Emulating the perfect geometry

of ancient Greek structures,

the Doric columns of Wilson

Hall lend classic architectural

O m

elements to an American design.

Like its buildings, the university

EXEMPLIFIED a blend of old and new styles, retaining the

o

best elements of the campus

o

and its curriculums while

improving with the changing

times. As a physical symbol of

the university and its commit-

ment to excellence, students

identified their college experience

with the familiar structure.

As the 2,800 graduates of the Class of 2000 filed into Bridgeforth Stadium in their traditional caps and gowns, a crowd of approximately 23,000 friends and family members looked down onto the procession with pride and excitement. President Linwood H. Rose conferred 2,645 undergraduate and 1 58 graduate degrees during the 10 a.m. main ceremony on May 4, 2000.

The weather, unusually warm for early May, brought beautiful blue skies and light winds to the valley, allowing the audience to break out their hats, sunscreen and summer wardrobes. After traditional introductions, keynote speaker Richard H. Brown, CEO or Electronic Data Systems Corp., a leading global information technology services company, implored graduates to use the power of the information age not only to better themselves but also to better the world.

As the first graduates of the new century. Brown told the class that they faced a new age of information technology that has changed life faster than at any other time in history. Power and connectedness, he continued, had created vast opportunity and greater responsibility on our part. "Power won't make you smarter. It won't make you more successful. It won't make you happier. And I don't believe it will make the world a better place - power rarely has," said Brown. "But using this power responsibly affords your generation amazing opportunities - opportunities to help humankind. And that will make the world a better place."

Brown encouraged graduates to give technology its soul and heartbeat to ensure a bright and safer future for humankind. In closing, he challenged graduates to go out into the world to make that difference. "Technology can give you the tools today to build an extraordinary tomorrow. It can link your soul to the world's and light up the sky. It can connect your heart to its people and keep them safe," said Brown. "So, take that technology and astound yourselves, astound your parents, astound vour community, and astound the world." END

BY GULLEY

From the beginning, Lindsay Collingwood was born to be a volleyball star. From playing asphalt club volleyball at age 10 to ending her career as the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Player of the Year at age 2 1 , volleyball had always been a significant part of her life.

Originally from San Diego, Calif., volleyball brought Lindsay to the East Coast. "I have always wanted to go to school in the east," Collingwood said. "So when I was recruited by JMU it was the opportunity I had been waiting for." JMU was not the only school with their eyes on Collingwood. The University of Connedcut and the University of Illinois had also tried to recruit her at a tournament in Las Vegas.

Growing up in San Diego was much different than growing up in the east for the volleyball enthusiast. "Volleyball is really big in California. The majority of the girls I played with in both high school and on club continued volleyball in college," said Collingwood. When asked how she first got involved in volleyball, she blushed and said, "Actually my older sister played volleyball, and the first team I ever played on was with her. She was my role model and I wanted to be just like her." Her sister continued to play at the college level while attending William and Mary, prompt- ing Collingwood's interest in an East Coast school. "My sister has played a very important role in my volleyball career. I don't know what my parents are going to do now that me and my sister are both done playing. They really enjoyed coming to the matches." (continued on p. 31)

(continued from p. 29) Since her early days on the asphalt team, family, coaches and friends could see Collingwood's potential and skill for the sport. At age 13, she began playing for the San Diego Volleyball Club under the instruction of Dave Whitaker. During her four years at Torrey Pines High School, she played for the club, junior varsity and varsity teams. Senior year brought Collingwood distinction as the captain of the varsity team under the instruction of Missy McLinden. "To many people's surprise, club was much more competitive than my high school team. In fact, the club team is where I got recruited from, not my high school team," said Collingwood.

The influence of volleyball was evident in several aspects of Collingwood's life. Even her childhood friends showed a similar enthusiasm for the sport and went on to play in college as well. "My best friend since the fourth grade, Julie Cowley, now plays for Wake Forest. My friend Paige Perry, a friend since the fifth grade, plays for Dartmouth and my friend Allison Ross, a friend since high school, plays for Wisconsin," she said.

Once Collingwood came to campus, she quickly made close friends with fellow volleyball players like Taryn Kirk. She and Taryn not only shared a living area and a love of volleyball, but also had the same classes. "We have been attached at the hip for four-and-a-half years," said Kirk. "Most people would have thought with us being so close that there would have been competition between us, but there isn't at all. We play different

—^ positions. I am a middle blocker and Lindsay is

an outside hitter."

Collingwood dedicated 1 5 hours a week to practice, had two matches a weekend and one during the week as well. "Lindsay is such a wonderful athlete. In 1996, she really turned the volleyball program around and helped mold us into the team that we are," said Kirk.

Collingwood won notable awards for her accomplishments in volleyball throughout her college career. During her freshman year, she was awarded CAA Rookie of the Year, led the CAA in dig average (3.96) and was second in kill average (4.36), while also setting school single season records in each category. Her sophomore year, Collingwood was twice named the CAA player of the week and ranked second in the CAA in both kill average (4.47) and dig average (3.66) and tied for fourth in ace average (.49). As a junior, Lindsay continued to set school records by becoming the first player in the program's history to have more than 1,000 kills and digs, (continued on p. 32)

(continued from p. 31) It was Collingwood's senior year of college, however, that proved to be her greatest. In her final season, she was named the CAA and State Player of the Year and the JMU Female Athlete of the Year. According to Athletic Director JefF Bourne, her athletic ability, leadership qualities and determi- nation made her the perfect candidate for the university's award "Lindsay served as an inspiration for her team last year and pro- vided the motivational leadership that was imperative to win key matches under pressure. She has wonderful ability and a deep desire to achieve success," said Bourne. "This combination provides her with the skills necessary to be a natural leader and a role model for her team members. It's a pleasure to have her as part of our family and share in her success."

Collingwood led the CAA in ace average (0.54) and led the team in kills (455), digs (353) and service aces (61). Collingwood finished her career holding 12 school records including kills (1,872), digs (1,570 and aces (204). She was awarded first team All-Conference and first team All-State all four years.

Volleyball took Collingwood to high places and won her coundess awards ever since she first learned to serve the ball. Deciding not to continue as a participant in the sport after college, Collingwood devoted time to assisting the varsity and club teams, further inspiring her teammates. "Lindsay was a great leader by example. I think everyone on the team felt confident that if she was set, the ball was going to be put away," said senior and fellow teammate Karla Gessler. "She was well respected and feared in the CAA because of her hitting and serving abilities, but she also had some of the best defensive and passing skills in the conference, which kept us in many games."

Gessler honored Collingwood when she said, "Lindsay is the definition of a true volleyball player. She is a smart player with a strong mental game. She is quick and she doesn't give up. From her, I learned what it meant to compete." END

Despite the pouring rain outside, senior smad students combined their talents with that of the pat McGee Band to put together the department's first- ever rockumentary.

BYAIMEECOSTELLO MANDIE

The Pat McGee Band filled Wilson Hall on April 17 with impressive music and contagious energy while students from the School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD), dressed in black shirts, scurried around the auditorium filming the concert tor their senior production project.

The band made their first-ever appearance in Wilson Hall at the request of students in SMAD 433, an advanced digital video course, and SMAD 434, an advanced audio production course, in order to put together their senior production project and help raise money for the SMAD scholarship fund. SMAD 433 and 434 had been part of the departments curriculum for the last four years to provide seniors a chance to produce something and get hands-on experience.

In April 1999, senior SMAD students from the video and audio courses put together the video "One Day/One University" as their senior project and raised $10,000 for the scholarship fund. The video, which was a huge success on campus when it premiered in PC Ballroom, was also recognized with two prestigious awards. The video (continued on p. 37)

(continued from p. 34) won first place in the promotions category by the Broadcast Editor's Association and was given the 2000 Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) award by the university for video general information features.

Students of SMAD 433 and 434 wanted to do something different from past classes and liked the idea of creating a pilot video featuring a variety of different Virginia-based bands. That idea fell through, however, after complications arose with organizing and confirm- ing the groups. Instead, the students came up with the idea of doing a documentary on a local band.

The students looked at a few bands and then decided on the Pat McGee band for two reasons. First, Pat McGee loved coming to JMU and wanted the chance to play in Wilson Hall. The band was also well-known and well-liked by a good percentage of students on campus. According to Beth Phares, the concert production and promotions producer, "We focused on the Pat McGee Band because we knew that there were Pat McGee fans all over campus and it was important to me, as a producer of the concert, to have someone that at least some students would really enjoy."

So with a little help from Chris Stup of the University Program Board, they were able to contact the band and pitch their idea. "When the video department called, I was blown away with how much they had put into the proposal and how much they were going to get involved not only at the show but all week leading up to the show," said the bands lead singer Pat McGee.

After the band had been chosen, the hard work began. The students only had three weeks to prepare for the concert in which they had to promote, set-up and coordinate the entire event. First, they sent a crew of students out with the band for two weeks to see what life on the road was like. Senior Dylan Boucherle headed two day trips with the band. For the first trip an eight-member crew followed the band to Charlottes- ville, Va. for a show at the popular nightspot, Trax. The second trip included a 12-member crew headed for Northern Virginia. The students followed the band to Falls Church where they played a concert at the State Theatre and to Tysons Corner for a record signing and acoustical set at Tower Records to promote their new CD, Shine. While on the road, the students inter- viewed members about what life had been like since joining the band and talked to fans.

Back in Harrisonburg, students worked hard promoting the concert around campus, talking to area businesses to donate money and equipment, setting up a post-production company and confirming the use of Wilson Hall. In total, the SMAD students were able to raise close to a quarter of a million dollars in donated equipment and services. The donated video equipment alone cost close to $100,000 and the audio equipment was between $80,000 - $100,000.

When concert night finally arrived, it was pouring outside, students were soaked to the bone but everyone had a good time. The show lasted two hours and featured songs from the band's new CD, but also gave into the crowd's pleas for old favorites such as "Rebecca," "Girl from Athens," (continued on p. 38)

(continued from p. 3~) and "Passion." Despite not selling out the concert, many people were still able to enjoy the concert, which was red live via the Internet.

After the concert was over, the students began to edit and put the documentary together. The first step required them to go to Washington, D.C. for post- production editing with a former student and commu- nication major, Henry Holdern of Interface Video Group. Holdren and Interface donated all their time and equipment to help the SMAD students edit the 12 videos from the concert. After editing, the students came back to campus and threaded the videos together into a 20-minute documentary.

The finished product featured three of the songs plaved at the concert, "Rebecca," "Runaway, "Shine and clips of the footage from on the road with the band including interviews with band members and tans. The band saw the video for the first time in the tall and were extremely impressed with the product. "During the show, the students were as professional, if not more, than most 'professional' mobile recording labs that I have ever been involved with. I just received the final copy of the tape and we were nothing short of blown away when I viewed it with the band. In fact we have already sent it out to some industry rvpes for promotional use about the band," said McGee. "I can't thank the SMAD department and JMU enough for such an amazing job.

In the end, the students raised another S10,000 for the SMAD scholarship fund, which brought the

total to S20.000, and hoped to start giving out scholarships in the spring of 2001. "SMAD doesn't have any rights to the video and of course it would be nice to be able to make some more money for the scholarship fund but right now it is just cool knowing that otir names, the department's name and the school's name is on the video that we all worked so very hard on and are very proud of," said Boucherle. "It is an even better feeling knowing that the band liked the video and are considering using it to promote them."

There were 85 students and three faculty members involved in the production of the documentary that took a semester to assemble. Boucherle was the head student producer ol the video, senior Beth Phares handled concert promotion and senior Bryce Bigger headed the production of the concert via the Internet. Faculty members included SMAD 455 professor John Woody who handled video production, SMAD 434 professor |ohn Fishell, in charge of audio production and Chris Stup with the University Program Board.

"The video is finally completed and we are all tired, dead tired, especially the kids. They worked real hard on this project and did an outstanding job," said Woody of his experience on the project. "This is truly a student production. We, the faculty members, were just there to help if they needed us." Woodv also hoped to submit the video to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences tor Student Production, which is like the Emmys tor students. "I think we have a good chance to place with this video," said Woody. T END

72 Straight Hours Independent Bands

BY SHOWALTER CHRISTINA

Kicking oft the fourth annual conference of the Mid-Atlantic College Radio Conference (MACRoCk), bands with colorful names like Black Beetle, Buckledown, and Infectious Organisms invaded Harrisonburg for two days of good tunes and good times. Traveling from as far away as California to play at the event coordinated by 88.7 FM, WXJM, MACRoCk was one of the largest college music conferences not only on the East Coast, but also in the United States.

With music venues on campus and around Harrisonburg, MACRoCk included more than 85 live performances by musicians in the genre of rock, loud rock, punk, jazz, folk, hip-hop, and dance. Director Laurel Deppen and Assistant Director Meg Ruane helped shape the conference with the assistance of WXJM members and volunteers.

"I have run MACRoCk for the past two years and I am continually amazed at the coordination abilities of the WXJM students and of the kindness of the MACRoCk attendants," said Deppen. "The overall vibe of the conference is one of respect for independent thought and independent living. We host thousands of people in this tiny town, and we never have security problems. I hope MACRoCk is a symbol of the good in todays society and I hope this conference proves music is the true essence of being for all."

Participants in the weekend's events were either unsigned or part of independent (continued on p. 43)

(continued from p. 40) record labels such as New Direction and Lovitt Records. These labels tradi- tionally did business on a smaller scale financially and focused more on the music instead of the politics and business aspect of the major labels.

During one of the first events of the weekend. Black Beede played a three-song set live that was broadcast over the radio station. Michael Tighe, guitarist for the band, and his band mates learned of the conference from their manager and thought it sounded like a good idea. In addition to live performances, the weekend included a label exposition, workshops, panels on music, and guest speakers. The label exposition gave bands and fans a chance to interact and learn more about each other. Music panels involved such topics as the media's association with music and loud rock.

"The panel served as a discussion of college radio and its importance in that we serve as a means of breaking bands, exposing artists, and working to keep the loud rock scene alive," said Suzanna Paradise, a partici- pant in the loud rock panel.

MACRoCk provided a place for fans, artists, labels, and other music industry persons to converge, meet, listen, and inform each other about any aspect of the music they held dear. The informal nature of the weekend placed emphasis on awareness and the music itself Fans were given the chance to interact with band members before or after the show, at the merchandise table, or later in the conference. By becoming submerged in the weekend and its events, one could hear complete strangers striking up conversations to discuss everything from their favorite bands of the conference to the relevant issues of the music business.

Visiting student, Marjorie McKay from Elon College came away with more than a favorable impression of MACRoCk and its coordinators. "I got to meet a lot of people with similar interests and different backgrounds. JMU must be a pretty awesome school to host such an event like MACRoCk," she said. END

"Let me win. But if I

cannot win, let me be

brave in my attempt."

-The Special

Olympics motto

BYLEIGHTODD

A memorable occasion always occurred when students came together with their community. When the Special Olympics brought their games to Bridgerorth Stadium on April 30, students from many clubs, athletic teams, fraternities and sororities and classes came out to support the handicapped men, women and children of Shenandoah, Page, and Rockingham counties, as well as the city of Harrisonburg.

The Special Olympics, founded in 1968, consisted ot year-round training and competition, and boasted over one million athletes in its 22-year history. Their motto, "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in my attempt" encompassed its purpose which was to provide persons with mental retardation with opportunities to become useful and productive citizens while boosting their self-esteem and physical fitness. More than 150 countries had an accredited Special Olympics program and showcased participants from the age of eight to persons well into their adult years with a specific mental or physical problem.

Participants competed in events similar to track and field, such as the long jump, the high jump, the shot put, and the 100-meter and 50-meter race. Dr. Steve Carney, assistant professor of Sports Manage- ment, was in charge of the event. He had previously worked with the Special Olympics in Florida and Alabama, and enjoyed helping because it was "an event that brought JMU and Harrisonburg together." Athletes came from all over Virginia to participate in the state meet. Carney worked closely with Daniel Leake, the northwest section director of Special Olympics in Virginia, to organize the event. "Daniel is very supportive ol myself, the student organizations, and JMU's involvement with Special Olympics," said Carney.

Leake, who was in charge of getting the athletes in the right heat and divisions, felt that the "number of volunteers was outstanding, (continued on p. 47)

We had a tremendous amount of support." However, both Leake and Carney wished that there had been more spectators cheering on the athletes. Although the crowd was larger than in past years, it was still small and seemed even smaller in the football stadium due to its size. "In order to gain a bigger audience, there needed to be more publicity," said Leake. "The stadium also has something to do with it. The stadium seats around 10,000 and even if there were 1 ,000 spectators, it still looked like it was only a few."

Students involved in sports and organizations came out to help with the event, primarily serving as buddies to the athletes. Each buddy helped his or her athlete get to each event and cheered them on while they competed. The women's soccer club, cheerlead- ers, football players, and the wrestling team were just a few of the teams that came out to support the special athletes.

Jonathan McCall, the events torch bearer and a participant, was followed by cheerleaders Brian Mabry, Adam Weiss, and Nick Salerno. "I came out to help. We just follow him around to each of his events and cheer him on," said Mabry. Senior Tony Washington, a member of Phi Epsilon Kappa, was also local resident Daniel Kimberly's buddy. "I'm just here to have fun," said Washington.

PEK has helped with Special Olympics for the past couple of years and usually helped with promot- ing, organizing and managing the event. "PEK, the

o)E7Rffl[?D(

professional organization for Kinesiology, made up a large part of the management team," said Carney. "Students majoring in Exercise Science, Physical Education, and Recreation and Sports Management donated several hours of their own time to help make this event a success."

As the event director, Carney was grateful to all the people who helped him in making the day so successful and special for the participants. "My effort is just a small part of this event. I do not and could not do everything without the help of previous event directors, the Special Olympics Section Director and a very long list of individual and group volunteers," said Carney.

As a result of his successful coordination of the event, Carney was invited to make a presentation to Special Olympic regional directors, area council members, event directors and volunteers in September at the Special Olympics State Confer- ence in Richmond on "Developing Partnerships with Colleges and Universities."

The success of the event generated more volun- teers and spectators than in past years and coordinators hoped to continue the trend in the years to come.

"I'd like to see this event evolve into a truly memorable experience for the athletes, as well as the students, faculty, and staff of JMU and the Harrisonburg community. My goal is to improve the quality of the event every year," said Carney. I end

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was poised to become the champion of the world. He was young and quickly becoming a master in the boxing ring. In 1966, while making plans for a second fight for the middleweight championship, Carter and a friend, John Artis, were charged with a triple murder in Paterson, N.J. They both had unshakeable alibis, but the prosecution relied on two key witnesses who were coincidendy petty thieves that later recanted their testimony. Although the murder weapons were never found and Carter and Artis never admitted to the crimes, they were sentenced for the crimes anyway.

In 1974, Carter published his story, "The Sixteenth Round: From Number 1 Contender to #45472," while he was an inmate at Rahway State Prison. The book led to celebrity attention about his incarceration and to Bob Dylans song about the injustice that had occurred. A second trial ensued and he was sent back to prison until he was freed in 1985. (continued on p. 50)

(continued from p. 49) Ordinarily on a cold winter evening, students would rush by Wilson Hall on the way to dinner or to a late night class. However, on February 29, the masses huddled around the doors or Wilson Hall. Cadets at the door turned them away warning that there was going to be a fire code violation. But still they milled around outside hoping to catch a glance of the man called "The Hurricane".

After seeing the recently released film, "The Hurricane" with Denzel Washington, students knew the power of his story and wanted to hear the man's own words on his life. The doors of Wilson opened at 6:10 p.m. and by 6:20 p.m. the auditorium was filled to capacity. Cadets directed students to overfill areas in Taylor and Warren where remote feeds were setup. Those who lived on campus were told that they could see the speech on campus channel 43. Some students expressed dismay at the lack of space. "I am really glad that students turned out for this," said senior Kathleen Trent. "I'm just upset I didn't make it into Wilson to see him speak."

At 7 p.m. most of the overfill areas were full as well and when the introductions were made, Carter was met on stage by a standing ovation. During his speech, he tackled many issues facing the campus as well as the world. Carter first learned "to speak with his fists" when he was child. He had a debilitating stutter that kept him silent and when he was teased, he did not know how to fight with words. Instead, he would act out. He stressed the need to listen to everyone, and to

acknowledge differences but not to let them be a point for exclusion. By the time he learned to contain his fury in a boxing ring in Germany, Hurricane Carters fists spoke volumes. His opponents were pummeled swiftly and mercilessly. He won two European light-welter- weight championships, and during the same period enrolled in a Dale Carnegie speech program and began studying Islam. It was the beginning of two alternating threads - fighting and learning - which would run through much of Carter's career and later confinement.

Carter spoke of the different races as tribes of different colors. He explained the tribes' different evolutions and how they function in today's society. He asked students not to be bitter and to look at each other with compassion and understanding of different cultures. He also talked about how the education system was failing young people. The young man that helped him to his freedom, Lesra Martin, had been going to school all his life yet he could barely read when his Canadian family adopted him as a teenager.

Carter also covered the prison system. Being a member of several boards including the South- ern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta, the Association in Defence of the Wrongfully Convicted in Toronto, and the Alliance for Prison Justice in Boston, he had a lot to say about the way the system was ran. He also rallied against the death penalty and Texas governor as Carter put it, George "Death" W Bush for killing so many

SEVEN CLUB SPORTS TRAVEL THE UNITED STATES TO COMPETE IN (ATI AND NAL TOURNAMENTS.

BY O'PONNFII

Imagine driving or flying somewhere completely different to experience the adrenaline rush or competing nationally to represent your college. Where would you have rather gone- Florida, Georgia , or Nevada? For the men's club soccer, baseball, roller hockey, volleyball teams, and the women's club basketball, volleyball, and Softball teams, it didn't matter. Each team radiated strong skills that assured them that they could compete with anyone in the country and gave them the experience of traveling and competing like a varsity level team.

The club soccer team had a successful season, going 6-0 and qualifying for the National Intramural Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA) Open National Championship held in Statesboro, Ga. The Dukes were one of two teams to represent the East Region at the tournament held at Georgia Southern University in November. Sixteen teams from across the United

States participated in the tournament but the Dukes walked away with the national title.

The team's participation was made possible through fundraising and University Recreation matching their efforts for every $500 they raised. Players agreed that it was amazing to go into the tournament as a school with a smaller name and then play and defeat teams that were in a higher bracket such as the University of Virginia (UVA) and Florida State University (FSU). There were four brackets of four teams at the tournament with three qualifying games that determined those who went on to the championship game. In the semi-finals, the men played exception- ally well against UVA and won 4-1. In the finals, they shutout FSU 2-0. An added bonus for winning the tournament was that the whole team received free warm-up outfits and uniforms.

Four players obtained awards for their excellence such as Sean Mannion, who was named MVP of the tournament. Greg Worwick, Cameron Stoddart, and goalie Christian LaFreire were among 1 1 others who made the All-Tournament team. "In the final against FSU, the unity of the team was incredible as the momentum just kept building with each goal and we knew that we were headed towards the number one position," said freshman Chris Hogan.

Playing a sport on roller blades and chasing after a puck was a typical day's work for the roller hockey players who's intense dedication helped them qualify for Nationals. Con- tinuing their tradition as one of the top teams on the East Coast, the team ranked fourth and was still eligible to win. The Collegiate Roller Hockey League National Championships were held in Tampa Bay, Fla. from April 12-17. The beautiful locale allowed the team to reside along the white beaches in the hot sun for five days, taking them away from their usual college routines. Most of the players flew to Tampa but there were a few who drove down caravan style in their own vehicles.

The A and B teams played among 32 other teams from across the nation and placed 1 6th in the tournament. Colorado University, Ohio State, and the University of California were among some or their best competition. "A great accomplishment and highlight of our trip was seeing our goalie, Daniel

The JMU women's club Softball team traveled 2000 miles to Ogden, Utah to play in the Softball Club Nationals tournament hosted by Weber State University. Although the Dukes were the only team in the tournament from the East Coast, it did not stop them from claiming the National Championship.

The tournament opened with a round robin where the Dukes won two of four games beating Idaho State University 4-2 and the University of Southern California (USC) 4-0. Then, the women lost to Air Force and Weber State University.

Club President Jen Mattison said, "Obviously we were disappointed to lose because we knew we could beat both teams but we used the losses to our advantage in order to refocus. We pulled together as a team and concentrated on the positive things that happened in those games in order to focus on the games ahead."

The Dukes bounced back from both losses when senior Andrea Taliaferro pitched a two hit shutout against USC and

the round robin, the Dukes headed

into double elimination bracket play as

the number two seed behind Weber

State University. The Dukes beat Air

Force 2- 1 , Idaho State 9-7 and avenged

their earlier loss to Weber State 2-0. With

the win over the Wildcats, the Dukes

were bound for the championship game

and faced the USC Trojans who had battled back from last

place in the tournament. The Dukes won the game 9-2 behind

the solid pitching of Casey Quinn and an 1 1 hit performance

by the Dukes' offense. "Winning Nationals is a great experience

for our team. It sets the stage for our club next year by proving

we have the talent and initiative to make things happen, win

and compete with just about any team in the nation" said Club

Vice President Casey Quinn.

The club baseball team experienced the true meaning of "sweet revenge" when they returned to the Tarheels Invitational in Chapel Hill, N.C. in April. After getting eliminated in their first game two years earlier in the same tournament, the Dukes surprised everyone, winning their first three games and then the championship game 16-9 against the University of Richmond.

The Dukes opened the tournament against the University of Maryland and won 1 1-1. Then they had to face North Carolina State, the same team who had sent them home defeated two years before. "The NC State game was big for us. We still wanted revenge for slaughtering us the first time we played them," said junior catcher Geoff Dahlem. The Dukes got their revenge beating NC State in a close game 4-1 . Next, they beat the University of North Carolina at Wilmington to send them to the championship game.

The men's club volleyball cook one team of 1 0 members from their A team to Nationals held in Reno, Nev. from April 4-9. The trip turned out to be an expensive endeavor even with their efforts to fundraise. However, a great team effort was made in order to organize the players' trip, proving the strong camarade- rie that existed between the team members. Despite high costs, the players felt it was worth the experience and the chance to visit a different part of the country.

The team played eight matches in three days, winning three and losing five during the tournament to place 45th out ot 60 teams, as they did the previous year in Chicago. Among the players named to the first team All-Conference were middle hitter, sophomore Jimmy Moubarak and defensive specialist, junior Patrick Shugart. The second team All-Conference players were setter, junior Chris Gordon and outside hitter, senior Brent

Roberts, who also started every match at Nationals as the most consistent player.

This experience also allowed the team to meet other volleyball players from all over the country, which added to the enrichment of the trip. One ol the best tournament moments, Cordon recalled, was cheering for the women's team so loud that a girl from another team approached them and asked if they would cheer tor her team while they played. "At this tournament we were able to build a more supportive relationship with the women's club team, which brought the two teams closer," said Gordon.

Men's club volleyball was not the only team to leave an impression on Reno, Nev. The women's team also made a name for themselves at the 16th Annual National Intramural- Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA) Collegiate Volleyball Tournament. The team traveled by plane to compete at the Reno/ Sparks Convention Center from April 4-9 and did extremely well going into the championship. Ranked 24th coming into the competition, the team left ranked 17th out of the 36 teams in the women's division. After first day defeats by the University of Colorado and the University of Kentucky, the team came back to beat Central qualifying to play in a challenge round. Defeats brought low spirits but "no matter how bad things were everyone kept their head in the game and gave it their best and this was admired by a lot of other schools," said junior Karhy Munoz.

Despite not getting into the the championship bracket, the women, ranked fourth in the consolation round, were able

to pull together to beat both East Carolina University, ranked first, and the University ot Maryland, ranked third. This placed the team into the silver bracket where they preceded to defeat Perdue in two games before succumbing in the quarterfinals to UVA in three close matches.

The team was able to have fun on the court, starting their games with personal jokes, smiles, and admirable attitudes. "We brought enthusiasm to the team by cheering for each other when we got 'aces' and the support trom the guy's team was incredible while we were away from home," said sophomore Katie Zibell. One of the best aspects about the championship was the fact that, after being the underdogs their first two years of attendance, they had the chance to prove themselves and earn the recognition they deserved.

The Women's Club Basketball team won the East Coast

Women's Basketball League this past season by defeating the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 79-55, in the championship game ot the league tournament. The tourna- ment was held at the University of Maryland on November 14. The competition hosted the University of Pennsylvania, Loyola College, the University of Maryland, the University of Rich- mond, North Carolina State, and UNC Chapel Hill. "We have accomplished a great deal considering last year was our first year of actually playing games in a competitive league, and now we are one of the best teams in the area and ranked up against UVA, one of the best teams in the league," said sophomore Kim Wittlieb.

The women's team played outstanding throughout the

tournament winning all eight games they played. Key players included senior and top scorer, Laura Flynn, and sophomores Wittlieb, Jess Nadeau, and Susan Korman.

One of the most memorable moments for many of the players included the intensity that filled the tournament when the women came back after being down 19 points in the first halt against UNC to win the tournament. [i FEND

As soon as we set foot on the soil of the Queen's country, we started walking. We walked to parks, castles, pubs, theatres, mansions, museums and galleries. From national landmarks to buried pieces of the Roman wall, our six weeks in London left the 30 students of Summer in London 2000 well-educated, cultured and exhausted.

This particular study abroad program had been termed a "cultural boot camp" by past participants and leader Doug Kehlenbrink. Students who chose this program had to be ready to cram an entire semesters worth of sight-seeing and classes into their short time living in Madison House (dubbed by many as "Mad House") on Gower Street in the heart of London. A short walk from Covent Garden, Picadilly Circus and Regents Park, and a tube ride away from Camden Market and The Globe, Madison House was the perfect location for students determined to see everything the city had to offer.

And we certainly got an eyeful. From modern celebrities like Ralph Fiennes, Andre Aggassi, George Michael and Prince Charles himself, to celebrities

of the past such as William Shakespeare, King Henry VIII, and Princess Diana, the students got their fill of famous faces. With tickets to several plays a week, the ballet, jazz clubs, and tea at the Waldorf, we were given a virtual VIP pass into the true London experience. Unlike a regular school semester, there were also scheduled events on the weekends, such as side trips to Hastings, Cam- bridge University and Stone Henge and an entire weekend in Bath. With only a four-day break in the trip to travel outside of England, students were off to France, Ireland and Scotland to take in more of the European countryside and city-life.

Aside from the classes and scheduled outings, we learned about the nightlife of Leicester Square, the roudy football fans of the local pubs and the American music and dancing of The Sports Cafe. The combined social life and scholastic life of the students combined to make our Summer in London experience unforgettable through cultural experiences and new friendships. T END

It was the best three weeks of my life. Instead of hitting the beach with my friends last summer, I took to the shores of Scotland with some fellow students. Dr. Jack Butt led the incredible voyage to the country of Scotland where we made many small trips and visited lots of castles. The 13 of us traveled all over the beautiful countryside, including trips to St. Andrews, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Fort William.

Our goal with this trip was to immerse ourselves in Scottish culture. In everything we did, we tried to accustom ourselves to Scottish society to better under- stand the people of Scotland and their lifestyles. We were constantly trying to become part of the Scottish society without losing our American identity.

The entire time we felt as if we had no worries. There was a small-town atmosphere wherever we went. I missed that the most, the old-world style or society. We would be walking downtown through a major city, but all around were natural wonders. Beauty was everywhere, and it just seemed to appear out of nowhere.

My absolute favorite parts of the trip were the sights we saw. Dunottar Castle was my favorite place. It was amazing. I stepped off or the bus and was immediately enthralled by the presence of this castle. With the backdrop of the North Sea in the horizon, it sat separated from the rest of the land by a surround- ing chasm.

I'm not one to return to places right away. There are too many other places I'd like to see first. In a few years though, I'd like to go back... definitely. :i : END

Deciding to study abroad in Australia was the best choice I made since deciding to come to JMU. Don't get me wrong, I love JMU. But what can

replace the experiences 1 had Down Under? Of seeing the Queen of England waving to her subjects at the world famous Sydney Opera House, or feeding and burping a joey and a baby wombat? Or running with 30 friends down a giant sand dune into the ocean . . . completely naked? I was able to do these things and so much more, as a result of my time abroad. I have many good memories, as well as pictures, of the variety of places I visited. I was lucky enough to be able to visit several major cities, as well as small country towns and farms. I drove along the Great Ocean Road, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful roads in the world. However, none of these experiences matched the memories I have of the people I met. Without them, the trip would have lost most of its meaning.

I lived in Women's College, an Australian dorm, where I was surrounded by Australians, as well as other girls studying abroad. I was exposed to new traditions, such as our weekly formal dinners where we were required to dress up and wear graduation gowns to dinner followed by a speaker.

I cheered for the Woozers as we competed against the other colleges in everything from crew to debating. Australia does not have a Greek system so colleges incorporate a feeling of brotherhood into their events. I went on a camping trip to the beach with friends I made at college. From them I learned about Australian issues, not the aboriginal dancing I had seen during orientation, but what peers my own age thought about the issue of reconcilliation between the native aborigines and the rest of the population.

What I learned during the time 1 was there can't be found in any book or journal article, but those lessons and relationships will be with me forever. I can't wait to go back! END

I decided to spend the second semester i junior year in Galway, Ireland and would recommend it to anyone. The academic environment of College in Ireland is lax to say the least, leaving students with more than enough time to fully explore Ireland's countryside as well as it's lively pub scene. The customary four-day college school week enabled me to experience all the beauty, history, and of course Guinness, that Ireland had to offer.

I ran out of money long before I ran out of things to do. There were some events that I could have done without, like getting mugged, but I had such a good time that these obstacles did nothing to detract from my experience. Besides, they made for good stories when I got home.

The great thing about studying in Europe was the affordable access you have to the entire region. In addition to my travels in Ireland, I also took advantage of a three-week spring break which allowed me to visit Italy, France, and Spain. All-in- all, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience, and though I love JMU, taking a semester off to study abroad was well worth it. i END

TO THE BIG APPLE

BYMICHAELBUSTARD

"Hi, this is Regis Philbin and welcome to 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire."'

Little did I know that when this message greeted me over the phone I would be appearing on the number one show in America.

After calling the Millionaire hotline and giving some information about myself, I was told I would be given three "fastest finger" questions to put into proper order if I were to advance past the first round. To my disbelief, I got all three questions right, was asked to select a tape date and told a time when, (if I was randomly chosen), I would be called back to participate in the second round. Luckily, I had no classes during the second round callback window so I was free to sit in my room and be nervous.

All of a sudden, the phone rang. Could this be it? I answered it and the woman at the other end asked for me, totally butchering my name. I thought, "Great, some telemarketer tying up the phone lines!" So I told her that Michael Bustard was not around and asked for a message. The woman replied, "Oh, well this is 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire.' Could you see if he is around somewhere?" I told her I'd check and I put the phone down. I could barely breathe, but I picked it up again and told her I just got back.

She informed me that I had been randomly selected and gave me a number to call to compete in the second round. The second round was two days later and if I was one of the top 10 contestants, I would be on the show. After the call, I was pretty excited but I was quick to keep everything in perspective. I wouldn't get down on myself if I didn't get all the answers correct because they would probably be much harder than the first round.

The automated voice said that there would be five questions and the top 10 contestants would be called from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. that night. The first question was fairly simple but I knew that the first was always easy. To my surprise, the other questions weren't that difficult. I had to arrange various world mountain ranges in order starting in England and moving east. As I reached the last question, I figured I had gotten one of the previous four wrong and that the fifth had to be hard. To my happiness, the final question was, "Put these MTV shows in order in which they first aired, starting with the earliest: 'House of Style,' 'Real World,' 'Yo! MTV Raps' and 'Beavis and Butthead."' I am no MTV junkie but it didn't hurt that I was 20 and I grew up in the MTV Generation. As the clock (continued on p. 64)

from the burg

TO tlie blL* ArrLL (continued from p. 62) approached 6:30 p.m., I

figured I had not made the top 10. I was walking out the door when the phone rang. A woman started to tell me that she was from the show and that she had some legal things to read to me. I figured it was standard procedure for all possible contestants. After reading some dull stuff, she said, "Ok, well we'll fly you and a guest here and put you up in a hotel."

I said, "So wait, I am on the show?" She just replied, "Yes, sir." My pulse increased from 75 to about 130, and I really can't remember what else she said. I told her that it would be more convenient to have a car pick me up at my house because I only live rwo-and-a-half-hours from New York City and that I would be taking my mom with me.

As soon as I was off the phone, I called my mom. She knew I had gotten into the second round and when she answered, I just said, "Pack your bags." She was really happy because I had promised her I would take her to New York for Valentine's Day if I made it that far.

That Monday, our driver Julio showed up about 20 minutes late, but the ride couldn't have been smoother. He happened to be the driver for John Carpenter, the first million dollar winner and he assured me that I would do fine on the show the next day.

After he dropped us off, we had some free time in New York so we checked out Central Park and toured the city. Back at the hotel, I had to get my clothes approved (no stripes, no logos, no white shirts). One of the contestants actually had to go buy a new shirt because all three of his were disapproved. We also got $150 for meals and expenses in addition to a "Millionaire" shirt.

The next day, we woke up early to get breakfast. While we were getting ready to leave, I got a phone call from my girlfriend. She had come up to New York with her mom and a friend to see the show. Unfortu- nately, they couldn't sit in the studio and had to sit in an overflow section and watch it on a screen.

We left for the studio and I had no idea what to expect. The other contestants were really friendly and talkative, which helped the day move smoothly. We spent the whole morning being interviewed and asked about our interests so, if we got into the "hot seat," Regis wouldn't blankly stare at us. We also

watched "Millionaire" from other countries in our morning session. To my surprise, the English host kissed one of his contestants when she got a question right. At that point, I started to wonder if I wanted to make it to the hot seat after all.

After lunch, we went into the studio to run through what was likely to happen later that night. We got our chair assignments and I got chair six, right by the entrance where Regis enters. After practicing some "fastest finger" questions I knew I had a realistic chance of getting into the "hot seat" because I answered one in 3.16 seconds.

The hardest thing that day was definitely hoisting myself into the "hot seat." It was way too high for all the contestants and one of the larger guys almost tipped over while trying to literally hop into it.

Dinner was great but very odd in one respect; one of my fellow contestants had been on the show before and he spent all of dinner playing on an imaginary keyboard. My mom and I thought he was crazy, but later when he won $125,000 we realized he had been practicing the combinations of A,B,C and D.

After dinner, it was time for everyone to get "camera ready," or in other words, get miked, made-up and have our hair styled. My makeup job only took a few minutes but my hair was an ordeal. The woman didn't know how to get it to look right so she gave me the brush. Five seconds later, I was set to make my national television debut.

As we met Regis backstage, everyone stood in a line and introduced themselves. When I gave him my name, Regis exclaimed, "Mike Bustard, great to meet you!" He seemed pretty enthusiastic to meet me. Maybe he thought I was an old college buddy.

As we paraded onto stage, I saw my mom in her seat and my girlfriend and her mom in the audience. Apparently the staff got the message that they were my guests and gave them studio seats.

Regis strolled into the studio and messed up right away. Fortunately, the show was taped so he was able to try again. Speaking of mess-ups, he really butchered one contestant's name about four or five times, but the guy was pretty cool about it. I really got the impression that Regis was a down-to-earth guy who was genuinely funny.

As for my performance, it was less than

spectacular. I didn't get any of the "fastest fingers" right. In my own defense, the questions were set up differendy than the way we see the questions at home. I really wasn't nervous at all. I was enjoying the whole thing and hoped that everyone would get some money if they got into the "hot seat." During the show, I was talking to the girl next to me who happened to be about my age and lived in California. It was great to have someone to talk to during off-air time that wasn't taking herself too seriously. Yes, we had a lot of off-air time. In fact, the show took about two- and-a-half hours to tape.

After the last question and post show wrap-up, iwe went into the green room and everyone received "Millionaire" checks signed by Regis himself. I met up with my mom, girlfriend, and her mom and her friend and we went out to dinner. It was nice to just talk about the whole experience and realize how fortunate I was. We left for home the next day and I got back to school that night. There were banners all over my door and hall congratulating me and I stayed up late that night telling everyone about my opportunity and yes, my final answers. THtEND

IN HIS SECOND SEASON as the host of "Millionaire," Regis Philbin continues to be one of the main reasons for the show's popularity. Regis was very down- to-earth, considering his immense popularity. He joked with contestants and, as usual, poked fun at Kathie Lee. He was also the only person on stage with a comfortable chair. Photo courtesy of ABC

BYJ AM ESDAVI D • Cancun provided hot sun and hot times for students looking for a steamy destination for spring break. • Junior Tamara Klein trekked off to a Mexican beach town for many reasons, one of them for the sheer beauty of our southern neighbor. "I had been to Mexico before and I actually think its really pretty," said Klein. • Last minute changes and obstacles did not stop her from reaching the tropical paradise. "When my friends mentioned going to Cancun, I thought that sounded awesome," said Klein. "Then those original friends decided that they didn't have the funds and were going to go to Florida instead. I had already gotten excited about going to Cancun, and so when a different group of friends said they were going, I hopped on with their group at the last minute." • While there, she enjoyed all that Cancun had to offer including snorkeling, going to the beaches, horseback riding, and venturing out at night to the bars and clubs. The Cancun nightlife offered festivities that literally lasted until the break of dawn. "If you drive by bars at like 6:00 a.m. or 7:00 a.m., you can still see drunk people grinding," said Klein. "By that time, its light outside so it's pretty nuts." • Klein enjoyed the variety of activities available to her in the tropical locale. "Cancun has many different kinds of bars from sports bars to nightclubs, I definitely went to all of them and they all [rocked]." «The bar scene provided an opportunity to rate the men of spring break. "For the most part, the men I met were all

pretty nice," said Klein who also observed how some guys tried to take advantage of certain situations. "Some guys I saw were pretty sketchy. Those ones gravitated toward naive college students. Guys are pretty much the same all over, but in Cancun, its a different world. Everyone is totally laid back and out to have a great time." • When you mix alcohol, college students and raging hormones, you can expect some pretty rowdy times. "I saw all kinds of stuff. I can't even count how many penises or breasts I saw," she said. "They have wet T- shirt contests which always end up being 'no T-shirt contests.' I saw a sex position contest, which was supposed to be a clothed one, but in order to win any of the contests one had to get naked. Everyone was chanting skin to win.' At some places the bartenders have tip jars that say 'Tits or Tips.' So, nudity is definitely encouraged. In Cancun, people like to take off their clothes." »The "clothing optional" mentality of spring break wasn't necessary to have fun though. "It's definitely a good time, and you definitely do not have to get naked in order to have a fabulous time." • By sharing her Cancun experience, Klein broke a cardinal rule of her spring break destination. "In Cancun they have this little expression, 'What happens in Cancun, stays in Cancun,'" said Klein. "Everybody knows that little motto and uses it frequently." theend

BYAIMEECOSTELLO • Every college student should get the chance to experience spring break because it's definitely everything it's cracked up to be. MTV's Spring Break was much more exciting to experience in person. With this in mind, 17 friends ventured to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville during March for some fun in the sun and crazy nightlife experiences. «We landed in Key West, Fla. the Sunday of spring break, hailed a few taxis to our hotel and immediately rented mopeds for the week despite the salesman's warning that one of every three people who rent one die using it. In the tradition of spring break, we threw caution to the wind and took the risk. • Our days were spent lying on the beach and visiting famous Key West attractions like Ernest Hemmingway's home, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and Ripley's Believe it or Not. • We spent our nights hitting the very popular Duvall Street and local bars such as Rumrunners, Rick's, Fat Tuesday and Sloppy Joe's. We entertained ourselves with dancing, drinking and entering some of the infamous spring break contests. Three friends, who will remain anonymous, entered a wet T-shirt contest one night but removed themselves from the contest when it became a wet, naked contest. Three odier friends entered a beer chug contest at Rumrunners the first night out. Seniors Ryan

Ferguson, Mike Dealy and Murray Douglas won that night and continued to win the contest for six nights straight becoming the beer chug champions and breaking a Rumrunners record. • The highlight of our trip was the "booze cruise" that included a beautiful sunset, snorkeling and all-you-can-drink beer. The cruise started at 4:30 p.m. and sailed out to the world's third largest reef. Since we weren't allowed to drink until we finished snorkeling, we brought our towels out to sunbathe on the ride to the reef. We found out very quickly, however, that on a catamaran, there isn't a dry spot on the boat and were drenched after only two minutes into the ride. Once we reached the reef, those of us that weren't seasick put on our snorkel gear and jumped into the crystal clear blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. After snorkeling, we got back on the boat and started drinking while enjoying the sunset. Just imagine trying to drink and stand on a catamaran while moving through choppy waters. It wasn't the easiest thing to do but definitely the funniest. • Despite a minor moped accident, staying in a hotel that was under constmction and one or two nights of too many margaritas, we all had a good time and managed to come away without too many embarrassing or regrettable stories. THEEND

BYJANEBILLS • Instead of heading south for spring sreak, the Overtones decided to venture north to share heir music with some a cappella groups at other schools. They ttaveled to Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vlassachusetts and New York on a week-long tour. The group sang with a mix of high school and ollegiate a cappella groups in a variety of settings, ncluding a pub in Harvard Square and a breakfast cafe n Providence. • As well as entertaining others, the Jvertones took the time to entertain themselves by ittending a Celtics game, touring Harvard and the urrounding shops, shopping at the Providence Mall, ating at Quincy Market in Boston, and staying up way oo late at hotels and schools they visited. "Even though ve spent spring break in cold weather, my heart was varmed because I was singing with my best friends,"

said senior Jeff Vanags. • Several members of the Overtones from the northeast also had the opportunity to sing for their parents during the spring break tour. "My parents loved hearing us since they could never get down to school for a concert," said sophomore Erin Chicosky from Long Island, N.Y. • Traveling in a large, cramped van, the Overtones had plenty of time to bond. With their trusty mascot Bart Simpson on the dashboard, they drove over 1 ,000 miles during the course of their tour. "Because we were forced to spend many hours in the car together, we really got to know some of the newer members better and we became closer as a group," said senior Jane Bills. All members agreed that "Sing Break 2000" was not only a great musical experience, but also an amazing week of friendship and fun. THEEND

BYSTEPHENLONG • It started with a turn of the key. We all survived the last anxious hours of class and hit the road for Spring Break. Wild hooting ensued, and four residents of 339 West Bruce St. set off on a non-stop, 14-hour trek. Our destination: New Orleans, to experience the most notorious part)' of the year, Mardi Gras. Anticipating crazy exhibitionist acts, bead throwing, and all-out drinking, we roared south on 1-81. By the time we reached Alabama, delirium had set in for most of us. Long hours in the car on top of minimal sleep during midterms were looking to break us. • We pulled into a 24-hour Waffle King to eat with some locals and rest the car. We were halfway to New Orleans, but first carmate Shawn Cunningham pointed out we needed to make a slight detour to Kentwood, La. Being so close to Louisiana we had to check out the hometown of superstar Britney Spears. You would have never known it walking through the dilapidated small town, except for a banner hanging outside the neighborhood furniture store. • Coming up on New Orleans, we hit the trickiest part of our journey. We had no place to stay! Navigating though the after- noon traffic, we parked between Tulane University and Audubon Park and lived out of my car for three days. Parking was free (unlike some places). The university was on holiday for the week, but the buildings were open. Investigating them, we found a

nice bathroom to wash up in. In our three days there,

we loved the Stanley Thomas Science Hall. • After

washing up and some drinks at The Boot, we hit the

parades. Beads equated to gold in this city and we were

going to claim our stake. Our first night in

the Big Easy was great with one exception.

Cyprian Mendelius, one of our carmates,

never came home. The next morning we

discovered he had been arrested and was

missing teeth. Needless to say, it put a

damper on the trip when we had to leave

Cyprian at the airport. Although his trip

was violently cut short, he got the pleasure

of meeting Raekwon of the Wu-Tang

Clan at an Atlanta airport. • New

Orleans was in fact the Big Easy on many

levels, as my other carmate Thomas

Steinfeldt would agree, after being hit on

repeatedly by another male party-goer.

Over the next two days we saw many

unique sights and accumulated a bounty

of beads. We met many interesting

people, and even ran into some JMU

friends, including club soccer phenom John

Sentz and the infamous Steve Glass. Overall,

it was a memorable experience and it was

nice to know that there were fellow Dukes

along the way. THEEND

BYBROOKECASHMAN • Every student who has been lucky enough to go abroad for a semester knows that culture shock is at its worst not when you arrive in your host country, but when you return. In one quick plane ride, trips to the theater and opera become PowerPoint lectures, wine and cheese tasting and fresh pasta become D-hall, and London, Paris, Florence and Seville become, well . . . Harrisonburg. I don't mean to suggest that the good of burg doesn't have some great cultural and social resources, but it is a little anti-climatic after living for three months in one of Europe's most beautiful and invigorating cities. • For this student, the solution to the post-abroad blues was simple: forgo the beer-

sloshed beaches of Cancun and Jamaica and spend my spring break soaking-up sun in France. I spent 10 days in Paris visiting all of my favorite people and places from my semester there and even hitting some new ones I hadn't seen before, like the Arab Cultural Center, the Centre George Pompidou for modern an and the city's fvlillennium decorations. I got to spend time with my old host family, some of the JMU French faculty, and even share stories with the group of students abroad diat semester. • When I got back, I was a little jealous of all my bronzed friends, but the city, the memories, and, of course, the wine were worth every second and every cent of the trip. Perhaps the best part of my return trip was

BYJENNIFERHAWKINS • While others were relaxing over Spring Break, 10 students with the Baptist Student Union spent their week on a mission trip sharing their faith while repairing apartments for low-income people in Smyrna, Tenn. at the Wherry Housing Cooperative. "We were there to help make living better for someone while being living models of Jesus Christ," said freshman Allison Johnson. • The co-op was a neighborhood of old apartments that were used by the army as family housing for soldiers in the 1940s. Wherry Housing Cooperative made an effort to restore the run-down buildings to a more liveable condition. "When we first arrived at the place, we entered a room with basically 1 5 bunk beds and very thin mattresses on them," said freshman Ashleigh Adams. "I thought, 'I'm not going to get any good sleep this whole week' and that it would not be a relaxing week. However, after one night I realized how grateful I should be just to have a roof over my head and a pillow to rest on." • The mission team knocked out walls, painted, primed walls, scraped paint, spackled, dug up a sewer line and played with children in the community. The team worked with two other BSU groups as well as people from the community. "At first it was awkward learning to incorporate our group with the other groups but when it came time for the other two groups to

leave and head home, it was hard to say goodbye to the newly developed friendships," said junior Kim Payne. • The team also got to know members of the commu- nity by working side-by-side with them and also through personal testimonies. "We go to hear the stories of the people we were helping out," said freshman Melissa Payne. "They were so thankful for us and they got teary-eyed every time they shared. It made me think about what I do have and to stop complain- ing about what I don't have. Their stories touched my heart." • Although physical labor was a major part of the trip, the group found time to have fun as well. "I enjoyed getting to know the people that I didn't know too well before," said senior Wendy James. "We did this by playing football, working, having devotions, going to The Wild Horse Saloon and dancing, waking up together and getting ready together." • Through the mission trip, the students found that when you give your time and service to others, often you get more out of the experience than you ever imagined. "Primarily the trip was to renovate housing, but we came back with so much more," said sophomore Deonna Comer. "We saw God in so many ways through that community. We developed awesome friendships and learned our way around Nashville and Kentucky." THEEND

BYLORIBIANCHET • My mind was set in early

November - 1 knew I wanted to go on an Alternative Spring Break, I just wasn't sure which one. I had heard so many amazing stories that it was an opportunity I felt I could not pass up. I finally chose to participate in the trip coordinated by Catholic Campus Ministry because the integration of faith was a priority. CCM coordinated five ASB trips last March to Beverly, Ky.; Albany, N.Y.; Baltimore, Md.; and Philadelphia, Pa., and Oaxoca, Mexico. Each trip had a little something different to offer and I chose to take advantage of the Albany trip where I could spend my day in both a daycare and a shelter. • There were 1 1 people on my trip including the two leaders, senior Mike Rodihan and junior Matt Stephan. The journey to Albany began on Sunday, March 5, as we packed up the rental van for our nine-hour trip north. When we arrived, we were given a driving tour that passed the places where we would be volunteering. We were asked to pick a place for the morning and a different one for our evenings so I chose Masterson Child Development Center and Arbor House. • While at Masterson, I teamed with

sophomore Justinne Lake to assist a kindergarten class. We colored, learned to read new words, took walks to the park, played soccer, and helped with arts and crafts projects. Masterson certainly was an eye- opening experience, with glimpses of neglect evident in the children. I wondered what kind of family life they went back to. It was heartbreaking to walk through the city streets and see the environment these kids were raised in. Yet, the children were so amazing. They were so inviting and trusting. • In the afternoons, we would meet up and discuss our morning or just take a nap. After a quick break back at the dorm (a local college let us stay in their spare rooms) we headed out for the late afternoon activity. I volunteered at Arbor House, a home for runaway teenage girls. I worried about how junior Kim Pope, freshman Wendy Wheeler and I would be received as we walked into their lives. I was pleasantly surprised when the girls were very welcoming. They were not ashamed of where they lived, but rather proud for having been given a chance at a safer life. Arbor House allowed the girls to stay for one year which is longer than most shelters. At the year's end, they were set up with an apartment and minimal supervision. Living in a community atmosphere, it was evident that people really cared about the girls. • Each night we met for an evening prayer/reflection. This was an excellent way to wind down, share insights and emotions, and reflect on our new experiences. Overall, for each one of us, the trip was incredibly humbling. It's one thing to know how lucky you are, and it's another to be exposed to the difference. I left Albany with a sense of rejuvenation, anxious to spread my love for service to the Harrisonburg community. Seven months into the following school year, I look forward to Spring Break 2001. theend

BYREBECCAHEITFIELD • After participating in Alternative Spring Break trips in 1998 and 1999, I felt that I was finally ready to lead my own trip in 2000. Along with my co-leader Ben Shindler, I spent two hours each week during the Fall and Spring semesters at a training session sponsored through Community Service Learning (CSL) where we learned every aspect or group leadership. Our 1 5 member crew traveled to Jacksonville, Fla. to work with two very diverse programs. We spent the first two days cleaning at St. Johns Horizon House, a resident home for people with AIDS. Our last three days were spent working on two different houses with Habitat for Humanity. • Why did I go on these trips? Simple - it's addictive. For me, there is nothing better than the feeling of really making a difference in a person's life. Most of the time it's not a difference that you can see right away, but rather one that you know will grow and develop. And most of the time, I get more out of it than I could ever imagine giving back. THEEND

BYTAUACASSIS • Six students and a faculty advisor decided to do something that they had never done before for their spring break. Instead of spending their time on sandy beaches or the streets of Mardi Gras, the group ventured to a small town in Florida called Madison to help a very generous man. • The Johnson-Brinson Project Inc., founded and run by David Dukes right out of his own living room, dining room, and kitchen, was a non-profit, tax-exempt organization created to give back to his community. Dukes sponsored tutorial programs and study halls, youth support groups, conflict resolution, behavior management classes, discipline and self-control workshops, as well as educational, cultural and recreational field trips. He not only worked with the children in the neighborhood but also with family units and the community to maximize the potential of each and every child he worked with. • Every after-

noon at 3:00 p.m. when the children got out of school, we were at Mr. Dukes' house working with the children. We spent six days at the project tutoring, playing, and mentoring to mosdy middle school- aged kids and assisting Mr. Dukes in anyway we could. One morning we went into the community to clean an empty parking lot that had developed into a dumping ground for citizens' trash. Another morning, we went to a residen- tial youth detention center and spoke with children while we ate lunch with them. • JMU students have been going to Madison for the last few years and all the children love to see us. Seeing the smiles on their faces was so rewarding and it was what got us up every morning on our spring break ready to give to others, rather than laying on a beach an hour or two away getting a tan.

