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

Senior Phil Davies dedicates his summer to spreading

At 6:30 a.m., on June 9, 1 said good-bye to my parents
and left my hometown on a flight to the West Coast
knowing one thing: the only way home was on a bicycle.

As far as I can remember, 1 had spent every summer
prior to that of 1999 in my hometown of Atlanta. I did
the things that most kids did in those careless summer days.
I worked at supermarkets, warehouses, construction sites,
golf courses and had my first internship after my sophomore
year in college. I saw what the "real world" had to offer
and knew that I wasn't ready to sell my soul to a company

Commemorating the start of their trip in San Francisco,
this postcard was one of the many ways the Journey
of Hope team spread their message of acceptance
of people with disabilities. Over the course of the
summer, the team reached more than 27 million
people through personal appearances, newspaper
articles, and television and radio interviews.

at age 20. It wasn't until I boarded a plane for San Francisco
that I truly realized I was beginning the journey of a lifetime.
For 63 days, from June 13 to Aug. 14, 1 and 66 other
members of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity bicycled from the
Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the steps of the
Capitol in Washington, D.C., to raise money and awareness
for people with disabilities. The bike trek, known as the
Journey of Hope, was the national outreach project of PUSH
America, a nonprofit organization that served people with
developmental disabilities. PUSH America was also the
national philanthropy of OKO fraternity. The
Journey of Hope team consisted of fraternity
members from over 26 colleges and univer-
sities across the nation. I was the ninth Pi
Kapp from JMU to complete the Journey of
Hope, as I rode with another chapter brother,
Kevin McGee. McGee participated in the
trip in the summer of 1997, and after gradu-i
ating in May 1999, committed himself a I
second time. It was because of McGee's stories
about the trip — and those of two other chap-
ter brothers who rode in 1997 — that I took
the first and hardest step: calling John Powers,
the director of PUSH America, to request a
team member application.

Each cyclist completed the application
that consisted of five essay questions. Prospec-
tive riders also needed rwo letters of recom-
mendation and then interviewed over the
phone with Powers. The hour-long interview
entailed questions about personal leadership

skills, scenarios that team members would encounter over
the summer, and personal goals or reasons tor wanting to
;be a part of this experience. Powers briefly discussed the
mission of the Journey of Hope and reminded me that each
cyclist, once accepted, must raise a minimum of $4000 to
support the projects and programs ot PUSH America. I
jivas enthusiastic about accepting the fiind-raising challenge
and a month later, when I received a letter of acceptance,
began the laborious task.

Through letter campaigning to family and friends, I
met my first SI 000 deadline in February and my second
'$1000 deadline in March. Fund-raisers with sororities on
oivfl ampus and a generous donation fi^om Harrisonburg jeweler
ames McHone helped me reach my third $1000 deadline
n April. Frustrating as it was, I knew that it was possible
,4{ o raise all $4000. With a few days remaining before the
J (Ik klay 15 deadline, 1 sent in the last check to PUSH America
aving raised a total of $4 1 0 1 .

With the fiind-raising completed, I began concentrating
iggg (11 training for the intense trek. The Student Government
(da ^sociation granted McGee's and my request for money
ijj vith which to purchase the equipment and helped ensure
hat we would be properly supplied. Mark's Bike Shop in
^arrisonburg offered past Journey of Hope riders a signi-
icant discount, and I bought the necessary equipment from
hem. The long list included a helmet, gloves, cycling shorts,
hoes, tools, a camelback, a saddlebag, sunglasses, tubes,
ires, tire irons and a bike computer to keep track of speed,
listance, time and total miles.

Never having done any serious cycling, I began training
1 Harrisonburg, which provided open roads off Route 42

North and plenty of rolling hills. I came to appreciate the
tranquility of the roads in the countryside, but it was
difficult staying motivated while riding alone. Consequendy,
my longest training ride was only 30 miles, which felt more
like 130 because I wasn't sure how often to eat, drink or
rest. I got comfortable with the bike, learning which gears
to use, how to change tires and perform basic bicycle main-
tenance. In all, I trained about 250 miles, which was average
compared to other team members, as I soon found out in
San Francisco.

Before arriving in San Francisco, we were assigned to
one of the two JOH cycling teams: the South team or the
North team. Both teams staned in San Francisco and rode
together for about a week until we split in Fallon, Nev.,
where the South team continued its route toward Arizona
and the North team rode toward Utah. I was a member
of the South team, comprised of 25 cyclists and seven crew
members who drove the support vehicles that carried our
clothes, food and water. Saturn Car Corporation ot America,
our biggest sponsor, donated four vehicles and provided us
with many meals at Saturn dealerships across the country.
We were invited to the Saturn Homecoming in Tennessee
and were recognized for our journey.

Each morning began at 6:00 a.m. We were given one
hour to dress and eat breakfast. We then gathered in a circle
to go over the day's itinerary that included the route, time
of arrival, aaivities for the day and sleeping accommodations.
About 75 percent ot the time we slept on high school gym
floors in sleeping bags. We had hotel rooms donated when
possible, usually in larger cities, and camped out once on
July 4 on an Indian Reservation in (continued on p. 38) »

(continued from p. 37) » Arizona among scorpions and
tarantulas. On average, we cycled about 80 miles per day,
with our longest ride being 120 miles into Bremen, Ga.,
about one-and-a-half months into the trip. The ride to
Bremen took almost 1 1 hours to complete as we battled
hills, headwind and the humidity of the south. In one of
the honest summers ever recorded, we cycled in dangerously
high temperatures that reached up to 118 degrees in the
desert. One of our team members became so dehydrated
that he was hospitalized. The doctors feared he might have
suffered permanent brain damage due to the heat.

One of the summers' most diflFicult rides took place in
Kirkwood, Calif, in which we climbed from 2,000 feet to
9,000 feet over 65 miles. We were on our bikes for more
than 1 3 hours, and although we were hungry and tired, we
were filled with a sense of accomplishment knowing that
we had conquered the mountain. Other days we encountered
obstacles beyond our control such as flat tires. I had over
30 flat tires, 1 1 in one day, while McGee only had one. A
more serious obstacle, our first major accident, occurred
about three weeks into the trip. Six cyclists were riding in
a paceline, a tight group of cyclists who ride extremely close
together to reduce wind resistance. Two cyclists rubbed
tires and the entire paceline spilled like dominoes. One
team member separated his shoulder while another hit his
face on the asphalt and bit through both his lips. We were
in the middle of the desert almost 60 miles from the next
town, but luckily a state trooper arrived and radioed for
help. We rode in silence for the remainder of the day until
we heard that our team members were all right.

When we arrived in a designated city each day, we
made it a priority to interact with people with disabilities.
We met with hundreds of people, many of whom suffered
from Downs Syndrome, autism or mental retardation. In

addition to playing wheelchair basketball, visiting waterparks
and Major League Baseball games, and having cookouts,
we performed a puppet show for centers that served people
with disabilities. The show was called "Kids on the Block"
which featured puppets that had Cerebral Palsy, Downs
Syndrome or were visually impaired. At the end of the
puppet show, the kids, some of whom had disabilities
themselves, asked the puppets questions about what it was
like to be disabled. The children in the audience learned
that people with disabilities are no different than anyone
else, and that they share the same interests as other people
their age. It was hard leaving these special people who looked
forward to our arrival every year, but we tried to look ahead
to the next city and meeting a new group of friends.

In larger cities such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas,
Birmingham, Atlanta and Charlotte, we had police escorts
for our arrival. All traffic would stop and we'd follow the
police lights and sirens as the city watched us ride. Personally, ,
the arrival at Centennial Park in Atlanta was one of the
highlights of the trip. My parents, neighbors and friends
came to our arrival to watch us ride into the city behind the
police escorts. Then the South team lined up at Centennial
Park and a state representative handed me the proclamation
declaring Aug. 3, 1999, PUSH America Day in the city of
Adanta. We ate a sponsored limch downtown at the Adidas
Center, which was built for the 1 996 Olympic athletes, and
we couldn't help feeling like Olympic athletes ourselves.

