the upperclassmen. Orientation Program Assis- tants, although helpfiil, were far outnumbered by the amount of confiised and anxious freshmen. The program needed help. Although not the same as those found in Newman Lake, FROGs began jumping all over campus.
Under the direction of Steve Grande, the associate director of the Center for Leadership, Service and Transition, approximately 100 stu- dents volunteered their time as FReshmen Orien- tation Guides (FROGs). Applicants submitted their suggestions on how to assist freshmen and were asked to anend a training session beginning on Aug. 22, 1999. Student FROGs trained from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday through Wednesday and attended large group lectures. Grande called the pioneering FROG group "incredibly enthu- siastic and caring" and "very sensitive to the transition issues freshmen face."
Despite the exhaustive itinerary, FROGs Meghan Doherty and Ryan Eppehimer enjoyed the week. "I was excited about the group discus-
sions. Having someone like us is comforting for freshmen," said Doherty, a junior inter- disciplinary social sciences major.
Eppehimer, a junior accounting major, said, "I had more fun this year than I did my freshman year."
Freshmen also agreed that the FROGs were very helpfrJ. Freshman SMAD major Catherine Staples said, "They're great. I give them four-and-a-half stars."
Each FROG was assigned to counsel 30 freshmen during the four-day orientation; however, their job didn't end there. They were available to assist students throughout the semester, making the transition even smoother.
"My orientation guy sucked," commented sophomore FROG Kevin Root about his own freshmen orientation experience. "I think he could have made it a little better. I want all these kids to like JMU as much as I do."
FROGs and people alike agreed that the new system of orientation was a success. "I was pretty impressed with the organization. Every- thing ran smoothly," said Doherty.
According to Grande, freshmen "succeed when they have people to relate to," but in this case FROGs were just what the "green" freshmen needed. ■

Junior John Kilmartin balances classes, swimming and an active faith as he trains for the triathlon in the 2000 World Championships in Perth, Australia
Standing on an ocean shore halfway across the world, your toes clench the cool morning sand in anxiety. Surrounded by numerous, talented foreign athletes, the myriad colors of their uniforms crash into a swirl of white in your mind. The red, white and blue you represent burns in your heart. The crashing waves echo in your ears as you gaze out into the vast, unpredictable waters of the Indian. Preparation for the next few hoiu^s begins: you consider the 1.5km swim, batding the strong ocean current; you think of the difficult, 40km bike trek through the rugged Outback; and you envision passing a docile kangaroo in the final stretch of your 10km nm. Jimior John Kilmardn faced such a challenge. The varsit)' letterman qualified to represent the United States in the 2000 World Championships in Perth, Australia, to compete in the ultimate triathlon.
A competitive swimmer in high school, Kilmartin competed in his first triathlon as a rising senior. Competing triggered his instant admiration and love for the event. His first competition was not taken too seriously — he forgot his running shoes and wore a kid-sized bike helmet — but it inspired Kilmartin to pursue triathlons on a more intense level. Following graduation, Kilmartin became serious about triathlon training. Although he focused on being a swimmer, in the back of his mind he waited for another opportunity to be a triathlete.
Kilmartin was recognized as an extraordinary talent and was quickly recruited by swimming head coach Brooks Teal. Looking for a school with a prominent team but also a strong faith community, Kilmartin {continued on p. 74) »

(continued from p. 73) » explored the Christian fellowship programs while on a recruiting visit. His trip sparked some unease. The social scene discouraged him. What Kilmartin described as a "sign from God" overpowered his discourage- ment and convinced him that he found a new home for the next four years. The sign was Jodi Jacoby. Not only was Jacoby, then a sophomore, captain of the soccer team, she was also steadfast in her Chrisdan beliefs. Kilmartin believed had he not met Jacoby that night, he would have gone elsewhere to pursue his swimming career. In Jacoby, he
found someone with shared beliefs, a common faith and an abstention from drinking. Kilmartin knew where he wanted to be.
Kilmartin's first year was an exciting and fulfilling one as he immediately found his niche both in and out of the pool. Unfortunately, his sophomore season was cut short. He suffered a broken collarbone several weeks into the season. Kilmartin was forced to put his triathlon training on hold.
On June 5, 1999, tryouts were held in Clermont, Fla. for one of five open slots on the 1999 U.S. World Cham- pionship team. After narrowly missing the qualifying dme on the team earlier that simimer, Kilmanin viewed this meet as his second chance. It was a win-win situation: making the team would be another adventure, but the experience would be a life-long memory. Kilmartin raced well and qualified for the third spot on the team. He could barely contain his excitement and astonishment. Although his dream was becoming a reality, Kilmartin didn't want to get caught up in the fame or commotion. "I want to live this experience for what it's worth. I don't want to set high,
lofty goals for myself but live each day, race, and let the Lord do the rest. '
Kilmartin traveled to Montreal for the 1999 World Championships on September 1 1. He competed in the 20- and-imder age group, finishing 1 5th, and the third American triathlete overall. The '99 Worlds set the stage for what soon would be the most significant event of his athletic career. Kilmartin then traveled to St. Joseph, Mo., where he qualified for the U.S. team that would compete in the 2000 World Championships.
"A year ago if you had told me I would be where I am today, I would've laughed. 1 thank and praise the Lord every day for where I am today," said Kilmartin. Although he had six months to prepare for Austrailia, there was much to do. Kilmartin worked with professional running and biking trainers, yet his training didn't start until he had fulfilled his obligation to the swim team. Running coach Craig Lowry worked with Kilmartin beginning in January 1999. "Sky is the limit," said Lowry about Kilmartin's potential. "He has definite talent."
Les Welch advised Kilmartin in bicycling fijndamentals. As a biking consultant, Welch concentrated on position, technique, aerodynamics and helping Kilmartin become a more fluent and efficient biker. "John is extremely unusual because he is a true novice cyclist. He has the potential to become a famous athlete with practice," said Welch.
When the swim season finished in mid-February, the bidk of Kilmartin's training began. He swam six days a week for an hour-and-a-half each day, hiked seven days a week for a total of 300 miles, and ran 30 miles a week. With a schedule so demanding, Kilmartin kept himself on a strict diet of "carbos, carbos, carbos" and ate as much of them as possible. The week before the big event, he cut out any food that he considered even "half-bad."
With such dedication to his preparation, Kilmartin stood proud in the company of the world's finest athletes in April. The gaze of wonderment, surveying the Indian Ocean, shifted to fierce confidence hurled at his competitors. His family and his swim team cheered his name from the finish line, but Kilmartin knew there was an even greater power than their support: "God is doing it all and I'm just along for the ride." ■

Junior Brian Harms led his team of workers through the house, pointing out to the left with a gloved hand. Walking across the solid wood floors layered with sawdust and building materials, the president of the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity gave instructions. The house had spent the past year in various stages of renovation, and it was time to implement the next phase. Beginning September 1998, Habitat for Human- ity worked weekends alongside Harrisonburg Hope Commimity Builders stripping the 150-year-old house down to its frame and rebuilding it with all the modern conveniences for its new owner, Ellen Walker.
Even with its new face, walking through the house was like taking a walk back in time. Known as the Lucy Simms House to the Harrisonburg community in remembrance of the former slave and original owner in the 1850s, the house had seen a number of residents during its lifetime. During the Great De- pression, a family of 1 1 had lived in its quaners, taking up every available space in the house, even the cramped spaces of the dirt-floored cellar.
Walker, a single Harrisonburg resident and Gibbons Hall employee, had been in the market for a house when she first eyed the ramshackle remains at 231 E. Johnson St. Sitting on a quarter-acre lot and surrounded by modern residences, the house feced demolition. Community residents, recognizing its significant history, pressured the city to restore the house and make it habitable again. "Hope Community Builders bought the house and was planning to destroy it and build a new one on the same property. After receiving pressure from local resi- dents to restore the house, however, they decided to find a buyer," said Harms.
"When I walked in, I fell in love with the staircase and decided this was the house I wanted," said Walker. The house, valued at $91,000, faced over $52,000 in {continued on p. 78) »

After paying $10,000 for the property, Hope Builders required Walker to put "sweat equity" into her new estate. This agreement required her to work a certain number of hours in exchange for labor from Hope Builders and student organizations such as Habitat. "For the past year, I've worked on this house every weekend, taking it apart and building it up again. It's been my life," said Walker.
Walker and the Habitat members spent a year removing old boards, clearing vines from the aluminum siding and removing the crude plaster walls made of chicken wire, mud and horsehair. "This has been one of the most enjoyable projects I've worked on because of Ellen. Seeing her each weekend, working alongside her and also seeing her on cam- pus at D-Hall has made it more special for me," said Harms.
After completion, the house had heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical systems for the first time since its construction. All of the original doors and the tin roof were kept to reflect the history of the house. "The frame is made from real rwo-by-four oak beams so this house is smrdier than most of the houses they build today," said Asrat Gebre, executive director of Hope Community Builders.
With her new house. Walker focused on decoradng ideai and dreamed of settling in. "I'm so frustrated, it seems like we've been working on this house forever," she said. "I can't wait until it's done. There's nothing like walking into your own home, being able to kick off your shoes and do as you please." ■

Isaac Carter was too late in hearing the screeching tires and the retorts from the gun. He wasn't fast enough to dodge bullets. Isaac was paralyzed. His distressed mother, Susan, had to accept the enormous emotional burden. On top of that, more realistic problems surfaced. Susan had to assume the financial responsibilities of her son's medical care and help him deal with living in a place inaccessible for disabled persons.
Isaac, destined to roll through life in a wheel- chair, had difficulties assimilating to his new lifestyle. His mother had problems juggling the support of her three children and the costs of Isaac's debilitation. Susan Carter needed a help- ing hand. Central Valley Habitat for Humanity, Inc., reached out to the Carters, providing the assistance the family sought.
The campus Habitat chapter responded to Central Valley, their parent chapter, with a financial contribution as well as an offer of labor. Habitat, in cooperation with the Greek community and under the supervision of associates from Nielsen Construction Co., agreed to build a house in Grottoes, Va., for the Carter family.
Founded in 1 992 by Rev. Rick Hill, campus minister for Presbyterian Campus Ministry, the JMU Chapter of Habitat for Humanity was officially recognized by the university as an organization in October 1993.

accepting the remainder of production and construction costs. The house in Grottoes was the campus Habitat chapter's fourth such projea in the Shenandoah Valley area.
Habitat for Humanity International, the parent organization that oversaw every local chapter, offered affordable houses to low- income families. Habitat International made no profit from the sale price and charged no interest on the mortgage. An average three- bedroom house in the United States cost $34,300 to build. Although Habitat built the wheelchair-accessible house for the Carter family, it was not merely a gift. Any family that accepted a house averaged 450 hours of "sweat equity hours," working on their own house or another Habitat project.
In 1999, Habitat for Humanity International completed their 80,000th house, but on Jan. 16, Susan Carter was happy to have one wheelchair- accessible home dedicated to her family. ■
A few weeks before the house's dedication, members of Habitat and the Greek community display their progress. The house was built to be wheelchair- accessible for Isaac Carter, one of the new house's residents. ■ Photo by Todd Grogan

Nassau, Bahamas
Feb. 17
The group of 600 excited passengers set sail out of Nassau, Bahamas on Feb. 17. Their
destination: Havana.
{continued from p. 81) » Senior Nick MaJdonado was fortunate to experience just that and much more through the Semester at Sea program, offered by the Institute for Ship- board Education and the Univetsity of Pittsburgh. Maldonado applied for the program during the first semester of his sopho- more year after attending an interest meeting sponsored by the Office of Residence Life. Prospective students were re- quired to complete a fiill semester at an accredited college or university, have obtained a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or above and have written an essay explaining some- thing significant in world history.
Once he enrolled for the spring 1999 semester, Maldo- nado selected four of 50 lower and upper division classes that covered a large variety of disciplines. His selections in- cluded; Histon,' of Africa, World Literature, Theaters of the World and a Core Class, intended to enhance the field ex- perience gained in each county. These classes were 50 minutes long and met every other day, with the exception of the Core Class, which met ever)' day.
The S.S. Universe Explorer provided the ultimate floating classroom, equipped with study loimges, a librar\', theater, student imion, bookstore and even a swimming pool.
The trip cost close to Si 3,250, which included tuirion, room, board and passage fair, and lasted from Feb. 17 to May 28. When the ship returned to the States, himdreds of parents and relarives stood on the dock to greet the seasoned travelers. A plane flew by canying a banner that read, "Thanks S.A.S. for a lifetime of memories."
"1 don't think that anyone really wanted to ever leave the ship at that point," said Maldonado, looking back on his three-month journey. »
On Feb. 28, 1999, Semester at Sea participants celebrate Neptune Day. Historically, this was the day that sailors paid homage to King Neptune in order to ensure safe passage as they crossed the equator. Senior Nick Maldonado, along with his classmates, participated in a ceremony where they progressed from lowly pollywog status to high shellback status. "First they dump fish guts on your head, then you kiss a dead fish, then you are knighted. After the ceremony 38 girls decided to get their heads shaved."

Photographs and literature were on display in Carrier Librar)-, documentaries were shown on televisions in Taylor Down Under and graduates noted for outstanding alumni contributions to the university were invited back to their alma mater. Each of these activities was scheduled during inaugural week, the week of Sept. 13, 1999.
With only tour presidential inaugurations before Dr. Linwood Rose's, inauguration wasn't steeped in tradition. Presidential terms lasted an average of 22 years throughout the universit)'"s histor)'. Rose's predecessor. Dr. Ronald Carrier, saw 27 years pass during his period of leadership. With over nvo decades between new presidents, the Student ^Embassadors were determined to make Rose's inauguration memorable, and did so by planning a variety ot activities for the week.
Tuesday showcased two of the week's most visible events. Dr. Rose and his family came to campus for the 1999 Dr. Rose Impersonation Contest on The Commons, and later went to Gibbons Hall to enjoy dinner with the student body.
Six students entered the impersonation contest. Parti- cipants arrived in suits, speaacles and suspenders prepared to imitate the fifth president of the university. A few contestants even added gray highlights to their hair to be more convincing.
Senior Keith Fletcher, the contest's ultimate winner, also acted as master of ceremonies. "A lot of luiderclassmen haven't had a chance to get to know Dr. Rose," said Fletcher about the contest's purpose. "It's important to let them know he's a person and that they can approach him."
A combination of appearance accuracy and crowd re- sponse scores resulted in the final f)oints for each competitor.
Fletcher finished first with 107 points followed by senior Nick Langridge who earned 102.5 points. Finishing behind them were Broderick Bond, Jeremy D'Errico, Jason Shaffer and Patrick Horst.
Fletcher won his choice of 10 out of 20 donated prizes ranging from airline tickets to the JMU football game vs. Maine to gift certificates from Harrisonburg restaurants.
"Initially, I thought it was a little silly," said Dr. Rose about the idea of a contest. "But I think it's a great balance with the formality on Friday.'
Even though Rose returned home for a lew hours after the contest, his day was not over. After changing into more informal attire of slacks and a sports shin. Rose made his way back to campus with his family by his side. Together, they joined students for dinner at D-Hall.
"We feel it's important to know the students," said Mrs. Rose about the reasoning behind the visit. "Plus, the food's good."
After arriving at 5:30 p.m., the Roses made their way past the finely decorated tables with crisp white tablecloths and vases with single red roses, to Line 3 where they filled their plates with some of their favorite foods, prepared especially for their visit.
As the Roses senled into their seats at a table with mem- bers of the SGA, a pleasant evening of conversation began. While classics like "Respect" by Aretha Franklin filtered through the D-Hall speakers, the president and his wife chatted with students about tootball, summer activities and the inauguration. "Most of us had read about the inauguration planning in The Breeze," said junior Peter Swerdzewski, "But we talked about how it was affecting him personally."
^6 !-Vuures
Most students agreed that the Rose dinner at D-HaJl was one of many successful events that made the president more visible to the student body. "I think it shows a close relationship between him and the students, " and junior Samuel Maltese.
Sophomore Josh Fultz agreed, "I feel like he's down to earth and I can approach him."
On Thursday, the tocus of inaugural week turned to the faculty. In the morning, faculty members were invited to the Academic Affairs Breakfast in the Shenandoah Room of Chandler Hall. As the administration and faculty finished breakfast, preparations were being completed for that evening's grand event.
No inaugural process would have been complete with-
out an inaugural ball. On the evening ot Sept. 13, the lower level of College Center was transformed into a sophisticated, lavishly decorated ballroom, appropriate for guests such as Carrier and Zane D. Showker. A number of guests made financial donations to the uni- versity. The most notable gift was a $1 million donation from alumni Stephen and Mary "Dee Dee " Leeolou ('78). Their contribution was the largest alumni donation in the university's history.
According to Dr. Rose, the ball was a thank you to alumni, friends and faculty that had been generous to the university. With luck, these donations would set the standard of prosperity for the president and the university for years to come. ■

Four months before the turn of the millennium, the reigns of the imiversity were officially turned over during the inauguration of a new president. In front ot an audience of hundreds of faculty members, students and friends of the university, former president Dr. Ronald Carrier officially passed the torch into the capable hands of Dr. Linwood Rose.
The Sept. 17, 1999, inaue^^^ was a two-hour ceremony held on the Quadr j-^^vent which Rose called, "a celebration of our projwj^itage and fiiture," warranted a day off for students anofaculty members. Freshmen were required to be present as a part of their orientation program, however most chose not to attend.
The ceremony began with a procession of student representatives who entered to the tune of the trumpeting Marching Royal Dukes. The JMU Wind Symphony pro- vided the music tor the morning, which included a song entitled "Madison, James Madison," written specifically tor the event by 1 990 graduate Larry Clark.
As the presidency changed hands for the first time in nearly three decades, audience members responded favorably to speeches and the formal atmosphere of the occasion.
Senior Kara Leppert, an SGA senator, compared the new president to Carrier, known afFeaionately to students as "Uncle Ron" during his 27 years of sendee to the community.
"Dr. Rose is more reserved," said Leppert. "He has a slap-on-the-back style of leadership. I think it's effective."
Students appeared to have high expectations for the new president, who served as vice president in recent years and acting president during the year prior to the inauguration.
In response to JMU's steady rise to the top of southern public universities, international student Filip Ghitescu, a senior, said, "I want to see JMU in the top of all imiversiues, not just in the south."
Nick Pelzer on the other hand, was concerned about Rose's relationship with students. A resident adviser in Hoffman Hall, Pelzer echoed the sentiments of his residents when he said, "I hope he does more than just talk about helping students."
The freshman class was asked to attend in order to get acquainted with Rose, his policies {continued on p. 91) »

Senior Brian EUis was realistic about the occasion, "His influence on my college career is so limited."
Although he agreed with others that the inauguration was an important, memorable event, Ellis felt one year would not provide Rose an opportunity to make a dis- jcernible impact on the graduating seniors.
Other upperclassmen were more vocal about the visible lack in student attendance which was evident in the amount of empt)' chairs.
Jimior Jack Kelly said, "This doesn't happen very often. You should care enough to come out. "
Despite the shortage of students in attendance. Rose had an important message for the campus in his speech. Rose , oudined his goals within the framework of his theme, "All Together One, " which he planned to implement immediately. Since he was named president in fall 1998, he set tour specific goals for his presidency: to keep students and their needs as the institution's primary concern; to increase resources to support facult)', staff and programs; to accept and
meet cal^Cr accountabilit)' from the public and lawmakers; and to unite the campus communit}' in common purpose.
In his final words of the day. Rose acknowledged that changes take time, and emphasized the importance of patience and determination.
"As devoted educators, we have said, 'Just wait, you will
be pleased with the final product. Wait until our 20-year
olds are 40, 50, 60. Most will advance the public good, grow
the economy, become involved in their communities, serve
others and improve the quality of life.'" ■

Dance company brings art to the srage
Dressed alike in stylized, bright-colored costumes, four women entered the stage and awaited the start of the music. Strains of upbeat music filled Latimer-SchaefFer Theatre and the dancers began to move in a series of controlled yet fluid movements. Roiling, gliding, jumping, the dancers even used each other to express their artistry.
The modern dancers in the Virginia Repertory Dance Company did not sparkle in tutus or don tap shoes for their performances. Instead, they used their bodies to express the emotions of modern dance.
By joining the exclusive company, junior and senior dance members had the opportunity to work with nationally and internationally acclaimed choreographers. Potential members imderwent a rigorous audition. "They require you to pick up movement quickly and perform it right away," said senior Tara McNeeley. Eight dancers made up the company that was under the direction of dance professor Kate Trammell. Throughout the semester, guest choreo- graphers worked with the all-female group in preparation for performances during the year.
"Working with the guest ardst is always exciting because not only are we learning a piece but we're making great con- tacts throughout the dance world," said McNeeley.
The company, which included juniors Courtney Hand and Aaron Wine and seniors McNeeley, Kelly Bartnik, Jill Bradley, Marisa Impalli, Kristi Nimmo and Anna Smith had one main performance as part of the Masterpiece Season in addition to a touring schedule. At the end of fall semester, months of hard work culminated in a six-piece show, with numbers ranging in tone from upbeat to dramatic.
Many of the dancers had been involved with the art form in one way or another since they were very young. McNeeley joined a modern dance studio at age five. "I was excited, though when you are young it is usually more of a creative movement class until you are older. I ended up staying until my senior year." Hand danced at the Richmond Ballet from the age of seven.
Under the direction of dance professor Kate Trammell, three dancers perform a dramatic piece. The Virginia Repertory Dance Company was comprised of eight juniors and seniors. The company performed one main recital in the fall and held other performances on their spring tour. ■ Photo by Laura Greco
In addition to their classes and other dance ensembles, the members of the company spent three to four hours Monday through Thursday practicing. They also had rehearsals and residencies, or workshops with the outside choreographers. "It takes huge amounts of time that any nondancer cant understand. It's very physically, mentally and emotionally draining," said Hand.
Devoting so much of themselves to their art had a huge payoff. Not only did the members develop relationships within the company but they also had the chance to work with the professionals they admired. "Lisa Race was amazing in everything, an amazing person and dancer. I love her movement. It (Water Landings, which premiered at their fall performance) was my favorite piece in the concert," said Hand, who was also impressed by a guest choreographer Fin Walker from London. "She inspires me. I want to go to London so badly now. Her movement is so detailed and intense."
Spending their time with the Virginia Repertory Dance Company allowed the eight members to gain hands-on experience in performing. The company performed for university audiences but also for children in the area. "I love seeing how excited kids can be with dance, and how eager they are to learn from you," said McNeeley.
When the lights dimmed and the music began, the hours of practice and preparation were all worthwhile for the group. Sharing their love for modern dance with the university community was anything but just routine. ■

the elearic guitar, junior Jay McMiller on drums and nonstudent Adam Carpenter on guitar. « Photo by Laura Creecy
"Cheidk one, mic check one," called a voice. "Wake up, Hillside Hall." An amp crackled and buzzed. A guitarist strummed a few chords and the necessary adjustments were made at the back of the smaller of the two stages. Septemberfest was off to a rocky stan.
It was 1 1:45 a.m. The Sept. 18 show was scheduled to begin at noon but the sound system was not working correcdy. Students already began to wander onto the field and were seated on the grass expectantly waiting.
The Franklins, a local student band, had been there since 1 1 a.m. and did not expect to have trouble with the sound system. "They didn't tell us we needed a PA. It's all part of a learning experience, that's typical," said drummer Jay McMiller. Septemberfest was the biggest show The Franklins had ever played. Sponsored by Tau Kappa Epsilon and the Knights of Columbus, the outdoor concert benefited Special Olympics. TKE brother Billy MofFett, a junior, explained, "Tlie Franklins were friends with some brothers and they played at a beach part}' we had. " Also playing before the headlining bands were two other student bands: The Naked Anne and West Water Street. The headlining bands included Hippopotamus, Ki:Theor\', Fighting Gravity and Emmet Swimming.
The Franklins had been together for a little over a year and usually played at bars, apartments and Greek fimctions. The\' preferred to play at apartment parties, where they passed around a tip bucket. Originally playing under the name Dr.
Spawn, the band changed their name when they heard that someone had called them the "money band."
David Hailey, the lead singer, was the only senior in the band and he, according to fan Kelly Harding, "demands attention on stage. He has the biggest mouth I've ever seen!" Mark Pinnow, a sophomore, was the bass guitarist and had been playing the upright bass and bass guitar since middle school. Junior Andy Trice played lead electric guitar. "It's hypnotizing to watch him play," said Harding of Trice's performance. McMiller, also a jumor, was described as an "awesome drummer " by one fan. Adam Carpenter, the only nonstudent, studied at Berkley School of Music and moved up fiom Alabama to play with the
band. The group described their musical style as a combination of Phish and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Septemberfest, which lasted until 6 p.m., began with a performance by West Water Street, also comprised of students.i They played a set of fiinky blues songs charaaerized by comical and imconventional lyrics. Rippopotamus and The Naked Anne followed them, and then The Franklins were scheduled to perform a 30-minute set.
Rippopotamus played an upbeat, 90-minute set on the main stage. Dressed all in black, the eight-member band's music was a mixmre of funk and ska rhythms. With lyrics like, "I'm just an average guy with a libido as high as the sky," the band entertained a Virginia crowd for the first time
The Naked Anne, a trio of guys, played a short but roUii set of punk and hardrock sor^. The highlight of the performance was an appearance by a male student clad only in an adult diaper and sneakers.

"We apologize for any technical difficulties we had today — it's a long story, guys," said Hailey to the audience a^ The Franklins prepared to play. A few moments before the) were set to perform, a TKE brother informed them that Fighting Gravity had to leave early and would therefore have to play earlier. Despite the scheduling mix-up. The Franklins' music did not seem to suffer. They began with an original, "Dave's Jungle Boogie," and included two cover songs in their set, "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith and "Take On Me" by A-Ha. The group played only five of the 10 songs they had planned
"They're pretty tight," said senior Mike Shaw, a music industry major. "It's obvious that they're all talented musicians.
Rippopotamus dnimmer Richard Gordan offered advice for up-and-coming bands like The Franklins. "Don't get too caught up in tPjing to do the hip thing, trying to follow trends is a waste of time. It's better doing what you want to do and playing from the heart, it'll sound better."
Schiavone McGee of Fighting Gravity also enjoyed listening to The Franklins. "They sounded really great. I like how they went from a jam style to a group style."
Toward the end of the evening Emmet Swimming impressed the crowd with their usual fare of upbeat rock and the sunset over Hillside Hall drew Septemberfest to a close, The Franklins stayed to watch both The Naked Anne's anc part of Ki:Theory's performance and left with some good advice and a healthy dose of experience. ■

Seven percent of the student body chooses to pursue a senior project in order to graduate with distinction
A lone student sat slumped in a back corner of the library. The frosty December wind whipped against the pane of glass. The room was desolate. The majority of students had left tor the holidays.
This particular weary student was one of a different breed. She was one of approximately 700 honors students and she was diligently researching materials for her thesis paper. At an average length of 60 pages, the project was not something to start the night before. In fact, students graduating from the Honors Program produced about 90 papers, each requiring extensive research and mentoring, each year. Seven percent of the student population successfully completed papers. Each project was bound into a book and shelved for posterity in Hillcrest, Carrier Library and in the library archives.
The honors thesis had been the defining feature of the Honors Program since its inception in 1965. Since then, the projea had served as the crowning glory of many students* academic career. Many students were surprised to find that any one with a grade point average of 3.25 or higher could complete the project and graduate with distinction, not only those who were part of the program. The thesis itself covered anything from literature to science to dance.
At the end of their junior year, students submitted a topic proposal. The potential thesis required acceptance by not only the Honors Program, but one faculty member who served as the project adviser and two others who created a committee of readers. Each faculty member signed off on each stage of the endeavor.
Dr. Joanne Gabbin, an English professor and director of the Honors Program, admitted that, "If I'd had the oppor- tunity at the undergraduate level, I would have taken it. It's a rare opportunity to work with three faculty members who only have interest in you. Students will never have that support again." Most students do not receive such tutelage until graduate school. "There is no price you can put on mentoring from a faculty adviser," said Gabbin.
Students not only had the chance to build relation- ships with professors, but completing the thesis demonstrated a student had a strong sense of self-discipline and ambition.
"If we don't give our students confidence as they leave this university, they have paid too much," said Gabbin. She understood the confidence boost a 60-page thesis on a resume could give a job-hunting student.
Some students found the projea to be too overwhelming and failed to complete it. Most who [continued on p. 99) »

"It has helped me with just knowing that I can have a big goal and follow through with it," said Sechrist. Working closely with her professors was also a positive experience for her. "It was really neat to get to know a professor more. They would get just as excited as you in the research," reflected Sechrist. Sitting on a shelf in Hillcrest was a blue, bound book entitled, "The Resurgence in American Home Birthing" by Katie Sechrist. Sechrist considered going into counseling because she enjoyed conducting personal inter- views when she researched her topic.
Anderson Consulting employee Christopher L. Hubbard ('93), revealed in his Honors Alumni Update, that, "The program reminded me of the value of iniriadve, hard work ... going beyond the call of duty, this is an extremely important lesson within my firm and in life in general."
Alumnae Annabelle Payne viewed the thesis favorably and found that it had assisted her in her graduate work. "1 liked it," said Payne. "It's a wonderful thing to do, it gave me a whole lot of insight and I learned a lot about research. " Payne's thesis, entitled "Until Death Do Us Part," was based on a personal experience: the death of her husband.
Senior Todd Brown used his honors project to secure a job prior to graduation. He spent his summer and final year at school developing software tools for a process data management system at the pharmaceutical corporation, Merck, Inc., as his thesis. "The job really involves tying what I learn in an ISAT major with the real world, how computers work with management." Brown's project not only benefitted him but a successful corporation also.
Completing the thesis was clearly a worthwhile vennare. Hard work and strict self-discipline were the driving forces behind successfully finishing the project. Gabbin claimed JMU had "the most extensive senior honors program this side of the Mississippi." The presence of the paper on a transcript only brought positive results.
The honors thesis, despite the energy and hours it con- sumed, was cenainly an attainable goal for those students not afraid of sacrificing time for hard work. Even if the student became lead vocalist in a heavy metal band, he woiJd be proud, having written that analysis of the history of rock and roll. Smdents who graduated with distinction successfully completed the senior honors thesis, and truly were in a class by themselves. ■

Senior Mandy Lamb stood by the window playing die keyboard as she pracuced singing a popular show nine. The draft that came through the window scattered the sheets of music on the floor. As she bent down to collect them, she backed into the authentic suit of medieval armor that had been watching from the corner.
When visitors first entered 55 E. Granon St. they were struck by the unusual interior of the house. Artfully decorated with funky lamps, furniture and wall hangings, the Music Box was far from the average student abode. The residents were the first students to lease the house. The name derived fi'om their self-described "heavy involvement with the music theater program."
The four housemates were junior Noel Molinelli and seniors Lamb, Ashlynn Brooks and Lori McKinney. While McKinney was in London during the fall semester, Laura Hall, who Molinelli described as "a super senior writh a 'real' (nonmusic) major," subleased her room.
Featuring curtained vidndows and cabinets stuffed with musical knickknacks, the dining room contained an antique wooden dining set. The keyboard stood opposite to perhaps the strangest thing in the house: the authentic suit of armor freestanding in the corner. One of the roommates found their knight in shining armor on the side of the road during a road trip.
The walls of the house were covered with playbills and musical posters and the couches were draped with decorative blankets and pillows. The kitchen sported sky blue cabinets and shelves. The highlight of the house was what the group described as a "kitchen nook." The windowed area contained a green table and benches. The kitchen was already decorated when they moved in but the women took the liberty of painting each of their bedrooms themselves. Molinelli credited Brooks with much of the interior decorating that wasn't usually seen in most student houses. Because of the pristine interior, the women allowed their friends to have the keg parties; the Music Box favored wine and cheese patties.
"It's like a real house: plenty of space, a great location and it's really open and uncluttered," said Molinelli, the only one staying in the house for another year. Members of the Madisonians were schedided to move in the follow-ing year with plans to make it a music theater house permanentiy. ■

Started in 1992 by owner Ron Copelan, the Little GriU Soup Kitchen began somewhat as an accident. The restaurant was so busy one weekend that they actually ran out of food. Due to exhaustion and lack of food, Copelan decided to close the restaurant down that Monday to give employees a break. Copelan was in the restaurant on Monday, and a few people came around asking for food. This sparked the idea for the soup kitchen.
Seven years later, Copelan was no longer involved with the operation of the soup kitchen; instead he used the day as his only day off to spend with his family. As for the soup kitchen, it was run solely by volunteers. Vaunda Brown and Mike Deaton acted as coordinators and took care of all the preparation and organization. Brown had worked with the kitchen since its inception and believed in its cause wholeheartedly. "I know that 1 will be here every week, and I know Mike will be here. But other than that, we rely on people's good will to show up and volunteer. Every week is like an ...

Leading the Dukes to
their first-ever Atlantic-10
championship, new head
coach Mickey Matthews
brings pride and success
backtoJMU football
With one week before spring practices scheduled to begin, the football program was hit with a big blow when three-year head football coach Alex Woods resigned to become the quarterbacks coach for the NFL's Minnesota Vikings. As a result, the athletic department needed to find a head coach and fast. On March 22, only seven days after Wood's resignation, Texas native Mickey Matthews was introduced as the program's fifth head football coach. The 45- year-old Matthews, who was interested in the position when Woods was hired, got the position because of his "enthusiasm, motivation and knowledge of the game, " according to the interim athletic director and men's head soccer coach, Dr. Tom Martin.
Matthews said he had always wanted the job. "It has been a goal of mine for a long time to be the head coach here. " He had recruited and competed against JMU while at Marshall University and knew a lot about the program. Matthews joined the Dukes with great coaching experience from suc- cessful programs at the University of Georgia and Marshall.
During his three years at Georgia, the Bulldogs won rwo bowl games, and he coached the nation's top defensive player, Washington Redskin's rookie Champ Bailey. "Champ was fiin and easy to coach. He is an even better kid than he is an athlete. You are lucky if you get to coach someone like that once in your career."
Once named head coach, Matthew's first order of business was to hire a coaching staff. "I wanted a good mix of guys. I wanted coaches that I coached or recruited with and
people who knew the Virginia area. In order to win, we have to recruit from Virginia. "
Matthews said his main goal here was to win a national championship, but first he wanted to graduate every player and make sure each athlete had an enjoyable experience. He had his work cut out for him. JMU had a 3-8 record in 1 998 and a 23-22 overall record under Woods. Coach Matthews felt his players were capable of winning. "These guys can do it, but we need to change their attitudes and rebuild their confidence to win." Before the season began, Matthews said that the team's greatest strength was speed on defense, which he felt justified hiring a fiill-time strength and conditioning coach, which the team had never been able to do before. The team's greatest weakness was their inability to run the ball. The previous two years, the Dukes had been last in their division in offense.
Matthews described himself as a very competitive person. "This team has not been around a person who wants to win as much as I do. Sometimes I may be a little too competitive."
As for the coach's prediction before the season, "I have no idea. I do not think I can predia anything because I do not have a good feel for the league yet. I think our toughest competition will be against Virginia Tech, Hofstra and Richmond. As for right now, I just want to win. " The team responded well to coach Matthew's philosophy.
With a new head coach and new coaching staff, there were bound to be transition (continued on p. 110) »

{continued from p. 109) > problems. Yet as evidenced by the Dukes' success and players' attitudes, the transition between coaches was easy. "The new coaching staff is real personable and approachable. They treat everyone with respect no matter if you play in every game or sit the bench. Coach came in here and told us what to expect, and that is what we got. He is a nice guy, but he is also a strong disciplinarian and stressed academics, lifting and a hard work ethic," said senior quarterback John DeFilippo.
According to Manin, "I saw an overnight difference in the football players. They were smiling, working harder and responding positively to all the changes."
New athletic director Jeff Bourne, hired in April of 1999, agreed with Martin. "Mickey has had the ability to instill a sense of commitment and pride in our young men. He has made them believe they can be successful in many disciplines: academically, on the field and as individuals." Bourne also said that Matthews' greatest strength was that "He cares about his players more than himself and does what is best for JMU."
Matthews also felt that his players responded well to the coaching change. "My philosophy is a lot different from coach Woods' philosophy, and I think the guys wanted a change. They have been very recepuve. I have changed nearly everything except the helmet." Matthews was excited about the team's improvement. "They get better everyday and the improvement is dramatic."
Martin felt the university was fortunate to get Matthews. "He made a big sacrifice to come here, and we are lucky to have him. He is a player's coach, a people person, aggressive, and has a strong football background. The trump card for me was that Mickey came from a highly respected football program that had done very well. He has a tradition of successful backgrounds in Division I-AA programs."
The Dukes opened the season against Virginia Tech, and despite the 47-0 loss, many agreed it was a worthwhile experience. "You always want the chance to play against the big boys," said DeFilippo. The Dukes then went on to win seven straight games against Northeastern, New Hampshire, Delaware, Villanova, William & Mary, Connecticut and South Florida. It was the Dukes' second longest winning streak in the team's 27-year history. The Dukes lost three out of the last foiu- games of the season, including a Division I-AA playoff loss to Troy State.
"The loss to Maine was disappointing because we should have beaten them, but the Hofstra and Troy State teams were bi^er and more physical than us. I thought we played well, as well as we could have against both teams," said Matthews.
According to Matthews, the Richmond game was the best game of the season for him. "Against Richmond, we lost so much, two quarterbacks, but the guys pulled together and worked very hard to win."
Matthews said the toughest part of his job was building confidence in his players. "The guys have been through so much and never had the confidence to win. I knew this team was capable of winning, it was just a matter of making the players believe that. The biggest reward for me and my staff was seeing the players' faces after every win."
Coach Matthews led the Dukes through a successful 8-4 season, clinching their first-ever Adantic- 10 championship and receiving their first NCAA bid since 1995. The Dukes ranked second in the conference for scoring defense, turnover margin, rush defense and sacks, and third in the conference in kickofif returns, punt returns and pass defense. They also ranked fourth among opponents in total defense. Matthews attributed one of the team's highlights this season to being, "plus 10 in turnover margin." He also attributed the success of the defense this season to junior defensive end Chris Morant and three newcomers, senior Mike Luckie, sopho- more Derick Pack and junior Ron Atkins. Combined, the four defensemen led the team in tackles with 398, 30 sacks, five fumble recoveries and three interceptions. Coach Matthews recruited Luckie from Georgia and Pack from West Virginia.
Mickey Matthews brought success to the football pro- gram. After finishing 3-8 in 1998, Matthews turned the team into conference champions and NCAA playoff contenders. And his accomplishments did not go unnoticed. Matthews was awarded both the Adantic- 1 0 Coach of the Year and the Eddie Robinson Award for I-AA Coach of the Year. "Coach Matthews did an outstanding job in leading the Dukes this season. He has clearly instilled a winning spirit among our players and has brought an excitement back to the football program," said President Linwood Rose. "Coach Matthew's enthusiasm for the game and his positive attitude appear to have inspired our players to great accomplishments. I see a very successful football program in our fitture and it will have a very positive effect on the esprit de corps of students, alumni, faculty and staff." ■

Inside a white house on Patterson Street, a bottle slowly rolled across the slanted floor, crashing into a cracked wall. The canted window shed sunlight on the poorly constructed infrastructure. On the front lawn, an imitation, standard brown campus sign branded the strange place Sketchy House. To the miJtitudes of feculty and students who noticed the house with overgrown shrubbery, many were fooled. Some even wandered up to the front porch but did not find a single desk or professor.
Although marked as a campus building, this one was diff- erent from the rest. Sketchy House was a house well known for its originality. Its residents, seniors Cliff Parker, Adam Prem, Jamie Hargrave, junior Patrick Lowry and sophomore Bret Stone, felt that the house reflected their personalities.
The current residents came up with the name Sketchy House two years ago in anempt to accurately describe their house's unique appearance and the strange events that occurred. To blend in on a block filled with academic buildings, the room- mates decided that their house needed a name. The inspiration for the name originated from an event that they felt could only happen at their house. While the roommates were hanging out on their lawn, a robust man with a 40 oz. in hand stumbled down the walk, accompanied by his dog. Psycho. The ensuing conversation sketched-out the roommates. They felt that inci- dent was an excellent depiction of their house's character.
"There are lirde parts of each of us here, " said Hargrave. Inside, the walls were decorated with memorabilia of their lives: a mural painted by a friend; a collage of pictiu-es; a champagne botde from their swimming championship; and their pride and joy, their Kegerator. The roommates inherited the house from fel- low swimmers and intended to pass down their unique legacy to firiends and "anyone else who wants to be sketchy," said Prem.
"This house is constant comedy," said Hargrave. Social events highlighted life in the Sketchy House. A spring formal named Mystical Magicality was their favorite party of the year. A Pimch Party and a Pajama Party became annual traditions.
Another unique characteristic about the house was its nonhuman residents. Derrick the Iguana, Grant the Spider and Sporty the Hedgehog also took up residence.
Sketchy House was far from an administrative building, but 1 53 Patterson St. certairJy became a campus landmark. Regard- less of the house's sketchy characteristics and its unique decor, the best part about living in the Sketchy House was "living with your best friends,' smiled Hargrave. ■

While other students were snug in their beds early on a Saturday morning, the Peanut Butter and Jelly Patrol headed up Interstate 81 to spend the day in the nation's capital.
Several times a semester, juniors Jason Young, Joe Arner and Andrew Zorn, and freshman Luke Amann hit the streets of Washington, D.C, to hand out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the homeless population, to lend a thoughtful ear and to spread their belief in God.
"We usually go around the Pennsylvania Avenue area," said Jason Young, nicknamed "Jelly Jay," the one behind the _^eginning of the group on campus. "We find many homeless people right in back of the White House, which is really ironic, considering that it is the center of this supposed 'land of opportunity' and here are people living on the streets."
Young got the idea for the PB&J Patrol last summer after a bus trip to Minnesota where he and a friend handed out sandwiches at each bus stop. "It worked out well, " he said. "We got on a radio show and received donations from a church in the area."
WTien Young returned to campus in August, he and Arner, nicknamed "Just Spread 'Em Joe" (he handled the task of spreading the peanut butter), decided to take action closer to this area. "All four of us are Chrisdans," said Arner. "This is one way that Christ has changed our hearts. So, it's not really us that has prompted us to do this. It's God."
This caring gesture sometimes even surprised the reci- pients. "Some people ask us to place the sandwich on the for end of the bench and not to say another word," said Amann, called "Loafy Luke." "Some laugh at our goofy nicknames, and some open their hearts to us for an hour."
Though many were impressed by their giving nature, personal gain was not their intention. "We call ourselves the Peanut Butter and Jelly Patrol and we give out sandwiches and what not, but giving them out isn't really our goal," said Arner the day after a trip to Washington. "We try to give out kindness and caring in the form of a listening ear.
"I used to try to help others to fulfill a personal need, to feel like I did something good. Now, though, I believe that giving has to be focused on the receiver. I don't do this because it makes me feel good. In fact, I try to forget about myself when I do it."
Young agreed. "[A sandwich] is not going to fill a person's hun- ger, but using that sandwich as a tool to open up a conversation ... [may] fill their greater hunger of loneliness and low self-esteem. A lot of these people need someone to listen to them, not to just throw change at them and walk away."
The trips to Washington allowed the four to form close bonds with some of the homeless people they have helped. "I have met so many good people who all have their own stories to tell and a few mistakes or misfortunate occurrences put them on the streets," said Arner. "Norman's been on the street since 1967. Bob has a hard time getting treated for his illness caused by service in Vietnam. Mary Theresa got involved with the wrong guy. People are the same. We all make mistakes, we all have our stories and we all can help each other out."
These relationships also taught the four some of life's greatest lessons. "A lot of people just assume that these needy people are so much different than themselves, that they are almost a different breed," said Young. "But the deeper you talk with people, the more these outside barriers of the way they dress, the way they look, the situation they are in, even the way they talk, fade away. We start to feel a deeper and deeper connection with these people.
"When we sit down next to them on the park bench, or on the sidewalk, you can see a sparkle in their eye. Some

don't want us to leave. Whenever we're about to get up, they'll start on another topic, just to get us to stick around. We hardly have to say anything at all. A lot of times, all they need is somebody who genuinely listens to them."
The four were perhaps even more affected by these visits than the homeless they helped. "It is just so incredibly awesome to walk away after one of those moments and think about how this person has just impacted your life, because they all do," said Young. "I'm learning so much from these people. What I've really been learning lately is that you can't assume anything about anyone. You have to go and talk to those people. A lot of times, the craziest, scariest looking guy that everyone avoids, is actually the friendliest, most wholesome one out there."
Perhaps most importandy, the four learned to appreciate what they had and others did not. "God has been so kind to me, so I want to be kind to others," said Zorn, "Skippy Andy." "Jesus said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive,' and I have experienced that to be true." ■

Take a spin through a day at JMU's campus aMemative radio station
You heard them. Whether you were an avid listener, you stopped at 88.7 once or twice as you scanned the airwaves on your car's radio or you simply heard the strange muffled sounds coming from inside their door as you tried to study in the Anthony-Seeger Hall lobby ... you heard them. With a potential of 90,000 listeners throughout the Shenandoah Valley, 88.7FM WXJM was one of the most far-reaching media oudets on campus, providing students and area residents with a listening alternative.
Tuesday Sept 21,1999
According to their constitution,WXJM provided "news to its listeners as a means of contributing to intellectual growth and stimulation, discussion and communication." According to their brochure, WXJM was "390 immense watts of student- run power!" And according to the stuff on their walls, WXJM was ... well, that you had to decide for yourself A sign on the bulletin board in the hall outside their office door read, "You post here, you die a slow death by plastic fork." Once inside, visitors were greeted by walls covered from floor to ceiling with posters, flyers and an assortment of art created with CDs, styrofoam, picture frames and plastic dolls. Can't figure out where you're going? Check out the INDIreaory. The ingenious device allowed guests to press a button abeled with their desired destination and revealed the location on a lighted map. Located toward the back of their office complex was the main broadcast smdio where student disc jockeys produced their own shows in addition to ive performances and talk shows. Between their 70-plus DJs, WXJM managed to entertain the Har- risonburg area 24 hours a day, seven days a week with a variety of music ranging from progressive to jazz, from techno to reggae, from urban to loud rock, {continued on next page) »

When asked how he got this stretch, sophomore DJ Lewis "Hilly Hills" Bechder said, "It's not the rime slot of my choice; I sorta got screwed." Using turntables, Bechtler played newer hip-hop artists like Tribe Called Quest and mixed in old school rap like Run-DMC. But it's not just Rin at WXJM; DJs also had duties. At quaner after each hour, they were responsible for playing Public Service Announcements (PSAs). "Some- times when I spin, I look over at the clock and realize that I missed the PSA by half an hour," Bechder confessed.