August 25, 2000: A Day the Community Will Not Soon Forget

BYKELLYCLINGEMPEEL

On the night of August 25. what started out as an annual block patty in the Forest Hills complex turned into a night that the university and Harrisonburg communities would not soon forget.

After receiving several noise complaints from neighbors and attempting to quiet down the street, Harrisonburg police donned full riot gear and bullhorns as they confronted the masses of roughly 2,500 students gathered in Forest Hills. Parrygoers were warned to leave the area as police attempted to control the crowd with tear gas and pepper spray. Senior Coleen Santa Ana remembered, "I just went there to hang out, and pretty soon fights were breaking out everywhere. Before I knew it, I was running through pepper spray and barricades just to get out of the chaos. I ended up coughing and wheezing by the time I made it through."

Although most block party attendants heeded the warnings, approximately 700 remained and the incident turned violent as rocks and bottles were thrown at police, injuring one officer. When the confrontation finally ended, 12 arrests had been made, most involving alcohol charges, and the university had become nationally known for the "riot," appearing in many local papers, the Washington Post, and on CNN. Reports varied in their descriptions from a full-scale riot to a protest against police.

The incident immediately captured the attention of President Linwood Rose, the Community Coalition on Alcohol Abuse, the Student Government Associa- tion, as well as students and Harrisonburg residents. Rose focused mainly on the role that alcohol abuse had played during the altercation (continued on p. 74)

(continued from p. 73) and took the recommendations or the coalition very seriously. He also expressed deep regret to the members of the Harrisonburg community regarding the episode. In a statement, Rose assured that he and the Coalition would "address the code of conduct for students, both those living on campus and off campus."

The Coalition was formed to promote responsible drinking, prevent substance abuse and make recommendations on related issues. It met early during the year to discuss the riot and suggested "immediate, short term and long term considerations to promote greater understanding and communication on the part of students, the administration and area police."

While the Coalition and President Rose concen- trated on alcohol abuse and rowdy students as the underlying causes, Mark Sullivan, president of the SGA, brought the students' viewpoint to light during meetings. "It's important to acknowledge that while some students were to blame, many others had their civil liberties violated and as we move further from the event, it seems easier to forget that," he said. Working feverishly to obtain firsthand accounts of the events, Sullivan met with the Community Coalition, local police, SGA, and students in an effort to keep lines of communication open instead of letting the issue die down without resolution. "While healing is necessary, the only way to do that is to acknowledge that problems existed on both sides. It's a bigger issue than how its been painted which is that drunk students were out of control. There's definitely more at stake," Sullivan said.

Students who were present that Friday night felt that the responsibility of the event should not have been placed entirely on the students. Many stated that the block party was under control until police arrived; the sight of gas masks and bullhorns caused the crowd to become confused by police demands and feel

threatened. Of the 700 partygoers who remained at the scene, most said that warnings from the bullhorns were hard to understand. Yet witnesses still blamed excessive force of officers for the escalation of violence.

Senior Marie Holland watched the scene unfold in front of her residence in Forest Hills. "All of a sudden, we saw the police. I asked if I could go home and they yelled at me. We snuck around the back of the houses and stood on our porch," she said. "When they [the police] saw us there, they told us that if we didn't get off the porch they were going to arrest us. We had to hose my friend oft because she had been pepper- sprayed. My other friend was crying and called her parents because she had had a gun pointed at her."

The Student Government Association offered surveys to give students the opportunity to describe their accounts of the event. As always, the SGA committed itself to addressing student concerns. Some students felt that the matter had already been addressed to the fullest extent. Several weeks after the incident, students began to show general apathy towards the aftermath and simply wanted the matter to be put to rest. However, conscious effort to heal rifts between police and students were expected to continue into the future.

Although many fingers were pointed following the Forest Hills incident, blame could not be attributed to one party alone. Admittedly, students and local law enforcement were both at fault and many factors were involved. The incident raised many questions about the safety and health of the community, and the problem of alcohol abuse was pushed to the forefront of many minds. Yet instead of placing blame, efforts to reconcile the university with the Harrisonburg community and the police were likely to be the area of most concern in the aftermath of the now historical riot/block party.

Familiar sights and sounds may have graced the campus as the new school year rolled around, but some tastes changed. In July, after putting management of dining services up for bidding, the university signed a contract with Aramark Dining Services. Submitting a higher bid in their contract proposal, Aramark won the dining service contract over Sodexho Marriott, the university's former provider. The new contract gave Aramark dominion over the various campus dining services for a period often years.

What this meant for students was that although many of their favorite establishments and their respective food specialties remained unchanged, some items as well as eateries disappeared. Several dining facilities were replaced by more popular corporate restaurants. Names like Blimpie, Sbarro, and Krispy Kreme slowly filtered into the student vernacular as surely as Chick- Fil-A did the previous year. For some students, this was a welcome change. However, many students expressed dismay with losing some of the restaurants they came to love.

Perhaps the most striking news was the proposed takeover of PC Dukes by none other than Burger King. To some, it was hard to imagine JMU without PC Dukes. Senior Steve Long, like many students, considered it a basic element of the campus environ- ment. "I hate to see the university sell off another part of the campus to outside corporations," he said. "I feel Dukes is unique to the school."

Virtually every dining facility on campus had gone through changes of some sort. D-Hall lost its enamored wok, but added three Pan Geos stations that were cook-to-order cuisine stations with global flair. Mediterranean, European, and Asian food specialties were cooked right before the students while they waited. Senior Cammie Ward (continued on p. 79)

(continued from p. 77) had mixed feelings about the changes made to D-Hall. "I'm disappointed that there are no more handmade salads," said Ward. "The new pasta section, though, is awesome."

Most students hadn't noticed too many changes in food offerings. Ward noted that the pizza on campus had gotten better. Junior Liz Gavin described better sauces at the Festival and D-Hall. "It's not that big a difference," she said.

Market One underwent a complete facelift, with Tortilla Fresca and Sbarro replacing Casa Ortega and Stone Willy's, respectively. Krispy Kreme also moved into the food court. Gavin was one of many disappointed about the changes to Market One. "It was my favorite place," she said. "Now it's smaller and has less variety. I don't like the new appearance." Gavin's overall feeling was that things were fine before. "I don't understand the changes. There was nothing wrong before. Why couldn't they leave it like it was?"

Freshman Jean Bryan had never tasted any campus food before she enrolled, even though she visited the campus many times in the past to see her sister. "It's all right," said Bryan. "I like Door 4 very much and eat at Dukes a lot." When told of the proposed changes, Bryan had a very distinct opinion. "I'm very much against Burger King. You can't get any variety there."

The Festival welcomed Cranberry Farms and Bene Pizzaria to replace Rocktown Farms and Stone Willy's. Java City, a new coffee bar, was added downstairs. A deli and smoothie bar were proposed to supplement the new convenience store downstairs.

There was a possibility of Blimpie subs taking the place of Door 4. This proposition upset many students who had grown to love the familiar sandwich shop, despite the fact that meal punches could not be used there. Gavin was one of the many sad to see it go. "I can't believe they're changing to Blimpies," added Gavin. "That was one of my favorites. I'm really upset."

UREC received Freshens, a smoothie bar, in place of the vending room. Bryan, who was also a Dukette, thought this was a good idea. "It sounds good after a workout," said Bryan. "It stops you from going home and eating a lot."

A different perspective came from senior Paul Hajdasz, a former D-Hall employee and current Chick- Fil-A employee. From a staff point-ot-view, Aramark received a decent report. "The service here is quite good," said Hajdasz. "We were trained well and they treat us with a lot of respect." Hajdaszs few disappoint- ments came from changes in "little things" such as the food shipments coming straight to D-Hall rather than to the warehouse, leaving students to unload trucks and stock the kitchens. He also didn't like the possibility of student wages going down.

With the introduction of national corporate chains into dining services, many students wondered how the atmosphere would be affected. Different students had varying opinions but most agreed that as long as it was done in moderation, bringing national franchises to the university was okay. "It can be a positive aspect for JMU, bringing more money into the school," added Ward. "As long as meal plans still exist, it shouldn't be a problem."

Bryan agreed. "As long as punches are there, it will be fine." She felt strongly about moderation. "Making the entire campus corporate would be bad though. A few restaurants should be okay."

However, Hajdasz was delighted. "I'm excited about name brands. It will make the campus dining services more mainstream." Gavin had "mixed feelings" about the corporations. "Although the food is good, it's disturbing that they're moving into the community."

With the campus growing larger each year to accommodate more students and more buildings, there was a need for dining services to keep up with all the changes. By adding more variety and providing familiarity with national chains, Aramark continued to try to satisfy the tastes of the community. THEEND

O OO

Being part of a team came with an incredible amount of responsibility and dedication, especially in a collegiate sport. Most students aren't aware what it was like to be part of a college athletic team, and for those people who did, they knew it was more than just a hobby - it was their life.

Collegiate sports took the meaning of "team" to a new level, a level that most did not get to experience. Being part of such a group meant dedicating your life to your teammates and the sport. Athletes were engulfed in practice and games. Fall sports, such as soccer, had to be at school in mid-August to practice and get in shape. During the season, the team members had to balance school, practice, and missing classes for away games.

Junior captain of the women's soccer team, Jamie Miller commented, "1 do not like to miss class for long trips because you get so behind in work. Some teachers are understanding, and some are not so it's hard to be in the middle of it." Away trips took a lot out of the team, but became a great bonding experience. Some went on overnight trips and discovered that it brought them closer. The women's head soccer coach, Dave Lombardo tried to schedule a long weekend away early in the season to accelerate the (continued on p. 82)

(continued from p. 80) team bonding. Another aspect of away games was trying to focus. Playing on the home field was helpful because there were usually a good amount of fans cheering for the home team. At an away game, the fans were almost distracting. "Some fans can be really annoying at away fields, but when you beat their team they usually quiet down," said Miller.

A collegiate athlete's college experience was different from the experiences of most students on campus because they were not only students, but pan of a tradition that represented the pride of the university. Each player carried with them a sense of honor and loyalty. Days and nights were sacrificed to their sport and athletes gave up freedoms such as weekend events, social activities, and what most students know as "free time." "No matter where we are, we're always a team and so we always have to act and behave with that mentality. It never really leaves you," said sophomore Casey Papa.

The following was merely a glimpse of what a majority of university students didn't see. While the rest of the school studied and filled their free time, athletes were away defending the honor and pride that students carried daily.

9:00-9:30 The team met in front of Godwin Hall. The assistant coach brought the team a breakfast of bagels, cream cheese, fruit and snacks. The girls stood around eating and talking, waiting for everyone to arrive. Coach Dave Lombardo talked with the women, the bus driver, and his assistant coaches. The team didn't seem nervous, as they prepared for the tough day ahead. When everyone was accounted for, they loaded up their bags and food and boarded the bus.

9:37 The bus departed. The assistant coach passed around a sheet that listed other soccer games and the results. Some of the coaches looked at a press book tor American University (AU) soccer. Most of the women talked to each other, took a nap or watched

1 1:45 The bus arrived at AU, took them back to the athletic field, and dropped them off The women quickly unloaded and headed to the locker room for a quick change, as they were running a little behind schedule.

12: 13 The team emerged from the locker room. Some members were taped by the trainer, while the rest went to the field to put their cleats on and stretch.

12:25 The coach gathered the team on the field for a strategy talk, pointing out the strong players for AU and what to watch for. This was the Dukes' first conference game of the season and they wanted a win. AU had just come off a 1-0 loss to conference opponent Virginia Commonwealth University in overtime. After the coach's talk, the team returned to the field to warm-up. With five minutes until game time, Lombardo sent the team around the field for sprints.

1 :00 The starters lined up at midfield. The announcer read the list of starting team members, where they were from, and their positions. Immediately following the National Anthem, Lombardo gathered the team one last time, telling them to play tough and have fun. In the team huddle, they started their cheer, "It's time to get loud, it's time to represent, JMU, what time is it?"

1 :07 JMU kicked off. Less than four minutes into the game, there was a shot made on JMU goalie Suzanne Wilson but she made the easy save. The game was intense and rough from the start with lots of pushing and pressure on the JMU goal. Scoring started in the 18th minute with AU's Sarah Rosen getting a loose ball in front of the net and putting one in from six yards out. That put AU up 1-0 until 10 minutes later when JMU freshman Christy Metzker answered with a left- footed shot past the AU goalkeeper. Going into half time, the score was tied at one.

(continued from p. 83) 1:58 Half time started with a water break and meeting with the coaches. As the team waited for the coach talk, they conversed amongst themselves. Teammates discussed what they saw, what needed to be improved, and made comments and suggestions to others. There was an outpour of support as they congratulated each other on what had gone well. When the coaches came over, they gave Lombardo their full attention. He asked for some team feedback on problems they were having. When he talked about how AU capitalized on bad passing, he emphasized the need for more team effort. Likewise, the assistant coaches commented on what they saw and offered their advice for improvement. Coach Lombardo encouraged the girls to forget the first half and concentrate, instead, on a better second half. "The first half is over, and there is nothing we can do about it," he said.

2:13 The second half started off almost identical to the first. American scored four minutes into the half with a goal from Katie Moore. The Dukes answered 1 0 minutes later with a goal from junior Katie McNamera off an assist from Metzker. The Dukes took over the

game from there, starting with sophomore Kelly Wildeman scoring the first of three goals seven minutes after McNamera's tying goal. Wildeman's goal came off a pass from freshman Bryant Karpinski and Wildeman headed it in past AU's goalkeeper. Within the next 1 1 minutes, Wildeman scored two more times. That put the game away and the Dukes left with a 5-2 win over American University.

3:05 The teams lined up to shake hands, then the Dukes stretched and cooled down. Coach Lombardo gathered the team for a post-game talk, complimenting the women on their ability to pull it together in the second half and refusing to lose. He also emphasized the fact that even though the day was a win, they needed to work on psychologically taking down a team earlier in the game.

The women hung out on the field afterwards. Since American was relatively close, many of them had friends and family attending the game and knew people that played for American. Looking at the crowd, it was evident that the Dukes had strong support throughout the entire game. Parents came to every game they could, some driving as far as Pennsylvania. Fan and family dedication helped the girls while they were on the road. Often times the Dukes' fans equaled those in the stands on the opposing team. Lombardo commented, "When you are tired in the last half, it makes a difference in a critical moment if you have somebody cheering for you."

After showers, the girls got on the bus and headed home. On the way, they stopped for dinner at Ciro's Pizza place, a popular choice from past games. The girls enjoyed relaxing after their performance with a satisfying meal. Senior, Captain Beth Burgess said, "It's really hard to go into somebody else's house and come away with a win, but the bus trip home is much more fun when we do." During the bus trip home, the girls relaxed while watching Big Daddy. The bus arrived back at Godwin Hall around 7:30, and the girls went their separate ways, off to enjoy the rest of their night, and the following day. THE END

After closing its doors for a year to undergo renovations, Ashby Hall reopened in the fall to house the Madison International Program. Equipped with new heating and cooling systems, carpets, plumbing, and a remodeled kitchen, Ashby became one of the nicest dorms on the Quad. The real beauty of Ashby, however, did not lie in the renovated rooms and living areas, but rather with the students living between its walls. The Madison International Program culti- vated a living community comprised of both international and American students that promoted heightened cultural understanding and harmony.

Christina Sanchez, hall director of Ashby Hall and assistant director for International Programs, said the original concept of having an international hall began about three years ago with Maggie Burkhart Evans of the Office of Residence Life. The renovations in Ashby Hall gave the International Program a perfect housing opportunity. "When Ashby went offline, ORL had planned to reopen it as themed housing anyway, for example an honors dorm or an internadonal dorm. Soon after that it was decided that it would go to the international students." Having a dorm on campus specifically tailored to international students helped bolster the international community as well as ease mixing with the general student body.

Before Ashby reopened, most first-year interna- tional students were interspersed within the other dorms on campus while a small number ot freshmen lived off campus under special circumstances. "Typically after the first year, the majority of international students move off campus for the convenience," said Sanchez.

Residence halls did not stay open during extended breaks in years past, which at times presented difficulties for international students who were far from home. In these situations, students usually looked to alternative housing. Students and citizens of Harrisonburg such as members of the Rotary Club and Friendship Families offered to help by driving international students to and from airports and by taking them into their homes for the holidays.

One of the many conveniences of Ashby Hall was that it stayed open during all breaks so that students could stay with fellow hallmates. Sanchez hoped that a higher percentage would try to stay on campus because of Ashby after their freshman year.

The 68 residents of Ashby Hall began their experience with "Transition America," the international student orientation program from August 21-23. Besides learning about various school policies and activities and touring the campus, the students had picnics and trips

to various ethnic restaurants and local attractions.

In addition to the privileges of living at Ashby came the responsibility of joining one of the hall's four committees. Each student had to participate in at least one of the committees that included Program- ming, Communications, International Cuisine, and Recruitment/ Retention. "These committees bring out initiative, involvement, and investment in the community," said Sanchez. "The students participate actively and learn from each other. It's not just residents participating in dialectic learning from the staff. Everyone learns from each other here."

Students also had the opportunity to work on special projects outside of the committees in coordina- tion with Sanchez. One major project was the vision of sophomore Isiah Smith to open a chapter of the Model U.N. "I wanted to start Model UN. and I figured this was a great place to start," said Smith.

Each committee met weekly with a specific, significant function, headed by a Resident Advisor in the building. International Cuisine coordinated the catering of different programs and hosted dinners. Recruitment/Retention handled efforts to foster community and build good morale within Ashby. By working to make sure that current residents returned and new students applied, this committee kept Ashby Hall going. Senior Sharon Jun, head of Recruitment/ Retention, could be found at any point of the day working with residents or showing students around the building, providing information about the international program. She spoke of the dynamic between the international and the American students, expressing enthusiasm for its efforts.

The Programming Committee coordinated different activities and programs within the residence hall and outside of it. The committee worked with the community within the building and invited others in. Programs included cultural awareness events such as movie/discussion nights, trips to Montpelier and other historic sites, and physical activities like hiking, skiing, and beach trips. International Week, a series of events around campus that raised cultural awareness and pride while recognizing the interna- tional students, was one. of the main events the committee headed.

Resident Advisor sophomore Ashley Lanteigne was in charge of the Communications Committee that ran the Ashby Hall web page and published a monthly newsletter. "They're so much fun. Everyone asks so many questions, everyone's so excited," she said of her committee meetings.

(continued from p. 94) and truly felt connected by a common thread. "They get so excited to meet everyone," said Lanteigne. "They're always doing things with their hall, always going to class together and going out to movies and to dinner together."

To become a part of the Ashby experience, hopefuls had to submit an application. Both international and American students applied for the program. Residents were selected for what they could contribute and by their desire to learn in the unique community. Lanteigne found out about the opportunity while looking into being a Resident Advisor. "I came across this and thought it would be cool. I was an exchange student buddy in high school. I liked the idea of branching out with people different from myself," she said.

Looking at the different residents of Ashby Hall, it was easy to see that they had at least one thing in common: happiness. Everyone knew each other and got along very well. Freshman Mehr-Un-Nisa Akbar, an accounting major from Pakistan, commented on the community. "I love it here. People are so nice, and everyone gets along. It's a totally different atmosphere. I feel really privileged to be here."

Living among students in a similar situation provided a certain level of security for residents from abroad. Freshman Jose Acuna, a hospitality and tourism management major from Venezuela, expressed his content with the program. "It's more comfortable being surrounded by international students," observed Acuna. "We have more in common; there's stronger

support because we are in the same situation."

Sophomore Juan Kuilan, who found out about the Madison International Program through Club Latino, felt the multicultural hall was very positive. "It's a good environment for freshmen," said Kuilan. "Everyone here seems more mature."

For some, not even extensive international experience could have prepared them for the incredible power of Madison International. Claudia Sanchez, a freshman from Colombia, spent the last 1 1 years of her life in Israel, Germany, and Italy. After going to an international high school in Israel, she picked the Madison International Program over many other programs offered by different schools. "This was the best school," said Sanchez. She was very impressed by what she experienced. "This is amazing. This is such a completely different culture that I didn't expect. People are so different. There are so many sub-cultures here. It's very diverse."

Learning truly took on a global perspective at Ashby Hall as students representing countries from Greece to South Korea, Jamaica to Uzbekistan, and Puerto Rico to Australia came together to share their experiences. With the momentous success of Ashby Hall, the Madison International Program would continue to expand in years to come. Christina Sanchez was very pleased with the progress of Ashby and hoped it would carry on in the future. "The students have taken initiative to do things together," said Sanchez. "There is a general sense of pride. It's the biggest impact I've felt on campus." THEEND

Cell phones have existed for years, but their presence on campus was greatly felt as more students used them

to keep in contact with family and friends.

BYMANDIECOSTLEY

CFW Intelos, a national cellular provider, in the year 2000 alone had 54,300 digital PCS subscribers. With only 19,100 subscribers in 1999, the escalation was partly due to college student's fascination with the new technology. "Personal technology has permeated the campus. Students, faculty and staff seem to all carry various pagers, cell phones and personal electronic organizers. All of these tools make communication and life a bit easier, and all or us more accessible" stated President Linwood Rose summing up the cell phone mania that took campus by storm.

Can you recall going to class and hearing someone's cell phone ring? Or maybe on your way to D-Hall you saw people glued to their phones and unaware of everything around them. To a large percentage of the student population, cell phones were a way of life. Some bought them to take advantage of the free long-distance calling. When compared to the eight cents per minute JMU Telecom charged, cell phones seemed like the best option.

As a safety measure, concerned parents insisted that students carry them in their car in case of an emergency. Junior Katie Trentone decided to purchase her cell phone because she was making long-distance

car trips. "I had starting seeing a guy up in New Jersey and was making several road trips up there. I thought it was a good idea to have a phone with me in case something happened to my car or me."

To other users, cell phones were an addiction that escalated horn the occasional emergency phone call to the 24/7 "phone-glued-to-the-ear" syndrome. Friends used their phones for cross campus communi- cation. Ever go to meet a friend for dinner at Dukes and they didn't show? With a cell phone, a quick call allowed you to find out they thought you said Market One.

Many students hated the portable communica- tions devices because they believed there was a time and a place to talk on the phone, and it didn't include biology class. Others simply wondered why people didn't just use the handy blue phones scattered throughout campus and didn't think they were worth the many problems they caused. SCOM professor Dr. Robert Patterson didn't like to see drivers use them. "It makes me nervous to know their atten- tion is not completely on the driving task at hand." Paterson felt, however, that people should carry them in their automobiles in case of breakdowns and family emergencies, (continued on p. 100)

(continued from p. 99) "I also think they are good when a person in a family needs to be in immediate touch with others that may he ill or have special needs." Paterson also believed they greatly benefited the medical profession by making it easier to reach doctors, but wondered why a college student would need to be reached in the same kind of urgency.

Sophomore Christina Manz was fed up with cell

On one occasion, Pomykalski and his wife were in New York City at the Broadway production of Beaut)' and the Beast. A cell phone went off during die show and the person held a one-minute conver- sation in the theater. "These situations really bug me as a human communication professor because, in this case, I think the phone detracts from the interaction of actors and the audience. We go to such produc-

phones even though she owned one herself. She recalled tions to escape reality, and that is good tor the soul

was talking on a cell phone!"

Manz constantly witnessed

students around campus chatting

on cell phones when they were

within seconds of a regular phone.

"It seems that wherever I turn

they are right there," she said.

There was a fine line between what was necessary and what was too extreme. Students either hated them, loved them or held an opinion that fell in between. Those who held no strong view on the issue thought they were useful but frowned upon inapproriate and unnecessary use of them around campus. "Sometimes 1 use them and sometimes I

The same principles hold true for me when it

comes to the classroom. They disrupt the quality and

environment created by the class."

Local vendors fed on the cell phone mania by stationing booths around campus to push cell phone packages with various deals and colored faceplates to hook students. The most common reason students gave tor cell phone use was long-distance rates. NCR, one cell phone provider, offered 1,000 minutes for $50. Other companies such as Suncom, and Sprint competed with each other for the cheapest rates and widest local calling area. Certain plans had local calling rates for the entire United States while other companies had a

have your phone go off in the middle of class. If I'm going to the mall or someplace like that I'll leave it on," said Manz.

Authority figures such as professors were also included in the technology boom. "I myself carry a cell phone, but the only communication I use the cell phone for is to contact my wife," said ISAT professor Dr. James Pomykalski. "I have not been bothered yet by having a student's phone ring in class, but I am waiting for the day. I hate when I'm out in public and one goes off," he said.

While some people still believe in using a pay phone, many have stopped tumbling through their wallets tor 35 cents and have just bought a cell phone. Like most technological advances, the cell phone posed both pros and cons in today's society. Dr. Rose summed up the situation when he said, "as is the case with most things, there is a time and a place for everything. Alarms, "beeps" and ringing phones are not appropriate in certain environments. Let's respect our faculty and fellow students while in the classroom." theend

The Napster craze exploded across computers causing a worldwide copyright battle, affecting music- lovers everywhere.

BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS

Every generation saw a new medium take the world of music by storm. First there was the LP, then came the 8-track, the cassette, the CD, and in the '90s, the Mini-Disc and ADAT cassette. The latest music craze struck not in the form of a disc or cassette at all, but a computer file. MP3, the new digitally- compressed audio file, took the Internet generation by storm.

MP3s could be easily downloaded in a multitude of ways online. Serious legal considerations, however, accompanied their use. MP3s were intended to record music for personal use, as well as to download music by permission. The latter use primarily involved unsigned recording artists who sought to promote their music in any way possible. Free transfer of their music over the Internet gave them more exposure. This free transfer of copyrighted and licensed music, however, not only denied payment of royalties to professional artists, but it was also illegal.

The music industry claimed to lose money every day to illegal transfers of MP3 files. Downloading MP3s could be a costless alternative to buying CDs; the sound quality was nearly the same. Using free software and CD-R recording (continued on p. 105)

(continued from p. 102) hardware, people were "burning" their own custom CDs for a fraction of the cost. This trend of exchanging illegal files and recording illegal CDs grew, especially among college students with fast ethernet access.

At the forefront of MP3 exchange was Napster, a file-sharing music search service. Shawn Fanning, a 19- year-old computer programmer, began Napster on June 1, 1999 as a superior program to search for MP3s. There were 22 million users as of September 2000 and more joined every day. Around 50 million music files were available to Napster users. With the huge success of the program, Napster was able to put up the $2 million cost to sponsor a free summer tour featuring Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill.

Sharing MP3s by way of Napster became so popular among college students that universities all over America experienced slower servers and clogged networks. Many raised concerns about the legal implications of the copyright violations occurring daily. According to Reuters, 130 schools, including Kent State University and New York University, blocked the program to free up bandwidth. Over 70 students at Carnegie Mellon University were reprimanded in November 1999 for illegal MP3 use. A student at Oregon State University became the first person charged under the No Electronic Theft Act tor illegitimate MP3 activity. Nonetheless, the popularity of MP3s kept growing.

Last summer, however, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) filed a lawsuit against Napster, claiming the search service contributed to widespread copyright infringement in violation of the 1992 Home Recording Act, in effect pirating music. Music giants Metallica and Dr. Dre supported the RIAA. In July, a U.S. District Court sided with the RIAA, demanding that Napster shut down. Napster, however, quickly won a stay of judgment and appealed the case. In August, Napster presented briefs to the court stating its case. In September, the RIAA presented its briefs, including arguments from the Motion Picture Association of America and the U.S. Copyright Office.

But how did the students feel? Freshman Dervan Hughes was one of many avid Napster fans. She had used Napster for over a year and preferred it to going out and buying CDs. "Its my entire music supply right now," said Hughes.

Sharing the sentiments of her classmates, Hughes felt that it promoted artists rather than pirated them. "It's a good advertisement," added Hughes. "It helps me hear new material and figure out who I like."

Some students found alternatives to Napster.

Junior R.J. Powell was a former Napster user who later preferred to use the Windows-based Network Neighborhood option on his computer to search other students' files. "I used to have [Napster]," said Powell, "but it took too long. I'm impatient." Junior Mike Kim switched to Scour, another search engine that searches for pictures and movies as well as music. "It's much more versatile than Napster," said Kim.

Although he downloaded MP3 files, like most students, Powell still bought most of his music on CDs. "I don't care if it shuts down," said Powell. "It won't really affect me." Kim had similar feelings about the possible court action. "If it shuts down, I'm sure whatever the courts say will be a fair decision," said Kim. "It's no big loss to me."

Many schools banned Napster, claiming that the program tied up their network and slowed down their servers. However, not everyone believed this was necessarily true. "Taking up too much bandwidth, I don't know," added Kim. "Those schools probably just don't want to be sued by artists. They're probably just trying to be careful."

Being sued by artists for using Napster was a real concern. Sophomore Margaret MacKenzie was sued by Dr. Dre for downloading his hit song "Forgot About Dre" through Napster. "I came back to school and when I first tried to connect to Napster, I got a message saying that I've been banned by Dr. Dre." She was then directed to a website where she could view the official court document that stated she was being sued and she was given two options to consider. One was to write a letter of apology and then it would be decided whether or not to continue with the suit, or to fill out the document and claim to have "no knowledge of infringing upon Dr. Dre's copyrights," which would lead to a personal investigation.

MacKenzie said she would not do anything about it until Napster's case finished. She seemed fairly nonchalant as there were 230,000 other people being sued besides herself.

In any case, if Napster shut down permanently, students agreed they would find other ways to down- load music, and would surely continue to do so. THEEND

formerly inhabited by Greeks, is a small symbol of much larger changes inside. Spruce Hall, which

used to be the Kappa Sigma House, was one of four houses designated

for transfers to live in.

Arriving back to campus, members of Greek Life noticed a difference in their community, asking, "Oh my gosh, Becky look at her shirt! It's, like, totally without letters. I thought this was Greek Row. So what's with the outsider?" Greek Row became the home to transfer students, who moved into four former sorority and fra-ternity houses. The Alpha Chi Omega sorority house was vacated when the group lost their charter and became the Willow House. Three former fraternity houses shed their letters for names that resembled trees. The Kappa Sigma House became the Spruce House, Poplar House was previously occupied by Sigma Phi Epsilion, and Chi Phi House transformed into the Dogwood House.

The residence life budget was based on filling 5,787 beds. The more beds filled, the lower the rent rates were. Greek row was included in this count of beds. "In the Spring of 2000 we found out that four Greek groups would be moving off campus. Two were asked to leave by their national organiza- tion and two chose to leave because of dwindling membership, meaning they couldn't fill their houses," said Office of Residence Life (ORL) Senior Director, Jim McConnel. The Office of Greek Life did not

have any Greek groups who wanted to move onto the row, so ORL was forced to think of alternative uses for 112 empty beds, which translated into $318,528 in lost revenue.

"The Greek Life office asked us to not allow current JMU students to sign up for empty beds on the row. There was a concern that Greek groups would move in together in an 'unofficial' Greek house," said McConnel. ORL honored that request and set out to think of other "customers" to live on the row. The obvious possibilities were new (continued on p. 108)

(continual from p. 107) transfers. Freshmen were ruled out, which left 245 students who had request- ins; housing for the fall. The hope was to create a place where ORL could target programs and services to meet the needs ot transfer students and help in their transition to the university.

From die business point or view, the situation was simple: ORL filled the space in order to collect rent and pay their bills. The decision also had an impact on current residents of the row. Katherine Julian, President of Alpha Phi sorority had a positive outlook on the situation. "1 know that at first all the Greeks were quite concerned and hesitant, but Dr. Warner and Rick Larson came to one of our president's meetings and explained that this is a temporary thing and they want to keep Greek row, Greek. I don't really mind seeing all the new faces walking down the row, however I do hope that the row will be all Greek again soon!"

Katherine addressed one of the biggest concerns brought on by the decision; the question of whether the move was only the first in a plan to phase out Greek row. To some Greek students it seemed like the trans- formation was made to punish the Greek community as a whole.

To a majority of Greek students, the newcomers weren't a bother at all. Fraternities and sororities only expressed concern that transfers might feel awkward among established organizations. Meagan Sullivan, a transfer student who lived in the Poplar House, was anything but happy with her condi- tions. "In the beginning, being a new student at JMU, I felt secluded from everyone else who was not in a fraternity or sorority. I wanted to experience a regular dorm lite and the tree houses are not like that at all," said Sullivan. She commented on how her particular building was repleat with problems, from faulty cable to non-functioning showers. Meagan admitted that since she decided to participate in sorority recruit- ment and pledge Alpha Phi, the transfer houses weren't so bad. She said that she had no intention, however, of staying in Poplar for spring semester.

President Linwood Rose expressed his concern for the lite of Greek Row and his hope that new sororities and fraternities would move to campus. "Fraternities and sororities have a long and proud history at the university. They play an important role in the life of JMU and the students who participate in their many programs." the END

Few individuals touched the community in so many ways and with such dedication as Rick Hill. Whether entertaining listeners with his brisk guitar melodies at Taylor Down Under or handing out his famous chocolate chip cookies to students passing through the Warren Post Office, Hill offered a constant outpouring of joy and hospitality to everyone he came into contact with.

His co-workers felt his warmth and passion. Ritter Clevenger, coordinator of UDAR who often worked with Hill in Taylor Hall, reminisced about his early experiences with him. "I realized he brought a lot of joy to people."

Rick Hill had been everywhere. Literally, he had been all over the country with Alternative Spring Breaks he helped coordinate, (continued on p. 1 12)

extension of the heart

(continued from p. Ill) More immediately, he hud been a presence and .1 personality diroughout die community, working with various organizations and participating in different activities.

Hill started the Alternative Spring Break program at the university in 1992. He worked with Habitat for Humanity and Community Service Learning coordinating the program. In so doing he earned these organizations and himself several awards for service and leadership, including the first-ever "all together one" award last year.

All of his contributions to the community have earned him praise, respect, and admiration among the students and staff. Junior Morgana Wallace spoke about his involvement with Community Service Learning and Alternative Spring Breaks. "He's wonder- ful," said Wallace. "[His] energy and passion seem endless."

One of Hills primary roles was that of Campus Minister of Presbyterian Campus Ministry. He helped the community blossom through service, worship, and song. With programs such as "Make Someone's Day Great," Presbyterian Campus Ministry contributed many examples or fellowship to the greater community. Hill originated the "Make Someone's Day Great" campaign which provided people an opportunity to make cards for loved ones and peers. Every week, Hill brought a tin full of chocolate chip cookies, stationary, stamps, and a smile to Warren Campus Center. The man with the bushy beard, neat ponytail, and small round glasses sat back and greeted the oncoming students, encouraging them to create cards for others.

In September, Hill left the community that had embraced him so. He left Presbyterian Campus Ministry to take a position as a pastor at Scoharie Presbyterian Church near Albany, New York. Although he was eager to accept the new challenge, Hill found it tough to leave his home. "I thought it might be a neat thing," Hill said of the opportunity to preach. "I'm really, really excited . . . but it's difficult to leave."

Before he left, the family of students and staff he inspired threw a farewell ceremony for him. Community Sen ice Learning and Taylor Down Under coordinated the celebration that included speakers, performers, and refreshments. Colleagues, co-workers, and students graced the stage and reflected on their experiences with Hill. Guests included Kate Malmrose and Tracy Arnold of Taylor Down Under, UDAP Coordinator Ritter Clevenger, Rich Harris from Community

Service Learning, students Kevin Hoch, Morgana Wallace, Thea Zumwalt, former student Jason Masturka, and Father John Grace from Catholic Campus Ministry.

At the emotional farewell ceremony, friends and co-workers presented gifts to Hill with tears in their eyes. He received a fountain from Presbyterian Campus Ministry containing small colored rocks which were inscribed with different values, a huge going-away card from Catholic Campus Ministry, a t-shirt with comments and signatures from the Alternative Spring Break Program, a book of community cookie recipes compiled by Taylor Down Under, and a book of lerters written to Hill.

Hill performed at the ceremony's end, first with senior Thea Zumwalt and then with alumnist Jason Misturka. Zumwalt was a local musician who claimed Hill as her inspiration "to play guitar in public and perform."

When it came time for Hill to speak, he expressed his gratitude with the same humble grin that won over all those who cared about him. "I learned from you," said Hill of all his friends. "[You] have really challenged me in ways that encouraged me to grow. You brought out amazing creative stuff in me I didn't know I had." With heartfelt sentiment he admitted, "the hardest part about leaving this job is leaving y'all."

Hill's parting words to the community were truly words of action, commissioning everyone to carry on his legacy. "If I have done something to help you learn and grow, pass that on," he said. "It's your responsibility to make this a better place . . . it's up to you to figure out how to do that."

Hill was a beloved figure on campus and will be missed dearly. Senior Jen McKeever, a member of Habitat tor Humanity, felt strongly about Hill's character. "He's an amazing person that has touched every individual without even knowing it."

Perhaps senior Kevin Hoch, who performed "Rainy Day," a song he wrote dedicated to Hill, described Hill's departure the best. "Rick will leave a lasting impression on the JMU community. Other people need to experience him," said Hoch. "It would be selfish for us to hold on to Rick Hill forever." theend

On September 1 2, 2000, Courtney "Taylor" Ray boarded the plane for what would be the trip of a lifetime. Going to the 2000 Summer Olympic Games was overwhelming enough, but Taylor was going to cheer his sister on. The five-hour trip across the United States to San Francisco was only a hint of what was to come. After changing planes in California, he was on his way to Sydney to watch his sister live out her dream. Fourteen hours later, Taylor arrived with his mother, father, and grand- mother to the playground for the world's best athletes.

Taylor's 18-year-old sister, Mary "Elise" Ray, represented the U.S. Gymnastics team and served as their captain. As a top finisher at the Olympic trials and a 2000 U.S. National Champion, her team- mates elected her captain. Involved with gymnastics since the age of 5, she reached Olympic levels and gained a national championship title in 1999. Graduating from high school in May of 1999, she trained for 3 years prior to Sydney. In order to compete in the Olympics she had to take her first semester off at Michigan State.

The family agreed that if Elise qualified for the Olympics that everyone, including her grandmother, would make the trip to Australia. This posed a problem for Taylor who would have to miss three weeks of classes. "My teachers were great about adjusting their absence policies so that I was able to miss so much time. They really deserve a lot of credit and helped out a lot." After explaining his situation to his professors, they were really understanding and agreed to work with him. (continued on p. 116)

(continued from p. 115) The first week of his stay in Sydney, a portion ol the hotel costs were paid for by the U.S. Olympic team. The team put the families of Olympic participants up in the luxurious Star City 1 lotcl. The second week's lodging was not provided for so Taylor and his family stayed with a host family just outside of Sydney. Tiylor almost exclusively attended gymnastics meets with the exception of one track and Held meet. Tickets for each event had to be purchased except for the complementary tickets given to each athletes parents by the U.S. Olympic team.

The atmosphere of the Olympic Games was overwhelming and exciting. Flags from each country covered the Olympic Village. "The atmosphere at the

Olympic Games is hard to describe. It is really something that needs to be experienced to do it justice. There is a real feeling of camaraderie and unity among all the people there because everyone is there for the same reason: to cheer for their country. Language and culture barriers seem to be lifted because of this 'Olympic spirit' felt by all the people there" said Ray.

Sightseeing in Sydney was as exciting as the Olympics itself. In the city, Taylor visited the Aquarium, The Opera House, and downtown Sydney. One of the greatest events next to watching Elise compete in her lifelong dream was visiting the Great Barrier Reef off Australia's east coast. "The Great Barrier Reef was the most magnificent thing I have ever seen. The water was crystal blue and the surrounding fish

and coral were like you were in an underwater painting. I really learned to appreciate the beauty of nature after that trip."

AT&T, the official sponsor of the U.S. Team, went to great lengths to make the families of the athletes feel at home. They set up a family center on the harbor overlooking the Opera House in a rented restaurant. The center provided gourmet food, desserts and closed circuit broadcasting of the events. Taylor enjoyed the convenience of being able to stop in and grab free food from an extravagant buffet while watching the Olympics without commercials or commentators. Taylor specified that the food wasn't just regular food. It was very extravagant, with foods such as shrimp and fancy desserts.

In the individual all-around finals, television viewers watched in amazement as gymnast after gymnast performed badly on their vaults. Taylor watched from the sidelines but without commentators, the spectators didn't know what was going on. "It was the strangest thing to see my sister and the five other vaulters lined up to do the vault again after the meet was supposed to be over," said Taylor. "We thought that her falls on the vault were just due to her having a bad day. We had no idea that there was a mis-setting. But it all worked out because her new vaults moved her from 35th place to 14th as the top American finisher, which is where she deserved to be." The vault was set higher than the one the girls normally practiced and competed on. Although the mis-setting was only by a couple of inches, the slightest change had big consequences for the gymnasts.

In regards to Taylor's relationship with his sister, he said, "We are very close. She knows she can always come to me, and I'll support her." Being there was not only the experience of a lifetime, but an honor. Just to be in Sydney to witness the Olympics was one thing, but to be there to witness his sister live- out her dream was more important than anything else. "To see my sister live her dream and represent her country in the games gave me real inspiration for myself. I was able to see firsthand how with hard work and dedication, dreams can become realities. No one deserved it more than her and I feel fortunate to have been a part of such a special experience. It will be something that I will never forget." THEEND

The true changes of the university were best seen through the

eyes of the faculty and staff who had been around the longest.

They helped to shed light on what made the universtiy and why it

Perhaps the greatest expansion came under Dr. Ronald E. Carrier, the university's fourth president, from 1971 to 1999. Under Dr. Carrier, not only did enrollment triple, but the amount of applications went from 3,800 a year to 15,313 in the past year. In this time period, more than 20 major campus buildings were built and the amount of full-time faculty and staff went from 500 to 1,750. The true

They helped to shed light on what made the university so great, and why it kept getting better with time. Current Sports Media Relations Director Gary Michael was an active member on campus since 1980. After working on the Breeze as an editor and graduat- ing from the university in 1977, he went on to take an assistant director position in his first five years of post-college employment. As a former student and then as the director of sports/media relations, he witnessed a lot of transformations within the university.

innovative programs, such as ISAT, because it allows you to branch out into different fields and it's a chance to put our name on something," said Michael.

As an administrator who dealt with an immense amount of publicity and student interaction, David Barnes eagerly attested to the amount of change that spread throughout campus. Barnes began working at the university in 1993 as an assistant director of student activities, his first job requiring the renovation and opening of Taylor Hall, (continued on p. 126)

tmpresso Ch;

(continued from p. 124) Since then, he had five different offices and six jobs within the department in eight years. For some this would be overwhelming, but Barnes welcomed the alterations with enthusiasm directed towards the success of the students. Taylor Hall itself evolved to become the University Center with more focus on student organizations and orientations. Barnes referred to the university as an interesting culture that viewed things differently by encouraging continual growth. "Every day my job is different and for me that is very invigorating and exciting part of my job. The nature of what we do is very refreshing and I look forward to going to work every day," said Barnes. Even though it was hard to accommodate the increasing amount of club activities and students as the school grew, overall he believed that the changes were for the best.

While some viewed the additions and changes as bringing a greater atmosphere and personality to the university, others disagreed. Dr. Anne Gabbard- Alley, who had worked in the Speech Communications department since 1978, had to deal with her department's relocation repeatedly over the past 21 years. During her time at the university, the SCOM department resided in such buildings as Zirkle House, Wine-Price, (known as the "Virgin Vault" at the time), Anthony-Seeger and most recendy in the annex section of Harrison Hall. Over the years they added programs and enlarged certain majors and concentrations such as Health-Communications, Mediation, and Public Relations. Gabbard-Alley viewed the increasing amount of students as detrimental to the overall student body. "The university used to be capable of helping 12,000 students not 16,000. You just can't teach a class in a persona] way like you used to," said Gabbard-Alley. She also viewed the addition of the new science and technology buildings and the residence halls across the highway as unnecessary. "I think it's the ugliest group of structures I have seen built on one of the prettiest landscapes of JMU's campus," said Gabbard-Alley.

Another member of the SCOM department, Bruce McKinney, not only recalled the various building relocations, but also a time when the SCOM department was known as Communication Arts. McKinney had

been at the university intermittently since 1981. Moving into the Harrison Annex marked the fourth office he had occupied on campus. Like other faculty members, McKinney had mixed emotions about the expansion and change. He remembered working at the university when nobody had heard of JMU. Now, with a greater reputation, the school had grown tremendously. He did, however, see downfalls to the growth. "The biggest problem with the growth is that the students are having a hard time getting classes and minors have become extinct," he said. One thing that had not changed was the relationship of the university with the people of Harrisonburg. McKinney recalled the strained relationship reaching back for years. "The community didn't embrace JMU, they just put up with it," he said.

Rex Fuller, a professor in the SCOM department, had been at the university for 27 years, and although he was in his sixth office (the first one on the main campus), he saw no downfalls to the expansion. Not only did Fuller applaud the growth of opportunity and diversity, but he felt, "JMU has done an excellent job of capturing the best elements of smaller schools and bigger schools, while avoiding inadequacies." The expansion of departments presented students with great chances and the array of programs gave choices not found at smaller universities. Fuller also believed that the university was a leader in the development of student life and that was one of its greatest aspects. "There is emphasis on developing the student in a comprehensive way," commented Fuller. "There are hundreds of organizations for students to get involved with, and many large programs, such as the advising program, to contribute to the success of the students at JMU."

Change could be seen in every department. Director of Bands Dr. Pat Rooney had been on staff since 1982. He remembered during his first years that the music department was housed in five different buildings and the band was in the present day experimental theater building. He said that even with the programs all growing in size and quality, the school still had a "personal touch that many schools don't have." (continued on p. 128)

(continued from p. 126) The last 20 years had seen the music and hand program become one of the "premier programs in the east," and Rooney added that the quality of the students had also dramatically changed.

Dr. Robert Roberts, a professor in the political science department, also began teaching at the university in 1982. When he joined the department, he recalled it only had 7 or 8 full-time faculty members serving under the department head, professor Dick Nelson. When Dr. Roberts arrived, the political science department was located in the basement of Burruss Hall and the campus was somewhat different. The other side of Interstate 81 had not yet been developed. After his arrival, Roberts said he saw the following buildings constructed shaping the school into what it is today: Showker Hall, Sonner Hall, the Music Building, McGraw-Long Residence Hall, Bell Residence Hall, Hillside Residence Hall, Phillips Center, University Recreation Center and the Integrated Science and Technology Building. "In other words, the major change that took place since my arrival has involved the development of the other side of the campus. Between 1982 and the present, the university has grown a few thousand students at a time," Roberts said.

As the former president of James Madison University, Dr. Ronald E. Carrier had been with the university through many dynamic stages as it evolved from a predominantly female college to a coed university. Inaugurated as president in 1971, the 38-year-old Carrier was the youngest university president in Virginia and among the youngest in the nation. At that time there were only 400 male students and 3,400 females attending the school known as Madison College. Over the 28 years that Carrier was in office, he oversaw planning for growth that is still occurring. He played

a significant role in the increase of student enrollment, the improvement ot programs and the quality of education. Once 85 percent oi the student body graduated with a degree in teaching. Now that was true for only 12 percent of the campus population. Additional majors in business, psychology, media arts and design, and science and technology opened up a wide variety of career opportunities.

Spearheading his vision for the future, President Carrier definitely had a busy schedule that held the students' best interests at hand first and foremost. With help from his staff and other administrators, enrollment increased each year, the number and quality of athletic programs grew, and new buildings emerged. The administrative team hired a diverse faculty, offered more majors, and vitalized student life through 28 intercollegiate programs, a modern fitness center and 250 clubs and organizations.

"We offer our students a chance to be part of the best undergraduate program through their teachers, the new technological advancements, and improvement of their educational experience," said now Chancellor Carrier. And he clearly still invested his time and energy into the institution that carried not only his name on the library but his imprint from the beauty of the campus to the top rankings in national publications.

In a relatively short period of time, the university succeeded in expanding the opportunities available to students by accommodating their needs. Each year, as the university grew, so did its reputation, attracting more applicants each year as programs expanded and improved. From the years as Madison College to JMU as it is today, the teachers were here through it all, and through their eyes alone students learned how special their university really was. the END

At the mention of Parents Weekend, most people conjured scenes of a crowded D-Hall and a breezy autumn football game accompanied by hordes of parents. Everyone knows how hectic campus was that weekend. Anxious parents chased boisterous sons and daughters who were excited to show mom and dad the highlights or their new home. Yet, the busiest people during Parents Weekend were probably neither the students nor their parents. While families drove through the valley looking for a nice place to share a meal and catch up with each other, employees of local restaurants and hotels worked non-stop to accommodate them.

Every area hotel and restaurant had its staff running around diligently for one of the busiest weekends of the year. In preparation, restaurants set up signs and ran ads in local papers welcoming visiting families, while hotels readied their rooms and reviewed reservations for overbooking.

With so many visitors flooding the community, all restaurants stayed crowded regardless of size or menu. National franchises like Outback Steakhouse and Ruby Tuesday as well as local favorites such as Luigi's and Calhoun's kept their sections filled with people waiting in lines for free tables. Large restaurants like Biltmore Grill and smaller sandwich shops like Spanky's experienced some ot their heaviest rushes of the year.

Most restaurants carried their usual menus and ran their weekly specials. Bob White, owner of Luigi's, was one of the many proprietors who ran a regular menu and tasted huge success. "We certainly draw a big crowd," said White. "We don't have any particular deals for the weekend, but we sell a lot of gift certificates, though. The parents eat and then buy certificates for meals later."

l'ltalia, a cozy local Italian eatery, was one of the few venues that offered specials for the busy weekend. Owner Gervasio Amato featured a select menu of savory entrees, (continued on p. 133)

Before kickoff at the football game on Parent's Weekend, Peter Colosi and Kristine Tunney were announced as the new Mr. and Ms. Madison. The two were chosen among eight finalists for being the embodiment of good character and good academics and were honored by the SGA for their dedication and involvement within the university.

"JMU is an incredible place to grow, not just academically, but physically and emotionally as well. I feel that I have taken full advanrage of this opportunity to grow and best represent our school because of it. I feel that 1 have grown as much as 1 possibly could have in my three years here. I am graduating in May and I will look back on college and know that I wasted none of the opportunities JMU gave me."

Ms. Madison: Kristine Tunney Major: Russian Minor: SCOM Organization: Zeta Tau Alpha

"JMU is an incredible place, no one cm dispute that, and what greater honor is there than to be chosen by your peers as someone that exemplifies all the attributes that rhis school is founded upon and continues to stand for."

PARENTS,

weekend

(continued from p. 130) "During Parents Weekend, we run special dinners," said Amato. "We have a variety, including swordfish, filet mignon, lobster scampi, and scallops."

Not every restaurant took reservations for dinner, which affected the waiting periods. LItalia took reserva- tions only for parties of six or more. Biltmore Grill took reservations, and well ahead of time. "Our reservations for Saturday are 80 percent full two weeks ahead," said Christian Holmes, general manager at Biltmore.

Reservations or not, everyone could expect a long wait when Saturday night rolled around. By 9:30 Saturday night, the wait at Calhoun's had reached almost an hour- and- a-half. Outback Steakhouse, which did not accept reservations due to corporate policy, boasted the longest wait time. "We get a huge crowd," said Scott Stephens, Dining Room Manager. "The wait has been up to two hours and 20 minutes." Amato said of the situation at Luigi's, "It's not a long wait. We try to accommodate everybody. No more than 30 minutes."

Not every restaurant had a long wait. Sophomore Natalie Kappel had a shorter experience. "We wanted to go to Outback, but it was too crazy," said Kappel. "We went to Pargo's. It wasn't very crowded. We sat down right away. I really liked the atmosphere, it was nice."

Most restaurants had their most hectic period on Saturday night tor dinner. Calhoun's even had a band for their Saturday evening crowd. Interestingly enough, White said that Luigi's had a lot of business Sunday morning. "We do really well Friday night and Sunday morning," he said. "Right before they pull out, they come and eat one more time."

Sophomore Robert Burghart experienced the Saturday night rush with his family at Chili's. "It was really crowded," said Burghart. "There was a group of 1 1 waiting outside." Despite the crowd, the service remained excellent. "The service was great. I think all restaurants expect that for the weekend."

Even smaller venues had long waits and hectic shifts. Curtis Hakala, Assistant Manager of Spanky's, commented on the rushed situation. "It's about as busy as Homecoming," said Hakala. "Less rowdy, though." At the busiest times, the wait clocked in over 35 minutes.

To prepare for the big weekend, many eateries ordered extra food and had a larger staff on hand. "At the Biltmore, we usually have 8-10 servers on the weekends," said Holmes. "For Parents Weekend, we increase by 2-3 servers. We determine how much food

to order by taking last years sales and increasing by 15 percent." Most restaurant owners and managers felt pretty confident about handling the rush. "We've been around for 25 years," said White. "We've got it down to a science."

Restaurants weren't the only businesses kept bustling by the students and their families. Area hotels felt the impact of the rush too, filling to capacity and forcing parents to look far and wide down Rt. 81 to find last-minute accommodations.

Whether at the Hampton Inn or Shoney's Inn, the Four Points Sheraton or the Joshua Wilton House, even' local hotel had been fully booked a year or more in advance. Most hotels did not need to advertise their services to reach that capacity. "It usually fills up a year in advance," said Gini Boyers, general manager of Shoney's Inn. "Ads, we don't really need to run. It's pretty much a given that we'll fill up."

Some years found the hotels quiet, and other years found the hotels swarming with guests. Several parents had their students spend time with them at the hotels and stay overnight. Others barely entered their rooms but to sleep.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the service, though. As busy as the employees were, it didn't affect their attitude or level of professionalism. Senior Robbie Carman's parents stayed at the Quality Inn in Staunton. "My parents loved it," said Carman. "They really loved the service, and couldn't stop talking about the great coffee."

Since the weekend was such a big occasion, most hotels had alternate rates. Almost every hotel raised their prices for Parents Weekend, but it didn't deter families from coming. Several hotels had stay require- ment policies to accommodate the facilities for the entire time. "We require a two-night minimum," said Michael Dull, guest service representative at Howard Johnson's. "The families stay the whole weekend."

As one of the busiest weekends for visiting parents at the university, it was also one of the busiest weekends of the year for hotels. "We're just as busy as for Homecoming and graduation," said Dull. "It's just not as rambunctious." Most hotels rated it alongside graduation. "It's about the same," said Boyers. "For graduation, it just means dealing with more grandparents."

Parents Weekend has always been one of the busiest times of the year, as well as one of the most memorable. Area hotel and restaurant employees enjoyed this hurried time, and looked forward to it every year. THEEND

Admitting to concertgoers "I know this is probably the stupidest thing you've ever seen," W.K. exhausted himself after four songs and left the stage with cheers from the audience, making way for the real talent of the evening.

As leader singer Dave Grohl walked on stage dressed in a black shirt, slacks and a white tie, the band broke into "Learn to Fly," and the Convocation Center erupted into screams of joy. Most of the evening showcased the same energy with fast, guitar-heavy singles like "Monkey Wrench" and "Breakout." The Foo foursome played their share of mellow sets as well with hits like "Aurora" and "Big Me." Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins traded roles for a few sets, covering songs by Peter Frampton and Pink Floyd.

Promoting their new album, There Is Nothing Left To Lose, the band members gave the audience a taste of their newest hits while satisfying requests for old favorites. Ending with as much intensity as their entrance, the Foo Fighters exited with "This Is A Call" from their self-titled debut album. END

Hosting local radio station WBOP's ninth annual Birthday Bash concert at Wilson Hall, the University Program Board brought the modern rock troupe Tonic to an eager student audience. The Charlottesville-based group Earth to Andy opened, pumping up many of their local supporters.

After spending several months on the road with Third Eye Blind, Tonic began their coast-to-coast college tour. The Wilson Hall show was on the last eg of the tour, preceding only Atlantic City and hiladelphia before a reunion with Third Eye Blind for a European tour.

Following Earth to Andy's dynamic opening. Tonic connected with the crowd with their relaxed two-hour set. Fifteen songs from their two major- label albums, Lemon Parade and Sugar, kept fans content as they left their seats to get closer to the performers. Between songs, lead singer Emerson Hart treated the fans with explanations of the lyrics.