After riding across 12 states, over mountains, through
deserts, heat, wind and rain, we arrived at the Capitol in
Washington, D.C. Hundreds of parents, family and
friends applauded and cheered to welcome us back from
the most mentally and physically challenging experience
of our lives. Having reached over 27 million people and
raising $350,000 for PUSH America, we completed our

Marching in formation for weekend games, outfitted
in the traditional purple and white, the 450 members of
the Marching Royal Dukes appeared as a sea of uniformit)'.
Proudly displaying their identical uniforms and carefitlly
polished instruments, every band member followed the
same cues under the direction of the drum major Together,
their harmonious soimd carried to the ears of their audience.
Under their leathered caps and sequined sashes, however
existed a band composed of very different people united
by one thing: a love of music.

Or, a imity based on a love for a common instrument,
so it may seem, for behind the image of "Virginias Finest
were the sections, marching band "families" in their own
right, ^^ether a member ot the reed, brass or percussion
lamilv, each instrument of the marching band was repre-
sented in a section that prided itself on its particular sound.
"We start practice earlier and we rehearse longer than any
of the other sections. There's a lot of cooperation within
our group, and we listen to one another because it's our duty
to get the best out of our section," said trumpet section
leader Brian Sizer, a senior Friendly rivalry was not uncommon
between the sections as a result of group pride.

Competition was at its pinnacle the week before school
during the Section Olympics at band camp. Sections
squared off against one another in six events. "During
the events, we may yell at the other sections a lot, but
it's all in good fun, " said Sizer.

Instrument pride, a common trait shared by every
section, built confidence. "The trumpets are the loudest
and smartest section, statistically. They are also the most
physically able, have the most sex appeal, and when
people think of JMU Marching Band, they think trtimpets,"
said fi-eshman Matt McLaughlin.

In response to the boasts of the trumpets, the
members of the drum-line had their own perception ol
the statistics. "Drummers get the girls and that's all that
matters," said freshman Aaron Stanley.

"tubamid" (a pyramid of tuba players)
and the "tuba push-ups." No matter what
the activity was, the tubas demonstrated
their section pride by putting the word
"tuba" in front of all their planned get-
togethers. The lone baritone sax, a reed
instrument with a similar range as the
tubas, soon leatned that the tuba section
was a great group in which to belong.
"Everyone in the tuba section has been
nice to me despite being a baritone sax.
I'm glad they took me in," said freshman
Jeremiah Daniels.

Keeping the beat and coordinating
the rhythm of the entire band was the
job of the percussion section, better known
as the drum-line. Percussionists cemented their loyalty to
the group when they joined Phi Buda Ruda (pronounced
booda rooda), the drum-line's faux fraternity. Like the tubas,
the members of the percussion section had the reputation
of being a close group. "The drum-line is a great thing to
be a part of because everyone is really talented and we're
all close. When you get to band camp, within days you
have about 20 friends," said Stanley.

Although without instruments,
members of the color guard were dex-
terous writh the five-and-a-half foot flag-
poles that danced among band members
on the field. Sticking to tradition, each
guard girl participated in a Big Sister/
Little Sister program that began during
band camp.

"Each guard member is paired with
a big or little sister. We exchange gifts
before games, bake each other cookies,
show the new girls around and take
them out to help them feel at home,"
said junior Laura Lee Gulledge.

Like their instruments, each section
was unique not only for its sound but
also for its members and their traditions.
Living up to the title of "Virginia's
Finest" was not only a group goal but a sectional one. Each
section strove for the title that had made their band one of
the best in the nation. Despite the divisions, the Marching
Royal Dukes found that the stronger their section was, the

we're going to play better on the field," said Stanley. ■

The girls took one step back and cocked their heads
in unison to analyze their artwork. After listening to endless
Top 40 songs, drinking enough water to satisfy a small
army and making a last-minute trip to Wal-Mart for more
purple chalk, they finally were finished. The detailed drawing
illuminated the pavement in front of their sorority house.
Several of them snapped pictures and exchanged high fives.
Others rubbed their hands together to remove the chalk
that had blended together to form one single color within
the creases of their palms.

The crest drawing competition represented one out ot
several opportunities for sororities and fraternities to earn
points in 1999s Greek Week. While watching the Greek
Games, spectators received a decent laugh, as students
struggled to make it through the obstacle course and muscle
their way through the tug of war.

Apart from these amusing events, members of the Greek
Lite community were encouraged to participate in a
variety of commimity service events. These ranged from the
Boys and Girls Club field day, "Hustle for Habitat 5k Fun
Run," and the all-Greek blood drive.

Greek Sing was perhaps the week's most anticipated
event, challenging its competitors to de\'elop a unique dance
and lip sync routine.

"We all start practicing about a month before the aaual
event," senior Erin Smith said. "For the most part, sororities
spend a lot more time and energy preparing for their per-
formance with dance moves, hand motions and props."

A Greek Life barbecue behind Bridgeforth Stadium
and a happy hour at Main Street Bar and Grill provided
everyone with a satisfying balance to top oflFthe week filled
with fierce competition. ■

Inciting a fire of their own, Zeta Tau Alpha

choreographed dances were common in
the annual event. Fraternities and sororities
tried to impress the judges by being the
most memorable. ■ Photo by Allison Serkes

regularly approached by
skeptical students and
faculty to recount her
day of good fortune.

At 4:30 a.m. on a Wednesday in July, junior Ashleigh
Beam and tour of her Tri-Delta sorority sisters arrived at
the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in
Los Angeles. Prepared to spend the next few hours on the
cold, hard pavement, the girls came equipped with blankets
and pillows from their hotel room. At 7:30 a.m. the doors
to CBS Studios finally opened and hundreds of restless
potential "The Price is Right" contestants filtered inside.

The five sorority girls paraded into the lobby wearing
matching T-shirts that read "James Madison University-
Delta Delta Delta loves Bob Bob Bob." After filling out
television release forms, they were given adhesive yellow
nametags and directed to a room where the show's
producers asked each person a series of generic questions.

At 10 a.m. everyone was allowed to access the set
and locate his or her pre-assigned seats. The girls couldn't
help but notice how much smaller the famous, brightly
colored sound stage looked, compared to its appearance
on television. After what seemed to be an eternity, announcer
Rod Roddy, dressed in one of his stunning jackets, made
his first appearance to pump up the crowd before the show

started. From the fifth row, center stage, Beam thought
back to the day they all decided to make the excursion.

Beam, along with juniors Randal Morris, Allison
Toth, Carrie Albright and senior Kelly Graves devised
the trip to California early spring 1 999. They planned
to stay 10 days in Newport Beach, Morris' hometown.
Attending a taping of "The Price is Right" was placed
high on their list of things to do. "Our ultimate goal was
to meet Bob Barker before he retired," Beam said with a
slight smile. After months of careftil planning and the
help of frequent flyer miles, the group was able to make
the trip at minimal cost.

The combination of deafening shrieks and shouts
made Beam acutely aware of her favorite daytime host's
arrival. At the start of the show, Rod Roddy announced
the name of a young man who shuffled his way down to
the bidding panel. The crowd was still in an uproar when
Roddy mouthed, "Ashleigh Beam, come on down! You're
the next contestant on 'The Price is Right.'" Beam felt her
heart sink to the floor and strained to read the large white
card with her name written on it. {continued on p. 50) »

money

{continued from p. 49) » Sninned, Beam remained in her chair.
Widi the help from her friends and random audience mem-
bers, she arose and cautiously made her way to the panel.