Jody Worthington, "Live from the Pit"
(More like 2:20) Walking in apologetically, junior Jody Worthington explained she slept through her alarm. As she popped in a punk CD, Worthington rationalized, "I figure no one's really listening, so I play what I want. As long as it's not mainstream, that's strictly prohibited." Her music choices ranged from her favorite bands, Pennywise, Minor Threat and Bouncing Souls, to a Bert and Ernie album from when she was five. Did the quest for fame influence her decision to be a WXJM DJ.' Worthington said different people had come up to her on campus inquiring, "Are you Jody? I've heard your show." ■ Her show imitates her mood. As the night wore on, Worthington 's pace and music slowed. Sometimes her interest peaked by phone requests. One particular caller disguised his voice when making requests, his favorite character being a redneck named Billy Bob. During most of the show, Worthington kept herself busy flipping through magazines. She said it was too hard to juggle homework and changing CDs. Although it was her second year with a show, Worthington explained her poor time slot by her lack of attendance at meetings and WXJM events. But she's dedicated in her own way. "'WXJM is the only station I listen to. I hate commercial radio."

DJ Nick Barbery, a junior, normally came in with a prepared list for his independent rock show, but here, after a hectic weekend, "I grabbed whatever." Barbery became a D] because, "There are no expectations. You can play what you like." Taking advantage of WXJM's wide variety of music, his show was always different. "I get to hear a ton of good music without having to buy it," Barbery said.

Senior Lee Lewis and alumnus Jacob Penrod try to make their jazz show as random as possible. Often, Penrod mixed it up on the turntables while Lewis played two CDs at one time. Although they were in the jazz time slot, their show tended to be controversial and comical. The duo filled in for other DJs when possible. "The more controversial, the more calls, which is fun sometimes, but sometimes a pain," said Lewis.

"In Harrisonburg you just don't get exposed to this kind ot music," commented junior Kristi Mathews on her ftink/jazz show. Although she got several requests, she could rarely tulfill them because ol the limited jazz library. Therefore, her music usually matched her mood. Being a dreary day, she played "rainy jazz music." When asked why she worked for WXJM she said, "It's just neat being on the radio."

"I feel like other DJs are repressed or something. They are basically just a puppet," said senior Cas Richardson, referring to the limitations that commercial DJs face.

why did you choose tennis? I have been plaWng tennis since I wa^ five years old ... I think I would be lost without it. What would you consider as your role on the team? I would say I'm the team psycho but also like an assistant coach. I have a bit of a temper that comes out when I play, but at the same time I help my teammates do the little things that keep everyone in line and on track so that we all are successful. What have you learned through your experience on the team? 1 have learned that if you work hard, it does pay off and you will succeed. I have also learned that everything isn't going to be perfect all the time, so you have to deal with the imperfections and do the best you can.

Did you suffer any kind of injuries that challenged your future in tennis? The
worst injury I suffered was a herniated disk, which sidelined me all fall. I am known on my team as the permanent injury. I have tendonitis in both knees, continuous back spasms; I've torn both rotator cuffe, pinched a nerve in my neck, had tennis elbow three times, four sprained ankles and more blisters than 1 can count. I think the training room has a whole hook on my injuries. Do you hope to pursue any aspect of tennis alter college? 1 am going to try to play some pro tournaments this May in Germany, but after that 1 am starting my search for a 'real' job. 1 don't think I could cut it on the tour, but it will be fim to live like a pro for a while. ■
Did you start playing tennis here as a freshman? 1 did start as a freshman. 1 had the heart but not the skills. 1 sat out for a little while that first year. Did you ever find it hard to balance tennis and school? It was hardest as a freshman. It's still not easy now, but I've learned how to make the most of my time. What has been the hardest thing to go through either in tennis or academics? When times suck, they suck all together. When 1 wasn't doing well in school, it carried onto the coun. It took some time to be able to get both under control. Did you suffer any kind of injuries that challenged your fiiture in tennis? Right now I've got a back injury which sucks because it's at a time when I feel most confident with my game. I've been doing rehab for it and will be ready in the spring.
Do you see yourself as a leader on the team? Being one of the seniors, I think what I do has bearing on the others. This makes me watch what I'm doing during praaice because I don't want to slack and have the freshmen think that they can slack too. 1 believe I was chosen as a cap- tain because I am always cheering during competition and helping out my other teammates when I get a chance. What were yoiu- goals/hopes when you first started playing tennis here? I had high hopes, but not enough game. Over the years I've developed a game, but I've been hurt during the tall and have only the spring to see what's up. What have you learned through your experience on the team? Ive learned a lot as tar as discipline goes, and to get what you want you can never give up. ■

Why did you choose soccer and JMU?
I have always participated in many sports throughout my life, but soccer has always remained at the top of the list. In terms of choosing JMU, I actually transferred here my sophomore year. A few things were involved in the transfer: first I love the location, being near the mountains; and second, the success of the women's stxrcer team here was also a huge consideration. Do you see yourself as a leader on your team? I hope that I have somehow helped my teanunates in one way or another and majhe if vocally I have not been the strong- est, then through example of my actions I have provided some leadership. Do you hope to continue your soccer career after college? Yes, I'm looking into
women's professional leagues overseas. What have you learned through your experience on the team? ... that playing soccer is just half of it. Playing on a team has a lot to do with building strong friendships with teammates and working for each other through the many experi- ences college has to offer. Have you foimd it hard to balance both soccer and school? This is my senior year and 1 still haven't found a balance be- tween school and soccer. But I seem to do better in school during soccer season. What has been your most memorable moment? The most memorable moment is that awesome feeling that goes through my entire body when the final whistle blows and we have just defeated a team. ■

Why golf at JMU? I started playing golf when my family moved to South Carolina and we lived on a golf course. I iust picked it up and played all through high school. 1 chose JMU because it had a good reputation and a degree from here looks good. Even though I was recruited by other schools, I wanted to go to the better school so I decided to take my chances and walk-on here. What have you learned? I have learned how to manage rime, my capabiiiries and about myself. I Do you see yourself as a leader? I see myself as a leader but not so much as a vocal leader. 1 think the things 1 do and the way I act has an influence on the younger guys and that is what makes me a leader.
Do you want to pursue golf after college? No, not really, I just wanted to go to a
good school, play a litde golf and see how well I could do. I have never thought of myself as a potential pro golfer. I want to graduate and go to physical therapy or medical school.
What were your goals coming to JMU? 1 didn't really have any long-term goals. There were more short-term goals like making the team as a walk-on, playing in all the tournaments and improving. Has it been hard balancing school and golf? Yes, very much so. We spend a lot of rime practicing and traveling especially since we are a double-season sport. I think we travel and practice more than most of the other sports.
Coach's comments: Scott has been a real contributor tor our team. He is a solid golfer because he has a good all-around game and strikes the ball solidly. He also shoots low scores which helps the team. ■

what made you want to wrestle? I ve been wrestling since the second grade. I transferred here in January 1 997 because the school is awesome but also because my brother went here and wresded here. He was a big influence on me coming here. What were you goals coming to JMU? Honestly, I didn't really know what to expect coming from a bigger wrestling program to a smaller one. All 1 really wanted to do was bring my style of wrest- ling here. 1 don't think many people have had the same experiences as I have in wrestling and 1 hoped I could bring that experience to JMU. At Rider 1 played on a Top- 1 0 wrestling team in the nadon so 1 know the mentality and work that it takes to be on a higher level. Have you ever found it hard to balance both school and academics? Definitely. I think any student adJete would tell you the same thing, but sometimes it's even harder because we practice at 6:30 a.m., which makes for a very long day. People always tell us to put school first but that isn't always easy when you travel so much.
What have you learned through your experience on the team? Leadership skills; when 1 transferred here 1 was made captain right away. 1 think 1 had a lot of experience and knowledge and that is why the coach made me a captain. 1 also learned time- management skills and a hard work ethic. What was your most memorable mo- ment? Leading the team to its first ever state championship and state conference ride. It was my first year wrestling here, we were a small, unknown team and unex- peaed to vrin, so it was nice when we did. What has been the hardest thing to go through in your career? Transfering was probably the hardest thing, but more aca- demically than athletically. I lost 18 credits when 1 transferred so I'm repeating classes I've already taken, which is frustrating. Athletically, the transition wasn't as hard because my brother was here at the time so I knew a lot of the guys on the team. Do you hope to pursue wrestling after college? I'd love to coach. I want to get a teaching degree and coach and teach at the high school level. ■

What have you learned through your experience on the team? I ve learned communication and attitude are the key to successful relationships. What has been the hardest thing to go through? Balancing school and fencing is the challenge. Sometimes it's really hard to keep focused on practice and competition, but in the end it's worth the effort that I put into the sport. Do you see yourself as a leader? As cap- tain, 1 have to set a good example for those around me, including my team- mates. 1 think I am a respectable person and that makes me a respectable leader. Do you hope to continue with fencing after college? I may participate in the USFA (United States Fencing Associa- tion) after college, but after eight years in this sport 1 am probably going to take some time off.
What were your goals coming to JMU and the fencing team? As tar as joining the team, my goals and expectations were to have fun and improve in fencing. 1 think I have achieved both. Did you get a lot of playing time? Freshman year through senior year, 1 got plenty of fencing time on the strip. My coach is really good about making time for everyone to get into competitions and to travel with the team. Coach's comments: Laura has been a great athlete for a coach to have for four years.

have been a gymnast since I was five, 1 knew that I wanted to be on the team but didn't know if I was good enough. I walked-on and loved the team and coach from the very beginning. What have you learned through your experience on the team? Cooperation, compromise and a positive attitude are all parts of teamwork and group unity. Did you ever find it hard to balance school and spon? I really don't find it hard to balance school and sport. Since I have always done gymnastics, I am used to prioritizing my schedule. When I go to practice and have a set schedule, I find it easier to get studying done. WoiJd you like to pursue your sport

I definitely would love to work as a physical therapist in a sports-related environment. ■What was the hardest thing that you had to deal wdth?

What made you choose soccer? I have been playing soccer since I was four and just kept with it. I was successful as a yoimg player and telt 1 could play Division I. What made you decide to come to JMU? I actually transferred to JMU from UVA my sophomore year because I loved every- thing about JMU. The atmosphere here is very friendly and outgoing and 1 fit in much better than when I was at UVA. What have you learned through your experience on the team? 1 have learned that the best team doesn't always win and that if you lead people will follow; for example, with intensity or your work ethic. What is your most memorable moment playing soccer for JMU? My most mem- orable moment came my senior year when we beat UVA for the first time ever. It was especially great because I used to go there and we were the underdog. Did you have to deal with any adversity? One ot the hardest things I had to deal
with was the fiiCT that I didn't start or play much my sophomore year. My freshman year 1 started and played in every game so it was hard for me to sit on the bench when 1 knew I could be out there playing. My confidence went down and so did my enthusiasm. Thanks to friends and family I was able to build up my confidence and earn a starting position my junior year. Have you foimd it hard to balance soccer and school? Traveling a lot and practicing every day took up a lot of my time. How- ever, it taught me that 1 had to manage my time properly in order to be successfiil in the classroom as well as on the field. Do you see yourself as a team leader ? 1 feel that I became more of a leader my senior year. As a senior, it is your duty to lead those around you. Younger team- mates really look up to you. I felt that 1 communicated well with my teammates and that 1 picked them up and encour- aged them when needed. ■

What made you decide to choose gym- nastics and JMU? I've been a gymnast since 1 was seven and competing since I was nine, so it has always been a big part of my life. It just seemed namral to con- tinue in college. I chose JMU because the gymnastics and academics seemed like a good fit for me, and it wasn't too far, or too close to home.
What have you learned through exper- iences on the team? ... teamwork. In college gymanstics, the top six on each event compete for the team. This means sometimes you have to sacrifice what you want for what is best for the team. It also means that your attitude affects the team and the team's performance. If you're not having the best day, it's impor- tant to be there tor your teammates and encourage them, so they're not pulled down or you.

My fresh- man year at nationals at Texas A&M, my team came close to knocking off the top- ranked Aggies squad, and it came down to the last few arrows. Definitely one of the most intense shoots I have ever been to, even though we lost. Do you hope to pursue any aspect of archery after college? 1 will always shoot archery. It's one of those things I will never be able to put it away for very long. But, I've found that in atchery. like so many other things, the race is most often with yourself, not the competition. What would you consider yoiu role on the team? I'm team captain — above all other things.

Sophomore Jake Adams spent most of his ' and Sunday nights in Taylor Hall hopefullvlji arrival of a curious soul. He wasn't there ti^mg to convince anyone of some new belief or to donate money to his cause. He just wanted to talk. As president of the Baha'i Associa- tion, Adams was always looking to share the happiness his faith provided him. "This is what I had been looking for my entire life," he said, "I knew I could live by these beliefs."
On a large and diverse cam- pus, Adams wasn't the only person eager to share his faith. With over 1 8 different religious organizations, students had many opportunities to become spiritually involved.
One of the largest groups on campus was Catholic Campus Ministry, with approximately 4,000 participants. In addition to attend- ing weekly Mass, many students dedicated their time to other acti- vities such as volimteering at local soup kitchens, Bible smdies and alternative spring break trips to Philadelphia and Oaxaca, Mexico. "I think a big part of our strength is just the sheer number of people involved and the wide breadth of diff- erent activities we do," said CCM student campus minister Mike Rodihan, a senior.
But a large following wasn't the only thing that made a religious group strong, as seen by the Lutheran Student Movement. With 20 members, this group was comparable to any of its larger counterparts with a choir group and weekly worship dinners where all the members came together to talk about their faith. "The intimacy of our small group helps us learn about one another better and strengthen our spiritual path," said president Paige Pitsenberger, a senior. Not all groups were structured into specific denomi- nations. Groups like InterVarsity Christian Fellowship,

Campus Crusade for Christ, and Brothers and Sisters in Christ (B.A.S.I.C.) took students from all different Christian denominations and brought them together in a social setdng. "Our goal is to reach out to the campus," said InterVarsity president Amanda Schmitt, a senior. And that's exactly what the group tried to do with their guest speakers, dinners and talent acts. "There are social aspects," she added, "but the activities are also well-grounded."
Donna and Tom Parish of B.A.S.I.C. didn't have the dme to meet on a regular basis with their members, but they tried to have lunch every once in a while to check up on how their students were doing. It gave them a chance to share their faith without the coordinating of busy sched- ules for weekly meetings.
While most of the university's groups had a Christian focus, several other religions were also present on campus. In addition to the Baha'i Association and the Muslim Student Association, the Hillel Counselorship was a very popular group amongst the Jewish community. By organi- zing religious holiday events such as a Rosh Hashanah Dinner and campus-wide events like Holocaust Remem- brance Day, the group supported their spiritual faith even when they seemed so outnumbered. "I would like QMU] to be a bit more diverse," added Hillel president Tammy Bercowitz; however, she didn't let the small size of her group diminish her strong beliefs.
Even with a multitude of religious organizations, there were still some nonbelievers. A significant amount of students couldn't say whether or not they believed in a higher power. "I'm not definitely saying there isn't a God," said senior Michael Johnson. "I just haven't been convinced yet."
Well if it was convincing he needed, Johnson or any of his other fellow nonbelievers couldn't complain that there weren't enough places for them to talk about their spiritual confusion. All they had to do was drop by Taylor on any Wednesday or Sunday night; Jake Adams was happy to get into a discussion on faith. ■

From original art cinemas to the premiere of "Dogma," Grafton-Stovall Theatre offers something for everyone
Modernized movie theaters are missing the picture. Audiences are stadium-sat and overcharged for glorified food passed off as dinner, while shown rehashed plots andi cliched characters, only with sharper pictures and a Dolby certified sonic boom.
However, there existed an alternative on campus to all this remodeling, and one needn't worry about parking. Tht bike rack was always empty. Grafton-Stovall Theatre was our friendly cinematic savior.
Built in 1978, Grafton-Stovall originated as a lecture auditorium. By year's end, they began showing movies orl Sundays. Dr. James Ruff, professor of English, had been showing films in Wilson Hall and Harrison Hall, but was excited for the new venue. "As soon as Grafton-Stovall was built, we moved the film study course there."
And time moved on, technology changed. With all the improvements in film and sound, Grafton-Stovall's equip ment became obsolete.
Dr. Charles Turner, professor of the School of Media Arts and Design, recalled the technological drought. "Th screen was offset, not hung direcdy facing the projector. This meant that the film could only be in focus on isolated parts of the screen."
In 1995 Grafton-Stovall underwent a massive interio facelift. In 1998, audiences began to experience Dolby Pro-Logic sound, powered through 1 5 separate speakers.
Grafton-Stovall offered a wide variety of movies, ranging from art cinemas to blockbusters, and the free Sunday movies offered a quiet conclusion to the week. "What better way to celebrate than to see a movie ... free," said "Grafton-activist" Tom Hummel, a senior.
"I'm a Woody Allen freak!" screamed senior Tamar Anitai. "When they played four or five Woody Allen film: one week, I made sure I saw each and every one."
Grafton-Stovall also occasionally featured movies followed by an appearance from the director. In recent year,! Spike Lee, John Waters and Kevin Smith spoke to jam packed auditoriums.
In October, Grafton-Stovall premiered Smith's latei films, "Dogma, " a week before its national release date. Stu dents responded in full force, swamping the theater with jj,. almost double the seadng capacity of 610. Senior Matt Stalq director of cinematic events for the University Program Board, had volunteers guard the exterior doors and even requested campus cadets tor crowd control. At 9 p.m., theate volunteers began handing out tickets. By 9:30 the show wa sold out. Staley wasn't surprised. "WTien I walked by th( theater at 5 p.m., there were already two guys waiting in line.
Yet Grafton-Stovall doesn't limit itself to professiona i^^^ film. On April 10, 1996, the first-annual Student Film Fest was held in the cramped space of Taylor Down Undo (j. The next year the festival expanded and moved to Grafto: j. Stovall. The 1999 festival featured the largest number o: ^

iW ibmissions to date, with so many animation entries that rganizers had to separate entries into two judged categories: limation and hve action.
The irony is that, despite Grafton-Stovall's popularity, fM le theater consistently lost money each week.
"The average price to show a film runs $600-$ 1200," ias id senior Matt Parowsid. "Luckily we're subsidized through Mi le UPB, which is good, because otherwise we wouldn't here at all." The current trend in movie watching became one of big SI J adium-seat armchairs, two pounds of gourmet popcorn, fici ottled mineral water and perhaps a dollop of chocolate : nJfl lousse to celebrate the happy ending. This spawned an (,r0 pswing of hybrid theaters that have become multi-leveled, -tctoi irawling malls of their own, such as the new Regal Cinemas
complex located on University Boulevard, which offered 14 different theaters and an extensive snack bar.
Judging a money driven commercial theater against the likes of student-driven, student- run Grafiron-Stovall is perhaps unfair. However, if there is a question of how good a theater is — its general integrity — one cannot ignore the splendor of Grafton-Stovall Theatre. "On campus, where else can one raise a ruckus on a regtJar basis? Grafton-Stovall has an atmosphere unlike any other place in Harrisonburg, movie theater or not," said Parowski.
Selection, superb sound, beautiful projection, cheap tickets and the casual spontaneity of a college campus made Grafton-Stovall Theatre a real coup amidst the multiplexing of America. And there was even fresh-popped popcorn for only 50 cents. Suddenly stadium seating didn't seem so hot. ■
From left: Senior Marty Anderson, director of hospitality for UPB, awaits the onslaught of movie-goers at the showing of "Star Wars: Episode One, The Phantom Menace." Fifteen minutes later, Anderson was greeted by hundreds of Star Wars fanatics, excited by the $2 ticket price. ■ Built in the 1 978, Grafton-Stovall Theatre's dated decor carried a mystique that newer theaters lacked. Unlike the modern stadium-seat multiplex , Grafton- Stovall was devoted to one screen, one theater and 610 seats. ■ In addition to the cheap tickets, popcorn is for sale for only 50 cents. Despite the theater's popularity and success, it consistently lost money. Fortunately for students, the movies shown were subsidized through UPB. ■ Located between the Phillips Center and Warren and Taylor Halls, Grafton-Stovall Theatre was originally intended to be a lecture hall, but it was used as the campus movie venue. ■ Photos by Todd Grogan

'Old South High Street was a road littered with dozens of unique homes — the Pi House, the Barn House and the Spaghetti House. Yet one that stood out, particiJarly at night, was the Crayola House.
One night in September, two neighbors were surprised as they glanced at the house. Senior Amanda Anderson had decor- ated each of the ten windows in her bedroom with different colors of febric. From outside, Anderson's bedroom lights filtered through the fabric reminding passers-by of a box of Crayola crayons. The name stuck, and Anderson soon hung a banner over the front door proclaiming it "The Crayola House."
Yet the colorful appearance was only one of the house's many unique aspects. Built before 1950, the residence had six bedrooms of all shapes and sizes and rwo full-service kitchens. Occasionally, the occupants even discovered a new closet or door they never knew was there.
The house was shared by seven seniors: Amanda Anderson, Tamar Anitai, Todd Grogan, Nicole Gianturco, Abi Miller, Laura Serico and Brandt Zeigler. During the spring semester, junior Anna Mitchell took the place of Anitai, who graduated in December. Perhaps their most interesting trait was that they were all vegetarians, with the exception of Gianturco. In fact, the majority of residents who lived nearby were also vegetarians. In mid-September, the Crayola House held a poduck dinner tor the neighborhood and the only meat dish served was tuna salad.
The roommates also had very colorful personalities. Anderson, a biology major, who lived in the renovated greenhouse nicknamed "The Rainbow Room," loved to immerse herself in color and nature. Along with the colorful pieces of fabric draped across her windows, her room was decorated with images of nature and vibrant colors. Even her clothes, bandannas, and socks reflected her passion for color. "She always wanted to live in a room of colors," said Grogan.
Zeigler lived in a room so small that there was only space for a mattress on the floor and very litde else. His room also had the only working television in the house. . . vwth a five-inch screen. Miller lived in a room over the back porch, accessible by a door in the upstairs kitchen so oddly positioned that you literally had to climb through. Because her room had no heat, she would often camp out in Gianturco's bedroom, nicknamed "The Italian Room," because it was decorated with imported Italian fiimiture.
"This house is very random," said Grogan referring to the roonmiates' different personalities. "You could come at midnight and no one would be here. " Yet like a box of crayons, though the individuals were different, they fit together perfectly.

"Would you like the drier 1997 vintage or the 1998?" asked Theresa Simmons as she quickly took orders from the eager crowd. Behind the table, purple-shirted workers bustled back and forth, retrieving bottles from huge vats of ice and speedily popping the corks. For nine hours straight on Saturday, October 2, the employees sponsored the Fourth Annual Landwirt Vineyard Wine Festival.
Nestled in the rolling farmland of Harrisonburg, the Landwirt Vineyard was one of nv^^Mucers of wine in the Shenandoah Valley. The festivals, whicn were held twice a year, were open to all ages. Bands such as The Franklin Newton Quanet, West Water Street, T.J. Johnson, Virginia Coalition and Ki:Theory provided the entertainment for the fall event while Calhoun's Restaurant and Brewery, * "'gjr^u Pizza and Brooklyn Delicatessen fed the hungry crowd.

The bands each played long sets of music and enjoyed the attention of a field full of people. The large and spirited audience was quick to sing along and dance to the music.
"I think it's great because everyone gets to come out and support the music they like. It's a good opportunity for local musicians to show their stuff," said sophomore Sam Wilson, a guitarist for the jazz group The Franklin Newton Quartet.
Senior Franklin Newton, who led the group, was equally thrilled with the festival. "There's no bad vibes, it's straight- up fun, they (Landwirt Vineyard) get my vote!"
Being a wine connoisseur was not necessary to appreciate what the vineyard had to offer.
"I don't know anything about wine, but I love it!" said senior Jenny Walker. The vineyard, owned by Gary and Theresa Simmons, offered eight diflFerent types of wine. The majority of students preferred Montevideo, a blush wine, that ran out halfway through the evening, and a dry white wine called Riesling. The prices ranged from $10 to $16 per botde and wineglasses were provided for an additional dollar.
"We've owned the vineyard since 1982 but the winery has only been open since 1996," explained Theresa Simmons as she popped open a bottle.
Even former students in the Virginia area returned to attend their second or third festivals. 1999 graduate William Jerome Miller felt that he just couldn't escape college life at the festival. "It has two of the three necessities for a good time: drugs (wine), and rock 'n' roll ... the sex, haven't seen any of that yet!" said Miller.
Kris Johnson, also a 1999 graduate, called the festival a bonding experience you never do in college. Partygoers agreed that the festival was a welcome change from the standard keg party.
The pink sun that fell into the green landscape of the valley awed many students. Evening brought with it cooler temperatures, but the fun continued. Students wrapped in blankets settled down to enjoy the music, wine and com- pany of a huge party under the stars. ■

Iter four years, eight broken records and numerous awards, Megan Riley is one of the top lacrosse players in the NCAA
Lets Stan off with a little analogy quiz, okay? Michael
Jordan : basketball :: : lacrosse. Not exactly
an easy question, right? Wrong. Unless you've had your head in the sand while attending JMU, the first name that should come to mind is Megan Riley. "Megan who?" All right, pay attention. There might be another quiz at the end.
Lacrosse, n. A game played by two teams using a small ball and long-handled sticks with netted pockets. Sounds simple enough, really. Wrong again. In a battle that relies on skill, speed, strength and communication, lacrosse is anything but a game. And Riley is anyone but your average lacrosse player. Dominating almost every category and setting eight school records, Riley has not only made a name for herself, she's made a name for JMU lacrosse — a name that is feared in the Colonial Athletic Association.
Enter Loyola. In the CAA Championship on April 18, 1999, Riley made history.
With just over six minutes remaining in the first half, Riley blasted her 140th career goal setting a new university record. Scoring five other goals in the game and acquiring three assists helped earn her the CAA (continued on p. 144) »

\continned from p. 143) ■■ Most Valuable Player. The team asily defeated Loyola 17-6, securing the CAA Championship. fwo years after winning her first CAA championship, Riley eflected, "The first one was probably the most memorable pecause it was the first, but the second one was nice, too."
But before Riley even decided to play lacrosse in college, [he had to make a difficult decision early on in her life. In he sixth grade, in addition to showing a promising future n lacrosse, Riley was a talented Softball player. Riley's father vas adamant towards her continuing her Softball career, helieving that she had a better chance to earn a scholarship Is a Softball player, but Riley's passion was lacrosse. The pme was fast paced and more appealing to her. As a younger player, she loved to attack and score, experiencing a thrill In firing a shot passed the goalie. It was this passion that con- inced her to concentrate on lacrosse. Her father supponed ;he decision as Riley continued to excel at the high school 'vel. As a member of the 1995 U.S. Under- 19 World Cup junner-up team, a two-time high school Ail-American, and three-time All-Coimty and All-Metro team member, Riley (vas destined to continue to play lacrosse at the collegiate level. Coach Jennifer Ulehla credits Riley with "putting JMU lacrosse on the map and building the lacrosse program. She's |)ne of the best athletes I recruited to this university. " Riley's decision to play here was certainly not iincalculated, however. k.eceiving offers from Loyola, the University of Maryland, nd Vanderbilt University, she chose JMU because she felt le program was going to continue to build, and she wanted good school that kept getting better. Riley was aware that Ihe lacrosse team had a new coach, but she was confident In Ulehla's experience and the direction in which the team Jvas moving.
Her teammates needed no further evidence to assure Inem that Riley was one of the greatest lacrosse players Ihey've ever seen. Sophomore Michelle Zurfluh saw Riley
; a leader and role model, especially since they shared the lame position at attack. "Megan taught me so much about lacrosse it is unbelievable. She wouldn't necessarily take me lo the side and show me a move, but she would encourage Ine to try it and to follow her example. She was so much 1 to watch that you wanted to duplicate almost every shot Ihat she took, and as an attacker, that was a challenge," laid Zurfluh. The shot that Zurfluh described was Riley's l:laim to fame, which no other player in the nation had. ICnown by her coach, teammates, and even opponents as Ihe "Riley Riser," it was one of the most difficult shots to defend because of its ability to start low in the air and
literally rise up to the corners of the goal. Riley poetical! fired her "Riley Riser" against Loyola to break the team record for goals.
But despite Riley's performance and the team's efforts, the lacrosse team encountered its fair share of disappoint- ments. Facing the Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA Cham- pionships, the Lady Dukes took the field with confidence after abusing the Blue Devils 1 5-6 during a scrimmage earlier in the year. "The loss to Duke was an entire team let down, Riley included. Everyone was responsible for losing," coach Ulehla said.
Riley agreed, "We should have won — we were winning at haUtime, and we just didn't come out to play the second half"
For the senior, that was her final game, but Ulehla said Riley "learned a lot from that experience with Duke, and is entering the U.S. National era of her life where she will continue to grow."
With a player like Riley, it seemed as if there was nothing left for a coach to teach at the collegiate level. But that wasn't the case, according to coach Ulehla. Since she arrived, "Riley has grown immensely. She's a more complete player. At midfield, she worked on her ability to run the field. She's in the best shape of her fife. She moves the ball, creates an attack, especially when double- and triple-teamed." Riley worked on strengthening her nondominant hand which became almost as strong as her right hand. She also improved her ability to move and communicate.
Her effort over four years definitely paid off Individually, Riley was ranked number nine nationally and accumulated a
significant number of awards and achievements which in- cluded the Brine/rWLCA All-Ajnerica first team and All- South region first team. College Lacrosse USA Preseason All-America first team. Most Valuable Player of the North/ South Senior All-Star Game, CAA Player of the Year, All- CAA first team, CAA Tournament Most Valuable Player, JMU Female Athlete of the Year and the JMU Lacrosse Team's Most Valuable Player, {continued on p. 146) »

(continued from p. 145) But e\'en after losing Riley as a player, the team maintained its focus, despite the profound effects of losing their leader. Her high school and college teammate Jess Marion, a junior, said, "The things I remember the most about Rile)' are the times when I would catch myself watching her go to a goal. She is not only the best player I've played with, but she's by far the most exciting to watch. " Marion undoubtedly felt the loss of such a tremendous player, but with another year remaining for her, Marion tried to focus on the up- coming season. "We have great players that are willing to work hard day in and day out in order to have another great season. I don't think anyone feels the need to replace her [Riley], we jiist want to continue the success of the program. " And with Riley interning as an assistant coach in the spring, the lacrosse team was still under the guidance of its former phenom. Nevertheless, the transiuon from player to coach was difficult. "It is very hard not playing or being an actual part of the team," Riley explained. "It was like I had nothing to do. I didn't know what to do with my time." Riley did, however, spend much of her time recovering from knee surgery with the hopes of working out with her former team to prepare for the U.S. Nationals.

"Go!" yelled Brad, as he jumped on Scott's back, wrapping one arm around Scott's chest and pointing forward violendy with the other. Scott did not know how it had come to this — Brad riding pigg}'back and shouting. The ominous clouds of Kilkenny's Stout had descended on Scott's brain like a London fog. Regardless of the events leading up to this moment and any rationale behind listening to Brad, he did the only thing of which he was capable. Scott ran.
Leaving the three women behind, the silly duo hot- tooted across the cobblestone streets because, as Scott remem- bered, they had to catch a bus. The final bus for Fiesole, a small town north of the city in the foothills of the Apennines, departed Santa Maria Novella precisely at 12:30 a.m. You could set your watch to it. Scott and Brad both did, and that is why they understood how dire their situation was. The women laughed among one another and aped the sprint- ing duo as they disappeared around the corner. Brad's corduroy jacket, flapping in the running wind, was the last thing the women saw. The trio walked briskly toward the bus station without their former escorts. Knowing they had enough time to catch the bus with the established pace, they continued their imitation, the most sincere form of mockery. Navigating the streets through glassy eyes, Scott's already poor night vision had suffered a severe setback through the previous four hours ol alcoholic intake. Nonetheless, Scott continued his torrid pace, never slowing to examine the current situation. Brad turned his head to look for the three women. They were nowhere to be seen.
The running continued as Scott jimiped off curbs, wove between trashcans and barely slowed for intersections.
As the race continued, the 185 pounds on Scon's back began to take its toU, and, unbeknownst to Scott, he slowly began to lean forward. Eventually the weight became too great for the muscles in his lower back, and, collapsing under the weight, Scott's toe on his right hiking boot clipped an incongruously cut piece of stone.
Although Scott was straining under the considerable weight, it was Italian craftsmanship that stamped the inevitable conclusion on the whole unfonunate episode; Italian art and architectiu-e was made world famous by the masters Michelangelo and Donatello, by vast constructions like St. Peter's in Rome, by cities like Florence and the best of Italy has touched histor)' in a way matched by few, but there are also reasons that everything in Pisa, from the bap- tistry to the infamous tower, is leaning, and there are reasons all of Venice is slowly sinking, and it's that sometimes "e)'eing it" is not an infallible architectural (continued on j). 1 33)

(continued from p. 150) •• engineering method, because if entire cities were erected in such a manner, applying that rationale to the streets in Florence was simple: Giuseppe the cobblestone layer did not make the long list of world- renowned Florentine artists. Scott and Brad fell.
Brad catapulted over Scott's left shoulder, landing with a thud on his left hand, knee and thigh. Scott thought it better to break the fall with the side of his face and landed Temple Flight 404 on the bumpy cobblestone runwav. Brad rolled to a stop at the foot ot a street Dumpster, his back propped against it, and watched Scott skid to a halt. The two lay there, wallowing in pain, for quite some time. Although they were never sure of how long it was, the expired time was enough for the three women, who had been walking the entire time, to catch up to, laugh at and pass the two dnmks sining on the street in front of the lonely Dumpster. Had the trashed men sat there until morning, they would have taken away by city employees.
Realizing their folly, but not realizing that they had been on the ground long enough that their bus had since departed, the two suddenly found the energy to spring to their feet and begin their quest anew, this time each man's feet carrying their rightful owners. Husding across the traffic circle and entering the stadon, the two men gazed in horror at the empty bus lane.
Scott and Brad remained leaning against a railing for over 10 minutes. To no avail, they tried to rationalize why they had missed the bus, never for an instance considering their tall; the best reason they could come up with was that the bus left and they weren't on it. Scott put his right hand to the side of his head only to draw it away smeared with blood. "Let's get a taxi, " he mumbled. The jammed cogs of proverbial anarchy were greased with alcohol and had spun wildly out of control, causing the machine to ultimately crash.
Brad awoke the next morning with a swollen knee and two bruises in his thigh, one distincdy resembling the shape of Chapstick, the other a lighter. Scott awoke with a Band- Aid over his cut, conveniently attached to his hair on one side and his sideburn on the other, ingeniously applied with the skill of a surgeon during his stupor. Both awoke with heavy, hazy heads. Scott blamed Brad and demanded he be given three Ibuprofen — even though Brad insisted the recommended dosage was only one — because his head fell from six feet up and hit the concrete. The arguing continued imtil Brad gave in. When the three girls saw Brad and Scott again, they laughed. ■

The women's volleyball team strong-arms opponents on their way to the CAA crown
title
Chris Beerman grew up as a self-described gym rat. His father, a volleyball coach, witnessed his son grow to an All- American at Ball State, marry a Ball State women's player, Mary Beth, and enter the field of coaching. With volleyball implanted in his very roots, Beerman was always a man waiting for opportunity to knock at his door. When the university knocked in January 1996, Beerman answered with the best turn-around of any NCAA Division I team, leading the Lady Dukes to a 25-9 record.
Beerman's team made a statement not only in the Colo- nial Athletic Associadon, but they also introduced themselves to the NCAA tournament in 1999. On their way to a 26-7 record and their first-ever NCAA berth, the women finished 9-1 at home, won the Colonial Athletic Association tide and received numerous accolades. Beerman was named CAA Coach of the Year, sharing honors with GMU's Pat Kendrick, and was voted Coach of the Year among Division I coaches in Virginia. Senior Lindsay Collingwood was named CAA Player of the Year, Virginia Player of the Year and was the first Duke ever to earn All- District honors. The Dukes were repre- sented on the All-CAA team by CoUing- wood, senior Taryn Kirk and junior Karla Gessler, with senior Christina Gianino receiving second team honors.
The Dukes fought stage fright, intimidation and the Toreros of San Diego before falling in the first round of the NCAAs. "I was really disappointed at how tentative we were," said Beerman. "I guess that's the most disappointing thing, that we didn't play up to our potential." Even with the early exit, nothing could take away from the team's incredible season.
With the ultimate goal of moving their home games to the Convocation Center, the team was noticed for their success by students and also members of the community. Beerman helped found a United States Amateur Volleyball to the NCAA National Championship Tournament.

league in Harrisonburg that included 40 kids and six teams the first year, and wanted to create a local fan base. "We care about the local community. People saw us beat Tennessee and were impressed. The crowd carried us emotionally," said Beerman.
But after four years of success on the court under Beerman's guiding hand, the women's volleyball program prepared for change. Beerman's first recruiting class, an assortment ot powerful raw talent and supporting players who refined their technical games, was nearing graduation and Beerman had accepted a head-coaching job from the University of Pittsburgh. Confident in their abilities, the team accepted the challenge and was determined to continue their success.
"These girls have had a taste of the NCAA and they are not satisfied with anything less. I'm temporarily filling in, keeping things rolling, to make sure there are no glitches. Everything is normal," said assistant coach Anne Jackson during the spring. Jackson felt new Athletics Director Jeff Bourne would find a replacement that could continue the growing sense of volleyball tradition established by Beerman.
Beerman's departure had obvious repercussions within the team dynamic. Junior Karla Gessler, whom Beerman predicted to be a CAA MVP candidate during the 2001 season, said, "We're keeping the team together no matter who the new coach is. We are still lifting and we get together and discuss goals to maintain our focus."
Although another knock at Beerman's door caused him to leave the university for a larger program, the women's volleyball team heard a knock at their own door. The chal- lenge of persevering under difficult conditions arrived and the team responded with the same resiliency that got them

Red lights illuminated two microphones and a table with four water bottles. No drum set, no fancy lighting or decorations were needed for the show. The female folk-rock duo took the stage with only two guitars and their voices to perform for the sold out crowd at the Convocation Center, Saturday, Feb. 12. That was all the Indigo Girls needed to wow the audience with an energetic, sing- along show.
JMU was the band's first college performance of the Indigo Girls' acoustic tour. After recording their recent album, "Come On Now Social," the rest of the band stayed in London while Emily Saliers and Amy Ray toured the United States. "This is nice, " Saliers commented about their return to the old acoustic style of their earlier days.
Saliers and Ray met in high school in Georgia and first played together for a school talent show. After going their separate ways for college, the two met up again in Atlanta and played the bar scene for awhile before their debut album, "Strange Fire." Ten years later the (continued on p. 161) ••

(continued from p. 159) duo had sold over 7 million total albums, including one double-platinum album, three platinum albums and four gold records, along with six Grammy nominations.
All the lame had not gone to their heads as was evident in their casual attire and intimacy with the Convo crowd. "We've worked hard to get this image. We turn down Vogue covers all the time," Ray jokingly exclaimed. Ray's cowboy hat and jeans and Saiiers Hawaiian shirt showed that these girls were all about their music.
The crowd's excitement was evident from the first chords of "Reunion," which opened the show. The set consisted ot both old and new songs, with such classics as "Closer to Fine, " "Galileo," and "Least Complicated." With guitar changes after each song, including mandolins and banjos, the duo toured with 22 guitars in all. Several times the Indigo Girls stepped back from their microphones and let the audience fill in the words, which they did with precision.
The Indigo Girls created a personal and intimate rappon with the audience by abandoning their planned set and taking requests. Ray reflected on her experiences in Australia after "Gone Again," when she realized how much the song sounded like Elton John's "Crocodile Rock. " With the help of the audience she did an impromptu performance of the first verse.
Near the end of the show, Ray was distracted when someone threw a CD onto the stage. The Overtones, a coed a cappella group, released a CD with their version of the Indigo Girls' "Ghost" and wanted the songwriters to hear it. "We couldn't get close enough, so we asked a girl in front of us to throw it for us," said sophomore Elizabeth Carey. She was ecstatic when Ray picked it up and took it with her as they left the stage.
After such an energetic performance an encore was in- evitable. As soon as the Indigo Girls had made their way back to the stage, the concert took a more serious turn. Ray explained their participation in the fight for low power FM radio. She said the FCC voted to create more stations to provide tor more diversity on the radio. It wasn't long before Congress began legislation to block this action and the Indigo Girls became advocates for the cause. With participation from the audience, they recorded a PSA aimed at senators and congressmen to fight for "the much needed voice of communities everywhere."
The Indigo Girls finished off" the show with "Chicken- man," and "Kid Fears," leaving the audience still wanting more. Although the place still shook with clapping and cheering, the lights came on and the bleachers began to clear. The Indigo Girls' visit to the university left everyone feeling a little "closer to fine." ■

"When cutting the mushn, should I allow for the length?" A student questioned his knowledgeable instnjaor over the sounds of the busy little shop.
The whir and click of six sewing machines rumbled through the floorboards of the second floor of the old house. Swatches of fabric lay haphazardly aroimd the room, on the hardwood floor, draped over tables or piled in the corners. Headless and limbless dress forms stood guard near the door as if expectandy awaiting their next garments to walk through the entrance.
Lincoln House, located across from the Quad on South Main Street, was home to the cloth creations that adorned the limbs ol performers in the university's major productions. Headed by Pam Johnson, a 20-year veteran of the costimie department, the costume shop had a staff of students imder the supervision of Kathleen Conery. Design professor Dr. Jenner Brunk also assisted and taught classes at the shop. Designing and sewing a multitude of projects, some students were employees, while others worked at the shop earning practicum hours for class credit. Three classes were offered by the universit)' and held at the shop, including Technical Costume Design.
The classes created costumes for productions staged in Latimer-Shaeffer Theatre in Duke Hall. According to Conery, the amount of time and manpower required for a single production depended on the size of the cast, time period and whether or not the shop had the appropriate garments in stock.
"We almost never build anything entirely from scratch, except for 'Mikado.' The dance costumes, however, usually are built from scratch," said Conery in a break from her small but diligent costume design class. The "Mikado" production from the 1997/1998 Masterpiece Season required special Japanese kimonos that were made exclusively for that play. The most elaborate production, however, was the costumes needed tor the play "School for Wives." Set in the 1700s, the costume staH {continued on p. 164) »

"A lot of people who come here have never sewn before .ind they leave knowing how. There's no stress here, no yelling, it's a very mellow environment to work in," said Conery referring to the students that were quietly sewing and cutting in the background.
Brunk found that students were usually quite proud to learn how to sew well. "One of my students said his mom was going to put me on her Christmas list," said Brunk, who, like Conery, believed sewing was a necessary skill for any student regardless of their major.
Spring was the busiest time for the shop but the statt only focused on one production at a time. The designers first met with the production staff to find out the kind of costumes needed. After designing the outfits, the actors and actresses were measured, fitted and then given the completed costume once the alterations were made.
Senior an major Erin West planned a career in costume design. "When I was little I wanted to be a fashion designer. Everyone is so supportive and laid-back here. It's really cool how much you learn," said West, who spent most of her time working in the shop. West's devotion to the craft paid off. She was chosen to co-design for a production of "The Foreigner" during spring semester after a teacher noticed her work in the department.
Junior Geoffrey Ehrlich was a theatre and dance major who also planned a career behind the scenes. A costume designer, Ehrlich thought he had learned many things at the university costume shop. "I love clothes and I love fabric. It's really fun to sew. Right now I'm making a blue coat," said Ehrlich, measuring a stretch of material on a worktable.
Conery insisted that every student should take a sewing class. "So many students can't do simple skills. It's a colla- borative art. So many garments you could learn to sew yourself and it's a life skill that stretches your creativity," said Conery, who had students from different majors. Actors appeared to be particularly affected by learning a behind- the-scenes art.
"Actors say they know they're a better performer after they invest so much blood, sweat and tears in their cos- tume," said Brunk. ■

From
the outside, the two-story, beige-colored house nesded on Layman Avenue appeared to be a run-of- the-mill accommodation for a group of students trying to make it through their last year of college. However, the inside of this benign edifice revealed another side, one that dated back to the dark roots of the Civil War.
Known as the Rat House to seniors Sean Haran, Toby Senff, Danny Shoop and Marc Veli, they, along with several overnight guests, spent more than a few sleepless nights tossing and turning.
After a brief run-in with the pesky rodents, the name was coined in the beginning of the year. "Even though we didn't have [the rats] for very long, the name just stuck," said Haran.
The house's creaky doors, staircase with loose stairs and unexplainable drafts would be enough to get anyone's blood pumping, but the four guys thought nothing of these characteristics deemed typical of a haimted house ... until the arrival ot a mysterious letter in late September.
Addressed simply to "Resident, " the barely legible contents of the letter revealed the life story of a 32-year-old man from Macon, Georgia. The man explained that his passion for haunted houses originated from stories that his own childhood house was haunted, and that he'd made a hobby of collecting information about such houses from history books and personal accounts. He claimed to have read about their house in a book entitled "Haunted Streets of America."
"We planned to write him back, but never got around to it," said Shoop. "Besides, we didn't know that the house was haunted, nor had we really seen anything."
Soon after they received the letter, stories poured in from previous tenants. A former resident who stayed in the only downstairs bedroom the year before claimed to have seen the spiritual mani- festadon of a little girl on more than one occasion. Another said that he swore the walls within the same room bled during the night.
"Rumor has it that this house served as slave quarters for a nearby plantation during the mid-
1800s, " Shoop explained. "Supposedly, a young girl starved to death in that room after her father left: to fight in the Civil War."
The most interesting rumor was that the house was part of the Underground Railroad. This would account for the numerous filled-in crawl spaces, where slaves slept during their hiding, located throughout the house and for the name of their street: Layman Avenue.
Apan from these interesting tales, the interior of the house, complete with artificial wooden panels, board games and a Yoda poster, had the feel of a 1970s-type sitcom. The uneven floorboards in the living room led to a kitchen that was more than double the size of those found in most off- campus apartments.
In addidon to the house, their landlord needed to fill an apartment located just a few feet away from the Rat House. This presented the perfect oppor- tunity for two of their fi-iends to move in and take part in the fijn. Besides, the apartment was equipped with a dishwasher, which was something that the house was lacking.
In order to keep things interesting, the men made up a game called base football. As their neighbors could probably attest to, playing out in the street in front of their house made for a very interesting game, especially with a rule that hitting a car or a house counted as two outs.
Although their house may have been haunted, they made light of their living situation by experi- menting with fear. After hearing quite a few nunors they decided to carry out their ovnx version of "The Blair Witch Project, " tagging theirs as none other than "The Rat House Project.'
"We all gathered in Marc's room, upstairs, and camped out for a night, " said Shoop. They recorded everything they heard, or thought they heard, in any notebooks. "Nothing really happened, but we had a good time scaring one another."
So with all the gossip about their house being haunted, you'd think that it would be difficult to attract new tenants. This was hardly the case. A group of women signed the lease for next year and were looking forward to having some adventures of their own. ■

So, you promised your o^^s that you would get enough sleep. You tried reall^nard to stick by that promise. And then something happened: college. Classes, tests, labs, reports and then finals. You found that sleep was not an essential but, rather, a privilege granted to only a select few, and you were not one ot the blessed. So what did you do? After being up all night studying for a final, coffee no longer helped, nor did the random run around your apartment in shorts and a T-shin in the freezing cold succeed in waking you up. There must have been something students did to make it through the day on little-or-no sleep. The answer: taking naps ... anywhere.
We caught some students napping in favorite places to sleep on campus like inside Carrier Library, on the Qiad, in the renovated Warren Hall "airport lounge" and, of course, the Anthony-Seeger Hall orange couch.