Tonic kept the crowd in suspense as they waited until the end of the show before playing their biggest hit, "If You Could Only See." Towards the end of the song, Hart asked the audience to sing the final verse, which they gladly did.

Afterwards, the band left the stage but returned to perform "Lemon Parade" and "Wicked Soldier" for an encore in response to the crowd's insatiable chanting.

Tonic played a fantastic set and pleased the crowd, supplying sound messages with emotional melodies. Their memorable performance gave WBOP a birthday they wouldn't soon forget. END

Hundreds of students filed into the Convocation Center on October 30th to see Vertical Horizon put on a show, and they got everything they wanted. The four-man set, introduced by opening band Nine Days, rocked the crowd with an energetic performance that clocked in at nearly an hour-and-a-half.

Touring to promote Everything You Want, their 1999 release on RCA records, the boys of Vertical Horizon brought their mellow form of rock to the masses courtesy of the University Program Board.

Combining the sounds of Dave Matthews, Better than Ezra, and Edwin McCain, the band began its nine-year history locally. The group, consisting of singer Matt Scannell, guitarist/vocalist Keith Kane, bassist Sean Hurley, and drummer EdToth founded its homegrown sound at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., where Scannell and Kane were doing undergraduate work. Toth and Hurley joined the troupe in 1996 and 1998, respectively.

Almost a decade and four albums later. Vertical Horizon had toured the world and conquered the airwaves with their first two smash singles, "Every- thing You Want," and "You're a God." Their impact on tans was evident as the band came onstage to a screaming audience.

After Nine Days' crowd-stirring opening, including a cover of The Buggies' "Video Killed the Radio Star" and a dynamic performance of their commercial hit "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)," the fans were amped for the entrance of the headlining act.

The boys of Vertical Horizon started their adrenaline-fueled performance with a treat for their core fans. Scannell led his crew on a musical journey through time as they performed songs from their earlier independent albums. More emotional tracks from There and Back Again, Running on Ice, and Live Stages provided a perfect balance to the more aggressive tracks from their current album.

Both new and old fans waited anxiously in anticipation of the band's performance of their recent hit singles. The popular title track was the last song played, while their current single "You're a God," was saved for the encore.

Vertical Horizon played to their fans, giving them everything they could have asked for. By well- delivered acoustic arrangements and soulful solos, they kept the crowd's arms swaying and feet stomping, from beginning to end. THEEND

BYKRISTINSTANSBERRYANDSARAHHARTOUGH

What could have been better than Virginias Finest, the Marching Royal Dukes (MRDs) on the field, blowing away the crowd during halftime at a home football game? How about the MRDs ringing in the Millenium in Athens, Greece?

The trip was the highlight of my marching band experience at the university. We were invited to Athens for New Years and pre-Olympic Celebrations from December 26 through January 4. With at least a hundred companions in tow, we spent eight days in Athens and traveled all throughout the countryside of Greece.

The plane trip was long, (at least 10 hours), and even longer for some. But, as I stepped off the plane, the warm ocean breeze captured my attention and all thoughts of that long plane trip disappeared from my mind. Walking through the Athenian airport, I no longer could read the signs or understand the spoken language. However, I decided to yield from making any preconceptions and embarked on a journey filled with memories to last a lifetime.

After receiving a full night's rest at the Hotel Stanley, we stumbled out the next morning bright and early to board the buses and begin our sightseeing tour. Our first stop was the famous Acropolis where we spent two hours exploring the ruins of the 2500-year-old city attributed to the goddess Athena. From there, we sprinted down to the Olympic Stadium where the first modern-day Olympics were held. After a day of touring Athens, all 450 MRDs headed to Omonia Square for our first and only practice. Rehearsing in front of a gathering crowd of curious and enchanted residents, we realized that our two performances were going to be quite amazing.

On Friday, we journeyed from Athens (the modern capital of Greece) to Nauplia (the ancient capital of Greece). Stopping along the way at the Corinth Canal, we left the buses to stretch our legs after a 3-hour ride through the windy roads of the mountains and to take pictures of the beautiful scenery. Before our final stop, we visited the ruins of the 3,000-year-old Acropolis of Mycenae, the oldest acropolis in Europe. Orange and

olive trees enveloped the land, giving us a breath- taking view.

After eating an exquisite lunch, we proceeded to our performance sight, the beautiful Syntagma Square in Nauplia. We performed to a crowd of at least 100 surprised Greeks who acted as if they had never seen anything like us before! After our performance, the mayor greeted us and exchanged gifts with Dr. Rooney. Despite the excitement of the long, exhausting day, the following day would prove to be even better.

We awoke early the next morning in anticipation of our cruise among the Saronic Gulf islands. Anxious and excited, we boarded our ship that took us to three islands where we would have enough time to disembark and get as much shopping and sightseeing done as possible. Our first stop was the small island of Poros, covered with pine and lemon trees, and situated very close to the Peloponnesian peninsula. We enjoyed a beautiful walk up to the clock tower and admired the panoramic view before us. I tried my hand at bargaining for the first time in a few local shops and to my surprise was quite successful.

After Poros, we boarded the ship and traveled an hour-and-a-half in the warm, summer-like tempera- tures for the island of Hydra. As one of the favorite resorts of the international jet set, Hydra had unique architecture with narrow (continued on p. 142)

(continued from p. 141) pedestrian streets full of boutiques and handicrafts that attracted both shoppers and photographers. Many of us took donkey rides around the tiny city and found ourselves in man)- shops before heading back to our ship.

The last leg of our cruise took us to the island of Aegina. As the biggest of the Saronic Gulf Islands inhabited since 2000 B.C., Aegina had a bountiful supply offish and a unique fruit floating market. The island's economy was based on pistachio nuts and therefore, most of us left with enough pistachio to last a lifetime! Earing dinner as the sun set over the Aegean Sea made for a relaxing end to our day.

On New Years Eve, while some of the MRDs rested up for the long night ahead, many of us opted to see the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio. Sitting on a cliff at the southern most point of Greece, the temple guarded Athens from invaders some 2,500 years ago. The rest of the band was on their own for the entire day, deciding to shop, relax and enjoy the delicious Greek food while catching up on some much-needed sleep.

At approximately 8 p.m., we began assembling to march through the streets of Athens down to Syntagma Square. The excitement in the band built as the drums warmed up and the trumpet soloists played. In the large square, the City of Athens had beautifully decorated the performance area and installed large screen monitors throughout the area so the 500,000 revelers gathered could have a better view. We began marching around 9:30 p.m. and halfway down to the square, the cadence kicked off and the band erupted in cheers. The evenings rainy weather didn't damper anyone's spirits. We lined the steps of the square and from there, we could see the people crowded in just to watch our performance!

The band sounded better than ever that night and we blew the crowd away. We played until 1 1 :30 p.m. when the other performers took over for the final countdown. At midnight, the fireworks were lit (about 20 feet from us, literally) and we rang in the New Year. Everyone ooh-ed and ahh-ed and hugged and kissed each other until it was time to march back.

Back at the hotel, we had an eight-course meal and lots of mask and dancing awaiting us. And yes, at 4 a.m., we were only on our third course, but that didn't bother us as we stayed up until 7 a.m. to celebrate the

New Year with America. About 8:30 a.m., we headed to bed just as the sun was rising. None of us felt guilty for sleeping the day away because nothing in the city was open. And besides, it sure did refresh us for the next day's excursions!

Our final professional tour took us to the ancient and modern city of Delphi, the center of the world. We drove through the fertile plains of Beotia, past the town of Thebes and were led by our tour guide around the ruins of the city. Incredible views aside, we had the opportunity to climb up to the Temple of Apollo, dedicated appropriately to the Greek god of music. After a guided tour through the museum, we headed to lunch, our favorite part of the day. We were provided with a wonderful Greek lunch, full of Spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese), and delicious Baklava. After stuffing ourselves, we headed to Delphi, a quaint city tilled with avid skiers, ski shops and amazing stores of olive oil! We spent that evening back in our hotel room in Athens, marveling over our purchases and relaxing with friends.

Our last day in Athens was a free day for everyone. Because most of us had not completed our shopping, we spent most of the day at the Plaka, a pedestrian area of Athens filled with htindteds of shops ranging from "touristy" stores, to jewelry, leather and ceramic markets. It was impossible not to find something for everyone in this shopping haven.

With mixed emotions during our final evening in Greece, most of us were definitely ready to head back to the United States, but at the same time, we didn't want to leave such an exquisite and fun adventure. Since the first plane back home left at 3 a.m., most of us stayed up to see our friends off and catch a few hours of sleep before boarding our planes.

As I boarded the plane to come home, I didn't want to leave. Athens was a concrete jungle full of old stone and new culture, the capital of a beautiful country that I won't ever hesitate to visit again! theend

Even members of the band were not exempt from passing through several security checkpoints before being allowed to take their positions in the parade route. Prior to making their trip to the nation's capital, the members or the MRDs were briefed about the events of the day and stronelv cautioned to leave anything that even

remotely resembled a weapon at home. As they marched through the streets of Washington, D.C they noted the security lining the streets and

rooftops of surrounding buildings.

The MRDs were among the 38 school bands selected to perform in the parade of 10,900 marchers. The 439 members delivered an impressive performance of "American Celebration," a composition by George M. Cohan as they passed the presidential reviewing stand, attracting a standing ovation among revelers. "It was a great honor to be asked to represent Virginia in the Presidential Inaugural Parade this year. 1 will always remember participating in this once-in-a- lifetime experience," said senior Brooke Nielson.

vVITH VARIOUS SOCIAL AWARENESS ORGANIZATIONS,

Student Government Association President

WAS A MAN OF ACTION, NOT JUST WORDS

BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS

"It's all about the idea of community. The places I've felt most comfortable and most fulfilled were places where people respected each other for what they contributed, not for what they've gained."

As these humble words emanated from Mark Sullivan's mouth, a curious smile that whispered sincerity began to form, showing the Student Government Association (SGA) president truly had a passion for his position. It was quite clear his purpose was to serve his fellow students.

"I try to interact with students on a personal level," said Sullivan. "Hopefully people trust me enough with this job to speak for them."

The senior political science, social science double- major, theatre minor from Chantilly, Va. was truly a representative of the student body. His extra-curricular repertoire was extensive, including many humani- tarian and social awareness organizations. Not only was he very involved by taking an active role in many clubs, he also took the initiative to start a few.

During his freshman year he founded the Students for a Free Tibet organization with the help of his friends. He led the activist group for three years, during which

time, with the help of Amnesty International, he accomplished the incredible feat of bringing a group of Tibetan Monks over from Tibet to speak and share their culture. In doing so, he made a success of one of the biggest projects he's ever worked on. "That was my baby," said Sullivan with a modest grin. "From April of my freshman year to November of my sophomore year, that's what I put my heart into."

Concerned with human rights issues, Sullivan was very involved with Amnesty International and described his participation in the organization as a very rewarding experience. With the help of Amnesty and SGA, he organized Sweatshop Labor Coalition meetings to discuss inhumane labor practices. "I work with the Sweatshop Coalition because I've met people who worked in sweatshops," said Sullivan. "I want to push our community to realize that there's a whole different world out there. We need to think in a broader fashion."

Concerned about his natural surroundings and their care, Sullivan joined E.A.R.TH. (Environmental Awareness and Restoration Through our Help), helping with the campaign to get recycle containers on campus. Through E.A.R.TH., (continued on p. 146)

(continued from p. 145) Sullivan also took part in a push for recycled paper use in the academic and administrative departments on campus.

Everybody round a different avenue for expression, and for Sullivan it was theatre. He played the title role in Macbeth his sophomore year, and the role of "Edmund the Bastard" in King Lear his junior year. Originally his major, theatre became a passion tor Sullivan. "Sometimes I regret not being a theatre major anymore," he said. "Its what I love. It provides an opportunity to analyze human situations in a way you probably couldn't otherwise."

To say that he was busy was an understatement. Despite his hectic schedule, he still found time to take a break from it all and reflect once a week at the Catholic Campus Ministry's (CCM) Sunday Mass. Sullivan took part in several CCM events, especially the Death Penalty Vigils held in remembrance of death row inmates and their victims.

Interested in contributing to positive changes for the university, Sullivan began attending SGA meetings as a sophomore. In his junior year he headed the Academic Affairs Committee where he helped push for the return of Greek and Latin to the Foreign Language department. Success ensued his efforts with the promise to bring back Latin in the fall of 2001, and Greek still in the works.

Hoping to represent the voices and ideas of his peers in the governance of the school, Sullivan ran for and won the SGA presidential position at the end of his junior year. Among his many contributions as president, he pushed for university recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, writing the bill of opinion that the administration finally accepted. For years, the SGA and many other on-campus groups had fought for recognition of the January holiday. "The motivation was already there," said Sullivan. "I didn t feel responsible at all. I was just happy to be a contributing part."

Sullivan made quite an impression on his peers in the SGA. Senior class treasurer Andy Oh admired his ability to communicate with a wide range of students and help them get involved. "His leadership style encompasses an openness for people to be able to come up and approach him," said Oh. "He has a diverse background, and knowing so many different people, he can pull them in to be more involved in their concerns."

Many of his peers saw him as a good role model, including Bobbie Jo Grove, freshman class president. "He's the most passionate person I've ever met," said Grove. "What makes him stand out is that he leads by example.

and he listens. You can count on him to get the job done."

His summers away from the university community were just as eventful and just as incredible. The summer following his freshman year he participated in the Tibetan Freedom Concert in Washington, D.C. Accompanying the concert he helped organize, was a political rally outside the U.S. Capitol. Sullivan later led a group of 500 activists to the White House to demonstrate outside the front gates. This was a great triumph for Sullivan until the police pulled up in paddywagons and arrested him for demonstrating without a permit.

Visions of Tiananmen Square on the nightly news were "burned into" his brain as a child and laid the foundation for his concern about human rights in China and the plight of the Tibetans. The apparent lack of awareness of the injustices occurring in China by Americans led Sullivan to continue his work. The following summer, he returned to help with Tibetan Freedom concerts and demonstrations, this time in Chicago, 111. and Wisconsin. While working on advancing humanitarian issues, he supported himself by waiting tables.

Sullivan began the summer following his junior year by working for the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., helping with the Tibetan Culture Festival on the Mall. During that time, he participated in another significant event, joining his peers in camping on the streets outside the World Bank protesting an effectually false loan to China that undermined the Tibetan population.

Fortunately, the hard work of Sullivan and other concerned supporters of the International Campaign for Tibet around the world paid off when the board of directors decided to cancel the loan that Julv. "This loan broke seven standards of the World Bank," said Sullivan. "By allowing this loan, gross human rights violations and environmental degradation would be funded. There was an overwhelming global movement to stop it."

That was only the beginning of the final summer before his graduation. Inspired by a CCM program educating the community about the Free Burma Coalition, he spent six weeks in Thailand with family and friends, and then with members of the coalition in Northern Thailand, (continued on p. 148)

(continued from p. 146) Sullivan then dedicated his time to working in refugee camps, meeting members of advocacy organizations made up of Thai nationals as well as Burmese refugees in exile. This trying time found Sullivan amidst a community of people forced to start over and rebuild their lives, among many young people whose parents had been either incarcerated or killed by the Burmese dictatorship.

"Many people picture needy, helpless people at the mention of refugee camps," said Sullivan. "People were forced out of their homes. These were cultured, educated people starting over. They weren't needy rather, they were people in crisis."

Thailand was a moving experience for Sullivan. He found it difficult to put into words its impression on him. "It's hard to say.. .Thailand reinforced my feeling that people have a responsibility to each other," said Sullivan. "In the camps, community was all they had. The bonds with other people held them together. No matter the hardships they went through, they kept going."

How did all these powerful experiences affect Mark Sullivan as a student, as the SGA president, as a person? "A lot of . . . it teaches you that you have to visibly stand up for what you believe in and fight for your cause," said Sullivan. "We shouldn't be sheltered as college students, as an American society. I come from a sheltered background too, but you have to realize that where we are today is a product of very powerful social forces. Sometimes we may not see it, but problems like socialism and racism still exist. We have to understand that there's a bigger world out there."

As SGA President, Sullivan went out of his way to relate to his peers. Aside from his warm, inviting

personality, his actions truly showed him to be a man of the people. He took time out of his busy schedule to attend several different organizational meetings each week in order to keep in touch with students and the events around campus.

"He's compassionate with those he works with, and he's sincere in all he does," said junior class treasurer Camp Rosenberger, who also worked with him through SGA. "He works well with the thought of the group as a whole, and is very dependable in all he does."

By showing strong commitment to his peers and hearing their concerns from their own turf, Sullivan earned the respect and trust of many fellow students. Lori Krizek, Chair of CCM's Respect Life Committee, worked with him in both Amnesty International and CCM. "He gives all of his heart to organizations he is a part of, and because of this they thrive," said Krizek.

"My hope is for people to be able to talk to me," said Sullivan. "I try to attend as many student meetings as I can." As a result, many individual students as well as organizations, clubs, and teams sought Sullivan to hear their concerns. "I listen. That's a part of my job."

Mark Sullivan genuinely fought to bring about positive change and foster community, both around and beyond campus. He was noble, yet humble, and exemplified leadership among his peers. By involving himself directly with his fellow students in everyday affairs, he earned their trust. Not everyone agreed with him, but it was difficult to find someone who did not respect him.

"I'm not here for myself. I know together we can get some really good things done here. I'm just here to help." THEEND

The Breeze wins an Award recognizing it as the top Non-Daily Student Paper in the Nation.

Room Gl in Anthony-Seeger was quiet on Wednesday afternoon. With the Thursday issue pretty much done, The Breeze staff was only making small changes. Sitting at their computer terminals, they proofread spreads and readied themselves for the next deadline. When a call came in from one of the photogra- phers and the staff learned that Wal-Mart was holding their photos hostage, M anageriaJ Editor Ali Manser handled the problem with ease. This was the portrait of a typical day at the university's well-run newspaper.

On October 28, 1999 in Columbus, Ohio, The Breeze staff members accepted the award for The Best AJl-Around Non-Daily Student Newspaper in the nation. The award was bestowed by the 1999 Society of Professional Journalists through their Mark of Excellence Program. "There were nearly 1,000 entries overall," commented Manser.

The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) was founded in 1909 under the name of Sigma Delta Chi. It grew to be the nation's largest and most broad- based journalism organization. SPJ dedicated itself to encouraging the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of ethical behavior. SPJ also worked to protect the First Amendment which guarantees free speech to all citizens through

en

promoting the free flow of information vital to a well-informed citizenry.

The competition rated papers throughout the region, including schools like Appalachian State, East Carolina University, George Washington University, Howard University, Shenandoah University, University of Maryland, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Virginia Tech, and Washington and Lee University. The best publications from each region then went on to compete with 12 other schools for the Mark of Excellence Award. Region Two winners were chosen from 184 entries in 25 categories for newspapers and magazines, online publications, photography and television broadcasts.

The Breeze staff was honored with several awards within the region such as second place in feature writing, first place in spot news photography and first place in photo illustration. Especially impressive were the results of the sports photography category where The Breeze photographers Dylan Boucherle and Katherine Wilson won the first, second and third place awards. In addition to their award, The Breeze also introduced a new magazine insert published once every three weeks entitled Turf, (continued on p. 152)

THE BES

(continued fiom p. 7.5/ J The magazine made its debut mi Monday, October 30 to mixed reviews. Some students were offended by its nonchalant attitude towards drinking and relationships between males and females. Most disturbing lor some was the highly suggestive cover that featured freshmen in the pool at Sunchase Apartments. Editor in Chief Gina Montefusco explained that although 7/«/was a separate publication, all decisions were made by Deborah Armusewicz, Alex Vessels, herself and the Turf editors. For some, the insert was a welcome change from The Breeze. "I liked Twf. It was different in comparison to the ads all over The Breeze" said senior Shelly Santos. "It may be slightly offensive, but it was funny. It was a parody of real life."

The Breeze served as the only official campus newspaper. Printed bi- weekly on Monday and Thursday, the paper ranged between 32 and 56 pages. The staff was divided into editorial, business, photo and graphics Starrs and consisted of around 250 people. The editorial section was further broken into news, sports, opinion,

style and focus sections. In addition, The Breeze employed a web staff After the paper had been sent to the printers, the second staff came in to upload The Breeze to its website at http://www.breeze. org. "Many people don't know that you can read it online before it's even printed," said Montefusco. The business staff sold and designed advertising, bringing in a large portion of the paper's funding from ad sales. The rest came from student fees dispersed by the Media Board, the supervising body of student media organizations.

Every contributing staff member was proud of their award and it sat in full-view of every desk. Whenever they needed extra motivation, staffers could look up and see what quality work had earned them. With this honor under their belt, the staff was ready to earn further awards. Montefusco said, "Throughout the year there will be five committees looking at our paper. We can't say we are going to sweep the awards, but we hope to make a good showing." THEEND

BYTEISHAGARRETT

In the early morning hours of November 8, weary students crowded around televisions in silence to hear newscasters like Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, and Peter Jennings utter the final results of Election 2000. Vice President AJ Gore, Texas Governor George W. Bush and third party candidates that included the Green Party's Ralph Nader and Reform Party Candidate Pat Buchanan, traded barbs for the better part of six months, each of them vying for the same prize: the chance to be leader of the free world.

Months of hard work for students involved in the election process culminated when the networks declared George W. Bush the presidential victor at 3:18 a.m. It also signified, what many thought, was the end of a long night for those wrapped up in election night fever. At 4 a.m., however, the networks retracted their earlier declaration and announced that a recount in Florida was expected. The election would soon be coined "Indecision 2000" as the closest presidential election in two decades dragged on for weeks while Florida recounted their ballots over and over again.

Closer to home, the election swept through the entire campus. Beginning in late October, it was impossible to pass by a light post or bulletin board without seeing fliers promoting the virtues of one party over another. State races were also highly visible with all 435 seats in Congress up for grabs. In Virginia, that meant there were 12 congressional races, as well as a barde for the Senate pitting two former governors head- to-head. Incumbent Sen. Chuck Robb and Former Gov. George Allen ran campaigns that focused on television ads bombarding viewers every day leading up

to the election. Sophomore, Republican Brian Johnston commented, "I am a wholehearted supporter of George Allen, but I was very ready for the campaign to end. It dominated everything! TV, newspapers, magazines - you couldn't get away from it."

Johnson volunteered with the local Republicans where he posted lawn signs, motivated supporters to vote and worked the polls on Election Day. "It was an amazing experience. I know that the person in office represents Virginia values and I helped put him there," said Johnson. Sen. Robb ran behind his opponent almost the entire campaign but began to move up in the polls in the final days. The race appeared tight, but on election night the voters' choice was clear and George Allen won the office with 52 percent of the vote.

The Presidential race was not such a clear call. Early in the evening, pundits and reporters on all the major networks and cable stations declared Gore the winner of Florida, a key state with 25 Electoral College votes. Bush supporters began to (continued on p. 156)

(continued from p. 155) began to worn' knowing there was little chance of Bush winning enough states to carry the election, later in (he evening, the pundits recanted their decision on Florida. CNN's Bernard Shaw broke the news to its viewers saying, "Florida is no longer in the victory column for Vice President Core. Were moving it back into the 'too close to call."' Bush supporters were ecstatic. "It gave lite back to our party," said Johnson.

As the night wore on, it became increasingly clear that the election would boil down to who took Florida. Soon after 3 a.m., the networks named Bush the country's 43rd president. "I was devastated," said Senior Kelly Clingempeel. Clingempeel, a Gore supporter, had voted by absentee ballot and encouraged all of her friends to do so. "I couldn't believe he [Bush] actually won. I don't ever think I thought it was a real possibility." Less than an hour later, however, the networks once again recanted their earlier declaration. For the next few hours, the candidates were separated by less than 100 votes. Election 2000 moved into its second day surprising those who had gone to bed early the night before, expecting to hear the results the following morning. Again, the public was fooled.

Lawyers and supporters of each candidate descended upon Florida to take up legal positions that would favor their client. The state held a recount and it seemed that Bush was clearly the victor but other circumstances soon made it impossible to give Bush all 25 Florida electoral votes. Gore supporters in Palm Beach County were convinced that they voted for Reform candidate Pat Buchanan because of a confusing ballot layout. But legal wrangling made it almost impossible to continue with the hand recounts that the Gore campaign had requested. A week-and-a-half later, there was no president elect and those who had been enthralled were quickly losing interest. "I think everyone knows that Gore won," said senior Issac King, "but I think everyone also knows that Bush will never let the truth be known. I hate to say it, but Gore should concede and then ready himself for 2004."

Aside from its unprecedented recount, Election 2000 raised several issues about the voting process. When it appeared that Bush had won the race by electoral votes even though Gore had won the popular vote, there was a public outcry. Voters argued that there was no longer a need for the Electoral College in an informed, technological society.

After more than a month of legal drama, America still did not know who their next president would be. THEEND

BYMANDIECOSTLEY

What did Survivor, Temptation Island, Real World, and Road Rules have in common? Besides being highly rated television shows, they were a vital part of college students' lives. It had been some time since there were any shows that had teenagers hooked. Remember the days of Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place*. Now, the same teenagers who grew up with such shows were grown up and television drama had changed with them. What was once melodramatic television based on perfect worlds like Full House and Saved by the Bell, was now based on reality.

The whole idea of reality-based television shows began with MTV's Real World in 1991 when the network picked "seven strangers to live in a house and have their lives taped," as the show's opening monologue stated each week. The success of the first show in New York City prompted MTV to continue the show, but in different cities like London, Boston, Seattle, Miami, Hawaii and New Orleans. The network also developed the reality-based Real World spin-off, Road Rules.

Reality-driven shows were all the craze around the world and the United States in the new millennium. The first to spark the interest of viewers and have them glued to their televisions once a week was Survivor. The show's premise: 16 castaways were stranded on an island off of Borneo in the Pacific Ocean. The ultimate goal was to "outwit, outplay, and outlast" the others on the island, translating to lying, manipulation and whatever means it took to win $1 milllion. throughout the course of immunity and challenges the emotional process of voting people off the island left viewers enthralled. Andi Levin, a self- proclaimed Survivor "addict," watched because of the "island concept and the fact that the castaways are actually working toward a goal." During the final weeks, native Virginian, Rudy Boesch, was one of the remaining survivors in which viewers watched and hoped for their favorite survivor CO take all. (continued on p. 160)

There was a certain fervor about TV sitcoms on campus.

STUDENTS REARRANGED THEIR SCHEDULES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DID NOT MISS AN EPISODE OF THEIR FAVORITE SHOWS.

(continued from p. 1 58) that Dirk was her favorite because she identified with him as a Christian. Rumors circulated about Jervis as the winner and that only drew more people into the madness. When the most two-faced survivor of them all, Richard, won the show, viewers were shocked. The first Survivor had barely left the airwaves when the hype of a second Survivor: Australian Outback started building.

After the success of Survivor, the other major networks developed several imitations. Big Brother was the next to air, proclaimed as the next big thing. It started out great, with controversial houseguests like former Black Panther Will Mega and Jordan, the stripper/tri-athlete. Shortly after these cast members were voted out, the show's popularity dwindled. By the end, viewers didn't even know who had won. Compared to Survivor, Big Brother was a huge disappointment.

In January, a more scandalous reality show aired, anticipated by students because of content that involved sex, scandal and relationships. Temptation Islands plot was simple: four couples made the ultimate decision to test their relationships' strength. To do this, they were sent to an island with 24 sexy singles. The object was for the singles to try their best to get in the middle oi the relationships and test the couples' commitment. Scandal struck, much like Big Brother, when a couple was kicked off the island for tailing to tell producers they had a child together.

Every Wednesday night freshman Becky Baines got together with six friends for a big Temptation Island party. "At first my friends and I watched it to make fun of it, but we ended up getting really into it. We placed bets on who was going to break up and who would stay together," she said. Many students watched because it was intriguing but most agreed they would

never put their relationship in the same position. Tempting fate may have been interesting to watch, but to be in the couple's shoes and have their lives ripped apart was a bit much. Avid tans simply liked the mayhem while others thought the show was silly and even cruel-hearted. "People who think it is cruel need to lighten up. After all, these people knew what they were getting into," said freshman Becky Baines. The show even caused couples on campus to argue about the situations and what they would do in their shoes.

Other shows that took students away from their busy schedules were Friends, Will and Grace, ER and daily soap opera dramas. Students who normally couldn't find a moment of free time in their schedules set aside an hour or two just to watch their favorite show, one that they couldn't miss. Junior Bridgett Johnson and her roommates had a "girls night in" each Thursday to watch Friends. Their routine included going to dinner at the Festival and then heading home to watch the show at 8:00 p.m. They regularly ate dinner each night around 7:00 p.m. so they could catch reruns of the show. "The old ones are always fun to watch over," said Johnson. She also had a philosophy that most students adopted when busy schedules, classes and group meetings interfered with television. "If we had to miss it, we'd tape it," she said. Will and Grace was also a popular show that had students neglecting their work for a solid 30 minutes each Thursday. Senior Katherine Julian was addicted to the show because of the characters. "Karen and Jack make the show hilarious," she said. Like many others, watching the show became a ritual for her. "My mom and I started watching it together and whenever I am home, we always have a TV date at 9 p.m. on Thursday nights." For her, as with many students, watching TV was how she relaxed. The stresses of class and work disappeared once the TV turned on. "I have always been a big TV fan and since Beverly Hills 90210 is no longer on the air, I have turned to Will and Grace as my new favorite show. It is the only show on TV that makes me laugh out loud for a solid half hour. It is 'Must See TV!'"

Television was an escape from the everyday hassles of college. Students found themselves scheduling time to watch their favorite shows and each of them had that one program they could never miss. Maybe shows were better, maybe our generation was one that was infatuated with television. Regardless of the reason, it was evident that the networks would continue to invent shows with addictive premises to keep luring the viewers in. theend

My roommates and I are especially addicted to Friends. We watch the reruns at 7p.m. and 1 1 p.m. On Thursday nights at 8, everyone who is home gathers on the couch to watch the new episodes.

BYCYPRIAN

Regardless of tradition or religious background, the winter holidays were always about giving. No matter the celebration, from Hannukah to Kwanzaa, the holidays long represented kindness and warmth, sharing and good will. A focus of seasonal giving has traditionally been about sharing not only with loved ones and colleagues, but also about giving to the less fortunate.

Embodying this spirit of selflessness, campus organizations took it upon themselves to help needy area families and bless their holidays with the gift of giving. Student Ambassadors, along with the University Program Board and the Residence Hall Association, ran their annual Operation Santa Claus toy drive for children in local foster homes.

For the first week of December, participants donned bright red "Operation Santa Claus" shirts and trekked around campus, handing out candy canes and flyers describing their cause. On December 4, they held a campus-wide parade. Ambassadors, dressed as Santa, his elves and his reindeer, marched from ISAT down to the Quad, chanting about the program to catch people's attention and direct it towards the cause.

While spreading their holiday spirit, they also promoted their event with the "Hug 'N Ho" method. Participants wore a Santa hat and, while hugging friends and "ho, ho, ho-ing," passed the hat on, telling the friend about the program. "It's a different way of promotion," said sophomore Student Ambassador Lisa Garten. "It's more random, and gets people involved in a new way." On December 5, Operation Santa Claus held its main event at Grafton-Stovall Theater, the second annual charity a cappella concert hosted by Exit 245 and the BluesTones, followed by a showing of Dr. Seuss' classic cartoon. How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Donations of a toy or $5 were collected at the entrance of the theater, (continued on p. 164)

(continued from p. 163) These toys were donated to the local Department of Social Services, which were then distributed to children in area foster homes. "It was a huge success," said senior Julie DeMeester, coordinator of Operation Santa Glaus. "We raised over $1600 die night of the event. Our goal was to collect about $15 per child, plus gifts. We met and surpassed that goal."

Operation Santa Claus touched students who noticed the eye-catching red shirts and became curious about the program. "People seem receptive," said Cotton. "They want to come help out for sure. JMU seems like a very giving community."

Theta Chi's mono included extending "a helping hand to all who seek it." The social fraternity introduced its 12 Days program, donating toys to the Salvation Army for underprivileged families throughout the county. Organized by senior Dave Rexrode, the project gave back to the community in the spirit of Christmas.

Their goal was to gather 1 000 toys over 1 2 days through donations and monetary contributions. "We well exceeded our goal," said senior Theta Chi brother Scott Pitts. "We passed the mark three days before the end of the drive and gathered over 1 500 toys and $ 1 500 by the time it was over."

Standing vigil in the middle of The Commons outside of D-Hall, a trailer decorated with Christmas lights and signs promoted the project. Donated by freshman pledge Josh Inkell's parents, the trailer became a visible manifestation of the 1 2-day commit- ment. Each of the brothers spent at least one night in the trailer and worked for two-hour shifts during the day. Every night, two people stayed on The Commons from 9 p.m. - 8 a.m.

Theta Chi invited student organizations, sororities, fraternities and residence halls to compete for a pizza and chicken wings party during finals week that was provided by local donors Domino's Pizza, Buffalo Wild Wings, Kmart, the Artful Dodger and James McHone Jewelers. For every toy or $5 donated, the group received one point. Delta Gamma won the contest for Greek Life organizations and Fredrickson Flail won for residence halls.

With the success of the project, the brothers of Theta Chi hoped to make 12 Days a continuing tradition. "This has been a tremendous success," said Pitts. "The local news has been covering us left and right. We're all very excited. We hope to continue in the future. It can only get better from here."

CCM, while celebrating its tradition of the Advent season leading up to Christmas, also gave back to the community by organizing a gift drive for underprivi- leged families. Coordinated by senior Jeff Sinnott, the project worked through the local Mercy House to collect gifts and distribute them December 9 at the annual Mercy House Christmas Party.

"We had a Christmas tree at the CCM House, with ornaments listing descriptions of the family members," said Sinnott. "Volunteers then bought gifts and brought them to the house. At the party, after eating and socializing for a bit, Santa came out and distributed the gifts."

During the parry, volunteers from CCM, as well as individual student community members from the university and Bridgewater, spread the holiday cheer to the families celebrating. Food for the supper was donated from Luigi's, Papa John's, and Mr. Gatti's.

After the meal, the group relaxed over some arts and crafts before senior Matt Stephan, special events chair for CCM, stopped by dressed as Santa Claus. He entertained the families and delightfully distributed the presents to the people gathered. This was a highlight for not only the families, but also the volunteers. "To see the kids' faces light up as Santa called their names and handed them their presents was just incredible," said Sinnott. "The kids were just so appreciative."

CCM's Mercy House Christmas Party had been a successful tradition long before any of the volunteers attended the university. Sinnott had been involved all four years of his college career, helping to promote the event by word-of-mouth and e-mail. It was clear the success of the event stemmed from the spirit of the gathering. "The whole experience was so amazing, so positive," said Sinnott. "There's nothing like seeing the whole community get together and giving to each other." theend

without it. You went to college, living out that dream but this time you were a "college athlete." Now what would you do if someone told you that you had to give up your dream? Freshman gymnast Erin Fitzgerald was faced with this very situation. She came to the university because it offered her a gymnastics program and a five-year IDLS program. What was supposed to be Erin's land or opportunity fell out from under her feet. "What am I suppose to do about next year? I still want to compete in gymnastics, but I also want to stay here at JMU," she said.

Stephen Reynolds, a male in the same situation, was a freshman on Syracuse University's men's team until it was cut from the schools' varsity sports program. After transferring to Harrisonburg, history repeated itself. The athletic department was faced with cutting eight varsity sports including men's wrestling, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, archery and women's gymnastics, archery and fencing.

The cutting of the eight sports teams could be traced back to the federal law called Title IX. On campus, women made up 57.8 percent of the undergraduate female ratio but only 42 percent of the varsity sports participants. Men made up 42 percent of the student population and 59 percent of student athletes. Under Title IX, recipients of federal funds were prohibited from discriminating on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities.

What appeared to be discrimination by the university under Title IX was nothing more than the percentage of female varsity athletes failing to match up proportionally to the percentage of the female student population. There were more females on campus than there were participating in varsity sports, thus the university did not meet the guidelines established under federal law. According to Title IX, "The intercollegiate athletic opportunities for male and female students are provided in numbers substantially proportionate to their respective enrollments..." In order to comply with this standard, the Centennial Sports (continued on p. 168)

(continued from p. 166) Committee proposed to cut the eight less profitable sports teams. The CSC was a group organized to study the makeup of the university's athletic program and to make recom- mendations concerning the program's direction.

The CSC was an outgrowth of a study made by the Centennial Commission composed of 70 members that President Linwood Rose appointed to make recommendations concerning the university's future direction. Rose asked the commission to give him a picture of what the university should look like in 2008, the university's 100th anniversary. The CSC's main responsibility was to make sure that the university was complying with Title IX. It also studied the long-term financial plans to make the sports program successful in the year 2008 and beyond. In December 1999. Dr. Rose charged the Centennial Sports Committee with the responsibility for "conducting a comprehensive analysis of JMU's intercollegiate sports program."

Once it became public that the status of eight university teams was in question, students refused to take the news lying down. They rallied and quickly formed a coalition of student athletes and other supporters dedicated to saving the eight teams. The organization was called SOS which stood for "Save Our Sports." SOS began their pursuit to stop the elimination of the teams by getting signatures of supporters, sitting on The Commons and marching into Godwin Hall where the Athletic Department was housed. Through massive campaign efforts, the group was very active and visible, sporting bright yellow SOS shirts to increase student awareness. The two most asked questions were "Why these teams, that have superior records and national rankings?" and "Why not teams that have not been so successful?" Wrestling had won the CAA title two years in a row, and the archery team had consistently placed in the national tournament. Sports administrators decided that the university could not afford to lose a sport that brought in a portion of much-needed revenue, hence, the high profit teams like football, basketball and baseball were left untouched. ■

A question and answer session was held in January to give student athletes the chance to have Athletic Director Jeff Bourne address their concerns and questions. Bourne sympathized with the students commenting that it was a "very trying, awkward,

and at times painful process to go through." Bourne cited that one of the reasons tor the cuts was the addition of the women's sottball team, previously a club team. A lawsuit was filed by a member of the club Softball team with the U.S. Department of Education, charging the university with discrimina- tion for failing to give the club team university- funded varsity status. Adding another women's sport and a new field to accompany the team left the CSC to consider cutting teams. With the university now under investigation of Title IX law, failure to comply would open the university up to lawsuits such as this and even a loss of funding.

Students had some insightful and valid concerns to raise during the forum, however the board members who would ultimately make the decision were not present. Andrew Lux, president of the Student Advisory Council and tennis player pleaded with Bourne to take the students concerns to the board. "I would ask you to please pass along to the board our desire to meet with them one-on-one on a personal basis." said Bourne that he was merely "a facilitator of information" between the board and the students and agreed to inform the committee of student concerns.

One outstanding speech was from Lauren Smith of the women's swim team (not one of the proposed sports to cut) who was there to voice her concern for not only men's swimming but all the teams. She asked if the university was planning to cut unpopular majors just as they were cutting the "less popular" or better-suited, non-revenue sports. Smith said that she came to this university as others did for a reason. She didn't choose Virginia Tech or UVA, she chose this university because of what it had to offer, not because of its football team. She heated things up adding that the university was "hiding behind numbers which is hurting our institution and the future." Other students asked "Why cut proven teams to add a team that has not done anything yet?" referring to the addition of women's softball and the fact that most of the teams to be cut were nationally ranked. One men's swimmer said, "Why not football? Where are they ranked? We are winning."

The most important statement by Bourne came when he was asked what he was personally doing to save university sports. He commented, "I am not a sports saver." Students seemed shocked by his statement because they looked to him for help as the athletic

director. If they could not rely on him, whom could they rely on? The atmosphere of the forum was heated and intense. Students demanded answers, however Bourne remained conservative and could not give definite answers.

CSC expected to make their decision in March but meanwhile students remained in limbo. Students red-shirted so they wouldn't lose a year of eligibility and some contemplated transferring, but without confirmation that their team was definitely cut, they were left to await the decision by the committee.

"NOW EVERYONE GOES OUT- It's LIKE TRADITION," SAID SENIOR, KlM

Pope. "It's what you do on Thursday nights."

BYYPRIANMENDELIUS

Every Thursday night over the course of the year, students fervently wrote essays and studied their textbooks intensely in preparation for their Friday morning classes. Actually, no they didn't. . Many a residence hall, apartment and living room couch remained empty on Thursday evenings as students flocked to area bars and parties to kick off the weekend early.

Why the trend for Thursdays? This social tradition had long kept the local bar and party scene thriving with droves of students. Most enjoyed spending as much time as possible with their friends and there were certainly a number of enjoyable places to go around town.

Yet the phenomenon of students going out en masse all on the same day seemed too uncanny to be coincidental. Many speculated the regular occurrence traced back to upperclassmen with no Friday classes. "I think it started with juniors and seniors going out to bars since they could," said senior Jason Carlton. "They were far enough into their major to not have any Friday classes and decided to start their weekend early." Since they were of legal age, they could go downtown to the bar of their choice, or just stay in and throw parties at their own place.

Seniors graduating took a little more time to relax and enjoy themselves the last few months of their college careers. Once Thursday became an established party night, underclassmen began to join their older peers by heading out to apartment or

house parties. With underclassmen expecting to find something to do regardless of Friday classes, the Thursday nightlife became a social norm. "I'm sure it started out with upperclassmen going to bars," said senior Kim Pope. "Now everyone goes out - it's like a tradition. It's what you do on Thursday nights."

Probably die most popular Thursday night activity was going out to the bar. Whether drinking alcohol or just enjoying the company of friends, most students found that the bars featured a fun atmosphere. Several students went to bars not to drink at all, but to eat chicken wings, play trivia, or watch televised sports at bars such as Buffalo Wild Wings, or BW3, as it was popularly called.

Opened only two years ago, BW3 quickly became one of the more popular student hang outs with lines were often wrapping around the corner. Senior Geoff Dahlem not only frequented the bar as a patron, but also worked as a doorman. "When I'm not working, I'm usually at BW3's," said Dahlem. "We used to go to Biltmore all the time. Now my friends like to go to Highlawn, but I prefer the scene at BW3's."

Thursday nights at Buffalo Wild Wings also boasted performances from local acoustic artist Kelly Mae Brown who drew quite a faithful crowd. "It's our busiest night," said Dahlem. "A lot of it has to do with Kelly Mae Brown. She's really got a loyal following. There's at least a dozen people who are there every single week just to see her play."

Many who enjoyed such laid-back atmospheres also preferred the environment {continued on p. 172)

LADIES' NIGHT STARTED at Highlawn Pavilion at 9 p.m., however no one showed up until 1 1 p.m. and that's when the lines started. People stood outside for hours waiting to get in. Some "clusters would get right in if they had a connection," stated senior Laura Clayton. Photo by Kirstin Reid

(continued from p. 170) at the Biltmore Grill. The bar at "the Biltmore" was another immensely popular Thursday night spot. Even with one of the larger dining rooms in the area, it stayed packed with lines waiting to get in.

Host to many Greek functions, the Biltmore often had a D.J. playing while students socialized. Senior Tri-Delta sister Lisa Ghidotti preferred the scene at the Biltmore to the other bars. "Sometimes we go to Highlawn, but most of the time I don't like to get dressed up," she said. "I like to go to the Biltmore because its so low-key. You can meet up with a group of friends, get a few pitchers, kick back and just have a good time."

Those who had more energy and looked for a faster-paced evening made their way to Highlawn Pavilion. Loud music and an intense dance floor kept the bar packed and the lines outside long. Most came to dance the night away and rub elbows with a livelier crowd than at the other bars in town. "Sometimes we dance a little bit, and sometimes we just find a spot by the bar and hang out," said senior Andrew Tufts. "It depends on who we're with and who we see there. It gets really crowded and the music's ridiculously loud, but my friends like it."

Of course not everyone just stayed at one establishment. Several students hopped from bar to bar, thanks to loyal designated drivers or the local taxi cab service. Many liked diversity, and going to a few different places allowed students to meet up with several different groups of friends.

Bars were not the only Thursday night option.

NIGHT LIFE

Underclassmen and their of-age peers alike celebrated the start of the weekend at parties throughout the area. Those who looked for variety sometimes made stops at parties after visiting the bars. "We never stay at one place," said Ghidotti. "Sometimes we'll meet up at Biltmore and then go to a mixer, or some- times we'll go out to a party at someone's apartment and make it back to the bar for final call."

Some preferred the smaller, more relaxed atmosphere of house parties, while other parties proved to be wilder than any of the bars. Senior Beth Thomas had several parties at her apartment in the Commons. "We had a party right before Christmas sophomore year when we lived in Fredrickson," said Thomas. "Ever since then we've been celebrating our annual suite party, in addition to the others."

Thursday night parties tended to be smaller and did not feature the droves of random party- hoppers that weekend parties usually had. "More of our friends can make it, and more show up," said Thomas. "Not as many underclassmen that we don't know show up, so it's less crowded. We don't even throw parties on Friday or Saturday."

With so many different options, students had no excuse for staying in on Thursday nights. Whether they wanted to drink and dance, or just hang out and chat, they had places to go. Whether they were 21 -year-old seniors with few classes and apartments of their own or 18-year-old freshmen with 8 a.m. Friday courses living on campus, everyone could participate in the Thursday night tradition.

BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS

Seventy-two years ago, on January 1 5, 1929, one of America's most valiant heroes was born, destined to teach a nation to embrace light and love and to let go of darkness and hate. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., civil rights' foremost champion, empowered a generation to speak up for what they believed in regardless of the consequences. Sadly, his life was abruptly brought to a tragic end by James Earl Ray on April 4, 1968.

Thirty-three years later, his message and his contributions live on. On January 1 5, the community celebrated a triumph of faith in this great man's legacy. Although the Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Committee had been actively celebrating his memory for 14 years, this was the first year that the university observed the holiday and cancelled all classes for the day.

Bringing the holiday into realization resulted from a culmination of efforts. Campus groups such as the Black Greek Caucus, the Asian Student Union, Students for Minority Outreach, and the NAACP had been rallying support for years. At President Rose's inauguration, members of these and other campus groups protested to demonstrate the need and cause lor the holiday.

Students of all races sought the help of the Student Government Association (SGA) for a change. The SGA submitted a bill three years ago that was turned down, but kept fighting until the Executive Council granted a half-day of classes last year. Later, a full day off was granted by a proposal to the University Council by Mark Warner, vice president of Student Affairs. Thus the 14th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration, whose theme was "Remember, Celebrate, Act - A Day On ... Not A Day Off," became the historical, first- ever observance of the holiday.

Kicking off the schedule of events sponsored by the Center for Multicultural/International Student Services (CMISS) was the Peace March, immediately followed by a Speak-Out, on January 1 1 . The following night, a MLK Scholarship Party was held at the College Center in conjunction with Phi Beta Sigma. Over the weekend, Taylor Down Under hosted "Reflection Nite," an evening of poetry readings with free pool and refreshments, co-sponsored by the University Program Board (UPB). A performance by the Inspira- tional Ensemble and a speaker from Regents University, in conjunction with Delta Sigma Theta, was held in Taylor Hall the following day. On the actual holiday, the Center for Leadership Services and Transitions as well as the Black Student Alliance, helped co-sponsor the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration at Wilson Hall.

Zebulun Davenport, director of CMISS, was just one of many proud community members who helped bring the holiday to fruition. "It's a victory and a milestone," said Davenport. "It makes me glad to be part of an institution that is changing and beginning to accept diversity." Davenport was optimistic for the future as a result of the decision. "It feels good to know that when my children's children, and all their fellow students, come to this university, they will benefit from the diversity that came from systematic changes."

Manifesting the efforts to win observance of the holiday, the Peace March became a walking symbol of civil rights as it proceeded through campus. The march commemorating Dr. King began in front of Zane Showker Hall and ended at Grafton-Stovall Theatre, where participants shared their reactions to King, the holiday, and the march at the Speak-Out. Students and faculty of all races, led by brothers of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, moved up Bluestone Drive with participants chanting and cheering the memory of Dr. King while singing hymns and songs of religious praise. The Contemporary Gospel Singers led the participants in song. More students joined, linking hands and singing with the participants, as the march continued behind Wilson Hall and through The Commons before heading into Grafton-Stovall.

At the Speak-Out, students expressed their feelings on Dr. King's legacy. Sophomore Philip Duhart, Peace March/Speak- Out co-chair of the MLK Committee, began with describing the significance of the celebration honoring Dr. King's birthday. "Our purpose here is to keep it going in the new millennium," said Duhart.

After reading an excerpt from Dr. King's speech, "Where Do We Go From Here,' audience members were invited to step up to the microphone and share their thoughts. Junior Jamie Fleece was one of many who instructed her peers on Dr. King's message today. "Remember what brought us here," said Fleece. "Make it so the next generation will not have to do as much as we did."

Stacy Edwards, assistant director of CMISS, asked the audience to call out names of people who had influenced them or affected them (continued on p. 179)

(continued from p. 176) personally. Among the names mentioned were Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Arthur Ashe.

Before the close of the Speak-Out, the Contem- porary Gospel Singers performed a moving set of songs. Inviting the audience to sing along, the choirs resonating voices left many with tears in their eyes after the emotional comments made by the audience. Natasha Dumerville, Peace March/Speak-Out co-chair of the MLK Committee, concluded the evening, encouraging everyone to keep Dr. Kings legacy in their hearts every day of the year.

Marching through campus was a profound statement and experience for many. "It showed that Dr. King was more than just a civil rights leader for the brotherhood or all humanity. When we celebrate his life, we come together as human beings and celebrate our common bonds. We take a look at what we can do to improve the human condition as a whole."

Senior Liz Cox also felt strongly about the significance of the march. "Everyone should have gone," said Cox. "It would have made a statement to the administration that they did the right thing." Like most or her peers, she was grateful for the observance or the holiday. "I just hope people took the time to think about why we had the day off and appreciate it."

On the night of Dr. King's birthday, the incredible celebration in Wilson Hall left an impression on everyone in attendance. While visitors found their way to their seats, the quartet composed of students Natasha Burke, David Peoples, Kate Preston, and Stephen Mattie played a musical interlude on their violins. To open the event, James Turnage sang a medley of civil rights anthems to the packed house. Moved so passionately by his strong voice, halfway through his rendition of "We Shall Over- come," the audience stood up in reverence. Zephia Bryant, assistant director for CMISS, made the opening remarks and introduced Mistress of Ceremonies Tansy Ephriam. After a few introductory comments, Ephriam invited Dr. Linwood Rose to make the official welcome. Rich Harris, assistant director of Community Service Learning, read the invocation before the Contemporary Gospel Singers' perfor- mance. As the audience rose to their feet once again, student Dave Sessa read the spiritual litany of commemoration. Afterwards, Lamont Finn, president ol the Black

Student Alliance, introduced the guest speaker, Derrick will

Bell, acclaimed author and professor. Bell had taught at Harvard Law School, been the dean of the University of Oregon Law School, and most recently became a visiting professor at New York University Law School. He wrote many books and scholarly writings, placing him in the forefront of Critical Race Theory.

During his moving speech, he spoke about the importance of Dr. King's message for all people and the struggle and perseverance of African-Americans in an allegory of "Space Trade" from one of his books, Race, Racism, and America, which had become a standard law text. "Blacks can either sit there, or they can act on beliefs like King's and fight for what they believe in, even if results aren't guaranteed," said Bell. As he spoke, the Inspirational Ensemble sang pieces to accompany his words and increase the impact of his speech.

Community Outreach Committee members Ketia Stokes and Isiah Smith presented the awards to the four area middle school children who won the MLK Essay Contest. Also awarded was the MLK Community Service Award, granted to Zebulun Davenport.

To close the celebration, a candle lighting ceremony was held. Program Committee members Dana Broadnax and Tyson Brown invited members ol the audience to come forward and light candles in remembrance of Dr. King. While the candles were being lit, the audience listened solemnly to excerpts of Dr. King's final speech playing in the background.

Stacy Edwards, assistant director of CMISS, made the closing remarks, thanking and congratulating everyone involved in the process of winning observance of the holiday. Reverend Terrence Thomas of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church concluded the ceremony with a benediction prayer.

The celebration, and the weekend as a whole, left many of its participants touched. "I'm very pleased," said Davenport. "The weekend was a success. People who saw the march or came to the celebration, whether they wanted to or not, they were exposed to something that made them think and reflect, and that's what it's all about."

Many students in attendance were moved by the ceremony. "There's so much to take away from this," said sophomore Laura Tashjian. "It was so amazing for so many reasons. Bell's words and Dr. King's message are things we should incorporate into our everyday lives."

As the masses left the auditorium, a sense of Dr. King's significance and legacy, as well as of the university's milestone observance remained as the candles continued to burn into the night. "It was overwhelming," said Fleece. "I'm truly proud. We've left something that will carry on as a tradition." theend

"I try to encourage thought and ideas," said Zebulun Davenport, when asked what his job entailed. "I try to grow people, whether faculty or students, and allow them to be the catalysts for change."

Who was Zebulun Davenport? To many, he was much more than just the director of the Center for Multicultural and International Student Services (CMISS). Zebulun Davenport, whose name had Biblical roots as one of the 12 tribes of Israel, was a leader, a guardian and a friend to all whom he encountered. Not only was he recognized for his compassion and caring with an array of awards, but he also earned the respect and esteem of the community, students and faculty alike.

Coming a long way from humble beginnings helped create Davenport's strong character. Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Winchester, Va., he helped support his parents, three brothers, and one sister in his youth after his hard-working father retired early due to health problems. Working several jobs to try to provide a comfortable living for his family, Davenport's father instilled in him a perseverant work ethic and a selfless heart that would stay with him through adulthood.

After graduating from high school, Davenport came to the university to earn his bachelor's degree and graduated in 1989. Unsatisfied with his work and the direction it was taking, he decided to return to the university for a graduate studies program. "I knew I wasn't happy working as a manager in a finance company," Davenport said. "I knew I wanted to be working with people, helping people."

Lending a hand had always been instinctual to Davenport. His secretary, LaRue Simmons, saw this firsthand. "One cold winter day he came in and told

me how he saw a teenager standing at a bus stop shivering, with his arms inside the sleeves ot his shirt," said Simmons. "So the next time he saw the young man, he went over and gave him a coat. I told him, 'Zeb, there are a lot of things that are second nature to you, that most people would never think of, things that they really treasure.'"

Ironically, the CMISS director never had any contact with CMISS until he tried to get into graduate school. When he called CMISS, he was offered a recently open position as a graduate assistant. The stars were all in place for Davenport. He called on a Wednesday, accepted the position and quit his job on Friday, found an apartment in Harrisonburg on Saturday, moved in on Sunday and started class and work on Monday, just a week into the semester. "All I had was my little white Ford Escort and a little bit of money in the bank," said Davenport. "From that Wednesday on, I've never looked back."

Graduating in 1992, Davenport accepted the position of director of CMISS in October of 1997, two weeks before his wedding. He moved back to Harrisonburg to start work exactly one month after his wedding. "I came to do my job," he said. "I try to interact with people."

As CMISS director, he supervised an office dealing with leadership, international issues, and recruitment and retention. He directed lecture series and the Transition program, a summer college preparation program lor incoming freshmen minority students that allowed them to earn up to six credits towards graduation. "I loved Transition," said freshman Alana Hughes. "He was very open and easy to talk to. He truly cared about us all, and made the experience all the better."

In addition to helping organize various events on campus, he also taught a graduate course, Professional Issues in Higher Education. Last year, he took on another (continued on p. 185)

(continued from p. 182) responsibility as an administrator, becoming the Assistant to the Vice President of Student Affairs, Mark Warner.

"Nobody says as a child, 'I want to grow up to be a student affairs professional, " Davenport said. "People always told me they could see me as an actor or a comedic personality. But I sat there and asked myself, 'What would I do in lite lor free?' I would reach out to people and speak to them. I would try to help. I like to think that's part ot my nature."

Outside the university community, Davenport toured the entire country speaking to CEOs, managers and their employees as well as students and teachers. He led various leadership workshops and diversity training sessions and gave lectures on a variety of motivational self-help topics. Locally, he volunteered his time at the Boys and Girls Club and spoke to the youth there on several occasions. Giving back to his home community, he worked at the high school with "at-risk" students to help them through their situations.