The first item up for bid was a tennis ball machine,
demonstrated by the newest edition to Barker's Beauties,
Nikki Ziering. Unfortunately, Beam overbid by $30 and
remained at her orange booth on Contestants' Row.

The second item up for bid was a folding screen decor-
ated with painted pastel flowers. Beam, an art major, bid
higher than the rest of the contestants. Those years of sining
in Duke Hall lectures paid off, because it won her the right
to take the stage. She husded up the platform steps and was
greeted by Barker.

Following small talk. Barker informed her that she would
be playing Spelling Bee. He explained the objeCT of the game
was to spell out the word "CAR" with numbered cards shaped
like honeycombs with the letters "C, " "A" and "R " on the
backs. She received two free cards worth $500 each and was
given the opportunity to win three more cards of equal value.
To do so, she had to estimate the price values of three prizes.
With the help of preplanned hand signals from her friends,
Beam was able to successftilly guess two out of three prices.
She now had a Bloomin' Onion machine and a vanity mirror.
When it came time to reveal the letters imderneath the cards,
Barker presented her with the option of walking away with
$2000 cash or taking the chance to win a brand new Mercury
Tracer. Beam went for the car and won. Overjoyed, she
planted a wet kiss on Barker's cheek and was ushered off
the stage to fill out paperwork.

During the commercial break, Barker answered questions
from audience members. "Tell us about the fight scene in
'Happy Gilmore,' Bob," inquired one man. "Hey Bob, read
my shirt," shouted another. He stood up to show off his
shirt: 'Pick me Bob, I'm neutered.'

Beam waited patiently in the front row with the other
two winners until it was time to spin the wheel for the

Showcase Showdown. She had hoped for this moment ever
since she was a little girl. Surprised by how heavy the wheel
was, she prayed that it would make it all the way around.

Miraculously, the pointer landed directly on $ 1 . Beam
had $1 ,000 tacked onto her prize winnings. It was on to
the final Showcase Showdown, where her opponent also
happened to be a college student. Since Beam was the top
winner that day, she was granted the first bid between the
two showcases.

Barker glanced over at the two nervous contestants and
told them that they should have their bids ready because
they were running short on time.

The theme of the first showcase was Light Beams. One
of Barker's Beauties sauntered over to Beam's purple booth
and presented her with a set of stylish sunglasses. Additional
items included a 27 " TV/VCR, a full set of "Star Trek"
videos, and a Dodge Intrepid. She chose not to pass the
showcase and placed a bid of $18,250. After her bid, the
process was repeated for her opponent and then the pro-
ducers cut to a commercial break.

The two contestants chatted and joked about sneaking
a peak at the slips of paper that Barker had placed above
their bids.

Minutes later Beam's knees weakened when the actual
retail prices revealed that she won the showdown. Within
seconds, her friends were on the stage huddled around the
overwhelmed winner. The camera cut to Barker. "This is
Bob Barker reminding you to help control the pet population.
Have your pets spayed or neutered." Overwhelmed by the
victory, the girls missed the host's signature parting speech.
After the taping, a small group of audience members
lined the exit to CBS Studios, waiting to meet that day's
top winner. Surprised, Beam humored them by shaking
hands and posing for pictures. Arriving 1 2 hours earlier
as normal college students. Beam and friends departed
having experienced what some could only dream. ■

Leading as many as six classes a
week, UREC aerobic instructors
prove to be more than energetic

While other students slumbered peacefully on a muggy
weekday morning, snug in their beds, Brooke Cashman
was up and running. An aerobic instructor at the Universit)'
Recreation Center, Cashman pulled on black spandex
pants and a matching sports bra, hopped in her car and
made her way to campus to teach an early morning class ot
Cardio Connection.

Although it was still early for most students, the junior
English and modern foreign languages double major enthu-
siastically greeted the few that did make it for the class.
"We're going to start on the floor, then on steps, then on
the slides," said Cashman. "Then you can go home and feel
good about yourself"

Her enthusiasm was surprising, as the weather could
have made just about anyone sluggish. "It's really hard to
come to UREC if I am in a bad mood," she said. "But as
soon as I start interacting with people and get the music
going, it becomes easier. I get a lot of energy from the
people in my classes. They help me as much as 1 help them."

As trucks whizzed by on Interstate 81 outside the
windows of the studio, Cashman donned a headset and
began leading exercises to the tune of the dance song, "Diva. "

"Grapevine, grapevine, squats left, right and clap,"
yelled Cashman, her voice barely audible above the music.
Despite the music volume, the class flowed along with her
instruction, their faces red and moist with perspiration.

After several minutes of exercise, she offered them a
short break before beginning the dreaded step exercises.
"Get a drink if you need it," said Cashman. "How do you
guys feel?" Answering with nods and groans, the students
retreated for water while Cashman herself started the step
exercises, not even seeming to have broken a sweat.

Cashman gained an interest in aerobics her freshman
year when she took a few classes at UREC, which led her

sweat

to take an instructor training course. She began teaching
warm-ups in aerobics classes, then graduated to teaching
her own classes sophomore year. "I really enjoyed taking
aerobics classes here," she said. "I thought teaching would
be something I'd be good at, and get me in here and help
me to stay healthy."

Cashman and the other student aerobic instructors at
UREC seemed to be Rill of boundless energy. "All of the
people on our staff are crazy, Type-A personalities, so they're
doing tons of other things, too," Cashman said.

On average, Cashman taught five to six classes per
week, ranging from Boxing Fitness to Cardio Connection
to Kickboxing. "I'm usually in here about nine hours per
week," she said. "Instructors have mandatory lifting three
umes a week and I try to get in here and participate in
other people's classes so I'm not stuck in my own rut."

Cashman also ran on her own to add variety to her
workout regimen. "Nonstop aerobics (continued on p. 54) »

In addition to teaching and weightiifting, Cashman

on theoretical and practical aerobics instruction. Instructors
also had other responsibilities around UREC, including
designing UREC bulletin boards and serving as Student
Advocate tor Body Acceptance (SABA) representatives.

and veteran instructors," said Cashman. "We try to organize
activities to build cohesion among the staff." Experienced
instructors took "newbies" out to lunch, participated in his

e-mails. "It's a lot of morale boosting and bonding stuff,"
she said.

Cashman, along with most of the instructors, was also
involved with PROMotion, Peers Reaching Others through
Motion, a two-credit health sciences class that promoted
fitness and self-esteem through activities on campus and at
area schools.

PROMotion began as a performance group in 1992
with the goal of promoting the aerobics program while
entertaining students. However, it developed into a wellness
education program once the group recognized their potential
as educators. "Exercise and physical movement empowers
people and heightens their overall level of fitness," said
Cashman confidendy. "We try to do educational programming
to teach peers and students how to take care of their minds
and their bodies."

Back in the aerobics studio, Cashman finished a suc-
cessfiil combination class of floor, step, slide, mat and finally
cool-down exercises. The students put their equipment
away and were preparing to leave. "Thanks for dragging
yourselves out on a rainy Wednesday. Have a good day,"
Cashman said.

"I hope they enjoy the class and didn't just come be-
cause they thought they had to but because they genuinely
enjoyed it," said Cashman optimistically, packing up her
gear. "Exercise leads to a healthy lifestyle versus just burning
off the beer they drank last weekend."

She believed exercise served a higher purpose, beyond
just helping a person keep in shape physically. "I think that
having some sort of exercise is essential in everyone's life.
It makes your lifestyle better overall. Generally, exercise
makes you a happier person. It's important for people to
find an exercise that can fit into their lifestyle beyond
their college years." ■

The halls of the Music Building are
filled with the sounds of music in
September as students prepare
for a cappella auditions

"Anyone interested in auditioning tor the Overtones,
please take one of these forms," called out a male voice. The
first floor lobby of the Music Building was bustling with
activity and chatter. Signs advertising The Madison Project,
Overtones, Note-oriety and Exit 245 plastered the walls in
an attempt to provide direction to the excited mob. The
a cappella auditions were reaching their highest pitch.