From bowling to canoeing, students earn credit while getting in shape and having fun
Between General EJ^ration, majors, minors and electives, students v*«^ble to create a unique experience during college. Vua^s saw a college education as an invest- ment. Professors considered it a job. Students viewed college as an experience. While each academic department had its own requirements, some smdents branched out into electives to take advantage of opportunities.
"It's nice that the university doesn't confine students to classrooms, " said junior Gary Green.
Green was just one of hundreds of students that took advantage of a one-credit kinesiology class that did not keep students behind a desk. The Department of Kinesiology offered several introductory classes focusing on a variety of activities, including aikido, bowling, river canoeing, moun- tain biking and scuba diving.
"I think it is good that the students have an opportunity to take classes that might strike an interest in a new hobby," said Green of her river canoeing course.
The classes were part of the Basic Instructional Program offered by the School of Kinesiology and Recreation. The classes gave students a chance to learn more about themselves, to test their limits and to gain self-confidence. They also assisted students in developing "means for their lifetime fitness and wellness," said Dr. Michael Goldberger, the head of the School of Kinesiology and Recreation.
"Personally I took this class because I'm a senior, I only needed 12 credits this semester and I wanted to learn how to bowl," said Becky Lamb. "I'm not ready for the pro tour yet, but I do actually hit a strike every now and then. Also, this class is 100 percent more fun than any other class I've taken in my career at JMU." In the Basic Bowling class students competed in three person {continued on p. 174) »

Harrisonburg itself even became a classroom for Basic Mountain Cycling students. "We bike a couple of miles ... ride out to Massanutten twice a week," said senior Mike Shaw. The highlight of the class was a five-hour ride to Reddish Knob.
The 1 8-person class, taught by Trent Davis was inex- pensive; the only equipment necessary was a mountain bike and a helmet. "If you aren't in shape now, you will be by the end of the class," said Davis. "This class is great because you arent cooped up inside a classroom. It's gorgeous outside this time of year."
"I would absolutely recommend this class," said senior Aisha Mian, a student in the Basic River Canoeing course. Everyone was paired into to coed groups, consequendy, Basic River Canoeing provided a great opportunity to meet members of the opposite sex. Besides being a great social experience, the class was also a great learning ex-perience and, "You don't have to be good to do well in the class."
Some of the classes required use of expensive equipment and therefore required students to pay an equipment-use fee. Participants in Basic River Canoeing, taught by Massanutten Resort employee Keith Arnold, were charged S95 in addition to tuition for the course. Canoes were towed fi'om the resort to Newman Lake and the Shenandoah River for classes. Bowling was a bit less expensive, costing students just $50 for all lane fees and equipment rental. Many of the classes also had other require- ments; students in the Basic River Canoeing class were required

The most expensive class for equipment was Scuba Diving. After passing a swimming test, the class first learned the fundamentals of diving. Broken into two separate classes each week, the Tuesday class was used to watch videos, while the Thursday class was used to perform the techniques learned from the videos. The class swam in the Godwin Hall pool. Scuba Diving also offered dives outside of class. For a nominal fee of S25, students could dive at a local quarry or in Hot Springs, W.Va.
"I was hoping for girls in bikinis, but everyone had to wear full body suits. But the class turned out to be great because an underwater adventure is fantastic," said senior Jeffrey Pond.
Yet introductory courses did not have to break bank accounts in every instance. Basic Aikido class took place in UREC. In Dr. C.B. Claiborne's class, participants worked to maintain a sense of harmony with oneself and with the world. Aikido, said Claiborne, is literally interpreted as "harmony with your spirit." The class also focused on self-defense movements. A means for self- cultivation and improvement, aikido was not used to physically defeat others, but to conquer the negative characteristics that inhibit the functioning of the mind and body.
Students agreed that these kinesiology classes offered a great chance to do something different. Senior Jennifer Safford commented that it was encouraging that anyone "could take the class, no matter the size or shape you are in."
"Canoeing gives me a chance to get out of the classroom and really experience what I am learning. It is, however, my least favorite class when it rains. We canoe rain or shine!"

I here was an organization on campus that somehow found time to not only make it to their own meetings, but to also watch over most every other campus event. R^ardless of where you were or what you were doing, you were bound to see them. Thev' were there: a quiet but prominent presence calmK' positioned along the periphen,', easily identified by their na\y blue shirts with yellow insignia, a two-way radio dangled over a shoulder like a techno toga and most noticeable, the black 18-inch police-issue Stream Light hanging from their side. They were the Campus Cadets.
With over 40 active members, the Campus Cadet pro- gram had a large presence over students and the campus. Head- quartered in Shenandoah Hall, the cadets shared space and philosophy with the JMU police department. Lt. Steve VC'llfong, the cadet program coordinator, oversaw the entire operation through intimate communication with senior Daniel Acker, lead supervisor, and the four operation super- visors, seniors Jerimiah Morris, Christopher Bean, David Hofl&nan and Malinda La\Tnan. Graduated in December, Layman was replaced by KeNin Ho\vd\-shell, also a senior.
In addition to securing special events on campus, the cadets did safety patrok aroimd campus, 7 p.m. to 1 a.m..
Sunday throu^ Wednesday, until 2 a.m. on Thursday, and 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., Friday and Saturday. The night patrol was broken up into "K" areas, with two to three cadets assigned to each unit. Kl encompassed the Quad, all of the Bluestone areas and the west side of South Main St.; K2 covered the back- side of Gibbons Hall, Warren Hall and the Hillside and Village areas; K3 consisted of Bridgeforth Stadium, Godwin Hall and Godwin Field, and extended as far as Sonner Hall, including Greek Row; all areas east of 1-81, including the new CISAT residence halls and L REC made up K4. The sateUite unit KIO, toured around campus in a van.
"Our general intent is to uphold campus safety," Acker said. "^Tiile on the weekends, especially, we watch for public drunkenness, we also secure academic buildings and uf)on request, escon students to their residence halls."
Being a cadet was like any other job on campus in that they were paid, yet as operational supervisor Jerr)' Morris noted, "I sometimes forget this is a job. At this point I acknowledge it more as public duty, a civil service." But the responsibiht)' didn't go without its laughs. "While I've encountered rather precarious situations, mainly related to alcohol consumption, I've come across the less harmfiil, lighter side. One Friday night, I found an individual on Greek Row crawling around underneath a bush, calling out names. He said he was looking for his friends."
One thing was for certain, with their dedication to involvement in student happenings and their consequent ubiquitoiu presence around campus. Campus Cadets weren't just the watchfiil eyes and ears of JMU, they were a pair of helping hands. ■

In an effort to stop hate crimes, members of the JMU community gather on the steps of Wilson Hall
As the school day wound down and darkness settled over campus, a group of students solemnly walked toward the steps of Wilson Hall to hold vigil for a special cause. Friends and familiar faces greeted one another with hugs and words of encouragement, aware of the emotional nature of the ensuing activity. After handing out candles, program organizers lit the wicks and passed the flame
together for a positive cause like this. It makes me very hopeful because students should care about people and each other," said Dr. Cynthia Gilliatt of the English department.
One by one, the names of 1 50 hate crime victims were read aloud. Attendees stared into the flames of their candles, some with tears in their eyes. Their solemn faces reflected how close to home the issue hit. "I'm sure we all know
througfi^r a crowd of approximately 70 people. Qui dgK^jfoed as participants took their places on the fng of the cupola bell abruptly broke the m silence. The first speaker stood.
"We're here to talk about hate crimes," began Jennie Smith, co-coordinator of Harmony, the campus support group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons. "Hate crimes affect the whole community on the basis of race, religion, disabilities or sexual orientation. Hate crimes have probably affected someone you know or love," she said.
On Oct. 7, 1998, University of Wyoming student Matthew Shephard was tied to a fence post, brutally beaten and left in the middle of nowhere. He died from the injuries he suffered. On the first anniversary of his passing, activists and those of the general public outraged by his senseless death organized vigils to "Stop the Hate" throughout the country. Harmony, in partnership with the international organization Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) coordinated the intimate campus gathering to remember Shephard and to strive for prevention of other hate crimes. "I think it's important to see students coming
someone with the same name as someone on this list," said Smith looking up from her list. "How would you feel if you lost one of those people?"
Vigil participants read poems, prayed and offered words of encouragement. Several members of the audience active in promoting hate crime legislation pleaded with the crowd to practice love and learn to be fearless. Impas- sioned by their cause, organizers urged attendees to ask their congressmen to pass the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. "I view this as the beginning to creating a week-long event in the future. Hate crimes happen to everyone so there's no reason for not being involved," said Andrea Sarate, lead organizer from Safe Zone.
"Please don't leave here and forget what we came for. We hold this vigil in memory, but also in commitment," said Smith as each candle was extinguished. Smith left the crowd with the words of Barbara Jordan, a disabled African-American woman who became a Texas politician following Reconstruction: "A spirit of harmony can only survive if each of us remembers, when bitterness and self- interest seem to prevail, that we share a common destiny." ■

Keven Quillon questioned an unsuspecting audience member.
A woman in a miniskirt, boa and thigh-high boots surveyed the audience. Her quest: to find $2 to buy new pasties. In the first row, two actresses loudly argued about aliens and nuclear weapons. Would they visit us on New Years Eve? Would the Y2K bug set off nuclear weapons in other countries? Audience members exchanged worried glances as the performance began.
Throughout Theatre II, dancers and aaors intermingled with the audience, discussing the possible perils ot the advent of the new millennium. Set on New Year's Eve 1999, "Celebration" was wrinen by Tom Jones in the 1960s. The university's experimental theater staged the musical with an all-student ensemble. The grueling process of assembling a cast began with a night of auditions. »

{continued from p. J 86) » In the dim and drafty main room of Theatre II, approximately 20 people gathered in mid- September to audition for the production of "Celebration." Student director William Hinds, a junior musical theater major, traded jokes with the actors as they prepared to strut their stuff. Actors were required to prepare 16 bars of a song of their choice, an excerpt from "Celebration's" score or a 30-second monologue. Musical director Samantha Birchett and choreographer Michelle Ferrara, both seniors, joined Hinds at a table while each actor performed.
After five actresses sang, they moved on to the next stage ot the audition process. In another room, Ferrara taught the first group ot actresses a few dance moves to perform tor Hinds and Birchett.
"It is not about carving into the space; feel the weight of the movement, " instructed Ferrara as she examined the dancers' movements. Despite their intense concentration on learning the moves, the dancers were loose, laughing at Ferrara's unexpected advice. "I'm not looking for you to get the steps. I want to see you funkin' out!" said Ferrara.
Meanwhile, two of the four men audition- ing were standing before Birchett and Hinds, music sheets in their shaky hands. They per- tormed an original "Celebration" song, "Where Did it Go? " Birchett interrupted one ot the men mid-song. "Keep in mind what you are singing. It should have a character quality to it."
Moments later, the floor was given to the first group ot women. Following Ferrara's lead at first and then performing without her, the group moved through the dance sequence they had just learned while Hinds and Birchett watched, taking notes. The women were then asked to dance freestyle to the tune of Sal t- n-Peppa's "Shoop." "Just bust out," Hinds advised.
"We need to see you be relaxed and go nuts," added Ferrara.
During a break in the dancing, Hinds announced that the show would be cast that night; there would be no call- backs. He thanked 1 0 aaors for their time and dismissed them.
By the end of the night, the cast was set. There were tour leads, three male and one female, and 1 2 female revelers who formed a dancing chorus.

"What really hit me about Angel was who she was (a stripper) and what I had to wear," said Fox. She wore a micro- miniskirt, a thong, pasties, a feather boa and thigh-high boots for most of the play. Fox donned only pasties and a barely- there skirt for an entire musical number. Despite the provocative attire. Fox's family supported her portrayal of Angel.
Hinds steered the cast through a series of late-night practices and rehearsals crammed into a time period of less than four weeks. The show ran from Oct. 26 to Oct. 30 with nightly performances and one Saturday matinee.
Performing under a student director was a new experience for both Fox and Quillon, who played the role of Orphan. Quillon, a sophomore musical theater major,
felt that it was sometimes harder to take direction from peers, but it didn't influence his decision to try out for "Celebration. "
Fox thought Hinds was very professional to work with. She quickly adjusted to his direction. "You are thrown into an atmosphere where you are working with your friends and you want to goof off, but you can't," she said. "Normally kidding around would be natural, but 1 always have to re- member that playtime starts after the rehearsals are done."
Hinds was determined to make the performance as perfect as possible because of his attraction to the script and score. Hinds came across "Celebration " while researching on-line for a musical theatre performance class.
"I was really drawn to the music and the universal plot," said Hinds. "Since the show is an attempt at a ritual musical, the story has a very broad, allegorical plot." Although the play bombed on Broadway, Hinds thought it would be perfea for an intimate space like Theatre II. "It makes such a difference to have the actors so close to you, and I thought this show would really be effective," said Hinds.
Angel, played by junior Wendy Fox, and Orphan, played by sophomore Keven Quillon, embrace as they begin their romance. Orphan was "a boy lost in the storm" and Angel was "a stripper with a heart of gold." ■ Photo by Carlton Wolfe
When performance week finally drew near, spirits soared in Theatre II. The cast began their dress rehearsal with a series of vocal exercises while lighting was adjusted on the stage and the pianist warmed up.
"We have to celebrate!" sang the cast, as they set the mood of the play. The narrator, the wily Potemkin, told the story of Angel, Orphan and Mr. Rich to the imagined occupants of a bomb shelter.
Dancers, clad in black clothes and go-go boots, twirled and leaped on the stage as they rehearsed one of the first scenes of the play. Quillon, dressed in a sweater vest and collared shin, entered clutching a knapsack, whistling nervously to himself As he sang the first musical number, the dancers surrounded him as they attempted to seduce the lost Orphan.
A few scenes later. Fox entered in full dress. Twirling her feather boa, Fox was the center of attention for an entire number as she stripped ofl^her shin and sang of Angel's desire for fame and fortune. Leaping into the arms of Orphan, Angel began to fall in love with the unlikely hero of the play.
Suzanne Wogisch, a senior, remarked that she'd never done something so contemporary or risque. As one of the revelers, Wogisch was masked for the entire play. "You're putting more of yourself out there, because part of you is hidden and it forces you to bring out deeper character," she said. After a smooth dress rehearsal, the group kicked off a week of sold out shows.
When the last performance of "Celebration" ended on Parents Weekend, the cast was finally able to tnJy celebrate. Decked out in their Halloween costumes, the directors, cast and crew toasted the show at a late-night party. Relief was the dominant emotion. Two cast members summed up the experience of "Celebration" with mixed feelings: "It was outdated, the audience might not have liked it, but we pulled together, stepped up (to the challenge) and we celebrated." ■

Glen's Fair ?V(ufo\\ers students a variety of tricks and treats for fHalloweer
Tm. on the Wednesday before Halloween, the dgor^D a small corner shop in downtown Harrisonburg Tained ajar. Bins of rubber snakes, plastic devil's spears, and pirate hats lined the sidewalk and provided the perfect incentive for the passers-by to come inside and take a closer look.
"You know what would be cool? If I found colored eyelashes," said sophomore Ambre Bosko as she entered the shop. Sophomore Eliza Steck followed her friend. The cluttered aisles engulfed the girls as they browsed for bits and pieces to complete their costumes. Bosko was on a mission to find pieces to complement her '70s porn star look.
"Like in 'Boogie Nights,'" Bosko explained.
Steck had the added stress of finding accessories for more than one costume because she was attending two separate events. "I really want to be Captain Hook, but I'm being pressured by Ambre to be a roller derby girl," said Steck.
Bosko pointed out a sparkling royal blue tube top for Steck to investigate. "This is it. This is your top! Don't you think it will go great with your black shorts?"
Steck agreed and swung the little piece of fabric over her shoulder. However, her attention quickly diverted to another display. "Does Captain Hook have a mustache and a beard?" Steck selected the mustache and pulled it off the rack.
"Monster Mash" played in the background as the two pushed by a trio of college- aged guys wearing grotesque masks. A rack of brightly colored boas immediately caught Bosko's eye. "This place has everything. I definitely want this one," she said and glanced at the price tag. "$16.95!" she exclaimed.
With an assortment of hats to choose from, juniors Patty Yussefieli, Mina Mahini and Laura Farley keep an eye out for the perfect addition to their Halloween attire. ■ Originally opened as a soda fountain, Glen's Fair Price developed into a variety store and was known for its wide range of mer-chandise including costumes, pets and camera equipment. ■ With her costume idea in mind, junior J.ntii Conger looks through a rack of clothes and costumes. While many items were available for sale. Glen's also rented out costume ensembles for $15-20. ■ Photos (left to right) by Jessica Surace, Statia Molewski and Surace
"That's kind of expensive, I'll try to find mine from a couple of years ^o," added Steck. Bosko and Steck planned to spend less than $20 on their costumes. Bosko reluctandy walked away from the rack empty handed.
After several laps through the crowded aisles, Steck decided to go with her original idea: Captain Hook. She tossed the tube top onto a display of colored hair spray, located near the front.
"I just can't see you going as a man for Halloween," Bosko pleaded.
Steck smirked and headed to the register to make her purchase. "Only $6.24. Not bad for just a plastic sword and a mustache," she said as she held up the brown paper bag.
Once again, Glen's Fair Price Store, located at 187 N. Main St., established itself as a depot for students to find that perfect accessory or even an entire Halloween ensemble. With over 1 ,000 costumes in stock. Glen's was targeted as early as September.
"Year after year, I have customers come in to request a certain costume, but are disappointed to find that it's not available," co-owner Gary Stiteler said. "After years of playing this game, they get smart and reserve early."
Glen's originally opened as a soda fountain in 1 94 1 , but evolved into a variety store that sold everything from crafts to pets to camera equipment. The shop didn't become known for its costume rentals until the mid-80s. Sadly, the original proprietor and the store's namesake, Glen Stiteler, passed away in January 2000.
"We got the idea to start renting them, because students didn't want to spend money on costumes they would only wear once." The average rental price ranged from $15-$20 for one day and was half price for each additional day.
Stiteler regularly attended nationwide costume conven- tions and exhibitions throughout the year in order to obtain new ideas. According to Stiteler, movies such as "Scream" and "Austin Powers" inspired costume ideas based on their popular charaaers. Despite predictions, "Star Wars" costumes were not the year's top sellers.
Even though many students viewed Glen's as a once- a-year shopping locale, Stiteler and his employees worked year-round to provide patrons with great selections.
When asked what could possibly follow-up the bustle of Halloween, Stiteler smiled. "We received the first ship- ment of Santa Glaus suits today." ■

The Peer Mentor Program of the Counseling and tudent Development Center, the Black Student Alliance d the Center for Multicultural/International Student ervices sponsored a celebration of Kwanzaa. The traditional stival, in its 10'*' year of celebration on campus, was a way r African-Americans to honor their culture and heritage, t's a time in which people of the community come together give thanks," said junior Chris Jones, vice president of SA and the master of ceremonies. "Celebrating Kwanzaa emonstrates pride in our African heritage."
The celebration featured guest speaker Amiri Baraka, a 'ell-known African-American litetary figure. Events included "Karuma," the traditional feast of Kwanzaa, and the lighting f the "Mshumaa Saba," a candelabra, representing the :ven principles of the holiday.
Later in the month, students, faculty and community embers gathered on the Quad and sang Christmas carols luring the annual tree lighting ceremony. The festivities b^^n ith the Holiday Fest and Christmas Vespers in Wilson Hall ditorium where the JMU Chorale, Symphony Orchestra id Brass Ensemble performed a variety of Christmas favorites.

The celeha^^then moved to the steps of Wilson Hall where the.flCn|^iporary Gospel Singers and the Brass Ensemble nteoBmed hundreds of audience members as complimentary rchocolate was served. Dr. Mark Warner, the vice president of academic affairs, had the honor of lighting the tree.
The ceremony was a tradition for many students in- cluding roommates Andrea Illmensee, Jennae Walton, Becca Liptrap and Sarah Kipperman, all seniors. They had attended the ceremony together each year since they were freshmen. "It's a special holiday," said Illmensee. "And since we can't be with our home families, we're here with our school family."
Another holiday celebrated was Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. "There aren't many Jews here at JMU," said sophomore Tammy Berkovich, a member of the Hillel Counselorship. "It's imponant for us to celebrate together." Hillel members gathered, lit the Menorah, sang traditional Hanukkah songs, played dreidel, exchanged gifts and pre- pared some traditional Hanukkah foods. "We made potato latkes," said Berkovich. "It's a dish prepared by frying potatoes in oil and has to do with the ancient Jewish story of the lamp oil that lasted for eight days."
Whether lighting the Mshumaa Saba, a Christmas tree or a Menorah, students learned that celebrating the holidays with their peers was just as important as celebrating at home with their families. ■

Students get the chance to learn with an award-winning poet
A published poet, English professor Dr. Laurie Kutchins teaches both creative workshop classes and literature courses. Kutchins enjoyed sharing her craft with students on campus: 'The students at JMU are wonderful," said Kutchins. "Students here are willing to take risks in the classroom even if it means failing or perhaps not succeeding completely." ■ Photo by Kirstin field
'I'm not always
the teacher. I learn
from them too."
» Dr. Laurie Kutchins
Many students would have enjoyed talking to Walt Whitman, taking tea with Emily Dickinson or having a beer with Allen Ginsberg. A small number of students had the opportunity to not only speak with the author of a published poem but to learn from her in a classroom setting.
Dr. Laurie Kutchins won a number of awards for her poetry, including the 1 997 Isabella Gardner Poetry Award for the "The Night Path." The award was given twice a year to, "a poet in mid-career whose manuscript is of exceptional merit." Isabella Gardner, poet, actress, editor, was responsible for the success of many other young poets by helping them find publication during her lifetime.
Kutchins readily admitted that she was not a scholar. In fact, class discussions on poems did not involve heavy analysis or in-depth readings. She focused on feelings, nature and how a poem or specific line spoke to the reader on an individual level.
Born and raised in Casper, Wyo., Kutchins had been writing poetry since grade school but it wasn't until junior high and high school that she began to use poetry as a means to express herself "I felt a need to say things through poems," she said. Kutchins cited three writers in particular that were her creative influences while growing up. She loved everything by Dostoyevsky, including her favorite, "Crime and Punish- ment," and the works of Herman Hesse also rated highly among her top picks of literature. Robert Frost, a prominent American poet of the modern era, was a major influence on her early work as a poet also.
Kutchins loved Frost's writing on the natural world, especially "his images of nature and the way he said something without really saying it," Kutchins said.
Kutchins attended Carlton College, a small school in Minnesota. "I always liked to write poetry but I didn't plan on it . . . college was an exploratory time for me," said Kutchins.

In fact, her first recognition as a poet came when she was 20 years old. A professor encouraged her to submit some work to a literary magazine enrided "Handbook" and she later leamed that her work was immediately accepted by editors for publication.
After receiving her imdergraduate degree, Kutchins held a number of jobs. She worked for a newspaper and for the state arts council in Minnesota. Kutchins enrolled in graduate school at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst after a nearly six-year hiatus from school. She earned a master's of fine arts in poetry and fiirther established her career in poetry.
Kutchins' poetry was highly emotional and honest. Her second work, "The Night Path," was not only award-winning, but praised by two other famous female poets.
Maxine Kimiin, a poet who became well known during the '60s along with the infamous Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, wrote, "A new vista [exists] in the poems Laurie Kutchins writes about pregnancy and birth. They are concrete and lyrical, factual and wildly speculative."
Kutchins herself was very open about her inspirations for "The Night Path." In addition to its themes of nature and motherhood, the collection was also based on the human experience of change. Kutchins described it as, "a oneness or a connection with something beyond the self."
"I explore what is intelligence ... it is more than an aa of the mind, it is an intelligence of senses, spirit, body," said Kutchins candidly. With poem tides like, "Birthdream," "My Father's Tumor," "Portrait of an Unfinished Self-Portrait," and "Think," it was easy to see that Kutchins was inviting the reader into her inner world. One might think that a published, award-winning poet would be most proud of her career and life work but Kutchins had a unique perspective on pride.
She clearly struggled with stating directly that of which she was proud. "I have a hard time claiming things that I'm

proud of . . . I'm proud ot believing in integrity in a world that doesn't, integrity as a writer and as a teacher and in maintaining a compassion for others, empathy and a sense of wholeness, " said Kutchins. She believed that often people in positions of power have a corresponding loss of integrity.
Kutchins first came to JMU in 1993, teaching survey and poetry workshop classes. She left to teach at the Uni- versity of Mexico in Albuquerque during a two-year leave.
"The students at JMU are wonderful," said Kutchins. "Students here are willing to take risks in the classroom even if it means failing or perhaps not succeeding completely." The classroom, according to Kutchins, was a place of contained
creative energy and she noted that in the literature classes, too, the students "have really good minds."
No matter what type of class she instructed, Kutchins enjoyed her job. "I'm not always the teacher" she said, "1 learn from them too."
Kutchins empathized that aspiring poets must be carefiJ observers and listeners. "No thing is too small to carry the seeds of a poem ... the best poems come out of small particulars," said Kutchins. She encouraged free writing and maintained a relaxed atmosphere where everyone was wel- come to express themselves and, in doing so, Kutchins provided inspiration for future poets. ■

For a university whose architecture, academics and land- scaping varied considerably, one had only to look around on a typical weekday to see an area of campus that was lacking diversity: the student population. Of the more than 13,700 students enrolled, only 1 5 percent came from a multicultural background. This figure saw steady decline in the past five years prompting administrators and students alike to re- evaluate the multicultural draws of the university.
Discrepancies in minority representation were a cul- mination of factors all having a great impact but not all controllable, according to Zebulan Davenport, director of the Center for Multicultural Student Services. Numbers of ethnically diverse people were deciding to attend colleges specific to their race while also choosing to go to institutions offering more financial aid.
Despite these trends, minority students also found a unique attraaion to the university when making their college decision. "JMU offered something different for me. All of my friends chose to stay at home and go to Old Dominion or VCU because they knew people there. They had a strong support system in place," said junior Coleen SantaAna, vice president of the Asian Student Union.
"I think a lot of times when you are in the minority population in a predominantly white institution there are times when students feel unwelcome and not included. We try our best to help provide them student organizations and support systems. However, as numbers grow, we would like to hope it's going to help because it's a constant struggle
-C'P^,
ne was supposed to be the safest place to be, yet some students, both on- and ofip-campus, were forced to reassess their safety precautions. Incidents of "peeping" became an epidemic throughout the university community. Suspects repeatedly entered residence hall bathrooms to spy on women in the shower, while some women on Greek Row and in apartments and houses off campus awoke to find intruders in their bedrooms. Even the library, usuall) a refuge for students seeking quiet and privacy, was the location of an act of indecent exposure.
Students reacted in different ways. Women in Chap- pelear Hall took an aggressive approach. They hoped to drive off potential intruders with a banner reading, "Peep This!"
"Students don't care enough about their safety until something happens to them," said senior Dan Peterson, a

for those students," said Zephia Bryant, assistant director of the Center for Mukicultural Student Services.
As a self-described "typical, middle class white student," Jennifer McNamara, a junior, offered a different view to the diversity discussion. "I can see the school as diverse from my perspective," said McNamara. She took it upon herself to learn from others. "I chose to seek other cultures."
Official enrollment facts and figures echoed the senti- ments of many students who were happy with the academic programs offered, but telt as though the university did not reflect the real world.
"JMU is diverse to a certain extent but it's not as diverse as it could be," said Bryant. "Of course we have several different populations represented on our campus in small numbers but not many of our students are going to be exposed to those particular populations."
While no specific cause could pinpoint the problem, administrators cited a lack of effort in minority recruitment as one probable decrease in minority enrollment. "1 don't think we've done enough to recruit some of those minority popu- lations. And for whatever reason there are studies being done to determine why we are not getting those numbers and those other populations on our campus," said Bryant.
The Center for Multicultural Student Services expressed the goal of making the university more representative of the overall minority population of the state. CMSS looked at the percentage of students at JMU in the different ethnic groups and compared it to the specific Virginia breakdown of people
according to ethnic group. Their findings showed that at JMU the African-American population was 5 percent while the state of Virginia was 19.8 percent.
According to Davenport, the benefits of a multicultural environment not only helped minorities but allowed everyone to learn how to interact and work with people who were different. "Diversity not only helps educate the current population going through this microcosm of a real world, but it also helps people in terms of being employable. When they get out in the work force, employers want to know that college students have had experience working with different types of people," he said.
"Students need to understand that diversity in a college setting isn't just helping out minorities, it helps everybody because you learn more and you learn how to interact and work with people who are different than you," said Davenport.
"It takes effort by people on all sides to come together, if we want to promote the notion of 'All Together One,' we need to embrace others and reach out so that we are together," said Davenport. ■

resident adviser in Shorts Hall. Chappelear residents took a number of steps to ensure they were safe, including hanging cans on their doors so they could hear when it opened.
"It's tough when letting people in the building out of courtesy and to think about or doubt anyone's intentions," said Jennifer Surface, a sophomore who lived in Chappelear.
Senior Monica Bonnett lived off campus and didn't have any personal experiences with peepers but made sure to keep her door locked at all times. "At best, the publicity about the peepers has made us more aware of the dangers lurking in the shadows and the need to be safe, even in a small, safe town like Harrisonburg."
Senior Jenn Sacra lived on Mason Street, where intru- ders had allegedly frequented houses the past few years. "I felt violated when I thought a stalker was outside at six o'clock
in the morning," said Sacra, whose housemate heard someone attempting to open the door around the same time.
While the peeping incidents more directly affected women, men also had strong opinions about the issue. "The men must be deranged ... a twisted mind, maybe driven by lust to an act of desperation, " said sophomore Mark Savage.
Rob Downs, who lived in Chappelear Hall, witnessed firsthand the effect the peepers have had on his residence hall. "These few people are making the rest of campus feel insecure about living our everyday lives and I don't think it's fair," said Downs, an ISAT major.
While the peeping incidents were investigated, students made sure to be careful. Campus officials considered the installation of additional locks and entrance devices but awareness appeared to be the most effective precaution. ■

As part of the university's new image cam- paign aligning the goals of James Madison, the man, with James Madison, the uni- versity, decorative banners were placed along the Quad and in front of Wilson Hall. Most students and faculty appreciated these implementations of the new marketing strategy. ■ Photo by Laura Creecy

The 1 999-2000 academic year saw the creation of a new universiry marketing effon and for the first time in 10 years, a makeover of the university's mission statement, however, the administration allowed litde-to-no smdent input in either.
In September, President Linwood Rose's inaugural address introduced, "All Together One." He began, "I hope, that this occasion will provide an opportunity to open our eyes, our minds and our spirits to our fiiture possibilities. "
At the reception, the university distributed plastic cups and T-shirts with the trademarked phrase, and publicized a web site set up to "spread the spirit of 'All Together One." Yet aside from those limited eflForts, the imiversity did little to explain what the phrase meant or to gather student input.
By February, few students even knew about the phrase, or what it meant. "I've seen it in The Breeze, but I don't know what it refers to, " said junior Meghan Smith about "All Together One. " Junior Dana Stokes was more like most students who had never heard the phrase.
The revision of the university mission statement came about in a similar fashion. Early in November, 1 8 faculty, administrators and one student met to discuss the new mission statement. The draft read: "We are committed to preparing students to be enlightened and educated citizens
who will lead productive and meaningfiil lives in an inter- dependent world. As a public university, James Madison University is innovative, responsive and accountable."
From the beginning, the draft sparked heated argimients. Much of the dispute was over the institutional character- istics: a learning culture of academic excellence; a residential, comprehensive and student-centered environment; a con- nected and diverse campus community; recruiting and re- taining outstanding, involved smdents who are preparing for the future; recruiting and retaining faculty, staff and admin- istrators who are leaders and mentors.
"It's the process of achieving academic excellence that's not in here, " said David Brakke, dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. "This is a really high quality faculty and I don't think faculty's role comes out enough."
In its first meeting of 2000, the SGA further criticized the statement for its vagueness, failure to distinguish the university fi-om other colleges and their lack of input on the changes. Yet the copy of the statement presented to the SGA differed from the original draft. The statement read: "We are committed to preparing students to be enlightened and educated citizens who will lead productive and meaningfiil lives." No explanation was given as to why the administration

The new General Education program was controversial and confusing to some students. Many felt they had less control over the core courses they had to take and would have preferred the Liberal Studies program. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid
Genera] Education, the controversial replacement for the Liberal Smdies program, was, for many people, a constant source of anger and frustration. The offi- cial definition promised the following: "These courses together challenge students to make connections among disciplines while satisfying all of the learning objectives of each cluster."
Both students and faculty had mixed feelings on the new program. First introduced to the university in fall 1997, the Gen Ed program was voted on by 572 faculty and staff members, 512 of who voted against it. Despite the uneven results, the university chose to install the program. Dr. Linda Cabe Halpern, dean of Gen Ed, said, "Any time a university under-goes a major program change, there are growing pains. Overall, however, I believe James Madison has one of the strongest general education programs in the country for an institution of its size."
Junior Casey Kozilo, an English major, was a member of the first class to experience the Gen Ed program. "It's good for you to get a well-rounded education but some
smffis just ridiculous. It takes up too much time, especially when you're trying to get out in four years." Juniors also faced further difficulty with the "clusters" when they foimd that certain classes appeared to disappear all together after they had counted on taking them. The replacements, like Micro- economics, prove far from enjoyable for an English major.
Students from all academic levels questioned the value of many of the program's required classes.
"I think that some of the classes are good and cover important information, but there is an over-abundance of courses and most are really not necessary. I wish that instead of having the pressure of Gen Ed courses, we could only be concerned with the pressure of choosing a major," said freshman Allison Whitten.
Sophomores in particular, found themselves still ful- filling class requirements while simultaneously keeping their GPAs from plunging in their newly declared major. "Gen Ed courses are harder than classes I'm taking for my major. If I'm not majoring in science then why do I care?" sophomore Jennifer Epler asked.

presented a different draft.
Several members voiced their disagreement with the statement. "It should say something and I'm aftaid this doesn't," said Matt Conrad, senator ot arts and letters.
On Jan. 13, the 29-member University Council, com- posed ot Rose, SGA President Austin Adams, SGA Vice President Heather Herman, university vice presidents, the college and library deans, and faculty and student represen- tatives, met to discuss the draft.
"I think our mission statement should stand on its own," said Adams at the meeting. "This [new] statement doesn't stand on its own, it's too vague. " He also stated that the SGA thought students were not part ot the "we " in the statement.
Rose disagreed. "As president of this institution I am very proud of the mission statement because it totally points to the students."
Despite the SGA's unanimous disapproval, the Uni- versity Council approved the statement and the Board of Visitors unanimously approved it soon thereafter.
The method the university chose to bring about both "All Together One" and the revised mission statement only led to a more fragmented and difficult relationship between students and members of the administration. ■

One sophomore wished he had a similar course load to some of his senior friends. "The program sucks. The clusters are no good and I ended up taking a lot of classes I don't need. I definitely would have preferred Liberal Studies. It makes it seem like you're more in control," said Michael Covington.
Students, it appeared, were bearing the brunt of the university's "growing pains." Many majors required that a certain GPA be achieved and maintained. Students foimd this extremely difficult to do when they were obligated to take Gen Ed courses that proved significantly strenuous.
Some professors had different opinions. Dr. Rex Fuller, SCOM professor and coordinator of Cluster One, felt that, "The general education program was proving to be successful and that the university's core liberal arts curriculimi had been significandy strengthened as a resiJt of General Education."
Faculty and staff at the university appeared to have mixed feelings on the topic. No matter what their opinion, many students and faculty still had a rocky road ahead of them as the university continued to work out the kinks in the General Education program. ■
Whether it was thrmfflW the editorial seaion of The Breeze, talking amongst colleagues or just daily conversation, many students and faculty expressed their discontent with the parking situation on campus during the year.
Many students left their homes 30 minutes to an hour before their class started, only to find a line ot cars waiting to enter a parking lot.
"It was disastrous, really," said junior transfer student Autumn Smiley. "I think that if you pay tor a permit, you should be able to get a parking spot."
The university made an effort to remedy the problem with the concepdon of a new $6.6 million parking garage. However, the price tag left a big hole in the pockets of those willing to shell out money for a parking per- mit. Full-time commuters had to hand over $140 for the privilege of parking in only 14 of the 40 lots available on campus before 4 p.m. Residents paid the same fee, but only had four designated lots to park in before 4 p.m. Seniors were the only group given the option to buy a sticker on a semester basis for $70 per semester. Having their annual salary used as a guideline for the year's permit fees, faculty and staff held the largest burden, paying up to $360 per sticker.
Construction of the new four-level parking garage between Bridgeforth Stadium and Newman Lake broke groimd in March. The appearance of muddy bulldozers and yellow tape left pedestrians inconvenienced and Greek Row residents pulling their pillows over their heads in order to drown out the noise.
Handwritten and hard-to-read parking citauons ceased to exist after parking services introduced a new device used to generate weather-resistant tickets.
The thermal printer, known as Rxl , was first used near the end of December and allowed parking enforcement officials to access the permit database immediately. The Rxl had the ability to alert officials when a vehicle was eligible for towing or a lost or stolen permit had been found. ■

"James Madison University offers a solid mix of liberal ans and pre-professional programs that does credit to the school's illustrious name," proclaimed the 1999 edition of "Barron's Best Buys in College Education. ' In keeping with tradition, the university continued to impress the nation with its academic reputation as students and faculty worked toward an ever-brightening future. Programs, groups and indi- viduals succeeded in an endless variety ot venues.
In the 1998 and 1999 editions of U.S. News and World Report, the university's speech pathology program was ranked 41" among 50 top graduate level programs — the only university in Virginia to make the list. The university's accounting program was also ranked in the top 10 of universities with students who passed the CPA exam on their first tr)'.
Changes were evident all over campus. The CISAT campus continued to structurally grow while the College of Business and the School of Media Arts and Design struggled with overcrowding. The General Education program experienced continued growing pains, while the last students from the Liberal Studies program prepared to graduate.
Individuals also made great strides in the tradition of innovation. Because of students' efforts, the university officially honored Martin Luther King Jr. Day. An ISAT student conduaed important research for Merck, Inc. while still others, faciJty and students alike, gave back to the community building houses, supporting charities and offering their time to help others.
Examples of Dukes' success were plentiful as the university moved forward into the 21" century. ■ by Anna Lucas

evetybody's doing it
With about 4,000 students enrolled in its 18 offered majors, the College of Ans and Letters was the largest and most popular college at the university. With a wide range of course offerings and concentrations, sections of the college stru^ed with the large etuoUment but most smdents found the traditional studies to be intellectually challenging and their degrees promising a successful future. Sometimes the large number of students in a department created problems. English majors accounted for the highest number of students, with 571, but Keezell Hall did not compare to the frustration found in Anthony-Seeger Hall. Due to the School of Media Arts and Design's overwhelming number of applicants, a new program, tided pre-SMAD, was devised with the intended purpose of narrowing the number of students by establishing requirements and restrictions. "1 think that SMAD will be an intriguing major to pursue if 1 ever get past the admissions process, " said sophomore Tim Cavenaugh.
There were many students who were more than satisfied with the school they selected. "People complain about the Music Building, but I think it is the best building because I get to do what 1 love to do, all day, every day," junior music major Michelle McDaniel said.
Senior SCOM major Dave Malter was also pleased with his college. "SCOM, in my opinion, is the best major on this campus. It has prepared me above and beyond what I ever expected. It also has the best group of students and faculty I could ever ask for, " said Malter.
Art and political science majors were two of the more popular majors in the College of Arts and Letters. With 430 art majors, it would seem difficult to accommodate everyone's needs, but most students seemed satisfied. Junior Jon Cheski said, "The teachers challenge us, but at the same time give us the freedom we need to be creative."
Totaling 332 students, political science majors felt ready for their futiu'es. Senior Matt Indrisano said, "My major thus far has prepared me with a good basis to go on to law school." ■
Maury and Jackson Halls were the first buildings completed on campus
Before D-Hall, students ate in a dining room in Harrison Hall
There is a boulder in the basement of Keezell Hall. Rather than removing it,
they built around It
Jackson Hall was built in 1 909 and was originally called "Dorm #1 ." It wasn't
given its present name until 1918
Anthony-Seeger Hall was built not only to educate the children of Harrisonburg
as well as future teachers, but also to promote child bearing in college students
Keezell Hall used to have a pool in the basement with room G-8 as its deep end
When he was president of the university, chancellor Dr. Ronald Carrier and
his family used to live in Hillcrest House and invited each incoming student