His biggest service challenge was within the walls of his own home, as he took on the responsibility of raising his 14-year-old nephew. This was also his favorite role. "It's an absolute joy for me to be able to raise him and try to provide him with guidance," he said. "That involves me with all that he does, from schoolwork to basketball. I love being able to take part in the little things."

All of his dedication and effort to encourage and empower individuals and communities nationwide earned him acclaim from several local and national organizations. He was honored with awards from groups ranging from the Virginia Association of Student Personnel Administrators to the NAACP. The NAACP awarded Davenport the 2000 Outstanding

Faculty Member Award at the Image Awards and the JMU Office of Admissions recognized him with the Madison Best Award for Diversity Leadership. In 2001, he earned two Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Service Awards; he was recognized tor Outstanding Contributions to the Shenandoah Valley as well as Outstanding Contributions to College and Community.

"I think that the most important thing is to have faith, in whatever God you believe in, and then to have faith in your family," said Davenport. "I think that a great part of my success is contributing all to God and my beautiful wife and extended family."

Zebulun Davenport was a man with a mission. "He's always been really enthusiastic about everything," said Hughes. "He really cares about us all. Mr. Davenport has a personality very helpful to our community."

Yet his humility made it difficult for him to define his own opinion on that mission. "I would like to think that I was put here to help enlighten and encourage others," he said. "Not by any great act, but just simply by hopefully being a good person."

Many who met him and had to move on with their journeys remembered him sincerely. "I'll always remember him as a very inspirational person," said senior Lamont Finn, president of the Black Student Alliance. "Whatever situation I've been in, he always tried to find the light. He's always been willing to help anyone who comes to him."

How would he like to be remembered? "How I would like to be remembered would be just as my father is remembered in my community," said Davenport. "Everybody knew and respected him. Nobody ever had an unkind word to say about him. That's how I'd like to be remembered." THEEND

The College ot Arts and Letters ottered a wide selection of majors in social sciences, humanities, communica tions and arts, as well as pre-professional programs such as pre-law and pre-theology. In addition to these majors were wide varieties of minors, general education courses, media and art productions, performances and exhibits. With the long list of opportunities and credits it would seem that this college had been in existence for quite some time. However it was a fairly new addition to the university.

The College ot Arts and Letters was established on January 13, 1995, as the result ot the combination of two previous institutions, the College of Letters and Sciences and the College of Communications and Arts. The original six departments from the College of Letters and Sciences merged with five schools from the Communications and Arts College to form the vast institution that came about.

The joint efforts of both previous schools helped to expand the program and otter more opportunities to students. Under the leadership ot Dr. Richard F. Whitman, the first and current dean of the college, two extra advantageous programs were added. Within the first tew years, the Institute of Technical and Scientific Communications and the Writing Program were included under Arts and Letters. The responsibilities of the college began to grow even more as it started to oversee the production of WMRA and WXJM, both campus-run radio stations.

Masterpiece Season was also a program under the college, responsible for many productions in music, theater, dance and art exhibits. Today the college consists of six departments: English, Foreign Languages and Literatures, History, Philosophy and Religion, Sociology and Anthropology and Political Science. Under these departments there were also five schools: Media Arts and Design, Music, Theater and Dance, and Speech Communication.

Assistant Deans Dr. David K. Jeffrey and Dr. Marilou M. Johnson, and 230 faculty members working under the College of Arts and Letters taught the courses that made up about 45 percent oi university credit hours. There was also approximately

40 percent of the student population enrolled in some type of program under this collegiate division.

The mission of the college was threefold. First, the college worked to promote a strong academic curriculum that would continue to receive national accreditation. Second, the college worked to support die general education program through challeng- ing course work thereby encouraging liberal learning. Third, there was a very strong effort to build an appreciation of Ameri- can cultural diversity and global awareness, two characteristics necessary to survive in the new millennium. Another main goal of the college was to provide hands-on learning experience. This was made possible through research projects, study abroad, internships and field courses.

Like the rest of the university, the College of Arts and Letters expected to undergo exciting and new changes within the next decade. Bluestone buildings were being carefully analyzed to see how they could be renovated to add to the changing technology and programs.

The actual schools under the college were also going to experience changes by expanding the School ot Art and Art History and upgrading the Theater and Dance Facilities. Plans for Harrison Hall where the college offices were located, would also be renovated. According to Dr. Whitman, there were future hopes for Harrison Hall to be constructed into a communications complex for the schools of Speech Communication and Media Arts and Design. The Institute of Technical and Scientific Communication and the Writing Program would also be able to use the facilities.

In only eight short years of existence, the College of Arts and Letters worked hard to establish a very positive and commend- able reputation for the university. Even with a long list of achieve- ments, the college continued to expand and change everyday. With the advancements and renovations in the works, it was certain that there would continue to be endless opportunities in store for the university, the end

DIRECTOR OF ZIRKLE HOUSE, VALERIE Smith shares a laugh with Assistant Director Katherine Mason. Together they managed the responsibilities of the student art gallery.Photo by Kirsten Nordt

As an Art Education major, Valerie Smith had a tremendous interest in the art world. Her involvement with Zirkle House, the student run art gallery on Main Street across from the quad, begati in 1999 after spending a semester abroad in Italy. At the suggestion of her friend and current Zirkle House director at the time. Smith became a gallery assistant for two semesters and assistant director for one before eventually taking the position of director. "The gallery assistants maintain the gallery daily," she said, "they sit at the front desk, help hang the shows and keep the gallery running."

Zirkle House was created 25 years ago and had been an excellent source of culture for the university and the Harrisonburg community at large. As director ol Zirkle House, Smith was involved in all the decisions and actions for the semester, which included choosing people who would have a show. "It's very impartial," she said. "The top scoring artists get a show." Smith felt that being the director of Zirkle House was a rewarding experience. It gave her the chance to take on a big responsibility and run with it. The artists involved in a show at Zirkle House earned the experience of putting something professional together while becoming familiar with gallery work.

Apart from being involved with Zirkle House, Smith led a very interesting life. Last spring, her friend Christina cut her hair off for cancer patients through a program called Locks for Love which typically asked for a donor to cut off 10 inches for a full wig. Smith was moved by her friend's gesture and felt compelled to do the same, donating 23 inches."I knew my hair would grow back. That's the point," she said.

Yet another interesting fact about Smith was that she paid for her college education, working as a waitress at Luigi's in downtown Harrisonburg and making up the difference in scholarships, loans, and federal aid. Smith was lucky enough to receive the Anna McCarthy Teaching Scholarship that was offered to aspiring teachers. The scholarship money was enough to pay for her tuition, but she still had to take out loans for her rent, books, and other necessities. With work and school consuming most of her time. Smith hardly ever took more than 1 5 credit hours a semester. During her student teaching, she had to work less, causing her to take out more loans.

As a fifth year senior, an aspiring teacher, and a fascinating artist. Smith was definitely a dedicated student willing to work hard for what she wanted. THE END

-Zirkle House is a wonderful why for students and

DR. COHEN ADMIRES HIS MINIATURE model of the Globe Theater. Cohen planned to build a replica of the Globe in Staunton, to be opened in 2005. Photo by Terrence Nowlin

As a 27-year veteran professor of the English department at the university, Dr. Ralph Cohen taught everything from Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies to film classes and Renaissance drama. During his career, he also collaborated with Dr. Marina Favila, presenting research papers at the Modern Language Association. Dr. Cohen's main interest of late, however, was the construction of the Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, Virginia, a recon- struction of Shakespeare's indoor theater in England expected to open in the fall of 2001. "I'm hoping to make Staunton the Shakespeare center of Virginia and Virginia the Shakespeare center of America," Dr. Cohen said. He hoped to follow this ambitious undertaking by building a replica of the Globe Theater within the next few years as well.

Dr. Cohen was also the founder of the Shenandoah Shakespeare Express (SSE), a touring acting troupe that performed the works of Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson. Dr. Cohen started the SSE with a former student in 1988 and saw the company prosper as the years went by. The company was touted as "the most active touring Shakespeare company in the world with two troupes doing seven different plays" and was the only Shakespearean company in North America to produce Shakespeare's play in authentic Elizabethan theaters. To make the production true to the Elizabethan style, the house lights were left on to simulate daylight, since Shakespeare's plays were performed during the day. The SSE consisted of 125

year-round employees with a total annual audience attendance of 364,000. Impressively, the percentage of Americans who traveled over 200 miles to see the SSE perform was well over 80 percent.

The Blackfriars Playhouse had been Dr. Cohen's main focus, receiving special permission from President Rose to take a year's leave to construct the theater. The playhouse was the only reproduction of Shakespeare's indoor theater in the world and would feature tours with actors performing highlights from Shakespeare's plays. The theater was expected to be open 363 days a year.

Dr. Cohen was a phenomenal teacher and mentor. Apart from teaching tor 27 years, he also directed 12 professional productions of Shakespeare's plays and produced America's first professional rendition of Francis Beaumont's 1607 "Knight of the Burning Pestle." He also directed Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus" with the SSE and co-directed "Twelfth Night. Dr. Cohen received several awards for his achievements. He was one of the first recipients of Virginia's Outstanding Faculty Award and in 1998, Georgetown University offered him an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters for his work with the SSE. He was also the university's teacher of the year and scholar of the year. His biggest hope was that his accomplishments would leave a lasting impression on the university and surround- ing community. "I hope that alumni of the university will look at the SSE and the theater as a product of JMU, come see them perform, and feel proud." theEND

At Spotswood Elementary, 25 university art students met to work on a temporary mural to brighten the atmosphere during a four-month period of remodeling. With the guidance of Kelly Kerr, a graduate student and the teacher of 2-D design, and Kim Joyce, the PTA cultural arts coordinator at Spotswood, the mural was painted over the course of two class periods totaling five hours. "The best part of the mural was the idea that the university students worked within the community to help inspire creativity. One cannot forget how important the creative process is in thinking," said Kerr.

The challenge for these non-art majors was to create a mural using a unconventional style of making simple shapes into a landscape while also incorporat- ing the school's theme into the project. "I think that not just having one person paint the whole mural really allowed for everyone's styles to shine through,'' said senior Tia Scott.

The class was split into four groups, each of them given the task to create a proposal for the space and then present the idea to the class. AJ1 four concepts were utilized to create the landscape for the temporary wall. "For my group's proposal we chose to incorporate Candyland with the school's mascot, the knight of the golden horseshoe," said junior Lisa Rogers. The

ideas that were proposed and incorporated together were the enchanted forest, 2-D lettering and a classroom scene peeling back into a playground and basic shapes and numbers.

With the approval from the Spotswood Elementary Principal Steve Jackson, the class met at the school to begin sketching and painting the mural. "It was a little intimidating at first because we didn't have an exact plan. However, once we assigned jobs things started to fall into place," said junior Allison Miracco. The class was divided into their original groups in order to sketch their contributions for the wall. The rest of the mural was painted according to section, which allowed many (if not all) of the students to paint at the same time. "The fact that we were unorga- nized was a plus, because we were then able to do our own thing, right off the top of our heads. I think that it really made the mural that much better," said Scott.

In order to complete the mural in two class periods, their was a great deal of planning to be done by the students from the university. Students had to get from their classes to the local elementary school quickly in order to get the full two-and-half hours. "At first I felt very rushed and didn't see us completing the mural within our allotted time," (continued on p. 206)

"One cannot forget how import (tut the creative process is in t/iiiiki/iQ-. "

(continued from p. 205) said senior Laura Greco. They also had to work in the lobby ot the building where many children and teachers of Spotswood would pass by, making it difficult to keep on task. "When it was time for the half day kindergarteners to go home, they walked by the mural and one of the little boys stopped and stared," said junior Allison Miracco. "He commented to his friend about what a good job he thought the college kids were doing and how cool the wall looked. It really made me feel like I was helping to brighen the children's school and broaden their imaginations."

The space that the 2-D design class had to paint was approximately 1 0 x 24 feet. Several physical obstacles had to be overcome such as piping near the ceiling and a door to the construction area in the middle of the wall. With careful planning, the door became part ot the mural without hampering the students proposed drawing. The class also had to stay within their budget and stretch the paint as far as it could go and make the brushes last. Participants agreed their biggest obstacle was the challenge to make the mural non-racial. To help them out, the principal suggested they make the kids in the mural primary colors so as not to offend anyone.

Kelly Kerr took care of buying all of the supplies and borrowing from the Spotswood art department. She also surprised the class with candy to boost their moral and to congratulate them on their teamwork and their end product. "We were all getting frustrated with the mural but when Kelly showed up with candy it gave everyone a break and some more energy to

get the job done," said Scott.

As their second and final project day came to a close, the students frantically painted the finishing touches while trying not to drip paint on others working beside them. The mural was designed to be interactive with a blackboard in the center where 2-D students signed their names. "I never knew that there was actually paint that would create a chalkboard surface and even after I saw the can, I didn't really think it was going to work just like a chalkboard and was amazed when it did," said senior Karl Channell. "It was a really good idea, so that the mural could become interactive and not just something that some college kids did."

When it was completed, the class took a step back and realized what a wonderful job they had done and how they had contributed to the children's lives with a few cans of paint. "The mural was a brilliant idea and a great opportunity for all of us non-art majors. The school was really drab before and the mural in the front hallway really brightened things up and made the kids excited about going to school. But the best part of all was that it was our idea and our hard work that made everything happen," said Channell.

Two weeks after the mural was completed, the class received a letter from the principal of Spotswood thanking them and praising them on a wonderful job. "I already felt good about painting the mural and how it enhanced the children's lives, but when we got the letter, it really hit me what we had done and how much we had actually given back to the commu- nity," said Rogers, theend

^ROOM

Modular Building

n„rrfach Center For Shena"*

Tucked away in the woods between the Convocation Center and UREC, the Modulat building became the new home for the School of Media Arts and Design. Before SMAD made the move, it was crammed into Anthony-Seeger. "The Breeze had more square footage than we had in Anthony-Seeger," said Dr. George Johnson, the director of SMAD. "Consequently, we were very compressed and jammed into so many spaces. I'm now surprised that we were able to do anything at all." SMAD picked up and moved across the interstate during the summer of 2000 and was ready to go by the end of August. Former occupants like the Health Sciences department moved to the new ISAT building, therefore freeing up the space for SMAD. The danger of getting across Main Street to Anthony-Seeger was another reason for the move, a decision made by President Linwood Rose and an executive council.

Even though long-term plans called for the program to occupy the Modular building for only three to five years, everyone seemed to be pleased with the move. Not only did the new facility offer more space but also for the first time, all of the faculty members and most of the staff were located in the same building. "The faculty have lor the first time the ability to freely interact with one another and it creates great

synergy for us," commented Johnson.

The Modular building was also much newer and in better shape than Anthony-Seeger. "We have our own space without having to share places," said Professor Roger Soenksen. Professor Alan Neckowitz seemed to be in concordance with Soenksen. "There are enough classrooms to hold programs in a meaningful way, and they are good classrooms for the kind of classes we teach," he said. "As a transition building, it's quite adequate."

Students seemed to express the same opinions as the faculty about the move. Junior SMAD major Jennifer Hawkins liked the fact that more parking was available and that she didn't have to cross Main Street any more. "Plus the bathrooms are more modern and there are brand new G4 computer labs in the Modular," she said.

Junior Megan McDermott commented on the convenience of the building. "It has been more convenient to get to than Anthony-Seeger because I live in Sunchase, but I feel like I am missing out on the college atmosphere that exists around the Quad," she said.

Overall, most seemed to be content with the move. Plus, the location was temporary and SMAD would soon be on the move again. THEEND

Confident, funny and censored. Those were three words Matt Duff, graduate of the university and codirector of JMtv, used to describe himself JMtv, the university's student-run television show, aired as part of a SMAD television practicum class. Each semester, students involved in the practicum collaborated with one another to produce shows that aired on cable network channel 4.

Duff who graduated in December 2000, had worked on the show for three semesters. "It was probably the most beneficial part of JMU for me," Duff said, "I got to know to know how you can create a TV show from preproduction to post. I've always loved TV and I knew I would start my career in it."

Duff became involved with JMtv his junior year. He co-hosted the show, which he admitted was a fun experience, but felt that there was something lacking. "I co-hosted with Lindsey Czarniak and we had a good time together, but the format wasn't really there. It was too 'Regis & Kathie Lee.'"

During his second semester with JMtv, Duff decided he wanted to try and change the show's format, so he began to explore what took place on the other side of the camera. "I didn't want to pursue hosting anymore because it's hard to keep the energy from show to show with this kind of student production," Duff said. "So, the second semester I alternated as both co-director and technical director of JMtv. I also produced a couple of my own comedy segments for the show which I had a great time with."

Although Duff enjoyed producing and starring

in his own segments, there was some material that he wasn't allowed to use. "I didn't have any motivation to do any [comedy segments] for the last two shows," he said. "The producers and the administration were censoring the segments. I was just trying to play to a college audience. I think they can handle the humor, but some felt it was too racy to be on a college TV station. I thought it was funny as hell and I know others did too. That's why I feel in the future a network like HBO would be the best place for me."

Duff began his efforts to start a career with such networks by assembling a resume tape that consisted of a sitcom pilot, a sketch comedy show and some comedy shorts. "I will be probably working harder this semester than ever. The resume tape will be finished in early May, giving me 4-6 weeks to send it everywhere," said Duff.

When Duff said everywhere, he meant networks that didn't tend to censor their content like college campuses. "I would love to come up with programming for HBO since you can do just about anything and get away with it," Duff said. "I've been censored since high school. I constantly feel that I need to push the envelope."

■ Despite having some creative differences with the show's producers at times, Duff wanted to continue to devote as much time as he could to JMtv. While his help may have been minimal due to the time he had to put into the production of his resume tape, his influence and ideas were sure to surface on future episodes of JMtv. END

SENIOR KEVIN GAUTHIER REVIEWS the nature of mathematics, MATH 1 03. Gauthier suspected he would have to take a GenEd class his senior year, but did not realize how hard the class would be.Photo byKirsten Nordt

The Class of 2001 was the first class to graduate from JMU under the General Education program. The goal of GenEd was to give students a solid foundation in liberal arts on which they could build their college careers. However, in their final months of college, many seniors found themselves sitting next to freshmen when they discovered they still needed to fulfill GenEd requirements or elective credits.

Kevin Gauthier, a SMAD major, waited until his senior year to take his only required math class. Gauthier had spent most of his college career taking classes related to his major and felt annoyed when he realized he needed to take the class in order to graduate. Gauthier said, "Em a SMAD major, a graphic designer. Why do I need to take a basic math class?" Gauthier decided to take Math 103, The Nature of Mathematics, because it was the lowest-level class he could take to satisfy the General Education requirement. However, Gauthier soon discovered that lower-level classes don't always mean easy A's. "You think, 'Math 103, how easy can it get,' but that was the most difficult class I've ever taken." While the class was comprised mostly of freshmen, Gauthier formed a bond with the handful of seniors in the class. "We hung out in the back [and] we all complained about it." Gauthier felt that underclassmen took the class more seriously, while fellow seniors were just trying to fulfill graduation requirements. "Our philosophy was, [the grade] 'D' is for Diploma."

While some seniors dreaded taking required GenEd classes, others saw it as an opportunity to take other courses that they were interested in.

Amanda Frazier, an English major, took GKIN 100, the Walk/log class, her last semester at the university.

"/ saw students wearing '( lass of

2000' shirts and knew that they just graduated

was getting ready to graduate

"I needed another three credit hours and I hadn't had a PE. class since high school and 1 thought it would be a good thing to do for myself," she said. While Frazier enjoyed the course, she felt a little out of place when she first arrived in class. "I'm pretty sure I was the oldest person in class. We had to fill out a sheet the first day and I noticed everyone around me said they were 18 or 19. I'm 22."

Chrystal Jones, a SMAD major who also took GKIN 100, felt aware of the age difference between her and her classmates. "While I didn't think I stood //'()/ II fllg/l out, I felt really old when I saw students wearing 'Class Sc/lOOl ic/ietl 1 of 2000' shirts and knowing that they just gradu- ated from high school when I was getting ready to graduate from college."

While some seniors felt out of place in these lower-level classes, every day, professors taught GenEd JTOJ71 College. courses to students of different ages who had various reasons for taking the classes. An assistant professor of philosophy didn't feel that the presence of seniors negatively affected the environment of his Philoso- phy 101 classes. He said, "At the end of the day, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference to the level of discussion in the class."

He wasn't sure why so many seniors waited to the last minute to take the required GenEd courses. "I suspect in some cases this was actually because (in past semesters) there simply wasn't enough seats in the classes for them, but that in other cases, it was simply the student's fault."

Whether students took the classes in their final

semesters due to lack of planning or out of a desire

to get a more complete education, the trend of

seniors taking GenEd classes would undoubtedly

continue. THEEND

of his time working with the campus radio station WXJM. He had his own show once a week which highlighted progressive rock. Photo by Kirsten Nordt

For anyone who listened to WXJM, the name Jody Abbott should ting a major bell. Abott, a WXJM veteran with three semesters of DJ experience, surrounded himself with music in and out of school. "I've always been into music and bands — I play drums and guitar — and when I transferred here, I figured there'd be some cool people I'd meet at the station that I'd have something in common with," he said.

Indeed there were, but working his way into the position of progressive music director didn't happen overnight. "When I first got involved, I watched all of the important people that had jobs do their stuff and just sort of tagged along. I would hang out and do random stuff around the station," he said.

Abbott provided a definition for those unfamiliar with WXJM's progressive music format. "It's alternative, I guess, in a Y2K sense of the word. Alternative now is Thitd Eye Blind and all that stuff you hear on the radio, but anything you can't hear on the top 40, that's the stuff that goes on here," he said.

Considering that roughly half of the station's air time was progressive music, his position was particularly demanding. "I talk to all of the record labels and record promotion companies a couple of times a week," he said. "By talking to them, we get service from them and they send us the music tor free. That's what really keeps the station going. We get the music into rotation and that's what you hear on the air." On top of that, he did the station's weekly top 30 charts and reported them to the national College Music Journal.

A junior SCOM public relations major with a music industry minor, Abbott hoped to build a career

in the music business after graduation, hoping to secure his dream job of being an artist and repertoire executive for a major record label. As he explained it, the job would entail being paid a lot of money to go around to various clubs scoping out talent. "He goes around and when he sees something that he thinks is really good or really fresh or whatever, he brings it into theit label, and of course that's how bands get introduced to the big executives and possibly get signed."

Another of Aborts significant contributions to the university's music scene was his involvement with the Mid Atlantic College Radio Conference (MACRoCk). This involved bringing in numerous bands and showcasing the music genres played on WXJM. "I was the head guy that ran the show all day- long," he said. "We help the bands out, show them where to be, and change up the stage. I am the coordina- tor of that who makes sure everything runs smoothly."

Although it started small, MACRoCk gained more exposure every year of its existence. It was originally a challenge to get bands to play at the April event but Abott explained that things had drastically changed. "A lot of bands will come in and play for free because it's a really good thing as fat as exposure. Last year people from promotions companies were coming down from L.A. and New York to see it."

Abbott described a trip he took with WXJM staff members to New York earlier in the year. "When the executives asked 'Where are you from?' and we said JMU in Virginia, they were like, 'Oh, yeah, that's where you have MACRoCk.' It was pretty cool. A lot of work goes into it but it really pays off." 1 END

DECK

HOUSEMATES OF THE DECK HOUSE take advantage of the many decks located in the front and back "The decks hold up the house,"said old residents of the house. Phoro by Laura Greco

Out of the 20 people living at 437 South Mason St., known popularly as the "Deckhouse," the junior occupants of apartment C spoke of their home fondly. Though it took a while to get to know people, resident Andrew Price said an overall chumminess soon spanned the living quarters. "Today the four of us went out to eat and when we came back a girl from upstairs and a girl from downstairs were in my room surfing the Internet."

A friend, Jen Mullen, said, "You can walk into anywhere, into anyone's apartment at any time." And it seemed that the multiple decks, the defining feature of the house, brought it's inhabitants together. Mullen described the decks as being "definitely communal. Everybody knows each other and there are all these random connections of people."

They referred to the front deck as the people- watching deck, where warmer afternoons were spent, though they admitted that deck bonding was more of a summer thing. "When it gets to 50 degrees that's wishful thinking," said Nicholson.

In spite of being inhibited by cold weather, the deck feature seemed to inspire prospective tenants to sign on. Nicholson said, "Pretty much as soon as our landlord showed us the decks we looked at each other and nodded our heads."

Despite the general deck obsession, the inside of apartment C was as cool as the outside. The living room furniture was covered in leopard print and the extensive video collection inspired a tangential conversa- tion about the genius of Kevin Smith. The fish tank was also a popular attraction. "Everybody loves the

fish tank. Drunk people come in and name the fish. This one is Mother Sucker. That one is Agent Orange," said Nicholson.

Despite the friendly-trendy atmosphere of the Deckhouse, it had it's share of odd memories. The roommates recounted an odd episode with an army of wild albino cats that took up habitation on the various decks. "They were mean," said Nicholson. "They'd attack you and snarl at you." He told a story of going to take a shower one morning and hearing hissing, and when he pulled back the bathroom curtains, "There were four nasty psycho cats staring up at me with their beady pink eyes and their fangs."

Roommate Jeremy Nimtz told of a time not long after the Forrest Hill riot when they all sat outside. A five-year-old girl dressed in riot gear came up to them and insisted on checking their cups to see if they were drinking beer. "I said to her, Are you going to pull your gun on me?' and she said, 'I didn't bring my gun.' Then she reached in her pocket and said, 'But I did bring my numchucks.' She had numchucks in her pocket. It was the funniest thing."

Even with such unique stories and strange occurences, it was clear that the decks gave the house character, something that other living spaces in Harrisonburg couldn't claim. "There are a lot of standard cookie cutter apartments but this place reminds me of that movie Swiss Family Robinson," said Nicholson. "It's like living in a weird dorm. It's built so randomly, with no form, all built on at awkward angles." And the decks. Ah, the decks. They spoke for them- selves. THE END

"It's like living in a weird

dorm. It's built so randomly, with no form, all built on at

awkward angles. "

FEMINISM

DR. SUZANNE BOST, A PROFESSOR IN

the English department, heads up the feminist magazine, S/ster Speo/c. She has been involved in feminism since she was a child. Photo by Kirsten Nordt

"People

often

think of

feminism

on the

.suffice. . .

but it's

more than

that. "

As a third year professor at the university, Dr. Suzanne Bost was a lover of feminist - theory and literature. She was involved with the women's studies program at the university, teaching classes such as women's literature, feminist theory, Latino literature, and American studies. Aside from her classes, she was also involved in the WMST reading group.

Dr. Bost was the sponsor of Sister Speak, a feminist literary magazine that had grown tremendously since its formation. "I first got the idea tor Sister Speak my first semester here because several of my students who turned in weekly response papers wanted the university to know what feminism was," she said. Often referred to as the "F-word," feminism was not a new subject to the university. Dr. Bost said that "Sister Speak exists to help overcome that stigma."

Dr. Bost felt that Sister Speak was influential in many women's lives, particularly when more students were involved. The students involved in Sister Speak

now had a chance to have a "public voice." Dr. Bost said that the magazine "might get people interested who otherwise resist feminism to consider it from new angles. Many people have no idea that they are surrounded by feminists and that that's a good thing. People often think of feminism as either purely political or purely academic." Teaching changed Dr. Bost's research by leading her to new texts in "searching for the ways in which feminism is really already a part of students' lives and interests."

When she was younger, she wanted to be a priest because she realized how much power and influence the priesthood had over her church. Her dreams were crushed when she was told that she could only become a nun. Through teaching feminist theory and other related courses and through sponsoring Sister Speak, Dr. Bost felt that she had achieved her "priesthood." "I feel like I'm a secular priest of sorts, teaching my students what feminism actually is," she said. "I just wear pants instead of robes." ^ END

HISTORY

Created in 1989, the efforts of Senior Class Challenge (SCC) participants had raised over $200,000 and benefited numerous areas of the university, including Carrier Library, various scholarship funds, career services and the arboretum.

The SCC campaigns main goal was to raise money through donations and pledges to fund a senior gift that would enable the class to have an impact on the university for years to come. Each senior class was "challenged" by the previous class to create a more successful campaign, which in years past, simply meant increasing the amount of money pledged. However, the Senior Class of 2001 decided to take a different approach that may have ultimately changed the face of future Senior Class Challenges.

The goal of the SCC was to speak directly with every member of the Class of 2001. In addition to personal and phone solicitations, a letter campaign was also used to reach those seniors who had not pledged during one-on-one efforts.

Pledged dollars comprised the bulk of money raised. However, successfully fulfilling those pledges was difficult. The SCC focused on collecting money from seniors before they graduated yet still gave them the option of pledging additional money. The campaign hoped to have $40,000 already in hand before gradua- tion in May. "The planning and strategies that went into this year's campaign were unlike any other year. We decided that some changes needed to be made in order to increase participation and secure contribu- tions before seniors left. We're confident that our goals will be met," said SCC co-chair Teisha Garrett.

After deciding how the money would be raised, the SCC Steering Committee had to begin research on potential projects that eventually became another groundbreaking aspect of the campaign.

Since meetings began in September, many proposals were offered to the Steering Committee. The decision was then passed along in November to the senior class for official voting. Participants were given the option of voting online, on The Commons, or through The Breeze. Seniors chose from the following projects: a scholarship fund, law library renovations, a mural in Warren, JMU farm renovations and a James Madison room in Sonner Hall.

After voting was completed, Carrier's law library renovations and the mural in Warren were chosen. As discussion on the newly chosen project began, SCC members discovered that the Class of 1951 had also decided to help fund the library facility. It was agreed upon that both classes would collaborate to hind the renovations, marking the first time the SCC had brought together the current senior class and alumni to fund a major project, keeping with the spirit of "All Together One." Pledge money collected within the following two years after graduation would also be used to fund Carrier Library resources.

As a second and smaller project, the senior class chose to fund a wall mural in Warren Hall. The theme and design was undecided at the time of the voting, but plans called for the mural to be completed by May 2001 , providing graduating seniors with something tangible for their efforts before they left.

BUSINESS

Day after dav. no other academic building was buzzing like Zane Showker Hall, home of the College of Business. As students raced across the marble floors to make it to class on time, they passed other students standing in the hallways discussing business practices and others waiting in line to work in the computer labs. The college admits on its website, "It's like a beehive over here." While at times, Zane Showker seemed busier than a beehive; students appreciated the fast-paced atmosphere, which mimicked the immediacy of the business world.

Students in die college had a wide variety of majors to choose from-the college offered nine undergradu- ate majors and two graduate programs. Many students chose to become business majors because they felt that they learned a wide variety of skills in COB classes and that the business degree was versatile. Rachel Dunn, a sophomore accounting major, said, "Even if you don't go into the business world, you can still get a job doing anything you want-it's not limiting.''

One of the most notorious classes in the college was COB 300, a cluster of four classes students take in their junior year.

Students worked together in groups to complete work for each class, but during the semester, they worked on a final project that integrated skills they learned in all four classes. Senior Lesley Stein, a marketing major, believes that while COB 300 is demanding, it gives students good experience in finance, marketing, management, and operations management. Stein also felt that the class helped students find their path in the business major. "Since you don't really take classes in your specific major until after (you complete) COB 300, you get to see what different majors have to offer. Personally, I entered the college as a

finance major, but I'd never taken a finance class before. After taking COB 300, I realized the marketing major was a better fit for me."

COB 300 was one of the most unique features of the College of Business, as it made businesses around the country take notice. Sarah Schambach, a sophomore CIS major, was a summer intern at an internet service provider in Northern Virginia. Her employer was impressed that she went to JMU because of the reputation of the College of Business. Schambach said, "My employer said that JMU is definitely the place to go because of COB 300. The class gives you experience in all areas of business management and with running your own business."

Another attribute of the college's high standards were the interdisciplinary units and support institutions incorporated within COB. There were many resources for students and faculty such as the Office of Economic Services, which maintained permanent data on national, state and local economies, and the National Center for Professional Development, which offered continuing education.

There were also support organizations within COB that focused on helping local businesses such as the Small Business Development Center and the Center for Direct Interactive, Retail and Marketing. An innovative program the Center for Entrepreneur- ship, which began in 1985, was created to promote and maintain the national economy by encouraging innovations and creating new enterprises.

Many students who weren't business majors may just see Zane Showker Hall as a "beehive." In reality, it was a building that housed a forward-thinking college that is committed to equipping students with skills they needed for the real world. , END

As students began to reach their senior year, thoughts of wedding bells rang in their ears. Most seniors turned 21 by the begin- ning of the year and began to think about their future. For most students in serious relationships, the thought of marriage was prevalent. Along with the pressure of graduating from college and getting a job, many couples were busy planning for their big day. Senior Leah Kirkpatrick was married in the Arboretum in August 2000 and senior Alison Godfrey married in May 2001 . Although these girls had to endure the stress of their classes, their dreams of the perfect wedding kept them going.

Kirkpatrick met her husband in Converse Hall in January 1999 during a hall function when they happened to sit next to each other. While talking with Matt Kirkpatrick, (her husband to be), about an upcoming hall event, they became engrossed in their conversation, staying up all night Kirkpatrick said that they "never finished the hall project, but we became inseparable." Six months later, they were engaged. Matt proposed to Leah on the steps at Wilson Hall, "a place with special meaning for us because

that is where we officially became a couple," said Leah. Matt could not stop smiling and said to Leah, "this is where we first became an official couple, let's make it official again." With that, he got down on his knees and pulled a litde box out of his pocket. "I had a whole speech prepared," Matt said, "but I can't remember any of it. Will you marry me?" Of course, Leah said "yes."

Since Leah and Matt met at the university, they decided to get married in the Arboretum. Leah had always wanted an outdoor summer wedding and considered the Arboretum the perfect spot. Leah and Matt worked diligently to create the perfect wedding. Along with the help of her bridesmaids, family, and friends, Leah created her own flower arrangements. After the ceremony, they had a horse-drawn surrey take them to Wilson Hall so they could be photographed at the place where so many special moments of their relationship had taken place.

They held their reception at the Joshua Wilton House where the couple often had afternoon tea. Family and friends performed most of the music and their first dance was to an accordion (continued on p. 226)

day and it was completely our own. "

(continued from p. 225) waltz written especially for Man and Leah by a friend from Finland. "Sometimes people get so caught up in having the perfect wedding that they don't really enjoy themselves," Leah said. "Matt and I were blessed. We had a great time at our own wedding, and everything went beautifully. It was a perfect day, and it was completely our own. Someone was smiling down on us."

Senior Alison Godfrey spent her entire senior year preparing for her May wedding. She and her fiance, Ross Fuller, met at the Virginians movie theater in Fredericksburg in 1997 where she caught his eye. "I was there with my best friend," she said, "and he was there with some of his friends. After the movie was over, my best friend and I got into her car and realized that she had left her lights on, so the battery was dead. At that exact moment, Ross walked over to say hello. Then he jump started her car." Godfrey gave Fuller her number and the rest was history.

Fuller proposed to Godfrey in April 2000. "We were on a fly fishing/camping trip on the Jackson River," she said. "He said that I needed a fly that sank instead of the floating one I was using. He handed me his little pocket tackle box and inside was my ring!" She turned back to look at him and he was down on one knee right in the middle of the river, asking her to marry him. They later went to a little bed and breakfast where he had a new dress and new shoes waiting for her. As they dined at the Homestead restaurant that evening, he had a dozen roses waiting on the table for her. The day could not have been more perfect.

They had set a date and now the two of them were busy with school and the final details of their upcoming wedding. "Planning the wedding right now is pretty hectic," said Godfrey. Although she and Fuller were able to get many things done over the summer and Christmas break, some things could not be done so far in advance, such as addressing the invitations, picking out the menu, dress fittings, and so on. Fuller was a dental student at UNC, while Godfrey worked diligently to find a job in North Carolina. She also spent her last year at the university preparing to student teach in the spring and move to a different state. "Sometimes I feel like there are too many life changes right now like getting married, graduating from college, starting a career, moving to a new state," Godfrey said, "but it's all so exciting. I can't wait!"

Fuller and Godfrey knew soon after they started dating that they wanted to get married, as did the Kirkpatrick's. Once a person had found that special someone, it was impossible to ignore the fact that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Several other seniors were in the process of getting engaged before graduation. Even though graduat- ing, finding a job, and getting married were big events in these girls' lives, they were happy and wanted the world to know that you could find your true love while working hard in college. Although Godfrey had the pressure of planning a wedding and Kirkpatrick had the pressure of making a marriage work, they were always happy and always supported by their friends and classmates, th e end

hen I'm in an unfamiliar environ ment, I latch onto something familiar, but if I don't have that familiarity, I can be totally with the people, totally immersed," said Cheryl Conover. This is why Conover, a senior international business major and German minor, chose to apply to the Peace Corps. "The kind of situations they put you in, they force you to get immersed in the society," she said.

Originally from Westminster, Md., Conover said that she had always been interested in anything international. When she visited her older sister Kelly in Madagascar for two weeks, Conover fell in love with the culture. "1 had been to Europe before, but not a developing country," she said. "I just loved it. It was almost like stepping outside of a bubble. It was refreshing."

On the plane ride back, Conover did a lot of thinking and praying about what she wanted to take from her experience in Africa. She said that she knew she wanted to do something for others whether it was in the United States or somewhere around the world.

A friend got her interested in the Peace Corps, but she said that she never knew that they had programs that fit her. She had always thought that the Peace Corps only dealt with agriculturally based projects until she visited their site on the Internet. After learning more about the organization, she decided to apply.

The whole process began last spring but she actually applied in July. There was a short health check and interview held at the end of October and then she was nominated for business advising positions in French- speaking West Africa. Passing everything up to that point, she had to wait to hear final word.

There were extensive medical forms to be filled out by various doctors and several different tests to be taken. Once that was done, the decision went to a final placement board. Each applicant's qualifications and health concerns were looked at and matched up to places where they were needed. The applicants were allowed to indicate locations they preferred to go to, but the placement board would ultimately make the final decision.

Applicants found out where they were placed no later than the first week of March if they were chosen. "It really depends on how flexible you are. I wouldn't rule out going anywhere, but I really want to go to Africa," Conover said as a smile formed on her face. "By going to visit, I just fell in love with it. I was fascinated by it and by the people living there and I wanted to learn more."

If chosen, Conover wanted to locus on forming relationships with the people she would be living with. She was not particularly fond of working with people based on secondhand knowledge. She preferred to fully experience everything for herself while she was there.

If chosen, the term would last for 27 months with two full years of service and three months of training at the beginning of each term. Each person chosen for the program was trained in the country that they were placed in. While there, each person's job was to figure out the specific needs of people in their country and to design a program based on their findings. They received very litde money during the term so that they could fully experience the culture they were placed in. "I don't think you can really know or understand until you see it," said Conover. the end

KIDS in the HALL

TAKING A WELCOMED BREAK FROM his busy schedule, senior Hunter Tabony shows his love for Gifford. A hall director had to know how to manage his or her time in order to make the residence hall run smoothly. Photo by Allison Miracco

"I thought

it was

a great

opportunity to create a

community. "

Afire drill in the middle of the night had most campus residents covering their ears with a pillow and hoping that it would turn off. But for some students, the responsibility was too great to just roll over and go back to sleep. This was just one of many unique experiences that select students encountered through their jobs as hall directors.

Hall directors in each of the university's residence halls had many responsibilities and duties that taught them valuable skills that could not be found in a classroom. Leadership, public relations and manage- ment skills were all part of the learning experience of their job.

I he position proved to be a big time commitment to juggle with school. As the staff leader for the resident advisers, they were a resource that also acted as a channel between the RAs and the upper management. For the residents, hall directors acted as the building coordinator and produced creative programs, activities and learning opportunities.

In addition to the other responsibilities, hall directors spent a lot of time in meetings each week. These included staff and individual meetings with the RAs and also individual conferences with their

supervisors. In general, hall directors got one weekend off per month, but the experience, for most, was worth the time and sacrifices.

"I chose this position because I thought it was a great opportunity to create a community and see the result of my actions as a success," said Hunter Tabony, a senior SMAD major and hall director for Gifford Hall. Tabony, like many other hall directors, said that every day was a new experience since the events that they were confronted with were so unpredictable.

There were benefits to having the position such as free rent for their apartments, a steady monthly income and a primo campus parking space. Yet most said that the job itself provided its own benefits. "You gain a good experience and also a group of friends that you might not otherwise have," said Tabony.

Overall, being a hall director provided a good learning experience and some memorable moments in the lives of the students who were able to participate. "It's so much more of everything than what I would have thought. I like the opportunities that I get and that I am able to accomplish things and help out people," said Tabony. thfend

I am here to serve the students. My identity, my purpose is found in my service for and with students. All students, not just Catholic students; however they may need me," said Father John Grace

Grace was a young adult himself when he started to explore his Catholic faith and community service while attending St. Meinrad's College in New York. "When I was in college there were spiritual mentors who respected me enough to give me the freedom to explore the meaning of my faith. They challenged me not to be engaged in self-absorbed thought, but to be involved, despite questions about my faith, in the real world. Personal spirituality, the life of the church community, and activism in the world all combined and the idea of being a minister in the church was very appealing to me," he said.

So appealing, in fact, that Grace followed his vocation to become a priest and was ordained in 1979. Grace served in parishes in Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Lynchburg, Va. for 10 years before being called by the Diocese in Richmond to minister to students.

Grace said that his experiences in college shaped his view of campus ministry, a view that revolved heavily around the idea of community. "As each individual chooses to share themself in love and service tor others they create a living community. In turn, communities reinforce the uniqueness of each member by bringing out those individual gifts around a shared vision and mission. CCM's uniqueness is found in its desire to have students create their own church community . . . where everyone can respond to the call of Christ

to 'come and follow' and make a difference in the greater community," he said.

Grace chose to make a difference in other areas beyond CCM as well. He was also involved with the social fraternity Theta Chi, and though it may have been unusual to see an adult in such an organization, the brothers saw it differently. Grace served as Theta Chi's adviser and was an active brother. Junior Peter McDonough, vice president of operations for Theta Chi, said, "The brothers were the ones who first asked Father John to join us. Many of us knew him through CCM. We see him as the most virtuous man any of us have seen in our life. As a pledge that's what we look for, men of honor. He goes above and beyond any expectation we could ever hope for."

Along with his roles at Catholic Campus Ministries and Theta Chi, Grace extended his service to organizing memorial services and dorm programs for the university and worked with other campus ministries. Student Campus Minister Nancy Condon said, "Father John has a message for everyone, not just for Catholics on this campus. His message is universal. He has these homilies on Sunday where he speaks to a specific audience, but I think everybody can relate to the things that he talks about. I think that's why he's so involved on campus, because he really speaks to the students."

During his remaining years at the university. Father John Grace made a commitment to serve and involve himself in the community and continue impacting lives. Grace remarked, "God gave us life to live it fully. There's an adventure, a journey in life. An awakening. I think that's college." 1 END

Tucked away on the busy corner of South Main and North Liberty Street was the unique home of four senior guys and four "resident" underclassmen.

Located under the large Camelot House on 61 1 South Main St., the four-bedroom residence was appropriately named "Underground." The actual residents included seniors Geoff Stenger, Adam Keath, Matt Kapps and Tyler Hansen. Freshmen Chris Bognanno, Joseph Mills, Zane Hart and sophomore Josh Browning also claimed the Underground as their home-away-from-the-residence hall because of all the time they spent there. Mills commented, "I love being here. It feels like home to me."

The Underground apartment had traditionally been home to Christian men for the past four years. Strangely, some of the former residents of the Under- ground had promised the apartment to Stenger, Keath, and Hansen, while another housemate had promised it to Kapps as well. Realizing the goof, they agreed to live together to compromise the situation.

The Underground had a welcoming atmosphere.

The floor plan included a brightly colored living area with a semi-circle of couches around the television, four bedrooms decorated according to each guy's liking, and a large kitchen. "The best part are the two TVs stacked on top of one another. On Sundays we can watch football and something else," commented Hansen.

Their dog Bella was given full roam of the house and added to the welcoming atmosphere of the household as well. Hansen added, "It is not unusual to come into the apartment and find one of our friends asleep on the couch. We want everyone to feel welcome in our home."

Most of the housemates became friends during their freshmen year. However, their faith in Cod seemed to be their common ground. Through participation in campus youth groups such as Young Life and InterVarsity, the housemates became closer with their "resident" underclassmen friends. Hansen explained, "Our participation in Young Life and InterVarsity bonds us all together. That is how we all met." THEEND

^ULTIMATE,

A key to the success of JMU's athletic teams has always been the support of the fans. Senior David Gould's enthusiasm for JMU's athletics was unparalleled by any other college student.

Since first stepping onto campus, Gould was involved in the sports scene. He played rugby as a freshman but a broken nose forced him to give it up. He quickly picked up the job of assistant to Lefty Driesell's basketball team. He earned a varsity letter for his hard work typifying Gould's relentless pursuit to be involved with sports at JMU. He also participated in football, Softball and floor hockey through UREC's intramural program.

"I've always been into sports, playing and coaching youth basketball in high school as well as playing golf for two years and swimming for one," says David.

Gould's dedication to sports reached farther than merely playing a few sports. He happened to be one of the most vocal supporters of all the Dukes teams, regularly attending football games, men and women's basketball, men and women's soccer matches and volleyball matches. He has also dropped by some field hockey games and wrestling matches while at JMU.

SPORTS TEAMS NEED ALL THE SUPPORT they can get and David Gould shows his support by painting his face and dressing up. Anyone that went to a football or basketball game knew Gould as the super fan. Photo by Kirstin Reid

While many people claimed to have attended many sports events, few could claim to have been as recognizable as Gould. "I'm probably best known for my painted face and chest and purple hair or maybe the purple and yellow striped socks," says Gould. "Other people probably know me as the guy who walks around campus with a pointy purple hat with gold stars and bells on it."

Sitting at the 45 yard line at football games or in the Dawg Pound at basketball games, Gould was hard to miss. If you attended a football or basketball game within the last four years, it was likely that you probably caught a glimpse of this super fan.

Going far and above what most fans could accomplish, Gould led the Homecoming Parade in October dressed in his standard garb. He also was an active member of the student Duke club and the Swing club.

As Gould prepared to graduate, he set his eyes on teaching and possibly coaching basketball. Judging from the enthusiasm he showed for JMU, getting a job as a coach posed no problem for the spirited Duke. THEEND

"Getting;

gave me a sense of satisfaction. "

Hundreds of family members and friends gathered in the Convocation Center to watch hundreds of graduates end their college career. As Dr. Rose finished his speech, fans and graduates anxiously awaited those famous last words: "I now declare you graduates of James Madison University." The cheers rocked the stands as everyone applauded with smiles on their faces.

The turnout for December graduation was one of the biggest ever. Over 500 of the graduates were fifth year students, with several other graduates earning masters and doctoral degrees. Senior Farrah Pickering commented on December graduation. "I thought the graduation ceremony was much different from May graduation. It felt like it was just thrown together so quickly. The parking was awful, but walking across that stage and getting that little piece of paper gave me a sense of satisfaction. I knew that it was finally over, and I was a little sad about it."

National Teacher of the Year from 1998 Philip Bigler was the guest speaker. As a graduate of the university, the opportunity to speak meant a great deal to him. Bigler had much to say on the importance of a college education and that receiving a degree from this university was a tremendous honor. He reiterated his enthusiasm over and over again, saying that this

school was the "best experience of his life," giving the attending graduates a sense of hope.

The majority of December graduates were fifth year students, many of whom had transferred, spent a semester abroad, or had an internship and had to stay to finish taking required classes. Senior Kevin Fryman spent a semester working in Disneyworld. "I wouldn't take it back for the world," Fryman said. "It was a wonderful experience." Senior Mandy Crocker was a transfer student from Longwood College who also had to stay an extra year. "I lost a lot of credits," she said, "that's why I stayed an extra semester. I don't regret transferring because I met some wonderful people here."

Although graduating in December was not what many students intended, most found that they didn't mind hanging around for an extra semester. Some students were able to graduate early by having the option of December graduation. Most seniors, however, chose to wait until May to graduate.

ou close \ our eyes and think: College of Education and Psychology, College of Education and Psychology, College of Education and Psychology, and its as if some surreal vision forms in your mind with the delicacy of a floating cloud.

The brick building hugs tight to the hill upon which it stands, surrounded bv a militia of willows whose drooping branches toss and turn in the light breeze. You continue up the gravel walkway, books clutched against your side, not knowing what to expect. Slowly, as the distance between you and the school lessens, you make out a white wrap-around porch. Men in white lab coats seem to float along the porch in clusters, bald heads tucked into their necks as they ponder the workings of the human mind. Others rock back and forth on unstable rocking chairs, arms folded across their smoking jackets, pipes dangling precariously from their mouths. On the lawn, amidst the smell of freshly clipped grass, you pause and watch kinesiology students at work while around them, Pavlov's dogs frolic and snap and yelp at each other in playful glee.

There are so many other things to see, so many, but your vision begins to cloud over. You lose grasp and watch everything gently fade away. Your version of the College of Education and Psychology becomes nothing but a glimmer in the vast abyss of your mind.

Okay.

So perhaps this idealized (and somewhat stereotypical) vision isn't what the College of Education and Psychology was like. Even though it wasn't some mystical Kubla Khan, the college definitely had its presence on campus, as testified by the students involved in its various academic programs.

Stated plainly in their mission, the college aimed toward "the development of the personal and professional potential of students and the advancement of the professions in education, psychology, kinesiology, and military science."

If you were looking for someone interested in the inner workings of the mind, inspired by people like Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Wundt, and enraptured with the ability to interpret dreams, fantasies, and nightmares, the program of study in psychology was most likely where you would find them. The psychology major offered a variety of courses, beginning with general psychology and gradually delving deeper and deeper into the human psyche with courses on thanatology (the study of dealing with death) and forensic psychology. The School also

offered independent study programs and provided numerous opportunities for summer internships with such agencies as the American Psychological Society and the U.S. Department of State.

The School of Education was the second of the tour programs of study within the college. Areas of educational study ranged from early childhood education to adult education and school administration. Teaching licensures and accreditation were provided through the school as well. The general formula for a major included three years of courses to prepare for the fourth semester in which field work was done in the form of student teaching. Some would say that teaching was a crazy idea but to the graduates and current students in the School of Education, the passing of knowledge and wisdom from old to young, experienced to inexperi- enced, was a feeling no other program of study could provide.

Others still were called across the football fields and basketball and tennis courts and enrolled in a program of study with the School of Kinesiology. These were the people who loved the outdoors, who relished the feeling of every muscle in their body working in sync towards a common goal, be it on a field or towards a finish line. The undergraduate program provided students with concentrations in all aspects of the physical realm, including athletic training, exercise management, and much more. The School of Kinesiology was where the coaches and athletic heroes of tomorrow were tempered and molded.

Walking through campus, you spotted a helicopter delicately lift off the ground, women in fatigues clustered inside its belly. Then you saw more fatigued figures rappelling off of Eagle Hall like human spiders and lines of them with weapons at their sides. These were the members of the School of Military Science, where the defenders of our country were created. Remember, however, that defense didn't mean firing off rounds or intense physical training. Rather, groups like the ROTC and the Duke Batallion stressed mental training as well through various leadership courses.

Despite this general overview, the College of Education and Psychology meant many things to many people, whether they were enrolled in one of the programs of study or were simply outsiders satiating their curiosity.

So for those of you without a personal vision of the College, step a little closer.

Come on. Don't be afraid ... Just watch out for Pavlov's dogs- they love nipping toes ... thfEND

hese past 4 years have been the best years of my life," said Senior Amy Talley as a tear formed in the corner of her eye, "all because of my experience with the Dukettes." Talley, a therapeutic recreation major and psychology minor from Fredricksburg, Va. had been part of the Dukettes since her freshman year and was currently one of two captains on the team.

Talley's admiration tor the Dukettes began when she was a small child. Her parents, who were JMU alumni, would take her to football games where she would stare in awe of the Dukette halftime performances. "I was very impressed with the Dukettes — how they looked, how they performed, their level of skill," said Talley. "I wanted to be a part of that."

Talley began dancing when she was 6 years old and trained competitively both in the studio and for her dance team at Chancellor High School in Fredricksburg. After receiving her letter of acceptance from the university, she decided to try out for the

Dukettes in April of her senior year but was doubtful she was good enough to make the team. Fate would eventually prove her wrong. Talley was one of the 1 4 girls who made the team that year out of 65 who went out for the team. Despite her strong background in dance, she was shocked to be chosen.

During her college years, Talley learned and grew from her experience as a member of the award- winning Dukettes. Her hard work and dedication to the team paid off in many aspects of her life. Being a part of the Dukettes not only boosted her self-esteem and physical fitness but also taught her the value of commitment. "I know now that if you are dedicated to something, it should be wholeheartedly," said Talley. "You may think you're giving 1 10 percent, but you can always work harder," she added.

Aside from the grandeur of dancing at football and basketball games, being part of the Dukettes gave her many other interesting opportunities and activities. Among these were a dance (continued on p. 244)

(continued from p. 243) camp the Dukettes attended every August. In lieu or practices and rigorous routines, the Dukettes had the opportunity to compete with several other schools and were voted Best All-Around and won first place in competition tor the past 3 years.

As a Dukette, there were also plenty of opportu- nities for travel. Talley's first year on the Dukettes took her to Europe to perform for the royal family of Monaco in celebration of the family's 700-year reign.

The year 2000 brought the Dukettes to a New Year's celebration in Athens, Greece to kick off the countdown to the 2004 Olympics and to the inaugural parade for President Bush in Washington, D.C.

Despite the fanfare, the traveling and the excitement, Talley admitted she would miss her teammates the most. The 13 girls she grew so close to over the years seemed like family to her. "I never had to go through any of the homesickness and loneliness that most freshman students have to endure. I immediately had 13 new best friends... there was always someone there for me," Talley recalled. "I'll definitely miss that the most."

Talley planned to continue dancing after graduation in May, setting her sights on dancing professionally for a cruise line, t; end

in the SPOT LIGHT

The college experience was enhanced tor many students by various activities within the university. The chance to be a part of an organization, team or fellowship could produce memories and experiences that lasted a lifetime. For one senior, the chance to be a part ot that unique experience is what made her dreams come true.

Beth Burgess, a star player on the women's soccer team, started her career modestly and through hard work and determination, rose to the top of her game. Originally from Richmond, Va. the sports management major began playing soccer when she was 13. An athlete by nature, she soon ranked soccer as her number one passion and continued to play on both club and high school teams.

During her freshman year of college, she played on the club team but by sophomore year, she was a walk-on for the university women's team. Each year, Burgess' performance got better and her playing time increased. It was during her stunning performance at a game against the University of Virginia, where she scored two goals in the last 20 minutes that led to the team's first victory against the rival, that Burgess

got her fame. Graduating in May of 2000, she took graduate courses and continued to play soccer. By her last year of eligibility. Burgess was named captain of the team.

Burgess credited much ot her success to the off- season training. Athletes such as herself trained year- round to keep themselves conditioned and ready tor the next season. With such an active athletic lifestyle, Burgess had to learn to manage her time well between her game and her academics. She also said that her open communication with her coaches, the support of having other athlete triends and lots of academic advising helped her through the tough times.

The experience she had during her career as both a student and a soccer player made a tremendous impact on her life. "It's such an awesome thing to have been a part of. It's all about making an impact and m;tking a difference," she said. After moving to Adanta, Ga. . Burgess was hired by an A-league professional women's soccer team, the Atlanta Silverhawks. Burgess enjoyed taking a break from her rigorous training but said she hoped to keep soccer as a big part of her life. END

INTEGRATED SCIENCE ^TECHNOLOGIES

There were many milestones in the history of the university. It had grown tremendously in its 93 years of existence. What started as a state normal and industrial school became a top-ranked university that drew students from across the world. Past accomplishments included graduating the first class of students in 1911, becoming co-educational in 1949, and being renamed a university in 1977. However, in the past decade, a new milestone was reached at JMU, the opening ot its fifth college, the College of Integrated Science and Technology.