Wearing a brown beret and nervously clutching his
pen, freshman Matt Barclay rested against a wall to fill
out applications, the first stage of the auditioning process.
Barclay followed the stream of students out ot the Music
Building and onto the Quad where the crowd gathered to
await further instruction.

"You can audition for as many groups as you want,"
said one veteran singer to the group sitting on the grass.
"It's laid-back. Each group has its own style." Barclay
listened intently to the brief but informative speech and
borrowed the back of a friend to finish his forms.

"After callbacks," continued another, "you must give
us a slip of paper with your top three choices. If yoiu" group
of choice picks you, you're in." The students were released.
They went back into the building where each group was
stationed in a different room.

Barclay scaled the stairs to the third floor with little
trepidation. "I think of every audition as a performance.
I love performing, so I don't get nervous during perfor-
mances," he said. One hall was crowded with guys sitting,
talking and hovering around two sign-up lists. The potential

candidates were required to sign up tor times separated into
five-minute intervals.

Barclay was slated to sing for The Madison Project at
8:45 and then Exit 245 exactly one hour later. "I've been
in a cappella groups but never pop a cappella, that's
what's so cool about it, " he said. Referring to his captive
audience, he said smiling, "Here, at these auditions,
they're forced to listen to me!" Despite the excited hum
around him, Barclay seemed calm and confident.

A few rooms away, the voices were much higher. "Reading
music definitely helps," said one girl as she fumbled with
a notebook. The girls were required to sing scales and a
popular song of their choice.

"I bet I'll end up doing something corny that everyone
else ends up doing, " speculated another girl sitting nearby.
A door opened and a voice belted, "Jennifer!" Every audition
was closed to outsiders, so the members of Note-oriety were
the only ones listening.

Jennifer Wilbourn, a freshman international business
major, never had any formal voice training, but she was a
member of several vocal groups in high school and she
sang the national anthem at the Washington State Junior
Olympics. "I love the rush you get after performing in
front of thousands of people," she said.

Note-oriety, the university's first all-female a cappella
group, was her first choice. "I heard about them the night
before, I figured, what the heck, it will be fun." Wilbourn
sang "Crazy" by Patsy Cline for the (continued on p. 58) »

Filling out application forms

was just the first step in
the two-day auditioning

a cappella groups: the all-
male Exit 245 and The
Madison Project, the coed
Overtones and the all-
female Note-oriety. ■

for the evening. "It won't be the end of the world if I don't
make it. These auditions are very competitive. I will still
have ROTC to keep me occupied, " said Wilbourn.

By midnight Barclay, Wilbourn and the other hundreds
of performers had called it a night. The members of Note-
oriety scheduled their callbacks for the next evening.

Over 100 girls auditioned for the group. "In the past
we have called back between 10 and 25 girls. It all depends
on performance. This year we called back 22," said Kelly
Myer, president of Note-oriety. They planned on accepting
between two and four new members.

Note-oriety was comprised mosdy of non-music majors
and there was no preference for year. "We take people's
personalities into consideration. We try to picture them on
stage with us, but we're all easy to get along with. So it's
mostly a great voice and a great ear," explained Myer.

After making their callbacks, Wilbourn was not one of
the four new members of Note-oriety. Meanwhile, Barclay
was thrilled about making Exit 245. The auditions had
gone quite well for him. "I went higher than I'd ever gone
before, " he said regarding his vocal range. As they were his
first choice, Exit 245 and Barclay made perfect harmony.
"Everyone is so nice ... such a friendly vibe," he said.

Less than a week following auditions, Myer was playing
piano in a large lecture room in the Music Building. She
experimented with the melody to Damn Yankees' "Can You

group. Note-oriety prepared the song as a duet to be sung
with The Madison Project. All tour new members of the
group arrived early for the evening practice. Note-oriety
practiced three times a week for about two hours and recorded
their first CD in December for release in the spring.

"I look forward to singing again, " said sophomore Erin
Coffey, a recent addition to Note-oriety. "I haven't sang
since high school." She did not expect to be one of the
fortunate few to make the group. The girls joked around
with her. At first they pretended Coffey had not been chosen.
"They were mean to me," she laughed, "they said 'We're
sorry things didn't work out!"

All the new members agreed the Note-oriety girls were
actually very friendly during the auditions. "It wasn't as
bad as I thought it would be because they're so nice," said
freshman math major Erin Williams, who was looking
forward to "making friends while making music."

New members prepared for their first performance and
auditions became a distant memory. As it recessed in their
minds, the stress that accompanied those tense moments
was soon forgotten. During that night and the ensuing
callbacks, the enormous field was narrowed to a select
few. The difficult selection process for each of the musical
groups ended in elation for some, sadness for others. While
the happy few sang their own praises, the others waited for
their opportunity to bask in the warmth of the spotlight. ■

According to SEO recruiter Chris Gill, nearly 4,000

sounds were absorbed into the steady hum of background
noise. Sounds came from the conversation between several
students sitting in the living room. The foosball table pro-
vided outbursts following goals or great saves by the little
rod-impaled players. The only two places noise did not
emanate from were the television, which was not hooked
up, and the two silent warriors dueling on a chessboard.
The cracking became a louder splintering and then a sudden
crash as sophomore Chip Larkin demolished the chair in
which he had been sitting. Uncontrollable laughter followed
the initial shock, and the pieces of the broken chair were
later hung on the wall to create a coat rack.

Eleven students lived in The 625 House on S. Main
Street. The roommates, sophomores Larkin and Lee Crandell,
and juniors Ryan Simms, Joshua Earman, Louis Miller, Josh
Stoltzfus, Geoft Whetham, Todd Hancock, Drew Beckley,
Pete Ferrara and senior Adam \SChisman shared the house but
also shared their Christian feith. Eight residents were members
of InterVarsity and two others were involved in Young Life,
both Christian fellowship groups.

Located among so many named houses, The 625 House
received its name three years before. The house was enormous,
defined by the wrap-around porch and two giant white
pillars facing South Main Street. Since the name's inception,
the house held an annual Halloween party. Last year's party,
which was alcohol-free — as all parties at The 625 House
were — hosted Miller's band Wellspring. So many people
attended that the floor-support beams in the basement
collapsed. The first floor was cleared and the beams were
repaired before the party resumed.

The basement frightened visitors, complete with an
old stage, an organ, poor lighting and piles of rubble. Such
a scary theater was perfect for a November showing of
"The Blair Witch Project."

Although the basement was scary, the house had an open-
door policy. The residents were often found hanging out
on the front porch. The columns on either side of the front
steps supported the overhang that covered the porch.

The shared beliefe of the residents appeased the problems
that arose from the crowded house. "We rely on our common
faith in Christ. With that, there is nothing we can't get
through," said Crandell. ■

Strength and conditioning coach
Patrick Borkowski devotes his time
to making good athletes great

The athletic department didn't sell many tickets to watcl
the football players' bench press in the Bridgeforth Stadium
weight room. At 7:00 a.m. during the week, most student:
weren't lined up outside Godwin 218 to see the wrestlin:
team do power squats. And very few people remembered !'
the last time they read a newspaper article about what thJ|
field hockey team had for breakfast. What interested Dukq
fans was who won games and who made the big plays, noti
how the teams and players prepared to win. So if student
weren't worried about what the athletes did off the field,
who was?