"Teaching; chorus is the next step for me to take; it's some- thing that I'm interested in and have wanted to do." » senior Jason Snow
At a university ot almost 13,000 students, one voice stood out from the rest ... literally.
Senior Jason Snow, a music education major with a vocal concentration, spent the past four years developing a reputation as having one of the school's most out- standing voices. As a member ot Kappa Kappa Psi, a national band fraternity, since his freshman year. Snow has served as vice president of service for rwo years. His responsibilities included setting up and coordinating Service events, setting up equip- ment for the Marching Royal Dukes, organizing the music library and heading the service committee. His committee panicipated in the adopt-a-highway and campus adopt-a-flowerbed programs, as well as selling daffodils in the spring to support the American Cancer Society.
Yet it was his involvement in The Madison Project that led him to campus-wide fame. Snow followed in the footsteps of his brother, J.R. ('98), who was one of the group's founding fatliers. Serving as music direaor, Jason conduced rehearsals and worked closely with Adam Klein and business manager Mike Hadary to set up events and equip- ment for the group which practiced approximately five hours a week. The group performed about 20 to 30 times per semester at charities, clubs, campus events, high schools, colleges and for alumni. The charities to which they made contributions included Camp Heartland, the Women's Breast Cancer Foundation, Make-a-Wish Foundation® and Take Back the Night.
Snow's extensive background in the university's music scene began when he was section leader for the saxophone section in the Marching Royal Dukes for two years. After playing sax since the third grade and throughout high school. Snow became interested in singing when he entered college. After his sophomore year, he joined the Madison Singers, a select choir of about 27 students, which performed on campus and at local churches. Snow was also a member of the JMU Chorale, a select chorus comprised of about 100 singers. Fulfilling his student-teaching requirement. Snow taught chorus at Spotswood High School for six weeks in the spring in order to learn more about his possible career choice as a chorus teacher. "Basically, teaching chorus is the next step for me to take; it's something that I'm interested in and have wanted to do," said Snow.
Ensuring that his name would be remembered for at least three years after he graduated. Snow served as an Orientation Program Assistant where he assisted fresh- men as they adjusted to their first year in college. "I enjoyed being seen as a leader by the upcoming fi-eshmen and it gave me a chance to talk about some of the opportu- nities JMU offers, " he said. Snow, himself, not only took advantage of the oppor- tunities the school offered, but he created new opportunities for talented students to follow in the future. ■
Amused by all the attention, senior Jason Snow tries to escape the grasp of his adoring fans, members of Note-oriety. Due to his involvement with The IVladison Project and Kappa Kappa Psi, Snow was well- known around campus. ■ Photo by Carlton Wolfe

"I'm being
immortalized
... I'm not
sure why."
» Dr. William
O'Meara
Dr. William O'Meara's was a name known throughout campus. Standing well over six feet tall and topped in snow-white curls, he had a memorable presence, both in and out of the classroom. But at more than a glance, O'Meara was an able, enthusiastic and caring educator who was well-loved by his students.
O'Meara was a tenured member of the department of philosophy and religion. In addition to upper level philosophy courses taken mosdy by students in the major, he routinely taught Introduction to Philosophy, a 100-level course that fulfilled old Liberal Studies requirements and was part of many students' General Education experiences. He also regidarly taught Existentialism and Introduction to Logic, classes popular amongst smdents of all majors. Outside the classroom, O'Meara led several independent studies and small seminars for philosophy and religion majors and was responsible for coordinating student internships within the department.
Regardless of the subject matter he was teaching, O'Meara's soft-spoken yet emotive demeanor endeared him to students. "I'm being immortalized ... I'm not sure why," was the only explanation he gave to his class as he glanced shyly at our photographer. He felt that philosophy was not simply a discipline to be learned but an activity to be practiced in everyday life. O'Meara and the philosopher Socrates agreed: "The unexamined life is not worth living," so he made every class one in which students actively participated and examined their own lives alongside course material. When he asked his smdents to share, O'Meara was equally willing to share his own life experiences with his students.
Students remembered O'Meara because his interest in his students didn't end when class did. It was not rare to see a line of smdents waiting outside his door, long after office hours had ended. Bill O'Meara made time for every one. ■

"Through knowledge we
become wise and learn to
understand one another."
» senior Chris Jones
"The single most important issue to me at JMU is the establishment of cultural and gender harmony," said senior sociology major Chris Jones. "In order to achieve this, we as students, faculty, staff and administrators must learn from and befriend one another. Through knowledge we become wise and leafn to understand one another."
Evident through his involvement in a variety of activities, including the Black Smdent Alliance, Brothers Of a New Direction and the NAACP, Jones was committed to working toward positive racial relations on campus.
In September, he took his commitment a step further by organizing a silent protest during Dr. Linwood Rose's presidential inauguration to voice a variety of grievances he and others had with the administration's policies and procedures. The main issue at hand was the administration's refusal to declare Martin Luther King Jr. Day a university holiday. Despite repeated efforts, the university had told students for two years that it could not just decide to add a new holiday to the university calendar. Some students felt betrayed when the university approved a holiday for the presidential inauguration ceremony. Other concerns included the lack of financial aid packages for students, the number of minority students and faculty and limited funding for minority programming and staff.
"I felt an obligation to do 'the right thing,'" said Jones. "We chose to protest during the ceremony . . . because we wanted all those affiliated with the university to know our issues."
Over 65 students from university organizations joined Jones in a silent march around the Quad, commended by observers for its respectful nature. The protesters displayed signs with messages such as: "To MLK you say NO WAY, but for Dr. Rose you have your day" and "Diversity is not a catch phrase."
"The protest organized itself," said Jones. "Everywhere I went students wanted to observe MLK Day as a holiday and felt betrayed that the inauguration was a holiday. We wanted to make a statement, and students wanted justice."
On Oct. 28, Jones and the other protesters were finally heard as the University Council voted unanimously to cancel all classes annually on Martin Luther King Jr. Day beginning January 200 1 . "In my opinion, embarrassment made the admini- stration approve MLK Day as a holiday, said Jones. "The protest simply exposed the administration's hypocritical ways." ■

"When people hold an Oscar statue in their hands, you can tell they're practicing acceptance speech in their head," said Dr. Tom Arthur, who up until a few years ago displayed Melvin Douglas' Academy Award in his house. As the aaor's literary executor, Arthur wrote Douglas' biography and kept some of his belongings in safe-keeping.
Douglas acted from the 1930s through the early '80s. Up until his death, he was a close friend to Arthur and his wife. "We were very good friends. He was a highly intelligent man and one of the first political actors," said Arthur, who added that Douglas first ran Franklin Roosevelt's political campaign in 1 940.
However, friendships with famous people were nothing new to Arthur. He grew up in a suburb of Chicago in what he described as an "artsy" environment. His uncle's brother, Alfred Henry Maurer, was considered America's first abstract artist. Arthur's aunt, Emily Harm, was a well-known writer. She vwote for The New Yorker, published over 60 books and had served time in a Japanese prison camp. Most recently, one of Arthur's youngest cousins, Amanda Boxer, played the role of the mother in the film "Saving Private Ryan."
Growing up in such a creative environment, Arthur couldn't help turning to the arts as a career. He studied at Northwestern University and spent some time in advertising but realized acting was his true calling. Arthur loved the art of acting, especially teaching and studying it. He wrote numerous articles and criticisms and direaed various productions, including one of his iavorites, Shakespeare's "King Lear."
Arthur first taught at Illinois State where he just happened to have members of the band Steppenwolf as students. Visiting Sweet Briar College while he performed in Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie," Arthur was determined to find a posi- tion in the Shenandoah area.
Arriving at the university with his family in 1973, Arthur loved the change in environment from his home area of Chicago. "I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. This place had seasons, and the temperature went up to the 60s most weeks," said Arthur. Arthur loved teaching and especially enjoyed working under the "free-wheeling" Dr. Ronald Carrier while he was president.
During his time in Harrisonburg, Arthur continued to keep his contacts with well-known figures. One year he went to Africa and became acquainted with one of South Africa's greatest writers, Athol Fugard.
Teaching acting, however, remained his greatest passion. "I tend to admire aaors who are technically gifted," said Arthur who listed Gary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and Meryl Streep as examples. At the university, Arthur has enjoyed working with students equally passionate about acting. ■

As seniors in high school, Julie Martinez and Julie Weiss decided to live together their first year of college when they realized they would both be attending the same school. Like most freshmen, the two women soon found they weren't as compatible as they initially thought. Unlike most freshmen, however, Martinez and Weiss not only shared a campus and a room, they shared lives on two collegiate athletic teams.
Martinez and Weiss entered college knov^dng that they wanted to play two sports: field hockey and lacrosse. They each had found success in both sports all tour years of high school. Weiss began playing field hockey in middle school because she wanted to participate in a sport. Martinez chose to play field hockey at the recommendation of her older brother.
Top-level field hockey and lacrosse programs at Princeton University and the University of Maryland recruited both women, but they decided to go to JMU because they loved the atmosphere and the fact that the coaching staff was willing to accommodate their decisions to be committed to both sports.
Prior to coming to college, the two Pennsylvania natives knew each other through Futures, an All-Star field hockey league. As a result of having so much in common, they decided to live together their freshman year. With Martinez being the light- hearted, messy roommate and Weiss, the focused, neat one, conflicts arose. Yet despite their different personalities, the women continued to live together, although in separate rooms, for the next three years.
"It was exciting for me to come to a place where I felt really comfortable and to have two coaches who understood that you want to work hard and be committed to two sports," said Weiss.
Both women decided to continue playing both sports in college simply because they never were able to choose a favorite. "Field hockey is very disciplined, and lacrosse is very free spirited. I think that each spon brings out the two different sides of me," said Martinez. Weiss felt that competing in both sports gave her a balance that would prevent her from getting burned out in one or the other, {continued on p. 224) »

(continued from p. 223) » Both women accumulated many accomplishments during their college years. Weiss was voted to the CFHCA National Academic Squad in 1998 and was a starter on attack for the NCAA tournament quarter- finalist lacrosse team in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Also in 1998, Weiss was named to the U.S. Developmental Lacrosse team. Martinez's field hockey accomplish- ments included 1996 CAA Rookie of the Year and All-America third team and All-CAA first team in 1997. In lacrosse she was All- America second team and All-South first team in 1998. In 1999 she made the College Lacrosse USA preseason All-America second team.
Both agreed that the only difference between playing one sport and playing two is that they traveled more than other athletes. They said athletes who played one sport put in as many hours during the ofF-season. However, missing out on pre- and post-season conditioning didn't make the women's training for either sport any less strenuous.
They returned to the university at the beginning of August, four weeks before most students, to begin conditioning for field hockey. The field hockey season lasted through mid-November, after which the two trained on their own for lacrosse until winter break. After break, they returned to school and began training with the team for the spring season. The lacrosse season lasted through May and following the final game, they began focusing once again on field hockey, spending summers working at camps or playing in pick-up games. Despite the hard work that went into focusing on two sports, they considered themselves lucky that they didn't have to go through the strenuous year-round conditioning sessions that their teammates had to endure, but instead could spend that time playing another sport they loved.
Both Martinez and Weiss agreed that the friendships they gained through playing field hockey and lacrosse were incomparable to any of their other accom- plishments and was what they enjoyed most about being involved in the sports.
Despite the sacrifices that came with playing multiple sports, such as going to parties or missing a class to sleep in, both believed that the positives outweighed the negatives. Martinez felt that through sports she learned many life lessons and grew as a person throughout her college career. Weiss agreed with Martinez's belief, saying there are many life lessons to be learned through sports, such as leadership, dealing with adversity and working as a team.
"When you play a sport, you don't realize that you really are preparing yourself for so much more," said Weiss.
In their four years at the university, the two women contributed gready to both teams through their natural leadership and competitiveness. Martinez felt that her enthusiasm was her greatest asset and contribution to both teams.
"I think that my enthusiasm is catching because when I come into field hockey, they haven't seen that in months, and then I go back to lacrosse and it's refreshing to them," explained Martinez. "I'll do anything to put a smile on someone's face."
Weiss felt that her positive attitude was her strongest asset. She described it as focused and disciplined.
Their coaches agreed that the women contributed a great deal to both teams in four years, specifically through their positive influence over the team.
"Both of these women are natural athletes and work hard on staying on top their games and their academics," said field hockey coach Christy Morgan. "It takes a special person to excel at two sports at this level, and both of these players work hard to be the best they can be." ■

The lights dimmed. The last person had slipped in through the auditorium door, and the audience waited in the dark. Throats were cleared and programs rusded as a hush fell over the crowd. A lone figure appeared on the stage in Anthony-Seeger Hall auditorium. Another senior recital was about to begin.
All seniors in the music program were required to perform a senior recital as the culmination of their university music career. Depending on their course of study, musicians prepared for half-hour or full-hour recitals. Performance majors were required to play or sing for an hour and were graded afterwards. Music education majors, however, only needed a half-hour recital to meet the requirement. Some still chose to do a Rill hour.
"Someone told me your senior recital is the second bluest day next to your wedding," said senior voice major Daniel Hoy. "You think about it everyday for three-and-a-half years and watch your friends do theirs."
Hoy performed in the fall because he planned on smdent teaching in the spring. Although he had accompanists with him. Hoy was the center of attention for an entire hour. Singing the beginning of a Johannes Sebastian Bach piece
and several other songs in different languages, including French and German, Hoy had spent his entire college career preparing for that hour in one way or another. Hoy practiced specifically for his recital about an hour a day but also exercised his voice as both a member of the University Chorale and the Madison Singers in the semesters prior to his recital. Hoy said the recital was more like a stepping stone to later performances because, "If I messed up, I'd still graduate." Performing, he added, helped him to appreciate the singing of contemporary performers like Dave Matthews and Sarah McLachlan.
"Usually you're in an ensemble, but it's very gratifying and humbling to play by yourself," said Hoy. "It's all you, all the pressure is on you, but it's the best feeling in the world when it's over." (continued on p. 228) »

(continued from p. 227) » During college, every music major, no matter what their instrument, had to undergo a series of juries, or practice performances, before a panel of judges. Juries were the equivalent of final exams in other classes. Music industry major Mike Shaw played classical guitar at the university. "It's good to prepare by performing a lot. The more you perform, the more comfortable you are with the music," said Shaw, who underwent a series of mini-performances before his recital in February. Shaw also played in a guitar ensemble that held its own separate recitals.
Shaw's goals for his recital were relatively simple. "I would like to convey how much time I've put in preparing, but also pay proper respect to the piece and its composer with a good interpretation," said Shaw. Shaw played viola for five years before the guitar became his main instrument. The guitar, he felt, was capable of more texture because it was more complex than the viola.
"Performing in a formal setting is a lot different than with a group, in a relaxed situation," said Shaw. He related a story about one of his first performances when he played the violin as a child. At age five, he repeated the song he had to play over and over again because he was so nervous. Shaw gave true meaning to the name of his Suzuki piece, "Perpetual Motion."
For some people, however, performing solo was not a nerve- wrracking experience. French horn player Wendy Peterson felt she owed it to her audience not to be nervous during the recital. "The audience doesn't want to hear a nervous performer, they want to hear a confident musician." Peterson's preparation entailed many rehearsals and coordinating music with her accompanists: a flutist, a pianist and three other horns who joined her during certain pieces. Deciding what to play and the order in which to play them in were also important steps in the process. Hoy, Shaw and Peterson all carefully seleaed their pieces under the guidance of their instruaors.
"It's a good experience in rehearsal technique," said Peterson. "You practice self-discipline and organization." Like Hoy and Shaw, Peterson had other activities she was involved in throughout her years at the university. Peterson played horn in the marching band, wind symphony, chamber orchestra, brass ensemble, horn choir and Orfif Kodally ensemble, a group that worked with elementary school music programs.
Whether or not a senior recital could rival a wedding day in importance, the independent performance was the ultimate goal in a music major's imiversity career. According to Hoy, after getting up before a crowd of people focused entirely on your music, giving a speech in class or talking in public was cenainly less intimidating. When it was over, a music major was ready to take on the world. ■

cruising for credit
^^
Like many students, senior Chris Lannan headed south for spring break 1999, taking a three-day cruise to the Bahamas. Unlike most students, however, Lannan earned class credit for his trip.
As pan of a one-block hospitality and toiuism course, Lannan, along with two instructors and 25 other students, went on a three- day cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. The group met with an entertainment direaor from Carnival Cruise Lines and received the inside scoop about working onboard a cruise ship.
"Before hand, I was considering a career in the cruise industr)'," said Lannan. "Afterwards, my opinion changed after learning that Id have to work nine months out of the year without a day off. '
When they weren't learning the ins and outs of the industn,', the class was touring downtown Nassau, eadng four-course meals, experi- menting with a varien- of water sports and ftdfiUing their late night munchies at a 24-hour pizzeria. Not a bad way to spend spring break ■

» Dr. Scott
Whittier
Imagine being 16 again, hanging out in the courtyard of your high school with some friends talking about the weekend when one of your classmates walks in with two semi-automatic weapons and starts shooting at everyone in his path. Not too long ago, kids brought water guns or fake knives to school, but times have changed. School violence became a serious issue in our nation and someone or something must be to blame. Children are supposed to be innocent and incapable of killing, but incidents of violence have increased. Society has been looking for something to blame for the fact that children have become so desensitized to killing and video games were at the heart of the controversy.
Three classes in the College of Business presented a series of mock trials based on a real-life school shooting in which parents of two school shooting victims sued both a video rental store and video game manufacturer for negligence and product liability. The mock trial was organized by assistant professor of business law Dr. Scott Whittier, who said, "I can teach the law and try to tell my students that it is very complicated with many shades of gray, but hopefully the trials taught students the law better than I could ever explain it."
The mock trials Whittiet organized were based on the real-life case of James vs. Meow Media in Paducah, Ky., in which a 14-year-old boy opened fire outside his high school, killing three girls and injuring many others. The parents of the three girls filed a lawsuit against the manufacturers of the video games that the 14-year- old frequently played.
The mock trials were centered around the real-life case but consisted of fictional information. Baines vs. Rewind Video and Chaos Entertainment was the name of the case, in which an awkward 16-year-old boy named Franklin Pierce opened fire on his classmates. Pierce had few friends at school and was frequently picked on because of his appearance and intelligence. It was found that Pierce was an avid player of violent video games made by Chaos Entertainment, which an older friend rented for him from Rewind Video against company policy. Many felt that the video games influenced him to kill. The fictional victims, Teddy Barnes and the parents of deceased Ricky Kyler, sued Chaos Entertainment, (continued on p. 234) »

(continued from p. 233) » the video manufacturer, and Rewind Video, the franchise that rented the videos, based on neghgence and product Uabilit)'. Pierce injured Barnes and fatally shot Kyler.
Whittier wanted his students to understand how the legal process worked through a "hands-on experience." Whittier searched for a simple case that was "innovative enough that it would allow students to contribute something to law. The case has not gone to coun yet and I hoped that the lav^yers involved in the actual case would be inter- ested in how the students approached the case and what the juries decided."
Whittier chose to base the trials on the James vs. Meow Media case because it was the first case in which someone alleged that a video game caused someone to commit a violent crime. Although Whittier based the mock trials on an actual case, he spent most of his summer researching and writing the facts of the mock trials himself Whittier handed-out packets of information when he first introduced the project to his students. The packets included watness statements, a police report, a psycho- logical evaluation, company documents, hospital records, school grade reports and legal documents. "I researched many school shootings so that I could create a realistic shooter and shooting incident. I loosely based the corporate documents on documents I have seen in my legal career."
Over 250 business law smdents participated in the mock trials and were assigned to either the plaintiffs case or one of the defendants' cases. The students acted as either the lawyers or witnesses for their side, including expert witnesses. The plaintiffs' law)'ers were responsible for proving that video game violence influenced Pierce to commit the crime. The plaintiffs' lawyers also introduced an expert witness who believed that Pierce was influenced by the violent video games he frequently played.
As for the defendants, the lawyers of Chaos Entertainment argued that they could not be held liable for Pierce's actions because the video games had ratings that restricted the sale or rental of violent video games to certain audiences. Chaos also argued that they could not police every store that sold or rented their video games in order to make sure that their video games did not fall into the wrong hands. Chaos' lawyers also intrr^duced an expert witness who testified that there was no conclusive evidence that violent video games influenced violent behavior in children.
The lawyers for Rewind Entertainment argued that their company could not be held liable for the actions of one employee in one of their franchises and thus could not be found negligent.
The "courtrooms ' were set up in classrooms in the CISAT/Computer Science Building and jurors consisted of volimteer students from Spotswood High School, college students from Eastern Mennonite University and Bridgewater College, and Harrisonbuig residents. The judges were either professors with law degrees or local lawyers. The trials were held from Nov. 15-18 and each trial lasted about rwo-and-half hours.
Each case consisted of three different counts against each defendant. All counts pertained to the defendants being negligent or liable for their product. Of the 17 trials held, the plaintiffs prevailed on at least one count in five of the trials. The juries found in favor of the plaintiffs in five different trials on coimts against Rewind Video for negligence. ■

"Both in and out of the class- room, I see my relationships [with students] being one of advice and consultation. There are several students I see who just come by to chat and get my perspec- tive ... I like that." » Dr. Joyce Guthrie
HRIE
"I am an admitted workaholic," said Dr. Joyce Guthrie, associate dean for student services in the College of Business.
Since arriving at the university in 1991, Guthrie had flexed her muscles with the goal of helping stu- dents. As the director of the College of Business Student Development Center, Guthrie had the chance to do just that.
As associate dean, Guthrie was responsible for the development and implementation of academii policies for the CoUege of Business. She also providci! academic advising services for business majors and minors, students considering a major in business, and students considering applying to the university.
The Student Development Center was "a centralized point of contact for College of Business students with questions about requirements for their majors and/or minors, registration and other procedures in the university, as well as information regarding who to see on campus regarding academic related issues," said Guthrie. "From this standpoint, we benefit students by being their initial if not single point of contact for information."
In this role, Guthrie had the chance to form close relationships with the students she helped. "Both in and out of the classroom, I see my relationship [with students] being one of advice and consultation, and at times to be a sounding board for a stu- dent who is struggling to make a decision, about school, work, personal, etc. There are several students I see who just come by to chat and get my perspective on a matter they are dealing with. 1 like that."
Guthrie also served as the adviser to Delta Sigma Pi, a professional business fraternity, and as the college liaison to the College of Business Student Advisory Council, "a conduit for the flow of information and communication between the college and the CoB student body."
And Guthrie's efforts to help students were not overlooked by the university. Most notably, among her many awards, in 1994, she was honored for her work through the Distinguished Female Collegiate Education Award, and three years later, she received both the JMU Outstanding Faculty Adviser Award and the College of Business Outstanding Service Award.
Yet Guthrie's efforts weren't limited to the role of adviser. As a faculty member of the marketing program, she also taught one class a semester. "I hope that in the classroom, my applications approach to instruction helps students understand the concepts and theories of the textbook in real world context," she said.
But most of all, Guthrie was determined to see all of her students and advisees succeed. "The part of my job that keeps me going is teaching and helping students achieve their acade mic potential and goals. I get more excited than they do when students tell me they got the internship they went after or made the Dean's or President's List." ■

In addition to providing academic advising as associate dean for student services for the College of Business, Guthrie also served as the faculty adviser for Ain, a professional business frater- nity. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid

"I got called
back, which I
couldn't
believe. I love
to sin^ and
act and this
was a great
opportunit\'."
> senior Mike
Minarik
ARIK
"All my life I've been playing it safe," said senior Mike Minarik. "You know, go to college, get the degree. I wanted to take a risk. "
And that he did. In September, Minarik, a member of The Madison Project and the Madisonians, traveled to New York to gain some auditioning experience by competing for a part in a traveling production of "The Mixsic of Andrew Lloyd Webber." Little did he know that the audition would lead to the chance of a lifetime.
After auditioning against about 1 ,000 other hopefuls, the speech communicarions major and business minor landed one of the 12 leads. Yet no one was more surprised b)' his selection than Minarik himself "I heard about [the audition] through a magazine called 'Backstage' where a lot of New York auditions are advenised," he said. "I got called back, which I couldn't believe. I love to sing and act and this was a great opportunit)'."
After dropping all but two of his fall semester classes when those professors assured him he could take comprehensive exams upon his return, Minarik packed up and headed for the Big Apple. There he began rehearsing with the other cast members before their first big performance.
The show included songs from the biggest hits of Lloyd Webber's career, including "The Phantom of the Opera," "Cats," "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat," "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Evita," "Sunset Boulevard" and "Starlight Express." In addition to performing songs with other tour members, Minarik, a baritenor, per- formed the duet, "The Phantom of the Opera," and the solo, "The Music of the Night."
"The people I get to work with are extremely talented," said Minarik Although none of the other singers were well-known, he had the honor of performing under two veteran Broadway directors: Patrick Vaccariello, the musical director of "Cabaret," and Arlene Phillips, director of "Saturday Night Fever."
"I see [the tour] as a tremendous internship," said Minarik. "It's like a finance major getting his foot in the door of Arthur Andersen before he graduates. I have met a lot of influential Broadway people who can become great contacts if I decide to pursue this kind of work. I feel very privileged."
By the end of the tour in May, Minarik had performed in 65 cities and sang for Andrew Lloyd Webber himself.
"I do plan on coming back to school," he said, "but when is the question. I have met a lot of influential people while I was rehearsing in New York, and returning to school right after the tour didn't sound beneficial to them. But my parents have always instilled in me that you should always finish things that you begin, so that's what the plan is. " ■

Believe it or not, but vou can find fashion outside Valley Mall and its Route 33 environs. Students lose valuable money and individuality as they escape to the motif of the brand name which is, for the most part, an inflated, over-designed style and an expensive, appropriated version of the original garment sold years earlier.
Hoping to both revitalize older clothing styles and save their fellowperson some much needed milk money, Bluestone photographer Todd Grogan and Editor in Chief Jeff Morris visited Gift and Thrift and Salvation Army to prove that it's still possible to walk into class with a cheap and sexy pair of pants. »

IEyes squinting and lips puckered, Jeff Morris, Bluestone Editor in Chief, shows his classic thrift store game face. A veteran thrift store shopper, Morris' thirst for old colorful clothes is tempered by his shrewd, no-nonsense business attitude. In other words, Morris gets what he wants. He is holding Grogan's apple.
2 With a final bite of his apple, Bluestone photographer Todd Grogan pauses in front of the Salvation Army, located on South High Street. Salvation Army offered a variety of clothes, furniture, appliances, toys and general knickknacks; many things Morris was about to introduce to the amateur thrift store shopper Grogan.
7 Assured by Morris that yellow com pie mented his eyes, Grogan decides on a yellow V-neck cable sweater. "It's pretty hot — definitely at the cusp of the fashion trend," reminded Morris.
6 Mixed in with costumes, "party clothes" and evening gowns, Morris finds a jewel of a shirt at Gift and Thrift, located on South Main Street. "I'm going to be wearing this one tonight — better believe it," smiled Morris.
4 "Beguiling in Argyle." Grogan dis- covers an old, dependable sweater, a staple of any good thrift store.
5 Morris decides he likes the the sweater too; some- thing about it fitting him better.

While most students were getting ready for bed or preparing for a late night of studying, several students made themselves comfortable in the hallway of Wilson Hall's third floor as the clock chimed midnight on Nov. 29. Pillows and sleeping bags littered the hallway floor as students continued to arrive throughout the night. By 4 a.m., there were over 70 students lining the hall, all awaiting the first-come, first-serve sign-ups for the Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program. Having experienced its most successfiil year in 1999 with 22 trips to locations all over the United States and one to Haiti, the service program was in high demand.
"The program is based on student initiative. Students come to sign-ups and when there is not enough room, they will make their own trip," said program coordinator Kathleen Houser. There was a limit of 25 trips in order to maintain the level of quality that the university had shown in the past.
"I knew it would be a worthwhile experience, so to make a small sacrifice such as getting up at 3:30 a.m. to be able to go to Detroit was easy," explained freshman Sarah MacCarthey.
The common stereotype of spring break included alcohol and beaches but Alter- native Spring Break gave students "a chance to go against stereotypes and try something different for a week," said Houser.
The trips were a week of community service in an alcohol- and drug-free environ- ment. The projects included building houses in Alabama, feeding AIDS patients and the homeless in New York, repairing natural habitats in Florida and working with teenage mothers in Ohio.
All the trips were student led and organized. "I'm leading a aip this year because I want to become more involved at JMU. I want to give people an amazing experience like I had last year in Florida," said junior Jason Young, who decided to lead a trip after having participated in one the previous year.
Each leader attended weekly training sessions starting in Oaober and continuing beyond the spring break trip. At the training sessions, leaders learned about group building, liability issues and cooking for large groups. The leaders even got to go behind the scenes of Gibbons Hall and learn the recipes of JMU Head Chef Steve Mangan
"Cooking with Chef Steve was my iavorite training session. Not only is he a greai chef, but a great guy as well," said senior Megan Lew. The leaders concluded that session with an after hours feast in an empty D-Hall.
Due to the rigorous training and commitment of all involved in ASB, it was nc surprise that the program received the Burruss Award for two consecutive years at thi annual leadership celebration sponsored by Student Organization Services. The award honored contributions from nonrecog-nized organizations that were student led. In addition, JMU's program was recognized by BreakAway, the national organization of alternative breaks, as Program of the Year for 1998.
"I had a wonderful experience leading a trip. I hope I can start volunteering on a regular basis in my daily life," said senior Janine Murphy.
Junior Angela Cabrales agreed. "ASB gave me a chance to learn about myself by helping others. It was an experience I will not forget. " ■

e rat race
while many students were playing with their puppies on the Quad and still others were curling up with cats in the evening, junior Kelly Badger, a psychology major, was enjoying the company of rodents.
"I love animals so I think the rats are cute," said Badger, who worked as a manager at the rat lab in the psychology department. Feeding and weighing the white rats. Badger spent approximately six hours of the week at the lab.
"Working in the lab has changed what I want to do in graduate school," said Badger. She originally wanted to work counseling adult women but began to lean more toward the research aspect of ps)'chology. Under the direction of Dr. Sherry Serdikoff, an assistant had to be in the lab whenever they were "running the rats." Badger, who planned on completing her thesis with Serdikoff, actually enjoyed working with the rodents. As an animal lover. Badger had no complaints about her job in the rat race. ■

Roop Hall
Ever wonder why Roop Hall, home to the School of Education, doesn't exactly match the rest of the Bluestone buildings? Rumor has it that the charcoal-colored, square building wasn't intend- ed to have looked like that. The architect who designed the building got the plans of Roop mixed up with the plans of a building at Virginia Tech. So now we have their building on our campus and they have a Bluestone building on theirs. ■

The bond shared berween siblings is one diat could last a lifetime, especially in the case of senior Julie Clarfield and Brandon Jones. Jones was Clarfield's litde brother, but the two were not related. Clarfield and Jones participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program, which was a part of the Boys and Girls Club of America. This mentor- ing program paired up a caring individual with a child in need.
"I got involved in the program in the beginning of my sophomore year because I was bothered by how much of college life is self-absorbed," commented Clarfield. Jones and Clarfield spent several hours a week together, doing homework or reading together. Jones, a third grader, "is a terrific kid who loves to learn, and really enjoys school, which is strange for his age," said Clarfield. One of the highlights of their relationship was the improvement that Clarfield saw in his reading skills.
On other visits they played board games and sports. Jones, who dreamed of being a football player, thought, "Julie throws really well for a girl." His favorite activity was going to McDonald's where he enjoyed getting a Happy Meal. Their conversation was filled with laughter and jokes as they talked about Jones' day.
Their relationship was not only rewarding for Clarfield but for Jones also. He had been given many opportunities that normally would never cross his path due to his economic situation. Jones lived with his mother, aunt and 10-year-old brother. They were all very sup- portive of the program. Through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program he improved his learning skills and was given a positive role model.
Big Brothers Big Sisters had a lot to offer its participants. There were approximately 1 80 JMU smdents involved in the program and additional students were always wanted. To become a member of the program an individual had to go through several interviews, tests and a comprehensive background check. The program was a two-year commitment.
As a big brother or sister, students were given the opportunity to change a child's life as well as add value to their own. "Being involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters has by far, been the best decision that I have made in college," said Clarfield. ■

"I don't just
want to fill
people with
content they
will lose later.
I want to build
a foundation
of learning
for their
whole lives. "
» Dr. Cheryl
Talley
"I love the brain, " said Dr.Cheryl Talley as she jumped up and down in front of her psychology class. The class, titled Drugs and Behavior, was one of many taught by Talley. A professor who truly enjoyed her job, Talley's enthusiasm for teaching was evident in her motto: "I don't just want to fill people with content they will lose later. I want to build a foundation of learning tor their whole lives. "
Talley's talent for psychology was noticed by the National Science Foundation, which provided her with a grant, a first for a member of the psychology department. The foundation gave her money as a part of a program designed to increase under- graduate awareness in science. Talley had expected to apply multiple times before eventually succeeding but she received the grant on her second attempt. Talley planned to teach a lighter course load while she worked in the lab studying the peripheral nervous system on memory.
Teaching was certainly an appropriate profession for Talley who loved working with children and young people. Talley attended Northwestern University for three years, took a 10-year break, during which she started a family, and then finished her senior year at JMU. She completed her graduate work at the University of Virginia. At one point, Talley realized that her adolescent education had not been sufficient when compared with those of her white peers at Northwestern. Pardy because of her own educational experience, Talley decided to devote her life to teaching. "I really was committed to young people having lives that they love and seeing no limits," she said in an interview with the Daily News Record.
In 1996, she was inspired to found Harrisonburg Young Achievers. The group, which was primarily devoted to helping minorities, in her words, "provides a con- versation for middle school students to think that what they speak and believe is possible. Through conversations, I believe we create what we have." The group held weekly discus- sions where the kids could speak freely about their problems at school or outside of school.
Talley used an approach to teaching known as "Alro-centrism. " A holistic worldview, her teaching placed an emphasis on how everything was connected. The Afro-centric method made sure science was benefiting humanity to the best of its abilities.
No matter what method Talley used to educate her students, her motives were simple. "I am passionate about human beings reaching the capacity to love each other." ■

A small dance studio in the hean of Harrisonburg has attraaed dance majors such as seniors Jessica Pyatt and Stefanie Quinones to teach what they have spent their lives learning and perfecting. Right around the corner from Jess's Quick Lunch, Dance & Company opened its doors in 1987 and has since hired college students as instructors. "The JMU instructors all have a passion to continue dancing. They are extremely responsible ... they know what it takes and what's expected of them," said owner Drew Jones-Hamilton.
Pyatt had been teaching dance for seven years. She worked not only at Dance & Company but also at the Lexington School of Dance. She taught ballet, tap, jazz and modern 10 times a week between the two smdios. "1 love teaching and hope to make a career out of it," Pyatt said. "I strive to increase the student's technical ability, while creating a positive environment. I want them to have fun and enjoy dancing as much as I do. "
A double major in dance and English, Pyatt maintained her skills by taking a minimum of five classes per week. "My experiences within the JMU dance department have taught me that the best teachers are not only the ones who push you to a higher level of dancing, but push you to a new level of under- standing about yourself, your limits and your dedication to the art. "
Her dedication developed in first grade in a grocery store with her mother. "There was a small studio next door to the grocery store, and my mom asked me if 1 would like to sign up for classes. I've been dancing ever since."

Even with her husy schedule, Pyan found time to participate in activities complementing her dance background. She was a member of the Virginia Rep- ertory Dance Company (VRDC), JMU's pre-professional ensemble where she was given opportunities to work with professional choreographers and to be the student co-director of the Associate Dance Ensemble, JMU's freshman performance ensemble. Her choreography skills were also used in Spotswood High School's performance of "The Sound of Music. "
A native of Lynchburg, Quinones also started dancing at a young age. In fourth grade after seeing her friend in a dance recital, Quinones quit play- ing the violin and pursued dance. Quinones followed her aspiration to college. "I came here undeclared, thinking that I didn't want to major in dance, but ... after getting involved and talking to professors about it, I knew that I wanted to major in it."
Quinones' professors impacted her further. "My professors have been an incredible influence, training me and encouraging me to pursue dance as my career." Other people that influenced her included her best friend and roommate. "We've danced together since sixth grade, danced together here at JMU and will continue pursuing our careers together after graduation. She is definitely an inspiration and strength in my life, dancing and not dancing."
Quinones' campus involvement extended outside the dance department in organizations such as Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Marching what opportunities arise.'