The State Commission on Higher Education in Virginia made an excellent decision in January 1993 when they approved JMU's request to initiate a new undergraduate Bachelor of Science program called Integrated Science and Technology. August 1993 marked the beginning of the new college that became a very strong and integral part of the university.

The first class of 62 Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT) undergraduate majors began study in 1993 and with an amazing rate of growth, there were over 2,700 majors in seven different areas of study including communication sciences and disorders, computer science, geographic science, health sciences, integrated science and technology, nursing and social work. On May 3, 1997, the first class of ISAT proudly walked across the stage to receive their diplomas and on May 5, 2001, the fifth graduating class had their degrees conferred.

With the addition ot new students came the need for more facilities. On August 1, 1997, the doors of the Integrated Science and Technology building opened. The new facility included state- of-the-art classrooms and technology, several computer labs, as well as the CISAT Library, which became a very useful tool for both students and faculty. Other resources included the CISAT Medialab, offering students the opportunity to work with multimedia software and hardware that enhanced the learning experience.

For those students looking towards the future, the CISAT Internship Program was an invaluable resource. The program offered students information on various internships available and also helped the student in developing resumes and preparing lor interviews. Since opening in the Spring of 1996, the Internship Program had matched up interested juniors with positions in excellent companies.

The year 2000 marked the opening of JMU's newest academic

facility, the Health and Human Services building. Attached to the Integrated Science and Technology building, the two combined to create the largest academic building in the state of Virginia. The new building provided classrooms and resources for students studying Health Sciences, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Nursing, and Social Work. The auditory research lab and speech pathology research labs provided excellent places for students to learn. The building also housed several computer labs and provided hands-on experience for students.

Students enjoyed their experiences in the College of Integrated Science and Technology as evidenced by the growth and popularity of the college. Sophomore ISAT major John Alexander stated, "Being an ISAT major has challenged me in many ways thus far and has proved to be a great choice. I believe that I will be prepared for success in whatever profession I choose." With so many resources and opportunities to become involved in the college, students had the chance to have a well-rounded education.

Senior Susan Walker, a Health Science major concentrating in Athletic Training, was very excited about the possibilities that awaited her in the future. "JMU's athletic training program has given me a very strong knowledge base and the hands-on experience that I needed by working with several different athletic teams. I have been given the opportunities to work with the football, swimming, soccer, and presently, the field hockey team. I have really enjoyed all ot my experiences and feel that I am ready and prepared to enter graduate school next year," she said.

The university would continue to grow and the college would likely be at the forefront of its development. For the past few years, the Chesapeake and Potomac residence halls and a student center were opened adjacent to the ISAT and Health and Human Services Buildings. Future plans included the addition of more academic buildings, as well as the Leeolou Alumni Center. Construction began on the center in the fall of 2000 and was scheduled to open during the following academic year.

The attainment of new milestones was the key to success in any situation. James Madison University proved the importance of change through the addition of the College of Integrated Science and Technology. The college offered students both unique and challenging learning environments and the opportunity for future success. TH END

CONTEMPLATING THE NEXT JOB, sophomore Ryan Winters, junior Peter Denbigh, freshman Megan Inouye.John Peter, and Aron Hendricks surround the beginnings of a two person Hovercraft.

mall chips of wood flew into the air as the electric blade cut with careful precision into the large structure. Two sets of steady hands proceeded with the next step of the project, carefully checking measurements and the status of their handi- work. Others eagerly looked on nearby, and the small group of students gave a cheer when the circular piece fell to the floor.

That was the beginning of an innovative project, to build a functional hovercraft, led by a group of 10 ISAT majors. The student volunteers began their task in early November after a preliminary month of design planning. The hovercraft was built in different phases, with each student responsible for various parts, such as the hull, cockpit, steering controls and mounts.

"They all contribute different parts. They work together since the next step builds on the previous step," said Dr. Karim Altaii, associate professor of the energy sector of ISAT. The initial idea to construct such a machine came from Dr. Altaii after his previous success or building a hovercraft at another institution before he came to the university.

FINALLY BEGINNING THE CUT, JUNIORS Peter Denbigh and NickTurner give instructions to freshman John Peter. The students volunteered to help with building the hovercraft under the direction of Dr. Altai, an ISAT professor. Photo by Kirstin Reid

The $7,000 project was a chance for the students to work together and learn valuable educational and life skills. They had many lessons in engineering, physics plus teamwork and leadership. "The students need to be independent and make mistakes, and almost all the decisions are made by them," said Dr. Altaii. "That way, it gives them a lot of pride and satisfaction."

The students worked an average of 6-8 hours per week on the hovercraft. The project itself was documented step-by-step with video and a digital camera. They even maintained a webpage to report the progress on the Internet. The team also hoped to start a new trend in the way of hands-on projects in ISAT, by encouraging other members of the school's community to support similar projects.

When finished, the hovercraft would be fully functional and able to maneuver over both land and water. The team hoped to have initial testing of the vehicle before spring break at the university farm. "When this is finished, I think everyone is going to want to get in on it," says freshman project member NickTurner. END

the roof.

Random couches and multiple bikes scattered the porch of a yellow house on Mason Street. What appeared from the outside to be a typical college student's house proved to be much more on the inside.

The residence, known to students as the Tree House, was given its name when its occupants held a contest. Previously serving as a fraternitv house, the Tree House, located at 61 1 Mason St., was the home to eight senior guys. The housemates included Ryan Stamm, Ben Porter, Bryce Allison, Jeff Soplop, Todd Harrell, Drew Beckley, Andy Hall, and Jason Sims.

Most of the housemates met as freshmen however, they all shared a common bond in their faith in God. The students participated in campus fellowship organizations such as InterVarsiry, Young Life and Campus Crusade for Christ where several of them served as group leaders.

The housemates knew how to have fun, too. "We've only had one party so far. At the beginning

of last year we had the first 'Y2Tree' party. We had a tree on the root and everything," explained Allison. House rituals also included "movie-on-the-porch" night and a Tuesday evening dinner in which all of the guys cooked and sat down to a meal together. "It gives us a chance to catch up on what's going on in everyone's lives," said Soplop.

Practical jokes were just as much a ritual as well. One of the most infamous pranks involved putting Harrell's mattress on the roof. Soplop recalled, "Todd didn't think to push his mattress back through the window. He ended up pushing it off into the yard!"

Around campus, most of the guys could be seen in their creative blue "SAPS" shirts on Fridays, referring to the stick)' substance trees produced. The guys felt the shirts promoted a house bond.

The Tree House guys agreed that it was a great house and that their pranks and common faith made it an even better place to live, t-^eend

They came in their evening finest despite the December chill, eager to warm their feet and bodies on the dance floor. Skirts rustled through the hallway as the women paraded through the doors of the Godwin dance studio, escorted by young men dressed in their Sunday best (and an occasional tux or two).

Despite the decor, the participants of the evening were not gathered for the prom but for "Waltzing in Winter," the culminating event for the students enrolled in Ballroom Dance. After a semester's worth of sore feet and heads reeling with steps, students took to the dance floor in proper ballroom attire to demonstrate what they had learned.

"It was fun to have a social setting where we could use our knowledge, meet new people from other classes and clubs, and learn new varieties of the basic dances we learned in class," said senior Kelli Smith.

Open to the general student population as well, strangers to the class cautiously waited inside to see what was in store tor them. Surprisingly, the newcomers weren't easily distinguishable thanks in part to the

instruction provided by ballroom teacher Janet McCulloch. Speaking into a microphone, McCulloch introduced each of the evening's dances one by one, assisting the aid of a ballroom student to demonstrate the steps. "It was interesting to watch the people in the class show off their talents and yet they were willing to help those of us who had no clue as to what steps their feet should follow," said senior Kerri Bianchet.

Those who were shy and quite unsure of their feet were soon confidently dancing on the floor. Wallflowers had no place to hide as gentleman and ladies sought out those occupying the shadowy corners of the room, making sure that everyone had a chance to move their feet on the dance floor.

No matter the experience level, the evening provided participants with dances to suit everyone's taste, whether you preferred the down-home two- step of a barnyard mixer or a sultry Latin dance like the tango. "I've always wanted to learn to dance so when I go to weddings or more formal events I don't feel out of place and at least have a basic knowledge of the more popular dances," said Smith. END

BENEFITING FROM THEIR EXTRA TIME in college, super seniors Leigh Todd and Leah Kirkpatrick learn many lessons on life. Many super seniors transferred, were part-time students, or double- majored. Photo by Laura Greco

The idea of college taking a set number of years to complete was not the reality lor many students. Despite the reason, whether they had transferred, were pursuing double majors, attended the university as part-time students or were simply prolonging graduation to hold on to the glory days ol college life, select seniors found themselves in the unconventional category dubbed the "super seniors."

For transfers, the way to graduation at a new university could be difficult. Many credits were lost in the process and the reality was that it could possibly put them behind. Leigh Todd, an English major and Secondary Education minor transferred from commu- nity college in Williamsburg as a junior. Since she did not receive her associate's degree, she was required to take general education courses as an upperclassmen and lost time and credits. In her last semester she was student teaching at a local high school and writing for the yearbook.

Greg Lauer, an SCOM major was a three-time transfer student originally from Maryland who received his associate's degree as he waited to figure out what he wanted to major in before coming to the university. He was also held up because he was a pan-time student paying his own way through school. "As far as experi- ences go, I don't think that I've had a bad college experience," Lauer said. He worked as promotions assistant for WVPT television station in Harrisonburg and hoped to have a career in television public relations when he graduated.

For other students, the conflict was having a double major. Leah Kirkpatrick, an English and theatre major and secondary education minor, took 16-19 credits per semester plus summer school to finish her degree in five years. "I've learned that as many interests as you have, it's important to explore them," she said. Kirkpatrick felt it was necessary for students to go beyond the boundaries of their main goal to really have a good sense of what college was all about.

Kirkpatrick was an active member of the university community with her involvement in theatre, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Golden Key honor society and Alpha Psi Omega. She was student teaching her last semester at a local high school and after graduation, the Pennsylvania native hoped to move back to her home state with her husband and teach high school English and theatre.

There were also students like John Soules who loved college so much that they looked for ways to extend their student careers. Soules, an English major and secondary education minor originally from Massachusetts, credited his involvement on the rugby team as one of the main reasons for sticking around. He started his freshman year and said that it had been his life ever since.

The reasons were plentiful, with many different students in many different situations. However, the super seniors all had unique experiences that benefited them in their extra time in college and taught them many lessons for life. I end

Laughter was an effective stress-buster, especially at the end of the semester when students were agonizing over finals. To relieve the tension, students and non-students filled Wilson Hall on November 29 to welcome the comedian and impersonator extraordinaire, Darrell Hammond of NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL) sponsored by the University Program Board.

Hammond was born and raised in Melbourne, Fla. and began doing impressions as a child. After graduating from the University of Florida at Gainesville, he began his career as a comedian. Numerous stand- up shows and performances later, Hammond became a member of SNL after going through seven auditions.

New and Improv'd, JMU's premiere improvisa- tion group, opened for Hammond, warming up the crowd with their unique brand of comedy. New and Improv'd relied heavily on audience participation, playing a series of games similar to the hit ABC show. Who's I ine is it Anyway? .

In "Who Invited You?" Improv'd members asked the audience to shout out suggestions for a party scene that they were going to do. Four members portrayed pari}' guests with different personalities while a fifth member acted as the host. The personality suggestions

included a dog in heat, a girl scout, a hatching chicken, and President of the United States. The host of the party, who could not hear the suggestions, had to guess who or what each of the members were.

Performing about six games total, each relying on suggestions from the audience, New and Improv'd had students rolling in the aisles with their onstage antics. Following their spontaneous performance, the audience was ready for the main event.

As Hammond walked onto the stage, he was greeted by a thunderous applause. He gracefully accepted his warm welcome, and just as he was about to start, he was greeted with more praise from the audience.

When the applause finally died down, Hammond began an interesting discussion about his college days at the University of Florida. "I graduated with a 2.1," said Hammond, emphasizing the "point one" on the end. His revelation was met with much approval from several members of the audience who seemed to relate.

He posed this question to the auditorium of students: "If you drink a quart of gin every day for four years, will it affect your grades?" Nodding Hammond answered, "Yes it will, but not in a good way." (continued on p. 261)

(continued from p. 258) Throughout his performance, Hammond asked the audience what they wanted him to talk about. He went on to amuse the audience with some of his famous SNL impersonations such as Bill Clinton and Ted Koeppel. His deadpan impres- sion of Sean Connery had the audience begging for more of his convincing Scottish brogue. Hammond also took the time to find comical bits from the current world news such as the presidential elections. "Gore claps like a toy monkey, and he talks like other people type,'' he said as he proceeded with the flawless Gore impersonation he had perfected on SNL.

No celebrity was safe from Hammond's humor, especially those he revered such as the Reverend Jesse Jackson. "I think the most powerful speaker in the world is Jesse Jackson," Hammond remarked. "But does he ever have a casual conversation? He is so intense," he said as he made tun of Jackson's halting speech pattern and the unusual emphasis he placed

on certain words.

Hammond gave a well-rounded performance while covering a range of topics, from Bob Dole to the tequila in Mexico. Most of his comedy was based on funny observations that he had made, pointing out things that people don't always think about. A popular topic during his performance was alcohol and its effects. "Mexico is for advanced party-goers only. They have mascow, which is tequila to the 15th power.. .it has an agenda," he added.

Hammond received audience approval for every joke and impersonation he performed. When asked what was the best part of the show, freshman Madeline Rudman replied, "The imitations, because he got the audience involved."

Junior Russ Hammond enjoyed the show as well and commended UPB for bringing such high-profile talent to campus. "It was about as fun as a barrel of monkeys," he remarked, ti-ieend

SCIENCE &MATH

The College of Science and Mathematics at fames Madison University was praised for its excellence in education and research. The university had one of the best undergraduate science and mathematics programs in Virginia, based on a large number of recruits, both regionally and nationally. The College was supported by the National Science Foundation and received superior reviews from other professional organizations.

The academic departments within the college included biology, chemistry, geology and environmental science, mathematics and statistics and physics. Within these departments there were a variety of academic programs ranging from forestry to medicine to computa- tional science. These individual programs exceeded 40 in number, yet provided unlimited opportunities for students with varying interests. What the college essentially provided was a background in general education math and science as well as pre-profes- sional training and advanced technology training.

To encourage learning and give qualified students an opportunity for a less expensive education, many scholarships were offered through the college. Among these were the George W. Chappelear Scholarship, the Chemistry Presidential Scholarship, the Catherine King-Frazier Scholarship and the Serway-Saunders Scholarship.

The College of Science and Mathematics was well-equipped with knowledgeable faculty and superior facilities, offering an excellent learning environment for students. Lab courses were always taught by experienced faculty, rather than teaching assistants, as was common practice at other institutions. Labs were generally limited to 20 people so that students could receive one-on-one instruction.

Students had access to a variety of computing facilities and Lab and Research equipment including scanning probe microscopes, DNA sequencers, and coupled plasma mass spectrometers. The Mineral Museum, Shenandoah Valley Regional NMR Facility, and Wells Planetarium were also available to students within the college. A special bonus for science and math students was the colleges all-inclusive web site

which gave students access to research opportunities and information.

Each department within the college encouraged students to become involved with student-level professional organizations because participation proceeded success. Participation, in this instance, included getting involved with student organizations or actually conducting extensive studies on specific topics in research programs. College of Science and Mathematics Dean Dr. David F. Brakke stated in his message to the students that "we stress learning science by doing science."

Though many faculty members had personal ongoing research projects, students also had the option to conduct research tor academic credit. Interdisciplinary research 450 was a course designed for such students. Each department also offered a research literature course. The college even sponsored their own College of Science and Mathematics Undetgraduate Research Symposium each year.

Every department within the college had at least one formal student society or club, along with many more informal options. Such organizations, along with the numerous internships offered, were just several ways to get involved.

The college set aside a course, designated DEPARTMENT 494, which provided students with internships in any of the major programs. Examples of such opportunities included summer internships at the Baltimore Aquarium, Environmental Engineering and Aid Technicians for the U.S. Corps of Engineers, and National Park Service Volunteers in the Parks Program. Experience gained by working in the field gave students an advantage over others who did not have real world experience. The College of Science and Mathematics supported direct involvement and suggested that it led to successful graduates.

In 1998, 58 percent of graduates were employed and 30 percent of graduates attended a graduate or professional school. The diversity of their employers was extreme, indicating the breadth of occupations for graduates from the College of Science and Mathematics, the END W KITTEN KV

TOO LATE

"There ore a lot of hours in the

The expression "better late than never" was one that Dottie Edwards could relate to firsthand. Twenty-five years after high school, she was given the opportunity to attend James Madison University. When her youngest child turned 21, she decided to seize the chance to fulfill her life-long dream of attending college come true, even though it meant moving and quitting her full-time job to do it.

Having worked previously in computer mapping, she obtained a part-time job in Bridgewater working with computer drafting and mapping. As a geogra- phy major, Edwards hoped to find a job in cartog- raphy and air photo interpretation after graduation. "I have to pay back loans just like everybody else. I just don't have the same amount of time to do it in," remarked Edwards.

In addition to school, work, and family, she tutored non-English speaking children at Stone Spring Elemen- tary School, ran her own business making lye soap, played piano and directed choir for her church, and was a member of Beta Sigma Phi, an international

women's service organization. When asked how she was able to juggle all of the activities in her lite, Edwards simply stated, "There are a lot of hours in a day, and I just fill them with things I like to do. I'm very happy."

Although Edwards' family was very supportive of her efforts to continue her education, she was slighdy unsure of how she would be received by students and faculty. She was very cautious in her interactions with students, trying hard not to seem overbearing or to crowd social circles. However, Edwards was pleasantly surprised by the reactions she received. Some students told her it was nice to have a mother figure around while others said they thought of her as just another student.

In May of 2001, Edwards received her Bachelor of Science in geography with five generations of her family present: her grandmother, parents, two daughters, and four grandchildren, all of them excited to see Edward's long educational journey end and her new life as a college graduate begin, the END

WHILE FIGHTINGTO DISLODGE THE trash from the trashcan, junior Karen Jensen is happy with the thought that she only has to do it once a month. The girls who shared Jensen's apartment made a calendar of weekly chores so they would all share the responsibility of keeping their place clean. Photo by Allison Miracco

Fire drills at 2:00 a.m. Popcorn, pizza and a pink substance stuck to the elevator floor after a long Friday night. Thirty people sharing three showers before an 8:00 a.m. class. Hall meetings, Rice-A-Roni and vacuums with nicknames.

Aft, the simple, familiar pleasures of living on campus. While most had fond memories of 3:00 a.m. pizza deliveries and co-ed living arrangements, it was indisputable that making the move to an off-campus apartment, town home, or house had several advantages residence halls couldn't hope to offer.

What was best about living off-campus? Twenty- two of 25 students polled answered that having a private room was well worth the move from the noisy campus residence environments. "The best part is that it's easier to concentrate and study having your own room versus the dorms," said junior Kelly Price.

Aside from an increased amount of privacy, students enjoyed having the ability to cook full-scale meals in their own kitchens instead of having to walk to a dining hall where the selections seemed to be a combina- tion of the previous evening's meal. Many were of the opinion that they were saving money by eating most of their meals in their own homes. "Many times I wasted punches, or never ate my money's worth. Not only am I saving money, but I'm eating so much healthier because I can cook with less fats and oils," said senior Kerri Bianchet.

Other students preferred the luxury of having a private bathroom, a set of chosen roommates, and

lots of tree parking. "I love being able to have my car close by. Parking is never a problem at my complex and I don't have to walk far when I want to go somewhere," said senior Brooke Nielson. "It's also great having more space in general with the family room and I like having easy access to a washing machine and dryer."

Of course, disadvantages were part of the off- campus package too with the distance from campus factoring in as a major issue. "Transportation can be a problem," said junior Brad Geesaman. Agreeing, Kelly Price said, "The worst part is that you're not right there to go to classes or group meetings or anything." Fortunately, the Harrisonburg bus system operated on a timely schedule and allowed students to avoid searching for a parking space on campus. "Living in Olde Mill is great because the bus ride to campus is only about 5 minutes long and it runs regularly all day," said Nielson.

The responsibility of paying several bills a month was an added stress but students accepted the new task as something that was preparing them tor the real world.

Like any living arrangement, there were some minor setbacks but off-campus students agreed that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. The newfound responsibilities and freedoms associated with it were a part of the next step in becoming indepen- dent young adults. I H J END

I

've always had the attitude - if it's not avail - able, create it! Settling lor something that does not encompass my vision ol helping others is not my style. So, I've always been open to new ideas, even ones that take extra effort."

And create she did. Erin Dolan, a marketing education major, dedicated much of her spare time and organizational skills to starting her own business. Her creation, DYNAMIX Leadership, facilitated officer- training seminars, coordinated keynote presentations and organized interactive sessions for high schools, student groups and conferences. DYNAMIX was highly devoted to motivating students by entertain- ing, informing, stimulating and convincing students to achieve their personal best.

In addition to the hectic demands of owning a business, Dolan was a consultant for DECA, an association of marketing students, for 13 hours a week and also served as the chapter president and founder of Delta Epsilon Chi, the university's business and marketing society. Yet through it all, she managed to find the time to sleep and satisfy the other demands of life. "I have to get eight hours of sleep each night, or I won't function. Just ask my roommates!" said Dolan. Developing and keeping a business alive required extensive knowledge and planning. The first essential step was to determine if there was a market for her

vision. Strategic placement of business locations followed and was essential to a smooth, efficient operation. DYNAMIX was no exception. With four business partners located across the country, DYNAMIX was able to accommodate needs in multiple places. The most vital aspect above all was perhaps the willing- ness to commit an abundance of time and effort to make it successful and worthwhile.

The experience of owning a business gave Dolan the opportunity to practice her skills for her marketing education major and work with other students. DYNAMIX also gave her the freedom and flexibil- ity to make her own decisions and reap the rewards of her results. Dolan and her partners at DYNAMNLX looked forward to publishing a book, talk show appearances and the opportunity to facilitate summer camps for students.

Despite her commitment to her business, Dolan never let it get in the way of her education. She credited being able to intertwine classroom knowledge with her business decisions. "Sometimes in class, when we are learning about business, marketing or educa- tion, I think of ways to apply those concepts in my own business. I'm not just here to get a degree, I'm here to learn how to further my vision for DYNAMIX."

Students

celebrate

their 2 1 si

birthdays

in various

ways.

A rite of passage most often completed during a student's junior year of college, and described by junior Katie Lawson as 'your last fun birthday," was the year a student turned 21. While the expectation was to celebrate the occasion by going out with friends and fitting as many drinks into the night as possible, some opted for a tamer evening, experiencing the excitement of the day by handing over their driver's license for an alcoholic purchase.

On the evening of November 20, Lawson paid her first visit to the ABC store. "I handed over my ID and the guy at the counter looked at it, looked again, and said, 'Oh, is today your birthday? "

"I was excited," Lawson said recounting the story. "It was kind of fun." Rachel Collier, a junior Finance major who celebrated her 2 1st birthday on October 21, also made a point of buying beer immediately. "It felt weird," she said, "because you're used to having to ask someone else to get you what you want.

Collier decided to indulge in her new privilege.

"I went to Buffalo Wild Wings (BW3) because it's within walking distance of my house and I didn't want to have to drive anywhere," she said. "But you know, it doesn't really matter where you go. especially if you're a girl. All of my drinks were free, courtesy of the bartender."

Not exactly enticed by the local bar scene, Lawson opted for a quiet get-together at her apartment, spending the following evening at a low-key bar in Staunton with her boyfriend and another couple. "I didn't get really drunk, though, just because I didn't want to," said Lawson.

The initial novelty of the occasion wore oft within days for Collier and Lawson, a common post birthday effect. While exciting, "it was never a huge, huge deal or anything. It's just fun to know that if your friends are going out drinking you can go with them," said Lawson. After a moment of reflection she shrugged and added, "But even if I had money, it's not as if Id be out drinking it away every weekend." theend

A humanitarian to the core, Paige Rogers involved herself in numerous campus and community activities during her college career. She served as both a hall director and resident adviser in Logan Hall, participated in Impact, a Christian group for African American students, and gave up all of her school breaks to work in New York City with the homeless.

Rogers was also involved in Campus Crusade for Christ and worked at the Little Grill, a local soup kitchen on Mondays, serving the homeless. To top it all off, she tutored a first grader on a weekly basis. Commenting on her full schedule, she said "[I] enjoy life and I do what I like to do." Because of all her hard work and involvement in the university, she was honored at All Together One last year as being an exceptional student.

Rogers' family had a strong effect on her life. She was especially influenced by her parents because they were "down to earth and told me to appreciate life

as it is and enjoy the simple things in life." Having been raised to value education, she worked hard in school but remembered to make time for fun. "You're only in college for four years so live it up and enjoy it," she said. As an exceptional student, Rogers wanted to dedicate her life after college to missionary work in an inner city environment. She loved working with the homeless in New York and wanted to become fluent in Spanish so she could communicate more effectively with the Spanish-speaking residents there.

With a major in religion, Rogers was quite interested in how other people viewed religion and how they came to form their opinions about it. As a Christian, she said, "Religion is definitely the most important thing in my life. My relationship with Christ gives my life meaning." She hoped ro spread her views on religion through her missionary work and her influence on campus. Rogers knew what she wanted to do in life and she was not afraid to do whatever she could to achieve her goals. END

LOCATED AT 635 SOUTH MAIN ST., THE White House is home to 1 0 students. The old TKE fraternity house was turned into a Christian house and would remain so for years to come. Photo by Laura Greco

ALL OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF the White House are a part of either Campus Crusade for Christ, Young Life.or Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Each room of the house was named after actual rooms in the presidential White House. Photo by Laura Greco

"It's a

place where

anyone

can conic

to hare

fellowship

and a

good

time. "

If you were to take a tour of the White House, you would walk through the East Room, the Lincoln Bedroom and even the Ova] Office. You wouldn't get to see the President of the United States, however, because this was the home of 10 university students who had taken over 635 South Main St., known popularly as the White House.

Named for its color and not its resemblance to the Washington, D.C. home, the former Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house was in its first year of existence. The founding fathers included seniors Ryan Creeden, Anthony Gammage, Brandon Wright, John Kilmartin, and juniors Jake Edwards, Mike Ryan, Josh Fultz, Brett Richardson, Chris Doggett and Russell Griffith.

Every room took on the name of a room in the Presidential White House. The Lincoln Bedroom was Gammage's bedroom, the Oval Office became Griffith's bedroom, the State Dining Room was the kitchen, and there was even a Grand Staircase that

included black and white pictures of each of the 10 founding fathers that would continue to hang on the wall for future residents of the house.

An additional room in the house was the East Room, a sitting room area that included a red phone similar to the one in the presidential White House, a very loud basketball scoreboard and a sign which stated their house motto, "In God We Trust." All Christians, each resident of the White House was involved in a Christian organization. They even established a house Bible verse from Joshua 24:15 that said, "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."

The house would remain a Christian residence in the years to come as seven of the 10 men would be returning the following year. "The White House isn't just a place for members of Campus Crusade, Young Life or Fellowship of Christian Athletes, but it's a place where anybody can come to have fellowship and a good time," says Creeden.

In Grafton Stovall Theater, one student, sophomore Russ Griffith, spoke to an auditorium packed with over 400 students who wanted to know if they agreed with the man they had seen advertised on T-shirts for weeks and whose identity was a guarded secret. Griffith spoke to the students about what he considered the most important decision any person will make in their life: whether or not to accept Jesus Christ as the son of God.

Griffith was a member of Campus Crusade for Christ (CCC), the organization that sponsored the event. Griffith was asked by CCC to speak and said he agreed to do it, "because I've dedicated my life to Christ and I want to live my life for God. I want everyone to know about him, the truth, and how to know him personally."

As a young boy raised in a Christian family, Griffith attended Sunday school regularly and grew up with a strong sense of faith. He believed that because God loves His people so much, he sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to Earth to die for mankind on the cross.

In the days preceding the event, students were

seen walking around campus in bright orange shirts with words in white lettering that read, "I agree with Russ," printed on them. These shirts brought much attention to the event. Since the program was kept secret, many turned out because of a natural curiosity. The affair drew a large crowd that packed the auditorium to hear Griffith speak about how he came to accept God's grace, why others should, and to answer students' questions about why he believed it was such an important choice in life.

Griffith emphasized the importance of the decision saying it meant more than choosing what college to attend or who to marry. Audience member, freshman Karlayne Varney said, "I got involved because I have a heart for this campus. As soon as I heard of this, I knew that it would get noticed by the majority of students and I want more than any- thing, even my diploma, for every student to hear the truth about Jesus Christ."

Griffith made his voice heard, and many students did agree with Russ, as he received a standing ovation at the end of his program. END

Eight girls

find a common bond

W:

hen the eight female residents of the Son House moved into their new home in August, they found the place a complete mess but hoped to revive their new home with their creative spirits. The women, involved in I) \ ' following either campus ministry or Young Life, included Kristen C~y Gillan and Jen Wange who were both involved in

!fW ^J\Jll. Campus Crusade for Christ; Missy Montgomery, Emily Claypool, Jane Sowada, and Jen Bryant who were Young Life leaders in area high schools; Regina Narcisi, a Young Life leader in area middle schools and Sarah Harper, a youth group leader at a local Presbyterian church.

With the exception of Wayne, the women began their friendship as freshmen, discovering they shared passionate religious beliefs. Their home, the Son House, had been around for years, originally formed by a troupe of guys who had passed it down to religious groups ever since. The name came from Jesus Christ, hence the spelling of Son. The women were very close and they related to each other well. Every Sunday, they met a 9:30 p.m. to discuss house issues, prayer concerns, and encouragement. "We are bonded by Christ," said Claypool.

When their shed burnt down in August as a result of a grill fire, they had to call the Harrisonburg Fire Department to put the fire out. Although it was a scary event, they laughed it off, deciding to dress up as firemen for Halloween. "We never miss out on anything at college," said Narcisi.

The entire house was an incredible decorating project. Each room was painted a different color and given a special name like the "chill room," where Narcisi and Wange resided. More than just a house, the women agreed that their residence was truly a home. "The best thing about living here is that we really live here," Narcisi said. Jane Sowada agreed. "Living here is like a slumber party every night." The girls also kept a house journal in which they wrote thoughts, prayer requests, and funny stories strictly for the eyes of their roommates. The book also served as a good form of communi- cation since each girl had a very different schedule.

Living in the Son House was an experience for all eight of the girls. They were an extremely close group of interesting people who were able to practice their religion, work, and go to school while living in a comfortable environment. Their bond to God made their bond to each other stronger. THEEND

SIGGRAPH assists members

in pursuing careers in a

new field.

Anew organization was formed due to the large interest in the increasingly popular field of computer graphics, portraying to students the importance of being on top of cutting-edge technology and staying ahead of the competition.

The Special Interest Group for Graphics (SIGGRAPH), a nationally recognized organization, was established on campus by Brycen Davis, a junior SMAD major, and president of the club. The organiza- tion encompassed not only computer graphics but also other related fields such as animation and special effects, extending the interest to many other areas of technology.

For Davis, whose interests included web design, video graphics and virtual reality video games, the club was a way to get an inside edge and have the support of other students. "The most important things to me are resume building experience and a better understanding and learning more about graphics programs and the graphics working environment," he said.

Likewise, one of the most important aspects tor the organization was to keep students on top of new technology and new opportunities within their career fields. Club members regularly demonstrated graphics

programs to students such as Debabelizer and Photo- Shop and explored new programs as they were introduced to the public. The group also kept up on the job market and formed committees to keep a heads- up on career opportunities as well as web site and publication technology.

Arrangements were made to have special guest speakers, such as Fairfield Technologies, to speak at their meetings. Fundraiser ideas were underway to attend a national SIGGRAPH convention in Washing- ton, D.C. where the ideal opportunities waited. "Sending as many people to the convention is the ultimate goal so that people can make connections in the their field and learn more about upcoming developments," said Davis. Attending an official SIGGRAPH chapter meeting was on the list for the attending students as well as resume and portfolio workshops that would give them pointers about entering their careers as captivating new talent.

SIGGRAPH was a new organization designed to help students be more successful in both their college and professional careers. The club's potential was great and promised to educate members on all aspects of computer design technology. END

"It stands for searching out the positive in everything,

Anew club was formed during the year that promised to become one of the most successful community service organizations at the university. The Optimist Club was chartered and existed as one of the largest and most active commu- nity service organizations across the globe.

The 75-year-old Optimist International had over 4,200 chapters, with the university chapter as its latest charter. Approximately 160 members strong, the university chapter became the largest Optimist Club in the United States and the second largest in the world. In order to become affiliated with Optimist Interna- tional, the club had to maintain a minimum of 35 members. Affiliation with the national organization brought benefits such as a subscription to The Optimist magazine, support of international programs of service and chapter publicity.

Senior Matt Hahne started the club after helping his mother, the president of an Optimist club in Norfolk,

with her chapter. When Hahne returned to school he decided, "It was just something I needed to do. I needed to leave my mark, and it's also a great cause." Hahne, the president ot the university chapter, dedicated the chapter's community service goals to children.

Getting the club off the ground was not an easy task. After a great initial turnout in interested members, the club hit a dry spell in activities. The members and executive board had plenty or ideas but struggled to find a starting point. One of the first projects the group took on was caring tor children while their mothers took part in a women's seminar at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in downtown Harrisonburg. Members volunteered their Saturdays to play games with the children, watch movies, and take them on excursions like pumpkin picking for Halloween. The club also organized a canned tood drive tor the holidays and sold candy grams tor exam week. But more than anything, the club worked the

hardest in dedicating its time to children. The executive board was hill of optimistic and enthusiastic students who were willing to dedicate their time to forming a powerful, community support organization.

Sophomore Dave Urso, vice president of internal affairs said, "I wanted to join this club because of everything that it stands for. It stands for an optimistic outlook on life. It stands for searching out the positive in everything, even if it is difficult to find. It stands for college students saying that we are not too cool to work with underprivileged children and we want to help give back to the community we live in."

Hahne worked hard to get his club off the ground and looked forward to seeing it find further success in the future. "I want it to grow and become a powerful community service club. I want people to want to be a part of it, and all the power and prestige that comes along with being a part of this club." thsend

"Deciding

on (i major

lias been a

very stressful,

hair- pulling

predicament. "

AT THE ACADEMIC ADVISING AND Career Development Center in Wilson Hall, sophomore Sally Duff declares SCOM as her major. All sophomores had to declare their majors by second semester in order to graduate in four years. Photo by Laura Greco

STUDENTS DECLARING A MAJOR HAVE to fill out paper work with the school of their choice. Students could choose from five different schools on campus. Phofo by Laura Greco

From the time they were old enough to finger-paint, their peers and family had asked them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Now that these finger-painters were college students and well on their way to adulthood, "So what's your major?" replaced this infamous childhood question. No matter who they encountered, peers, family and sometimes complete strangers persisted with questions like "What are you studying?" and "What do you want to do after college?"

Choosing a major was one of the most significant milestones in a student's college career. Those who were still undeclared by their sophomore year faced considerable pressure to determine their course of study so that they could start their programs and still be able to graduate in four years. Struggling with a decision that could affect them for the rest of their lives was a nerve-racking and sometimes terrifying experience. Majors determined what type of degree a student would graduate with and gave them the skills they would need for their future career.

"Deciding on a major has been a very stressful, hair-pulling predicament for me because I am very indecisive," said undeclared sophomore Charlotte Haney. "I came in as a religion major but I've changed my mind so many times since then. Now I'm thinking of studying sociology."

With a large selection of challenging majors, students were often at a loss about what to choose from and where to begin. Unfortunately, a degree in underwater basket weaving was not offered and students had to begin with their interests. "I partici-

pated in an interest and abilities workshop at the Career Center in Wilson to narrow down the fields and jobs that would be of interest to me," said senior Amanda Harrah. "The workshop was helpful because it told me what I could do with my talents and where that stuff is used in the work force."

Freshmen and sophomores who were undeclared also had the option of taking BIS 200, a course in career and lite planning. The two-hour class that met once a week for eight weeks, gave students a series of questionnaires and surveys to determine their strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the block, they were required to submit a project with any conclusions they had made about their career. "While I didn't take the class very seriously at first, it really does help you recognize the kinds of careers that you're suited for, said sophomore Byron Davis.

Declaring a major was not an agonizing decision for everyone. Jennifer Kinch, a sophomore speech communication major said, "I've known what I wanted do since high school so it really wasn't a big deal for me. Besides, you have plenty of time to decide if you change your mind about your major."

After a year at the university, students were farther along, having experienced a taste of different depart- ments through the general education and required classes. With aids like the Career Center to help them narrow down their choices, the process was a little less stressful. Despite the headaches, deciding on a major brought most students one step closer to growing up. THEEND

Exploring her creative abilities was some thing P.J. Maske had been dedicated to since early childhood. At the age of two she began dancing and later moved to acting in middle school and high school. "I have always wanted to perform," she said.

As a college sophomore, Maske jumped into the campus theater program, involving herself in produc- tions at Theater II, the experimental theater. With some experience under her belt, she hoped to build her skills to the level where she could direct her own production during her junior year.

Theater II was one of the only theater buildings strictly dedicated to student productions and gave students a chance to express themselves artistically. Each production had to be approved by the Stratford Players and the theater department faculty before they could stage a performance. With productions ranging in theme, mood and quality, Theater II gave students like Maske the ability to take chances and try new things. The program attracted theater majors from all over and was the main reason Maske chose to

attend the university. She felt the theater department offered her a "well-rounded theatrical education." Maske enjoyed working with Theater II because she received "hands-on experience with different acting styles and different directors."

Pleased with the experience she had gained thus far, Maske was supportive of Theater II. One thing the actors and spectators often forgot was that the plays performed there were experimental and not intended to be perfect. She felt that Theater II gave everyone involved a "chance to do a bad job and learn from his or her experience. Not every show is going to be perfect."

Ready to face college and embrace the theatrical arts with on open mind and heart, Maske hoped to incorporate religion and philosophy into her art. With an interest in pursuing an acting or costume designing career, Maske felt that working with Theater II would continue to open her mind to new challenges and push her to strive harder in her field. She said, "I want to make art through my craft." the END

DR. EATON DEMONSTRATES HIS LOVE for geology both in teaching and his involvement with the United States Geological Survey (USGS).The trip to Venezuela and his involvement with a local boy scout troop allowed him to give something back to his community. Photo by Kirsten Nordt

As a professor at JMU with his "roots' in Charlottesville, Dr. Louis Eaton took what he loved to do and put it to use where it was needed: storm-ravaged Venezuela. After the previous years devastating landslide, Eaton flew down to South America for two weeks in April to assess the geological event and to try and prevent it from happening again. While he was there, Eaton worked in conjunction with Venezuelan scientists and conversed in Spanish with the "top brass" of ministries of the environment. He made a return trip in Julv for further assessment. The part-time position came by way of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to fill an open spot and provide extra help in mapping out the land. Eaton witnessed so many people living such poor lives but was overcome by the incredible joy they displayed despite everything. "They always seemed to be happy as if it were Christmas. ..diving into the water as it it were ice cream," said Eaton.

When he wasn't mapping out the land in Venezuela. Dr. Eaton was busy teaching GSCI 102, chemistry physics in human experience, hydrology (how water moves through the ground), and geomorphology (the study of surface processes). His initial interest in geology started in middle and high school when he was a boy scout. Every month he would go hiking with the troop

and on their trips, he found himself looking at the mountains and wondering how thev got there.

Eaton attended JMU, taking geology courses with Dr. Sherwood and discovered that it was exactly what he was looking for in a career. After graduating from the university in 1988, he worked as a geologist. He continued his education at Southern Illinois University for graduate school and in 1991 returned to take an instructor position at the university.

After three years here, he went back to school again, earning his Ph.D. at the Universtiy of Virginia in the environmental sciences department while still teaching part-time at JMU. Even though he spent the majority ot his time in Harrisonburg, he claimed, "my roots are in Charlottesville" where his family, his church and his scout troop, (where he served as Troop Master), were.

Feaching was his true love, but his favorite part of the job was being able to do a number ot different activities. In addition to his duties as a professor, he worked with the local community and gave civil talks on water and soil. He also worked with farmers around Harrisonburg to find water wells. The most rewarding part ot his job, he said, was hearing about the success stories of his former students. Their stories were, "...something money can't buy," he said, th eend

DIFFERENT

RUM

Being a musician and a student was hard work for Andrew Werner, a sophomore double major in physics and math, but that didn't stop him from pursuing one of his passions. While his musical interests were primarily a hobby, he devoted a large amount of time to his band, Okay Samurai, comprised of three other members, including his brother who attended the University of Virginia. "It's difficult to get everyone together. It was the same as an extracurricular activity, but not every extracurricular activity does a rock version of Enya's 'Sail Away,'" he said. "Every college student had so many different things going on at once so you had to balance your time." Originally called Second Nature, the band released a CD under that name and submitted it to a website called IUMA tor independent musicians. After receiving a threatening e-mail from someone who claimed they had stolen their band name, the guys racked their brains tor something new. "One of the guys just came up with the name Okay Samurai. It doesn't have any special meaning except that we all like old school kung fu movies," said Werner.

Along with juniors Eugene Jung, Don Simpson, and Andrew's brother David, the band had been formed while the four were in high school together. Since parting ways for college, they still found time to perform together and record new music whenever they got the chance. As of early December 2000, they had not had a chance to perform at the university. Citing the problems tor performing in Harrisonburg,

ENJOYING A QUICK BREATHER between sets, sophomore Andrew Werner waits for his band.Okay Samurai, to decide what song they are going to do next. The band described their music as a mix between Better than Ezra and Weezer with a punk cover of "Bye, Bye, Bye" by 'NSync thrown in. Photo by Allison Miracco

Andrew said that the only thing they could do would be to "open for a better known band at Main Street and have no one come to see us. We don't want to do that."

UVA was their main stomping ground, exploding onto Charlottesville's music scene in the same place where the Dave Matthews Band got theif start. Each member brought his own unique musical influences and tastes into the band. For Andrew, punk was his current music of choice. "I like the whole punk scene," he said. "I started off on MXPX, a punk band from Bremerton, Wash, and I never looked back." Mixed in with their original pop/ rock music. Okay Samurai was known to do cover versions of 'NSync's "Bye, Bye, Bye" and Paula Abdul's "Straight Up."

Andrew said that the best thing about being in the band was their jam time. "When we're all together in the basement," he said, "we just jam and it is great." Although he had no plans to pursue a career in music, he admitted, "If it fell in my lap, I would take it." The band had said from day one that they would stick together unless it stopped being tun. "I'm having a great time jamming and going crazy onstage with these slackers," he said laughingly. "We did this gig at UVA where they decked out the house with palm tree fronds, tiki torches, and goldfish swimming in a kid's pool. It was a Survivor theme party. Just to be at that party was cool, but to be playing onstage ... that was a cool teeling and a half. It doesn't get much better than that." theend

The position of resident adviser came with many responsibilities and challenges, especially for those students who had just entered their second year at the university. Deciding to spend their sophomore year as an RA was not a decision they entered upon lightly but proved to be a fun and rewarding year, giving them the chance to become part of the on-campus living experience.

Sophomores who chose to become RAs not only hoped to help other students, but also relished the chance to become a friend, mentor, and role model. Meghan Fee, a freshman RA in Chesapeake Hall, enjoyed the dual role she was able to play as an adviser and a friend. Although she was aware of the difficulty in distinguishing the two, she was able to become close to many of her residents. Her favorite memory as a RA was her birthday when her residents decorated the sidewalk outside of the building and filled her room with over 600 balloons.

Ryan Kidd, a Bell Hall RA, loved the opportunity

to have a positive influence on his residents that consisted of coed upperclassmen. When asked if Kidd felt intimidated when his position required him to discipline students his own age, he replied, "I have no problem enforcing the policies. The rules are in place for the residents' own protection, and if these rules are broken, they will only end up hurting themselves. I'm here to keep that from happening." Though most sophomore RAs enjoyed their year as mentors, the prospect of moving off-campus the following year was appealing. Being relieved of all the duties that accompanied the RA position such as creating monthly bulletin boards, organizing projects and attending several meetings a week left schedules open to other activities. Meghan Baillargeon said that despite the satisfying experience of being a RA in Gifford Hall, she was ready to make the move off campus the following year. And with so many sophomores taking the off-campus plunge in the fall, it was left up to the current freshmen to fill their shoes. THEEND

MAGIC

man

Displaying one of his old tricks, Brian Kloske showed his audience a red foam ball in his hand. As if by magic, he turned one ball into two, two into three and three into four as the crowd looked on in amazement and disbelief With a sly glance, showing he had no more balls in his hand, he asked a volunteer to get him another one. Reaching behind the participants neck, a ball suddenly appeared. Amazed, the volunteer excitedly asked like a child, "Do it again!"

Kloske, a sophomore speech communication major and theater minor, made magic happen on a regular basis. A professional magician since he was "bit by the bug" in middle school, Kloske had since made a career out of a love for the business.

"Magic is how I learned to communicate. I was terribly shy," he said. Living in Centerville, Va., Kloske worked twice a month during the regular school year in the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. area, but during school breaks, he truly turned up the magic.

Brian proved dexterous with an assortment of magic novelties including cards, money, water, rope and contact juggling and even dabbled in pyrotech- nics. He worked for adults at different venues in the Washington, D.C. area and performed at weddings and private parties whenever he could.

Kloske took inspiration from world-renowned magicians like David Copperfield and perfected much

or his technique by reading books on the subject. His school teachers also inspired him as well. "Magicians need to be taught, it's too much to learn on your own. They need lots of spare time to practice and learn a lot about the theory of presentation," he said.

It wasn't until college that Kloske made the decision to become a professional magician. Using the communication, theater and marketing skills he would gain from a college degree would only help him in his future career.

During his professional career, Kloske admitted to having some flops but his successes soared over the mistakes that he made. His numerous awards and features on television and in magazines had proven that.

When he wasn't studying or learning new tricks or playing practical jokes on his friends, Kloske was also very committed to the community. Having helped his mother with community projects since he was young, he joined the coed community service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, so that he could continue giving back to others.

Kloske hoped to settle in the Washington, D.C. area after graduation so he could be accessible to many areas such as Maryland, New York and Philadelphia. "It's what I love to do. There is an incredible feeling when you see good magic, it makes you feel like a kid again. I hope I can give that back to my audiences," he said, theend WRITTFN RY

Circling the lot, pulling into a space and then hiking to a residence hall became a ritual on-campus residents dealt with daily. "I like having my car on campus because I don't have to worry about finding a ride home and I have the freedom to go anywhere I want and I don't have to take the buses," said sophomore Erin Colangelo.

The love-hate relationship with the parking situation was a hotly debated topic, especially with the construction of the new parking garage at a virtual standstill because of foundation problems. While a car symbolized freedom, it was also an added hassle. "Sophomores have the unique experience of finally getting to pay $140 to search for a parking spot in one ol three vandal-ridden resident lots, and then risking tickets from among the 2,000 given each week,'' said sophomore David Clementson.

The demand for parking was high while the spaces available to on-campus students did not meet their needs. "The biggest problem with parking on campus is the lack ol spaces in comparison with the number of cars needing spaces," said Amber Krause.

Often, resident lots were not located near residence halls, however sophomores did not lose sight of the irony ol having to park far away from their dorm.

Residents and commuters alike

"There is a large parking lot right behind my dorm, and I have to park my car in a lot all the way across campus," said Krause.

Compounded parking problems caused students to disregard the rules and park where they weren't permitted. Rogue parkers were met with equally intense parking attendants. "I also reel that some of the parking stall are a little bit too ticket-happy and that the fines seem a little steep," said Krause.

Students were not intentionally trying to break the rules most of the time. Instead, they were legiti- mately confused because there were so many parking rules to deal with. "My biggest pet peeve about parking is that there are so many different stipulations for each lot and it's so hard to keep track of where you can park and when," said sophomore Laura McRoberts.

Off-campus sophomores did not fair any better. While they might have had adequate parking at their apartment complexes or houses, their attempts to find parking on campus became a frustrating task. "Although I spent Si 40 on a commuter parking pass, I have yet to find a parking space on campus this year," said Krista Keyes. "I have resorted to parking at the convocation center every time I have to drive to campus. The pass was a total waste of money." the end

the OTHER side

Far off yonder, crossing over the din of cars whizzing underneath the Carrier Drive bridge, past the CISAT building, affectionately called 'Egypt', were the newest campus residence halls, Chesapeake and Potomac. Although their tenants consisted of both upper and underclassmen, the majority of the students housed within the new structures were first year students, considered by some the luckiest and unluckiest students on campus.

With just one look at the buildings from the outside, they appeared more like barracks than comfy residences. While obviously very new, students shared the opinion that the architecture was somewhat un- imaginative. That preconceived notion was eased, however, after entering the lobby doors to find carpeted halls, new furniture and a fresh smell.

Each hall had 10 double occupancy rooms per floor with enough space to comfortably fit two beds, dressers, desks and student paraphernalia. The west campus dwellings paled in comparison to the high ceilings, smooth white walls, air conditioning and relatively large bathroom facilities of Chesapeake and Potomac.

Anthony Riccio, a Potomac Hall resident, found only good things with his living arrangement on the edge of campus. "There are so many people in such a small space, you can always find someone to eat, workout, or walk to class with," he said. In addition to its interior benefits, dining was also a convenience with the newest campus eatery, the Festival, only five seconds away.

ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF LIVING in Chesapeake or Potomac is the close proximity to the Festival dining hall. Well known and loved by the students who lived near ISAT, the dining hall boasted some of the best cuisine. Photo by Kirsten Nordt

The majority of students in the two-winged structures shared a common complaint about their hall: its distance from the main campus. Frequently, east campus residents would simply skip class rather than brave a long walk in bad weather conditions, a fact that caused many students' grades to suffer. Potomac resident Melinda Tucker said, "I have to allow myself almost 20 minutes extra time before my 8 a.m. classes to either catch the bus or haul to class if I miss it."

It was agreed that changes were needed to accomodate east campus residents. Kristen Graham of Chesapeake presented the idea that the univer- sity should install more blue lights along the bridge and paths to the ISAT buildings for safety purposes. It was also suggested that the university should give the students of Chesapeake and Potomac preference in the housing lottery system so they would have a chance to live closer to west campus facilities.

Most of the advantages of living in the posh east campus residences outweighed the disadvantages. For example, the long walk over to the central part of campus was helpful in keeping off the dreaded "freshman 15." Chesapeake resident Lauren Pomeroy also liked the close proximity to UREC, making it convenient for her to work out.

Despite the drawbacks, one thing all students living in Chesapeake and Potomac agreed on was that their spectacular view of the sun setting beneath the nearby mountains was unbeatable, theend WRITTEN RY

A girl stared hesitantly at the card that read 'Riders Wanted.' She looked back at the board and then to her friend who told her, "Go ahead, fill it out. You'll never know until you try." The girl began to fill out the card.

"Ride at your own risk'' were the words posted on the Share-A-Ride board in Warren Hall located by the university post office. The board contained two maps, one or Virginia and the other of the East Coast split into two regions. Eight zones divided the maps further and extended as far as Indiana and the length of the entire East Coast. Students who needed a ride filled out the corresponding purple cards and students who wanted riders filled out yellow cards.

Despite its warning, those in need of transportation still used the board set up to supply rides and riders for students traveling to various destinations in the continental United States. The system was particularly helpful to freshmen because they were not permitted to have cars during their first year. Those from other states also used it frequently because it was harder to find someone they knew that was headed in the same direction. "I usually called the 'riders wanted' cards that were decorated the most and stood out. Those were usually the people who were desperate for people to go with them and liked having company in the car," said sophomore Terrence Nowlin.

Those freshmen that used the board or had friends that had used it found the Share-A-Ride system very helpful. "I've used it twice and got a response each

time. It just so happened that I ended up getting rides otherwise, but at least I know it works," said freshman Caleb Hannan.

The board also had its disadvantages. Although part of the friendly, familiar university, the fact remained that the students who offered and asked for rides did not know each other. Students questioned the level of safety riding with strangers. "While the board might be a good idea, you never really know what you'd be getting yourself into riding with a person you don't know. They could turn out to be crazy!" said freshman Deveda Watkins.

Senior Amanda Harrah remembered getting a response to her card from someone during her freshmen year who wanted to offer her a ride back to Northern Virginia. "He sounded kind of scary on the phone and I wasn't sure if he was a student or not. I lied and told him that I had already found another ride home just for safety sake. I just didn't have a good feeling about it," she said.

While it was primarily a safe way to seek transpor- tation, sometimes riders and drivers found that they had signed on for more than they had bargained for riding with a stranger. Byron Dunham had one such unfortunate experience. "Sure, the ride board may get you a ride because I did get a ride. However, it was the ride from hell. The girl talked about a whole lot of girl stuff, played awful music, and scared me half to death with her road rage. I will never ride with a total stranger again!" ihlEND

A big part of the first-year of college was learning the ins and outs of the university. Required to live their first year on- campus, freshmen made the most of their life in a residence hall, taking full advantage of university facilities and experiencing the convenience of having everything they needed tor daily life within a short walk from their rooms.

Of the 15 residences that housed freshmen during the year, seven of them were located in the village. Unique communities in respect to the other hall- oriented living arrangements on campus, the village featured suite set-ups that brought six residents together. Freshman Kara Saunders stated, "I really liked living in the village because it was just such a nice community of kids. We all seemed to get along well. We had a lot of people who shared interests living in the village."

The dorms in the village were centrally located on campus, according to their freshmen residents. UREC, the ISAT buildings and the Modular buildings were just a quick 5-minute walk under or over the adjacent highway while campus eateries such as D- hall and Dukes were approximately the same distance

over the railroad tracks. White Hall President Matthew Benjamin said, "We have the perfect location-not too far from anything. Basically, we are living in the center or campus."

David Ward lived in the village and thought the overall living experience was a good one, with one exception: the uniform appearance of every residence hall, making them practically indistinguishable on the surface. "Everything is the same. There is no change of scenery," said Ward. Despite its uniformity, he agreed that the village was a good place to live not only because of its prime location, but because of its suite set-up which he believed led to a friendly atmosphere. Benjamin agreed with Ward, stating, "The suites are good because of the social aspect, whereas living in a long hall [like Bell or Hillside] , no one leaves their doors open. Suite doors are never closed, and that's very inviting."

The best summation of village life was stated by resident Jennifer Hammel. "The village is by far the best place on campus to stay. I love the central location, and it is nice to have the suite area to chill in, along with the TV lounge. It's great." THEEND

Leaving the comforts of home, freshmen were faced with several life altering adjust- ments when they entered their new campus residences. Among them was a task many had never attempted before: laundry. With no way around it, (unless they wanted to go around wearing dirty clothes), they set out with their quarters and detergent in hand.

Freshman Emily Lively's roommate came to school with no clue on the ins and outs of laundry. "My roommate did not know how to do laundry and I had to teach her when she got here. It was a show."

Even those with laundry experience ran into problems and accidents did happen. "My friend washed a load of clothes with a pen in one of his pant pockets and almost all of his clothes were ruined," said Joe Ciarallo.

Deciding to wing it by operating the machinery without some beginner's instruction caused laundry blunders that affected more than one persons wardrobe. "My dorm, McGraw-Long, had a fire because apparendy someone had put too much stuff in the washer and the belt caught on fire. So, we all were woken up by the fire alarm, had to go outside in our pajamas in the pouring rain and wait for the firemen," said Lisa Kussmann.

Sharing a washer and dryer with a lot of other people caused some awkward situations as well. "It was midnight and I just finished washing a load of clothes and proceeded to move them to the dryer," said Patrice Seko. "Just as I put the last quarter in, a

voice from behind me whispered, 'Hey sweetheart, I think you dropped something.' I turned around and looked into the eyes of some cute guy, grinning ear to ear. To my surprise, he was holding my black lace thong and swinging it around his fingers! Beat red, I smiled, laughed and threw them in. We still laugh every time we see each other."