Six individuals of the Strength and Conditioning Pro
gram shared the responsibility of improving the performanc
of all 27 NCAA Division I sanctioned teams. According t(|
the Strength and Conditioning Program handbook, it was
the strength and conditioning coaches mission to "teach tht
values of hard, intelligent, consistent work" for the purpos
of increasing the athlete's capability to perform. The program
motto was simple and achievable: "We help good athlete
become great. "

Greg Werner, director of strength and conditioning;
supervised the entire program and the five other coaches!
Jim Durning, Noel Durfey, Patrick Borkowski, John Co:
and Delane Fitzgerald. Together, they upheld Werner's
philosophy of assisting any athlete that wanted help whi
implementing the components of athleticism: strength, po'
flexibility, speed, agility, footwork, endurance, metabol
condition, body composition, mental focus and motivation

The coaches were required to understand the mentalit
of each sport and adapt to the psychological frame of min
of the different sports. Although no sport received more
attention than another, certain sports, {continued on p. 66}

Senior Patrick
Borkowski, a kinesi-
ology major with a
oncentrarion in exercise science, became involved in strength
ind conditioning early in his college career Borkowski
vorked for a physical therapy clinic in Woodbridge, Va., as a
ihysical therapist technician. He assisted the physical thera-
list in nontechnical patient care. He received his personal
rainer certification in August 1997 through the American
Zouncil of Exercise. After becoming a fitness assistant at
'REC in May 1998, Borkowski completed a practicum for
lis kinesiology major He believed that the practicum was a
;ood way to learn "basic knowledge about technique work
lifts) and fundamental exercise knowledge." In January
999, Borkowski was promoted to cenified fitness assistant
vhere he assessed the components of fitness in UREC
i Participants. He also began writing exercise programs to
lelp the participants meet their short- and long-term goals.
Continuing his involvement in strength and conditioning
forkowski interned as the strength and conditioning coach
i or the University of Miami football program in the sum-
(M net of 1999. During the three-month, unpaid internship,
^ iorkowski motivated the players and supervised their
/orkouts. He credited much of the knowledge he applied
hat summer to the classes he took at JMU, specifically

3H 'iomechanics, human anatomy, exercise physiology and
•H lUtrition. As a highly respected coach, Borkowski had no
'^^ 'roblems instructing the Miami players. "The players call
IP ou 'coach' and listen to everything you say, especially if
ou let them know why they're doing what you tell them."
Working 55-60 hours a week at Miami, Borkowski spent a

great deal of time with the football players. Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday were strength days which started at 7:00 a.m.
Every two hours a group of 20 players would report to
Borkowski's station. He met with five groups throughout
the day. His responsibilities included keeping the players
motivated, warming them up, stretching them and making
sure they were putting forth their best effon. On Tuesdays,
speed and ^ility days, the players worked on sprints, starts,
quick biu-sts, proper running techniques for optimal speeds,
and cutting and turning drills. On Thursdays, flexibility
training days, the players worked the abdominal region and
the lower back. Additionally, Borkowski and the other coaches
were assigned four players for the summer and were responsible
for the performance of those players during each day's workout.

Although Borkowski enjoyed working with the Miami
football team, he preferred having a variety of teams and
players. Among the teams with which Borkowski worked were
cross-country, track, wrestling, women's swimming, cheer-
leading, basketball and lacrosse. According to both Werner
and Borkowski, athletes were extremely disciplined and were
not penalized for their lack of performance, but only for not
being prepared. "Sometimes our expectations are too high,
so we make alterations as need be and give them a set goal, "
said Werner.

Borkowski appreciated the athletes' efforts and said, "I
like working with the wresding team because they're very
dedicated and will do exactly what you tell them."

Borkowski, who wrote the wrestling team's programs
and circuits, said much of his knowledge was acquired
through application of classes, experience and books he read
outside of the school's curriculum. Attending conferences
such as the Idea Conference in Baltimore, which holds
biomechanical and sports nutritional seminars, contributed
to his better understanding of strength and conditioning.
Borkowski hoped to continue his work for college athletes,
and eventually become a Certified Strength and Conditioning
Specialist and direct a strength and conditioning program.

So for every touchdown, three-pointer or home-run,
there was a strength and conditioning coach smiling, knowing
that there was a part of him that shared in that success. And
for every fumble, turnover or strikeout, there was also a
strength and conditioning coach who knew the next day's
workout might start a little bit earlier. And that he might
be little bit tougher. And that the gym lights might burn
a little bit longer. ■

While the majority of spectators searched

through their commencement programs

to locate names of graduating seniors,

others found a more beneficial use. The

two-hour main ceremony kept the record

crowd of approximately 20,000 under a

Virginia Lt. Gov. John H. Hoger speaks

words of widsom to the graduating

class and a record crowd in May

"You see, in marathons — as in life — you win because you've dreamed,
you win because you've dared, you win because you've tried with all
that is in you," Virginia Lt. Gov. John H. Hager told the graduating
class of 1999.

With mixed emotions ranging from sadness to elation, spring
commencement marked the end of one of life's marathons and a beginning
of another. Seniors crossed the finish line in college and began a new
race that involved a variety of choices including careers, traveling or
graduate school. "Jean-Paul Sartre once said that the best measure of
our success is the ratio between what we might have been, and what
we have become," said Hager. "By virtue of your being here today, you
all have proven that you are capable of great feats. Commencement
means beginning. Don't let it also be the end."

The graduates sat on the Bridgeforth Stadium field, some with their
caps decorated with writing or pictures, and listened to Hager liken life to
a marathon, noting that success in each requires dedication, hardiness,
intelligence, integrity and hard work. Due to complications fi-om polio,
Hager had been wheelchair-bound for 25 years. Despite his disability,
he was a successful businessman and had won several marathon races.
He encouraged the new graduates to live their lives to the fullest. "It
was Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, 'Make the most of yourself for
that is all there is of you.'"

Hager told the graduates to look forward to all of the possibilities
that the future would bring. "The new century will be filled with new
challenges, and you are the ones who can turn those challenges into oppor-
niniries, hope and promise for all our people, children and families."

Yet the occasion was memorable for more than bestowing diplomas
and sending graduates into the world. During the ceremony a record
2,300 graduates marched in a procession over 30 minutes long. The
audience of more than 20,000 parents, friends and guests was also the
largest in school history.

Following the main ceremony in the stadium, students from the
university's five undergraduate colleges parted and made their way to
smaller ceremonies where individual degrees were awarded.

The rest of the afternoon was spent celebrating at restaurants, parties,
barbecues or other gatherings. Some of the new alumni looked back
on their college years, reminiscing their favorite memories, refusing to
leave the university. Others contemplated the open door in front of
them, ready and willing to enter the world and leave college behind
them. But a few were trapped in the moment, recalling possibly Hager's
most important lesson of the day: "I certainly haven't finished first in
every marathon I've entered — but in finishing, I've won in all of them." ■

The Class of 2003 hopped into campus
Ufe with a little help from amphibian friends.
Freshmen orientation underwent a number of
changes, the addition of FROGs being one of
them. In the past, students attended two-day
summer sessions and moved in only a day before
the upperclassmen. Orientation Program Assis-
tants, although helpfiil, were far outnumbered
by the amount of confiised and anxious freshmen.
The program needed help. Although not the
same as those found in Newman Lake, FROGs
began jumping all over campus.

Under the direction of Steve Grande, the
associate director of the Center for Leadership,
Service and Transition, approximately 100 stu-
dents volunteered their time as FReshmen Orien-
tation Guides (FROGs). Applicants submitted
their suggestions on how to assist freshmen and
were asked to anend a training session beginning
on Aug. 22, 1999. Student FROGs trained from
8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday through Wednesday
and attended large group lectures. Grande called
the pioneering FROG group "incredibly enthu-
siastic and caring" and "very sensitive to the
transition issues freshmen face."

Despite the exhaustive itinerary, FROGs
Meghan Doherty and Ryan Eppehimer enjoyed
the week. "I was excited about the group discus-

sions. Having someone like us is comforting
for freshmen," said Doherty, a junior inter-
disciplinary social sciences major.