Royal Dukes. She also danced in VRDC,
the Contemporary Dance Ensemble and
Dance Theater. Her summers were spent
at the American Dance Festival at Duke
University where she studied under choreographers and teachers as well as
performed many ot their works. All of these experiences added to her skills as
a dancer and more recently an instructor at a professional studio.
Quinones taught dance classes, instructed high school color guards and choreographed high school show choirs. She took on the challenge of teaching modern dance in the fall at Dance & Company. "I got started because other dance majors taught there, and I wanted teaching experience," she said.
For Quinones, modern could be considered a favorite form of dance, yet it was the last style of dance to which she was introduced. "I had never taken modern dance before I came here, and now it is my primary form. It is more expressive, and doesn't have a set vocabulary of movement. Modern encompasses a huge variety of different styles."
In her classes, Quinones wanted her students to discover what they enjoyed about dance. "I want to challenge them and to encourage them to take risks in learning new things." And just as when she entered college, she looked to the future with an open mind. "I want to get out there and see

the real world
Senior computer science major Tara Sodano was the perfect example of how an internship can be a very lucrative and valuable experience.
As a summer intern at Capital One in Richmond, Va., she had the opportunirv' to work in the Information Security Department writh 1 5 other interns. According to Sodano, the department had 14 Microsoft Access databases containing out-of-date information.
"Our responsibility was to redesign a new system using Oracle to consolidate ail of the old databases into one efficient database, " she explained.
The internship wasn't all work and no play. The company frequendy treated its interns to trips to King's Dominion, whitewater rafting, laser tag and Major League Baseball games. Time allotted for training, presentations by speakers in the field and additional technology courses contributed to the overall "real-world " experience.
Perhaps the best part was that Capital One interns received the same salary during their 1 0-week session as a new hire in that department.
Positions within the Information Security Department were not easy to obtain. Applicants had to undergo two rounds of interviews. The first one consisted of three essay questions. Based on the responses, finalists traveled to Richmond for a series of formal interviews, which included completion of a case study and aptitude tests.
Sodano enjoyed her internship so much that she accepted a full time offer to work with their computer networking team. "I don't have any fears that I won't be able to perform right out of school. The internship was really good for my confidence because I got to see what it s really like working in the industr)' and I did just fine, " said Sodano. ■

Blankenship
It was the fall of 1 997 and the aisles of a stuffy Godwin Hail lecture room provided the only space for late arrivals. Three young women from their res- pective sororities stood nervously in the front of the room, each grasping a set of slightly bent 3"x5 " index cards. The next few minutes would determine the Panhellenic Council's president-elea. After undergoing a competitive application process, the women were ready to capture their peers wdth speeches intended to highlight their proposals for the Creek system. It was this moment that senior Britten Blankenship delivered a speech that changed the course of her college career.
Blankenship applied for the position of president-tlect of the Panhellenic Council as a sophomore. By this time, she had already immersed herself in commimity service and social awareness groups, taught aerobics at UREC, joined a sorority and parti- cipated in an Alternative Spring Break trip. It took some coaxing from the coordinator of aerobics and wellness, BGrsten Ryan ('94,'96/M. Ed.), to convince her that another commitment was possible. Ryan spoke from previous experience, considering that she had been an active member on Panhellenic's executive board while simultaneously teaching aerobics as an undergraduate. "In the beginning, I found it difficult to balance my time between my new position on Panhellenic and teaching aerobics. Aerobics took a back seat for a while, " said Blankenship.
As president-elect, Blankenship spent one year shadowing the current president in order to develop essential skills needed to fulfill the position the following year.
During her term, Blankenship had the opportimity to attend several conventions across the United States. In the fall she traveled to Indianapolis for the Undergraduate Inter-Fraternity Institute (UII), held at Butler University. The annual convention consisted of a four-day series of intense leadership training workshops and was attended by students representing their college s Inter-Fraternity Councils and Panhellenic Executive Boards.
"I can remember getting into a few heated argimients, but the whole experience was amazing," recalled Blankenship. "I became closer with the people I met during this conference than with people I've known since freshman year. "
Working as a group fimess instructor also opened many avenues. Over the course of four years, she became heavily involved in programs such as PRO-Motion and Student Advocates for Body Acceptance (SABA). "I wanted to affea the lives of people and have been able to do this through these organizations. I have benefited from making positive health choices and want others to do so as well," said Blankenship.
When all of her responsibilities seemed to be getting the best of her, she always made an effort to sit back and absorb her natural surroundings.
"Observing the positive energy at this school is much more important than attending a meeting or a class. When I drive through campus, I can't help but think how lucky I was to have gone here." ■
Serving as president of the Panhellenic Council provides senior Britten Blankenship with the opportunity to make posi- tive changes to Greek life. Blankenship started an all- Greek Habitat for Humanity project in conjunction with the university and Shenan- doah chapters of Habitat. ■ Photo by Laura Creecy

While playing with the toys which could be found in her office, Dr. Maria Papadakis of the College of Integrated Science and Technology "brainstorms" about her next class lecture. Papadakis taught the Connections courses for IS AT majors on ethics, critical thinking and public policy. IWany stu- dents found her very ap- proachable and easy to talk to. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid

One o^ Papadakis' techniques to encourage whole-brain thinking" was CO allow students co play with toys while brain- storming ideas for projects or solutions to problems.
m
"My favorite are the farm animals and I think it is because of my desire to live on a farm, " explained Dr. Maria Papadakis, surveying the Legos, building blocks, Mr. Potato Head and other toys scattered throughout the room.
At first, students couldn't fit these things together. But students encountered such a combination in the CISAT/Computer Science Building on weekday afternoons. Papadakis, an associate professor in the College of Integrated Science and Technology, taught Connections, a unique series of classes. The Connections curriculum considered the social aspects and effects when developing and applying new technology. Aspects of critical thinking and creative problem solving were also taught in the course. One of Papadakis' techniques to encourage "whole-brain thinking " was to allow students to play with toys while brainstorming ideas for projects or solutions to problems. Describing herself as a "compulsive self-improvement reader" explained the passion she passed along to her students. Emphasis was placed on real assign- ments that students might encounter after graduation, such as ethical dilemmas.
Before her entrance into the ISAT program, Papadakis gained knowledge and experience in a multitude of places. Her bachelor's and master's degrees are both in the area of political science, along with her doctorate. By training, she was a political economist who investigated the interactions between policy and economic markets and the role of technology in the economy. These skills originated from the time spent at the U.S. Embassy in Zimbabwe as the Acting Economic Officer, as an assessment agent in the International Trade Commission, as a visiting scholar with the National Science Foundation in Japan and teaching opportunities at the University of Kentucky and Syracuse University. Even though she kept busy with her career, she did the "woman-thing," as she called it; she married and raised a son.
Papadakis helped start the summer program in Malta for the ISAT program. "For the abroad experience, the students need to piece together the science expertise and the social implications," she said.
Students foimd it easy to approach Maria, what she preferred to be called, feeling comfortable with her as she treated them on the same level. Being easy to talk to, helpful and in-tune with real-life situations were traits her students admired. With her enthusiasm and her genuine love for teaching, Papadakis said ISAT "absolutely " held promise for the future. ■

» senior Guillermo Ubilla
"I am awake tor about 20 hours a day and I probably spend about 14 attending meetings, doing work for die school or in some way doing something for a club I'm in." On any given night, senior Guillermo Ubilla could usually be found in UREC, meeting with one of his organizadons. Ubilla began the Rtinning Club at the tiniversity and then went on to found the Fencing Club at the request of a friend. He then attained a position on the Spons Club Council where he served as a liaison between the imiversity and other organizations on campus. He ran all council and executive meetings and prepared all the agendas, devoting all his efforts to the position. "What I see as my most important responsibility is to make sure everyone is
working to their potential and we are doing things the best way we possibly can," said Ubilla.
A computer science major, Ubilla grew up in Sterling, Va. He had always been a sports fan, especially of basketball, and had an interest in personal improvement, specifically in the area of leadership. "I love this school, and it has done so much tor me. I love the opportunity to be able to give something back," said Ubilla, who also served as a Student Ambassador for a year. According to him, the people in the program were the most amazing people he had met at school. "They have a passion, commitment and spirit for this school that always lifts my own spirits."
For Ubilla, going to bed at 2 a.m. and getting up at 6 a.m was just a part of his responsibility. However, Ubilla was not without assistance. Rick Larson, the assistant vice president for student affairs, was a great influence on his work. "What gets me most is that [Larson] always has a smile on his face. No matter how busy his day is, he always takes the time to stop, shake my hand, ask how my day is going and to see if I need anything," said Ubilla, adding that it's rare for administrators on Larson's level to stop and ask if a student needed anything.
Ubilla planned to either stay at school for post-graduate studies or look for a web-design job in the Washington, D.C., area. ■

"I find rescue

>> senior
Abby Jones
Was it possible to cany a full courseload, work 20 hours a week and maintain a 3.8 grade point average? Some said no. What about if she also volunteered for the Harrison- burg Rescue Squad 1 8 hours weekly? Most said definitely not. Yet for senior Abby Jones this was more truth than fiction.
For two-and-a-half years, Jones was a member of the rescue squad, which provided 911 response service to the city of Harrisonburg, JMU campus and parts of the sur- rounding Rockingham County. Anytime someone dialed 911, the squad responded to help with car accidents, fires, illnesses, cardiac arrests, falls, seiziu'es, and suicide attempts.
In order to become a member of the rescue squad, Jones, a psychology major, had to complete 140 hours of classroom training to receive her Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification, which is Basic Life Support (BL^) level. She recendy received certification for Shock Trauma Technician (SIT) after 100 additional hours of training to be an Advanced Life Suppon (ALS). She also took classes to learn to drive an ambiJance and to be certified to give CPR.
In addition to her dedication to the rescue squad, she was also a tutor for troubled children in the commimity. During her free time, Jones watched her three favorite television shows: "Trauma," "ER and "Cops."
Why woiJd someone put so much time into volimteering? Jones said, " I find rescue squad very rewarding in that knowing something that I do impacts another in a positive way. In some small way, I may be able to help improve or change someone's life. Sometimes it is not the big cases, but just helping an older lady who fell and broke her hip, or comforting a patient who is terminally ill is most rewarding. I have found that in giving a little of myself, I am the one who receives much more in the end."
Jones joined the squad in order to see if her dream of becoming a doctor was feasible. "Rescue squad was a way to see if I could handle the trauma and blood involved with each call, she said. Next year Jones will be attending the University of Maryland medical school in hopes of being either and emergency room physician or a doctor at a free clinic in an inner-city environment.
"Abby has been a great asset to the rescue squad for the past two-and-a-half years. I am sorry to see her leave but I know she will succeed at the University of Marj'land," said rescue squad chief Tim Barb.
Fellow rescue squad member and second-year graduate student Kate Breitbeil said, "Abby is very responsible and dependable, but her greatest quality is her rapport with both patients and EMS personnel." ■

it was a bug s life
Chosen by faculty for her enthusiasm for biology and her eye for accuracy, senior Amanda Anderson had the opportuniry to work closely with professors doing research in entomology and morphology. In other words, she got to play with bugs and salamanders.
"Burruss was my second home," said Anderson who literally camped out in the academic building on more than one occasion.
After completing courses in research literature and techniques, she was eligible to gain hands-on training and experience her junior year. She had planned to assist Dr. Sharon Babcock with her investigation into the evolution of tails in salamanders, but was switched to Dr. Christopher Rose's project that dealt with finding the function of a rubbery protein located inside the genitalia of water scorpions. Her ability to sculpt and draw complicated diagrams of the internal organs of these tiny insects helped her land the position.
"1 didn't have intentions to do this for more than one semester," Anderson revealed. "But 1 ended up doing it for over a year. It really fascinated me." Anderson's responsibilities included collecting lab specimens in places such as Lake Shenandoah and George Washington National Forest, and making slides using those samples. She also spent an entire summer curating a collection of over 1,000 insects in the basement of Burruss Hall.
Senior Stephen Durkee worked on the project with Anderson. The team reported nearly rwo years of research at the Biology Sym- posium and submitted their findings to a scientific journal with hopes of getting published.
After spending sleepless nights in the basement of Burruss with her eye glued to the eyepiece of a microscope observing the sex life of bugs, perhaps the real downside of her job was not being able to reap the benefits of a cup of Joe. Dissecting insects that were only a couple milli- meters wide with tools too small for even a Barbie doll, required a set of steady hands. ■

Marcia Angell, interim Editor in Chief of The New England Journal of Medicine, graduated from Madison College in 1 960 with a double major in math and chemistry and minor in biology. Time magazine named her as one of the 25 most influential people in the United States.
When students in GSC1 1 04A exchanged views on the topic of identity and form transformations as common themes in 'The Fly," and "Alien," they weren't going off the subjert — it was the subjea. Offered for the first time in January, the class titled "Biology in the Movies," explored public misconceptions about science, resulting from the images Hollywood portrayed on the big screen. Students discussed the issues of cloning as portrayed in "Jurassic Park," genetic engi- neering as portrayed in "Gattica" and extraterrestrial life as portrayed In "Contact." ■ i

Where could you find over 5,000 specimens of exotic butterflies, the tiniest hummingbird egg and a pair of African elephant feet? Located beside Anthony-Seeger Hall, the Life Sciences Museum housed six rooms jam-packed with displays ranging from a live insect zoo to a sea-world room, fea- turing unusual sea shells. Whether visitors were students working on research papers or elementary school children on a field trip, the large sampling of life exhibited within the glass showcases pro- vided a wealth of useful information. ■

We aJl heard the rumors. You were setthng into a class in Burruss Hall, when someone behind you started telling their friend stories about cadavers being stored in the basement.
For more than 30 years, JMU was one of few universities that allowed its under- graduate students to take their interest of anatomy one step further: to study actual human bodies. Few schools worked with cadavers because of a number of reasons. "They are very expensive, it is difficult to obtain approval to use them, they are hard to maintain, they are heavy to move around and they are expensive to cremate. It is far easier to use smaller mammals, so most schools don't go through the trouble," said Dr. Norman E. Garrison, dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. "However, we want to provide the best possible experience for our students, so we are willing to go the extra mile. We have cadavers largely through the hard work and persistence of Bob Graves, a former member of the biolog)' faculty. "
Twice each year, the college received between four and six cadavers, donated to medical science by residents of Virginia, and students were quick to take advantage of the opportunity. Each semester, 14 students enrolled in Biology 410, Advanced Hiunan Anatomy, while about 470 students took the introduaory course, Biology 290. Although the classes were within the biology department, only a few of the students who enrolled were biolog)' majors. The vast majorit)' of students who enrolled were kinesiology and health sciences majors who were required to take anatomy.
The type of anatomy taught was just as unique as the actual program. "Usually in undergraduate schools they use systems-oriented anatomy, but we use regional- anatomy," said Dr. Steven L. Keffer, assistant professor of biolog)'. System-based anatomy studied each system of the body, such as the digestive, nervous and cardio- vascular in their entiret)'. Regional anatomy looked at regions of the body, the chest or abdomen, or head and neck, for example, and all of the systems in those regions.
The university also focused on teaching anatomy from an evolutionary perspective. "We want to show why a system is the way it is, how it compares to those of other venebrates, and how our anatomy has evolved," said Keffer. "We feel the evolutionary perspective helps students to load up the massive amounts of information in anatomy by giving them narratives with which to organize that information."
As you might imagine, working with cadavers caused some anxiety to the smdents involved. The anatomy professors took extensive measures to ensure that their stu-dents were comfortable with their studies. Professors discussed the issue with their smdents beforehand and encouraged them to carefully and slowly become acquainted with the idea, according to Keffer. Some students required a few weeks to become comfortable looking at and being around the cadavers. "We try to be gentle with people," commented Keffer. In addition, the cadavers, which were stored in the class-rooms and covered with a layer of gauze and a plastic sheet, were not fully imcovered during each class. The professors only revealed the particular area of the body being studied at that time.
Overall, students were satisfied with their experiences in Biology 410 and Biology 290. "Going by the book isn't necessarily as helpful," said Lacey Hansen, a senior communication sciences and disorders major. "When you have an actual body to work on, to touch and maneuver, it makes it easier diu'ing the test to make the information work in your mind."
Undergraduates had an advantage over students from many other schools by having the opportunity to anatomically study actual human bodies. "Donation of human remains to something like this is very special," said Keffer. "We're grateful to the people who donated their bodies. We want to show the utmost respea to the remains and we're very careful to do that at all times. " The bodies were kept for a maximum of two years and then the remains were cremated and returned to the family. ■

Video games: We were born with them, we have grown up with them and God RV
willing, we will die holding a joystick in our hand. We learned crucial math skills ^ JL, ^ ^/-ty-i^
jumping blocks placing Q-bert, got coundess hours of exercise on Nintendo's Power Pad and learned about our own monality playing Frogger. As we grew older, the games became more complicated, more entertaining, and against our parents" wishes, much more expensive. Nintendo gave way to Super Nintendo, which eventually gave us the ultimate Nintendo 64.
All the while our parents harped at us, "When will you ever grow out of these infernal video games and go play outside?! " Relax parents, we know you asked these quesdons out of spite toward a generation that did not have to entertain themselves with a hula-hoop or a game of hopscotch.
Then there was college, where, also probably against our parents' wishes, the shon- cuts in MarioKart were more known to us than the Bill of Rights, and Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider, was ogled over as much as Jennifer Aniston. We did not grow out of video games. In faa, we grew alongside the industry. In any given smdent's residence hall you were certain to find the latest of what Nintendo 64, Sony Playstation or Sega Dreamcast had to offer. For smdents, it offered them an escape from the pressures of college life. "When I'm playing video games, I'm not thinking about anything else. I'm in a zone. Video games let me forget how much schoolwork sucks, said junior Jay Patel. For college students, video games were a time to let loose, hang out with friends and procrastinate, procrastinate, procrastinate.
SacUy, video games also took their toll on many students. Stories surfaced about students who actually failed out of school and claimed the main reason it happened was video games. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome was a constant threat to the avid video game player. Many relationships also died thanks to these technological marvels. "My boyfriend plays Grand Turismo II all the time. I never even get to see him anymore," said junior Janna Bridgham, who wished she hadn't given the game to her boyfriend as a Christmas gift.
But don't expect the video game to disappear from the coUege campus anytime soon. It was as much a staple on the campus as the food at D-Hall. Two years ago during the World Cup, a majority of British men polled said they would rather watch the World Cup than have one night with the woman of their dreams. If you posed a similar question to college males, they might prefer one more game of Goldeneye than one night with their dream squeeze. ■

At first glance, junior Patrick Quentmeyer seemed quiet and shy. Not imtil he started telling stories of his antics did he seem the tyjje to build a large wooden bar in the living room of his Olde Mill Village apartment.
"I said to PaiJ, 'We need a bar, " said Quentmeyer about the reasoning behind the centerpiece. "So, we just built it over Christmas and now we keep adding things." The bar top was made with an interesting assortment of "junk" found in the backs of drawers, according to Quentmeyer. Along with roommate junior Paul Hajdasz, Quentmeyer colleaed objects ranging from old Matchbox cars to old campus phone directories to beer caps. They placed the junk into a 3-inch inset on the bar top and covered the materials with a mixture of chemicals that solidified into a plastic- like substance. Once completed, the bar top was not only an artistic collection of knickknacks, but also the topic of many conversations.
Along with the bar top, the rest of the bar, which had Killian's Red and Bud Light on-tap, was decorated with old stop signs, license plates, bumper stickers, a neon "Red Dog" sign and various other ornaments.
Yet Quentmeyer and his roommates were not the only ones who took advantage of the bar. "All these people come over," said Quentmeyer sounding slighdy annoyed. "[During one party], we had people waiting in the parking lot ... there was a 45-minute wait to get in. People were crowd surfing in the hallway. Fighting Gravity tried to get in but the bouncer wouldn't let them. "
It was easy to imagine the amoimt of money Quentmeyer and his roommates spent hosting the party. "That night we went through six kegs and 800 cups," he said. "We had four kegs downstairs but we couldn't bring them up because {continued on p. 272) »

» (continued fivm p. 271) there were so many people on the stairs."
Continuing the party theme was senior Wes Lindquist and his three roommates, junior Jeremy Jackson and seniors Ryan Murray and Mo Bankar, who shared a Fox Hill townhouse. They not only had a Kegerator (which Lindquist described as an "end-less flow of beer,") in a doorless closet downstairs, but their upstairs loft was plastered with over 100 ads for Absolut Vodka, a dart board and a large beer-pong table. Down-stairs they had more than 100 empty alcohol bottles positioned on shelves running around the living room.
"I think we all just kind of decided we were going to keep bottles at the end of our sophomore year," said Lindquist. "So we started collecting them."
The roommates also managed to make creative use of damaged property, most notably a broken closet door, known as "the quote door." "My roommate put a hole in it," said Lindquist, "Nobody cared about ruining it, so we started putting quotes on it." The door was covered with both random quotes and autographs from visitors to the house.
Back in Olde Mill, senior Charlie Salahuddin preferred a more cultural and artistic form of decoration for the apartment he shared with three roommates. Salahuddin decorated the walls of the living room with Chinese art, tapestries from India and 10 different African tribal masks from Nigeria, Tanzania and Madagascar.
"It's just something I liked," he said about the decision to buy the tribal masks and to display them on his walls. "They're exotic and beautiful." Salahuddin also knew some history about his prized possessions. "They're hand-crafted and hand- painted from a single piece of wood. And they're used in tribal rituals."
While students chose to decorate in different manners ranging from building a bar to embellishing rooms with foreign art, all of these forms of self-expression had a common purpose. Decorating their surroundings made the students' time at school seem more pleasant, and gave them some practice for decorating their own homes after graduation. ■

Spending time together as a family is important to seniors Jon and Shana Shrader. Both Jon and Shana balanced work and school so they could be home with their son, Gavin, as much as possible. ■ Photo by Laura Creecy
"You Start to realize what stress is all about.. >y senior Jon Shrader
For most students, classes were their first priority, even if they didn't want them to be. But for art history major Shana Shrader and her husband Jon, a computer information systems major, family came first. Their two year old son, Gavin, kept them on the run between classes, work, meetings and trips to the grocery store. The two met through mutual friends at the university and decided to get married about a year before their intended graduation. Jon, a transfer student from Blue Ridge Community College, managed a full class schedule and work schedule while Shana stayed with their son during the day. Only able to take one or two classes each semester, Shana worked out her schedule so that Jon could be home when she was not. Although it was taking the Shraders longer to graduate, they believed it was more imponant to stay home with their son while he was young. Helping them with their responsibilities was Jon's mother, who occasionally baby-sat Gavin. Although Shana was originally from southern Virginia, and Jon fi'om Harrisonburg, the couple setded in Harrisonburg.
"You start to realize what stress is all about," said Jon, who, along with Shana, hoped to graduate in December 2000. Shana agreed and added that she had to be a lot more cautious and was forced to always plan ahead. Most students didn't aa differendy toward the Shraders when they found out about Gavin, though Shana recalled walking through the bookstore with him and noticed that some students would second glance. "You don't see many people with kids on campus, " Shana said, and added that the glances did not bother her. The balance between family and school was a great compromise on the Shrader's lives, but both Jon and Shana had no regrets. ■

With energy and excite- ment, members of tlie Dukettes perform on the sidelines for the crowd. The dance team began preparing for April's national championship in January and brought in a professional choreographer to help with the routine. ■ Photo by Carlton Wolfe
During one of their daily practices, fresh- man Cara Goodwin leads the Dukettes in a new dance sequence. The dance team practiced everyday for two hours in pre- paration for their halftime performances at all football and basketball games. ■ Photo by Melissa Bates
At 6 p.m. on game day, the basketball coun in the Convocation Center filled with the sounds of music blaring and feet stomping. The sounds were not the result of enthusiastic fans but of the 25 dedicated women called the Dukettes. An hour-and-a- half before game time was the only opponunity the dance team had to practice their routine on the court before the basketball teams arrived. The women ran through their routines several times before retiring to the sidelines to cheer for the team until their halftime performance.
Each routine that was performed at halftime was practiced and perfected at the team's daily practices. The two-hour practices began with a 20-minute group stretch, followed by technique work on the difficult parts of each routine. The rest of practice was spent polishing the routine to be performed that weekend.
The members of the team had a variety of dance experience, most having been on high school dance teams or taken studio dance. Experience was not required, however, just a desire to dance. "At tryouts the girls learn a combination vAth certain jumps, leaps and turns. We don't look for perfection, but a potential to improve," said captain Jen Poore, a senior.
Besides practicing and performing at football and basketball games, the team prepared for the national competition in Daytona Beach, Fla., held the second week of April. Unlike previous years, the Dukettes began preparing for the competition in January and brought in a choreographer to help with the routine. Perfecting the routine at this early stage allowed the team to stay focused and prevented the need to extend already strenuous practices in order to perfect the performance.
"We wanted to prepare ourselves and know the routine solidly so that we can focus on other things for the competition, " said Poore. ■

"Wherever
you go, there
are needs and
people to
serve, so you
just bring
your best
and it tends
to work out
very well."
» Rev. John
Grace
In the comfortable den of the Catholic Campus Ministry house, Rev. John Grace could ordinarily be found sharing a laugh with students, shooting the breeze and recalling stories of his early days in campus ministry. Those who came to know him soon discovered there was more to learn about this Catholic priest aside from the spiritual messages in his weekly homilies.
Surprising to some, the call to serve God was preceded by several odd jobs including a stint as a truck driver in the tropical locales of the Hawaiian Islands. An interesting back- ground and a special ability to connect to students made him a visible and recognizable presence at the university.
Personable, understanding and involved, Grace was a man whom students came to know as a friend and mentor through campus organi- zations as well as CCM activities. "Father John is very easy to talk to. Its a little inti- midating at first because of his title, but he's very friendly and he relates his homilies in a way that you think he's speaking right to you. He's not just a Sunday priest, he's real involved," said freshman Lori Bianchet.
An Irish descendant, Grace was born in New York not far from Yankee Stadium. With a father in the U.S. Marine Corps, he spent most of his early life moving around, constantly encountering new people and environments. It was during his college years at St. Meinrad's, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in history, that he was first attracted to the church and its services to the community.
"When I was in college, I was very involved with community development and service activities at-large and off-campus. I went to a Catholic college so the idea of spirituality was very much fostered and as a result, I grew up. I think I was blessed with the experience of a lot of hands-on activity service to the commimity, coupled with a spirituality and a sense of purpose in concert with God," said Grace.
"That sense of purpose in life to bring good was very strong with me. Were very idealistic in college. You can go change the world and I saw church as being a community that was very involved with social change," said Grace.
Grace was ordained in 1979 after receiving his master's degree in theology. He served in parishes in Norfolk and Lynchburg, Va., before receiving the call from the Diocese of Richmond in 1989 to lead the Catholic Campus Ministry at the university. Twenty-two semesters later, Grace was the minister of CCM and also an adviser tor the social fraternity Theta Chi. He presented spiritual programs to residence halls on campus and served as the chaplain for the football team for a short time.
"I'm here to serve the church on campus, whoever might be able to use me or be part of what CCM has to offer as well. If I can build up where students are, it's to build toward good. I really enjoy working with students because it's exciting, they have so much going for them. Education is discovering that," said Grace.
Helping students wresde with the big quesuons of life and discover their talents allowed Grace to see students' movement away from high school into yoimg adulthood. The possibilities for discovery and growth gave him a sense of accomplishment.
"I'm not sure what the future holds, but whatever happens will work out fine. Wherever you go, there are needs and people to serve, so you just bring your best and it tends to work out very well, " said Grace. ■

For most students, Harrisonburg was only a two- to three-hour drive, but for three Norwegian students, Harrisonbiug was on the other side of the world. Their reasons for fljing thousands of miles were two- fold: education and soccer. As members of the men's soccer team, fresh- man Lars Haslestad, sophomore Endre Sohus and junior Ade Rognerud made commitments to their academics and the athletic department leaving Norway behind and bringing their soccer skills to the States. One might wonder how coach Tom Martin, in his 22nd season, foimd and recruited international players, or more importandy how they discovered JMU, a middle-sized school in the Eastern United States. Martin credited the Intemet for much of the successful recruiting, allowing communication to span the ocean.
Martin relied on his connections which played an important role in recruiting, as in the case of jimior Niki Budalich from Kitchener, Ontario. Budalich played soccer with a friend of coach Martin's who recommended him as a great student-athlete. "We definitely look for guys who are strong academically and are good athletes that can contribute to the team," said Martin. Budalich fulfilled the coach's expectations as well as having his own expectations of the program met. Budalich believed that soccer in the United States was more competitive and the athletes were more talented.
Rognerud, from Lillestrom, Norway, transferred from South Alabama University where he led the team in scoring. Sophomore John Ambridge from Egham, Surrey, England, Rognerud's teammate at South Alabama, recommended him to coach Martin. Rognerud was content with his decision and acknowledged the high level of competi- tion and talented players in the United States. He noticed a slight difference in defensive styles between Norwegian and American players in that the United States plays with
a sweeper, a more old fashioned defense. "JMU is just as good as any team in Norway," said Rognerud, but he believed that the coaching in Norway was better at an early age where the coaches were experienced and not just one of the players' fathers.
Haslestad was also from Lillestrom and compared soccer in the United States as being relatively the same except he preferred the pre- cision in American soccer with more positioning that allowed players to have more control of the ball. "Soccer is more organized in Norway; players here are better individually, though," Haslestad said. To him, soccer and education were equal faaors in his deci- sion to come to JMU. Haslestad explained that in Norway, there is no Unk between sports and school; athletes play sports for clubs, not for the school. He also enjoyed the experiences of traveling within the United States and the education he received.
Other international players on the men's soccer team included senior Ivar Sigurjonsson, sophomore Seppo Jokisalo of Finland, and freshman Ben Munro of England. According to Martin, the right international smdent could bring something special to a college program, and with the team being led by these players, it is not surprising to find them among the top six winningest NCAA Division I programs of the 1990s. ■

"Having
Dr. Warner
as a professor
was a

experience."
» senior
Patricia
Kennelly
"Living and loving it." If anyone was around Dr. Mark Warner, vice president for student affairs, this idea emanated from him. Warner spread a positive message to all he came in contact with in the JMU community. When a students entered his classroom, they saw on the board "You make a difference." At home, he tried to help his two daughters reach their full potential, striving for his number one goal, to be a good father.
Not only was Warner a professor of health sciences and an administrator, he was also an alumnus. He received his undergraduate degree in 1979, his M.A. in 1981 and his Ed.S. in 1985. His father asked him several times, "When are you going to graduate from JMU?"
Warner always answered with a laugh and said, "Never!" Warner said that as an undergraduate, JMU gave him opportunities and skills that exceeded all his expec- tations. Since then, he never had a reason to leave.
Warner lived near campus with his wife and two teenage daughters. He attributed the recent purchase of his seventh mailbox to his proximity to campus. However, he did not have to buy any more mailboxes, because Warner bought a new log cabin, where he said he will spend time carving wood and working on more novels. Warner published his first book, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Enhancing Self- Esteem." He planned to base his next book on his profession, teaching. He talked to professors, asking them specifically what they would choose as a topic for their last lecture. He centered his novel on what he believed to be an important theme in life, "living and loving it."
Among Warner's many goals was increasing diversity and the number of received applications. He bet the admissions office that the university would receive 14,000 freshman applications and if he lost, he would have to serve cofi^ee and doughnuts to the admissions staff wearing a hula skin. Warner saw himself being in higher edu- cation from now imtil forever, moving from administration back to being a fiill-time faculty member.
"Having Dr. Warner as a professor was a highlight of my college experience," said senior psychology major Patricia Kennelly. "He has made a difference in my life and I hope there are many who are lucky enough to learn from him. " ■
As a professor, administra- tor and father, Dr. Marl< Warnertriestosend the same positive message to his colleagues, students and children. He not only posted encouraging notes on the blackboard of his classroom, he also pub- lished his thoughts in "The Complete Idiof s Guide to Self-Esteem." ■ Photo c/o JMU Photography Services

Throughout her college career, Coleen Kreiger was subconsciously preparing for the culmination of four years: the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. During her reign, Kreiger acquired numerous awards and recognition as an outstanding midfielder. She was named to the All-South second team 1997, AU-CAA second team 1997 and 1998 and the CFHCA National Academic Squad 1997 and 1998. Kreiger was selected to attend the 1998 NCAA Leadership Conference and was an alternate on the Under-21 National Team.
In her senior year alone, Kreiger was selected to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-South first team and earned All-CAA first team honors. The four-year starter in midfield and nvo-time All-South selection lor the Dukes scored a hat trick in the game against Appalachian State leading the team to a shutout victor^' at home.
Kreiger, a kinesiology major with a concentration in physical education, followed in her sister's footsteps by coming to the universit)' to plav field hockey. Kelly Kreiger was a 1996 All-America selection.
After being selected to represent JMU and the United States as a member of the women's field hockey team, Kreiger had to take her game to the next level. The fight for a position on the team continued as Kreiger competed against the nation's top field hockey players. Her attributes, skills and imquestionable desire to be among the best field hockey players in the nation earned her a spot on the 22- member team before it was later cut to 18. The team com- peted in an Olympic qualifying tournament from March 24-April 2 in England in which they needed a top-five finish in the 10-team tournament to qualify for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. ■

» sophomore
Charlie Hatter
As a senior at Stuarts Draft High School, Charlie Hatter was a standout athlete in football, basketball and baseball. He had just signed a letter of intent to play basketball for JMU when tragedy struck. Just before his senior basketball season was about to begin, Hatter suffered an injury to his shooting forearm, which was sup- posed to be a career-ending injury.
During practice, when Hatter was chasing a ball out-of-bounds, he put his shooting hand throi^ a door window with chicken wire. Hatter lacerated his ulnar nerve, which controls the pinky, ring and middle fingers. He also tore three tendons in his hand and wrist. After the accident, Hatter had surgery in which he had several hun- dred stitches and a brace molded to his forearm that he had to wear for four months. After surgery, the doaors told Hatter that he would have to red- shirt his fteshman season and there was a chance he would never play basketball again. "When the doctors told me that ... I was mad and upset, but Iquickly realized that sports were not the only thing in life. I found other things to enjoy outside of sports."
Haner, now a sophomore, had to sit out his entire senior basketball and baseball seasons rehabilitating his hand. "I went to Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, two or three times a week for physical therapy. I worked on rebuilding strength in my hand with silly putty and light free weights." Hatter wore the molded brace and could not use his hand until the end of his senior year of high school. He then slowly began to use his hand to hold things and draw. "My physical therapy was really slow and frustrating. I had a lot of pain and rehab but I knew I had to give it time to heal. Going through this taught me a lot about patience." Finally able to use his right hand again in the summer before going to college. Hatter started dribbling and shooting again. His ball control and ability to catch quick passes was not the same as before the accident.
When Hatter's accident occurred, he had already signed to play basketball with the Dukes. Men's head basketball coach Sherman Dillard was very understanding and cooperative. "WTien I got hun, coach Dillard and the team were on a road trip in Oregon. As soon as coach heard about my accident he came to visit me. He told me not to worry about my scholarship, he would honor his promise."
During his red-shin season, Hatter was able to do everything with the team but play in games. He practiced, lifted weights and traveled with the team and was glad to have red-shirted. "It gave me a chance to learn the system and become a more mature player."
In his first year of play, Hatter, an off guard, still had no feeling in his pinky or ring finger and probably never will. Hatter came off the bench and gave the Dukes help in scoring from the perimeter. In retrospect Hatter said, "It was harder missing my senior season of high school than it was missing my freshman year of college.

Isa!
SalsaJ Over the last few years, the popularity of this music and dance under- went dramatic growth. Traditionally a ballroom dance, salsa clubs sprang up all over large cities, and the dance gained the interest of people all over the world. The popularity of salsa on campus was no different.
In early spring, UREC began offering salsa dance classes to anyone at the university. The response was astounding. Within a short time, the six-week class was full, with 48 participants and another 10 on a waiting list.
"UREC began offering it because it's popular now, ' said Karen Calloway, the salsa instructor, who also taught dance at the Danon Learning Center. "They're doing swing classes too. They just picked something that a lot of people were doing and the music is very popular too. "
Walking into the dance studio on the second day of class, you could in no way underestimate the popularity of the dance form at the university. With salsa music blasting from the speakers, students and a few professors dressed in jeans or spandex crowded around the room. As would be expected, there were more women than men, so a few of the women had to dance the male pan with their female partners. As for the men who did participate, most looked as if they had been dragged to UREC against their will.
"I brought [the class] up [in a conversation] and he said he wanted to do it, " said junior accounting major Melissa Rotter about her dance partner, Hayden Barnard.
Yet, the senior management major had a different story to tell. "I wanted to make her happy, " he said, "because I don t know how to dance. '
Class was ready to begin. "We're going to go over what we did last week. " said Calloway as she turned off the stereo. The students stood in a circle around her awaiting instruction. She began reciting and demonstrating the steps, "All right, forward, close, back and close."
Uncertain giggles and chatter echoed around the studio as the students tried their best to mimic Calloway's movements.
Then the class embarked into some uncharted territory ... new dance steps. "Okay, quick quick turn, quick quick turn, " said Calloway, going through the steps with an assistant. "Now, do that one on your own a couple of times and let me watch you."
"Anybody over here need help? " Calloway asked pointing toward the right side of the studio. Her question was answered by a few giggles but mosdy silence.
Some students already knew the basics of salsa dancing. "I go dancing with my parents all the time," said sophomore kinesiology major Tasha Mainvielle. "I just wanted to get the real backbone instead of the club style."
Other students were completely new to it. Juan Kuilan, a freshman health sciences major, took the class to get stamps on his health class passport, but with hopes of learning salsa.
No matter what their dance level, the participants came away from the class with new friends and a greater appreciation for dance. ■

"Whenever I start to think that I can't handle some- thing, I say to myself that I beat cancer and that this is nothing com- pared to that." » sophomore Holly Griffin
when Holly Griffin walked into her doctor's ofFice for the required pre-college physical, she wasn't expecting the diagnosis she received, hi May of her senior year in high school, a doctor found a lump in her neck during the routine exam- ination. "She also made a note that I had lost 10 pounds in the last two months, " said Griffin. "I, of course, wasn't complaining, because no one is going to complain about losing 10 pounds."
After taking a chest X-ray, the doctor sent her home and Griffin thought she was fine. Two days later, immediately after her prom, her father told her the news that her X-ray was abnormal. She was warned of the possibility of cancer. She had the limip removed and was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. After a series of tests to determine how severe the disease was, Griffin was fitted with a medi-port, a chest catheter that delivered chemotherapy treatment.
"Five days after receiving my medi-pon, my friend and I went to Busch Gardens for one last day of carefree fun. My treatment required me to have chemo every two weeks for six months ... meaning 1 had to miss my first semester here, " said Griffin.
Griffin went to orientation over the summer but didn't officially enroll in classes at the university until January 1999. Starting college was hard enough for healthy students, but for Griffin the experience was scary. "1 was mostly bald. I didn't lose all my hair — just about 80 percent — which was even stranger than just being bald! " Griffin was afraid of how people would react to her altered appearance but found that they surprised her with their friendliness. In fact. Griffin found that the people in Garber Hall made her transition easier. "They helped me to understand all sorts of htde things at JMU, like when someone at Duke's says, 'dining' that means 'dining dollars' and not, 'are you eating here? " said Griffin.
Griffin credited her friends and sense of humor with helping her to get through her batde with the disease. During the first months of her illness. Griffin was stuck at home because of her dependence on daily shots from her doctor. "I joked about how I was on the ultimate diet, not eating anything solid for a week, then eating whatever I wanted the next week in order to make up for the weight I had lost, and I was still imder- weight. " Every other weekend. Griffin was given a break from the shots. During her free days she made road trips where she could be "around young people again."
In the fall of 1999, Griffin joined Delta Delta Delta. "One thing I really enjoy about them is that their philanthropy is children's cancer charities."
Griffin was happy just to have made it to school, and she didn't take college life for granted. "I love everything about JMU. Getting here was an obstacle for me, and it was what I focused on while 1 was sick," said Griffin.
Griffin had been in remission since Dec. 21,1998. Routine tests were still re- quired but fortunately they could be scheduled over winter, spring and summer breaks. After five years of remission. Griffin would be officially "cured."
Now celebrating a "second birthday," Griffin was grateful for her second chance at life. "Whenever I start to think that I can't handle something, I say to myself that I beat cancer and that this is nothing compared to that. I had to grow up much faster than I should have and had to deal with things that no one should have to, but I learned how incredibly strong I am. There is nothing I can't do or handle." ■

It was 8:25 and the band still wasn't ready to take the stage. Surveying the packed Convocation Center, UPB musical events coordinator Brett McNamara, a junior, looked anxiously at the frenzied fans in the audience. Last-minute preparations con- tinued before his eyes. The security guards took their positions along the front of the stage where eager concert-goers gathered in hopes of reaching out to touch a star. As technicians performed their sound checks, members of the crew moved the remaining instruments and props onto the stage. Suddenly, through a walkie-talkie cime the words he was waiting for: "It's showtime," said the voice through the static reception.
Bringing events to campus was never an easy process. As one of the bluest smdent organizations on campus and having the largest budget, UPB had hundreds of details to work out to ensure the success ot an event betore it actually came to campus.
After polling the student body, UPB members narrowed down the choices while considering what events would sell and who was affordable. Concert resource magazines like POLSTAR provided touring and agent information while middle agencies such as Cellar Door connected the UPB directors to artist representatives to express interest in bringing them to campus. "Our representative from Cellar Door, Mike Jones, talks to the booking agencies, finds out their touring information and acts as the middleman between the artist's people and us to make sure everything's cool," said McNamara.
After agreeing on a number of anists, UPB directors then drew up proposals and submitted them before the board for approval. If the proposal passed, UPB submitted a bid to the artist's agent with the specific price, date and performance information.
Securing an event was not without difficiJties. Issues of money, venue availability and touring schedules often prevented events from happening despite the best efforts of the board members. "One of the bluest deterrents as far as bringing entertainment to campus is our venues. It's not just the type and style of the venues but the capacity and the limited amount of time we're offered to book those venues," said alumnus Chris Stup, the student organization's coordinator.
When bids were accepted, event coordinators began planning for the show immediately. The hospitalit)' committee took care of the items in the artists' contract that pertained to the artists' comfort such as buying food and dressing room items and booking hotels. The advertising team started the preconcert buzz by circulating publicity and ticket information. "Hospitality takes care of the artists' contracts. And by having good facilities and good food, we get a good reputation that precedes our name," said senior Marty Anderson, director of hospitality.
On the day of show, volunteers from UPB committees helped load equipment and prepare food and dressing rooms while board members made sure all the details were taken care of throughout the night. After an event, UPB members had the satis- faction of knowing they had successfully put a production together.
Days later, the event was little more than a fond memory to students, but to the members of University Program Board, the show was a symbol of achievement that had been the result of hours of hard work and dedication "It can be a rewarding job," said senior Brad Pool, director of comedy/novelty. "The exciting thing is that you're in charge of bringing talent to campus. You've seen the people you're bringing here on TV before, and it's great to be the one who gets them here." ■
Helping set up the stage for the G. LoveAThe Roots concert on Nov. 14, junior Ann-Janette Canonigo worl<s with other UPB volunteers to roll a speaker onto the stage. There vwere 1 5 directors on UPB's exec- utive board who were in charge of all aspects of university entertainment. There was also a large vol- unteer staff of students who helped with everything from loading equipment to preparing food. ■ Photo by Laura Greco

"Children, not materials or methods, should be at the heart of the curriculum, " said Dr. Gail Fox, an early childhood professor who has devoted her life to the edu- cation of young children.
A prominent member of the education department, Fox was not always a resident of Harrisonburg. Her desire to become a facilitator to children was instilled in her throughout her childhood in New England. Several special experiences there, such as summer camps, mtoring and babysitting, all influenced her in the decision to teach. Graduating from Chatham College with a major in psychology and a minor in educa- tion. Fox then pursued her master's of education in reading from JMU and completed course work in reading education at the University of Virginia. She discovered a dire love for children's literamre and soon made it her goal to educate children in literacy. Fox arrived at the university in 1 989 and taught Rill time in the early childhood program in literacy since 1992. Her constant encouragement, enthusiasm and bene- volence during that time made smdents' learning experiences inspiring and enjoyable. Each day she enthusiastically welcomed everyone with a warm, inviting smile and enlightened her students with daily humor. Junior Kara Moriarty said, "She
makes me laugh and reads us stories like we're little kids again which is so refreshing in college." Fox's friendly, spirited nature not only inspired students to attend every class, but it provided a perfea learning atmosphere. She was an extremely knowledgeable professor who successfully instilled her wisdom in those students striving to achieve their teacher's license.
"This past semester with Dr. Fox has taught me so much and I am only more reassured of my desire to want to teach," said junior Jessica Dodd.
Fox truly touched the hearts and minds of many of her students during her teaching years and brought many individuals to life with her relentless vivacity and support. Niunerous students testified to how fortimate they were to have been taught by such a wise, stimulating individual. Her love for children and the self-gratification she experienced while teaching them inspired smdents to new levels and oiJy strengthened their desire to follow in her footsteps. ■

If you asked Drew Carey the question, "Whose line is it anyway?" he'd probably ^ve you a few harsh lines of his own. Likewise, if you asked the cast of New &C Improv.'d, I comedic improvisational group, that exact question, they'd probably do the same -hing — maybe improvising a bit though.
Founded in the winter of 1998 by senior and president of the group, Alicia rieinemann. New & Improv.'d took pride in the fact that they were not established jased on the popular television show, "Whose Line is it Anyway?, " which also featured a /ariety of improvisational acts. Ironically, the group's T-shirts displayed their slogan: 'Like before, only funny, " but it wasn't until the spring of 1999 that the group was clnally recognized on campus.
"I've always had an interest in comedic improv, especially bringing it to JMU since there was nothing really like it here, " said fieinemann whose interest led to die development of a very imique organization. Originally made up of five members, the group worked together for a month until they opened auditions to the public in Taylor Hall. Holding auditions on Sept. 12, in which about 25 people tried out, the group increased its membership to 1 1, three of whom were seniors and the rest were freshmen and sophomores. Some members had either acting or musical experience, ibut others just wanted the opportunity to have fiin with improv. Senior Sam Taliaferro's experience came from observation as he said, "1 interned at Disney where I was able to see a lot of improv groups in the evenings. "
Students were able to see New & Improv.'d perform at venues throughout Harrisonburg, including Hanson Hall, Taylor Down Under, the Artful Dodger and a church to which member Bill Howard, the group's business manager, belonged. New & Improv.'d incorporated their own games into their shows, as well as adapting and modifying games from other comedic improvisational groups. Practicing once or twice a week for two hours at a time, the group members interacted with each lother as if they'd known each other their whole lives. Showing their interactive skills in a game called "Death by ... , " group members divided into three teams with two people per team. One team challenged another team to die by means of a certain object, no matter how obscure the object was. The more creative the objects were, the more challenging it was for the other team find a way to die by means of that objea. One team suggested "death by macaroni" whereupon a member of the opposing group killed his teammate in an attempt to hoard the delicious macaroni for himself ' Other games entided "Pan Left, Pan Right, " "Every Other Line" and "Shoulda
I , Said" relied on a moderator, a person who started the scenes with an idea or prompt. P The actors then reacted to the moderator's cues while feeding off each other, but they tried to stay within the game's rules. In the game "ShoiJda Said," the moderator set up a scene for two of the actors to play out, but after one of the actors delivered a line, the moderator shouted "Shoulda Said!" and the actor had to quickly come up with a new line. Eventually the actors strayed from the original scene and found themselves in a hilariously random dialogue until the moderator finally ended the game among the crowd's laughter.
New & Improv.'d held a workshop on Feb. 2 to prepare for their auchtions on Feb. 6. Their show, the Improv Bowl, occurred Feb. 26 at Taylor Down Under and featured the group which was divided into two teams competing against each other. The audience served as the judge in the competition and the only predictable moment of the show came at the end of the two-hour barrage of improvisation when the crowd applauded having been truly entertained. ■

"We have the same ISAT classes this semester and find it's very helpfi.ll being together so we can do home- work and smdy together." » sophomore Sarah Rainey
While most siblings would admit they loved their brother or sister, few could say they enjoyed each other's company as much as sophomores Chrissy and Sarah Rainey. The Raineys not only shared a school, a room, a major and friends, but also their looks. With the same blonde hair and blue eyes, the twins not only appeared to be identical but also to be best friends.
As high school seniors in Milford, Conn., the Raineys ended up applying to the same schools. "My mom always wanted us to go to the same college, and we both really liked JMU," said Chrissy. But for their first semester, they decided to room separately to meet new people. After 16 weeks, the twins decided it was much easier to live with each other, since they spent most of their time together and became friends with the same people. Both twins were ISAT majors. "We have the same ISAT classes this semester and find it's very helpfiil being together so we can do homework and study together, " Sarah said.
The Raineys were also very involved in the Club Tennis team. In keeping with the identical theme, Chrissy and Sarah played doubles together. "I always play one side of the court and Sarah always serves first, " said Chrissy. "At a tournament at UNC, we ended up playing doubles against another set of twins."
As would be expected, the twins were often mistaken for each other. "Professors mix us up at the beginning of the semester, but later they can tell us apart," said Chrissy. "We never really wanted to switch places ... but we did play a good April Fools' Day joke in fifth grade," Chrissy said. Chrissy dressed in one of Sarah's characteristic outfits but went to her own classes. "Everyone thought we had switched, but we hadn't, so the joke was on them," laughed Chrissy.
Even though they were always finishing each other's sentences, the twins did have differences. The main physical difference was Sarah's birthmark on her left cheek. As to their personalities, friends could definitely tell who was who. But as all siblings do, the twins fought over what they thought distinguished themselves from the other. "Sarah says she's older, but my response is always that I'm taller," said Chrissy. ■
Twins Chrissy and Sarah Rainey share more than their genes. In addition to living together in Converse Hall, the sisters are also ISAT majors and on the Club Tennis team. ■ Photo by Laura Creecy

OWER
Geoffrey Morley-Mower scooted on his motorbike past the throngs of students on the crowded campus walkways as he did each and every day. As he flew toward the classrooms of Keezell Hall, stu- dents familiar with his background as a wing commander in the Royal Air Force could envision the popu- lar professor guiding one of his P-5 1 Mustangs in much the same way through the dangerous skies of Europe during World War II.
A distinctive English accent identified Morley-Mower s country of origin, a born and bred Londoner from the township of Ealing. At. the onset of World War II, at orJy 20 years old, he joined the air force, beginning a career in aviation that would last 31 years. Photographs of his early flights over the rugged mountainous regions of northern India and the red sands of Western Australia hang in his office amidst pictures of warplanes recalling his aviator days.
Morley-Mower eventually made his way to the United States, filling a British military seat at the Pentagon. "We hadn't been here more than a year when I decided, by God, I want to stay in this countr)' and bring up my children here," he said.
After obtaining his master's degree from Catholic University, he applied for several university teaching positions and found himself at Madison College, a professor of English literature. "1 led a happy life in the air force, but I think life at JMU has been the happiest. I get to do what I love because I'm mad about English literatiu'e, and I think American students are the nicest people in the world, " he said.
Having served for 20 years as the faculty adviser for the Catholic Campus Ministry, Morley-Mower now devoted much of his spare moments to his passions: reading, writing and golfmg. In 1993, his first book, "Messerscmitt Roulette, " was published detailing his advennires as a fighter/ reconnaissance pilot with an Australian squadron in North Africa from 1941-42. His next writing venture, "Flying BUnd," due in the year 2000, was, in his own words, "about the joy of flying, the intoxicating and dangerous freedom to move through the blue air in three directions at once."
"I'm having a creative old age. I suppose when you're not rushing around so much, it's easier to sit down and write, " he said of his extracurricular activities. "Nothing to me is working, because my interest is in what I teach. I love getting in front of the class and trying to teach the glories of the English language to my students. At the moment I'm not doing anything I don't love doing, " he said.
Pilot, poet, golfer, author, teacher, father and husband, 81 -year-old Renaissance man Morley-Mower claimed to love a great many things in life but none so much as the institution of marriage and his wife of 27 years, Mary. "I've had two extremely happy marriages, and so has she, and we can't conceive of what an unhappy marriage is like. What the hell do people do to get unhappy in this paradise on earth called marriage.' The only unhappiness is not having someone to love. " ■

"What we
propose
would be, to
the best of our
knowledge,
one of the
earliest
comprehensive
undergraduate
degree
programs in
the country."
» Dr. Ken
Williamson
In the world of fast-paced techno- logy, the university prepared their stu- dents for the future. Faculty members of the College of Business, CISAT and the School of Media Arts and Design proposed a four year Bachelor's of Sci- ence program in electronic commerce to the State Council for Higher Educa- tion in the tall.
"The program we propose is expressly designed and intended to equip its graduates with the knowledge base and the blend ot business and technical skills to launch themselves very successfully into a professional workplace that is being drastically reshaped on virtually a daily basis by information technology and its enablement of e-commerce, " stated Dr. Ken Williamson, a marketing professor, and member of the team that designed the e-commerce program. Unfortunately, Gov. James Gilmore's proposed budget submitted to the legislature during winter 1999 did not include the funds for the upcoming major. The program was placed on the back burner, but was not written off.
The failure to implement the new major did not deny the need for the training of students in the field. "What we propose would be, to the best of our knowledge, one of the earliest comprehensive undergraduate degree programs in the country," commented Williamson. In fact one of the "Big Five" accounting firms informed Williamson that they alone would hire all 200 graduates per year that were forecasted to be turned out.
If the program passed, 200 graduates a year would benefit from comprehensive training in one of the fastest growing industries in the business world. Students would broaden their knowledge of "the application of information technology to commercial processes, producing the phenomenon we call e-commerce that is creating an unprece- dented explosion in entrepreneurial energy and activity 3S manifested in new venture creation, and surfacing exciting new business ideas and models, " said Williamson.
In the mean time students continued to learn more about the e-commerce phenomenon as a part of the curriculum in several of their courses in the College of Business and in CISAT.
Although, the e-commerce program hit a minor roadblock, it was still a dream that was being actively pursued by many members of the College of Business, CISAT and School of Media Arts and Design. "Obviously I believe it would be an enormous disappointment and disservice for students, for the organizations recruiting and hiring our graduates and for interested faculty if JMU is compelled to lose that opportunity," said Williamson. ■
Even college students have caught the e-commerce virus, the new industrial revolution in America. The university explored the idea of creating a new major to prepare students for the future, a Photo by Carlton Wolfe

Students for Camp Heartland strived to raise money to send as many children as possible whose lives have been affected by the AIDS virus to camp each year.
Camp Heartland offered children a week of fiin where they could be themselves without worrying what others thought. The cost of sending one child to camp for a week was $1250. Camp Heartland funded the trip for every camper.
The organization began at the university in 1994 by Jen Robbins, who was a JMU student at the time. Camp Heanland was a national organization and received support form several college chapters nationwide. Through concerts, movies and other activities where donations were collected, the campus chapter became the leading college chapter in donations to the national organization.
The goal of the organization was to raise awareness about AIDS. Each year a section of the AIDS quilt was brought to the university, offering an opportunity for the entire community to join and learn about those affected.
In 1997 students created a panel to add to the quilt in memory of those who have died from the disease. "The panel we created gave students a chance to join together for something they believe in," said co-president Maureen Odenwelder, J senior. "People think it can't happen to them and we want to show them they need to be careful," she said.