Seko had another unfortunate and embarassing experience during her next attempt to do the wash. "I was in the laundry room and realized I was one quarter shy of a dollar. Some guy came over and said, 'Here babe!' and then "accidentally" dropped it into the washer. I bent over the washer and tried to retrieve it amongst my clothes, when I saw a flash from behind me. The jerk's friends took a picture of me bending over the washer in my cut-off jean shorts," she said.

Even without laundry mishaps, there was still one more thing to complain about: paying to use the washer and dryer. Students accustomed to the free laundry service of home hated the idea of having to pay as well as the restriction of having to use only quarters. "The whole quarter diing blows and the)' should change that or make it so it doesn't have to be quarters [by letting us use] credit cards," said Lauren Giese.

Certain students found ways to avoid the whole laundry issue all together. "During my freshman year, I would send my clothes home and my mom would wash them. It sure beats paying out of my pocket," said senior Hina Ansari. theend

U:

gh! It is sooooo cold!" the freshmen exclaimed, not used to the brutal, winter wind of the Shennandoah valley. "That's one good thing about living in Shorts, we're right by Mrs. Greens and Lakeside Express," said freshman Claudia Saenz, pointing out to her friend that they didn't have to bundle up for a long walk if they needed a meal.

The benefits of living in the Lakeside area included more than convenient places to eat. In Shorts Hall, the substance-free freshmen residence, people were given the chance to live among others who had made a similar commitment to abstain from drug and alcohol usage. Shorts residents found the hall uncharacteris- tically quieter and cleaner than other freshmen residences. Saenz continued by saying, "If I could live anywhere on campus, I would still be here at Shorts. Our hall is just incredible." Freshman Lisa Rines added, "I've been to other dorms and they're not as friendly as we are. Our doors are always open. Late at night, I can hear my suitemates singing at the top of their lungs, all to different songs, and it's just so amazing here." Across the courtyard, the eight floors of Eagle Hall, a smoke-free dorm, housed approximately 450 students. As the biggest living community on campus. Eagle was known for its raucous times, fire drills and energy. "Here at Eagle, we always have fun. There are so many new people to meet. This is where all the action is. There are always crazy people running around," said freshman David Holloway.

"Eagle is the best residence hall on campus because where else can you live and interact with 450

other people? Its one of the best places to be a resident adviser too because there's such a mix of. people and there's always something going on," said Eagle RA Sam Campbell.

Differences in college residences and the familiar surroundings of home took some getting used to for the residents of Lakeside when they moved into their new hall arranged communities. "You can't be as fake here. Your hallmates see you at three in the morning in your pajamas brushing your teeth. They see you when you have the flu and refuse to get out of bed. You can't be as shallow here," said freshmen Jess Gladis and Allison Richardson. "Also, we're much more liberated than when we're at home." While Gladis and Richardson's words rang true for all freshmen on Gimpus, they agreed that Lakeside dorms were decidedly unique. "There was this one night I got on the elevator, and there were these girls from fifth floor playing cards. They were just sitting there, playing cards, in the elevator. It was the most bizarre thing ever!" said freshman, Shorts Hall Council President Joe Mills.

Residents of Lakeside also had one last thing to brag about: the view. From one side, the windows overlooked the football field. From another angle, tfre always-bustling courtyard was excellent for people watching. The southwest sides of Shorts and Eagle revealed Newman Lake, a popular late-night hangout and a nice place to sit and admire the view during warmer weather.

Freshmen put their lore to the test when engaged in long- distance relationships.

So often it happened that students with blossoming high school relationships faced the immense obstacle of separating from their loved ones when they entered college. Trying to make the best of the situation, some first year students saw long-distance relationships as a chance for growth and an opportunity for independence. Even though being apart from their significant other was difficult, it was possible to survive and students looked at it from a positive perspective. "Being apart from my boyfriend made the times when I'm with him more special," said freshman Sarah Baughan.

For Baughan, it was not hard to balance her time between her schoolwork and her social life. She, like many others, found time to study during the week and saw her boyfriend on the weekends. It was important, as freshmen, to create new friendships so their transition into college was not so hard. Freshman Michelle McDaniel said she and her boyfriend were "glad that we don't go to the same college. It gave us the ability to make new friends."

Relocating to a new place was difficult without a boyfriend or girlfriend, but it was possible to make it through the first semester alone. With a workload that was much different from high school, students

who came to school "attached" felt their experience without their boyfriend or girlfriend was helpful because it forced them to develop better communi- cation skills. "We talk everyday and it is extremely important to have good communication skills so that you know when something is wrong but also not to be so dependent on him being there that you can't function on a daily basis," said freshman Georgenna Long. The distance also proved to help some relation- ships. McDaniel said that while many people did not think her long-distance relationship would work out, it only made her work even harder at it.

Freshman Alison Crawley found that it was more difficult tor her to make girlfriends initially because she was already committed to a guy. She said that having a boyfriend "makes it harder to meet girls because they form this opinion of you automatically. This opinion that you won't go out, party, or have fun because you have this boyfriend."

Overall, students agreed that having a long- distance relationship was not too hard to deal with. While there may have been lots of lonely weekdays, students in these situations found time to make new friends, catch up on their schoolwork, and experience campus independently. THEEND

LOOKING UPON THE FACADE OF Logan Hall, one can see the beautiful architecture of the Bluestone area. Logan, which was built in 1951, housed the paper-making studio as well as freshmen residents. Photo by Allison Miracco

FRESHMAN ALYSON PAQUETTE CALLS up to her friend to hurry while she and freshman Carlee Brueser wait to go to lunch. Paquette said that she was happy to hear that Logan was turned from all-female to coed this year. Photo by Allison Miracco

The sounds of laughter and voices wafted across the Quad as students contentedly snuggled under trees to study or catch a quick snooze before their next class. Shirtless guys could be seen playing Ultimate Frisbee while other students sat on the grass and talked to their friends. Ah, the joys of living in the Bluestone area.

"I love living in Ashby despite the occasional chicken factory smell because it's on the Quad," said freshman Mollie Helton. "It's awesome being able to stretch out on the grass and read a book whenever I want to."

Helton was one of a handful of freshmen fortunate enough to live by the Quad. Due to an increased number of freshmen students, Bluestone residence halls were opened to the incoming freshmen, a privilege usually reserved for upperclassmen. Hoffman remained a traditional freshmen residence while Logan, formally an all-female upperclassmen hall, became a newly designated freshmen residence. Gifford also started housing freshmen in addition to its upperclassmen residents and Ashby opened its doors to international students with every class status.

Those who weren't lucky enough to have the opportunity to live in the Bluestone buildings as freshmen thought the change was unwise and unfair citing it was a privilege that should be reserved for

upperclassmen. "I think that only mature freshmen should be allowed to live in the Bluestone buildings so they can realize how lucky they are. Immature freshmen shouldn't live here because they would take what they have for granted," said sophomore Erin Brakensiek.

Living on the Quad proved advantageous to freshmen getting used to the new college scene. "Living here is great," said freshman Angelica Carino, "We're located right at the heart of the campus which is a lot of fun but we're kind of spoiled because everything is just a five-minute walk away."

Besides the close proximity to academic buildings and dining facilities, another advantage included the satisfaction of knowing that the coveted, historical residences were a bonus usually reserved for upper- classmen. In comparison, Bluestone rooms were also more spacious than the typical freshmen residence room with higher ceilings, only 2-4 people to a bathroom and nicer lounge areas.

Whether they liked having an increased amount of living space, being able to walk to classes at the last minute, having the Quad in their backyard or walking to a nearby thrift shop in town, freshmen gratefully agreed that living there was a delightful and memorable experience, theend

Hillside residents cite hall unity as

Resting alongside the marching band's practice field, adjacent to the Rockingham Memorial Hospital, sat the Hillside and McGraw-Long residence halls. Housing students since 1987 and 1984 respectively, McGraw-Long and Hillside were the architecturally typical college residences with corridor-style halls, community baths, coed floors, and approximately 225 students in each. Special features such as air-conditioned rooms, however, made these "typical" buildings among the most attractive places for freshmen to reside on campus. Residents of both halls agreed that the advantages outweighed disadvantages significantly. The locations of both Hillside and McGraw-Long were exceptional because of their close proximity to dining establish- ments like PC Dukes and D-hall, and major student

gathering places like Carrier Library, Taylor Down Under, the Quad and a majority or the academic buildings. As if living close to everything wasn't enough, the students boasted about being close to Warren Hall bookstore and mail services when many students from other sides of campus had to walk in the cold or rain to receive mail or pick up their exam booklets before an important test.

"Hillside and McGraw-Long's location is probably the best on campus because it's adjacent to nearly every important building for freshman," said Hillside resident Nicole Pennucci.

Hillside and McGraw-Long residents cited unity as a major advantage to their living situation. The resident advisers seemed to go out of their way to program at least two exciting hall activities each week.

a major advantage of living in their residence halls.

The RAs are always really friendly and really try to ;et all the residents involved in activities to meet new people and try new things," said freshman Kevin Lancor.

A spirit of community was displayed creatively in the Hillside 3B hallway where the girls painted an underwater scene along the corridor to create a warmer, more aesthetically pleasing environment. The girls valued the time they spent together during hall projects because it brought them closer to their neighbors and their RA. The expectation of the Hillside RAs was to get all the walls painted a different outdoor scene to make the Hillside halls more attractive. The corridor set-up for the dorms was especially attractive to freshmen, giving them the opportunity to peek in and say 'hi' as they walked down the hall.

Separated into three sections, the buildings

sometimes proved burdensome for those who wanted to get to know people in other parts of the hall. "In Hillside, you sometimes have to go out of your way to meet people that don't make themselves seen," said freshman Kailey Sheppard.

The stellar location, hall unity and the opportu- nity to meet lots of people created one of the best living environments for treshmen. Sheppard noted, "The dorm's lounge area is one of the best things about the dorm. We have a ping pong table, free arcade game and pool tables which really help us when we just want to unwind and chill out." fheend

As you stood in the long line of students waiting to have their class pictures taken, you gave yourself a last look in the mirror and practiced your cheesy yearbook smile. Gazing around, you noticed the others, who were also waiting patiendy, picking lint balls off their sweaters and checking their hair for the fifth time.

While the photographer tried unsuccessfully to convince a stone-faced student to show his pearly whites and "smile for the camera," a new presence breezed into the room and all heads turned. Gasps and snickers were heard from the line as a young man dressed in an off-the-wall ensemble strolled in. After coming to the realization that he had not wandered into the wrong room by mistake, you couldn't help uttering the words "What is he thinking?" under your breath.

No, these weren't students who were colorblind or simply having bad hair days. So what were they thinking when they decided to forgo the traditional picture day primping for an outrageous getup? To most of these individuals, picture day signaled an opportunity to express their personality through their wardrobe, hairstyle or even an enthusiastic facial expression.

Students like Mark Chapman decided to include props that would say something about who they were and the lifestyle they led. "I brought Kermit with me to have my picture taken because I knew that he (being very photogenic) would be a great addition to my photo. So much of college is about friendship, the fun we have together and living life, and I truly think that

Kermit's person manifests the qualities of the easygoing college guy," he said. "He's adventurous and playful, yet at the same time has a very real side to him. He's not a super genius but he knows what he likes and loves life. And like most college guys, he's after the woman of his dreams (for him that's Miss Piggy). I'm happy to have Kermit with me in the photo because I think we are a lot alike."

Hoping to be immortalized forever in a chapter of university history, some students tried their hardest to come up with a unique way to pose for the camera, thus standing out from the hundreds of other students on their page. For repeat offenders, it had become an annual tradition. "Dressing up like a redneck with a mullet and a ridiculous look on my face was just something I wanted to do," said Joshua Lookabill. "It says a lot about my personality. The first time I did it was last year with my Bible study group and it was so much fun, I just had to do it again."

Others had an agenda, intending to make a statement with their photo. But even those who braved their originality for the masses of students had a tar more imposing presence to contend with for their decision: their mothers. "I did it to do something different," said Hudson Walker, "and I wanted to [tick] my mom off."

Submitted for your approval, the Bluestone staff dedicated this page to those individuals who weren't afraid to be different, leaving a photographic representation of who they were as students at the university. THEEND

The archery team has grown stronger each year with .1 number oi talented players whizzing towards their target, the U.S. Intercollegiate Championships held in May. By maintaining their eye on that mark, the team did extremely well with its Men's Compound Team and the Mixed Compound Team, placing first at the Championships hosted by Penn State. ■ Two outstanding additions to the team were freshmen Caleb Heller and Brad Fiala, both considered very valuable as two of the top recruits in the country. Heller was widely considered to be the number one recruit in the country and remained true to his title by winning the individual National Championship on his last shot. Continuing to help the team shine, Heller led the Men's Compound Team to the National Championship, generating a new record lor being the first Men's team to ever win a National Tide in any sport at the university. Fiala earned All-American honors, led the Men's Recurve Team to second Place at Nationals, and individually finished fourth at Nationals. ■ "Our kids outdid what I expected of them," said Coach Bob Ryder of the Dukes' accomplishments in the team rounds. "We worked hard preparing for the team events, and we shot better in the team rounds than in the individual. Our National Champion Men's Compound team had one individual in the top 1 0 in the men's compound individual seeding rounds, while Texas A&M had four and Penn State had three in the top 10." ■ Many archers received All-American honors including Brad Fiala and Steven Zakowicz for Men's Olympic Bow, Rhonda Shaner for Women's Olympic Bow, Caleb Heller for Men's Compound Bow, and Sharon Ryder and Jackie Schlueter for Women's Compound Bow. Academic All-American awards were presented to Caleb Heller, Sharon Ryder, and Steve Zakowicz. "This team was very motivated and their enthusiasm was not the only thing that was contagious, so was there dedication to excellence," said Ryder. END

The Diamond Dukes came back strong and this time they were "hitting" with lull force to make it to the top. With a turbulent season in the minds of the returning players, there was a determination that flooded the stadium at each game as the team strove in teach their goal. Faking into consideration that the majority of the team consisted of freshmen, the Dukes

had a much better season than in the past with an overall record of 37-22 and finishing 12-9 in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). ■ Along with the Duke's triumphant season came many notable players who received awards for their diligence and team-work. The Player of the Year, Ritchie Thompson, was a junior center- fielder and led the team in hitting and was named to the All-Conference and All-East Region

Enhancing these honors presented to him, he- was also chosen by the Major League Baseball Draft in the sLxth round to play for the Toronto Blue Jays. ■ Second baseman, senior Tim "T" Riley, who was also drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 24th round, broke a school and conference record in his career with 1 1 8 stolen bases in 140 attempts. Senior Eric Bender and junior Greg Miller, both joined the 200 Career Hit Club this season. ■ Sophomore Adam Wynegar, was chosen as the most valuable pitcher with a 10-3 record, tying a school record for strike-outs with 105. Wynegar was also named to the All-Conference and the All-East Region teams. Another sophomore, Steve Ballowe, a designated hitter, was also selected to the All-Conference Team. li Standout freshman, Brent Metheny, played third and short stop and was a great asset to the team. "He was the teams closer and broke the school's record for saves in a season," said Head Coach Joe "Spanky" McFarland. Other outstanding freshmen included third baseman and shortstop, Mitch Rigsby, who started 35 games, Chris Cochran, a starting rotation pitcher, and catcher, Matt Deuchler, who started half the season's games. ■ "We are excited that we made a 30 game turnaround in a year and we feel that the program is headed in the right direction," McFarland commented on his overall impression of the season. The Dukes did considerably well in the Conference by finishing fourth out of eight teams and placing 36th in the country out of 285 teams within the National Power Rankings, theend

The 2000-2001 season brought a great deal of change to the metis basketball team. ITie squad lost four seniors, three of whom started last year. The young team only had two returning starters, senior Mickey Dennis and junior Tim Lyle. Another key player was sophomore David Fanning who led the team in three point field goals. Lvle led the team in field goal percentage, points, rebounds (both offensive and defensive) and free throws. The Dukes started off the regular season with a win, rallying from a 22-point deficit to defeat Virginia Military Institute 87-69. Lyle led the Dukes with a team high 20 points, while sophomore David Fanning was close behind with 19 points. The Dukes were plagued with injuries and illness as their starting guard, Dennis, fractured his foot halfway through the season, and sophomore starting guard David Fanning sprained his foot missing four games. "We had a series of injuries that set us back early in the season," commented Coach Sherman Dillard, but as the season progressed the Dukes came together to play strong. ■ In the Dukes Colonial Athletic Association opener the men took on East Carolina University to defeat them 79-72. The men were down by as much as 12 points in the second half, but were led by sophomore Pat Mitchell

who had 2 1 points, 13 of which came in the second half, and 1 1 rebounds. Although the Dukes only shot 31 percent in the first half, they bounced back in the second half to shoot 56 percent and hit 20 of their last 23 free throws. This second half spurt, along with Mitchell and Braxton (who added 18 points and 5 rebounds), led the Dukes to a win in their CAA opener. ■ A key game that snapped a six game losing streak, was the victory over American University 76-65. Lyle and

junior Ron Anderson led the team, each scoring and rebounding in double figures. Anderson had a career high of 16 points and 1'5 rebounds, while Lyle had 20 points and 1 1 rebounds in his second double-double of the season. Braxton also contributed 16 points to the win. The Dukes trailed only once in the beginning of the game as they dominated the AU Eagles. ■ Coach I )illard commented about the end of the season, "This is a hard-working team with a great deal of team spirit. As we closed the season the competitive spirit was always there." n i END

CHEERLEADING

BY. CULLEY

1 lardwork, new and difficult skills and teamwork was the power behind a cheerieading squad. Hie 2001 squad, led by Coach Greg White-sell and Captain Brad Palmer, was known fen its clean, creative and innovative style. The squad awed the crowds at Bridgeforth Stadium in the tall and they entertained the tans at the Convocation t. \nier in the winter. ■ Promoting and representing the school was the squad's primary focus as well as competing at the National Cheerieading Association (NCA) Nationals in Daytona Beach, Fla. in the spring.

■ The cheerieading squad took pride in supporting teams such as football and both mens and women's basketball. In an effort to support all athletes, the squad also attended at least one game or match per season tor all the other sports. In addition to their regular cheer duties, they participated in activities and community sen-ice projects such as Special Olympics, March of Dimes, Monster Mash and The United Way.

■ They also dedicated many hours to their training, always showing a strong commitment to their efforts. The cheerleaders averaged 20 hours per week to practice and games since cheerieading was a year-round sport that required lots of dedication. The squad had Monday and Wednesday practices at dawn and in the afternoon on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, the squad practiced tumbling, stunting, baskets and pyramids. Although

their sport was a huge time commitment, they still managed to have time fbi outside activities including Creek I ilc. on and oil campus jobs and intramural sports. ITic cheerieading squad consisted ol two teams, which used to be called Varsity and Junior Varsity but were changed to the Purple and Cold squads to make the teams more equal and for everyone to have more experience. The Purple team cheered at every football and basketball game, both home and away. The Purple team was required to do backhand spring layouts, heel- stretch fulls as well as a standing tuck. The Gold team cheered at home football games and women's basketball games and was required to perform a back-hand spring. Although members of all teams were required to be able to do back-hand springs, a solid coed partner stunting technique had to have crowd appeal and a cleanly executed appearance. ■ During summer camp, the Purple and Gold teams qualified to attend the National Competition in Daytona Beach, Fla. In the fall, each team submitted a skills video that was reviewed and ranked. The top 10 teams were offered bids. ■ "The cheerleaders worked hard this year to support JMU Athletes both on and off the field. The students who made up the team this year more than held up the tradition of excellence that the JMU Cheerieading program has attained," said Coach Whitesell. END

MAIN FOCUS THIS YEAR IS ON supporting the teams," said Jaclyn Marsano who cheered for the Dukes for two years.The cheerleaders were also active in the Harrisonburg community and participated in projects with elementary students. Photo by Melissa Bates

CROSS CQUN

BY CARTER

< ontinuing the momentum of success under second- year hc.ul coach Have Rinker, the men's cross country team finished yet another winning season. The team was comprised of many standout runners with seniors Mike Fox and Eric Post posting winning times consis- tendy all season. The season was wrapped up with a second place finish at the Colonial Athletic Association championships. Although the two-time defending champion Dukes lost to William atid Mary in the CAA championships, the season was still tremendously successful. Bodt Fox and Post earned All- Region honors, and led the team to a sixth place finish in the NCAA Southeast Region Championships. In addition, Fox earned his second Ail-American honor by placing 25th out of 255 runners at the NCAA championships. 3> The team started oft the season right at the Spike Shoe Invitational, placing second out of 23 teams. Fox placed second in the 5.2 mile race, followed by Post in third and junior Brian Reutinger in sixth. The team continued their success in the 8,000m at the George Washing- ton University Invitational finishing ninth of 19 teams and at the Iona Meet of Champions where the men finished an impressive sixth of 23 teams in the 5-mile race. Fox, Post and Reutinger continued to finish well with first, 31st and 45th places respectively. ■ At the CAA championships, an 8,000m race, Fox finished first in a field of 68 runners, with Post not far behind in fourth place. Both earned All-CAA honors, and helped the team secure second place with the Tribe having seven runners finish in the top 10. Coach Rinker summed up die season by commenting, "Several injuries kept this team from accomplishing everything it could have. However, Mike Fox had one of the greatest cross-country seasons ever by an athlete in this program. He became the first athlete at this university to get two All-American honors in his career." S. Coach Rinker not only had success with his men, but also with the women in his first year as head coach. The women also defended a CAA championship title and looked forward to another successful season, only losing one runner from the top seven to graduation last spring. Senior Keisha Banks and junior Michelle Smith led the team to another winning season. ■ The women also started off strong at the 6,000m Spiked Shoe Invitational placing third out of 25 teams. Smith and Banks both placed well, in fourth and 1 5th places respectively. The momentum continued as the Dukes finished second out of 15 teams in the 5,000m race

FENCIN

BY GUILEY

I lie fencing team wrapped up another season hill of excitement and skill. I lead Coach Paul Campbell entered Ins seventh season this year as the fencing coach, with the help of Assistant Coach Mar)' Anne Walker. The fencing team consisted of three teams, foil, epee and sabre. The toil team consisted juniors Devon Allen, Beth Larson, sophomore Megan Clark, and freshmen Valerie DeRose, Allison Larkin and Jennifer Redmore. The toil squad lost a very valuable fencer from last season, but returned three fencers and three new additions, Jennifer Redmore, Valerie DeRose and Allison Larkin. ■ The epee team included juniors Elizabeth

Conlin, Beth Larson, Erinn Reed, Alison Schwartz and Erin Tully. The epee squad was the most unchanged. The squad did not lose anyone due to graduation. The only difference was the change in some playing time. ■ The sabre team included junior Allison Schwartz and freshmen Diana Strack and Valerie DeRose. The team welcomed Allison Schwartz back to the squad who was named the Most Valuable Fencer last season and was the team captain this season. Newcomers Diana Strack and Valerie DeRose also joined her. ■ Coach Campbell was optimistic at the beginning of the season after being the Virginia State Champions for four straight years and placing second at the National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association last season. They faced a tough season but focused on their primary goals of enjoyment, practicing hard and competing hard. END

Hie field hockey team began their season t His year under the advisement of a new coach and a whole new a taching staff. Irene Hovart joined the athletic staff replacing Christy Morgan who had been coaching the team since 1991. Hovart had been an assistant coach at Connecticut for the past 5 years. "Irene is held in highest regard by her current team and coaching staff at Connecticut. Her ability to recruit and teach the finer points of the game will be key to ensuring that our field hockey program flourishes. She will make a wonderful head coach and mentor for the young women in our program," said Director of Athletics, Jeff Bourne. ■ Under Hovart and new Assistant Coaches Julie Clark and Erica Hebert, the field hockey team consisted of five seniors, three juniors and 1 5 underclass- men. Coach Hovart said, when describing the team, "I believe that when you combine talent and athleticism with dedication to the game and to your teammates, any goal is attainable. These young women have a great respect for demands of this sport, and with the unity they have as a team." ■ Liz Sanders, Theresa Dinallo, and Traci Forchetti led the Duke's offense. Sanders and Dinallo were both seniors and returning starters, while Forcherti was a part-time starter last season. The game against Virginia Commonwealth University was a particularly good game for the Dukes. Sanders, Forchetti and freshman Janelle Perlis each scored twice helping the Dukes to win their fifth consecutive game of the season. Senior goalkeeper, Amanda Latz also had four saves during the game and reserve Kiernan Raffo helped hold on to the shutout. IS Throughout the season, the team faced tough competition playing against many nationally ranked teams including University of North Carolina, University of Virginia, University of Maryland, Old Dominion University and Wake Forest University. The Dukes lost every game against each nationally ranked team, however they were ail close games. The women lost each game by fewer than five goals. The team finished second in the CAA for the second year in a row behind three-time CAA Champion ODU. Seeded second going into the CAA Tournament, the Dukes faced William and Mary in their first game and were able to avenge a loss earlier in the season by beating the Tribe 2- 1 . Next, the team had to face arch rival ODU in the championship game. The women lost 10-0 despite a tough fight in the first half. The Dukes held ODU to just two goals in the first half before the Monarchs exploded for eight goals in the second half T> END

I Ik Pukes and defending Atlantic 10 Champions started their season with one goal: to defend their title. Although, the Duke.s did not win the Adantic 10, they did Finish the season with a winning record of 6-5- 0 and a two-year winning streak at home. ■ The season began with an incredible amount of energy as the team crushed Lock Haven 72-0. Spirits were high going into the next game against Liberty as the Dukes defeated the Flames 38-7. After beating South Florida the year before, the Bulls upset the Dukes winning 26-7. South Florida scored 10 points in the first quarter and 16 in the second, while the Dukes went scoreless in the first half. The defense held the Bulls scoreless in the second half as the Dukes managed to score in the fourth quarter but it was not enough to win. Going into their fifth game of the season, the team was rallied by an energetic Homecoming crowd to defeat Villanova 57-23, which turned out to be their most prominent game of the season. The following week, brought yet another disappointment against Rhode Island, as the Dukes lost in a close game 7-6. Towards the end of their season the Dukes won two out of their last five games, losing the last two games on the road to Richmond and Northeastern. Although the team went through some ups and downs, they played with dedication and heart. Assistant Defense Coach Mike Luckie believed the team began the season strong but lost momentum due to players' injuries and penalties. "You can really tell that the guys love football by how they practice

and how well they perform each weekend," said Luckie. Due to the graduation of running back Curtis Keaton, there was a critical void created in the Dukes' backfield. Senior Delvin Joyce was given the duty of filling this position which he executed successfully throughout the year Joyce also broke

two NCAA records and was the first player in Division I-AA history to accumulate career totals of over 1 ,000 yards for rushing, receiving, punt returns and kickoff returns. In the Adantic 10 victory over Villanova, Joyce played one of his best games as he returned four punts for 135 yards and set the Division I-AA record for total career yards in punt returns with 1 ,488 yards. This allowed him to finish his career with 262 all- purpose yards, the third best mark of his career and the sixth best game mark in the program's history. "It was great because even diough we had some misfortunes during the season that set us back, we were able to pull together defensively to beat Villanova who was ranked high. I am proud of the team and to have been a part of it," said Joyce. H Many seniors played a critical role on the offensive side, such as Charles Berry and Earnest Payton. Berry, the teams' quarterback, led the offense against the Villanova Wildcats to complete 15 of 20 passes for a career high of 274-yards and he ran six times for 40-yards. Berry's total offense of 314-yards created the ninth-best game mark in team history. Berry had a season high at home against New Hampshire where he carried the ball 22 times for 105 yards and rwo touchdowns, which helped the Dukes, win 24-13. Berry finished the season completing 109 out of 185 passes and a total of 1 ,409 yards. ■ The win over New Hampshire allowed the Dukes to set a record for consecutive wins at home with 13. Senior wide receiver, Payton, became the school's all-time receptions leader during the game against Lock Haven to break the previous record of 1 58 receptions. He finished his career with 1 83 receptions as a Duke. Defensively, Chris Morant stood out as he led the team in sacks. Morant, a senior defensive end, had two sacks at Delaware to set a career record of 30 sacks and raised this record to 33 with two sacks against Maine as they defeated the Black bears 22-7 and one sack in a 21-2 loss at Richmond. Along with Morant, senior Ron Atkins and junior Derek Pack were both a dominant presence for the defense. "All of these leaders are very strong and talented players who made fine performers out on the field," said Luckie. I I END

Continuing to achieve excellence in the spring, the men's golf team finished second overall in the Colonial Adiletic Association, making it the team's sixth consecu- tive year to compete at the East Regionals. This success highlighted the selection of the team's coach, Paul Cooden who was honored along with ODU's coach tor the Co-Coach of the Year Award. The team was led by seniors Ben Keefer, Shane Foster, and Scott Polen throughout the season. Polen won the CAA Champi- onship finishing with a score of 64 in his final round. Co-Captain Keefer made his career best with a six under par 66 in the second round. Sophomore Chris Cope, junior Matt Paulson, and Keefer were all chosen for the spring CAA Scholar Athlete Award. ■ The season started in February with the Emerald Coast Collegiate tournament where they placed 1 2th out of 1 5 teams. During spring break the team traveled to Savannah, Ga. for the Wolverine South Invitational and placed sixth out of 17 teams. As they traveled farther south for the Silver Springs Shore Invite, the season took a promising turn for the Dukes. In every following tournament the team shot a 298 or less as they continued to climb to the top. They finished fourth out of 1 1 teams in the Kauai Collegiate Cup tournament, third out of 18 teams in the Pirate Spring Intercollegiate tournament, and fourth out of 14 teams in the Penn State tournament. Further emphasizing their excellent season, the team was also highlighted by their individual season averages. Polen led the team with an average of 74.12, followed by Foster with an average of 74.75 and Keefer with an average of 74.88. ■ The team's roster had changed dramatically over the summer after losing three seniors to graduation, leaving Mike Gooden as the only senior. Team Co-Captains Gooden and junior Chris Cope led a team of new recruits under the head coaching of six-year veteran Paul Gooden.

The season began at the Navy Fall Invitational in

September with a 10th place finish out of 21 teams

and a finish by sophomore Geoff Forcino and Cope to

tie for 27th place out of 104 entires. At the JMU

Invitational the following week, the team improved to

place third out of 1 7 teams

with Cope finishing first out

of 90 entries with a score of

141 . ■ Plowing their way to

the top, the newest members

of the team were freshmen

Jay Woodson, John Scott

Rattan, and Tom Strange who

all tied for 28th place while

Gooden finished 37th. Still

striving for excellence, the men's

team placed seventh out of 1 5

teams at the UNC-Wilmington

River Landing Intercollegiate

tournament, but then fell behind

at the VCU Fall Preview

tournament to finish last.

Although their performance at

VCU did not reveal the team's

full potential, they did not

lose hope and fought to finish

eighth out of 16 teams at the Georgetown

Invitational the following week. "I think the

problems that we had this fall stemmed

from the fact our spring team was made up

of three experienced seniors, one junior

and one sophomore as compared to a less

experienced group this fall," said Coach

Gooden. "With these new freshmen we

have the talent to rise up and have a high

ranked team," he said, th END

Another triumphant season could be attributed to the diligence ot the women's golt team. During their spring season, the Dukes started out slow but built up momentum to bring their season to a great close. At the Southern Miss Lady Invitational in February, the team finished seventh out or 1 5 teams. In the final round junior Maria Zappone shot a final round even par to finish seventh individually. Continuing their success, the team placed second at the Edwin Watts/ Carolinas Classic against 26 other teams, including George State, UNC-Greensboro and Campbell University. Freshman Meghan Adams was the top- finisher tor the team, placing eighth out of 135 entries.

■ The ladies winning streak began at the Elon College Women's Invitational as senior Julie Rossum placed third with a two-day total of 1 54 and Adams placed fifth with a total of 155. The team was led once again by Rossum at the William and Mary Invitational to place first, while Rossum placed second individually and Adams placed third. To complete a great season, the ladies won their third consecutive tournament at the Lady Dukes Invitational in front of a home crowd by an outstanding 17 shots. The entire starting roster finished within the top 20 and gave Adams her first collegiate win and freshman Jessica Lewis a second place finish tor the second time in her college career.

■ Going into the fall, the women's team was still thriving off their record breaking wins from the previous season and entered the new season with high expectations. More pressure was placed upon the team as they aimed

to be the first women's golf team to make it to the NCAA championships. Freshman )ayme Langtord, and sophomores Jessica Lewis and Meghan Adams comprised a dynamite trio that led the team with consistent scoring. "These three girls form an outstanding group right now and they will continue to improve each year," said Coach Paul Gooden. With the added pressure to make it to the NCAA tournament, the team placed eighth in their first two events at the Baytree/ Unlimited Potential Invitational and the Memphis Invitational. ■ Once the team began to relax they were able to finish second out of 16 teams at the Penn State Invitational, and finished 12 strokes ahead of UNC- Greensboro who held third place. Lewis led the team with scores of 74-72-77 to place second, while Adams and Langtord followed her placing in the top 20. Captain, senior Maria Zappone has been a great team player for the Dukes all four years. Coach Gooden said, "Maria has been a real valuable asset to the ladies' team. We can always count on her to fight hard and have every stroke accounted tor." In the Edwin Watts/ Palmetto Intercollegiate tournament, the ladies made a final attempt ot the season to place fifth out ot 13 teams. Adams placed first out of 80 entries with a score of 223 and Langford tied for fifth place with a score of 227. 2 Coach Gooden has coached the women's team for two years now and is looking forward to a promising future. "My goal as a coach is to put together a great team that goes higher in the country's rankings every year," said Coach Gooden. ! END

The 2001 season for the men and women's gymnastics teams were complimented by an influx ol talented newcomers on both sides. The MEN made their first attempt of the season at the Navy Open placing fourth out of six teams. The following week at the West Point Open, freshmen Jason Woodnick had an impressive performance by placing first in the pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and all-around and placed second in the floor exercise and the horizontal bar. The team as a whole finished ninth out of the 11 competing teams which included big schools such as Penn State, University of Massachusetts, Temple University, and Army. The team was once again defeated by Temple at their third away game as the Dukes struggled to improve their individual scores. Although the team lost, their overall score of 181.250 was a team best of the season at that point. Individually, junior Nick Blanton, one of the top returnees and 2000 State Ail- Around champion still continued to lead the team. Blanton finished first in pommel horse and second in the all-around at the Navy Open. At the West Point

Open he placed first in the floor exercise and horizontal bar and placed second in the pommel horse, still rings, parallel bars, vault, and all-around. ■ Although the WOMEN'S team lost four of their previous seniors they were still led strongly by nine seniors and the addition of seven talented freshmen who all together strove to uphold their ECAC Championship and VA.

At Rutgers University the women stepped up and finished first among Rutgers and Cortland. Continuing to keep this thriving pace, the Dukes beat Temple at their next away match by a big margin of 188.575 to 182.850. Head coach, Roger Burke, the ECAC 1 999-2000 coach of the year, emphasized the unity of the team as a solid core of strong and consistent competitors, opposed to individuality. He looked forward to the guidance and leadership of senior co- captains Rachel Malinowski and Ashleigh Suarez, along with senior Ally Betar who led the Dukes throughout the season with their experience and team strength.

The members of women's lacrosse had two very important goals for the Spring season. The women wanted to defend its Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title and to obtain a fourth straight bid to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament. ■ The team had another successful season and continued to climb up the ranks nationally ending with an overall record of 13-5 and a conference record of 6-0, putting them in first for the regular season and CAA tournament runner-up. Along with conference success, the team went to the NCAA tournament for the fourth year-in-a-row, making it to the semifinals and ending with a national ranking of third. ■ Not only was the entire team successful, but many individuals received honors. Four players received All-South Region honors. Seniors Alivian Coates, Jess Marion, and Julie Martinez were named to the first team, while senior Amy Brew was named to the second team. ■ In addition, Coates also received Academic All-District Honors. Four players also earned Ail-American Honors. Coates and Marion were named to the first team and Martinez and Brew were named to the second team. Marion and Brew were named to the AJl-American team for the third season in a row, while Coates and Martinez were selected for the second time. " END

BY CARTER

The nuns soccer team had a tremendous season, with great success for the team and for many individuals. In his 1 5th year as Head Coach, Dr. Tom Martin guided a talented team through a tough schedule. Coach Martin said. "A good barometer ot a season is the speed with which it goes by. A good season will go by quickly. and a poor season will drag on. This season flew by." The team finished the season with an overall record of 17-4-1, and a conference record of 10-1, placing them in first atop the Colonial Athletic Association. The team also went undefeated at home during the regular season. The team's final national ranking by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) was 13th. Many ot their games were close, five of them going into overtime. ■ One component that contributed to the mens success was their trip to England in the summer. In early August, the men traveled to England and spent 10 days playing in five games. The trip was not only a soccer experience, but an educational, bonding experience that helped the Dukes overcome adversity, giving them an edge over their competitors. B The team had depth, returning with many starters and many experienced players. Red-shirt sophomore Josh Kovolenko stepped up as goalkeeper to fill the spot of three-year starter Billy DuRoss who graduated last spring. Kovolenko came out strong, starting every game. Kovolenko tied the school season shutout record with 1 1 shutouts and was nationally ranked among NCAA Division I players in goals-against average. Senior Co-Captain David Wood led the team in goals, ending the season with a total of 12, and his career with 16 goals. Wood, along with senior Randy Steeprow, were co-captains who, according to coach Martin, "were exemplary leaders by example." Junior defender Levi Strayer also had a great season as a key player in the Dukes' defense and was named the CAA men's soccer Co-Defender of the Year. ■ The Dukes had their last home game of the regular season against George Mason University. Junior Reggie Rivers scored twice to give the men a 2-0 win. The game broke a school record ot the best home regular-season play with a 10-0-0 record. Kovolenko earned his ninth complete-game

shutout of the year and the forth-straight shutout for kovolenko and the Dukes. With the wrap-up of the regular season, coach Martin was named the CAA Men's Soccer Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his coaching career. Strayer, Wood, and Kovolenko were all named to the All-CAA First Team, while senior Randy Steeprow and Rivers were named to the AJ1- CAA Second Team. B Although the Dukes did not win the CAA tournament, they did receive a bid to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1996, only the 10th time in the history of the program. In the CAA tournament, the Dukes easily beat Virginia Commonwealth 3-0 in the first round, but tell to William and Mary 0-4, a team that they had lost to in overtime during the regular season. In the NCAA tournament, the Dukes got a first round game at home against St. Johns, a strong team playing in the NCAA tourna- ment for the eighth year in a row. The game was close, tied until the 75th minute when St. Johns put the goal in the net for the 1-0 win. B Coach Martin summed up the season by commenting, "This season was one of, if not the most rewarding seasons, in a sense that this was a fun group. I liked this team a great deal. It was rewarding to see them overcome adver- sity and come together for success." THEEND

WOMEN'S SOCCER

Bl CARTER

Coach Dave Lombardo and the women's soccer team had a rough season, but despite injuries, losing six starters and game disappointments, the team saw individual successes. The team faced a difficult schedule early in the season when they traveled to California and faced two (op 10 teams on the West Coast, California and San Diego State. The lone senior and one of the teams three captains, Beth Burgess led a young team with 1 3 freshmen, six sophomores, and five juniors. Coach Lombardo summed up the season by commenting, "Out season wasn't the success we had hoped for on the field. It was certainly a rebuilding year. The upside is diat we had a lot of freshman get some quality playing experience that will serve us well down the road." ■ Freshman Christy Metzker immediately became a key player on the team as a starter, and led the team in both goals and assists. The team also had great playing from junior goalkeeper Suzanne Wilson, who moved into third place on JMU's career saves list. ■ The team was hurt by injuries early in the season when junior Captain Beth McNamara injured her knee in the first game of the season against West Virginia. McNamara was able to red-shirt, had surgery on her knee and would return next year. Towards the end of the season, junior Katie McNamara also went down with a knee injury. S Junior, Captain Jamie Miller continued to be strong in the midfield, starting every game and finished with three goals, one of which was a game winner. Freshman red- shirt Marisa Lemme also had a great season with five goals, two of which were game winners. In their last game against William and Man', Lemme scored the game-winning goal in overtime to end the tegular season at home on a positive note. The game against the Tribe was a big win tot the Dukes. The women led 2-0 in the second period until William and Mary scored two goals in three minutes to tie the game. That sent the game into overtime when Lemme blew a shot past the goalkeeper to score the winning goal and upset the 1 9th ranked William and Mary. ■ In the CAA Tournament, the Dukes won their first game against North Carolina Wilmington 1-0, a team they had lost to eatlier in the season. However the Dukes lost the second game to William and Mary 0-2. Although the team did not have the success that they'd hoped for in the CAA tournament, two players, sophomore red-shirt, Terri Joyce and freshman Bryant Karpinski, were both named to the All-Tournament team. In addition, Metzker arid Miller were named to the All-CAA second team. ■

"Statistically we didn't have a winning season, but with

. Wilson kicks the ball after yet another

the experiences and lessons we learned as a team and 5ave. Wilson moved into third place

as a family, we had a winning season," said sophomore on JMU'S career saves list and ended

the season with 102 saves. Photo by Casey Papa. fH END Melissa Bates

The team had lour newcomers this season: Bryan Knehr was a sophomore walk-on and freshmen Craig Anderson, Colin Malcolm and Chris Snow. In the fall, Knehr won tour out ol six singles matches in which he competed and senior Andrew Lux won seven of nine singles matches. ■ In fall the team played individual tournaments, whereas in spring they played team matches. Junior, captain Andrew Lux said, "In general, the best matches for me are the ones that are really close, and those that decide whether the team is going to win or lose. II I feel that pressure and the support ot all my teammates standing right next to the court at the same time, I perform best. I get into a mental state ot mind where I lose all nervousness and all I see is the ball, and then I know I cannot lose." Lux came to the university to play tennis in the spring of 1999 as an international student trom Germany. Lux had been a team captain tor two consecutive years, and also the chairman of the Student- Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC). ■ The mens team greatly valued team cohesiveness. This season the team did a great job ot integrating the three new freshmen and the one walk-on and made them part ot the team. "What counts is that we are a team on the court, but also oft the court. I consider all of my teammates my best triends here at school,'' said Lux. tk: END

regional doubles tournament in November. Previously, the tennis team had never won such a high level tournament. Together, Puppo, the number one player, and Dalton, the number three player brought home the doubles Championship Title from the ITA East Regional Tennis Tournament in Williamsburg. First the duo faced West Virginia University and defeated the pair 8-3. After the initial triumph a long line of victories followed including Virginia, University of Richmond, University of Massachusetts, and University of Maryland before defeating the College of William and Mary in the finals 6-3, 6-3. Puppo and Dalton advanced to the finals in four out of their five tourna- ments this season. "This group of four seniors has been a joy to work with and are leaving a legacy for those who follow," said Malerba. TH end

Under the coaching of Bill Walton, the MEN'S track and Held team had continued success in the '00 season. The team placed in the top 10 for cross country, indoors, and outdoors tor the second year in a row. In die Eastern Championships (IC4A, with 100 member schools), the indoor team placed eighth. The IC4A championships produced one champion, Russ Coleman, in the 300m. Roscoe Coles tied the school record in the 200m, David Spiller broke the school record in the 500m and seven runners were named All-East performers. ■ The outdoor team finished seventh in the IC4A championships. Anthony Wallace placed first in the long jump, and the 4xl00m-relay team of Phil Acosta, Roscoe Coles, Darian Parker, and Derek Mitchell also placed first. Two school records were broken: Mike Fox in the 3,000m steeplechase and David Spiller in the 10,000m. ■ The team was hurt by several injuries (both indoor and outdoor), and had to red-shirt some athletes. Several individuals were still able to shine at both the regional and national level. Younger athletes such as freshmen John Fraser, Phil Acosta, and David Raymond, were given the chance to step up and gain experience that should pay off in the future. Coach Walton summed up the season by commenting, "The emergence of team balance, continued team enthusiasm and experience for young athletes were the biggest themes for the season. It all goes well, the strong foundation of our season will be rewarded with greater returns next year." theend

WOMEN'S Track and Field had another successful season under the coaching of Gwen Harris, as the team placed fifth in the Colonial Athletic Association Championships (CAA). The Indoor team tied for 1 5th in die Eastern College Athletic Conference Champion- ships (ECAC), and 30th in the outdoor championships. ■ The season was highlighted by many individual successes. At the outdoor ECAC, Senior Sean Augustus placed third in the long jump. Senior Bethany Eigel placed ninth in the 3000m tun with the sixth fastest time in school history. Junior Keisha Banks placed ninth in the 1 500m run, while senior Shontya Bready came in ninth in the 400m dash. ■ Several runners received All-East honors. Augustus received All-East honors for both the indoot and outdoor long jump, Banks was honored for the indoor mile run, and the 3200-meter relay team of Burkett, Alisha Lewis, Bready, and Banks also received All-East honors. ■ The team also included many individual CAA champions. Augustus, the long jump champion, placed third in the 100m hurdles and was named the CAA Champi- onships' Most Outstanding Performer. Banks was the 800m run champion and was third in the 1500m run. Mollie Defrancesco was third in the 5000m run. Waynitra Thomas was third in the 800m run, Carin Ward was third in the 10,000m run and the 400m relay team of Augustus, Bready, Kinetta Redd, and Heidi Moore placed second. ■ Two team members qualified tor the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) meet. Eigel qualified for both the 5000m and 3000m run, but decided to only compete in the 3000m run. Augustus qualified to compete in the long jump but could not compete due to an injury. Eigel placed 1 2th in the NCAA finals, earning her All-American honors. "It was a great season, we had good things happen. Having two people qualify for the outdoor NCAA and having one All-American keeps us on track to be a good team," said Coach Harris. THEEND

VOLLEYBALL

RYRACHF O DONNFII

The women's volleyball team proved that the loss of three standout seniors and four-year Head Coach Chris Beerman, would not stop them from defending dieir Colonial Athletic Association tide. Losing a coach can be tough as an athlete becomes accustomed to a certain style of coaching, but the Dukes showed that they are still capable ot winning as a team as they finished second in the CAA after the regular season and won the CAA tournament for the second year in a row. ■ Under new Head Coach Disa Johnson-Garner and Assistant Coach Mary Tendler, the team was made up of two seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and six freshmen. The women opened their season with their home tournament the Days Inn/JMU Classic, in which they went undefeated against Maine, Niagara and Delaware to win the tournament in front ot their fans in the Convocation Center. At the Penn State Invitational, the Nittany Lions dominated the Dukes in each set winning 15-1 in the first two sets and 15- 0 in the third set. After this disappointing match, the Dukes struck back to win their next nine consecutive games. The first three ot these wins were against Austin Peay, Southern Illinois, and Kentucky during the Kentucky Classic, where the team made pivotal turning points in order to excel as a team. A disappointment for the team was against East Carolina and George Mason on the road. The women lost to East Carolina three sets to one early in the season but came back to beat the Pirates at home three sets to one. The Dukes faced George Mason three times, losing twice and winning when it counted most in the CAA tournament. ■ The players were plagued with constant injuries, especially the setter, freshman Lauren Ruzicka who had a knee injury, which made it difficult for the team to find consistency when the line-up was continually reshuffled. Although Ruzicka played fewer games due to her injury she still averaged 13.16 assists per game, which made a school single season record and she placed eighth All- time in a single season with 974 total assists. ■ Two of the most significant victories occurred as the Dukes defeated William and Mary at home for the third straight time diis season, which helped the Dukes' seeding in the conference. The very next day the Dukes beat George Mason for the first time this season to win the CAA tournament and claim the tide. The Dukes headed into

the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row with a season record of 21-9. This tournament turned out to be the best outing ot the season even though they lost in the first round. The Dukes played three outstanding sets against the defending national champions, Penn State. Showing absolutely no fear or intimidation, the Dukes played hard and earned the respect of many as they faced a tough opponent in a close loss of three sets 15-12, 15-11, and 15-7. "I'm really proud of the girls tor winning the Conference and competing well to almost beat the top seed. They

definitely went in and strengthened their abilities," said Coach Johnson-Garner. ■ Many of the players had weary outlooks of how the season would actually turn out. "I really didn't know what to expect at the beginning of the season with so many young, new starters, but they definitely exceeded my expectations and I am so proud ot how they competed and developed as Division I players. The way they competed made my senior year very enjoyable," said Gessler. Gessler had an exceptional career leaving the university placing second all-time in solo blocks widi 112, third in block assists with 275 and in total blocks widi 387, and founh in all-rime blocking average of .90 blocks. She became the second player in the school's history to have over 1 ,000 kills and digs, ranking fourth in digs with 1 ,022. Other players were also recognized for their accomplish- ments throughout the season. Junior Larissa Daily was named to the Second Team All- Conference, while junior Dainelle Heinbaugh and Ruzicka were named to the CAA All-Tournament Team. THEEND

WRESTLING

O DONNELL

The team morale for the wrestlers this season was at a high after winning the Colonial Athletic Association title two years in a row and having two defending CAA champions and NCAA qualifiers, seniors Nate Rickman and D.J. Hockman, return to lead the team. Those members who showed influential camaraderie, such as senior Scott Brubaker and sophomore Dave Colabella, both helped lead the team with enthusiasm throughout the season. "Both inside and outside of the room they both proved to be good leaders," said Coach Jeff

"Peanut" Bowyer. At the beginning of the year there were some additions to the team such as sophomore Pat Diaz who transferred from American University and twin brothers, Geoff and Dalton Head, who started each meet, along with freshman Todd Schroeder. ■ Two of the best matches that the team conquered were against Campbell University and NC State University. At the home meet against Campbell, the win proved to show some real talent on behalf of their determination and energy with a total score of 37-3. This also presented a most favorable event for Coach Bowyer who had his 100th win and commented on how exceptional the guys wrestling turned out to be that night. "Going into that match, we wanted to wrestle very well that night and we ended up dominating them! I was very impressed with the performance of the kids. It was certainly a nice milestone to post 100 wins, both as an athlete and a coach," said Bowyer, a previous wrestler in the program and coach for the Dukes for the past 1 3 years. ■ The team pulled together to focus

the season had one of their best returning

teams, the pressures of still being able to

wrestle forced a few guys to red-shirt to

preserve their eligibility as an athlete. "I've

been impressed with their ability to stay

focused through all the diversity of the

situation," said Assistant Coach Doug

Detrick, former 1 997 graduate and wrestler

under Coach Bowyer. ■ "We've had a lot

of peaks and valleys during the season due

to the inexperience of sophomores and

The women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. served as prime examples ol an organization whose members focused on performing community service to an array ot local and national organizations. "We strive to focus on sisterhood, scholarship, and service to all mankind, said senior and President Da'Net Henderson.

The 17 sisters banded together to sponsor and plan a plethora of community service programs through their chapter. Lambda Chi, and under the direction of the national office of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. located in Chicago. "Sen ice is one ot our four principles. It we didn't follow through with these programs we wouldn't be living up to what we were founded on," said senior, Vice President Shavalyea Wyatt.

Each month, the members of the Lambda Chi chapter of AKA tocused on a target cause that had been given at the sorority's national level and incorporated into the Lambda Chi's chapter service programs. An example of such a program was Project SEND, a collaborative effort made by sisters of AKA across the nation to raise money for encyclopedias and dictionaries to be sent to the people ot Africa. Prior to the frigid, cold winter months, the sisters collected coats in October to donate to the Mercy House in Harrisonburg. The sisters visited the Association of Retarded Citizens to play bingo with the patients. "We want to let them know that they are not forgotten in our community, said Wyatt.

In an effort to keep the community aesthetically pleasing to the residents and students of Harrisonburg, AKA participated in the Adopt-A-Highway program through the Harrisonburg Department of Public Works. Twice a semester the sisters picked up the trash that littered Waterman Drive located near the Waterman Elementary School.

The purpose of the Lambda Chi chapter of AKA was to cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards within their sorority. The high standards ot the sisters were challenged and met with every hour they volunteered outside ot their busy student lives and continued their sorority's legacy to serve mankind.

Twice a year the members of the Air and Waste Management Association (AWMA) traveled to the George Washington National Forest to clean up a mile-stretch of land along the Dry River. "It's really sad to see what happened to the land since the last visit," said senior, President Stacey Thruston.

AWMA participated in the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Adopt-A-Stream program in the spring. All members were encouraged to go at least once a school year. "It's rewarding both personally and as a group to make the environment around the Diy River aesthetically pleasing for whoever visits or passes by," said senior, Outreach Coordinator Tim Barrett. AWMA sought to raise environmental awareness internally as an association but extended their views though sponsored pro- grams open to all.

AWMA, a national organization, welcomed all students with an interest in environmental awareness. The organization was awarded the Chapter of the Year Award in the middle-sized school category the past two years at the AWMA National Convention. Each semester AWMA invited a string of speakers to offer an array of perspectives on current environmental issues as well as personal experience in dieir particular career paths. Bill Cook of the Shenandoah National Park Service, discussed the "Bear Facts," an informative night about die misconceptions people have of bears and tips on what to do when faced with a bear in the wild.

The group planned die Environmental Career Fair that allowed students seeking jobs in the environmental field to begin networking for the future. AWMA sought to expose students to some real environmental businesses and what the professional scene had to offer in their journey towards a career in the environment.

AWMA collaborated in an effort to sponsor educational events that would enhance the knowledge of the community about preserving, protecting, and restoring the environment. By Adriana Jouvanis

The brothers ot AKA won awards in academics, leadership, member education, recruitment, risk management, sell government and service. AKA especially excelled in the area ot new membership boasting consecutive successful recruitments.

"Our rush chairs get a lot of the credit," said junior Scott Ewert, vice president of member education. "They motivated the brotherhood to take pride in things we'd done in the past and motivated us to show others that this was the place to be." Tradition always found AKA brothers in leadership positions and extracurricular activities and honor societies. "Our brothers encourage the other activities of our brothers," said senior T.J. Oleksiak, vice president.

AKA hosted two annual fundraisers that produced an impressive turn-out and raised a lot ot money. Their fall event, Turkey Trot, was a 5K Walk/Run co-hosted by Tfi-Sigma and raised money for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In the spring, AKA hosted their annual Lombardi Gras. "This was the culminating activity when we got all ot our brothers focused on one project," said Ewert. The event was founded in 1996 by AKA to benefit one of their brothers, Brian Stewart, who was diagnosed with kidney cancer. The fundraiser featured the musical talents of Everything, Sev, Agents of Good Roots and Ki:Theory. Despite the rainy weather, there was a huge turn-out and AKA was able to send a large donation to the Lombardi Cancer Center.

Everyone was a winner, everyone was proud of themselves, everyone was having tun. Words or encouragement, shouts of success, and great big grins horn ear to ear occurred at the Special Olympics in Charlottesville held in the spring. Alpha Kappa Psi's 15 student volunteers took part in organizing and running the festivities for the event. The amount ot happiness and tears present were so overwhelming from the participants of all ages with different handicaps.

Everyone proudly wore their hard-earned ribbons while enjoying the company of their teammates, coaches, and other athletes. Volunteers not only pro\ided encouragement and enthusiasm to help make the day a memorable one, but also made new friends. "It was so heartwarming to see the athletes' eyes light up when they were told that they received first place in their event," said Dawn Grammer.

Attitude, Knowledge, Pride, Success. Integrity (AKPSI) were the fundamental qualities of the brothers of AKT. Students and alumni demonstrated these traits and incorporated them into their everyday lives for almost 100 years. Founded in 1904 at New York University, AK4* was the first professional business fraternity and grew to over 275 college chapters and 90 alumni chapters. Membership across the decades included people from former US presidents such as Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon to J.C. Penney.

An exciting addition to AKH^ was the newly instituted overseas chapter. The University of Florida assisted the founding of the chapter at University of Manchester, England and the founding ot two colonies at neighboring colleges. The English colonies were installed as chapters in the spring of 2001. The\- were based on the same principles developed by the 10 founding fathers and shared the same objectives of all the chapters, to "develop well-trained, ethical, skilled, resourceful, experienced business leaders.