Eppehimer, a junior accounting major,
said, "I had more fun this year than I did my
freshman year."

Freshmen also agreed that the FROGs
were very helpfrJ. Freshman SMAD major
Catherine Staples said, "They're great. I give
them four-and-a-half stars."

Each FROG was assigned to counsel 30
freshmen during the four-day orientation;
however, their job didn't end there. They were
available to assist students throughout the
semester, making the transition even smoother.

"My orientation guy sucked," commented
sophomore FROG Kevin Root about his own
freshmen orientation experience. "I think he
could have made it a little better. I want all
these kids to like JMU as much as I do."

FROGs and people alike agreed that the
new system of orientation was a success. "I was
pretty impressed with the organization. Every-
thing ran smoothly," said Doherty.

According to Grande, freshmen "succeed
when they have people to relate to," but in
this case FROGs were just what the "green"
freshmen needed. ■

Junior John Kilmartin balances classes,
swimming and an active faith as he
trains for the triathlon in the 2000
World Championships in Perth, Australia

Standing on an ocean shore halfway across the world,
your toes clench the cool morning sand in anxiety. Surrounded
by numerous, talented foreign athletes, the myriad colors
of their uniforms crash into a swirl of white in your mind.
The red, white and blue you represent burns in your heart.
The crashing waves echo in your ears as you gaze out into
the vast, unpredictable waters of the Indian. Preparation
for the next few hoiu^s begins: you consider the 1.5km swim,
batding the strong ocean current; you think of the difficult,
40km bike trek through the rugged Outback; and you
envision passing a docile kangaroo in the final stretch of
your 10km nm. Jimior John Kilmardn faced such a challenge.
The varsit)' letterman qualified to represent the United
States in the 2000 World Championships in Perth, Australia,
to compete in the ultimate triathlon.

A competitive swimmer in high school, Kilmartin
competed in his first triathlon as a rising senior. Competing
triggered his instant admiration and love for the event. His
first competition was not taken too seriously — he forgot
his running shoes and wore a kid-sized bike helmet — but
it inspired Kilmartin to pursue triathlons on a more intense
level. Following graduation, Kilmartin became serious
about triathlon training. Although he focused on being a
swimmer, in the back of his mind he waited for another
opportunity to be a triathlete.

Kilmartin was recognized as an extraordinary talent
and was quickly recruited by swimming head coach Brooks
Teal. Looking for a school with a prominent team but also
a strong faith community, Kilmartin {continued on p. 74) »

(continued from p. 73) » explored the Christian fellowship
programs while on a recruiting visit. His trip sparked some
unease. The social scene discouraged him. What Kilmartin
described as a "sign from God" overpowered his discourage-
ment and convinced him that he found a new home for
the next four years. The sign was Jodi Jacoby. Not only was
Jacoby, then a sophomore, captain of the soccer team, she
was also steadfast in her Chrisdan beliefs. Kilmartin believed
had he not met Jacoby that night, he would have gone
elsewhere to pursue his swimming career. In Jacoby, he

found someone with shared beliefs, a common faith and
an abstention from drinking. Kilmartin knew where he
wanted to be.

Kilmartin's first year was an exciting and fulfilling one
as he immediately found his niche both in and out of the pool.
Unfortunately, his sophomore season was cut short. He
suffered a broken collarbone several weeks into the season.
Kilmartin was forced to put his triathlon training on hold.

On June 5, 1999, tryouts were held in Clermont, Fla.
for one of five open slots on the 1999 U.S. World Cham-
pionship team. After narrowly missing the qualifying dme
on the team earlier that simimer, Kilmanin viewed this meet
as his second chance. It was a win-win situation: making
the team would be another adventure, but the experience
would be a life-long memory. Kilmartin raced well and
qualified for the third spot on the team. He could barely
contain his excitement and astonishment. Although his
dream was becoming a reality, Kilmartin didn't want to
get caught up in the fame or commotion. "I want to live
this experience for what it's worth. I don't want to set high,

lofty goals for myself but live each day, race, and let the
Lord do the rest. '

Kilmartin traveled to Montreal for the 1999 World
Championships on September 1 1. He competed in the 20-
and-imder age group, finishing 1 5th, and the third American
triathlete overall. The '99 Worlds set the stage for what soon
would be the most significant event of his athletic career.
Kilmartin then traveled to St. Joseph, Mo., where he
qualified for the U.S. team that would compete in the 2000
World Championships.

"A year ago if you had told me I would be where I
am today, I would've laughed. 1 thank and praise the Lord
every day for where I am today," said Kilmartin. Although
he had six months to prepare for Austrailia, there was much
to do. Kilmartin worked with professional running and
biking trainers, yet his training didn't start until he had
fulfilled his obligation to the swim team. Running coach
Craig Lowry worked with Kilmartin beginning in January
1999. "Sky is the limit," said Lowry about Kilmartin's
potential. "He has definite talent."

Les Welch advised Kilmartin in bicycling fijndamentals.
As a biking consultant, Welch concentrated on position,
technique, aerodynamics and helping Kilmartin become a
more fluent and efficient biker. "John is extremely unusual
because he is a true novice cyclist. He has the potential to
become a famous athlete with practice," said Welch.

When the swim season finished in mid-February, the
bidk of Kilmartin's training began. He swam six days a week
for an hour-and-a-half each day, hiked seven days a week
for a total of 300 miles, and ran 30 miles a week. With a
schedule so demanding, Kilmartin kept himself on a strict
diet of "carbos, carbos, carbos" and ate as much of them
as possible. The week before the big event, he cut out any
food that he considered even "half-bad."

With such dedication to his preparation, Kilmartin
stood proud in the company of the world's finest athletes
in April. The gaze of wonderment, surveying the Indian
Ocean, shifted to fierce confidence hurled at his competitors.

Junior Brian Harms led his team of workers through the
house, pointing out to the left with a gloved hand. Walking
across the solid wood floors layered with sawdust and building
materials, the president of the campus chapter of Habitat for
Humanity gave instructions. The house had spent the past year
in various stages of renovation, and it was time to implement
the next phase. Beginning September 1998, Habitat for Human-
ity worked weekends alongside Harrisonburg Hope Commimity
Builders stripping the 150-year-old house down to its frame
and rebuilding it with all the modern conveniences for its new
owner, Ellen Walker.

Even with its new face, walking through the house was like
taking a walk back in time. Known as the Lucy Simms House
to the Harrisonburg community in remembrance of the former
slave and original owner in the 1850s, the house had seen a
number of residents during its lifetime. During the Great De-
pression, a family of 1 1 had lived in its quaners, taking up every
available space in the house, even the cramped spaces of the
dirt-floored cellar.

Walker, a single Harrisonburg resident and Gibbons Hall
employee, had been in the market for a house when she first
eyed the ramshackle remains at 231 E. Johnson St. Sitting on
a quarter-acre lot and surrounded by modern residences, the
house feced demolition. Community residents, recognizing its
significant history, pressured the city to restore the house and
make it habitable again. "Hope Community Builders bought
the house and was planning to destroy it and build a new one
on the same property. After receiving pressure from local resi-
dents to restore the house, however, they decided to find a
buyer," said Harms.

"When I walked in, I fell in love with the staircase and
decided this was the house I wanted," said Walker. The house,
valued at $91,000, faced over $52,000 in {continued on p. 78) »

not including labor costs. Hope
Builders stepped in, offering an interest-free loan to any
low-income person looking to purchase a home and help
restore the house.

After paying $10,000 for the property, Hope Builders
required Walker to put "sweat equity" into her new estate.
This agreement required her to work a certain number of
hours in exchange for labor from Hope Builders and student
organizations such as Habitat. "For the past year, I've
worked on this house every weekend, taking it apart and
building it up again. It's been my life," said Walker.