The main event of the year was the Journey of Hope tour. The tour was a national event, bringing children whose lives have been in some way affected by AIDS across the country to talk to others about their experiences.
"I think it really makes people realize how serious the disease is," said co-president Jen Mattison, a senior. "Often times people don't understand it until it is right in front of their eyes."
It was the sixth year the Journey of Hope tour stopped at the university. Four campers, ages 8-16, joined founder of Camp Heartland Neil Willenson to talk about the virus and their personal experiences with it. The campers spoke to a fliU crowd in Grafton-Stovall Theatre at a two-hour assembly, warning them of the dangers of the virus and telling them not to be afraid of those with the disease.
ABC's "20/20," as well as local news crews, came to film the event and interview members of Students for Camp Heartland.
All the funds raised by the campus organization were donated to Camp Heardand. The students therefore relied on outside fimding and donations to run the events.
"It's difficidt sometimes, but for the most part, JMU has been very supportive, " said Odenwelder. "UPB and local businesses have helped many times, and SGA was a major supporter for the Journey of Hope tour this year." ■

Taking his usual route to the Music Building on a t)'pical school day, fresh- man Ben Tomko paid close anendon to the sounds surrounding him. A sumu- lating orchestra of noise from the crunch of pebbles underfoot to the laughter and voices of fellow students charting on their way to class filled his ears with every step as he walked the familiar path to class.
Although born an artist wdth a special ear for music, his highly developed sense of hearing came as a result of a life-changing event during his high school years. After dis- covering the presence of a brain tumor called Pilocytic Astrocytoma, doctors removed the benign growth to save his life v\ith imtortunate consequences. The operadon caused Tomko to lose most of his sight, casting him into virtual darkness.
Not about to let his visual handicap deter him from his dreams, Tomko made plans to attend college and study music. "When I came to JMU, I noticed the congeniality of the campus. And I know it doesn't play a huge role, but the first day I visited, it was a bright and sunny day and every first visit at other college campuses was cloudy and rainy and that made a world of difference, " he said.
With his right eye a filter for light and dark, and his left eye having peripheral capa- bilities only, Tomko's other senses had to compensate for his lost sight. "I have extra sensory perception as a result. I have tremendous hearing and a really strong memory. All my school books are on audio cassette so I have to listen and remember what's said cause I cant read my own handwriting. Sometimes I tape class lectures and sometimes I just Hsten to see what I consume," said Tomko.
An important consideradon in choosing a school came not only in what programs they offered in his area of interest but what kind of services they could provide to accommo- date his disability. "When they found I had a vision problem that they needed to tend to, they gave me all kinds of Office of Disabilities information. They got me in the closest dorm to the Quad so I could get to my classes quicker, they gave me a handicap dorm room, I get to schedule ahead of seniors and I have my choice of where I want to live the rest of the time I'm here."
With the help of a vision counselor, Tomko was able to obtain his schedule early and map out each of his classes, memorizing a daily route. In less than two weeks, Tomko knew the sounds, smells and different environments of campus like the back of his hand. "I know where all of the big buildings are but new buildings are kind of a challenge. When someone tells me they live in a dorm I've never been to, that's going to be kind of interesting gening there," he chuckled.
Quickly assimiladng to campus and making friends was no sweat for Tomko, a self- proclaimed "people person." A music and theater background quickly attracted him to the likes of the Swing Club, the JMU Chorale and the all-male a cappella group The Madison Project. Pledging to do what he coidd for future handicapped students, he also served on the board for su^estions, giving input about the needs of disabled students.
"If you saw me looking around you probably wouldn t know that I have a sight prob- lem. There are a lot of things I can't do but there are probably more things that I can and anything I can do, I want to do. I want to enjoy my independence as much as any other college freshman. Anything I can do during my years of college to help any fiiture blind students, I am ready and willing to put my best toot forward, " he said. ■

Spelling out his last name with students, School of Art and Art History pro- fessor Bill Tate leads his Design Drafting class in an exploration of creativity across the stage of Latimer- Shaeffer Theatre in Duke Hall. An architect, Tate taught interior design and industrial design classes as well as art history. ■ Photo by Carlton Wolfe
He used the words meaning, culture and symbol when talking about the subject he taught. "It is the voice of the people, and understanding it is vital to society, " said professor William Tate.
His riddle was difficult to decipher, but walking to classes most students noticed it. Whether outdoors or inside, no one could escape it. If you were on the Quad, it was mosdy composed of bluestone, sturdy white columns and large, arched windows, creating the "university" look. It is, of course, architecture, what was built to make the spaces in which we lived.
Architecttire involved the "creative process" that Tate described as both fascinating and holy. To tap into the process students did not need to be geniuses according to Tate. Creativity could be cultivated, and it took perseverance, risk and plunging into the unknown, he said.
Studying architecture involved studying culture. Tate saw an illness in our "efficiency culture" that was affecting our souls when he looked at the way Americans built their world aroimd them. To illustrate his point, he quoted Winston Churchill: "First we shape our spaces, then they shape us."
Tate's rich history with architecture included getting his master's from the Uni- versity of Virginia, working with small design firms in Charlotte, N.C., and Williams- burg, Va., and apprenticing and teaching at Lafayette University in Louisiana before remrning to his native state of Virginia to teach. Perhaps his most intriguing experience was working with architect Ricardo Legorreta in Mexico City. Legorreta was "one of the worlds best, " said Tate. Legorreta brought what Tate referred to as the "poetic element into the hotels, corporations and resorts he designed.
Tate, at the university since 1993, taught and practiced architecmre. He described teaching interior architecture and design as not "a course in learning how to arrange furniture, " but rather learning how to "make space that affirms what one is doing."
Furthermore, Tate spent five weeks in Vienna with about 20 students every other summer. These trips provided some of his most memorable times with students. In Vienna he foimd the essence of his ideas were alive, and that his students, "rediscover what a street can be." "Americans don't know what a street is."
Vienna was where he, "cultivated a sense of being" by sitting in monastic chapels and Viennese cafes. He referred to Vienna as a "cafe culture" where one can "learn to waste time." The attunement to detail in Viennese work and con- versations with architects there, combined with all their experiences, made it diffi- cult to return to the States. Students created a book of writings, illustrations and photos after each trip.
Along with teaching, Tate owned his own firm in Staunton, Va., named de nada. It was a small firm that was not specialized but rather networked and collaborated as the projects demanded. He recently worked on a theater and design competitions.
While his practice kept his creativity from rusting, teaching was an experience of discovery that Tate shared with his smdents. Beyond discovery he hoped to ignite their interest in architecture. "The passion must be passed on to the next genetarion," he said. ■
Tite described his inKrior design and architEctuie classes not as "a course in learning how to arrange furniture," but rather, learning how to "make space that affirms what one is doing."
Annid drafting tables, tracing paper and Rapido- graph pens, professor Bill Tate encourages his stu- dents to take risks with their art. Despite any initial trouble with Tate's more abstract way of teaching, students soon welcomed his challenges, forcing them to grow in their creativity and skills. ■ Photo by Carlton Wolfe

a:
A girl struggled to cling to the ru^ed, slippery surface beneath her, as her feet dangled in mid-air. A quick glance down revealed far-away faces eyeing her expec- tantly. The girl was determined to succeed.
"Don't fall down!" yelled a voice from the safety of the second floor. A new climber was on her way to the top, despite the distractions of her lellow students working out upstairs.
While often gazing up at the picturesque mountains that enclose the Shenandoah Valley, few students had the opportunity to learn the skills involved in scaling a mountain. UREC's climbing school, a relatively recent addition to the center's adventure program, was taught by knowledgeable and experienced student rock climbers.
Divided into approximately 22 sessions, the program cost $8 and included class- room and indoor wall instruction. Potential climbers required a partner to belay them, or monitor their safety harness and cord. However, first-time climbers had the option of requesting an instructor to serve as their partner during a "first climb." Climbers who had already taken a wall competency test, which covered the basics of repelling and climbing, or the boulder competency test, which covered safe ground climbing technique, could reserve blocks of time for climbing at any time. Both competency tests had written and demonstration sections. The program also had three skill levels, ranging from beginner to experienced. All levels had the opportimity to learn new techniques or refine their skills in Advanced Technique Clinics through- out the semester. For the climber who had mastered the indoor wall, UREC also offered outdoor trips where students could encounter the "real thing. "
Junior Jason DiCarlo, a climbing school student, had already been outdoor climbing in Colorado and Virginia, but wanted to continue his pursuit of the "chal- lenge" in an indoor venue. "The UREC wall and climbing program offer some of the best indoor climbing. Where else can you safely climb a realistic 30-foot cliff any time of the year and with a limited climbing background?" said DiCarlo.
Another fellow UREC climber, senior Jamie Mackie, had more personal reasons for attending the climbing school. "I did it because I'm scared of heights. I thought it might help me overcome my fear, knowing that even if I fall, I'm safe," said Mackie.
DiCarlo had specific goals in mind for his life after the program. "My amigos and I plan on climbing every week so that we can tackle some mammoth mountains out west."
No matter what their intention, the UREC climbing program's only requirement was a desire to climb. Any student, with any skill or fitness level, was welcome to try their hand at the wall. ■

"Teaching
atJMU
has been
delightfiil;
it's as if I
never left:
college."
• Dr. James
Butler
As students entered the classroom of Dr. James Buder for the first time, some thought they had walked into the wrong room. The dimly lit auditorium featured a movie screen displaying the words, "Good morning." Music began to fill the room as students realized they were in for a treat. "I've been at JMU for 800 years," said Buder, with a broad smile, who estimated he had taught psychology' to 30,700 students. His kindly face and gentle demeanor sometimes hid his dry sense ot humor that he expressed often in class.
Perhaps it was how he intertwined personal experiences in class that made it enjoyable to sit through and even worth crossing South Main Street to Anthony- Seeger Hall. Butler's teaching style developed over the years as technological tools became more advanced. Reflecting on things he did fcfr class in the past, he described them as "pitifiil." Initially he spent about 60 hours putting together a single class presentation, but then was able to make necessary adjustments easily. "I make the class the way I would personally like it presented to me, " said Butler, who realized not all students liked his teaching style.
Although Butler admitted to sometimes repeating the same stories in the three GPSY classes he taught, he enjoyed telling his favorite stories over and over again. "When you find something that is received well, you tend to repeat it," said Butler. "Through the years you collect things in your mind." Buder also liked the large class size, which he found more exciting, because everyone was there for the context of the class.
During class, Butler sat on stage at a lectern, clicking his "sometimes-possessed" mouse through the course material, which included interesting facts, pictures from his trip to Freud's home in Vienna, Austria, and even a picture from his wedding day. He drew on his experiences from his previous job as a clinical psychologist, which he said was "kind of dull." Although he had a number of interesting experiences, Butler knew he did not want to be a psychologist forever.
In his first job at medical school, Buder did not enjoy the "business-like" environ- ment where he found it more practical than academic. He knew when he began teaching that it was what he wanted to do tor the rest of his life. He felt privileged to have the "opportunity to be with intelligent young people, " and he said that JMU gave him a more positive experience than he would have had at any other university. "Teaching at JMU has been delightful; it's like I never left college," said Butler. "JMU students have always been well mannered and delightful; they are a good collection of young people." He hoped that "everybody will end up in a niche where they can be perfectly satisfied with life."
As a smdent at the University of Georgia, he decided to pursue psychology because of a "very charismatic and interesting" psychology professor he had. Psychology was "not a consuming interest" of his, but if it was good enough for his professor, he felt it was good enough for him. He also gave credit to his wife of 37 years for "inspiring him and giving him courage." How they met is an incredible story, but if you wanted to know the ending, you had to take his class. ■
Preparing for his next class, professor of psychology Dr. James Butler sits at his lec- tern in the Anthony-Seeger Hall auditorium. Butler estimated that he taught over 30,700 students at the university during his "800-year" tenure. ■ Photo by Laura Creecy

Jeffrey Bourne
Director of Atfiletics
Though Dr. Linwood Rose was inaugurated as the university's fifth president on Sept. 17, he had already actively held the position for a year. During that time, the entire university administration underwent change. Throughout the year, Rose made several key appointments in order to better reach his vision of the university as the preeminent undergraduate institution in the country.
Shortly after assuming his presidential role in 1998, Rose appointed Dr. Robert Scott, former vice president for student affairs and a 17-year administrative veteran, the vice president for institutional effectiveness, the first in the university's history. Rose created this new position in an effort to help the university better focus its efforts in planning, assessment and evaluation.
After spending more than 20 years at the university as a student, faculty member and administrator, Dr. Mark Warner was appointed to take Scott's place as vice president for student affairs. Also an associate professor of health sciences, Warner was committed to serving student needs, enhancing student learning and facilitating student growth and to providing the best possible programs and services to help students develop the skills that would enable them to enjoy success as individuals, professionals and citizens.
After spending more than six years at Sweet Briar College in Lynchburg, Va., as the vice president for development and college relations, Mitchell Moore was appointed vice president for development and alumni relations in January 1999. At this university, Moore oversaw the approximate $4 million that was raised each year from private funds to benefit both academic and athletic programs. He was also in charge of the most ambitious fund-raising program in the school's history, a goal of an endowment and capital gifts total of $100 million dollars by 2008.

Rose's final appointment was Jeffrey Bourne, previously the executive associate athletics director at Georgia Tech, as the university's new athletics director. At a press conference to introduce Bourne in May 1999, Rose praised the new director. "Jeff Bourne has the combination of background and skills that we are looking for at JMU in terms of administration, financial management, marketing, fiind-raising and most importantly, leading our coaches and student-athletes ... He's committed to excellence, he's committed to the concept of the student-athlete that we know at JMU, he's committed to winning and winning by the rules."
Behind ail of these changes were Rose's goals for the university, set forth in his inaugural address. "Waiting a year between assuming office and being
installed does permit one the luxury of testing and confirming thoughts and ideas before publicly announcing them. I am pleased to say; however, that today I remain steadfast in my acknowledgment and commitment to four goals: to preserve the prominence of the student in all that we do at James Madison University; to secure a higher level of resources to support the faculty, staff and programs of this university; to embrace the concept of institutional effectiveness or simply put, accountability, and; to unite or align us in a common direction so that we might maximize our potential and achieve beyond our expectations and those of others.
"But please keep in mind that our work together is of importance only if it results in improving the quality of educational experience for our smdents." ■

At the very end of Greek Row, farthest from campus, a sorority house appeared quiet — bricked in the same manner as the other Greek houses and seen by some students as the "last" house on Greek Row. But that was not how the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega viewed their house. To them, it was "first" on Greek Row; it just depended on which side of the row you were on when looking at the houses. ■ Separating the bricked structure from all the others on Greek Row was the energy that came from within the walls, the part that only the sisters of AXtl saw. However, when they transferred that energy outside of their house and into the university and Harrisonburg com-munity, it was easy to understand why AXQ, considered themselves "first." ■ Approximately 120 women comprised AXfi which prided itself on stressing academic excellence, leadership, and personal development in each of its members. Since its establishment on Oct. 15, 1885, as a music firaternity, AXQ grew to become a social sorority that was intimately involved in the community tor 12 years. While creating a unique college experience for each of its women with special events such as fall formal, spring semi-formal, sister dates and various mixers, the sorority strove to provide service to the community through its philanthropy which benefited victims of domestic violence. ■ The organization sponsored community projects such as Frisbee Fling, a game of ultimate Frisbee between the fraternities on campus. Ten teams entered the fiind-raiser and each was responsible for raising $50. Members of AXQ acted as "coaches" for the fraternity teams providing them with breakfast the morning of the event and T-shirts with their fraternity letters. The money raised went to First Step, a shelter located in downtown Harrisonburg that served victims of domestic violence. Sigma Chi won the annual event that successfully raised $500. ■ AXQ 's commimity service extended into the spring as the sisters collected canned goods to benefit Great Hunger Clean-up, an organization that donated food to battered women shelters. As women bound by love, friendship, and sisterhood, the members of AXQ united within a house made of brick at the end of Greek Row, but "first" in the hearts of a community. ■ by Philip Davies

For the second year, the business fraternity's fund-raiser succeeded in benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Harrisonburg. ■ "Unfortunately, the brothers and pledgee are ineligible to win the tuition money, but if I were randomly walking by and noticed the raffle, I would definitely take my chances at winning. My parents would love any contribution towards my education!" said Liz Boyer. Along with the raffle, AKT also did fiind- raising at football games and Convocation Center Clean Up after basketball games. ■ AKT chapter, Nu Psi, was chartered November 1991. Individuals who believed in the importance of business and learning the necessary skills to advance in the business environment established the chapter. Activities the brothers did to obtain those skills involved hosting a variety of professional speakers who helped educate them about their career choices. They also were involved in the community through organizations such as Big Brodiers Big Sisters and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. ■ Although a professional business fraternity, there were numerous activities that were purely for fun, where brothers acted like true friends instead of business partners. Everyone worked toward common career goals, yet having fun was not completely out of the picture. A closer look at AKH' showed that, like any other organization, people were anxious to meet others and hoped to make friendships that would last a life- time. ■ by Melissa Marie Bates

Sitting outside looking down on the waters of Newman Lake, she was surrounded by hundreds of friends and plenty of delicious food. Then her mother said, "Honey, don't eat that, it's not good for you." ■ This was the scene on the second day of Parents Weekend at the Alpha Phi sorority house. Since the sorority was chartered on campus in 1991, it held its annual Parents Weekend Luncheon. ■ "Each year we get about 220 people," said vice president of marketing Cindy Parekh. "We have about that many this year." ■ Invitations were sent out to parents inviting them to come meet the sisters of the sorority. The event was catered by Brooklyn's Deli. ■ Introducing her family to her AO sisters for the first time was sophomore Jill McGainey. McGainey's parents Cindy and Rob were very pleased with the sorority. "She did it (pledged) on her own pretty much," said Mrs. McGainey. "We didn't discourage it, we supported it." ■ "They were worried with it being too time consuming, but now that I am done with pledging they are really happy about it, " said McGainey. ■ Other events A<I> was involved in included: volunteering at The Litde Grill Soup Kitchen, helping with local day care clean-up, and a skate-a-thon with the area chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters. They also participated in a Thanksgiving food drive, and each year they adopted a local family for Christmas. ■ When A$ sisters had finished helping the community they had a chance to get down and boogie at one of their dances. ■ "We have one formal a year, and four semi-formals, two each semester," said director of new member education Christianna Lewis. ■ Last year also marked the third consecutive year that Miss Madison honors had been bestowed on a sister of A4>. Erin Uyttewal, senior class president, was awarded the distinction during the Parents Weekend football game. ■ by Robyn Gerstenslager

Inspired by the cardinal principles of leadership, friendship and service, members of Alpha Phi Omega s chapter, Chi Gamma, volunteered their time and talents to the university and the Harrisonburg communit)' through regular service pro- jects during the year. ■ With approximately 70 diligent mem- bers and many active alumni, AOQ offered a wide range of service oppormnitie,s to organizations, including Special 01)111- pics. Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Animals, and the Association for Retarded Citizens. Brothers devoted an entire weekend in the spring and fall to service activities including food drives, spending time with the elderly and raising money for A4>t2 s national philanthropy, the Make-A-Wish Foun- dation®. ■ Social events such as the fall semiformal, alumni weekend and retreats brought brothers together, developing and strengthening friendships. ■ By encouraging its members to assume leadership roles in other organizations, inspiring them to appreciate each other as brothers and friends and providing service to the campus and, Harrisonburg, AOQ set an example of dedication to the community. ■ by Christina Cook

Dressed as ladybugs, farmers and even as a beat-up hockey player, the group of Alpha Sigma Alpha sisters climbed the front steps of the house. The Harrisonburg neighborhood was quiet except for their nervous chatter and laughter. Despite their age and that it was a few days before Halloween, the women knocked on the door, paper bags in hand. "Trick or Treat." But it wasn't candy they wanted. ■ In cooperation with Delta Chi fraternity, ASA collected canned goods on behalf of Mercy House as one of their service projects. Groups of five to 10 sisters and brothers covered different areas of the Harrisonburg community for the food drive. The trick-or-treating for others soon became a mini- competition within the sorority, trying to see who could collect the most canned goods. "We were really excited to see if our group did well compared to everyone else. We coUeaed so many bags," said sophomore Katie Ferragut. In the end, ASA alone had collected over 30 bags of goods. ■ Yet the canned food collection was just one of many service projects that the sorority planned for the year. In the spring, ASA sponsored it's first alcohol awareness week in an effort to educate stu- dents on the dangers of drinking. The week included several different activities including a drink-out, where students pledged not to drink for certain lengths of time. ■ Through service projects and various philanthropies such as these in addition to social activities, ASA strove to meet their social, spiritual, physical and intellectual goals. Each sister's commitment and enthusiasm in accomplishing these goals was noticed on campus and throughout the community, even if they were dressed as a ladybug. ■ By Leah Bailey and Kelly Estes

The sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau celebrated their sorority's 100"'' anni- versary on Nov. 4, 1999. From its inception in Ypsilanti, Mich., the purpose of the sorority was to promote the ethical, cultural and social development of its members. ■ Following a successful recruitment, new members participated in a variety of activities, which fostered lasting friendships and continuing tradition. Events included comp- letion of a challenging rope course at Camp Horizons, weekend bar- becues at the house and sponsorship of a Halloween party for a local retirement home. The women also combined efforts to place third in the float competition in the Homecoming Parade. ■ With over 140 members, the chapter was easily able to devote their time and energy into a number of community service projects. Last year, they hosted the first AIDS Walk in Harrisonburg, which raised $6,000 for the Valley AIDS Network and Camp Heartland. ■ In addition, sisters lent support to their national philanthropy. Pine Mountain Settlement School, located in Harlan Counry, KY. Serving its community as a boarding school, work-education center, health-care facility, farm and supporter of local handicraft and musical skills, the school often needed renovations. Last summer, several sisters traveled to the school to offer assistance. They even produced an educational video, documenting their adventures to send to other chapters. ■ by Jennifer Renee Smith

Community service and social programs were the essence of criminal justice, providing a just solution to the criminal element. The l^ambda Mu Upsilon chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association was committed to social programs such as D.A.R.E. (Drug and Alcohol Resistance Education). The traternity worked closely with the Harrisonburg Police Department, participating in the annual D.A.R.E. Fair. The group fingerprinted children for assistance in kidnapping or missing person cases. ■ The national ACJA was founded in 1937 at University of California at Berkley. Founded in the mid-70s, the JMU chapter of the national fraternity was committed to the advancement of careers in criminal justice fields, education on criminal justice subjects and community service.

society of interior designers
While the growth of the university's population gained the school more recognition, it also caused many problems for students in over-crowded majors. The American Society of Interior Designers was one group that sought to solve some of these problems. ■ Nationally foimded in 1975 from the merger of the American Institute ot Designers and the National Society of Interior Designers, ASID was the oldest and largest professional organization for interior designers. The organization was created with the purpose of providing a network between interior design students and professionals in the field. ■ Like most academic programs, the School of Art and Art History felt the strains of over- population. In fact, the school's enrollment rose by 40 percent from the fall 1995 to the fall 1999, yet its resources increased by a much smaller percentage. ■ A list of concerns was compiled: inadequate workspace, conflicting teaching methods of the faculty, an obsolete resource library, a poor computer lab and an ineffective curriculum. In November, the members ot ASID met with Dr. Cole Welter, the director of the School of Art and Art History. Welter agreed that the increased enrollment was a problem all over campus and committed him- self to work toward making a change within the department. ■ The meeting started the communication between the students and faculty with the common purpose of improving the students' college education experience. ■ To bring about further individual growth, members also participated in ASID career days in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the national organization. These programs provided students the oppor- tunity to interact with professional designers, expand their knowledge of interior design and introduce them to the many career options open to interior design students. ■ by Kara Carpenter

As Western culture recovered from New Year's celebrations in January, Asia prepared to celebrate the year of the dragon on Feb. 5, 2000. The Asian Student Union prepared to celebrate their first lunar new year festival as a campus-wide event. ■ "The year of the dragon was very important and symbolic to the Chinese culture," said Stephen "Teach " Roberts, president of ASU. Through events like the lunar new-year celebration, ASU educated students and the surroimding community about Asian cultures. ASU also raised money and collected food for social-service centers and churches in the community. ■ "We want to spread Asian awareness and promote Asian unity on campus, said Roberts. ASU served as an "umbrella" for other Asian cultures. "Many people forget how large Asia is, and that it includes people not just from Korea, China or Japan," said Roberts. ASU spread awareness by bringing guest speakers to the imiversity. ■ "We provide cidtural presentations at meetings to educate the club," said historian-Tina Chen. ■ by Christy Markva

The ROTC program consisted of physical training, skill, leadership and friendship. A wide range of courses was available through ROTC. One of the courses offered by the program was the leadership lab. From repelling off Eagle Hall to learning to stand at attention, students taking the leadership lab experienced a new facet of ROTC each week. ■ ROTC provided uniforms and gear for the semester free of charge to students. Those students who enrolled in the class were called cadets. ■ Each week, cadets learned new tactics in many different simulations. One of the labs was called situadonal training exercise (STX, pronounced sticks) that trained cadets how to lead a squad/platoon in a mission. Entering the arboretum, the cadets broke up into two different squads, A and B, where they were taught communication strategies and formations to best defend themselves while traveling in the woods. ROTC students learned how to communicate via hand and arm signals and practiced the formations before an aaual drill. ■ The cadets headed to the woods where the two groups split into different areas. Each group broke into two smaller groups to create a better survival formation. Before searching for the enemy, a plan of attack was established. Cadets received their mission for the day: to find and destroy the Backstreet Boys fan club. The plan of attack was mapped out showing the two squads' formations so that everyone in the mission would understand their purpose. Cadets spread out searching for the enemy, protecting themselves with dummy M- 16 rifles. ■ Each cadet received instruaions from their squad leader to cover their squad members if attacked. While squad A flanked the enemy, squad B stayed behind, their guns ready. Squad A attacked and B waited until the signal to join the battle. The mission was successful. The Backstreet Boys fan club was destroyed and there were no cadet casualties. Like every other ROTC lab, the two squads were called to attention and were dismissed. ■ byAnneWhitiey

Penning exactly what the Bluestone was all about was a surprisingly difficult task. More than just a handful of individuals responsible for taking mug shots and capturing the cheesy events on campus, the following phrase best described an activity taken up by a number of dedicated, hard-working college students: Yearbook is life. ■ This statement rang true not only because the staff was issued the task of documenting the lives of college students in athletics, academics and university living, but because the monumental responsibility to do the job well became a daily quest in the lives of its editors, section producers, photographers and writers. They lived, breathed and dreamed Bluestone as if it was part of their daily sustenance, a condition of living. ■ After just one month of school, regular staff members were easily identifiable. They were the individuals hustling from place to place in typical yearbook attire consisting of a camera bag, notepad ajid permanendy sporting the cool "authorization badge" that allowed them access to campus events. ■ Having obtained a permanent squint caused by staring at computer screens, or the mellow yellow walls of the yearbook offiQe, and going on ridiculously little sleep, they were the zombies who attended class with blank stares only to come alive an hour later for a story assignment. Yearbook members could concentrate during a monster truck rally, having trained themselves to block out everything as a result of being located next to the colorfiil music studios of WXJM. These individuals were a fearless, talented breed of college student who went the distance to produce a quality publication in the name of great journalism. ■ Without a doubt, this book was made possible by the blood (yes, there was a paper cut or two), sweat and tears of students willing to make sacrifices in order to create an award-winning depiction of student life at James Madison University. Despite the long hours and sleepless nights spent in Anthony-Seeger Hall, the Bluestone staff proudly created the polished book before you, hoping it would be as much a representation of students' lives as it was of theirs. ■ by Christina Cook

crusade for christ
Perhaps you have seen people congregating for Bible studies in residence halls, or maybe you took one of their surveys. They might even have helped you move into your residence hall freshman year. Whatever the case, it's almost guaranteed that you met at least one of the 400 members of Campus Crusade for Christ. ■ One ot the largest Christian ministries on campus. Crusade encouraged the student body to think about God and spirituality. ■ "We are a movement, not just a club, " explained junior Jeff Soplop, Crusade's official large-group master of ceremonies. "Our goal is to give every student at JMU the opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ." ■ Crusade summarized their vision in the phrase "Win, Build, Send." ■ "Win," according to senior Aspa Christodoulou, referred to their goal of "providing multiple opportunities for everybody on campus to hear about Jesus Christ before they graduate." They did this through spiritual surveys, mailbox flyers and discussion groups in the residence halls. ■ "Build" referred to Crusade's desire "for every Christian to grow in their faith." They accomplished this through Bible studies, conferences with Bible study leaders and Primetime, the large.group meeting. Nearly every day of the week Crusade offered some meeting for members to learn and fellowship. ■ "Send" demon- strated Crusaders intense dedication to their cause. Not only were they encouraged to share their faith with students, but many took their message around the world, on either 10-week or one-year commit- ments. Christodoulou emphasized, "Our goal is not to boost our numbers, but to hear the message that Jesus Christ preached 2,000 years ago." ■ "We try to provide comfortable environments where people can tell about their beliefs. Residence hall programs give stu- dents opportunities to share their opinions about God," Christodoulou said. ■ Senior Sherry Montgomery, a Bible study leader, explained the Crusade survey: "They encourage students to think about where they are spiritually. We then have an oppormnity to share the Christian faith. " ■ Crusaders explained Christianity by using the "Four Spiritual Laws. " These outlined mankind's need for God and Christ's sacrifice. "I find most people are receptive to taking the surveys, for spirituality is such an important issue in everyone's life," said Montgomery. ■ by Christianne Crabtree
Informational pamphlets help Crusaders share their message. In addition to sharing their faith with fellow students, many members spread their message around the world through either 1 0-week or one-year commitments. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid

BSA members were among many who joined in the traditional songs of Kwanzaa at a special celebration in PC Ballroom on Dec. 1 . BSA sponsored parties and speakers during the year to bring together African- American students. • Photo by Kirstin Reid
The PC Ballroom was filled with members of the Black Student Alliance and other campus organizations on Dec. 1 for the cele- bration of Kwanzaa. As the festivities began, the students wel- comed each other with the traditional Kwanzaa greeting in Swahili: "Habari Gani?" "Njema." ("What is the news?" "Well.") ■ "Celebrating Kwanzaa demonstrated our pride in our African heritage," said Chris Jones, the vice president of BSA and the master of ceremonies. ■ Founded over 20 years ago, BSA was created as a support group for African-American students. Yet by the 1990s, it developed into a group dedicated to promoting diversity on campus. ■ Along with celebrating Kwanzaa, BSA also took part in a variety of activities throughout the year. During the beginning of the year, students gathered at UREC for the annual Back to School Pool Party, while the end of the year was marked by a BSA Banquet. ■ by Kara Carpenter

campus ministry
Under the starry November sky, nearly 200 students formed a circle. They held candles, sang hymns and read Scripture. With lifted voices. Catholics, Protestants, Jews and even members of the Baha'i faith united together to thank God for His many blessings. Putting aside their religious differences, these students shared prayers and then processed down Main Street to eat Thanksgiving dinner. ■ Behind the event were members of Catholic Campus Ministry. For weeks they planned and prepared to make the eighth annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Sunday Supper a success. "We've baked 35 pies in the past two days!" exclaimed Elizabeth Cox, the CCM hospitality chairperson. "I'm just so excited that people wanted to come out. The basic point is that we have more in common than apart." ■ Father John Grace echoed the sentiment when he welcomed everyone to the dinner. "The spirit behind this dinner ... is that it's very hard to cross lines. So we thought, why don't we use something that already cro.sses lines — the Thanksgiving holiday. All religious groups have gratitude as the core of their faith. It has a way of expanding the love and power of life. Thanksgiving is the test way of bringing us all together. " ■ The dinner did bring everyone together. Not only did CCM use the night to encourage unity, but they also raised money through donations to help needy families during the holidays. ■ Completely student-led, CCM's mission stated, "Recognizing and responding to our call within the universal Catholic faith, we come together as a community centered on the experience of Christ, serving God through our actions while bearing witness to others as we grow in our awareness and understanding of our relation- ship with Christ. " ■ "It's a prett)' dedicated group, " explained Cox. "We had so many people wanting to help that we had to send many of them home. There just wasn't enough to do." ■ This dedication paid off as students from all faiths left the CCM House not only physically, but spiritually and mentally full. Thanks to the members of CCM, all who participated were reminded of the true meaning of Thanksgiving: unit)' and gratitude. ■ by Christianne Crabtree

The Head Start Program was established for children who would benefit from literally getting a head start on their education. Learning colors, numbers and letters were typical activities for children at Spotswood Elementary School. But what may be not have been rypical in this preldndergarten classroom were the translators present for the Spanish-speaking children. Club Latino, in its fourth year at the university, sent members twice each week to the elementary school to volunteer as translators for the Spanish-speaking students. ■ "We help them assimilate, " said junior Maggie Ortiz, a volunteer at Spotswood who served as the president of Club Latino. She said it was often difficult for the children because English was not spoken in their homes, and a majorit)' of the children were first generation Mexicans. ■ "A lot of the kids don't understand what the teacher is saying," said Ortiz. Members helped both students and teachers with situations that were frustrating because of the language barrier. The children were taught to speak enough English to enable them to enter kindergarten. They were then required to take a test to determine whether they should stay behind or be promoted. ■ Aside from their volunteer work. Club Latino provided the campus community with a forum to learn about and gain interest in Latino culture. It was the only organization on campus that dedicated time to the recruitment of Latinos. In addition to their work on campus, Club Latino members allowed Harrisonburg High School students to "shadow" them for a day. A highlight of the fall semester was "Salsavengue!," a time for students to experience the Latino culture first-hand through dance and music. ■ by Christy Markva

As the wheels of the school bus squeaked to a stop, thitd-gtader Kirsten Smith was eager to get inside. Entering through the doors of the old brick building, each child moved toward a row of gray lockers, shoving bags and coats into the tiny vertical spaces. Having taken care of her belongings. Smith ran to the education room with her books. Recognizing the friendly smile of junior Beth Shropshire, Smith smiled and took her place at her desk, ready to begin her homework. ■ Each Wednes- day from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., the sisters of Delta Delta Delta volunteered their time at Kid's Kitchen for the Boys and Girls Club of Harrison- burg. Children ranging in age from 4- 1 7 darted in and out of the rooms of the converted Lucy Simms School, trying to decide how to spend their time imtil dinner was served. The sisters of Tri-Delta were divided among the rooms. While one prepared the evening meal in the kitchen, another was in the gymnasium leading a game of basketball. Other sisters helped children with their homework. ■ "The kids are from many different backgrounds so it's nice to see some diversity from the cookie cutter image of JMU," said junior Lisa Allgaier. ■ Kid's Kitchen gave AAA members a chance to interaa with the kids while strengthening their sisterhood. "Our main objective is to reach out to the community and do service. Volunteering is an awesome way to help out. Since oiu" sisterhood is such a diverse group of people, our commitment to service is a common goal that brings us together," said Allgaier. ■ "I usually spend my time in the education room. They really look up to you and love to have us there," said Shropshire. "College smdents are so consumed with work and friends that its satisfying to be of service to someone else." ■ The kids' reactions were ample evidence that the sisters' presence was much appreciated. "I love the kids and being able to hang out with them," said Allgaier. ■ by Christina Cook

Junior Elise Hulings, master of ceremonies, gracefully took the stage as the Mr./Miss Anchorsplash competition began. Yet the competition's beginning simply marked the ending of months of planning for the annual Anchorsplash events which benefited Service for Sight, an organization that serves blind children. ■ Delta Gamma participated in many philanthropic events, but their main focus was the annual Anchorsplash. The most participated philanthropy on campus, AF's Anchorsplash was the first event ever held on campus that involved the entire Greek community. An annual success, the event raised almost $5000. ■ The events of the weeklong Anchorsplash included a basketball tournament, a volleyball tournament. Most Beautiful Eyes, a penny wars contest on The Commons, and a Mr./Miss Anchorsplash contest. Within the Mr./Miss Anchorsplash contest there were three events: best legs, best dressed and a lip sync. To win Anchorsplash, an organization accumulated points by participating in and winning the events throughout the week. ■ In addition to their service projects, Ar also planned numerous social activities throughout the year.