The fraternity not only "rurtherjed] the individual welfare of it's members, as stated in their objectives, but worked in the community. Organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Bridgewater Retirement Home, and Adopt-A-Highway benefited from the charitable work of the brothers.

The local community was fortunate to have a variety of university organizations dedicated to spending a significant amount of time volunteering. Alpha Phi Omega's Chi Gamma Chapter was an example of such an organization whose members committed themselves exclusive!)' to serving the community in all capacities. The brotherhood performed more than 1 000 hours of service per semester within the university and surrounding areas.

Alpha Phi Omega's National Service Week, held in November, was a week hill ol events that encompassed the spirit of die national service fraternity's mission and the purpose for which it was founded. The dieme, "Serving the Leaders of the 21st Century" summed up the direction the national office hoped to promote for the event. "National Service Week gets us out into the community to do projects in conjunction with the projects we do regularly throughout the year," said senior. Vice President of Service Rebecca Heitfield.

One of the unique events in National Service Week was the "Appreciate A Professor Program." The "Appreciate a Professor Program" encouraged students to fill out a card for a faculty member that deserved their acknowledgment. "We wanted to give students an opportunity to recognize their professors which is not typically offered," said sophomore Lauren Larkin.

In collaboration with the local police department the brodters of A<t>Q held a child identification program at the Valley Mall. Parents stopped at tables so police officers could take current photos and fingerprints of their children. These pictures would serve as identification in case of future emergencies.

AOQ brothers organized a Fall Festival party through the United Mediodist Wesley Foundation inviting Russian and Hispanic children to join in a day of arts and crafts, face painting, and food. The week drew to a close with Fall Festival parties at the Mercy House, a Salvation Army gift-wrapping event for the holidays and a blood drive ar Godwin gymnasium. By Adriana Jouvanis

Stopping at each hole, the children of Big Brothers Big Sisters were offered rewards from a cast of colorful costumed ladies. There were some cats at hole wo. a clown at hole three, a bumble bee buzzing around hole 10, and a couple of witches flying around hole 1 1. "We're having a bewitching time, and we hope the kids are as well," exclaimed freshman, Lauren Barringer, one of two witches. The event marked the first year of the Halloween mini-golf annual event sponsored by Alpha Phi and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Along with community service events, A<t> sponsored a series of fundraisers to raise awareness and money for their national philanthropy. Cardiac Care. Last year, A<t> was named the number one fundraising sorority of the year. "Our hard work, sisterhood, and Aphiasco were the drhing forces behind this award," said sophomore Emily Goodman.

Their main fundraiser, Aphiasco, brought in the most proceeds and the most entertainment of all their fundraisers. Held the week of Valentines Day, Aphiasco consisted of a Mr. and Ms. Heartthrob competition on the Commons. On Wednesday the heartthrobs were locked in jail hoping to raise at least S 1 0 to get out. Students paid S 1 to have them locked up. Also durig .Aphiasco, the community was imited to participate in the blood drive and pick up literature on Cardiac Care. Saturday's 5K run/walk culminated the week-long Aphiasco. "Raising money for Cardiac Care during Aphiasco is great because it's an event that all the Greek community participates in and supports," said senior Meredith Scott.

The sisters of A<E> planned their first annual fashion show date raffle, involving the whole Greek communitv. The Greeks took center stage on the catwalk modeling the clothes and themselves as dream dates for luck)' audience members. The Cardiac Care unit of Rockingham Memorial Hospital was the direct recipient of the money the}' raised

In the midst of community service and fundraising, the sisters found time to plan two semi-formals, a formal and numerous mixers during the year. The sisters went out looking their best and came back with lasting memories to reflect upon. By Adruirui joavanis

Members of the honor fraternity Alpha Psi Omega sought to recognize, cell promote their commitment to the performing arts in the community. AH'Q became a creative outlet for students yearning to excel in theatre and alternate areas of the performing arts. Students with a strong history in any aspect of the performing arts were encouraged to apply for membership to A^PQ. "We're hoping to increase our membership and better represent the Theatre & Dance program," said senior, President Samantha Birchett.

The Alpha Gamma Theta chapter of A*P£2 was founded in 1997 by alumni Grant Jewett. A group of students traveled to the Virginia Theatre Association Conference in 1 996, an event in which Virginia high school students exhbited their work. Jewett and his fellow students returned with aspirations to form a university chapter. Within five months, Jewett and four others began the Alpha Gamma Theta chapter of A*P£2.

The Theatre and Dance faculty looked to A*FQ for assistance in coordinating and running the school's auditions for potential freshman talent. A*PQ was a dependable resource for the department in the past years. Their assistance reached beyond the university and into local public schools. Leah Kirkpatrick, a brother, directed "Of Mice and Mozart" at Keezletown Elementary with the help of President Paul Ftydrychowski. The brothers spent numerous hours widiin the university's performing art productions and extending their talents into the community. By Adriana Jouvanis

Alpha Sigma Alpha was established in 1901 by a group of women at Longwood College. Since their establishment, AZA expanded to include colleges throughout the United States. The primary purpose of the sorority was to maintain the goals of their founders. These four goals fell into the categories of intellectual, physical, social and spiritual develop- ment. Through all of their activities, the objectives of their founders were put first.

Sister Jacki Betts described the 170 sisters ol AEA, saying "the members of AXA are unique from the members of other organizations on campus because of our traditions and the awesome sisterhood we've built." AZA annual events included Rock-a-Thon, a fundraiser for the S. June Smith Center for physically and mentally handicapped children. Betts described the Rock-a-Thon as an event that lasted two full days in which "the sisters 'rock' around the clock in hopes of raising funds for the physically challenged children."

Another event AZA sponsored was Alcohol Safety Awareness Week, an event that hoped to raise the level of alcohol safety on campus. Over the week, the sisters made efforts to notify the public about the degree to which students abuse alcohol on campus, handing out statistical information on The Commons. They also brought a Fairfax County judge to the university to speak about the legal consequences of abusing alcohol.

ASA also participated in Adopt-a- Highway, Trick-or- Treat for Cans as well as activities with the Harrisonburg branch of the Boys and Girls Club. Through these activities, the members of AZA served as positive role models tor their sisters and the entire student body. By Victoria Leavelle

The Student Athletic Trainers Association existed, according to their constitution, "to promote the profession of athletic training to the students of JMU and the community." Their focus was to create athletic trainers that were knowledgeable and well-equipped for their future careers. The organziation's funds were allocated toward professional development, such as attending educational athletic conferences nationwide. "As athletic trainers, we go to national and regional conventions in order to continue our education outside of JMU. Last year we were able to send 12 people to the national convention of 10,000 members, and numerous health care professionals speaking on many educational topics related to the profession," said President Steve Denhup.

The organization was established in the 1 980s as the Sports Medicine Club, but became die Student Athletic Trainer's Association in 1995 with the formation of a formal constitution. What used to be students with a common major uniting solely for the sake of bonding expanded to become a formal student organization undertaking numerous school-related and community projects. "It used to be ust a group of athletic trainers getting together. Now its a lot more organized and we can get a lot more done." said Denhup. "This year we've taken it a step further and done a lot more than we have in the past with many community projects that are in the works."

Their friendships went deeper than the required assignments. "We're like a family. We travel a lot and our 'weekends' are late nights and early mornings," said Denhup. Members of the group hung out, memorized facts for the same tests, and missed the same amount of sleep, all in an effort to prepare for their careers.

True professionals dedicated to their organization, the world could look forward to many well- prepared and hard-working athletic trainers in the future. By Becca Wortbington

The Psi chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was founded at the university in 1944 and in 2000, it was the largest AST chapter in the nation. True to its purpose, the sorority committed themselves to promoting the ethical, cultural and social development of its members.

Upholding their commitment to the university and the community, AST participated in social and local activities that promoted teambuilding and friendship and strengthened their presence in the area. The sisters loved to show their spirit as well, organizing mixers and parties with other Greek organizations.

The sorority was very active in the community, participating in several fundraisers to promote AIDS awareness. Their largest event was the Harrisonburg AIDS Walk held in the spring. The event drew about 500 students and community members and raised $6,000 for Camp Heartland and the Valley AIDS Network.

Other AST service projects included Adopt- A-Grandparent, where sisters visited an elderly person in the Harrisonburg commu- nity and spent time with them. They also raised money for Multiple Sclerosis and participated in the Walk-a-thon held on campus in the fall.

"I think we stand out in that we are a very diverse sorority," said Philanthropy Chair Stacey Brownstein. "We have members who belong to almost every organization on campus. Everyone is really themselves and it brings a lot to the group."

/' ^ iving students the opportunity to worship God, fellowship with other Christians, and

vj grow in their faith, the Baptist Student Union (BSU) was an organization whose purpo was to spread the love of Jesus Christ through campus and in the Harrisonburg community.

"As a college student it is easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing," said Laura Rumbley. "In such an environment it is helpful to have people around to hold you accountable for your actions and I feel that the Lord has gready blessed me with the friends that I have come to know through my involvement with BSU."

A typical group meeting on Thursday night was filled with songs of praise, games, and speakers. Smaller groups, known as family groups, met once a week as well. Other weekly activities included community service projects such as visits to different "outcast" communities just as Christ did. Those communities included the Camelot Nursing Home, Abraxis House Ministry (a juvenile detention facility), and a migrant farm in Broadway (Migrant Ministry).

"We attempt to share our lives with others in a non-imposing way in which others can understand our faith without making them feel uncomfortable," said President Scott Kelly.

As a state organization, there were many opportunities lor students to serve and be served, according to senior Beth Sellers. Her favorite, however, was the Summer Missions Program that gave them opportunities to participate in events such as an international road quest (based on MTV's Road Rules), a traveling children's team, project Lazarus (AIDS ministry) in New Orleans, and a short-term trip to Cuba.

"Initially I became interested in BSU because I attended a Baptist church in my hometown," said Katie Thomas. "Although it's not immune to the normal difficulties that effect any other group, it is a place where I can worship God with my friends, get fed spiritually, and have fun. It's like a home that's always open." By Rachelle Thompson

Originally founded in 1971 by students who were interested in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the club re-evaluated its purpose and eventually became the Asian Student Union. The purpose of the new organization was to promote and educate die community about Asian cultures. President Coleen Santa Ana said that an additional purpose of the organization was to "serve as an outlet for cultural exchange."

As a way of educating the community about the various Asian cultures represented in the student body. ASU organized a series of events called "A Passport to Asia." The events included in the passport were a free showing of Anna and the King, an authentic Asian dinner, a ("acuity student dinnet and, a guest speaker who discussed issues of importance to the Asian American culture.

The highlight or "A Passport of Asia" came in an event aptly named "Egg Drop Soup: A Melting Pot of Asia." In this showcase of societies, several distinct Asian cultures were described through various skits and performances. In one traditional Filipino dance called Tinikling, students used bamboo sticks to imitate the Tinikling bird trying to escape a trap.

According to Santa Ana, the purpose of "Egg Drop Soup" was to show "how each Asian culture is distinct and has its own unique aspects." Santa Ana readily admited'many people think all Asians are the same, when that just isn't the case. The purpose of A Passport to Asia is to open the eyes of the community."

Through its co-sponsorship of career planning events with organizations such as Students for Minority Outreach and the Black Student Alliance, ASU consistently proved its dedication to opening the eyes of the community to the Asian cultures surrounding them. One event at a time, ASU strove to increase the cultural awareness. By Victoria Leavelle

As their Wednesday night meeting began, members of the Black Student Alliance gathered in die Airport Lounge to discuss the current topics on the agenda. At this particular meeting, BSA worked on putting their ideas together for the Parents Appreciation Night they hosted on Parent's Weekend. The program, held in The Loft was filled with food, games, music, fellowship and fun. Parents and students contributed the dinners that competed for best dish. Later, eight students and parents played "Who Knows Their Child Best" followed by an award ceremony where some of the families won superlatives such as "Quietest Family," "Most Look- Alike", "Ms. Fly Diva," and "Family Who Traveled the Farthest".

In addition to Parent's Appreciation Night, at the beginning of the year, Black Student Allia held a "Welcome Back" pool party for students and incoming freshmen. The organization also co-sponsored a Kwanzaa celebration with the Peer Mentor Program and the Center for Multicultural and International Student Services.

The organization started over 20 years ago as a type of student government for multicultural organizations. Its primary purpose expanded to focus on promoting unity among other multicultural organizations and diversity among the JMU community. "BSA has shown me the importance of diversity among the JMU community and the importance of unity among other organizations," said Lamont Finn, president.

They also aimed to retain students of color at the university through social events, educational speakers, and community service.

Sophomore Danielle Baynes said, "I like BSA because it is an organization in which every member's opinions and ideas count. There is such a laid-back atmosphere and still everything that needs to be handled, is handled."

For five days in mid- March ol 2000, 1 1 staff members traveled to the Big Apple to participate in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and College Media Advisers journalism convention. The staff came home with the prestigious Cold Crown Award for the 1999 Bluestone, a distinction awarded to only the top five of the 500 books submitted by schools across the nation.

Riding high on their success, the 2001 staff strove to meet and exceed the standards set by previous years. Attending the Kansas City Yearbook Convention in late July, four staff members began the process of picking a theme and a design concept for the new book. The weekend before classes began, editors treated the staff to an orientation, passing out new manuals created by former Editor in Chief Leah Bailey that introduced everyone to their jobs and the particulars of the publication.

Editor in Cheif Aimee Costello said, "the begining of the year was really crazy for us with the distribution of last year's books, taking class portraits earlier and having an October deadline. However, the staff really pulled together and we worked really hard to stay on top of things." Even though the book came out in the fall instead of the spring, the extra time needed to complete the publication paid off when the book took home First Place in the Best of Show Competition at the College Media Convention in Washington, D.C. November 8-12, yet another accolade for the staff.

While deadlines and the challenge to cover almost every aspect of campus kept the dedicated staff busy, they managed to slip in elements of fun such as pizza dinners, staff parties and scavenger hunts. With most of their work completed by February, they set out to prepare the new editors to follow in their footsteps with another award-winning publication. Costello added, "after many late nights of listening to rowdy disc jockeys from WXJM, too much fast food and Kit Kats, the book is finally finished and looks great. The staff really worked hard this year and I am so proud of everyone." By Christina Cook

BROTHERS OF NEW DIRECTION

Brothers of a New Direction (BOND), a social and civic organization designed to promote unity among men on campus, reached its goals through community, academic enrichment and positive fellowship.

Its goals as an organization were to provide a stronghold for males on campus, promote campus-wide unity, leadership, scholarship and brodrerhood.

Members enjoyed the different aspects of the organization. "Simply put, BOND is an organization where males can go and express their feelings on being a minority at James Madison University, or simply bond" said senior David Cherry. "In the process, we also do community service, fundraisers, and have social events with that money [made from profits going] to charities in the Harrisonburg areas."

Enjoying its 10th year at the university, BOND continued serving the community. "Major community service activities comes from visiting the Boys and Girls Club," said President Douglas Owens. "Our major fundraiser comes from our male/female auction party called 'Chocolate City'." The profits made from the event were split between two charities.

Another annual event was female appreciation week during the second semester. The event attracted a large crowd the last three years, according to Owens.

Approximately 25 members of the organization worked together to continue the organization's success constant. "Our organization is run by our own members and not [just] the executive board," said Owens. "We have goals and traditions we follow but everything we do comes from our members."

Members joined the group because of what the organization brought to the JMU community. "I joined BOND because I felt as though it was a positive organization, that would help men on campus," said senior Tyson Brown.

The organization's membership was open to all university men. "BOND is not just for minority males, all males are welcome," said Cherry. By James David

"W;

e began in the spring of '97 with some cardboard and a boom box," said Pesident Christopher Martin. Linoleum squares and a professional sound system eventually replaced the cardboard arid boom box. As the club grew from five members to 50 in just three years, the talent increased, too. The club combined the talents of DJs, MCs, and breakdance artists, better known as b-boys and b-girls. Each added a new dimension to the dance moves, music, and attitude of the group.

The strong backing of its new membership allowed the club to host the first annual Mid-Atlantic B-Boy Competition, "Circles," in April 2000. Breakdancing crews from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. traveled to compete in front of alumni breakdancers and representatives from Parlay Productions. "We brought really great b-boys to the school which I'm sure many people here haven't been exposed to," said junior, DJ Liaison Hill Bechder.

Proud of their biannual fundraiser, "Breaking on the Commons," the group continued to support the Blue Ridge chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society since their formation as a club. The members agreed to continue the cause out of respect for founder and alumni Josh Rosenthal who began the tradition three years ago after a family member was diagnosed with MS. The club has since raised over $700 and kept with the tradition of exhibiting their moves and playing their tunes on the Wednesday of finals week to draw donations and awareness for MS.

Through dance, music, and social interaction, the dynamic members found their niche in the community, establishing a basis to promote their talents while endorsing their local charity. By Adriana Jouviviis

In it's 78th year, The Breeze was staffed by approximately 1 50 students, including 20 editors. The paper was a biweekly publication diat produced 52 issues a year-. Students read The Breeze weekly for such regular features as the police log while others looked for their entertainment in die student/faculty comment section called "Darts and Pats" featured in the opinion section.

The Breeze also became the home of the new independent-written insert, "TURF which received much attention in its controversial debut. No matter what students looked for, the Breeze had a little something for everyone.

The newspaper owed its success to the goals they set forth for each staff member. Editor-in-Chief Gina Montefusco believed students wanted a staff whose goal was "to report all relevant news in an unbiased way that reflected campus activities." Students trusted The Breeze to provide them with a reliable source of information about events going on around campus. The dedication shown by the staff was the reason tor such strong student support.

The Breeze helped inform die campus about such important university events as Homecoming weekend, helping to make it a success. The newspaper also covered stories about incidents such as the Forest Hills "riot."

When asked about future plans for the publication, Montefusco said she wanted to "revamp die website and increase involvement." The Breeze gave students a voice as well as an oudet for their writing skills and Montefusco hoped this practice would continue. Throughout it's 78 years The Breeze provided information vital to die community and made it their goal to continue to do so in future years. By Sean Barnes

CATHOLIC CAMPUS

The mission of the Catholic Campus Ministry (CCM) was as set in stone as the Ten Commandments that it followed. "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 relationship with Christ." Members of the group carried this out by conducting mass every Sunday at 1 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. in the PC Ballroom, and evening prayer, in addition to the social events it sponsored each semester.

Matt Stephan, special events chair of the ministry, said that most of the events were student-run, including mass. "Students are the ushers, the Eucharistic ministers, the readers. Being totally led by the students has a nice appeal to it," he said. The other events organized and led by members of CCM included everything from game nights to sporting events to fundraising through T-shirt sales and care packages.

Student Assistant Grace Love said, "The thing that most people come to are the semi-formals that happen twice a year, but participation varies with the activities." Some of the activities with larger turn-outs included horseback riding, pumpkin-picking, a field-trip to an Orioles game and ice skating. By far, one of the biggest events CCM held was the annual Thanksgiving Supper. Stephan said, "It's a huge interfaith supper for all the campus ministries. We invite everyone to come and it's a huge Thanksgiving meal for all of us to come together and break bread."

When describing the typical turnout of such events, Stephan agreed that it varied from event to event. "It's always kind of up in the air until people show up," he said. But Love insists that the amount of people is never important. What matters was that they spread out and affected people in the community. "Every year different people come out to every event," she said, "so you can tell that we are really branching out to many interests." By Becca Worthington

Merengue, salsa and bachata were the romantic dances that tantalized onlookers, enticing them to learn the footwork and hip movements of each dance. Club Latino continued to fulfill the desires of students to learn the popular dances of Latin America through Salsarengue. The event originated in the Fall of 1995 as a way of advertising the newly formed Club Latino. Members booked die former Highlands room in Warren Hall and offered free Latin dance lessons. The crowds grew larger each semester, as did the club.

In 1 997, the club made the decision to move the lessons to PC Ballroom and increase the size of the program. Alumnus Melissa Cruz invented the name Salsarengue, combining two popular Latin dances. The first part of the name came from the dance, the salsa, which originated in Puerto Rico and Cuba and the latter part of the name, merengue, originated in the Dominican Republic. The name stuck, giving the club a signature event that quickly became their most successful program.

Latin culture gained popularity in mainstream culture from the emergence of pop celebrities Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony adding to the motivation to keep up with culture and learn the sexy Latin dances. "Without Salsarengue I don't think the students would be exposed firsthand to the music or the dancing of so many Latin cultures," said sophomore Juan Kuilan.

As the club evolved, the members took the Latin lessons on the road as a fundraising program. They went to dorms to teach dance lessons for donations. Salsatengue continued once a semester and it too became a fundraiser. As money accumulated, the club finally had enough to plan a banquet for a charity called Celebracfon Latina in 1 999. The proceeds from the banquet went to charities such as Migrant Education in Harrisonburg and the Red Cross for the victims of Hurricane Mitch and the Venezuelan flood victims.

"There's more involvement in Salsarengue today and it will continue to be an annual event that celebrates one pan of Latin culture," senior, President Maggie Ortiz said. The club brought awareness to the Latin culture and reminded people that it was a growing presence in society both nationally and locally. By Adriana Jouvanis

CANTERBURY EPISCOPAL

Canterbury Episcopal Ministry (CEM) provided students and faculty with a place to worship, serve and fellowship diroughour the year. The faith and dedication of its members brought the group of 35 people together while also providing a positive and welcoming Christian atmosphere for students and members of the Harrisonburg community.

President Karen Hutcherson said, "We love to go into die community to help those who are less fortunate than us. In God's spirit, we want them to know we care." Members of the Canterbury Episcopal Ministry also fellowshipped with students from Eastern Mennonite University, Blue Ridge Community College and other nearby schools.

Formed in the early 1990s, members of CEM took pride in their family-like atmosphere and strong bond that motivated them to reach out to others. One way members served the community was through the home-cooked meals they prepared after every Sunday church service. The meals gave members a chance to relax and enjoy each other's company in a welcoming Christian atmosphere.

Another CEM tradition that members enjoyed was decorating their home for Christmas. The beautiful lights on their house were displayed as an example of the glowing spirit and testimony in each member. Members sang carols at the nursing home and around the community. CEM also adopted a family over Christmas and brought them presents.

Members served the community by making bagged lunches for the homeless and visiting the elderly in local nursing homes. "Our true motivation is doing what we believe is God's spirit," said Hutcherson. Through their work together, the members learned the value of teamwork and trust through group building activities during the semester.

What is it that vou believe in? How can I get involved in our country's political system? How can I find out about the issues that affect me? What happened with the election in Florida? Questions like these made politics a puzzling subject for college students.

Luckily, the College Democrats were available to answer their questions. A chartered member of the Virginia Young Democrats, the goal of the club was to increase awareness of democratic politics, both on campus and in the Harrisonburg community. Encouragement of participation in local, state and national elections, specifically through support of the Democratic Part}', was a main focus of the group.

Last (all, the organization was asked by the Virginia Democratic Party to attend the Kennedy-King dinner in Northern Virginia. There they met President Bill Clinton. Eight members of the club attended, including President Jaycee Stevens. "Attending the Kennedy-King dinner stands out as one of the most memorable things our club has ever done," said Stevens.

Along with being a strong force of democracy on campus, the group also increased awareness about local issues, the importance of voting and political platforms. Members of the College Democrats helped at the local Democratic headquarters and with the polls for the presidential election. Last year's election set precedents in the election process. Student awareness about the substantial impact of politics on society increased because of the intricacies of the 2000 election process.

"Even if you don't believe in every single thing that the Democratic Party has done, we are representing the ideals and beliefs that the party stands for," said Stevens. The organization found its members mainly through word of mouth and through political events on campus. Students who were interested in the Democratic Party and the ways in which it works were welcomed to join the group. "We don't really recruit members, usually people just hear about us through word of mouth," said Stevens. By Christina Olson

CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL

The 65 members of the Contemporary Gospel Singers spread the word and love of God under the direction of Telly Tucker. Their theme scripture was "releasing the past, restoring souls, renewing minds" based on Isaiah 65:17-18. Men and Women practiced every Tuesday night and welcomed all those who wanted to join them. Performing around town and campus was fun for the members but not a requirement. Some students sang to praise and escape the pressures of school. "I love to sing, and it's a real stress reliever," said senior Kelly Clingempeel.

A favorite event of the group was anniversary weekend in March. The weekend celebrated the group's founding date and existence. "Anniversary Weekend celebrates the group's existance and devotes a whole weekend to celebrating God," said Clingempeel. The singers enjoyed themselves while participating in voice workshops and performing for their parents and peers. The group fellowshipped together during the weekend's culminating event, University Sunday, where members attended a church service on campus and performed later that afternoon for their parents and friends.

During parent's weekend CGS dedicated dieir annual concert to the memory of Demetric Walker, a former member who passed away during the summer. The group created a scholarship in his name to honor him. One of the singers favorite events was their anniversary weekend in March. Anniversary Weekend celebrated the groups founding date and existance. "Anniversary Weekend celebrates the group's existance and devotes a whole weekend to celebrating God," said Clingempeel. The singers enjoyed rhemselves the entire weekend while hanging out, participating in voice workshops, and performing for their parents and peers.

According to members of Dance Theatre, much more effort went into a Dance Theatre performance than it seemed. The group spent countless hours rehearsing in preparation for each of their performances. Typically, the members spent 6-10 hours a week on their toes, but it got tar more strenuous than that when practice hours were increased in preparation for a concert. "Sometimes we have residencies, which means that there is a guest choreographer who comes in and works with us from 3-10:00 p.m. every day," said President Courtney Hand. All of this preparation was just one example of the dedication members of Dance Theatre had to their art.

When it came to their performances, they weren't any less time consuming than the practices. The Contemporary Dance Ensemble performed every spring and the Virginia Repertory Dance Company performed in the fall. Both performances were in Latimer-ShaefFer in Duke Hall. On top of that, twice a semester the members of Dance Theatre coordinated productions in the studio theatre of Godwin Hall that were student-directed, student- choreographed and student-produced.

Outside of numerous performances year-round, the Dance Theatre also performed outreach events and fundraisers as a way of interacting with the community. Hand said, "We do community outreach programs for groups like the Association for Retarded Citizens where we do creative movement. We do different things to get people moving and interacting a few times a semester." The Dance Theatre group also held workshops on a regular basis as a way of sharing various techniques from jazz to hip-hop to massage skills.

The members of Dance Theatre formed an incredibly strong bond as a result of their performances and outside activities. "Dance is such a physical thing," said Hand. "We're always there, and it's not like we're in class working together on a paper. Moving together is a lot more organic than writing a paper. It creates much more intimate friendships. It becomes something where those people understand you best, because people who don't dance won't understand that lifestyle." By Becca Worthington

Wouldn't you love to find your perfect match? How about having your choice of over 30 men/women with the ability to narrow your choices down to the perfect fit? Delta Chi made the dreams of single students come true by organizing and hosting a spin-off of the popular game show "Singled Out," creating "The Delta Dating Game." Co-hosted by Tri-Delta, the show took place in Grafton-Stovall, which was packed full of screaming friends and excited contestants. The dating pool paraded on stage performing such hilarious acts as giving massages to the Big Baby, singing, doing the limbo, and hula-hooping, all to impress the single contestant looking for a match.

Proceeds from die performance benefited Delta Chi's main philanthropy, St. Jude's Children's Hospital. A grand total of over $2,000 was raised from the event and donated to foster research and treatment of children widi cancer.

Nationally founded in 1890 as a law fraternity, brothers believed that their fraternity must "promote friendship, develop character, advance justice, and assist in the acquisition of a sound education." Their service activities included visiting the Boys and Girls Club, organizing registration for the MS Walk, participating in the homecoming parade, representing students through Student Government Association, and showing support in die AIDS Walk.

Recreational activities varied from competing in intramural sports to membership in InterVarsiry, Office of Residence Life, Students for a Free Tibet, Breakdancing Club and Cadets. AX Executive Director, Ray Galbreth described the fraternity as an, "opportunity to learn by doing, rather than having things handed to you or done for you. We are called a social fraternity not because we go to patties but, rather, because we are supposed to be preparing our members for life in society." By Melissa Bates

The Gamma Tau chapter of Delta Delta Delta established in 1998 was the newest and largest sorority on campus with 175 members. The sisters accredited their numbers to the strength or their sisterhood. "We are very diverse and very involved women so we draw in all different kinds of women," said senior Amy Tomanio, president.

One of the purposes of AAA was to develop each member into a more womanly character. This was accomplished by spending time with each other while learning to be giving of themselves. The members participated in events like "Spa Night" where the sisters served one another while having fun. "Tri-Delta nutures us and develops us into women and leaders," said senior Beth Wilkin, vice president of chapter development. "Tri-Delta has provided lots of opportunities for us to grow in those ways."

One such opportunity was the AAA community service project. Kid's Cafe at the Boys and Girls Club. At least eight sisters went every Wednesday to serve dinner to under-privileged children. "It was a great sisterhood activity and we all felt like we'd given something back to our surrounding community," said Tomanio.

The sisters rallied their time and efforts again in March for the Delta Dating Game to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. The fundraiser, based on the popular MTV show "Singled Out," raised $1,500 for the hospital.

A favorite activity for the sisters was visiting their adopted grandmother, Ruth at White Birch Retirement Home. "Everyone loves visiting with her as much as she loves visiting with us," said Tomanio. "It rekindles our sisterhood to be around Ruth, and it's a great way to give back to one of our older sisters," said Tomanio.

The sisters served the community and each other through community service and sisterhood activities. Just like their sister Ruth, they wanted to continue the great tradition of AAA. By Laura Lindsey

The sisters oi Delta Gamma got involved on campus and in the community through their philanthropy and sisterhood activities. Members ol \l served their national philanthropy. Sen ice lor Sight, through their annual fundraiser Anchor Splash, reading tor the Valley Voice, volunteering at the Staunton School lor the Deal and Blind, and screening children for visual impairment.

"Service for Sight is a very important part of AI~. It unites us with other ATs across the country, whether collegiates or alumni," said senior Meredith McRoberts, president. During the week-long Anchor Splash fundraiser in October, fraternities and sororities competed in volleyball, basketball, "best eyes" penny wars on the Commons, and everyone's favorite, the talent show competition. AI~ donated $2,000 which was divided nationally and locally to organizations related to Service lor Sight.

"Anchor Splash was a wonderful experience to get together, have fun and at the same time help out a great cause," said junior Leah Cohen. Both semesters, the group Prevent Blindness Virginia held clinics and certified sisters to screen children for visual impairments.

Ar also promoted their sisterhood through ritual activities, meetings and chapter retreats. During the spring, the chapter went to Northern Virginia to relax and build their sisterhood. They played sports, participated in team building activities and hung out with one another.

Scholarship was highly valued in AT. They provided study-buddy lists, study hours and hosted a scholarship brunch celebrating those sisters who excelled in academics.

Ar united their time and spirit to raise funds and awareness for Service for Sight while also promoting sisterhood and scholarship throughout the year. By Laura Lindsey

elta Epsilon Chi prepared its members for their future business careers through practical experience and application. AEX was the college equivalent of the high school business club DECA, die association of marketing students. A large number of. freshmen who had been active in DECA joined the group, helping membership increase from five to 85.

The new organization came together to compete in business simulations, case studies and prepared business situation competitions. Members sold cookies in die lobby of Zane Showker twice a week for a month to raise funds to send members to competitions. Their fundraising efforts culminated in the creation of the first annual scholarship of $500 awarded to in-state high school seniors.

AEX hosted the state conference in Febmray for two days because they were the most established chapter out of all Virginia universities. The two day competition produced the state representatives that went on to compete in the national competition.

"Competing in marketing and business competitions will help me a lot in what I want to do in the future," said junior Allison Miracco, treasurer. AEX also partenered with Zeta Tau Alpha for the first annual Dance-a-thon benefiting the Association of Retarded Citizens.

As students passed through the Commons they could not help but notice the huge wooden seesaw that students were sitting on. Those students were the brothers of the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity and they were not merely plaving around. For an entire week, each of the brothers of the lota Kappa chapter of A2XI took shifts in the seesaw-a-thon they held every fall in honor of Michael Matthew Brown. Brown, a brother of AZn, died of leukemia in 1991.

The brothers held their 8dt annual Michael Brown Seesaw-a-thon during the fall. "We raise money through donations to give a scholarship to a student in the College of Business who holds the same ideals as Michael Matthew Brown," said Brooke Hansell, vice president for pledge education. "This year we have decided to take a portion ot the money raised to donate to cancer research in Brown's name."

AXn also participated in an event tor the fight against cancer. Held in the spring, the 5K 4 The Cure race raised money to benefit the American Cancer Society.

Founded on April 21,1974 at Madison College, AZn was a business fraternity organized to foster the study of business in the university, to encourage scholarship, social activity, and the association of students for the mutual advancement by research and practice.

"Professionally, AXIl has helped me because I have advanced on job interviews and have had good job opportunities," says Justin Luecking. "Socially, I have made life-long friends. The benefits gained from being a member of the fraternity exemplified its motto "Work hard, play hard." By Rachelle Thompson

The Equestrian Club had the distinction of being the only organization which dealt directly with animals. The coed club was only three years old and already in it's second year of competition in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (1HSA). In the 1999-2000 season, (their first year competing), the group won fourth place in the region among eleven other schools.

"Competitions are difficult because when you go to other schools to compete, you have to use their horses, which you are unfamiliar with riding," said senior, Vice President Kacey Chilton. Despite these difficulties, the Equestrian Team persevered in its competitions.

Regional distinctions were not only awarded at the team level but also to several individuals. If a team member accumulated a high number of points in the competitions throughout the year, he or she became elligible to compete at the regional level. Team members Elizabeth Bearer, Maria Sinopoli, Jennifer Milligan, and Chilton competed in the regional championships. Competitions were held throughout the year and each team in the region had the opportunity to host one of die 10 competitions during the year.

In addition to competitions, die club also held non-equestrian-related service events. They started a relationship with the Harrisonburg Boys and Girls Club, hosting a halloween party in October and planned several other events with the group.

In its third year, the organization continued to establish itself in the community and build its skills within the competitive region while giving even the inexperienced students the opportunity to express appreciation for equestrian sports. By Katie Russo

111 their third year making a cappella music together, the men ol Exit 245 took their talented voices around the region performing on college campuses and at high schools. "We're like ambassadors. Touring allows us to get the schools name out there, said junior, Music Director Matt Fraker.

Exit 245 traveled in caravans to area campuses in Virginia such as the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, William & Mary and Mary Baldwin College. In October, Exit 245 received an invitation to perform at an a cappella concert sponsored by a female a cappella group from the University of Pittsburg, which was their furthest gig from the university. The concert drew in nearly 150 people and brought together a cappella groups from surrounding areas of Pennsylvania. Before Exit 245 sang, they warmed up with frisbee toss. "We're obsessed with frisbee. We bring one everywhere we go and it throw it around wherever and whenever we get a chance," said junior. Public Relations Manager Jason Mannix.

The tradition of tossing a frisbee back and forth into the crowd originated during a performance at Virginia Tech. Ever since that concert, Exit 245 has kept a running total of consecutive completed darows at each show. "Its crazy to see the students diving and sacrificing themselves to catch the frisbee for the sake of saving their reputations in front of everyone," said Mannix.

Between tours Exit 245 found time to record their second CD at a recording studio in downtown Richmond. The amount of time spent in the studio allowed for some play in between songs. The sixteen members crammed themselves into a small recording studio and managed to amuse themselves with competitive games of Taboo and Trivial Pursuit. The heated games caused sudden outbursts that made it onto some tracks forcing the members to rerecord their songs without the background noise.

The group spent some extra time in the Richmond area performing at several local high schools and middle schools. To the members of Exit 245, these shows meant more than extra rehearsal time outside the studio, "It's important to educate the young grade school guys that singing is okay, it's cool," Fraker said.

As ambassadors and educators for the university, Exit 245 shared the beauty of a cappella music beyond the community and continued to entertain local audiences with their love of singing. By Adrianna Jouvanis

ETA SIGMA

Eta Sigma Gamma (HZT) served as a health-related service organization for students with health majors in the College of Integrated Science and Technology. The members of the group provided health awareness service events to students and to the members of the Harrisonburg community.

HXT organized several blood drives throughout the year beginning in October. A major event for HXT was the Health Forum in January. This three-night panel was geared towards those with majors in the health sciences who were undecided about their specific career choice. Each night, HIT brought two health professionals including nurse practitioners and therapists into the health sciences audito- rium to describe their careers and what was involved in their branch of health care. This was the first forum of its kind. The success of the event led members to plan a second forum in the spring.

"We had a really good turnout last year. On the second and third nights, the auditorium was almost full," said HXr president Erin Bailey.

As a way of giving back to the Harrisonburg community during die holiday season, HSF held a three week long toy drive on campus for the Salvation Army. "The great thing about it is that it will benefit kids right here in the Harrisonburg community," said Bailey.

HXT originated in Muncie, Ind. at Ball State University with the purpose of teaching and researching health concerns. HIT served as both an aid to those with majors in the health sciences while also temembering to give back to its community. By Kate Russo

While most people headed inside when the temperature dropped and the days got shorter, 35 devoted flutists donned their winter wear and headed into the Harrisonburg community to deliver holiday cheer. Each year during the holiday season, the Flute Club traveled in pairs known as "Holiday Duets" to deliver carols as Christmas presents. Along with the "Holiday Duets," the club held "Flute Club Subs," which led hungry musicians with busv schedules.

The club was also the proud sponsor ol Pan-o-rama, their weekend flute festival, held every live years. People of all ages traveled from up and down the East Coast to attend workshops, hear performances, and socialize with fellow flutists. In 1999, the club received the Outstanding Educa- tional Program Award for hosting the festival. Celebrating their 25th anniversary at the 2000 festival, Pan-o-rama IV, they debuted their new CD, Sounds and Colors II - the music of Andrew Downes. The festival also featured the world premiere of "Song of the Eagle," a piece commissioned specifically for the Flute Club's anniversary.

When Pan-o-rama was not held, the Flute Club sponsored an event called Flute Fling. During Flute Fling 2001 , the club was proud to have famed English flutist, Clare Southworth, as its featured performer. She coached performance classes and also presented a concert. The weekend also offered many learning experiences for flutists of all levels and abilities.

The Flute Club was established in 1975 in order to enhance knowledge and appreciation ot the importance of music and the flute. The flutists were lortunate enough to share their music with many audiences including The Royal Conservatory in Birmingham England, university students and faculty, and the Harrisonburg community.

Each semester Gardy Loo provided an artistic outlet and resource for students who had a variety of talents. Founded in the spring ol 1 997] issues of the arts magazine were published and distributed to the student body. Editor Brianne Russell said, "We don't like calling it a 'literary magazine' because it has art and photography as well as literature. \\ e trv to make it representative or all the arts at JMU, which is why we include feature articles on other artistic expression."

Feature articles focused on groups, events, and issues within the artistic community in an attempt to draw attention to various forms or expression. All aspects ot the community were crucial to the spirit of the publication. In the past, feature articles have included everything from a debate on the National Endowment tor the Arts to the lyrics of a talented D-hall karaoke singer to an award-winning speaker that the arts magazine sponsored in the community.

Gardy Loo demonstrated their commitment to the arts annually in the Gardy-sponsored springtime Arts Week. This event began in response to the gala celebration that welcomed Dr. Rose as the new president. While the administration made a big deal about how they were going to change things, a group of passionate students made a big deai about how the arts were being neglected. Chrissy Danbury, Arts Week co-chair, said, "The people who started Arts Week were really concerned that the arts were getting shut out of the 'new' concept of the university. Afts Week developed from the need tor people to recognize how important the arts are."

Through the years, the magazine continued to gain popularity. One thousand copies of each issue were given out but due to an increase in the Gardy Loo budget, the number was increased to 1,250 for the 2001 issue. The issue size doubled as a result. As for submissions, Russell said, "There is typically the same amount of poetry, but in terms of prose and photography we have gotten a lot more in." Russell believed with the increase in issue size and number, the popularity of die magazine would most likely continue to rise. "I'm almost in shock still that people know what it is," Russell said. "When I am going to a Gardy meeting I always feel compelled to explain, 'It's the arts magazine.' I get so shocked when people say, 'Yeah, I know. " By Becca Worthington

The Gymnastics Club flipped into competition this year, for the first time since being established as an official club in 1998. The years of effort taken to create the club gave both male and female students the opportunity to become involved in an athletic atmosphere at the competitive level of gymnastics. The ability of the gymnasts ranged from beginner to USA Gymnastics Level 10.

Their season started in late fall and went into the spring. The club competed in competitions at Virginia Tech, Miami of Ohio and Ohio State. Top performers included senior Peter Batista, junior Lisa Janz, sophomore Genna Rendino and freshman Tara Greenberg.

Because the team is a club, it had to pay for its own expenses, including the costs of travel. One way the club helped to raise finances was through the Multiple Schlerosis Walk. This event not onlv helped increase funds but their friendships as well. "MS Walk opened a lot of the members eyes to how prevalent MS is in our society. It was also a great team bonding experience," said President Lisa Janz.

The roster consisted of nearly 60 students with over 30 students practicing year round. Most of the members used the club as an opportunity to get back into the sport after a few years off. The club also offered the opportunity to compete in a more relaxed atmosphere than the varsity gymnastics team.

"The diversity of people involved is the most exciting aspect of the club," said Janz. "We have people from every facet of this university. It's exciting to be able to bring them all together with the common bond they all share - gymnastics." By Kristin Unger

student association

The primary goal of the Indian-Pakistani Student Association (IPSA) was to increase the university's awareness about students of Indian and Pakistani descent at the university. Hoping to increase campus diversity, die members participated in programs that would educate the community about their culture. Senior Saiba Kamal said, "It is my responsibil- ity as a student of Indian descent to inform the student body about what my culture has to offer."

Through their participation in events such as "A Passport to Asia," sponsored by the Asian Student Union, the members of IPSA showcased significant aspects of their culture. The show included skits with cultural themes and a segment on the fashions and tradition.il dress of various Asian countries.

Members of IPSA also performed dances that displayed the cultural flair of their respective nations. The elegant clothes worn by members of IPSA in the fashion portion of 'A Passport to Asia" ranged from everyday apparel to eveningwear.

IPSA also participated in annually co-sponsored activities like World Jam, an event that allowed an ethnically diverse group of DJs to exhibit their unique spinning skills to international music. Held in PC Ballroom, World Jam was just another way the members allowed students of diverse populations to witness a sampling of what their organizaiton had to offer.

Through its participation in various campus activities, Kamal believed "IPSA has a positive impact on increasing the awareness of the cultures represented by its members." By Victoria Leavelle

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

Although small in number, the International Student Association (ISA) strove to provide a place for international students to feel welcome and understood on an American college campus. The members of ISA represented their respective countries with pride, hailing from nations spanning the globe such as Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, China and represented them with pride.

During weekly meetings held in Taylor Hall, the members of ISA discussed issues that were central concerns of international students. By participating in events sponsored by other organizations, the members of ISA promoted their concerns while also maintaining an environment diat was welcoming to all members of the university's student body.

Events like 'A Passport to Asia," sponsored by the Asian Student Union, provided members of ISA with an opportunity to teach others about their countries of origin. In conjunction with the Office of Residence Life, ISA students living in Ashby Hall, the International residence hall, coordinated events such as cultural dinners for their residents.

In addition to educating the campus community about their organization, ISA held fun activities to provide its members with a entertaining atmosphere. On the weekend before Halloween, ISA threw a party for its members. According to President Gruschenka Saraiva, "ISA is committed to uniting the diversity of our campus and that of the surrounding community." By Victoria Leavelle

KAPPA ALPHA

order

Dieu et les dames. In Latin, these words meant "respect towards God and women." These were also the words that the 80 members of the Kappa Alpha Order lived by.

KA, rounded in 1865, was a nationwide fraternity. Chartered in 1995, the university chapter achieved many fine accomplishments including the Marshall Award in 1999, which honored the most recognized chapter of KA in the nation. The brothers were also honored with the Chapter of the Year Award at the 2000 Greek Awards which was based on scholarship, risk manage- ment, member education, community service and campus involvement.

But what made KA so worthy of all these prestigious honors? "I think we are a really respectable group of guys. I know and I respect each and every one of my brothers," said Howie Krasilovsky. This mantra shined through in the charity events and volunteer work that the KA brothers performed. One or the largest events was the KA Rose Bowl, a campus wide philanthropy to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Associa- tion. The Rose Bowl was a powder puff football tournament along with other fundraising events held on the Commons.

KA was also heavily involved with Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers Big Sisters. The brothers also volunteered at nearby churches every Saturday helping at the local soup kitchens for the poor. "Every Saturday, KA brothers are sent to help out. It is something that is just a part of our weekend now," said Krasilovsky.

Among the most important part of KA, however, was the bond or brotherhood. "I joined KA because it was very evident that there was a strong bond of brotherhood. To this day it is the most important thing to me, far more important than any parties," said Krailovsky. "Having 80 guys I know I can always count on makes college much easier." By Christina Olson

True to their creedo, "Forget about starving . . . Just be an artist," the dO brothers of the art and art history fraternity. Kappa Pi committed themselves to the promotion oi art in the university and the surrounding community.

"I think the most unique aspect of our organization is that we have a variety or artists from different areas such as art education, art history, graphic design and scultpture," said President Laura Lee Gulledge. "Our fraternity brings the visual arts areas together and is useful to gain feedback from people in completely different areas. It's also a good way to network in die department."

Brothers offered their artistic services to campus organizations like Theatre II. painting signs to announce upcoming shows. They also hoped to give facelifts to the bare walls of university buildings such as Taylor Hall and Ashby Hall by designing and painting murals. Student art sales, held every semester and coordinated by Kappa Pi, gave members a chance to make money from their work.

During portfolio review days at the Corchran School of Art in Washington, D.C., brothers registered incoming freshmen from all over the country and promoted the university art department.

One of the most rewarding Kappa Pi projects was their annual "Very Special Arts Festival" held in the spring. Members hosted approximately 200 special education children and led them in a day of art and dance activities and music and theatre workshops. "It's great to get them together in one spot. It makes them feel like they have a sense of control over things when the\' become involved in art projects," said Gulledge.

When they weren't creating works of art, brothers came together for social events including the pledge-brother field day. Members participated in a pie-eating contest, a scavenger hunt, and a pumpkin-carving challenge. "I think the best pumpkin was a performance piece called 'deadi of a pumpkin.' We smashed it and danced around it so it was very conceptual," said Gulledge.

appa Kappa Psi, the coed National Honorary Band Service Fraternity, maintained an outstanding brotherhood with 42 members. The closeness began at induction, a nine-week process during which every rushee had to meet with every other brodier lor one-on-one time. "We are all really close. We are each other's best friends, we live together, we party together," said Historian Sarah Pratt. To be considered for membership, prospectives had to be involved in a music ensemble and be willing to work hard.

KK^F not only provided service to the whole university music department but to the community as well. Pratt described their Adopt-a-Highway project location as "out in the boonies down Port Republic Road." She continued, "We have our own designated area and once a semester we go as a big group and clean up while trying to find interesting dungs. We've found some wierd stuff. A lot of tobacco products, beer bottles, and for some reason, recently there has been a lot of pornography. It's really strange what we can find."

As their biggest time commitment, the KrCF membership consisted of the marching band crev that performed the dirty work at performances for football games. Pratt explained. "There is the coke crew to give out drinks to all 450 members, a pit crew that carries all of the equipment to put it on the truck and take it off of the truck. There are yard markers to mark the field for practice and uniform people to give all of the members their uniform parts. Stuff like that."

Other KK*P duties included volunteering to usher for recitals and musicals that regularly took place in Wilson and holding car washes and raffles to raise money for the university's entire music department. Considering their endless service to the school and the community, KKAr' was one of die busiest and most selfless clubs on the campus. By Becca Worthington

Through their activities and fellowship, the Lutheran Student Movement provided a welcoming community for all students.

One of the activities the 25-member organization participated in was its annual banquet. Held in the spring for all Lutheran students, faculty, and staff. "We enjoyed a catered meal by JMU Special Events, followed by a speaker and entertainment," said President Paige Pitsenberger. "Last year our speaker was The Reverend Dr. Cecil Bradfield, a former professor in the Sociology department and our former advisor. Also last year, the BluesTones performed for us, of which our Vice President, Dana Wiggins, is a member."

Having dinner with a local family was another popular LSM get together. "An event that I know everyone always looks forward to is having dinner at this old farm house owned by a family from our church," said Adrienne Merrill, treasurer. "The food is great and it is a good time to have fellowship and get to know everyone better."

Members of the LSM also involved themselves in a community service effort to raise money for a refugee family from Rwanda. The organization held a coffee house in the basement of Muhlenberg Lutheran Church where they hold their services. "We transformed [the church] into a coffee house setting," said Merrill. "People came to listen to members of the church and LSM sing or play instruments while enjoying some coffee or hot cocoa. Everyone was welcomed [too attend]."

Pitsenberger, who had been involved with the ministry since the fall of 1997, helped plan all ministry events. Her job as president included organizing meetings between officers and their campus pastor, Reverend Martha Miller Sims. "I work with Pastor Martha and the student executive committee in planning the calendar around the school and church schedule so that we may hold activities that help us enjoy fellowship together and in an interfaith manner, if we plan activities with other religious organizations," said Pitsenberger.

project

Madison Project reigned as the "original" a cappella group on campus. Just three short years since its formation in the fall of 1997, Madison Project founded a cappella at the university, becoming a strong presence in campus activities. The all-male group hosted shows in campus residence halls and sponsored a Christmas benefit concert at Grafton- Stovall Theatre. They enjoyed performing with other musical organizations as well such as the all-female a capella group, Note-oriety. Madison Project was also highly recognizable outside of the university, performing in shows up and down the East Coast at universities and public venues.

At the National Collegiate A Cappella competition, the men attended with the hope of matching last year's semifinal finish. For their performance pieces, the Madison Project chose well-known songs from the 80s and also tried to incorporate more recent material into their shows. New selections included the pop songs "(Absolutely) Story of a Girl" by Nine Days and "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys.

Since the group regularly received requests to perform, they had to vote on which ones to do. According to Business Manager Jamie Stokes, "we try to accept as many as possible because we obviously love to sing and that is our purpose." The group raised an outrageous amount of money for different organizations and causes including Camp Heartland, Breast Cancer Awareness, Women's Club Volleyball and a mission trip to Mexico.

Before each concert, the group had a big huddle to get them focused. Following the show, they greeted audience members and encouraged them to give feedback. The Madison Project was a very diverse group of men and contrary to popular belief, did not consist solely of music majors. Accounting major Jamie Stokes believed that with his participation in the a capella group he had "nothing to lose except the opportunity to sing and have a great and rewarding time!"

Madison Project projected their love for music with high energy perfor- mances. "We focus on musicality as a group, but we also like to put good emphasis on our energy because we feel that getting the crowd into the show is a big part of it and makes it that much more exciting" said Stokes.

" ^ pint through tradition! Tradition through Spirit!" It was hard for students to avoid

\^J hearing this phrase shouted at them as they passed through The Commons each afternoon during Homecoming week. True to their motto, die members or the Madison Society were easily identifiable with their trademark purple and gold hats and shirts, rallying cheers and spreading spirit to the students of the university.

This year, out of all the medium-sized groups participating in the Homecoming week activities, the Madison Society won the spirit competition. Tradition was important to the spirited bunch whose main purpose was to promote all aspects of campus life and unite the students, alumni, faculty and staff together. All of the dimensions of the university were combined by increasing die enthusiasm, the pride and the respect of each student for one another and their surroundings.

The Madison Society participated in the James Madison Week festivities, sponsoring such events as the purple and gold breakfast for the president's office. The group then dispersed themselves throughout campus and showed their personal spirit amidst the campus crowds walking around, hoping their school pride would rub off on their fellow students. "I look forward to seeing everyone's spirit and dedication to die university each year because it's an important part of our image as a fun campus," said junior Leigh Anne Epperson.

Without the enthusiasm of the 75 Madison Society members, campus would have been a dull place. "I love this organization because I can show my pride for school and promote that spirit on campus," said junior Erin Conley. By Christina Leone

club

A proud member of the Virginia Division of the National College Lacrosse League (NCLL), the Men's Lacrosse Club finished their 1999-2000 season in second place. Over the past four years the club grew into a competitive force and opened its fall season by defeating the defending league champions, George Washington University 9-6.

The team consisted of 30 active members and traveled to West Virginia on the last weekend of October to participate in the 16th Annual Mountaineer Invitational Lacrosse Tournament. They were defeated in game one by West Virginia University alumni with a score of 6-5 but had a comeback against Dayton University in game two with a score of 7-6. Unfortunately, their loss to the West Virginia University alumni kept them from competing in the semifinal round of the tournament and Loyola University went on to win the championship game.

The club provided an environment for players to continue their lacrosse experience while in college. Anyone from the community interested in joining the team had to attend a practice time within the first three weeks of that semester and speak with the team president. The team practiced three nights a week for two hours in Bridgeforth Stadium. Anyone from the university was welcome to practice but only those players on the roster were allowed to play in a game.

The club took the game off the field and into the classroom by providing educational programs tor the Boy Scouts of America and the Fredericksburg Youth Lacrosse League as well as programs for the community about the history of the game. By Andrea Flanary

The Men's Club Soccer entered the 2000-2001 season as the reigning club National Champions thanks to last season's 2-0 victory over Florida Sate in the championship in Statesboro, Ca. This year, the team traveled to Austin, Tx. to defend their title.

Coached by club President Sean Mannion and Vice President Tobey Van Santvoord, the men began their season in September at the Pennsylvania State University Tournament. The team finished the regular season with an 8-1 record.

The team traveled to the club National Championships to defend their title as the best club soccer team in the nation against the top 64 teams from the entire country. Seniors Cameron Stoddart, Christian LaFrienre, Greig Warwick and MVP of the National Tournament, Sean Mannion, were all named to the All-Tournament team last year and remained on top.

"We hope to continue to stay on top and be able to compete in the National Tournament every year," said treasurer John Sentz.

The Men's Soccer Club not only worked hard on the field, but they also worked diligently off the field as well. They helped the Harrisonburg Rescue Squad by raising money so they could better serve the community. As a student-run organization, their fundraising efforts included selling concessions at football and basketball games, T-shirt sales and car washes. These events helped raise money for the team to travel and provided uniforms tor the growing number of participants that ranged from 45-50 players. By Kristin Unge,

NAACP

minority

The 20 members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) were dedicated individuals devoted to improving the political, social, and economic status or the adverse effects of racial discrimination.

The NAACP as a whole was the nation's strongest and largest civil rights organization. It was founded in 1909 in New York by a group of black and white citizens committed to social justice.

"The NAACP has allowed me to be an active party here at JMU as well as in the Harrisonburg community bv making it possible to reveal and address minority concerns such as voter empowerment, police brutality and sexually transmitted diseases," said junior Jessena Godfrey. "It has also assisted in helping me to learn better leadership skills."

The Voter Empowerment Program held in the fall, the Black Faculty and Staff Breakfast held in the winter, and the Black Faculty and Staff Banquet/Image Awards in the spring were three important programs that the organization held. The Voter Empowerment Program hoped to enhance the voting power of the university community. They did this by educating students on the importance of registering to vote or requesting absentee ballots. They also brought speaker King Salim Khalfani, the executive director of the Virginia State NAACP, to campus to speak about the importance of voting.

The breakfast provided the staff and faculty members the opportunity to fellowship and to get to know one another better because they didn't always have the chance to sit down and talk.

During the Black Faculty and Staff Banquet/Image Awards, minorities were recognized for exhibiting outstanding leadership and community service.

"I've been involved in the NAACP since my sixth grade year," said senior DaNet Henderson, president of the chapter. "When I came here I kept my interest going because it is not only a powerful organization, but it is also an organization which unites people under a common cause: equality and justice for all."

The Men's Water Polo ream enjoyed their 22nd year at JMU in which they competed, practiced and volunteered together.