Walker and the Habitat members spent a year removing
old boards, clearing vines from the aluminum siding and
removing the crude plaster walls made of chicken wire,
mud and horsehair. "This has been one of the most enjoyable
projects I've worked on because of Ellen. Seeing her each
weekend, working alongside her and also seeing her on cam-
pus at D-Hall has made it more special for me," said Harms.

After completion, the house had heating, cooling,
plumbing and electrical systems for the first time since its
construction. All of the original doors and the tin roof were
kept to reflect the history of the house. "The frame is made
from real rwo-by-four oak beams so this house is smrdier
than most of the houses they build today," said Asrat Gebre,
executive director of Hope Community Builders.

With her new house. Walker focused on decoradng ideai
and dreamed of settling in. "I'm so frustrated, it seems like we've
been working on this house forever," she said. "I can't wait until
it's done. There's nothing like walking into your own home,
being able to kick off your shoes and do as you please." ■

Isaac Carter was too late in hearing the
screeching tires and the retorts from the gun.
He wasn't fast enough to dodge bullets. Isaac
was paralyzed. His distressed mother, Susan,
had to accept the enormous emotional burden.
On top of that, more realistic problems
surfaced. Susan had to assume the financial
responsibilities of her son's medical care and
help him deal with living in a place inaccessible
for disabled persons.

Isaac, destined to roll through life in a wheel-
chair, had difficulties assimilating to his new
lifestyle. His mother had problems juggling the
support of her three children and the costs of
Isaac's debilitation. Susan Carter needed a help-
ing hand. Central Valley Habitat for Humanity,
Inc., reached out to the Carters, providing the
assistance the family sought.

The campus Habitat chapter responded
to Central Valley, their parent chapter, with a
financial contribution as well as an offer of labor.
Habitat, in cooperation with the Greek community
and under the supervision of associates from
Nielsen Construction Co., agreed to build a
house in Grottoes, Va., for the Carter family.

Founded in 1 992 by Rev. Rick Hill, campus
minister for Presbyterian Campus Ministry, the
JMU Chapter of Habitat for Humanity was
officially recognized by the university as an
organization in October 1993. Under Central
Valley, Habitat agreed to raise $ 1 5,000 for the
house in Grottoes, a sum to be matched by the
Greek community. Nielsen also made a generous
contribution of SI 0,000, with Central Valley

for Humanity's fund-raising projea. Habitat raised

accepting the remainder of production and
construction costs. The house in Grottoes was
the campus Habitat chapter's fourth such projea
in the Shenandoah Valley area.

Habitat for Humanity International, the
parent organization that oversaw every local
chapter, offered affordable houses to low-
income families. Habitat International made
no profit from the sale price and charged no
interest on the mortgage. An average three-
bedroom house in the United States cost
$34,300 to build. Although Habitat built the
wheelchair-accessible house for the Carter
family, it was not merely a gift. Any family that
accepted a house averaged 450 hours of "sweat
equity hours," working on their own house or
another Habitat project.

In 1999, Habitat for Humanity International
completed their 80,000th house, but on Jan. 16,
Susan Carter was happy to have one wheelchair-
accessible home dedicated to her family. ■

A few weeks before the house's dedication, members
of Habitat and the Greek community display their
progress. The house was built to be wheelchair-

residents. ■ Photo by Todd Grogan

The group of 600 excited passengers set sail out of Nassau, Bahamas on Feb. 17. Their

destination: Havana.

{continued from p. 81) » Senior Nick MaJdonado was
fortunate to experience just that and much more through the
Semester at Sea program, offered by the Institute for Ship-
board Education and the Univetsity of Pittsburgh. Maldonado
applied for the program during the first semester of his sopho-
more year after attending an interest meeting sponsored by
the Office of Residence Life. Prospective students were re-
quired to complete a fiill semester at an accredited college or
university, have obtained a cumulative grade point average
of 2.75 or above and have written an essay explaining some-
thing significant in world history.

Once he enrolled for the spring 1999 semester, Maldo-
nado selected four of 50 lower and upper division classes
that covered a large variety of disciplines. His selections in-
cluded; Histon,' of Africa, World Literature, Theaters of the
World and a Core Class, intended to enhance the field ex-
perience gained in each county. These classes were 50 minutes
long and met every other day, with the exception of the
Core Class, which met ever)' day.

The S.S. Universe Explorer provided the ultimate floating
classroom, equipped with study loimges, a librar\', theater,
student imion, bookstore and even a swimming pool.

The trip cost close to Si 3,250, which included tuirion,
room, board and passage fair, and lasted from Feb. 17 to
May 28. When the ship returned to the States, himdreds of
parents and relarives stood on the dock to greet the seasoned
travelers. A plane flew by canying a banner that read, "Thanks
S.A.S. for a lifetime of memories."

"1 don't think that anyone really wanted to ever leave
the ship at that point," said Maldonado, looking back on his
three-month journey. »

On Feb. 28, 1999, Semester at Sea participants celebrate Neptune Day.

in order to ensure safe passage as they crossed the equator. Senior Nick
Maldonado, along with his classmates, participated in a ceremony where
they progressed from lowly pollywog status to high shellback status. "First
they dump fish guts on your head, then you kiss a dead fish, then you are
knighted. After the ceremony 38 girls decided to get their heads shaved."

Photographs and literature were on display in Carrier
Librar)-, documentaries were shown on televisions in Taylor
Down Under and graduates noted for outstanding alumni
contributions to the university were invited back to their
alma mater. Each of these activities was scheduled during
inaugural week, the week of Sept. 13, 1999.

With only tour presidential inaugurations before Dr.
Linwood Rose's, inauguration wasn't steeped in tradition.
Presidential terms lasted an average of 22 years throughout
the universit)'"s histor)'. Rose's predecessor. Dr. Ronald
Carrier, saw 27 years pass during his period of leadership.
With over nvo decades between new presidents, the Student
^Embassadors were determined to make Rose's inauguration
memorable, and did so by planning a variety ot activities
for the week.

Tuesday showcased two of the week's most visible
events. Dr. Rose and his family came to campus for the
1999 Dr. Rose Impersonation Contest on The Commons,
and later went to Gibbons Hall to enjoy dinner with the
student body.

Six students entered the impersonation contest. Parti-
cipants arrived in suits, speaacles and suspenders prepared to
imitate the fifth president of the university. A few contestants
even added gray highlights to their hair to be more convincing.

Senior Keith Fletcher, the contest's ultimate winner,
also acted as master of ceremonies. "A lot of luiderclassmen
haven't had a chance to get to know Dr. Rose," said Fletcher
about the contest's purpose. "It's important to let them know
he's a person and that they can approach him."

A combination of appearance accuracy and crowd re-
sponse scores resulted in the final f)oints for each competitor.

Fletcher finished first with 107 points followed by senior
Nick Langridge who earned 102.5 points. Finishing behind
them were Broderick Bond, Jeremy D'Errico, Jason Shaffer
and Patrick Horst.

Fletcher won his choice of 10 out of 20 donated prizes
ranging from airline tickets to the JMU football game vs.
Maine to gift certificates from Harrisonburg restaurants.

"Initially, I thought it was a little silly," said Dr. Rose
about the idea of a contest. "But I think it's a great balance
with the formality on Friday.'

Even though Rose returned home for a lew hours after
the contest, his day was not over. After changing into more
informal attire of slacks and a sports shin. Rose made his
way back to campus with his family by his side. Together,
they joined students for dinner at D-Hall.

"We feel it's important to know the students," said
Mrs. Rose about the reasoning behind the visit. "Plus, the
food's good."

After arriving at 5:30 p.m., the Roses made their way
past the finely decorated tables with crisp white tablecloths
and vases with single red roses, to Line 3 where they filled
their plates with some of their favorite foods, prepared
especially for their visit.