Through the cold autumn eves, the frosty mornings, and the crisp afternoons of the last week in October, the distinct sound of wooden boards rolling along cement echoed against the brick walls of Gibbons Hall and Warren Campus Center. Sitting on opposite sides of a large plank, the brothers of Delta Sigma Pi weathered Mother Nature for 168 hours straight, collecting donations for the Michael Matthew Brown Scholarship in a seesaw-athon. ■ Brown, a brother of AZFI who died of cancer in 1992, inspired the brotherhood of AZO to begin a scholarship in his honor. It was awarded to any business student with at least a 3.25 grade point average who best exemplified the ideals of integrity, courage and honesty. "Michael was a great role model with awesome character. He really persevered to the end and came out to everything he could for the fraternity despite his illness," said jimior Emily Hess. ■ The weeklong fund-raising event commenced with a candlelight vigil where brothers read poems, sang songs and lit the white candle that would sit next to the donations box. Brothers were required to seesaw for five hours each throughout the week. Days were divided into one- hour shifts. ■ Wrapped in brown paper and sitting on a nearby picnic table, the donations box invited both curious and informed students to contribute what they coiJd for a worthy cause. The brotherhood raised over $300 toward the scholarship through donations on The Commons alone. ■ "A majority of the money we raise comes from parents, alumni and corporations that we send letters to. Our goal this year is $10,000 but a small ponion of that comes from student donations," said fund-raising coordinator Kelly Fitzpatrick. ■ Demonstrating the spirit of its namesake, the brothers of AZO fought the elements just as Michael Matthew Brown fought cancer. "The brotherhood feels that we're giving something back to JMU through this scholarship. Michael represented everything that we're trying to be and it's in his memory that we hope to raise whatever we can for a deserving student, " said junior Joe Mahaney. ■ by Christina Cook

They ought to be known as the "Queens of the Step Show," but in- stead they are called Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. In what seems to have become a tradition, the women took home the $500 first prize in the annual Homecoming Stepshow marking their fifth consecutive win. ■ The show, held the Saturday night of Homecoming Weekend, invited fraternities and sororities from Virginia universities to participate in the weekend's events while welcoming back alumni. ■ As in previous years, the show was organized by the Black Greek Caucus, an organ- ization consisting of members from each of the historically black Greek organizations at the university. Extensive preparation for the event began in the summer with brainstorming for the theme. For the 1 999 Stepshow, AZ0 made their theme "Delta's Angels, " a spin-off of "Charlie's Angels." ■ Step mistress junior Danielle Eure choreo- graphed a routine that emphasized the skill and attitude of the group and taught the moves to the other members. ■ "Practice for the show started the week we came back to school for the semester and lasted up until the night of the performance," said senior and chapter presi- dent Sabrina Settles. ■ AZ0 had a membership of 14 and new members were initiated in spring 1999. In addition to the popular stepshow, the sorority planned two University Sundays, church services that were held on campus. They scheduled regular social events such as the Pre-Exam Study Break the weekend before first semester final exams. ALQ provided movies, games and snacks to help students unwind. ■ "Students get somewhat stressed during exam time," said Settles.

team
Spending four hours of the week in a barn was not a usual activity for students. After years of silence, the newly- reformed Equestrian Team entered their first Intercollegiate Horse Show with high hopes. In the show at Virginia Tech, the riders placed fifth out of the nine schools in attendance. Competing against the two previous national champions, the team placed third in their second show. ■ Under the supervision of coach Sarah Irvine, the team was expected to do well. Irvine coached Southen Virginia College to nationals multiple times. ■ In 1981, over 200 schools participated in the JMU Invitational. The university won first prize. Having once had a winning team in the 1970s and '80s, the Equestrian Club was revived in March 1999. Their roster tallied 50 women. According to club president Laura Corswandt, at least 40 to 45 of the women had extensive show experience. Sophomore Corswandt initiated the return of the Equestrian Club, having missed horseback riding her first year at college. ■ The club met twice a week and each rider had lessons about four hours each week. The riders used a barn at Oak Manor Riding Stables in Weyers Cave, about 20 minutes fi-om Harrisonburg, for lessons and practices. The owners, veterinarians Dave and Ann Gardner, predicted the university's future return to national championship status. According to them, Irvine was one ot the best riding coaches in the country. ■ Even though there were 50 riders in the club, only about 1 5 people could compete in each show. The show was limited by the number of horses the hosting school had available. The group averaged about three to five shows a semester where the riders competed on a rotating basis. ■ "I just love the fact that we're doing so well," said Corswandt, who credited Irvine with much of their success. According to Corswandt, the club hoped to implement a condi- tioning routine in the future, a change that could only enhance the group's newfound success. ■ by Anna Lucas

Running across the anificiaJ turt of the UREC practice field, members of the Field Hockey Club shouted their familiar calls. "Flat!" "Through!" and "Diagonal!" signaled their teammates. After an intense workout of drills, running and conditioning, the team divided into two sections to scrimmage. ■ Hard work and dedication paid off for the 40 members of the Field Hockey Club. They competed within the National Field Hockey League while building friendships. "One of the imique things about our club is that with an unusually large team like ours, you meet a lot of people and end up spending lots of time together and creating close friendships," said president Sarah Ann 111. ■ "We are very committed to the spon, but we cater practices to balance the fun of practice with the goal of winning. It's equally competitive and non-competitive for those who take the spon seriously or just want to have fun," said 111. ■ by Christina Cook

Sporting an unusual silver crown adorned with tampons that pointed toward the sky, junior Kristin Garvin was a student with an interesting message. She represented EQUAL, an organization dedicated to feminism and its causes, on Student Organization Night. ■ That evening, EQUAL and its members introduced their anti-tampon campaign. "Our movement is to promote alternatives to tampons. Tampons contain poisonous dioxins that hun women and create enormous amounts of waste," said senior Megan Pugh. ■ Hoping to dispel common mis- conceptions about feminism, the 20 members of EQUAL par- ticipated in campaigns to raise awareness of women's issues while educating the student body about the positive aspects of their organization. "We want to bring people into feminism and make them aware of the issues that threaten equality. We're one of the more radical groups on campus but we're very involved," said senior Kathleen Cochran. ■ EQUAL's primary focus was to educate. "We spend a lot of time talking about eating disorders and how women shouldn't focus on their body to be comfortable. It's an issue that affects a lot of college-aged women," said Pugh. ■ True to their credo, EQUAL worked to make their presence on campus known by all. "EQUAL wants freedom from oppression for womyn near and far ... and so we act the way we do." ■ by Christina Cook

Whether you liked an '80s ballad, an up-beat dance tune, or felt in the mood for a serenade, students needed to look no fijrther than the a cappella group Exit 245 for their unplugged listening pleasure. For the 17 members whose smooth harmonies and suave stage presence helped them capture a loyal university following, hard work was a small price to pay for the success they achieved. ■ Founded in the fall of 1998, Exit 245 quickly made a name lor themselves, building on the popularity of other a cappella groups such as The Madison Project. Now with two years exposure and a membership of 17, they had performed in Richmond, the University of Virginia, and Mary Baldwin College with high hopes of traveling to Spain and other foreign countries. After recording at Montana Studios last siunmer in Plichmond, they released their first CD, a self-titled album with 13 of their popular performance numbers. ■ From treshmen to seniors, the men were a well-mixed group who shared a common love of music. Each member dedicated no less than five hours a week to a group practice while also committing time to performances and individual practices. In order to achieve perfect harmony within their group. Exit 245 used a computer program called Rhapsody to help each member learn his distinctive tone for each song. ■ Like most concerts, there was extensive preparation before every show. Gracious UPB volunteers set up sound equipment enabling the group to do a soimd check an hoiu--and-a-half before each show. Besides their relentless dedication, the group was serious about the academic success of its members. The men of Exit 245 had to maintain a 2.5 grade point average to stay with the group while other a cappella groups had to maintain a 2.0. ■ Exit 245 elected officers and followed the rules established in their constitution. The group searched for new voices each year with auditions in the fall inviting any male student with a passion for singing to display their talent. Despite its short history. Exit 245 rose to success during their second year. ■ by Anne Whitley

On a chilly December evening the week before exams, Flute Club members junior Lori Hoffman and senior Jackie Daniel wandered through the Ashby Crossing apartment complex searching for their first paid "gig" of the day. With their flutes and sheet music in tow, they arrived at their destination with rosy cheeks from the cold night air, their faces recalling a portrait of carolers making their holiday rounds through the neighborhood. After rechecking the address, Jackie mumbled, "I hope that someone's home," just as footsteps approached the door. ■ Surprised sophomore Amber Pringle and her grinning boyfriend Scott Freda, also a sophomore (who had arranged the musical serenade for his girlfriend), met the two flutists at the door. After introductions, the pair made their way into the living room, set up their music stand and tuned their instruments. With Daniel's cue, the holiday music began as Freda and Pringle held one another. ■ Holiday duets, the biggest and most popular endeavor for the members of the Flute Club, took place one week prior to exams. For $1 each, any student or faculty member could purchase two songs by a pair of flutists for any- one they chose. Members traveled to residence halls, apartments and houses across Harrisonburg to bring the spirit of the holiday season into people's lives while sharing their love of music. ■ Beginning in the fall, the 35 members of the Flute Club grew to include the JMU Flute Choir and several nonmusic majors also. During its 25* anniversary as a university club, its membership promoted awareness and appreciation of music written for the flute and flute performance while working to enhance music education. ■ The Flute Club had the honor of performing in England as one of the guest artists at the Royal Conservatory in Birmingham. In addition to the widely known holiday duets, the members also sponsored PAN-O-RAMA IV, a weekend of guest artists, concerts, workshops and exhibits to enhance flute performance and education. The event was open to high school and middle school flute students, parents and teachers from all over the country and was an event of which the club was especially proud. ■ by Christina Cook

With the sole purpose of promoting the arts at the university through tri-annual publications and arts events, gardy loo strongly encouraged anyone and everyone to be a part of their program. The magazine began three years ago by students who believed a student-run publi- cation was a great way for campus arts to be represented. Since that time, it grew vasdy to become an arts-endorsing organization. "Gardy loo is JMU's premiere arts magazine," said editor Tim Hartman. "We strive to challenge the reader, while supporting the student artists at JMU. Gardy loo is a great outlet for the artistic community. We seek to maintain an environment of artistic support and encouragement." ■ There were approximately 30 members involved in gardy loo, but students of all majors were encouraged to join the staff. There was a basic applicadon process that involved a written statement and an inter- view. "Anybody at JMU should feel like they are a part of gardy loo. We take suggestions from anyone and hope that the artistic community feels comfortable approaching gardy loo with ideas," said Hartman. Some fijnctions gardy loo was involved in were the sponsoring of Art Week, began spring 1998, that brought together students within the arts, and the sponsoring of poetry readings throughout the year which involved both students and faculty. ■ Last year the magazine looked to sponsor a movie at Grafton-Stovall Theatre, invite a speaker and host a course of events from the art, dance and music departments. The staff felt that gardy loo su^ested a perfea alternadve to The Breeze for publishing students' work. "We're like a public radio in a magazine," said Hartman. ■ by Brooke Hoxie

It stared down from the walls of every academic building. Announcing itself on exams, it was spelled out in clear black and white type. It was likely one of the first things discussed at the beginning of each semester. Yet the familiar words of the Honor Code were overlooked. The members of the Honor Council knew the words by heart, pledging to incorporate aca- demic integrit)' and honor in all areas ot the imiversity commu- nity. ■ Forty students and 50 faciJty assisted the five executive board members. Students found in violation of the Honor Code were put on trial for academic misconduCT before a panel of seven individuals. ■ The Honor Council sponsored the spring Honor Awareness week, highlighted by guest speakers, literature and the Ethics Bowl. "In the bowl, two teams such as ROTC and SGA are pitted against one another by giving them a questionable scenario about a student and are asked to judge whether his or her actions are honorable," said McDonough. ■ The Honor Council pledged to promote an academically sound environment through effective and progressive imple- mentation of its Honor Code. ■ by Christina Cook

Ours is an award winning chapter and the only organization at JMU whose main focus is communication," said president Salonika Sethi, a senior. ■ "We've tried to do more social things this year so that members get to know one another really well. Events like our pizza party, spaghetti dinner and bagel sales helped foster friendships," said publications direaor Kelly ReckelhofF, also a senior. ■ A couple times each month, LABC recruited speakers from communication and busi- ness fields to talk before the organization about interviewing skills, business etiquette and communications consulting. The LABC Career Fair was the main project coordinated by the organization. The event was dedicated solely to providing SCOM majors with job opportunities and internships. ■ "We wanted to do something specifically aimed at SCOM majors where they would have the opportunity to find intern- ships and things that interest them unlike the big career fair that is held for everyone. This fair is one of our biggest projects," said Reckelhoff.
■ Several "shadow days " were also sponsored by the group in which students went into Washington, D.C., and areas of Northern Virginia to follow someone in the business or communications field for a day.

order
Kappa Alpha Order was a unique organization that differed from the traditional sense of a fraternity. The Order functioned by accepting members with similar charaaeristics and bringing out their individuality rather than accepting multiple characteristics and then molding them once they became a member. KA was a chartered in 1995 and grew to approximately 80 members. ■ Besides social functions, the organi- zation's philanthropy was with muscular dystrophy, not to mention their help with Habitat for Humanity. Their community involvement also spread to volunteering at a soup kitchen at a local Baptist Church every Saturday morning. ■ KA participated in both fall and spring rush. There was no restriction on the number of pledges taken. The number depended on the individual's contribution to the fraternity, not just to meet the need of the fraternity. Though being a part of an organization was hilfilling socially, KA was strong in both organization and leadership. The last three presidents were elected during their sophomore year. ■ Similar leadership was cultivated within pledge classes. Iota pledge class president Kyle Snow was voted unanimously by his fellow pledge brothers. ■ One of KA's greatest achievements was receiving the Marshall Award. The award commended excellence to a few select chapters out of 130 in the nation. Determining qualities included scholarship, membership, finance, philanthropy and com- mimity service. President Bill Greenway received the award last simimer in New Orleans at Kappa Alpha's Annual National Convention. ■ Another KA accomplishment was their involvement in piloting the Crusade Program. The member education program was new among fraternities and helped continue the building experience of brotherhood and individuality. It was designed to better educate members in areas of KA's history, leadership both inside and outside ot the group and career planning for each individual future. So far, twenty of the 130 charters are crusade charters. ■ by Anne Whitley

Fellowship, leadership, scholarship and service were the ideals on which Kappa Delta Rho was founded. The fraternity strove to attain these goals and instill its values in new chapter members. ■ Founded in 1905, KAP was chanered at the university in 1991. Comprised of 30 members, KAP conducted business from their house on South Main Street. ■ The strength of its diverse brotherhood was the cornerstone of the fraternity and the men developed the group's commitment to improving the community through service, according to KAP presi- dent Ariel Gonzalez, a senior. ■ KAP participated in numerous service events in which they involved both the campus and the Harrisonburg communities. The brothers of the fraternity volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club of Harrisonburg where they organized a costume contest raising over Si 000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rockingham County. ■ First place awards were bestowed upon KAP for being the overall champion of Greek Week 1999 in addition to winning the Greek Sing competition. To add to their tradition of excellence, recent graduate Mo Mahmood was named Outstanding Senior and Gonzalez was named Outstanding Volunteer for the 1998-1999 academic year. ■ by Meg Simone

Kappa Pi was a coeducational honor fraternity which united qualified art and art history majors with common interests and goals. KH and its members supported the advancement of art in the community and in the studio. ■ The fraternity encouraged interaction among art students as well as excellence in art. The Gamma Kappa chapter's 45 members have always been involved in bringing in new students and trying to lead the campus community of visual artists. Anyone who demonstrated achievement in art could join Kappa Pi; however, members were usually art or art history majors or minors. ■ The honor fraternity sponsored service projects, fund-raisers, social events and field trips. In addition, the group tried to provide work from the most talented artists to the art lovers of the community. Kappa Pi members were also involved in JMU Portfolio Review Days where they critiqued the art portfolios of seniors to give them advice and guidance. Additionally, the group attended Very Special Arts Festivals and other art-related events. ■ by Gail Cannis

connection
Working at Madison Connection involved much more than calling and asking alumni and parents for money. Great conversations, excite- ment, pride, friendly competidon, charity events and even parties were all benefits to the job. Madison Connection was not always the top- notch program was in 1999. When the program first began, alumni volunteers from each geographic region would call other alumni in their area and ask lor gifts and donations to the university. When the program it moved on campus, service groups and other volunteers, including fraternities and sororities, would call alumni iox donations. In 1989, students were hired in paid, part-time positions to call on behalf of Annual Giving. The effect of student callers was amazing. Since 1989, the student calling program raised over $5 million. ■ There were numerous benefits to having student callers. The students receive specific, detailed training that resulted in professional callers. In addition, students related with the alumni and parents in a special way. ■ "Students can give true, up-to-date advice to parents. We also have a special connecuon with alumni. The alumni were once in our shoes. They want to know what it is like now at JMU," said student manager Kim Ratcliffe. ■ Student success required dedication, hard work, and a love for JMU that they could demonstrate easily. "The student callers live JMU every day. They see where money is needed and where it is going," said Lisa Horsch, assistant director of Annual Giving. ■ "This is not like any other job. I am actually making an impact on the present and future of JMU every time I make a call," said student caller Kristen Krug. ■ When students called, they did much more than just ask for money. "The purpose of calling parents and alumni ot JMU is not just to raise money. The emphasis is on conversation. Even if a prospect does not pledge any money, we still feel it is a success if we have answered any questions, provided some information about JMU, or brought back some fond memories of JMU," said direaor Mike Richey. ■ Overall the Madison Connection was beneficial to everyone. JMU parents and alumni were well- informed, the students gained life-long communication skills and the university gained money to continue providing quality educations. ■ by Stacey Bush

Madison Mediators was first founded under the original name of Madison Mediating Society in 1996. Since then the group has been working to establish their name and focusing on outreach within the community. ■ Program for Pro- ductive Solutions (PROPS) was created to better educate students about mediation skills. The organization consisted of approximately 25 members and Madison Mediators was constandy looking for new members interested in mediadon. ■ Interested mediators attended basic training during the fall. Madison Mediators held two meetings: a general meeting and leadership board meeting. The weekly meetings were held in their Taylor Down Under office. Mediators also con- tinued work on their web page that connected to Student Organization Services. ■ Their primary target was residence halls, but also included SGA and Greek life. Madison Media- tors sponsored Mediation Week held in the spring and had Harrisonburg Communit)' Mediation Center as a philan- thropy. ■ by Anne Whitley

madison project
The founding fathers of the a cappella community, The Madison Project paved the way for the groups that soon followed. By 1999, the campus was graced with five a cappella groups. ■ The Madison Project was started in spring 1996 by student J. R. Snow and UVA graduate student Dave Keller. By spring 1997, the all-male group had enough members and songs to premiere at their first concert. ■ For about a year, The Madison Project remained the only a cappella group on campus. ■ "Five is a good number [of a cappella groups] right now. It's all the campus can handle," said co-musical director Jason Snow, a senior. ■ The Madison Project had seen all ol the other a cappella groups form before their eyes, yet each group supported each other and often performed together. "We're a tight a cappella community," said Snow. "We have so much fun with it." ■ The Madison Project used their skills to involve themselves in a number of charities and community service activides. Such acuvides included raising money for Camp Heardand, Smdent Ambassador scholarships. Breast Cancer Awareness and the Make-A-Wish Foundation'' along with performing for high schools, alumni and residence halls. ■ "There is nothing I like more than singing in fi-ont of big crowds and getting people energized," said freshman Ben Tomko. ■ The group also prepared for the first time to compete against other college a cappella groups for the opportunity to sing at the Lincoln Center in New York.
■ In addition to focusing on their competition, the men worked on a medley of songs that were unexpeaed for The Madison Project. Their newest songs included popular hits by Kid Rock and Smashmouth.
■ Co-musical direaor Adam Klein said his favorite part about singing with The Madison Project was "the release I get from all the stress of school." ■ Although The Madison Project lost seven members to graduation in May 1999, they added five new members to their ensemble. With their first CD behind them, the group planned to release their second in February 2000. ■ "It's neat to see where we've come from. We were just a bunch of guys, then we had enough songs to do a concert. It's great to see how huge a cappella has become and how many groups there are," said Snow. ■ by Robyn Gerstenslager

Newly formed, the Madison Society spent its first encouraging and building school spirit. Dedicated to imiting the campus community, the organization's goal was to ignite enthusiasm, pride and respect for all aspects of the university. Their motto, "Spirit through tradition ... tradition through spirit, " explained their enthusiasm for building a unified student body. They could be seen in their trademark purple and gold hats rallying cheers from the crowds at football and basketball games. One of their major accomplishments was to revive the Homecoming Parade. Traveling from the CISAT campus to Godwin Field on the Friday evening of Home- coming Weekend, the parade encouraged organizations to build floats to show their spirit. ■ by Gail Cannis

"So Heather, you want us front, front, side, side?" asked sophomore Keven Quillon as he demonstrated the accompanying steps on the hardwood floor. ■ Dressed in comfortable pants, leggings and tank tops, the 1 5 singers and dancers were perfecting their choreography at a Thursday night practice. Watching themselves in the mirrored walls, the Madisonians listened to the instruction given by one of their dance captains, junior Heather Jones. ■ "We're on our own now but it's an exciting time for us," said senior Mandy Lamb as she took a break from practice. Lamb and Jones were president and vice president of the Madisonians, respectively, which, for the first time in the per- forming group's history, was cut from school funding in 1999. ■ At club status, the Madisonians were responsible for their own funding. With an eight-piece band, music arranged by senior Steve Perry, plus a lighting, sound crew and costume designer, the group was financially high maintenance. Their usual tour was cut short but they received a great deal of donations. They had a large, successful fund-raising show during Parents Weekend when big supporters of the group generously contributed. They were paid to perform twice at the Homestead in Hot Springs, W.Va. According to Lamb, the Madisonians received over $500 out of the pockets of concerned audience members at the two shows. ■ All 1 5 members of the troupe sang and danced to medleys of popular rock songs or show tunes. The five men and 10 women traveled to high schools to recruit new members and planned a big home show for the spring. The Madisonians were under the advisement of staff member Chris Stup, who also worked with the University Program Board. ■ Lamb admitted that there were a lot of advantages to being funded by the university. "It's easier to reserve venues for shows, accept donations that come directly to us and we feel more conneaed to the university." ■ Despite the change in funding. Lamb felt the Madisonians were up to the challenge. Five seniors left the group in their transitional year but the underclassmen worked to make the club Madisonians better than ever. ■ by Anna Lucas

As the only minority business organization, the National y^ Society for Minorites in Hospitality provided a unique opportunity for students interested in hospitality careers. It was an organization "dedicated to promoting the advancement of minorities in the hospitality industry and to creating a link between minority students and hospitality professionals," said treasurer Sabrina Setdes, a senior. Membership consisted of minority students in the hospitality industry with a mini- mum cumulative grade point average of 2.0. NSMH was a nationally based, nonprofit organization, founded at Cornell University in 1989. The campus chapter was organized in December 1 997 and its membership grew each year. During November 1999, the organization successfully coordinated and hosted the Southeastern Regional Leadership Conference. The event brought national recognition to the up and coming professional organization. ■ by Courtney Delk

Note-oriety was an all-female a cappella group that was established in the fall of 1998. From their Pajama Jam concert at Grafton-Stovall Theatre with The Madison Projea and the Overtones, to performances at the University of Virginia and Roanoke Coll^, the group is spreading their sweet-sounding success around. ■ The group was founded by senior Bonnie Estes and junior Kelly Myer and grew to 15 members in 1999. With auditions in the early fall and spring, their mission was to give female students an equal opportunity to perform a cappella music, to inspire and entertain their fellow students as well as one another by sharing their passion. Myer recognized not only the group's growth in number, but their evolution as a group also. "From the be- ginning to now, when we started it was a lot of different people. We have all learned something about ourselves and have grown both indi- vidually and as a group. " ■ Not only was Note-oriety musically talented, they also had a talent for helping other groups. Note-oriety performed for music lovers, but has also managed to lend their voices to groups such as Camp Heartland and Tri-Delta by raising money through their concerts. ■ Like most organizations, Note-oriety members held elected positions and were required to maintain a 2.0 grade point average. The group decided on music by bringing in a recording, listening to it and then voting. Furthermore, their uniqueness came from their talent ot breaking down the music themselves and toying with different sounds from instruments that were played. Note-orietys dedication was evi- dent through their two-hour practices three times a week. ■ The group recorded their first CD, consisting of 13 songs, in December, and expected to release the album in April. ■ by Anne Whitley

Early on a breezy Sunday morning a group of about 20 students and faculty met. They took a headcount and loaded into cars, venturing off to a hiking excursion through the valley. The leaves vividly shaded in orange, red and gold showered down on them as they made their way down the trail. Breathtaking images and enjoying beautiful days with new and old friends were advantages of being an Outing Club member. ■ For the past 25 years, the Outing Club found new and exciting ways to create friendships through fun activities. Students and faculty understood the importance of scholarly activities but also enjoyed the gifts nature had to offer. The group offered members inexpensive trips as well as provided ail of the equipment and trans- portation for each trip. The organization had an open membership policy and offered reasonable dues. Members participated in activities including hiking, skiing, camping, playing paintbail, spelunldng, mountain biking and tubing. For those interested in more extreme activities, sky diving and whitewater rafting were offered. ■ by Teisha Garrett

The other nine positions annually rotated through each of the nine houses. ■ Throughout the year, Panhellenic planned numerous activities, including New Member Education Day, a day fdled with speakers and explanations of Greek Life policies. Members also worked on the construction of a house with Habitat for Humanity and Interfraternity Coiuicil. ■ To promote issues imponant to Greek Life they brought speakers to campus.

overtones
One September evening in the Baltimore Inner Harbor, a group of 16 college students stopped in the middle of the sidewalk to sing for the passing strangers. A small crowd formed around the energetic a cappella group. Performing such songs as "I Think We're Alone Now" and "Under Pressure," the group received praise and applause from the audience, but no spare change. ■ Although the Overtones usually planned their concerts in advance, the co-ed group could not pass up the opportunity. "It was a great chance to sing for a different kind of audience," junior Jane Bills said. "Instead of a room fiill of college students, we were entenaining an older crowd." The impromptu show took on a different feel than the well-planned school events. The group performed more for fun than accuracy considering the four new members had yet to learn the songs. ■ It was occurrences like this that brought the 16 talented Overtones closer together. "Performing off-campus is very unifying," senior Aliie Weitberg said. They also traveled to different colleges and universities in the area and went on a retreat to rehearse almost non-stop for three days. ■ In the spring of 1 999, the Overtones spent ses'eral weekends recording their debut album at Blue House in Maryland. They released the CD "...(un)necessar}' details," on Oct. 8 at a concert in Taylor Down Under with special guests The Pitchforks, an all-male a cappella group from Duke Uni- versity. The CD features the Overtones' most popular songs including "Both Hands, " "Ghost " and "Freedom '90." ■ After rehearsing three times a week and performing several concerts a month, the Overtones became more than a vocal band. "The friendships far exceeded what I expected in a club," said Weitberg, who founded the group in 1997. "We have to trust and rely on each other because each person is an important pan of the group," said senior Craig Calton. ■ Through their shared interest, the group found close friendships that enhanced their music. "Performing on stage with your closest friends is the best feeling," Weitberg said. ■ by Kristen Malinchock

Phi Epsilon Kappa was a professional fraternity that provided students studying kinesiology with professionalism, education, service and brotherhood. According to <I>EK president Kathy Garcia, "OEK is an opportunity for kinesiology majors to enhance themselves by creating special relationships with peers, faculty and the community. We try to establish a solid network for when we leave JMU." ■ <I>EK had about 120 members, including 64 pledges, the largest pledge class ever. There was a five-month pledge process, which began in the fall and ended in January. The pledges were initiated according to a point system that ensured active participation. "I started the point system because last year we had pledges show up at initiation that we had never seen before. We wanted to get each of our members more involved in our meetings, fund-raisers, service events and sporting events so we decided to give a certain number of points for attending events. We have had a huge increase in participation this year and it has a lot to do with the point system, " said Garcia. ■ Each semester the members of Phi Epsilon Kappa participated in Adopt-a-Highway through the Virginia Department of Transportation. OEK was responsible for a one-mile stretch of road on Port Republic near South View apartments. In October, about 30 members met on the steps of Godwin Hall and headed out to help make Virginia's highways cleaner. Some donned gloves, others wielded trash bags, but all spent a few hours picking up debris from the side of the road. ■ 4>EK won awards for their active participation in the events during Homecoming Week. For their efforts, <I>EK won prizes including a lecture by Dr. Mark Warner, vice president of student affairs, $200, a cheese and fruit platter and 10 free pizzas. ■ by Aimee Costello

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia's main goal was to achieve musical endeavors on campus and beyond. They did this throug! service, education, performance and research. Members encouraged and actively promoted the highest standards in music nationwide. ■ The first chapter of <I>MA was founded at the New England Conservatory ot Music in 1898. The campus chapter was founded in 1969. In 1999, there were over 200 chapters ot C>MA throughout the United States. ■ Any man interested in and passionate about music was eligible.

"Nothing shall ever tear us asunder." ■ The motto of Pi Kappa Phi was the quintessential belief on which the fraternity was founded and continued to grow. The brothers completed service activities and attained the highest standards of scholarship. ■ The friendship and overwhelming sense of loyalty that transcended the brotherhood was reflected most in their Intramural competition. With numerous sports, dominating the Greek league took a wide variety of athletic talent. The league offered team sports like flag football, floor hockey and basketball. Individual battles were also waged across nets in tennis and pingpong. During the tall, FIKO took home Intramural crowns in flag football, volleyball, floor hockey and three-on-three basketball. In the spring, their five-on-five basketball team continued its dominance. In 1999, the team represented the university at UNC-Chapel Hill in the regional tournament, losing to the team that eventually won the intramural national ude. nK<I> also hoped to bring home their second consecudve overall Greek Intramural Championship, which was compiled through a point system of each sport throughout the year. They won the over- all title in 1998-99 compiling the greatest number of points in the program's history. ■ OKO was also represented throughout the Greek community. Excelling in leadership, four Pi Kapp's were elected to the InterFraternity Council, including the president, vice president, judicial chair and community service chair. ■ nK<& also contribu- ted to the campus and the community through service projects. Pennies for PUSH was conducted door-to-door, but also at intersections, creating a toll road for charity. Holding PUSH Weekends for their national philanthropy PUSH America, nK<I> arranged their biggest fund-raiser in the spring. With a tall scaffold ereaed on The Commons, the brothers spent seven days and nights sitting atop the construction. riKO got commercial sponsors for the event, but also had donation barrels set up for individual contributions. ■ Through a brother- hood with diverse interests. Pi Kappa Phi was a group of loyal men who bonded through service, scholarship and athletic competition. ■ by Nate Givens

As the year progressed, y>e 70 members of Pi Sigma Epsilon, the professional coed marketing fraternity, participated in a variety of projects both business and community oriented. ■ The chapter, chartered in 1990, offered practical sales and mar- keting experience to members through active involvement in projects and research, professional events such as speakers and tours, and community service and social events. ■ The fall pledge class cteated a "Port Republic Party Pass" T-shirt with a map to the local apartment complexes. After brainstorming ideas and creating a design, pledges found sponsors to help pay for the projeCT and sell the shirts. "We have the pledge class create the T-shirt to give them background into coming up with a pro- ject. It's not about making money, but about gening experience," said sophomore Mike Kittinger. ■ OSE participated in several community service projects.

As the lights dimmed and audience members scrambled for their seats, Gong Show master of ceremonies Matt Hahne strolled onto the stage of Grafton-Stovall Theatre amidst cheers of excitement. Sitting quietly on stage right, a shiny gong hung ominously before the audience. "We've got some special performances for you tonight," he said surveying the crowd of approximately 300 students and volunteers eager to boo the worst acts and award the best entertainment of the evening. "Remember, these guys are really brave to get up here in front of you people so be nice," he reminded the audience. ■ On their big night, Residence Hall Association members distinguished themselves from the evenings acts and audience members with yellow T-shirts proclaiming: "Some people wonder if they chose the right college ... we don't." With the success of the previous year's Gong Show still fresh in their minds, the members of the Residence Hall Council prepared for a month prior to put together another winning show. ■ "Since we put the show on last year, we knew what to do when we started this year. Having won Entertainment Program of the Year from Student Organization Services, we knew we needed to do this event again," said RHA vice president Laurie Allen. ■ Judges bore the antics of drag queens, celebrity paro- dies, a contortionist and a number of musical performances and ulti- mately decided who deserved the prize and who needed the boot. Those that were short and sweet seemed to keep the audiences attention and enthusiasm longer than those that dragged on for several minutes. ■ The top three winners: senior Nakia Palmer won $250 for his rendi- tion of Edwin McCain's "I'll Be;" Mike Andrews and Chris Carter took second place, receiving $150; and sophomore Luke Jacobs and junior Tom Gallo went home with $75. ■ by Christina Cook

"Dives left! The puck comes back right, kick save! The goaJie stoned the breakaway!" ■ While senior Tyras Madren may not have had NHL announcers screaming his name after every glove save, he ft)und his calling on skates with wheels, rather than blades. Madren, the president of the Roller Hockey Club, was also the starting goaltender on the A Team, one of two travel teams. His 3.5 goals against average was the wall that supported his four teammates on the ice. ■ Founded in 1 996 by alumnus Will Starkie, the Roller Hockey Club became more com-petitive each year. Last year the Roller Hockey Club was a member of the Mid-Atlantic Region division of the Collegiate Roller Hockey League. Anyone could join the club for a nominal fee of $25, which granted them the opportimity to play pick-up games on courts near Mr. Chips. Although membership was open to all, only the best players were chosen to represent the club on the two travel teams. The members of the travel teams each spent hundreds of dollars of their own money each semester for their equipment and to participate in tour-naments. ■ The A Team competed in seven tournaments and compiled a 10-4-2 record last fall. The top five teams in each division were invited to the national tournament, held in Tampa Bay, Fla., in the spring, to compete against other CRHL Divisions. The Roller Hockey Club finished the fall ranked fourth in the MAR, even though they defeated third-ranked PSU-Altoona. ■ Sophomore forward Brad Franklin, captain of the A Team and vice president of the club, summed up their winning attitude, "We concentrate on playing our game." ■ The Roller Hockey Club lost key players to spring commencement 2000, but through good planning and organization, looked to grow even stronger during the 2000-01 season. "We're losing three of our five starters: two defenders and our goaltender," said Madren. "But we have a bunch of young players who want to lead the MAR by next year. Other MAR teams are old, but we have awesome young guys. We should dominate next year." ■ by Nate Givens

For the past 41 years, the sisters of Sigma Alpha Iota have gathered to hear the new pledges play in a relaxed atmosphere. Before the fall semester Pledge Recital, the sisters sat and talked. They even played a game of telephone to kill time. Each sister whispered to the next. Laughter ensued at the end of the game when the last sister announced what she heard. This sort of camaraderie was normal among the group. Finally, the pledges were ready to perform. "We were kind of nervous but the atmosphere was fun," said junior Sarah Stahler. Each of the pledges, like so many SAI women before them, stood singularly or in pairs in front of their chapter and performed a piece of their choice. Sometimes it was Baroque, like Mozart's "Twelve Pieces for Two Horns" performed by Stahler and senior Jen Miller. Sophomore Sarah Layman chose contemporary pieces like Jewel's "Down So Long" and was accompanied by junior Kelly McCarthy. After everyone had per- formed, they took group pictures with the pledges and most pledges received a gift, balloons or flowers. As the room began to empty the older sisters sat and reflected about the rite of passage that had occurred. ■ SAI not only put together events like these to express their love for music. The group, consisting of all music major and minors, provided services to both the university and Harrisonburg since the inception of the Gamma Iota chapter in 1958. McCarthy said each sister was required earn five points each month. Sisters did this by ushering in music department events and by service, largely in the Music Building. The sisters performed in children's wards of hospitals as well as in nursing homes. They collected canned foods, worked in the music office and in soup kitchens. ■ Initiation for ZAI pledges took place in December. Not only did they become sisters but pledged to uphold the spirit and cause of music throughout the world. ■ by Teisha Garrett

The sisters of the Sigma Kappa sorority celebrated their 40''' anniver- sary last year. The Delta Rho chapter was founded at the university in 1959, however the sorority's history dated much further back. Sigma Kappa was founded nationally at Colby College, Maine, in 1 874. ■ In the last 40 years Sigma Kappa members have worked to promote their sisterhood through social events, supporting their philanthropies and serving the Greek and non-Greek members of the university and Harrisonburg communities. ■ Guided by their motto "one heart, one way, " the sisters of Sigma Kappa spent lots of time and energy supporting their philanthropies throughout the year. Some efforts included donadng clothes and food to the Maine Seacoast Mission and supporting gerontology, Alzheimer's disease and cystic fibrosis foundations. ■ In November, Sigma Kappa teamed up with the brothers of the Alpha Kappa Lambda to sponsor a 5K Turkey Trot. The proceeds raised from the run benefited the Boomer Esiason Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. ■ "We were happy to team up again with AKA for such a worthy cause. There are so many children, even in this area, that suffer from cystic fibrosis. It's nice to be able to help," said Melissa Mollet, a junior. ■ by Colleen Casey

Sigma Nu hosted last year's second annual Hoops for Kids challenge, raising $3500 for the Richmond chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foun- dation,® the fraternity's national philanthropy. ■ Hoops for Kids began in 1998 as ZN's philanthropy event. The goal was to raise money to help grant the wishes of young children with life-threatening illnesses. Delta Delta Delta helped ZN's effort in 1999. ■ "We were looking to develop our philanthropy. Children's Cancer Funds, and when 2N asked us to be a part of Hoops for BCids, it was a great opportunity to get involved and make a difference, " said Tri-Delta junior Beth Wilkin. ■ This year's 72-hour basketball marathon took place the first week of school, from 6 p.m. Wednesday to 12 p.m. Saturday. Volunteers set up camp on the courts behind Mister Chips, where they spent numerous hours playing three on three, horse, knockout and other games. Everyone was invited to stop by and support the event and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.® ■ "The involvement was absolutely amazing, " said senior Keith Fletcher, who initiated the event two years ago. "To have so many different people so dedicated to and passionate for the cause was inspiring. " ■ The event sponsored two young boys. Each had a special wish that Hoops for Kids helped make come true. The money raised was used to send one of the boys to Walt Disney World and the other to the beach. ■ "Being the first week of school, it was a litde difficult to get the word out," said jimior Julie Dennis. "We set up a table on the corner in front of Mr. Chips where we collected donations and gave out Frisbees, cups and T-shirts. " ■ Not only did the event involve the campus community; Harrisonburg was invited to participate also. On Friday, QlOl came to Chips for a live broadcast, and many area sponsors dedicated food and prizes to the event. ■ The genuine emotion and interest shown by the entire community who wanted to help these two little boys was amazing, according to Dennis. "It was six months planning the event, getting the sponsors and putting it all together, and I have no doubt it was worth every minute, " said Fletcher. ■ by Meg Simone

In their fifth year on campus, the Women's Soccer Club experienced a season of victory on the field and within the group. In addition to encouraging and stressing a competitive atmosphere, they enjoyed full participation and dedication. ■ The fall began with tryouts, and approximately 100 females tried out for the 35 spots. The addition of a new coach, Corey Hanks, also helped the team to finish with a 10-3-2 record during the fall. ■ Winning the Clemson Socctoberfest Tour- nament automatically gave them a bid to the national tourna- ment in Statesboro, Ga. In their third consecutive trip to nationals, the team lost to Ohio State University in sudden death play in the quanerfinals. Despite the loss, the team did experience some success at nationals when they received the award for best team-spirited hair. In addition, junior Erin Gilman was named to the All-Tournament team. ■ "This is the closest soccer team I've ever been a part of," claimed president Wendy Winkler, a junior. "The disappointment in nationals was made up for by our spirit." ■ by Kelly Estes

/^sigma Sigma
On April 20, 1898, Sigma Sigma Sigma was founded by seven women at Longwood College in Farmville, Va. On campus, XZ2 was the first sorority established on Greek Row and is currently the largest chapter in the nation, with over 1 50 members. ■ The sisters of EEZ participated in community service projects throughout the year. They co-sponsored a blood drive and participated in a Bowl-a-thon. In addition, the sisters held a Halloween Party at the Roberta Webb Child Care Center and a Christmas party for the residents of Camelot Health and Rehabilitation Center where they preformed a talent show. They also held fund-raisers to collect money for the Carrie Kutner Scholarship sponsored by Student Ambassadors. ■ The chapter's philanthropy was the Robbie Page Memorial Foundation and their motto was "Sigma Serves Children." The foundation provided aid for terminally ill children in two hospitals. One was in Dallas and the other was in Chapel Hill, N.C. ■ The new members of ZEE were initiated on Nov. 20. They were involved in activities to promote unity and strengthen sister relations. To learn more about Greek life and social issues, the sisters saw educational speakers and went to workshops. They raised money for the chapter's national philanthropy by selling T-shirts which they designed themselves. The sisters also participated in a rope course at Camp Horizons, which emphasized team building and leadership. ■ Throughout the year, YH. actively participated in fund-raisers and events in the Greek com- munity. In 1999, they won second place in Greek Sing. They also took part in Delta Gamma's Anchor Splash and Sigma Chi's Derby Days. ■ Sister relations was an important part of Z2X. They went on camping trips, snow-tubing trips and held sister retreats to strengthen the fi-iendships within the sorority. In addition, they held a Homecoming Brunch to welcome back the alumnae of the chapter. ■ by Nicole Stone

The Women's Softball Club maintained its status despite hardship over the past two seasons. As club secretary Terri Bullock, a senior, explained, "At the end of our 1998 season, our field was taken away from us in hopes of a varsity women's Softball team. For all of last year and so far this season, we have had no field to play on, and there is still no varsity team." Fortunately, their goal to play highly competitive fast-pitch Softball against other universities became more realistic. ■ In addition to practices and games, the team was actively involved in community service projects throughout Harrison- burg, and was working on fund-raising for their trip to the spring national championships in Utah. ■ As a club sport, the women's softball team encouraged female students to try out each fall and spring, where 20 to 25 girls were selected. "We have such a great time together," said freshman Kristen Jeremiah. "There is a great unity among the team, both on and off the field. It's so much fiin." ■ by Courtney Delk

The Stratford Players was one of the oldest and most respected organizations on campus. The group approved and produced all the plays performed at Theatre II, the experimental theater located on South Main Street, with few exceptions. The members of the Stratford Players concerned themselves with furthering the education of theater by organizing and producing each show. ■ "The beaury of the Strat- ford Players is that students control everything. The stage set-up, lighting, sound and promotion all are done by students, we produce every aspect of the show," said senior Carrie Reynolds, vice president of the Stratford Players. The Players approved and produced approxi- mately 12 plays a year, including the 1998 Pulitzer Prize-winning play "How I Learned to Drive." Other plays included, "Medea," the Greek play written by Euripedes, and student- written plays "Catharsis" and "The Big Honkin' Sketch Show." ■ "The Stratford Players concern themselves with a wide spectrum of shows," said Reynolds. "We produce all types of plays: comedies, musicals, modern, Shakes- peare and Greek tragedies." ■ The group was originally comprised of students who put on plays before there was organized theater at the university. Open to any student, the Stratford Players continued to be the only theater organization on campus and audiences hailed their productions as engaging and captivating. The results of their toils were entertaining and virtuous, providing students a forum to exhibit their writing, directing, acting and producing talents. ■ by Alex Sarnowski

High school senior Ashley Green and her mother Renee Weathenon of Loudon County, Va., walked from table to table, stopping to examine the photo albums and informational brochures at the club fair sponsored by Students for Minority Outreach (SMO). Already in the process of narrowing down her college choices, Green had heard good things about JMU and its programs. "I think this day is really good for minority students to meet prospective students and show them what's offered. I've had a nice campus visit so far," she said. ■ Warm smiles and friendly faces greeted smdents and visitors as they entered the doors of PC Ballroom. Music, laughter and the smell of popcorn hung in the air surrounding the tables set up by campus organizations, enticing prospective students to take a closer look at the diverse elements of campus. "Our main mission is to recruit minorities to JMU by presenting it as a diverse campus," said SMO treasurer Renita Moore, a sophomore. ■ The day long event took place during the second weekend in Nov- ember. It offered high school students in search of a college the chance to experience the campus from a multicultural perspective. While perusing the tables of the 24 organizations that were part of the Center for Multicultural Student Services, as well as the tables of the SGA and WXJM, entertainment groups such as the Contemporary Gospel Singers and Eclipse performed musical numbers and dance routines for the crowd. ■ In addition to the club (air, visitors attended academic sessions giving them the opportunity to meet with deans, professors and students. "There has been a lot of preparation for this day since school began, and its one of the areas we focus major attention on in addition to Prospectives Week held in the spring, " said sophomore Lakeisha Watkins. ■ Two hundred prospective students and their families were invited to stay for the afternoon football game against Richmond, showcasing school spirit while capping the day off with a 31-13 victory. ■ "From a parent's perspective, this day is a really good opportunity to see what JMU has to offer and bring students from many diverse backgrounds together. It's a wonderful program, " said Weatherton. ■ by Christina Cook

government association
The Student Government Association consisted of eleaed class council members, executive council members, senators from residence hails and representatives from campus organizations. Each week senators met and had the opportimit)' to address the assembly and to provide ideas to bener the tmiversity community. ■ The SGA senate was divided frmJier into groups such as Buildings and Grounds, Food Services and Multicultural committees. The groups met at separate times from the main meeting to discuss ways to improve campus in smaller group settings. ■ One significant achievement of the SGA was the administrarions agreement to designate Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a university' holiday. For several years SGA sought the recog- nition of Dr. King's birthday by the university and as a result of their persistence in addition to that of others, the uruversit)' council complied. Senators also rallied supf)ort so adjustments were made to the Harrison- burg Transit Sj-stem. The bus routes were made more accessible to students living on the east campus. In addition, SGA members partici- pated in the Homecoming Parade and other community' events. ■ Through the work ot the Smdent Government Association, students were given an active voice on campus. ■ by Teisha Garrett

While band members from area high schools prepared for their per- formances in die Parade of Champions, one group of women was on-call to assist them. The 21 members of Tau Beta Sigma were officially re- sponsible for assisting the Marching Royal Dukes during their events. ■ Founded in 1939, TBZ was chartered at the university in 1987. One of their responsibilities was to help organize the Parade of Cham- pions. The Marching Royal Dukes played host to a high school band competition where TBZ members guided bands, sold programs and performed numerous other activities. Fall semester, the marching season, was their busiest time of year. Sisters spent between 10 and 1 5 hours each week on service activities. The sisters ushered concerts, handed out drinks to the band members during games and hosted their major event, the Marching Royal Duke Ball. ■ The sorority held rush periods fall and spring semesters. Potential members had to be registered in a university band program for at least one semester and had to have a minimum 2.5 grade point average. ■ Most of the sisters were also members of the marching band but only two sisters were actually music majors. Members had majors ranging from biology to social work. ■ Senior Melanie Whidow decided to rush TBZ because of the friendliness of the sisters. "I got to know them, they were incredible. They are so willing to be your friend. They really put themselves out there for you." ■ With such a small group, Whidow felt that they couldn't afford to create cliques, and that was one of the best things about the organization. The sisters worked toward a common goal of serving the Marching Royal Dukes to the best of their abilities. ■ by Anna Lucas

The Mu Tau chapter of Tau Kappa E^ilon was the oldest fraternity on campus. First chartereciin 1969, TKE continued to thrive. Originally housed in what is now the Joshua Wilton House on S. Main Street, TKE grew under determination and strong leadership. ■ TKE moved out of that house and into a house on Greek Row. They remained there until they encountered problems with the university and moved back off campus. Shordy after, the chapter lost its national chaner due to financial and other problems in the chapter. ■ TKE then moved into the house at 635 S. Main St., where they resided the previous year. Over the past few years, the members of TKE struggled to regain their charter and fmally succeeded in spring 1997. Since then, TKE has worked with the administration to regain their status as a recognized organization at the university. ■ Some TKE events had themes, such as the Mardi Gras Celebration they held in mid- November. Other times, their gatherings combined ftm with a good cause. In December, TKE had a party and asked for $3 contributions at the door. They used the money to purchase food and Christmas presents for a local family. ■ by Kelly Estes

The Tennis Club called the courts across from The Village home. "We're one of the only universities in the south that has a coed tennis club. We've come a long way since 1997 [when the club began]. I am proud of this club's accomplishments and members," saidTara Hafer, a junior member of the squad. ■ The club had roughly 60 members, and rankings were developed through a challenge system. A player was allowed to challenge up to five spots ahead of him. If the lower-seeded player won, he gained the spot he challenged. ■ The club played several other universities, including the University of Virginia, the University of Richmond, UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Liberty, William and Mary, University of Pennsylvania, Clemson and Duke. ■ "Coming in as a freshman to a team full of upperclassmen has helped make the transition to college tennis easier. I look forward to three more years of competitive and spirited tennis with my teammates," said freshman Ashley Morris. ■ "My teammates all seem pretty cool and very eager to play tennis. Its all about people getting together who love to play tennis, " added freshman Manny Smith. ■ by Jeffrey Cretz

The brothers of Theta Chi captured the spirit of their motto, "The Helping Hand," by organizing the first annual Special K 5K Run/Walk in March. The chapter donated all proceeds from the walk to the Special Olympics, motivated by the notion that many hard working participants do not have the proper facilities and equipment to train. ■ Aside from their own commitments, 0X brothers also devoted their time and energy to the philanthropies of other organizations. Members joined together in October and formed two teams to compete in Alpha Chi Omega's annual Frisbee Fling on Godwin Field. All that manpower proved to be an asset, because they flung their way to second place overall. ■ They also participated in Delta Gamma's fall Anchorsplash Week, where they placed first in the coin wars on The Commons and placed third in the Lip-Sync corn-petition with their rendition of Madonna's "Material Girl." ■ Additional highlights of the year inclu- ded making it to the semifinals in Intramural soccer and sponsoring local bands at Main Street Bar and Grill. ■ 0X's efforts did not go unnoticed. They were recognized during the 1999 Greek Week Awards Ceremony with several awards: Excellence in Membership Recruit- ment; Most Outstanding Adviser, Rev.