A club of 25 members, the team played in the Atlantic Division of the Collegiate Water Pole Association, competing against teams from the University of Virginia, Washington and Lee, GeorgetownUniversity, and the University of Maryland. Players on the team described themselves as highly motivated and competitive, playing year- round from September to May and traveling all over the country. (

The team was excited to compete in several spring invitational tournaments. The University of Florida, University of Tennessee and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill were the team's favorite destinations where they competed and toured the areas.

"The team developed into a tight-knit group of friends and teammates both in and out of the water," said senior Brian Wallenhorst, president. The team continuously participated in team building activities such as pasta dinners before games and spent free time together on weekends.

The Men's Water Polo team was open to experienced as well as inexperienced playefs. "We all started off at the same level and built our skills together," said senior Luke Martonik, treasurer. "It helped build teamwork."

The men held fundraisers throughout the year to fund their travel and equipment costs such as poster sales and consession stand sales. The team also raised money to adopt two children through the Valley AIDS Network for Christmas and volunteered at the Special Olympics held in Bridgeforth Stadium in the spring.

Some students were used to making things up on the spot but one group took that idea to a whole new level. New & Improv'd, the university's improv troupe, kept audiences laughing and amazed with their improvisational skills. "Our primary purpose was to entertain the community through comedic improv," said junior Adam Suritz.

A packed audience at Wilson Hall experienced the group's magic when they opened for Saturday Night Live comedian Darrell Hammond. "It was incredible." said sophomore Kim Esp. "We've wanted to play Wilson Hall and it was such a great opportunity. Opening up for an SNL member was an honor [because] I love the show. I've never done improv for such a large crowd, but it felt right. I had so much fun up there and I just hope the audience had as much fun as we did."

Their performance in Wilson Hall was President Bill Howards favorite moment of the year because it was a realization of a troupe goal. "We began last year very humbly, wishing to one day, in the distant future, to be able to perform on Wilson Hall's stage," said Howard. "Within a semester-and- a-half, we got there. It is a real tribute, not only to the members of the troupe, but also to our fans."

In terms of their supporters, the troupe was grateful for having good audiences to work with when they performed. "Without an audience, an improvist is nothing," said Howard. "We couldn't have gotten where we are without our loyal fans, trudging out to all those TDU shows and spreading the word about us to all their friends."

Improv skills were not only utilized in front of large crowds. The 10- person troupe developed group traditions that included using their improv skills on each other. "We love doing DIPs, Devilish Improv Pranks, after rehearsal," said Suritz.

During rehearsals, the group used the time to get to know the other actors while strengthening their improvisational skills. "We normally just play games that build improving skills and games that we perform," said Howard. "The rehearsals are designed to prepare us for audiences, and also to allow us to get to know each other's acting style, thereby allowing us greater freedom, and fluidity on stage."

In the future, the group hoped to perform in the community. "We have some [community service projects] in the works," said Suritz. "We hope to do shows at the hospital, and some other fundraisers." By James David

Honoring the efforts o the National Society of Collegiate Scholars joined the university, obtaining their charter in 1999. As a society of hardworking students who enjoyed having fun while giving back to their community, the organization nominated potential members in the spring with a grade point average of 3.4 or higher.

During its first year in existence at the university, the society's members strove to serve the Harrisonburg community, collaborating with other groups on campus by sponsoring projects. The group continued their efforts at a local soup kitchen and extended their volunteering efforts to the Boys and Girls Club where they tutored children after school and took the time to get to know them.

Another program the honor society participated in was "Planning for College Success," a part of Colin Powell's American Promise Program. Heading over to Montevideo Middle School once a week, students mentored seventh graders and gave them college advice such as what they would need to do to get in the school of their choice. "This program is about teaching young students how to realistically go about dieir dreams. I'm helping one student who wants to go into the Navy and get a scholarship and another one who wants to be a doctor," said senior Holly Hargreaves.

Hargreaves had a passion for the society from its inception and continued to pass her enthusi- asm on to her fellow collegiate scholars. Hargreaves stressed the importance of doing well academically and it's benefits for the future. "We want students to continue to strive for the best and have the opportunity to become one of the thousands of other students whose main purpose is to work for scholarship, leadership and service within the community," she said.

Where is Gibbons Hall? Does Wal-Mart take Flex? These were jiist some ot the questions that plagued freshmen every year. With an extensive knowledge of campus, the Orientation Program Assistants, better known as the OPAs, were there to provide answers to campus newcomers.

OPAs ran the orientation activities during the summer and the week before classes began in the "Map It" and "Pack It" programs, and throughout the first semester in their "Live It" program. These were designed to ease freshmen into their new community by acquainting them with an experienced, enthusiastic upperclassman eager to help the university's newest residents.

Each year a new group of students was selected for the 25 OPA positions. For four weeks in August and early September, the members spent all their time side-by-side. Training lasted a week-and-a-half and prepared the OPAs to anticipate almost any scenario that could possibly develop during their time with their freshman group.

A typical day was exhausting as they had to report to D-hall at 7 a.m., run through training activities into the afternoon and attend the daily debriefing at 8:30 p.m. According to OPA Adam Suritz, "Five hours of sleep a night was considered a miracle." The group also took road trips to Blue Hole, Reddish Knob, Purcell Park, and to a Fourth of July celebration in Staunton.

The OPAs came away from their experience with new friends and the feeling that they had sufficiently prepared a new freshman class for life at the university. By Andrea Flanary

Note-oriety, the first university female a capella group, was known for their performances featuring pop songs that included Lauryn Hill's "Cant Take My Eyes Off You," the Dixie Chicks' "Cowboy Take Me Away," and Madonna's "Like a Prayer."

The group was founded in the fall of 1998 by 2000 grad Bonnie Estes and senior Kelly Meyer. As a student-run organization, Note-oriety earned most of its income through performances and its first CD, Overquota .

The 1 5 girls of Note-oriety held three university concerts a semester including Sunset on the Quad during Homecoming week. They also traveled to perform at other schools along the East Coast such as William and Mary and the University of Virginia. Their benefit concert, Kids for Camp Heartland, featured five other acappella groups and raised over $1,000 with the majority of the profit going to Kids for a Camp Heartland.

When they weren't practicing, the girls liked to keep each other informed about everything. Members often received as many as 20 e-mails a day from fellow members. "We like to joke about how many e-mails we send each other everyday," said sophomore Erin Wilkinson. "This is why we tided our CD 'Overquota,' because we so often go overquota due to the mass of correspondence we have!"

"Note-oriety is an extremely close knit group of girls who not only share an incredible bond by our love of music, but through our friendships as well," added Wilkinson. By Kristin Unger

For anyone who wanted to join an a capella group, the members of the Overtones were more than welcoming. "I joined the Overtones because I wanted to see what a cappella had to offer, but I never knew what a tightly-knit group I would become a part of," said junior David Hartley. This sentiment resounded with all the members of the organization as they quickly became more than just singing partners; they also became friends.

The Overtones were one of two coed a cappella groups on campus. The group consisted of 16 members who sang tor the Shenandoah Valley area. Founded in 1997, they were the second oldest a cappella group. Adding to their success was the fact that the group attracted new members every year.

In addition to perfoming in the Shennandoah Valley area, the Overtones also sang at schools such as the University of Virginia, Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland-College Park, and even travelled as far away as Amherst, Mass. to entertain audiences.

The Overtones' greatest accomplishment was being chosen to be on the BOCA 2000: Best of College A Cappella compilation CD. Their song, "Ghost," originally released by the Indigo Girls, was chosen from thousands of other a cappella songs. Making it an even bigger honor was the fact that they were the first campus a capella organization to be chosen to be a part of the national CD.

Other than performing and singing, the group was extremely close and "really the best of friends," said David Hartley. "I also think that we have an added element to our sound because we are coed."

To serve Harrisonburg and the surrounding community, the group also participated in fundraisers with the other a cappella groups on campus helping with Camp Heartland, a camp tor children infected with the HIV virus.

Members tasted success as a result of their hard work, dedication, and a strong commitment to their group gave them the opportunity to form fast friendships. By Christina Olson

Whether ihe\- were showcasing their strong musical talents with instruments like the trumpet, the saxophone, the piano or their own voices, the men of Phi Mu Alpha dedicated themselves to encouraging and actively promoting music in America. Since 1969 the members had accomplished their goal through the highest standards of creativity, performance, education and research.

Twenty members strong, OMA was the only all-male professional music fraternity on campus and any man interested in music was eligible to join. The fraternity was founded at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Mass. on October 6, 1898 and was the largest professional music fraternity in the world with over 93,000 initiates, 30 provinces and more than 200 university and college chapters in the nation.

The Sinfonia Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the fraternity, provided thousands of dollars for research institutions that matched grants in support of chapter projects, and the commissioning of new works. One of their largest community projects was a concert sponsored for the Sheetz Family Christmas program. Other services included installing "in-use" and "open" signs on practice rooms, moving the harpsichord for various events, and setting up chairs. The men were also known to lend a helping hand to their professors outside of class. Through their good works, <t>MA continued to spread the appreciation of music throughout campus and the Harrisonburg community. By Andrea Flanary

The social sororities on campus were united by one group, the Panhellenic Council, whose purpose was to act as the governing body of the eight greek chapters on campus while promoting scholarship, education, service, and unity. The organization was formed in Chicago, bringing togedier women from each sorority to compose a group that would provide leadership and guidance.

There were 1 0 executive board members and a council representative from each sorority chapter. The group met weekly throughout the year, orchestrating projects such as fall sorority recruitment. Such an undertaking included leading interested women in organized groups through the various sorority houses.

Throughout the year, Panhellenic brought speakers to campus to discuss topics of interest to sorority members but opened them to the social fraternities through the International Fraternity Council. Topics covered ranged from discussion about leadership to die importance of rituals to time management and alcohol-related issues.

As all the sororities had community service requirements for members, the Panhellenic Council helped each chapter find a place in the community to send sisters to complete their hours. They volunteered at such places as the Boys and Girls Club, the Salvation Army, and retirement communities in and around Harrisonburg.

The council promoted a good camaraderie between sororities, as well. "Each semester we pair up sister sororities, so that they can co-sponsor events related to philanthropy or community service, or even just hold movie nights together and get to know each other," said senior April Frazier. Panhellenic Council served as a unifier and a moderator for the social sororities on campus, helping to make Greek life a rewarding experience for all the women involved. By Katie Russo

PHI SIGMA

Pi

Based on a tripod of scholarship, leadership, and fellowship, Phi Sigma Pi was a thriving national honor fraternity. With 73 members, the coed fraternity was founded at the university in 1995 as the Beta Rho Chapter. There had been 85 chapters that developed around the country since 1914. The brotherhood set their sights on combining a group oi individuals with the same interests and primary goals to impact the community through their cardinal principles.

<t>2XI contributed a lot of time to the community and held sevetal fundraisers throughout the year. They worked closely with the Multiple Sclerosis Society, their charity, on the MS Walk. They also held their own event for the MS Society called the "MS Sleepout" where they slept on The Commons all night in order to collect spare change.

The fraternity was also the key volunteet group at Farm Aid 2000, a concert that hosted many popular bands in Northern Virginia. Volunteering at local nursing homes and Mercy House, sponsoring food and toy drives and participating in Adopt-a-Highway were also among their community services.

The fraternity had a very diverse brotherhood because it was open to all majors. Prospective rushees had to have at least 12 credits from the univer- sity, a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, and an interest in upholding the fraternity tripod of scholarship, leadership, and fellowship.

"Each brother brought their own specialty to the group, but also took something great away from it," said President Kelly Tober. By Andrea Flanary

Phi Epsilon Kappa was a professional national fraternity for men and women engaged in pursuing careers in health, physical education, recreation, safety and sports management. There were approximately 150 students in OEK, most of whom were kinesiology majors.

The purpose of OEK was to build professionalism among its members and establish a network of professionals for student graduates hoping to find kinesiology-related jobs. OEK built profession- alism and friendships by getting involved in many community service activities and campus events.

Every year, <5EK participated in Adopt-a-Highway, the MS Walk and Special Olympics. Twice a semester, members of <t>EK cleaned up a one-mile stretch of road of Port Republic near South View apartments. <&EK members also showed their support for multiple sclerosis by raising money and walking in the annual MS Walk in October. Helping with the Special Olympics in Bridgeforth Stadium every spring was also one of their rewarding community service projects. Last spring, <I>EK members assisted their adviser, Dr. Steve Carney, with coordinating the Special Olympics for Harrisonburg's District IV division. Members set up equipment, acted as buddies to the athletes, presented awards and ran the athletic events.

OEK also supported the campus varsity teams and honored faculty members. <J>EK cheered for all of the athletic teams on campus by having members at almost every sporting event. They also showed their appreciation for their teachers by decorating their office doors. According to Pledge Coordinator Tanya McGann, "Many years ago, <J>EK was the largest professional/social fraternity on campus and was referred to as 'the cult'. So we decided to honor that idea by starting Master Cult Day in which we honor our faculty members for all their hardwork." By Aimee Costello

RESIDENCE HALL

association

Did you ever go to .1 campus event like the Gong Show and wonder which organization was responsibe for sponsoring the event? The Gong Show, in addition to numerous other campus-wide events, was organized by the Residence Hall Association (RHA), formerly known as Inter-hall Council. Although members of RHA included all on-campus residents, the only active members in the organization were those who were on the hall councils of their residence halls. The main purpose of RHA was to provide both social and educational programs to all students who lived on campus through hall council programs as well as campus-wide activities.

The Events and Fundraising committees planned and funded each activity RHA sponsored. Their activities included the Gong Show as well as various service-related projects. The previous year, RHA sponsored an activity' called Kristi's Christmas that allowed various halls to sponsor children and spend a dav with them. RHA President Maria Scherer said that each child was given a box of necessities that included "everyday items that we take for granted as well as money to buy holiday presents for their families." Another of the RHA committees was the Spirit committee that was responsible for RHA group bonding activities that fostered school spirit. The Publicity Committee in turn was responsible for publicizing RHA sponsored activities and events throughout campus.

Being a member of RHA was an opportunity to attend conferences for campus leaders and members of similar organizations across the county. According to Scherer. "The RHA gives campus leaders the opportunity to grow through the state, regional, and national conferences that its members attend." She added, "[RHA is a] great organization to become involved with because it provides a voice for people on campus." By Victoria Leavelle

As a coed national marketing fraternity open to all majors. Pi Sigma Epsilon sought to provide practical marketing and sales experience to its membership. Nationally founded in 1952 at the University of Georgia, the university's Delta Rho chapter gained its charter in March of 1990 and had built a strong brodierhood over the years.

While its purpose was to create and market the projects created by its members from conception to completion, the organization was also community oriented. Brothers provided a sober driver program on designated weekends, sponsored several blood drives and conducted a very successful raffle to raise funds for their organization. "Our community service efforts are growing. We sponsor a blood drive twice a year and have been very successful so far with about 60-70 donors each time," said President Michelle Self. "We've also adopted a local family for Christmas and that has been really gratifying."

The organization had earned several awards and distinctions, notably the bronze level of achievement from die national chapter for the past three years. This included planning several social, marketing and service activities in order to qualify.

Bonding activities were also an important part of the brotherhood. "We are a close bunch. We regularly have bonding activities such as tailgating, trips to Reddish Knob, retreats and formal events," said Self. Social activities also included attending sporting events together and participation in TILE intramural teams.

Hoping to continue their tradition of excellence, members sought campus-wide recognition. "We hope to continue recruiting by making ourselves more widely recognized by sponsoring even more events," said Self. By Christina Cook

Ii was their sixth year and the Roller Hockey Club played hard, traveled like mad and worked toward expansion in the process. The club played against many large schools while members kept their goals of quality game play and helping a charitable cause.

The club was a third year participant in the Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ECRHA) which ottered members the opportunity to travel to destinations such as New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Nevada. The club's travels took them to meeting places against such rival schools as the University ol Delaware, the University of Maryland, Drexell University, Pennsylvania State University and Virginia Tech.

In order for the club to keep up in the ECRHA action during the regular season, the club worked hard in practice dividing into A and B teams, that practiced separately twice a week.

The team was self-funded, each member paying for his own equipment and traveling expenses. However, self sufficiency did not stop the group from showing their charitable side. During the holiday season, the club participated with the Warm A Winter Wish project. The club's effort in the project included sponsoring a person in need by giving them gifts for Christmas.

An admirable quality of the Roller Hockey Club was their ambition. Holding a high national position, their goal was to compete as one of the final four national teams in Anaheim, Calif. "I think we have a pretty good chance to go to nationals," said Jason White, club president.

The future of at least one member was enhanced by involvement in the club. Senior Dan Dychowski planned on playing for a professional roller hockey league after graduation. Dychowski served as goalie during the regular season.

Further plans for the club included beginning a women's team and increasing membership. The team also hoped to set up a rink outside to increase available space to practice, citing that their usual practice areas at the Duke Drive tennis courts and UREC were limited in space.

The Roller Hockey Club spent much of their time on the road and practicing to maintain their national status. While they were busy much of the year, they still had time to project goals tor the future and benefit a local charity. By Terrence Nowlin

Sigma Alpha Iota, the international women's music fraternity, took pride in maintaining a warm and supportive atmosphere, which probably explained the high number of members who remained active in their sisterhood throughout their college career. "I've been doing this since mv freshman year and I love it," said junior Stephanie Kluesner, treasurer. "EAI gives me a way to be in contact with the community. It's my outlet. I enjoy helping out in any way I can."

Started in 1958, the sisterhood thrived on supporting musicians and promoting musical experience. Fifty-five members strong, ZAI shared their time and talents with the university and local community.

Promoting musicals and shows was only one way die members interacted with the community. LAI sisters also participated in monthly community service projects that included sponsoring and maintaining a rest stop at the campus MS Walk at the end of October and regular visits to local nursing homes. "We sing and perform at local nursing homes such as Avante and Bridgewater," said senior Jessica Kendal, editor of ZAI. "Being out with the community is probably our strongest purpose. It's the most rewarding." They also helped with area food drives and a "sweater- and-book" drive with local radio stations.

The sisters also invested their time and efforts into fundraising. Not only did they raise money to sustain their own organization, they also did it to help benefit others. "We just donated S300 to the School or Music through fundraising," said KJuesner. "The money donated went towards instrument repair."

Open to anyone with a love for music, the sisters prided themselves on the diversity within their organization. "One thing we're proud of is that a third or the sisterhood are non-music majors," said Kendal. "We have a growing number. We're not just limited to music majors."

With a variety of service projects and fundraisers, the sisters of XAI brought not only music, but a great deal of joy to the community. By Cyprian Mendtlius

The aims of Psi Chi were summarized in two Greek words: psyche, suggesting "mind" or scholarship, and cheires, meaning "hands," symbolizing fellowship and research. H'X was the National Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship and advancing the science of psychology. The university chapter of *FX was one of approximately 875 chapters in the United States. Members had to complete 40 credit hours, (nine of which were in psychcology), maintain a 3.5 grade point average in dieir major and a 3.25 overall GPA. The most important qualification was a love of psycology and a commitment to service. New members meeting the qualifications were inducted every semester. The total number of memberships preserved at the national office during the first 66 years was over 187,000, and many of these members went on to distinguished careers in psychology. A good representation of their commitment came around the holidays.

The 50 members of ^X participated in two holiday projects. In conjunction with the Psychology Department and Chi Sigma Iota, they sponsored the Holiday Giving Tree program collecting gifts for a mondi from their members and donating them to the Roberta Webb Daycare Center. The second project was a major undertaking that the club handled all on their own. For the Adopt- a-Family program, members contacted Harrisonburg Social Services and recieved a disadvantaged family drat they could sponsor for Christmas. President Kim Castora commented on the willingness of the organization to help. "Every member bought something and it reminded us of how grateful we should be for what we have." The family drey recieved was a single mother and her two children. Members shopped lor gifts together, wrapped them and delivered them personally.

4*X truly enjoyed involving their organization in community causes in addition to their regular club activities. "We were glad we could do something for a family in need during the season of giving," said Castora. By Teisha Garrett

Bicycling and basketball brougbt the brothers of Sigma Nu together. ZN sponsored Hoops for Kids, a three-day basketball marathon held in the fall to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. The brothers marketed the event with flyers and even got local radio station, Q101, involved by having them broadcast live from the courts. Mr. J s Bagels donated food for the players and the brothers during the three days.

ZN set up a table on the corner of University Boulevard and Bluestone Drive and sold T-shirts and cups to raise money for the tournament. Players donated S3 to play 3-on-3, or $5 to play 5-on-5. President Linwood Rose tossed the basketball for the opening day tip-off showing his support of ZN and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The brothers, with the help of Delta Delta Delta sorority, raised $4,000 to send to the Richmond chapter of Make-A-Wish Foundation to help a child go to Walt Disney World. "Being together for three straight days brought us all closer together and gave us a chance to really get to know each other while doing something positive for the community," said senior Chris DeLancey, president.

In another event, the brothers put down their basketballs and picked up their bicycles as the whole chapter went to their national headquarters in Lexington to bike back to Harrisonburg for donation pledges. The annual spring philanthropic event was called The Longest Yard and raised money for Special Olympics. Brothers got their friends, family and faculty to pledge money tor the distance they rode between Lexington and Harrisonburg. The event was tiring yet fun and brought the chapter closer together.

The Student Government Association (SGA) recognized its responsibility of actively participating in the university's decision-making process in a variety ot wavs. Serving .is the voice of the student body, the SGA represented its ideas, concerns, and opinions to both the faculty and administration. Senior Saiba Kama! said that the SCA "addresses administrative issues that are or concern to the student body in a way that other organizations do not." The members of the SGA provided students with a safe atmosphere to voice their concerns.

SGA consisted of 130 students called senators who each served on a committee that addressed issues central to concerns of the student body. These committees were Academic Affairs, Multicultural, Buildings and Grounds, Communications and Public Relations, Finance, Interna] Affairs, Legislative Action, Food Services, and Student Services. Voter Registration, MOSAIC week, and Holidays on the Quad were just a few of the events that SGA committees sponsored.

Multicultural Committee Chair Saiba Kamal marveled at the benefits that the SGA won for the student body. SGA sponsored social and educational programs in order to facilitate making students' years the best possible."

The Multicultural committee sponsored diversity awareness panels, the showing of movies highlighting a specific aspect of diversity and MOSAIC week. During MOSAIC week, the Multicultural committee sponsored the fashion show, "Culture Cabaret" that showcased members of the diverse community present in student body.

Through its programming, the SGA committed itself to offering a forum for students to acknowledge their concerns while knowing that their opinion made a difference. By Victoria Leavelle

Sigma Kappa enjoyed a successful year embarking on new projects while upholding old traditions. One hundred ZK sisters traveled down the road to Blacksburg, Va. to help their national headquarters found a new chapter at Virginia Tech. The women, along with other ZK chapters from other schools, spent a weekend in [anuary recruiting women as new sisters. The trip gave XK a chance to meet other sisters from surrounding universities and renewed their sorority's history and fundamentals.

ZK also started a new volunteer program with an area day care facility. Two sisters volunteered at a time and worked five days out of every week, playing with the kids, giving them snacks and helping them widi their alphabet and numbers. In November, the sisters got a rare treat; their national president came from Indiana and conducted a workshop on sisterhood and IK. Each sister walked away from the all-day conference with increased enthusiasm and closer bonds.

ZK reinstituted a long standing philanthrophy by hosting the Memory Walk. Along with other supporters, sisters ran or walked a two-mile path around Purcell Park to raise money for Alzheimer's Disease. They also sold lollipops on The Commons to benefit their cause. "The lollipop campaign is an easy way for our sisters, as well as others in our commu- nity, to raise awareness about a worthy cause," said Kimmie Maiden, foundations and campaign chairperson.

The sisters enjoyed a successful rush as they welcomed potential members to their "Sigma Circus." New and old sisters enjoyed annual events such as the Crush Parry, Christmas Cocktail, Sister Party and Blue Jean Ball. The sisters rallied their talents, whether they were artisdc, athletic, vocal or rhythmic, to participate in other events and fundraisers such as Derby Days, Anchor Splash, Rose Bowl and Greek sing.

Fostering an interest in the study of science hadn't been an easy task tor the universn past years with trends towards the technical computer and engineering sciences, but the Society of Physics Students (SPS) took it on proudly. Chartered on April 2, 1981, the organization went to many lengths ro promote physics literacy and interest within the school, as well as outside in the Harrisonburg community.

With an active membership of 15 students, SPS held the annual "Physics is Fun" show at Latimer- Schaeffer Theatre for local middle school students.

"We set up experiment demos that illustrated different laws of physics," said junior Sharon Koh, head of alumni/national relations. "I enjoyed participating and the kids all loved watching and learning."

Community events like this one not only stimulated and educated students, but they also helped recruitment efforts through local chapters of the organization. Meetings to plan these local events were held regularly over pizza parties.

By promoting undergraduate research and physics literacy, SPS retained underclassmen students within the major as well as introduced undecided students to the department. One major program to accomplish this was the peer-mentoring program. "We are doing this to help keep freshmen physics majors interested and doing well," said junior William M. Quarles, vice president. "This gives the students a mentor to look up to and ask advice. They move on from there and create an individual relationship."

Another underclassmen assistance program was the tutoring session for Physics I students the weekend before finals. This helped prepare freshmen to take their first round of college finals.

As the only performing arts club open to anyone on campus, the Stratford Players was one oi the oldest and most respected organiza- tions lot the dramatic arts. There were 25 active members but the number fluctuated due to the ever-changing nature or the club. The Stratford Players provided students with a theatrical education forum to exhibit their writing, directing, acting and producing talents. Each production was produced and promored entirely by students from start to finish.

Having been in existence in some form since the university was the all- female Madison College, the group was originally comprised of students who put on plays before there was a theater organization on campus. Audiences hailed their experimental techniques and sometimes daring productions, often reserved for "mature audiences only.

The Players approved and produced approximately 12 plays a year for Theatre II, the university's experimental theater. Students were given the opportunity to submit a production proposal to the Stratford Players. Minimal productions were given a budget of $200 and maximal productions had no set financial limitations. "We evaluate the proposals by the potential quality of their production," said President Katie Lawson.

Play genres consisted of everything from comedies and musicals to Shakespeare and Greek tragedies. Fall semester shows included the original student-written play "The Big Honkin' Sketch Show," "Valley Song," "House of the Blue Leaves," "Glengarry Glenn Ross" and the double bill "Sex, Drugs, & Rock n' Roll" and "Savage Love," a series of monologues and poetry readings, respectively.

"The best part of being a part ot dlis group is knowing what's going on in the theatre community and it's a good way to find support," said Lawson. By Christina Cook

Students for Minority Outreach (SMO) was founded in 1989 with the goal of recruiting and retaining minority students to the university. Through several activities, SMO was able to draw minority students to the university and keep them involved once they arrived on cajnpus. According to senior Bahi Harris, SMO recording secretary, "Through events such as Take-a-Look Day and African- American Prospective Students Weekend, the members of SMO strive to present a positive place for students of color to learn and grow as individuals."

Another purpose of the organization was to promote the university as a progressive and ethnically diverse environment that promoted interaction between members of the diverse groups represented on campus. Sponsoring activities such as Skate Jam, SMO continued to serve as a bridge between the university's ethnically diverse student populations. Member Saiba Kamal believed that "without organiza- tions like SMO, our university would be lacking a vital element that makes it unique.'

Two events that defined SMO were Take-a-Look Day and African-American Prospective Students Weekend. Take-A-Look Day, held in the fall of each year, provided high school students with the opportunity to visit the campus for a day and take part in mock classes. Over 20 campus organizations participated, giving students the chance to experience the campus from a multicultural perspective. African-American Prospective Students Weekend provided minority students interested in the university with a similar experience, but expanded upon Take-A-Look Day, allowing them to live out a full weekend of campus events while staying in a residence hall with a host student.

Through its activities, SMO provided its 60 members with die opportunity to have a lasting impact on the university while serving as a liaison between the university and the surrounding community. By Victoria Leavellc

Tae Kwon Do was a Korean art that meant "the art of punching and kicking." When the club began on January 20, 1981, they wanted to stimulate interest in the art of Tae Kwon Do among students. In 1 l)l)4. the club changed its name to the Karate Club after changing its martial arts focus. The new name only lasted until the spring of 1995 when the martial arts style returned to Tae Kwon Do.

Tae Kwon Do used the same style teachings as Khan's Martial Arts Academy in Northern Virginia. The club offered three different levels of classes, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced. According to Riya Mehta, club president, "Students are taught the fundamentals of the martial arts through forms and spacing." Students learned the traditional Chung Do Kwon self defense and self-discipline, improving the physical and mental competence of its members and enabling them to make new friends through events and practices. "The club is a wonderful way for people to get together and learn," said Andrew Carnahan, assistant instructor.

In March 2000, the Tae Kwon Do Club attended a national meet in Manassas, Va. They did extremely well and earned many trophies. The club also hosted a tournament at UREC, inviting schools from Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

With approximately 70 members, they also participated in growing community service projects such as cleaning up the Convocation Center after basketball games, holding canned food drives and biking and lifting to raise money for the fight against cancer.

The Tae Kwon Do Club impacted the community because it broadened the horizons of its members and enabled them to live in a society in which self defense was exttemely important. Its members developed physical and mental discipline while also receiving aerobic conditioning.

"The Tae Kwon Do Club is unique because it is a way of life and teaches students things they may need to know in order to save their own or someone else's life someday. I truly believe that our club has touched people here in a way that will last forever," said Mehta. By Rachelle Thompson

Tennis Club proved to be a big hit as its members served up good competition, good times, and friendships. President Sarah Rainey, took the reins and charged forward by setting matches with nearby schools. In order to ensure the success of die club. "I had to go to meetings at UREC for sports clubs and hand in a lot or paperwork" said Rainey. The team unleashed its skills against formidable opponents. Both the men and women played William and Mary, Richmond, the University of Virginia, North Carolina State and Eastern Mennonite. The team had big plans for its future. "We are planning to go to a national tournament in Texas and that should be a lot of fun," said Rainey.

When playing against other schools, the Tennis Club came out swinging even when their opponents didn't. "I love being able to compete with other schools," said junior Katie Lewis, a member of the team for three years. "One thing that bothers me is when other schools tell you they have 10 girls that want to play and only 3 show up for the match. Then you have seven girls that don't get to play."

Members of the Tennis Club showed their dedication by practicing as a team four times a week. "Generally, we just play singles or doubles and work on the skills we want to improve on," said Lewis. During matches and practices, the team still kept an aspect of relaxation in the game. "It is competitive but still laid-back. It's great," said Rainey.

This relaxed atmosphere was one of the reasons students joined the team. For most of the members. Tennis Club was part of a lifetime of playing. "1 have been playing tennis since I was four years old," said Rainey. "When I came to college I wanted to play competitively and die club team was the best opportunity for me."

Practicing and traveling with the team fostered unity and friendship. "I am grateftil for the wonderful people I met through Tennis Club and how much fiin we have had in the past three years," said Rainey. By James David

Tau Beta Sigma was an honorary hand service sorority dedicated to promoting hand, music and women's leadership. Started in 1987, TBZ worked with their male counterpart honor fraternity, Kappa Kappa I'm, to serve the music department and the community.

The 1 8 women of TBZ served the hand and its members at daily practices b) setting up yard markers, dragging the equipment onto the field, handing out cups of water and arranging their transportation to away games.

"TBZ really encouraged me to get into music and develop my leadership skills," said senior, Anna Johnson. "Each member had a lot of responsibilities. 1 wouldn't have been as active in band it it weren't tor TBZ."

The sorority took on additional responsibilities when the band traveled to Greece in December. Members oversaw the equipment transfer and distribution and helped band members keep track or their instruments. TBZ also helped everyone on the trip get their passports and medical information together tor the overseas journey.

The sorority participated in community service throughout the year as well. In March, TBZ participated in a week of fundraising to collect money tor VHl's Save the Music Day. TBZ ushered concerts for the music department throughout the year and also participated in the annual Muscular Dystrophy walk by distributing flyers for promotion of the event. TBZ also awarded their annual scholarship, Outstanding Woman in Band Award, to a local high school senior.

TBZ had many traditions that bonded them as sisters. "I joined to serve the band, but I stay in TBZ because of the people and bonds and friendships that I've formed," said junior Becca Goldberg. By Laura Lindsey

Women of Color was an organization founded in the fall of 1987 to provide support and offer opportunities for personal, spiritual, and intellectual growth to the women of color among the student body.

The group participated in many service activities, including Adopt-a-Family during the holiday season. Group members bought gifts such as clothes and toys for each member of their adopted family and put together a food basket for a holiday meal. They also hoped to begin fundraising for breast cancer awareness and research within the next year.

Women of Color's biggest event was the annual Women of Color Week in March. Open to the ntire university, the event featured activities such as a health forum, a play, movie night, and an evening at TDU.

Hoping to diversify the student body and recruit more minorities, the Women of Color set up information booths at several activities fairs such as Take-a-Look Day and African American Prospective Students Weekend.

"Our focus there was to let freshmen women of color know that we're here for them as they make their transition to college. We want to help them grow and develop personally and intellectually," said President Jennifer Johnson. By Katie Russo

ilk and cereal," screamed the girls. "Milk and cereal," screamed . the boys. "Milk and cereal!" cheered the girls again. "Cereal and milk!" screamed the boys in high pitched voices that echoed across the fields. The Ultimate Frisbee Club men's and women's teams often cheered together before the start of their games to psyche each other up.

Due to the overwhelming number of women who wanted to join the team, the club split into separate men's and women's teams. The men still kept their name, the Flying Hellfish, while the women were affectionately called the Bitch Monkeys. "I am very pleased about having a women's team at this school now. I am also very impressed how organized and structured the team is already in this very first year of playing," said senior Ron "Bert" Turner, president of the men's team.

Both teams participated in the Chesapeake Fall College Championship league and various tournaments all over the East Coast and did extremely well. Both on and off the field, the Hellfish and Monkeys were a close group of people. "The frisbee team is a collection of really unique, and sometimes odd, people. I'm proud to say I'm one of them," said senior Julie Demeester. The teams often partied together on weekends and were found causing a ruckus around campus. Several members of the Hellfish lived together in the Frisbee House located on Mason Street, and in the Frisbee Flat in Hunter's Ridge. When asked about the future of Ultimate Frisbee at the university, junior Allie "Hotstufif" Barber said, "our future is so bright we have to wear shades." By Laura Creecy

WOMEN'S CLUB

■

' I *he Womens Club Volleyball team entered their fifth year as a university recognized JL organization arid defended their national ranking of 17 among club teams. Due to the number of girls interested in playing, they split into two teams, A and B. According to President Kathy Munoz, "we are a sports organization striving to better our national standings this year. We slay several teams across the state as well as around the nation."

In March 2000, the women traveled to Reno, Nev. to play in the 16th Annual National Intramural- Recreation Sports Association Collegiate Volleyball Tournament. The team went into the tournament ranked 24th but left ranked 17th among 36 teams.

The women started the fall traveling to the University of Miami of Ohio and playing in a 20-team tournament. They finished as the runner-ups in the silver division finals. Then in November, the team hosted their annual Invitational Tournament at UREC. The A team finished second in the tournament behind Appalachian State's A team. The A team split with Virginia Tech and William & Mary in the first round and then defeated University of Maryland's B team. In die quarterfinals, the women beat Virginia Tech and then the University of Maryland Baltimore County in the semifinals. The teams streak came to end in the finals as they lost to Appalachian State 25-20 and 25-23.

The B team also participated in the tournament and finished fifth out of 1 2 teams. They beat Appalachian States B team and then lost to the University of Maryland's A team and split with UNC-Greensboro. They made it to the quarterfinals but lost to the tournament champions, Appalachian State's A team.

Munoz attributed the team's success to their commitment and dedication to the sport and their camaraderie. "What makes us unique is our commitment on and off the court. In playing we have become best friends and extend that friendship to the community through our fundraising and volunteer work." By Aimee Costello

The mission of the University Program Board (UPB) was to "serve the ]MU community by using innovative ways to provide quality education and entertainment for diverse audiences. We dedicate ourselves to understanding JMUs programming desire and involving students in our events. We pride ourselves on effective communication, encourage input from all members, and strive to heighten awareness of our purpose."

UPB was comprised of an elected executive council of 14 undergraduates and one graduate assistant and approximately 300 active volunteers. While not .ill of the volunteers were regular participants, there was a very dedicated core group that attended weekly meetings. Much of the volunteer involvement was through assisting the UPB-sponsored major concerts. Considering the scale of such an event and the 4-8 weeks ot planning, it was not surprising that each event required 40 to 60 volunteers.

"On average we do 20 to 25 events per semester," said Chris Stup, Coordinator for Student Organizational Services. "But most of those are smaller events, co-sponsorships with other organizations, bands out on The Commons, performers down in Taylor Down Under and all of the Grafton- Stovall movies. They're not the big, nationally-known concerts, so the majority of the public probably doesn't realize that we do that many events per semester."

The main programming areas included committees focused on cinematic events, musical events, issues and cultural awareness, and variety entertainment. The support committees were hospitality, technical services, advertising and public relations. Together these groups covered everything from the travel, lodging and catering needs tor artists and guests to advertising for the events to working the sound and light boards.

UPB committees worked together to sponsor huge events like the annual Talent Jam, and low-key events such as "Sex Rules" speaker, Maria Falzone. Stup said, "Those are the smaller programs that not a lot of people get to see, but you wish you could do a show like that in Wilson hall and 1 ,300 people would come out and see it. It was such a good quality show, fun and educational. And we do a lot of those type of events." By Becca Worthington

WOMEN'S WATER

In its fourth year, the Women's Water Polo team was the largest it had ever been with dedicated members. The team attracted seasoned water polo players as well as those who were unfamiliar widi the sport. Senior Molly Evenson noted that "it's fun to see girls come in who can't even tread water and watch diem turn into water polo rock stars!" The camaraderie that developed between the members of the team was something that Evenson acknowledged as one of her reasons lor remaining on the team for so long.

Throughout the year, the team participated in scrimmages against UV'A, Virginia Tech and Eastern Carolina University and won each of them. Each year the team was invited to the UNC Chapel Hill Tournament and Evenson said, "we keep placing better every year and this year we plan to win." Evenson's confidence in her team came tram its demonstrated athletic ability. In order to finance the team's travel from one scrimmage to another, the team sponsored various poster sales and worked the concession stands at football games. In addition, each member of the team was required to pay dues that covered some of the travel expenses to and from each of their scrimmages.

The team practiced at the UREC pool four days a week to ensure that diey would play their best in matches and tournaments. At practices, members swam and devoted time to body conditioning, drills, and scrimmages. Evenson admitted that she and her teammates got along better outside the pool because scrimmages could get "pretty intense" because when they weren't in the water, the girls "are not getting scratched, kicked and slammed" which was routine at their practices.

The team did special team building activities to make new members feel welcome including an ice cream social and a Friends watching party. To make sure that everyone on the team felt welcome, Evenson said, "We also have little sisters so that the older girls get to know the younger girls and they can go out and bond over lunch and odier activities." The team earned recognition as the Sports Club of the Month in October partly because of their participation in the Walk for Multiple Sclerosis in which they earned more than $800 for the cause.

In addition to cheering for the football team painted in purple and yellow, the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau could also be found cheering on the sidelines of the youth soccer fields. The brothers participated in coaching children's soccer teams for the past two years. As a newly formed fraternity, the brothers of ZBT strove to further the "growth of the individual into a mature responsible member of society." Brotherly love, integrity, social responsibility and intellectual awareness were the four principles followed to achieve their growth.

Founded in November of 1998, the university chapter was chartered in 1999 and had a membership of 40 brothers. The year anniversary of the charter was celebrated on December 4. One unique characteristic of the ZBT chapter was the abolishment of the concept of pledging.

Senior Ron Thistlethwaite stated that the new members were "still educated but the separation between brothers is forgotten. One freshman is even on the executive board," affirmed junior Erik Kemp, "and we encourage every brother to do their part."

Historically a Jewish fraternity, ZBT was proud of its non-sectarian tradition. A portion of the brothers performed various service projects for the synagogue in the community and restored computers donated to the local Salvation Army. Additionally, ZBT gained national prominence by accepting numerous awards at the 2000 National Convention in Newport Beach, Ca. These awards were earned in the categories of philanthropy, service, internal programming, recruitment, and a President's Citation for Overall Excellence. Chapter President and a member of the National Fraternity's Board of Directors, senior Nathan Seltzer, presented a segment of the keynote address during the convention. By Kirstin Reid

IP orty members strong, the Women's Lacrosse Club consisted of dedicated team members JL who enjoyed playing for fun but also appreciated the discipline of the sport. The club provided an opportunity for women to continue playing lacrosse throughour college because Harrisonburg did not offer any kind of organized lacrosse leagues.

The Third Annual Lacrosse Tournament held in April was a weekend-long tournament hosted by the university and 7-8 other teams. Among their competitors were VATech, the University of North Carolina Charlotte, and Clemson. The games started on Friday and continued through Saturday, wrapping it up with a championship game on Sunday.

The lacrosse women were kept just as busy off the field as they were on it. The majority of the members participated in the annual MS Walk that began at Duke Hall and continued around the community of Harrisonburg. They also held many fundraisers for their team such as vendor days and car washes. On Monday nights from 7-9 p.m. ar a local Burger King, the club received a certain percentage of their receipts donated to them by customers.

The club began five years ago with a mere 1 1 members and its popularity grew tremendously. Try-outs drew over 100 women interested in the sport. That figure was narrowed down to 40, still a large number with only 1 1 players on the field at a time. In the fall, practices were held 3 days a week for two hours and an additional day of practice was added in the spring to prepare for upcoming tournaments. By Andrea Flanary

United bv the friendships they formed, the sisters ol the Gamma Kappa chapter ol Zeta Tau Alpha continuously displayed caring spirits through their support ol various worthy causes. When the mother of a ZTA sister died from breast cancer the previous year, the entire sorority drove to Norfolk, Va. to attend a benefit soccer tournament in her memory. High school soccer teams from the area participated in the event raising over $10,000 for breast cancer research.

Spreading their message about breast cancer awareness to the females of the university, sisters distributed pink ribbons on The Commons and hung shower cards in the stalls of campus residence halls with instructions on how to perform a self-breast exam. They also hoped to organize a dance-a-thon with Delta Epsilon Chi during the spring semester that would further benefit their national philanthropy, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. "Everyone is very committed to our philanthropy and always participates since it affects all women at some point," said senior Maura Garvey.

The sisters community service projects extended into the Harrisonburg area as well. Howard, a resident of the nearby Avante Nursing Home and the adopted grandfather of ZTA, was a special presence in the sisters' lives. "Howard really likes having visitors and we're always very happy to spend time with him," said Garvey.

FormaJs, mixers and sober barbeques brought the girls closer to one another giving them the chance to relieve the pressures of academics. Forming bonds through social activities was one of the most important aspects of their sisterhood. "I've met so many people through this organization and I know it will help me through the rest of my life," said junior Claire Matthews. By Christina Cook

WXJM

Couldn't find anything to listen to on the radio? Were you tired of the same-old, same-old? Broadcasting at 88.7 FM for a little over a decade, WXJM, the university's student-run radio station, provided listeners with a true listening alternative that valued musical freedom and creativity. Sporting walls papered with hundreds of band-stickers and album covers, the station broadcast 24 hours-a-day during the academic year. WXJM was "a total immersion in the music industry," said General Manager, Nathan Marsh. With over 200 active members, it had, "...one of the most diverse memberships of. any campus organization,'' said Marsh.

WXJM sponsored Cool-Aid, a concert fundraiser for a local charity and participated in several other projects during the year. Their annual Mid Atlantic College Radio Conference (MACRoCk) created in 1997 and held each spring "showcased all that college radio stands for independence, musical freedom, creativity, diversity, and professional experience," said Marsh. It was a weekend dedicated to the progress of college radio and independent music and included more than 75 bands, over 30 record labels, and various panelists. The event attracted thousands of college DJs and music- lovers to the university. Eager concert-goers were given the opportunity to talk with band members, watch live performances and discuss their appreciation of college radio.

The station "went FM" in 1990 and ever since then, had been a home tor independent artists and music. Providing students with a hands-on learning environment, it gave them experience in the radio field and provided a source of musical recreation. Governed by the rules established by the FCC, State of Virginia, and the university's Board of Visitors who held their license, WXJM was required to operate in the public's interest, convenience, and necessity. The radio station was not only transmitted to the university campus, but also to listeners in the surrounding Harrisonburg community as well as Staunton, Bridgewater, Dayton, and Broadway.

I dcvci thought I could do it and I haven't. From die beginning, 1 have had .1 lot of help jnd support from many different people. Without them, this book would be a tot of blank pages, the following |

To Dave, you were my rock through this whole experience. Thank you so much tor being there and always giving me the encouragement I needed to keep going. To Leah Bailey, the Yearbook Queen, without you I never would have known where to start. Thank you lor .ill your knowledge, expertise and encouragement.

all of you, we would have starved.

To theJMU community - thank you tor three wonderful years. 1 enjoyed my time here as a student, athlete, and an organization leader. I hope you enjoy this book and find it as amazing as I do.

And last but not least, to m\ staff My editorial b Krisieti, Carlton and Christina. 1 could never have done it without you. Because of you all. I didn't go insane (comnlcterv), 1 only lost nn temper a few times, the book looks amazing again and I made some friends I know will last forever.

To the BlueStone staff- I have never been so proud to work with a group ol people in my lite. Your dedication and hard work made this book happen. Thank you to each and even i ine i iJ you. Tor those of you coming back next year - 1 wish you the best of luck, 1 know you will do a great job. To [host of vou graduating - good luck in all you do, vou all have bright futures ahead.

The staff put in coundess hours at the yellow submarine i.aLt: OUT office) CO make dus book happen and deserve all the credit for this book. I hope thev enjoyed this year as much as I did. Their hard work has definitely paid oft and is evident in this book. Whether we win another award does not matter, the only thing that matters is that we produced another great book and wc did it together. Of course, an award would be nice.

I came to the Bluestone office as a freshman because I wanted access to a darkroom and a reason to shoot. Somehow, I ended up with responsibility' - responsibility that with the completion of this book I gleefully pass along to someone else.

There was long work, drudgery, and sacrifice, and an inexplicable phobia of windowless yellow rooms. There were fights, exhaustion, and stories good enough to tell my grand- children. Then again, some of those stories probablv shouldn't be told to children. 1 missed class, I missed sleep. . , sometimes 1 missed saniry... Bur 1, and others, kept coming back for more. What irrefutable proof of something worthwhile!

Being a photographer for the Bluestone kept me aJwavs in the midst of the action and surrounded by the vibrancy of JMU that made this university more than a collection of buildings. Being a member of the Bluestone staff made me part of a community of talented and (mostly) determined people working toward a common goal. Having a kev to the Bluestone office gave me a place to crash between classes. The Bluestone not only tried to encapsulate the experience of a university in 504 pages, but was, in a sense, a distillation of all the things I loved about JMU.

Of course, this book would never have been so successful or well-loved without the people - many friends - who staffed it. To all of you who supported me, vou have mv thanks. To all of you I frustrated, irritated, or otherwise offended, I apologize. To Steve, Melissa. Rachel, Statia, Kathcrine, Rick, Wendy, Todd, Becky. Scott, and all ol you from previous books, thanks! You were great friends. To Leah: there were a few rough moments, but you alone embody my love for yearbook - I will never forget you and hope that we will remain friends far into the future.

The staff of this book made mv final year as a Bluestone staffer my favorite by far. This staff was an exceptional combination of talent and accomplishment. To ail of you, thank you for this year. To Aimee, as Pat McGee said. You arc the best editor EVER!"... and Pat ain't Win'1 lb Kristen, I'll be in touch about that magazine - just give me a few years. To both of you, thank you for being such great friends and partners- in-c rime. To Mandy Kane: you arc SO done! To .ill of my faithful photOSS - vou ROCK! Photog-snlidaruv forever! (No one reads the articles anyway) Yours always, #00. And to Kirstin ... finding you was the most beautiful

thing about this experience. I love you.

And that's all. The Bluestone was nirvana and a all at the same time. But I have no regrets. I'm luck to future Bluestonesi

I fought this, I really did. After last year I swore I would never conic back. But the pull of the yellow walls, the hum of the failing Macs and the pleas of in)' dear friend and editor brought me back for one more round on the Bluestone staff. The time and dedication necessary to pull off a 504-page publication were what scared me then, but thev are also what make me proud now. Although dubbed an extra-curricular activity, being a part of the Bluestone staff basically means your only free rime is that which you spend in class ot the few hours you can spare to sleep. But it's all worth it. Although I may have complained once or twice, there really is something amazing about knowing examples of your hard work are in 8,600 books for anyone and everyone to see. And at the risk of sounding like an after-school special, the best part of working on this awesome stall was the incredible friendships I made. ■ First and foremost, 1 have to thank, applaud, and someday out-drink Aimee, or as she calls herself, "the best editor in the world! She truly is and she is what made this book such a success. Without her dedication, hard work and borderline obsessive-compulsive tendencies, we never would have met

every deadline or liad nearly as much tun doing it. It also helped to have the promise of a deadline champagne celebration thanks to my favorite photog director and the unfortunate ear to many of my emotional outbursts, Carlton. His pictures made designing easy and I am so glad I got to know him so well. And then there's the hyphen-queen, Christina. She's got a lot more to her than meets the eve, as those of us who witnessed her glow-stick skills at the Zei Club know. She may be hyphen-happy but you've got to give her credit for voluntarily reading and re-reading every word that is in diis book. And how could we survive any deadline without the random outbursts and hilarious antics of everybody's favorite rapper, Jizz Master Flash, a.k.a. Mandy. I've never met a bigger goofball, talented designer or all-around awesome girl, jazz-hands and all.

Designers: vou girls are awesome! You are all extremely talented and you made my job so much easier. I wish you all the best of luck in the years to come. And to the rest of the stafn thank you SO much for all your hard work. We couldn't have done it without you and I wish you luck and stress- free days and nights in the future.

Thanks to my family for understanding and supporting me through this huge ordeal and for sending me to this amazing university. 1 love you all, and Holden, I promise Memesh will be home from school soon! To my roommates Jane, Annie and E: thanks for making time to hang out with me the few times I was around! You're my favorite TV pals and juggle-a-thon champs!

Thanks to Jerry Weaver and Brian Hunter for having faidi in us and to JMU for feeding us on deadlines and at conferences. This hook is a massive project that requires so many people

to make it successful and we were extremely lucky to have the support that we did.

Last but not least, thank you to my mentor. Leah Bailey, who is now living out her dream in New York. She taught me so much and is responsible for setting the precedence of this award-winning book.

I drink I'm done. Good luck to next year's staff and remember to have fun! Once I am through the initial withdrawal period I promise to come visit. But tor now, I'm jetrin .

The hardest part of being the copy editor wasn't coaching ! writers on their stories or spending seemingly endless nights in the Bluestone office. By far, the source of my positions frustrations boiled down to something I call my "hyphen handicap," defined as the inability to correcdy identify those ail-too important times when a hyphen is needed between ; two or more words. This deficiency led me to haphazardly stick hyphens everywhere so I apologize to all of our readers if hyphenated words seem to be used in excess.

And now it's time to reminisce ... After last year's "masterpiece," having to create the 2001 yearbook was a daunting task. Of course, dedication and hard wotk prevailed and I'm proud to say this year's staff has created a magnum . opus in its own right. After meeting our last deadline for this 500-pager, I felt not only relieved (like someone had removed a two-ton boulder from my back) but extremely proud for heading up such a professional publication. I am also grateftd for the many benefits that accompanied the position like being able to jet around the country on the university's dime for media conferences. I can only hope for such a posirion in the real world.

On a personal note, I'd like to drank my fellow editors who did a fabulous job ot staying on top of things throughout the year and for all the free rides to and from the office. I probably owe all ot vou a lull tank of gas. It's been a gre.u experience but I don't think I m alone in saying that I'm glad

we're finished! 1 think I've had enough QKH to last the rest of my life.

To the staff, I'd like to thank you for all of your hard work and detetmination to make this book a success. 1 hope you had fun working with us and wish you luck with next year's publication. You're a talented bunch and there's no doubt in my mind that you will carry on the award-winning Bluestone tradition.

I also have to extend some gratitude to my friends and roommates who saw me through those challenging, sleepless deadline weeks, listening to me moan and complain and driving me to the Bluestone room. Thanks

for understanding the demands of my position and my crazy schedule when attempting to make plans with me.

Ijsi but not least, I am indebted to my family for sending me to this university in the first place. I couldn't have made it through my four years here without your support and guidance. And a special thanks to my grandmother, Joanne Cook, who gave me a JMU legacy to live up to. I'm so glad I enjoyed my time here as much as you did 50 years ago.

To anyone I forgot, thanks for the memories.

There was once a team called Features,

Composed of all the coolest creatures,

Five chicks and one guy,

Who were all too darn fly,

While other teams cheered from the

bleachers.

The Leader was Teisha Garrett, Led us to Victory? You bet! Had a few parking problems, Was strong though and solved them, And asked "Are we having fun yet?"

Then diere was an awesome designer,

Andi, we're so glad we found her,

Kept an eye on the Team,

She was the email Queen,

With strength that always surround her.

Laura, our getaway driver, K4ore cunning than MacGyver, Her car saved the day, Used chips to act as "Lay's," Made all our meetings much liver.

Kirstin, who took such great pictures,

When shooting, guys tried to get

The miscounted ladder,

"Hey who dropped the crapper?"

Looked out for us like a big sister.

He's the one who said,

The sun rose again as the staff members of the classes section got ready for another deadline. Those who had morning classes got up while others who were lucky enough not to have classes until the afternoon chose to sleep in.

Throughout the year, whether it was skipping meetings, eating FCit-Kats or paying $1 for leftover trash, the yearbook office was bursting with activity. There were numerous reasons why the classes section loved the yearbook, including the closeness of its members due to their questionable sense of humor and vulgarities about... well, pretty much everyone,

including each odier. However, the classes section agreed that the thing that made the yearbook the best was the help of the "wonderful" volunteers. "We often brag about our ability to use old TV shows/ song tittles/ movie titles for our headlines," says Leigh Todd.

All in all, die yearbook was a unique experience for students who were lucky enough to share the experience. Students in the classes section had section pride. "We've got the best group of friends, Dawson's Creek parties, and when we do something, we go all out and do it right," said sophomore fearless leader Sally Duff.

Organizations

This is a look into the Organizations section through "Music." Our team was compiled of members with "The Right Stuff" and "No Scrubs." The fearless leader and "Brown eyed girl", Victoria, designing diva and "Independent Woman", Jennifer, busy bee writer and "Girls just wanna have fun", Laura, and easy-going photographer the "Big Pimpin ", Terrance. The section went through a few "Changes" diroughout the semester, losing two members, Jennie and Adrianna. At the beginning of the year we stalked organizations, "We Just Called to Say" we need your money and informa- tion! The writers wrote stories and Victoria edited out all the "Country Grammar." The organizations computer would often "Crash" and we'd all say, "It Wasn't Me!" We all said "Sorry Ms. Jackson (Costello)" when we were a little behind on a deadline, and after that we'd simply say "Oops, We Did it Again." But throughout the year our

But we were "Hangin Tough" and "Expressed Ourselves" and were soon able to resume "Workin 9 to 5." To the practicum students who helped us out we'd say "You're my Angel" and we really saw "The shape of their hearts" when we needed them most. While we worked in the office, we brought in CDs so we could "Shake Our Bon-Bons" and "Whistle While We Worked." Our completed section was better than "Ameri- can Pie" and we all said, "You Can't Touch This!" As the year came to a close we all made a lot of "Memories," and we all "Had the Time of Our Lives."

Uh-oh, Aimee's gonna be mad ... Apartments??!!?? 1 shoot sports, NOT apartments (Except my 1709 DRAMA) ... I'm on yearbook, I can get in anywhere.. ..Some people eat bugs ... EW.

Gotta luv the sports laaaadies. Gonna miss those deadlines and that ridiculously bright yellow office. Shout-outs to the bluestonenahtzee, miztaphotophreek, and my twin.