Calling themselves the Flying Hellfish, the Ultimate Frisbee Club was not your typical sports team. Besides being involved in one of the fastest-growing sports scenes, club members were known to dye their hair, wear skirts, go orange bowling, do landsharks and routinely cause havoc at Gibbons Hall. Laura Steinheber, a non-Frisbee player, gave her thoughts on the Hellfish. "1 think that the JMU Ultimate Frisbee team has the best compilation of characters JMU has ever seen," said Steinheber, a junior math major. ■ In only their second full season, the Ultimate Frisbee Club's composition changed a great deal from the previous season. The number of participants doubled in size, expanding the club to over 40 members, including eight women. As to the types of people involved, it was unclear whether Frisbee attracted certain types or if it was Frisbee that transformed people into acting a litde crazy. What- ever the situation was, they all came together for the love of Frisbee.
■ The club experienced a number of memorable moments including sophomore Preston Sharp's jump into the chilly Potomac River to rescue a Frisbee and the team's Mardi-Gras tournament over spring break. ■ On the field, it was a roller-coaster year for the team. The Hellfish got off to a hot start in the beginning of the fall but faded near the end of the semester. Captain Rob Knapik, a junior, said, "We were successful in many ways, but also disappointing. We didn't play up to our full potential in some tournaments." The team was able to reboimd and finished the year with a very strong spring season.
■ The fiiture looked promising. Lx)sing only three seniors, a number of seasoned veterans would return in the following year. The club set their sights high based on their current success, hoping to be one of the dominant college teams in the country. ■ by Ronnie Turner

To help students escape the boredom of the study lounge and the routine of classes, the University Program Board provided an extensive array of entertainment throughout the school year. ■ UPB sponsored major concerts held at the Convocation Center each year, as well as smaller events held at Wilson Hall and other venues. Aside from musical entertainment, UPB also helped to bring comic routines and cultural events such as the Tibetan Monks to the universin,'. There was also a committee that worked to have movies shown at Gravton-Stovall Theatre almost every night of the week. ■ There were approximately 12 different committees that specialized in different aspects of each event. Each committee was headed by an executive board member. Committees ranged from hospitality to multicultural to advertising. ■ UPB was primarily student run. Most of the board members and all committee volunteers were students. Volunteers received points for every event in which they helped. The points could then be re- deemed for the purchase of tickets to other UPB events. ■ "It's really easy to get involved in UPB, " said junior Man Maltman. "You don't have to apply, you just go and sign up and start volunteering. With the points system, it is so worth it. " ■ Each year the Student Govern- ment Association decided how much funding UPB would receive. For the 1999-2000 academic year, diey allotted $105,000, which was close to the usual amount. ■ UPB brought G. Love & Special Sauce with headlining band The Roots to the Convocadon Center in November 1999 and the Indigo Girls in February 2000. They also had a free showing of the Kevin Smith film "Dogma" before it was released in theaters. ■ "Helping with the G. Love/Roots concert was exciting to see what goes on behind the scenes, how it all comes together and actually getting to meet the performers," said sophomore Jessica Guide. ■ "I'm glad I joined UPB because now I get to chat with the stars, it's like I'm Joan Rivers," said Maltman. ■ by Robyn Gerstenslager

After four years on campus, the Women's Volleyball Club team grew to 24 members last year. The club held tryouts at the beginning of each year and allowed any female student to parti- cipate. The organizations main goal was to grow, "not only as in- dividuals, but also as a team," said junior Kathy Munoz, the president of the club. ■ In 1998, the Women's Volleyball Club team was runner-up in the Bronze Division of the National Volleyball Tournament, but that achievement was not what they were most proud. Munoz claimed that their fund-raiser was its crowning achievement. The club sold "JMU — The Univer- sity of Virginia" T-shirts in an effort to earn money for their trip to Reno, Nev. ■ "We're special in that we work together both on and off the court, becoming best friends in the process," said Munoz. ■ The Women's Volleyball Club team played a tri- match scrimmage against other teams in the area on Oct. 31 at UREC and hosted the JMU Invitational tournament on Nov. 13, in which the team won first place. ■ by Tara Hafer

WXJM, 88.7 FM, was a student-run-and-staffed radio station that operated year round. The 250 staff members included 70 disc jockeys and 30 music directors. Hoping to snag their own on-air spot, radio staff worked to earn the most points throughout the year performing various tasks for the station. According to the station's general manager, junior Nathan Marsh, WXJM attempted to address the issues relevant to students and the Harrisonburg area. ■ Providing students with an alternative to local radio stations was also a goal of WXJM. "I think it s important to give the community a chance to hear music they wouldn't necessarily hear on local radio or on MTV. I try to play a variety, especially bands from other parts of the country that people haven't heard, " said freshman Mike Dove, a progressive rock disc jockey. ■ The station also sponsored local music events, exposing the community to all genres ot music. MACRoCk, the Mid-Atlantic College Radio Conference, was one event created by smdents and sponsored by WXJM. Held every April, MACRoCk was a music festival that brought together independent bands and music labels from all over the country. According to MACRoCk director Laurel Deppen, a senior, the festival was a huge success with over 1500 attendants, 30 record labels and 75 bands. ■ The festival took place over two days and included bands of all genres that played in venues on campus and popular spots in town such as Main Street Bar and Grill. Along with the shows, MACRoCk also offered workshops about the music industry and independent music, as well as a record label exhibition. An open forum allowed station managers to voice concerns related to their genre of music with music directors from other universities. WXJM had the massive responsibility of running the entire production, including housing and feeding the bands and providing security for the shows. ■ WXJM staft was proud of how quickly MACRoCk became a significant pan of the independent music indiwtry, with anendance doubling each year since it was started in 1996-97. "We allow no major labels and use no corporate sponsors," said Deppen. "MACRoCk is here to defend the independent. " ■ by Hope Bradley and Christina Cook

Since its founding in 1978, the energy of the Men's Water Polo Club created a strong following among students and faculty alike. With 20 team members, the men sought to encourage both academic and athletic development through social and leadership opportunities for each of its members. Due to their vigorous practice schediJes, the men on the team formed a imique bond with each other, as well as with members of the women's team. All imdergraduates, graduate students and faculty members were eligible for membership. ■ "The uniqueness of our sport sets us apart," said president Chris Field. "Our rich, 2 1 year history is fdled with high levels of competition, as well as individual achievement, personal growth and team bonding." ■ The team was a member of the Collegiate Water Polo Association of Virginia and competed against teams from the University of Virginia, Washington and Lee, Georgetown University and the Universit)' ot Maryland. ■ by Courtney Delk

The youth- 1 4 boys soccer team that Zeta Beta Tau coached ran off the field for the last time this season full of excitement and satisfaction. The game had just ended with an 8-1 victory. This outcome, however, was not unusual tor the team. Out of the 10 games the ZBT team played this fall, they had won eight. Not only won, but dominated. Other teams only scored 12 goals against ZBTs team in comparison to the 64 scored by them. ■ At halftime, the story had been different. The score was close and it was still anyone's game. "There's no reason we shouldn't be controlling 90 percent of the game," coach Jeff Bartholomew, a junior, told his team. "Realize this, this is the last half of soccer season. Give it your all. " ■ Last year was ZBTs first season coaching. Yet Bartholomew has been around soccer for years. "I've played soccer all my life - house, travel, high school." He began assisting when his father served as head coach for his younger brother's team. Although Bartholomew loved the sport and the kids, he passed the position of head coach to another fraternity brother the following semester. ■ There may have been only one head coach, but all members of ZBT were involved with the soccer team. Often brothers could be found at practices running laps along with the team or at the games cheering on the sidelines. When Bartholomew was busy, he could count on a fellow brother to cover for him at practice. Freshman Daniel Hummell, who attended most of the practices commented, "I just do whatever Jeff needs." At the close of the season, it was not a surprise to see both the brothers of ZBT and the kids from the team in the basement of the fraternity house eating pizza and playing pool. ■ bv Kellv Estes

Running concession stands at football games and holding car washes were only a few of the fundraising aaivities the Women's Water Polo Club held in order to raise money. The women practiced for two hours a day, four times a week, to stay up to par for the numerous tournaments in which they participated. ■ Photo c/o Women's Water Polo Club
The Women's Water Polo Club was established three years ago in fall 1997. Before then the water polo team was coed and consisted of only five women. The team has since grown to 35 women who all shared a passion lor the sport. ■ The team's unique bond derived from their hard work. From their two- hour practices four times a week to personal training and games, they also held the responsibility ol planning and of raising 50 percent of their budget. Since the group had to work hard outside of the pool, their reward inside the pool was even greater. ■ Their fund-raising efforts ranged from canned food drives with the Sports Club Council, drives to the MS-Walk. In addition, the women planned a Tread for Life fund-raiser with the Men's Water Polo Club for the spring semester. ■ The club's main season was in the spring. They participated in three Collegiate Water Polo Association tournaments and several other invitationals throughout the year. Tryouts and recruitment for the Women's Water Polo Club was held in early fall. ■ In coordination with the men's club, they fund-raised, performed community service and held social events together. From nmning concessions at football and basketball games to car washes, both teams shared the profits from the fund-raisers. ■ By Anne Whitley

Additionally, all of the sisters met with members of the national ZTA staff. ■ Junior Jessica Cruttendim, ZTA's historian, was in charge of the event. "During the banquet we celebrated the past, present and future of the Gamma Kappa chapter," she said. ■ "One woman came back who had graduated in 1954. She was a former president and historian, so it was really interesting talking with her," said senior Melanie Decostanzo, ZTA's president for 1998-1999. ■ During the year the Gamma Kappa chapter was honored with many distinctions, honors and awards, both on- and off-campus. ■ Along with the brothers of Kappa Alpha Order, ZTA entered a float in the Homecoming Parade. Together, they won the award for best overall float. The women of ZTA also won the Spirit Award during Homecoming Week. ■ During Delta Gamma's Anchor- splash, ZTA s Vai Anderson, a junior, won the "best legs" portion of the competition and then was awarded Miss Anchorsplash 1999. ■ The women also received several national awards. They were named the Crown Chapter for ZTA, which was one of the highest distinc- tions for ZTA nationally. They also were given the honor of being the Crown Chapter for Virginia and an award for outstanding commu- nity service. ■ In October 1999, the women sponsored a benefit concert along with the University Health Center. The money raised was given to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, their national philanthropy. The Madison Project sang during the concert and the event was a huge success. ■ by Emily Nichols

The 1999 spring season was a tough one for the Diamond Dukes. Creating history by losing their first seven games, the team soon bounced baclc by beating St. Joseph's 5-2 and sweeping Army for three consecutive games. However, their 58-game schedule and the competition in the Colonial Athletic Association was too fierce (or the young, transitional team. They ended their season 22-35-1 overall and 6-15 in the CAA In the CAA tournament, the Dukes lost to Richmond 7-1 in the opening round but came back to beat William and Mary in a close 4-3 match-up, only to face Richmond again and get eliminated from the tournament in a 10-1 loss. ■ "We were a yoimg team with 1 1 freshmen, still in transition, had some freak injuries and in a conference that is ranked the third best conference in the country. It is hard to win consistendy with those situations," said head coach Joe "Spanky" McFarland about his second year with the Dukes. ■ Despite a frus- trating season, there were several highlights. Freshmen left-hander Adam Wynegar pitched
a no-hitter in his first collegiate start in which he tied a school record with 16 strike-outs and assisted the Dukes in a 16-0 viaory over Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. It was the first no-hitter since 1989 and the seventh no-hitter in school history. Collegiate Baseball and the CAA recognized Wynegar as player of the week for his achievement. ■ Greg Miller, a sophomore third baseman, was selec- ted to the 1999 American Baseball Coaches Association AU-East region second team, making it the seventh consecutive season the university has been represented on the team. Miller was also selected to the All-state and All-conference teams. ■ Junior right-handed pitcher Blair DeHart was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the fifth round of the Major League Baseball Draft in June, and catcher Kevin Razler, a current senior, became the all-time career leader for hits with 279. Second baseman Tim "T" Riley, a junior, led the nation with 56 stolen bases out of 60 anempts and led the team to place second in the national standings with 1 82 stolen bases. ■

The men's basketball team opened their season winning their first three games at home, beating N.C.-Greensboro, Boston University and East Tennessee State and continued their home winning streak through ten games. Senior guard jamar Perry led the Dukes to victory as the leading scorer in all three contests. The Dukes went on to win four of their next eight match- ups to close out the month of December. Their losses to Liberry, Richmond and Radford were all within 10 points. ■ The Dukes opened the new year losing to Georgetown 63-48 but re- bounded well, beating Colonial Athletic Asso- ciation opponents American, George Mason and Old Dominion. The men then fell in a close game against Virginia Commonwealth University 66-63, but senior guard Jabari Outtz kept the Dukes in the game with a team-high 20 points while sophomore forward Tim Lyle led the team with eight rebounds. The Dukes
went on to beat Richmond 65-64 when junior transfer Mickey Dennis hit a fade-away three- pointer from the corner at the buzzer. ■ Never- theless, the Dukes next experienced a disap- pointing 57-32 loss to N.C. -Wilmington in which they only made 1 1 field goals out of 44 attempts and had only three assists. The men finished their season avenging their loss to N.C. -Wilmington earlier in the season by beating the Seahawks 67-65, remaining un- beaten at home for the season, stretching their home winning streak to 18 games. ■ In his third year as head coach, Sherman Dillard led a young squad consisting of five freshmen, one sophomore, two juniors and four seniors to a 19-8 regular season finish as the regular season CAA co-champions, along v^dth George Mason. The Dukes improved on the previous year's finish of 16-11 and entered the CAA tourna- ment as the second seed. ■

The women's basketball team opened their season with one of the youngest teams in the Colonial Athletic Association. Second-year head coach Bud Childers said, "This season you saw a changing of the guard in the Dukes' women's basketball program. We were not expected to accomplish much coming off a disappointing year, but the influx of new players created a whole different atmosphere with no seniors on the roster." ■ The Dukes opened their season win- ning their first two games at home against Wagner and Murray State. The women then traveled to the DePaul Moran Realty Classic, where they lost two tough match-ups against Northwestern and 22""* ranked DePaul. When the Dukes returned home they had another tough loss to Virginia Tech 50-66, despite shoot- ing 1 00 percent from the free throw line. The Dukes went on to win the next six of seven games including a five game winning streak at
home. The women suffered a tough loss to Rich- mond 11 4- 104 in overtime but rallied back to beat George Mason 65-53. ■ The women played well throughout the season and were dom- inant in the Convocation Center. They had an 1 1 -game home winning streak going into the Old Dominion game. However, the defending CAA champions snapped the streak and beat the Dukes 84-64 despite a tie at the half. ■ "Every night was a real challenge but the lessons learned were quick and effective," said Childers. "At times you could not tell that three or four freshmen were on the floor." ■ Junior Mandy White was the Dukes' leading scorer and "a real key to our success," said Childers. Junior Stacey Todd also helped the Dukes out under the boards in rebounds and led the conference in shooting percentage. Jess Cichowicz, a fresh- man, set a school record for the most assists by a freshman. ■

With a year-round season, the cheerleading squad, coached by Rebecca Grefe, devoted a large part of their college lives to the sport. During the fall these men and women enter- tained and livened the crowd from the sidelines of Brideforth Stadium. In between games, how- ever, a rigorous practice schedule was part of their daily routine. Mondays and Wednesdays at dawn and afternoons on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays the team ran and practiced tumbling, stunting, baskets and pyramids. Strength and conditioning was incorporated into their sched- ule along with rehearsal for games. Once foot- ball season ended, the team was recruited to the Convocation Center where they continued enchanting spectators with their exciting acts. Always anxious for newcomers, the team held tryouts in the fall and held open gyms on Tues- day nights to encourage participation. ■ Although once a varsity and jimior varsity sport, the team was divided into purple and gold teams. The decision was made in an attempt to make the two teams more equal, which gave everyone more experience. Both teams cheered for foot- ball while purple cheered for the mens basket- ball games and gold tor the women s games. In an effon to support all athletic teams, the
squad attended at least one game or match per season for each team. ■ The long-awaited National Competition was open to all colleges and universities and took place over Spring Break in Daytona Beach, Fla. The Dukes com- peted in one of the toughest divisions (Division I with schools of up 30,000 students). During summer camp, teams qualified to attend the National Competition. In the fall, each team submitted a skills video that ranked all the teams. The top 10 teams were offered bids. Training for the competition began in February extending through March and was extremely rigorous and time consuming. In addition to regularly scheduled practice every day, the athletes also had a separate practice for two hours. The schedule was a major time commit- ment for the determined athletes and hardly had an off-season. ■ Captain Amy Callahan felt despite all the hard work, "It's really fun because everyone there really wants to do it and doing it together makes it a great experi- ence." ■ Captain Greg Whitesell felt "Self- motivation is one of our strong points this year. The members of this team, though young, have an incredible ability to push themselves as athletes for the benefit of the whole team." ■

Men's cross country head coach, Dave Rinker, decided not to beat around the bush in his first year. Instead, he led his team to a Colonial Athletic Association Championship allowing the men to retain their title. The men main- tained their momentum through the NCAA Southeast Region Championships in which they placed third out of 25 teams securing an at-large bid to the NCAA National Cham- pionships. ■ Seniors Ben Cooke and David Spiller, and junior Eric Post finished third, fifth and fourth, respectively, at the Spike Shoe Invitational in University Park, Pa. Cooke finished an impressive fourth out of 201 runners at the Paul Short Invitational in Lehigh, Pa., in which the team finished first. ■ The men's CAA Championship was made possible through the leadership of senior Ben Cooke, who placed second with a time of 24:1 1:84. Junior Eric Post's fifth place finish also helped advance the team to the NCAA Southeast Region Championships. With three All-South- east region performers, Cooke, Spiller, and sophomore Mike Smith, the men's team was able to defend the CAA Championship for
the second consecutive year. ■ Complement- ing the men's success, the women's cross country team, coached by Gwen Harris, earned itself a CAA Champion-ship also. It was their first championship since 1995. The women's team also proceeded to the NCAA Southeast Region Championships and placed fourth out of 29 teams to conclude their successfiil season. Senior Heather Hanscom's outstanding first place finishes in the Lou Onesty Invitational, the George Washington Invitational, and the Wolverine Interregional Meet allowed the team to dominate the conference. Tying for second place at the Paul Short Invitational, the 24th ranked women's team watched as Hanscom placed second among the 212 run- ners on the 5000-meter course setting a new JMU record with a time of 17:08.07. Senior Bethany Eigel's second place finish at the Lou Onesty Invitational and third place finish at the George Washington Invitational carried the team into the CAA Championships in which the team placed fourth defeating Wake Forest, Virginia and William & Mary. ■

The fencing team, lead by head coach Paul Campbell and assistant coach Maiy Anne Walker, consisted of a lot more evident talent than the previous year. ■ Six NCAA Regional qualifiers returned to the squad making for a competent, enthusiastic group of women. One of those individuals was team captain Laura Webb. As a senior, Webb more than fulfilled her obliga- tion to the team in the past four years. In the win against Hollins University, Webb was one of nine fencers to finish without a loss. Other team members with a successfiil season were sophomore Tara Saddig, who was a full-time starter and won the foil state championship last season, sophomore Devon Allen, who finished
seventh in the state championships last season, sophomore Allison Schwartz who went 3-0 in foil and sabre in the defeat against Hollins and junior Kim Roberts who was named the top epee fencer at the N.C.-Chapel Hill tournament. Roberts, along with junior Vicki Karousos, was named first-team all-conference last season. ■ Freshman Elisa Browne and sophomore Kelly Scott were added to the epee squad this year making for a talented blend of women. The squad was faced with tough competition last year, including five-time national champion Penn State, Rutgers University, NYU and Northwestern. Each player contributed signi- ficantly to the team's efforts and success. ■

Making their fifth appearance in the NCAA tournament in seven years and their first since 1997, the field hockey team experienced yet another successfiil season. ■ Under head coach Christy Morgan and assistant coaches Amy Fowler and Lisa Cellucci, the field hockey team consisted of five seniors, eight juniors and a strong mix of underclassmen. Coach Morgan described the freshman class as "one of the best in the nation." The team finished second in the CAA behind two-time CAA Champion Old Dominion. The Dukes had a tough schedule facing nationally ranked Duke, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Maryland, Penn State, Virginia and Old Dominion. The Dukes lost to Old Dominion 3-1 in the CAA Championship game and fell one game short of making the NCAA final four, losing to number three ranked Wake Forest 3-0. ■ Coach Morgan referred to the season as "great" and said, "We came close in the finals of the CAA, showing a very intense, disciplined performance. Our experience
in the NCAA tournament was a great one where individuals grew in so many ways." ■ Many athletes were honored for their successes through- out the season. Senior back Katrina Hunter was named CAA Defender of the Year. She was also selected to the All-CAA first team, All- America team, CAA All-Tournament team and she played in the North/South All-Star Game. Colleen Kreiger, a senior midfielder, joined Himter in the North/South All-Star Game, and was named to the All-CAA first team for the third year and the All-South first team. Junior goalie Amanda Latz, who allowed orJy 32 goals and had seven shutouts, was named to the All- CAA first team, All-South region second team and the All-CAA Tourna-ment team. Junior Julie Martinez, senior Sara Perilla and Liz Sanders were all named to the All-CAA second team. Perilla was honored for the third year and had a season record 22 assists. Juniors Whimey Diebolt and Liz Sanders were also honored as All-South second team members. ■

Fans had something to cheer about again as the Dukes made an about-face going 7-1 in the Atlantic- 10 and 8-3 in the regular season after finishing last in their division in 1998. Under first year head coach Mickey Matthews, the Dukes shocked the conference by tying Massachusetts tor the Atlantic- 10 championship when they were prediaed to finish next-to-last in the preseason coaches' poll. The team was ranked as high as sixth nationally in Division I-AA standings and received the Atlantic- lO's automatic bid to the NCAA I-AA tournament. ■ After losing their first game to Virginia Tech, the Dukes rebounded by winning their next seven games. ■ The Dukes' success came as a team effort. Offensively, the Dukes were led by tailback Curtis Keaton who scored 20 touchdowns and ran for a total of 1679 yards. Keaton had eight games with over 100 yards rushing and three consecutive games with over 200 yards rushing. Keaton's highlight game came against the University of Connecticut on Home- coming. In front of a crowd of more than 12,000
fens, Keaton ran for 237 yards and five touchdowns to help defeat the Huskies 48-14. Defensively, Chris Morant led the team with 1 1 sacks, which tied the season record. He was also involved in 63 tackles. ■ Coach Matthews said "Our focus this year was to do the little things right and let the big things work themselves out. We played as a team and we won. This team will be remembered as a turn around team. " ■ The Dukes' quarter- backs were plagued by injuries and forced to use five different quarterbacks this season and as many as three in one game. Junior transfer Charles Berry staned the year, freshman walk-on Mike Connelly provided a spark for the Dukes midseason, and John DeFilippo played in six games without throwing an interception. ■ Bringing excitement back to football, the Dukes produced their first winning season since 1 996. Matthews was named both the Adantic-10 and NCAA Division I-AA Coach of the Year while Keaton was named Offensive Player of the Year and Morant was named Defensive Player of the Year. ■

After a slow start in the fall season, the men's golf team rebounded well in the spring earning one of the best records in the'nation finishing 128-10-2. The Dukes finished in first place at both the Kingsmill-William and Mary Invita- tional and the Kiskiack/William and Mary Invi- tational. Along with these two viaories and great play in all other tournaments, the team made their sixth consecutive appearance in the NCAA East Regional Championship. However, the Dukes finished a disappointing 22nd out of 23 teams. Despite their 22nd finish, the Dukes were very consistent in the scores they shot. ■ "The team members would never shoot really high, resulting in a lower team score and higher team finishes," said team co-captain Faber Jamerson. Jamerson, a senior, led the team and was named
second team AU-CAA and second team AU-State. ■ The fall, however, proved to be a prosperous time as the men jumped into the Navy Fall Invi- tational and took fourth in the tournament. Ben Keefer shot a 144 for two rounds and captured 1 1 th place leading the team to a fourth place finish among 18 teams. One of the season's high- lights was senior Scott Polen's third place finish out of 96 players at the Georgetown Hoya Invitational where he completed both roimds only one stroke behind the leader. Senior Shane Foster mirrored Polen's performance at the Temple Invitational Golf Tournament shooting a 73-71 for second place out of 75 golfers. Re- turning home, the team took third place among 18 teams at the JMU Invitational as Foster tied for third place bettering 87 others' scores. ■

The men's and women's gymnastics teams con- tinued their success in the Eastern College Athletic Conference. The men lost four of their top gymnasts to graduation but had four new- comers to fdl their shoes.

In a competition against William and Mary, he finished first in the all-around, floor exercise, horizontal bar and vault and second in the still rings. During a meet with Temple, senior captain John Kyle
finished first in the vault and freshman Josh Goodwin finished second in the all-around behind Blanton. ■ The women's team lost six gymnasts to graduation but had a strong group of veterans including four seniors and eight juniors.

The spring 1999 lacrosse team experienced another successful season. Finishing 13-5 overall and 6-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association, the team beat Loyola to earn their second con- secutive CAA championship. ■ Despite a disappointing second round loss to Duke in the NCAA tournament, "This was the best overall season and team I've coached here and in JMU history," said head coach Jen Ulehla. ■ The Dukes were ranked in the IWLCA Top 20 ever)' week of the season, as high as second in the nation. The team ended the year ranked sixth in the nation. The lacrosse team had the second strongest schedule in the nation behind the University' of Maryland, pla>'ing nationally ranked North Carolina, Penn State, Loyola, Virginia and defending national champion Mar}'land.

they have ever beaten the Greyhounds. ■ En route to their win, senior Megan Riley broke the career record for goals and finished her career with an impressive 151 goals. The Dukes put up quite a fight against Maryland despite an 12-11 loss in over-time. "It was the best game I have ever been a pan of We gained a lot of confidence and realized that we can play with any of the top teams out there," said coach Ulehla. ■ With five seniors, eight juniors, five sophomores and six freshmen, the Dukes pulled off huge wins against North Carolina, Old Dominion, Delaware, William and Mary, George Mason and Rutgers, all nationally ranked.

With more than half their starting line up lost to graduation in the spring and only two seniors on the team, the men's soccer team faced a tough schedule with a very young team. The Dukes finished the season 11-8-1 overall and 4-4 in the Colonial Athletic Association. Head coach Tom Martin said, "Despite our record, our season went very well. We accomplished a lot and had some significant victories." ■ The Dukes opened the season winning five of their first six contests and had a 2-2 double overdme tie to the University of Pennsylvania. Despite a total of eight losses and an early first round exit in the CAA tournament, the men's team came away with two huge viaories against tough nonconference teams. The Dukes beat Portland University 3-2 in the George Mason/Kappa Classic early in the fall and also beat the eventual national champion Indiana University, 2-0 in the Florida Internadonal Bell South Classic. ■
"The win against Indiana was very gratifying for the kids. They played well and got everything done in order to win. They played hard and deserved that win especially since it was such a difficult tournament. That win and the way our guys played was very satisfying for me as a coach. " ■ During the season, coach Martin, in his 1 4th year, captured his 200th victory at JMU against St. Francis of Pennsylvania. Manin finished the year with 205 JMU vic- tories and 324 in his career. ■ At the end of the season, two Dukes were named to the All-CAA men's soccer team. Junior forward Brandon Wright and junior midfielder Randy Steeprow were both named to the second team for their accomplishments last season. Wright was the team's leading scorer with 1 1 goals and ranked fourth in the league. Steeprow was the team's assists leader with nine and tied for the league lead. ■

The women's soccer team enjoyed another exciting season under head coach Dave Lom- bardo, in his 10th year. Lombardo's squad ended their season 14-7-1 overall and 6-1-1 in the CAA, finishing second and making their fifth consecutive NCAA appearance. The Dukes opened the season with a 1-0 win against West Virginia and continued to win eight of their next 1 1 contests, including a huge, first-time 2-1 upset over rival University of Virginia. Like the men's soccer head coach Tom Martin, Dave Lombardo also celebrated his 200th victory as a coach with a 2-0 win over George Wash- ington. The Dukes made a disappointing early exit in the CAA tournament in a 2-1 loss to Richmond. However, the Dukes rebounded with an at-iarge bid to the NCAA tournament. The women made it to roimd of 32 when they beat University of Pennsylvania 1-0, but fell
to the University of Virginia in a 3-1 loss. ■ Lombardo regarded the season as a "bonus season for us because after losing seven starters from last year's NCAA tournament team, nobody expected us to return to the NCAA tournament again." Not only did the team return to the tournament, they were also ranked in the nation's Top 20 — as high as 13th — for the ninth straight year. The Dukes finished the year outscoring their opponents 43-28 and outshooting them 346-254. ■ At the end of the season, five athletes were named to the 1999 CAA women's soccer team. Senior forward Aimee Grahe, sophomore midfielder Beth Burgess, and junior midfielder Christy Yacono were named to the first team while junior defender Lenore Brey and sophomore goalkeeper Suzanne Wilson grabbed second team honors. ■

After raising the anciior tiiat weighed down the swimming and diving team in their first two meets, the men cut swiftly through the water in their next three appearances. In the comftjrt ot their own pool, the men faced the University of Maryland-Baltimore County and won 131- 113. In the 100-yard freestyle, fteshman Adam Gustafson touched at 48.16, over 19 seconds ahead of any UMBC swimmer. Above the water, freshman Jeff Hudson nailed the 3-meter spring- board with a score of 236.55 while the com- bined effort of sophomores Justin Molle and John McLaren, Cartin and Gustafson in the 400-yard freestyle relay earned them first place. ■ In what turned out to be a poolside massacre, the men's swimming and diving team drowned Virginia Military Institute 187-45. Grant was among the team's top performers at the meet; his 400-yard medley relay team finished third while he individually finished first and second among the team's swimmers in the 200-yard backstroke and 200-yard breaststroke, respec- tively. The following week, the men's team sank George Mason in consecutive meets 1 86-82 and 143-77. ■ Despite the women's season opening loss, they regained their composure and won the next five meets. Wiping out both George Mason University and American University, the team was led by sophomore A.C. Cruickshanks who took first place in the 400-yard individual
medley and the 200-yard butterfly. Junior Samantha Smith broke her own school record in the 200-yard breaststroke and captured first place in the 100-yard breaststroke to complete the successful meet. ■ At home, the women achieved victory over one of the nation's top Division III teams, Mary Washington College, by a score of 148-98. Freshman Marie Hans- brough, Cruickshanks, Smith and Lestyan secured first place in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:52. Smith again placed first in the 100-yard breaststroke while freshman Jessica Holm Dahl touched with first-place in the 200-yard breaststroke. ■ Both the men's and women's swimming and diving teams were able to beat William and Mary at home as the women won 145-98 and the men won 148-91. ■ Cruickshanks acquired first in the 1000 freestyle in 10:31.20 and the 200 butterfly in 2:06.29 as a standout in the meet, while Smith maintained her unblemished record of 1 5-0 after winning the 200 in 2:21.97. For the men, Cartin won the 1000-yard freestyle in 9:42.07 and Hudson secured first place in the one-meter and the three-meter springboards with scores of 226.875 and 253.575, respectively. "The teams concentrated on their final three meets before entering the CAA Championships where the men placed first among seven teams and the women finished second among eight teams. ■

The men's tennis team improved its record from their previous season. The men's squad, coached by Steve Secord, finished 1 5-8 overall and 5-3 in the Colo- nial Athletic Association. The team fin- ished fourth in the CAA tournament behind three nationally ranked teams and was fifth in the region in the Inter- national Tennis Association rankings. ■ Sophomore Luis Rosado at the number one spot and freshman Andrew Lux at the nimiber two spot led the team. Rosado has held the number one spot since coming to JMU in the spring of 1998. He had 14 singles wins and eight doubles wins last spring. Rosado's accom- plishments earned him a spot on the All- CAA first team. Lux finished the season
with a 12-6 record in singles play and a 12-6 record in doubles play. ■ Returning in the fall, the men opened their season with a win at the Citizens Bank Colle- giate Clay Court Championships in Kingsport, Tenn. Freshman Andrew Lux's 3-1 record in the tournament earned him Consolation Champion honors, and he later went on to play in the William and Mar\' tournament where he was 2-1. At the East Coast Collc^te Men's Tennis Championship, junior Doug Sherman became the men's "D" Consolation Cham- pion after a 2-1 viaory contributing to the 1 1-7 win. The men's doubles team solid performance resulted in an overall 5-3 record, while freshman Adriaan Winter- mans concluded the season 8-4. ■

The women's tennis team had a good season despite their very young squad consisting of one senior, four sophomores and three freshmen. They finished 1 1-7 overall, in sixth place in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament. ■ Coach Maria Malerba attributed the success of their season to the sophomore class. "After setting a standard for hard work and dedication, our four returning juniors will now use their experience and maturity to lead the team. A majority of the success we obtained was a direct product of that class," said Malerba. ■ The main contributors to the team were Sheri Puppo and Lauren Dalton. Puppo and Dalton finished the season ranked 1 1th out of 300 teams in doubles competition and had a 22-9 record for the year. Puppo, a rwo-time All-CAA honoree, earned the MVP award writh 1 2 victories in the spring and ranked 24th in the region. Dalton
finished the season 11-6 in the number two singles spot and received the Coaches' Award for her play this season. Sarah Granson, a junior, finished the season with the best singles record of 12-4. ■ Additionally in the fall, the women's preparation resulted in victory as they aquired a 1 4-7 win at the Virginia Tech Invitational. Freshman Shell Grover was undefeated as the flight three champion with Dalton acquiring consolation champion. Grove and Granson combined their talents to become champions in the doubles flight three. Their accomplish- ments carried over into the East Coast Colle- giate Women's Tennis Championships with the doubles teams out-playing their opponents and obtaining a 9-1 record. Puppo and Dalton (10-3) mirrored their performance at the ITA/ECAC Team Championships, in which they were undefeated. ■

The 1999 track season was full of highlights and record breakers for both the men's and women's teams. The men, coached by Bill Walton, had their most successfiil season in history. The team ended the season placing third in the Colonial Athledc Association championship and tied for 53rd in the NCAA tournament. The indoor squad was fifth in the Intercollegiate Associa- tion of Amatuer Athletes of America meet in Boston. The IC4A is the Eastern Champion- ships consisting of 1 00 Division I schools from North Carolina to Maine including Notre Dame. ■ "We work hard every year and build our program around the IC4A tournament," said coach Walton. ■ At the NCAA Cham- pionships in Indianapolis, Jason Long, Paul Lewis, Rob Montgomery and Russ Coleman were all named All-Americans in the distance medley relay for finishing in the top eight. The outdoor squad finished fourth at the IC4A in Fairfax, Va. Long and Lewis qualified for the NCAA championships in the 1 ,500m the 400m, respectively. It was at the NCAA Division I National Championship in which Long earned All-America honors with his sixth-place finish
in the 1,500m (3:50.63). The men's team gained national attention when Long, Lewis and Coleman participated in the USA National Championships. Long and Lewis both qualified for the 2000 Olympic Trials. The team had five athletes post national-level performances in eight events. Sixteen athletes earned All-East honors and Mike Smith made the U.S. Jr. Pan- American Team and placed third in the 5,000m at the Jr. Pan-American Games. ■ The team set numerous school records including the distance medley relay, 400m and 500m indoors and in the 4x1 mile relay, 200m, 400m, 800m, 5,000m and 10,000m outdoors. Coach Walton summed up the Dukes' season by saying "Our highest quality depth was in the distance area, however the key to our teams' success at the championships was due to balanced scoring in the sprints, jumps and distance events. The upperclassmen displayed true leadership and the younger athletes performed to their abilities. " ■ The women's team had another good season under the coaching of Gwen Harris. The Dukes finished sixth in the CAA championships, 13th in the Eastern College Athletic Conference
Indoor Championships and tied 21st in the ECAC Outdoor championships. The women's best performance was at the Colonial Relays in Williamsburg, Va., where the team finished tied for second out of 1 8 teams. ■ Both Seun Augustus and Keisha Banks set several new school records. At the Virginia Tech Pentathlon, Augustus set school records in the pentathlon with a score of 3,488 points and in the pen- tathlon 60m hurdles with a time of 9.2 seconds. Augustus also set a school record in the long jump at the CAA Championships where she finished second. Banks set a school record in the 1,000m run with a time of 2:20.7 at the Virginia Tech Kroger Invitational. At the Adidas Invitational, Banks came in first in the 800m run setting a school record of 2:07.98. Many Dukes were honored for their accom- plishments this season. Banks was named the team's most outstanding athlete in running events. Bethany Eigel was a finalist for the JMU Female Athlete of the Year. Banks, Augustus, Sarah Burkett, Eigel and Heather Hanscom were all recognized for their individual achieve- ments on the All-East team. ■

The volleyball team finished their season atop the Colonial Athletic Association for the second year in a row but also captured the CAA Champion- ship tide and made their first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament. The Dukes beat Ameri- can 10-15, 15-2, 15-7, 15-13 to win the CAA title but lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to the University of San Diego 3-15, 7-15, and 11-15. ■ Head coach Chris Beerman and his first recruiting class finished the season 26-7 overall and 13-1 in the CAA. "This is what you hope for when you build a program, you want the first recruiting class to be able to win a championship," said coach Beerman. The Dukes opened the season winning their first seven games before losing to Pittsburgh in a tough five-game match. The team swept the CAA only losing to the defending CAA champion American in five games. The Dukes later avenged the loss by beating American twice, once at home in a quick 15-12, 15-12, 15-5 match and again to clinch the CAA championship. The Dukes' only home loss of the season came against Virginia in an intense five-game upset. The team finished the season
in Long Beach, Calif., in a Thanksgiving tour- nament in which they went 1-2 defeating the 1999 Mid-Continent champion, Oral Roberts. The team lost to Southern California and de- fending NCAA champion Long Beach State. ■ With nine returning players, four of who are returning starters, and one newcomer, head coach Beerman considered his team the "best defensive team in the CAA." Senior Lindsay CoUingwood, a three time All-CAA and All- State selection was a huge contributor both offensively and defensively this season. CoUing- wood was named CAA Player of the Year for her accomplishments as she led the team in kills and digs and ranked in the Top 1 5 in the nation in service aces. Senior Taryn Kirk and junior Karla Gessler were both named to the All-CAA first team and were both among the national leaders in hitting percentage, .377 and .384, respectively. Gessler set a school record in hitting percentage last season, sur- passing Kirk's record set in 1998. Senior setter Christina Gianino, an All-CAA second team selection, had 1376 assists and averaged 1 1.97 assists per game. ■

The wrestling team returned to the mat late in November at the 22nd Annual Navy Classic, only the mats of Annapolis, Md., were not as kind to them as they hoped. Placing fifth out of eight teams, the team managed to outscore Virginia Tech, but were pinned behind the other tour teams who watched West Virginia walk away winners. The following week, the wresders finished seventh among 12 teams at the 19th Annual Sheridan Invitational in Bethlehem, Pa., but continued to improve as they traveled to West Palm Beach for die 1999 Orange Bowl Sunshine Open to secure seventh place out of the 22 teams present. ■ As the first dominating match of the season, the team placed second at the Millersville Belles Tournarhent, rolling over 25 teams as sophomore Seth Cameron earned three major decisions, finished 5-0 and was named the Outstanding Wresder of the tourna- ment. ■ Seniors Mike Coyle and Elliott Williams displayed leadership and experience combining for four decisions, including a major decision by Williams. Coyle's impressive first- period wins foreshadowed his dominance in the championship match. Senior Dave Vollmer contributed to the team's performance placing fourth in the tournament at the 141-pound level. ■ Navy slowed the team's momentum.
however, at the team's home opener in Godwin Hall with a 21-15 win. The efforts of Coyle, Cameron and junior D.J. Hockman were not enough to propel the team to victory, but it did provide motivation toward their match-up with Virginia Military Instimte which paid off indefi- nitely. Blowing away the cadets, the team easily won 31-11 as Coyle, Vollmer, Williams, and sophomores Jonathan Huesdash and Jim O'Connor scored major decisions over their opponents. ■ The team entered the Virginia State Championships following the viaory where they finished second among seven teams. Then men continued to punish their opponents win- ning seven of the remaining 1 1 meets, including a 52-0 shutout over Howard. At home two weeks later, the team rolled over American University 31-12, a win in which Vollmer and freshman Brian Consolvo pinned their opponents back- to-back, leading the team to a 4-0 record in season. ■ "These are outstanding kids in the program; they're not a team of individuals," said Coach Jeff "Peanut" Bowyer. "At each meet, someone new carried the ball." Illustrating the coach's words, the team finished the year unde- feated in the CAA, and were optimistic as they entered the CAA Championships where they hoped to defend their title. ■

-Ycyj^ ^ ^y^-o/^^

Looking back over four years, I can honestly say that much has changed. I have grown, and I have learned much from other people. Getting through four years of constant challenges doesn't come without the support of many people for whom 1 am very thankful.
I am thankful for everyone on staff. This year was fuU of growth. Growth in what the Bluestone was to become: a more accurate reflection of all of us as students and all of us as part of something bigger than ourselves. I thank every- one who gave of their time, their sanity and of themselves. Each staff member brought a part of themselves to this book and it is greatly appreciated.
I am thankfiil for the CCM community. This commu- nity welcomes all and encourages everyone to be themselves, whoever they may be and wherever they may be on their spiritual journey. I thank Father John for being a friend and for challenging me "to go deeper" in search of knowledge of myself and of my faith.
I am thanldul for Rachel, who was one of the first people who welcomed me to be a part of the Bluestone. Through these past four years, I have appreciated your friendship, your help and your guidance.
I am thankful for Leah, whose talents and persistence show that if you want something, you work hard to achieve it, and you don't settle for anything less than perfection. Thank you for sharing of yourself through your work.
And, finally, I am thank- fid for my family. Thank you IB|l^Hf''N '^t^^_M^'\ for understanding my crazy schedule, my commitment to the book and for under- standing me. Mom, through your example, you have shown me to do my best. Thank you for being a wonderful mother to me, Matthew and Kelly. Dad, may you feel the love and support of family.
Change is supposed to be what college is all about. That's what I've heard anyway. What I have experienced has been life changing. I may not have retained every fact that I learned in all of my classes, but 1 have learned that, when it comes down to it, we all have a lot more in common than we think. I hope you had the opportunity to be enlightened by something in this book, and in turn, were able to see a reflection of your own spirit as well. ■