As the Roses senled into their seats at a table with mem-
bers of the SGA, a pleasant evening of conversation began.
While classics like "Respect" by Aretha Franklin filtered
through the D-Hall speakers, the president and his wife
chatted with students about tootball, summer activities and
the inauguration. "Most of us had read about the inauguration
planning in The Breeze," said junior Peter Swerdzewski,
"But we talked about how it was affecting him personally."

^6 !-Vuures

Most students agreed that the Rose dinner at D-HaJl
was one of many successful events that made the president
more visible to the student body. "I think it shows a close
relationship between him and the students, " and junior
Samuel Maltese.

Sophomore Josh Fultz agreed, "I feel like he's down
to earth and I can approach him."

On Thursday, the tocus of inaugural week turned to
the faculty. In the morning, faculty members were invited
to the Academic Affairs Breakfast in the Shenandoah Room
of Chandler Hall. As the administration and faculty
finished breakfast, preparations were being completed for
that evening's grand event.

No inaugural process would have been complete with-

out an inaugural ball. On the evening ot Sept. 13, the
lower level of College Center was transformed into a
sophisticated, lavishly decorated ballroom, appropriate
for guests such as Carrier and Zane D. Showker. A
number of guests made financial donations to the uni-
versity. The most notable gift was a $1 million donation
from alumni Stephen and Mary "Dee Dee " Leeolou ('78).
Their contribution was the largest alumni donation in
the university's history.

According to Dr. Rose, the ball was a thank you to
alumni, friends and faculty that had been generous to the
university. With luck, these donations would set the
standard of prosperity for the president and the university
for years to come. ■

Four months before the turn of the millennium, the
reigns of the imiversity were officially turned over during the
inauguration of a new president. In front ot an audience of
hundreds of faculty members, students and friends of the
university, former president Dr. Ronald Carrier officially
passed the torch into the capable hands of Dr. Linwood Rose.

The Sept. 17, 1999, inaue^^^ was a two-hour
ceremony held on the Quadr j-^^vent which Rose called,
"a celebration of our projwj^itage and fiiture," warranted
a day off for students anofaculty members. Freshmen were
required to be present as a part of their orientation program,
however most chose not to attend.

The ceremony began with a procession of student
representatives who entered to the tune of the trumpeting
Marching Royal Dukes. The JMU Wind Symphony pro-
vided the music tor the morning, which included a song
entitled "Madison, James Madison," written specifically
tor the event by 1 990 graduate Larry Clark.

As the presidency changed hands for the first time in
nearly three decades, audience members responded favorably
to speeches and the formal atmosphere of the occasion.

Senior Kara Leppert, an SGA senator, compared the
new president to Carrier, known afFeaionately to students as
"Uncle Ron" during his 27 years of sendee to the community.

"Dr. Rose is more reserved," said Leppert. "He has a
slap-on-the-back style of leadership. I think it's effective."

Students appeared to have high expectations for the
new president, who served as vice president in recent years
and acting president during the year prior to the inauguration.

In response to JMU's steady rise to the top of southern
public universities, international student Filip Ghitescu, a
senior, said, "I want to see JMU in the top of all imiversiues,
not just in the south."

Nick Pelzer on the other hand, was concerned about
Rose's relationship with students. A resident adviser in
Hoffman Hall, Pelzer echoed the sentiments of his
residents when he said, "I hope he does more than just
talk about helping students."

The freshman class was asked to attend in order to get
acquainted with Rose, his policies {continued on p. 91) »

speeches fromnnfluential figures such as Harrisonburg
Mayor Rodney Eagle and Donald Upson, from the office
of the governor, the few freshmen in attendance listened
to Rose's words.

Senior Brian EUis was realistic about the occasion, "His
influence on my college career is so limited."

Although he agreed with others that the inauguration
was an important, memorable event, Ellis felt one year
would not provide Rose an opportunity to make a dis-
jcernible impact on the graduating seniors.

Other upperclassmen were more vocal about the visible
lack in student attendance which was evident in the amount
of empt)' chairs.

Jimior Jack Kelly said, "This doesn't happen very often.
You should care enough to come out. "

Despite the shortage of students in attendance. Rose had
an important message for the campus in his speech. Rose
, oudined his goals within the framework of his theme, "All
Together One, " which he planned to implement immediately.
Since he was named president in fall 1998, he set tour
specific goals for his presidency: to keep students and their
needs as the institution's primary concern; to increase
resources to support facult)', staff and programs; to accept and

meet cal^Cr accountabilit)' from the public and lawmakers;
and to unite the campus communit}' in common purpose.

In his final words of the day. Rose acknowledged that
changes take time, and emphasized the importance of
patience and determination.

"As devoted educators, we have said, 'Just wait, you will

be pleased with the final product. Wait until our 20-year

olds are 40, 50, 60. Most will advance the public good, grow

the economy, become involved in their communities, serve

others and improve the quality of life.'" ■

Dance company brings
art to the srage

Dressed alike in stylized, bright-colored costumes, four
women entered the stage and awaited the start of the music.
Strains of upbeat music filled Latimer-SchaefFer Theatre
and the dancers began to move in a series of controlled yet
fluid movements. Roiling, gliding, jumping, the dancers
even used each other to express their artistry.

The modern dancers in the Virginia Repertory Dance
Company did not sparkle in tutus or don tap shoes for
their performances. Instead, they used their bodies to express
the emotions of modern dance.

By joining the exclusive company, junior and senior
dance members had the opportunity to work with nationally
and internationally acclaimed choreographers. Potential
members imderwent a rigorous audition. "They require you
to pick up movement quickly and perform it right away,"
said senior Tara McNeeley. Eight dancers made up the
company that was under the direction of dance professor
Kate Trammell. Throughout the semester, guest choreo-
graphers worked with the all-female group in preparation
for performances during the year.

"Working with the guest ardst is always exciting because
not only are we learning a piece but we're making great con-
tacts throughout the dance world," said McNeeley.

The company, which included juniors Courtney Hand
and Aaron Wine and seniors McNeeley, Kelly Bartnik, Jill
Bradley, Marisa Impalli, Kristi Nimmo and Anna Smith
had one main performance as part of the Masterpiece Season
in addition to a touring schedule. At the end of fall semester,
months of hard work culminated in a six-piece show, with
numbers ranging in tone from upbeat to dramatic.

Many of the dancers had been involved with the art form
in one way or another since they were very young. McNeeley
joined a modern dance studio at age five. "I was excited,
though when you are young it is usually more of a creative
movement class until you are older. I ended up staying until
my senior year." Hand danced at the Richmond Ballet
from the age of seven.

Under the direction of dance professor Kate Trammell, three dancers perform a
dramatic piece. The Virginia Repertory Dance Company was comprised of
eight juniors and seniors. The company performed one main recital in the fall
and held other performances on their spring tour. ■ Photo by Laura Greco

In addition to their classes and other dance ensembles,
the members of the company spent three to four hours
Monday through Thursday practicing. They also had
rehearsals and residencies, or workshops with the outside
choreographers. "It takes huge amounts of time that any
nondancer cant understand. It's very physically, mentally
and emotionally draining," said Hand.

Devoting so much of themselves to their art had a huge
payoff. Not only did the members develop relationships
within the company but they also had the chance to work
with the professionals they admired. "Lisa Race was amazing
in everything, an amazing person and dancer. I love her
movement. It (Water Landings, which premiered at their fall
performance) was my favorite piece in the concert," said Hand,
who was also impressed by a guest choreographer Fin Walker
from London. "She inspires me. I want to go to London so
badly now. Her movement is so detailed and intense."

Spending their time with the Virginia Repertory Dance
Company allowed the eight members to gain hands-on
experience in performing. The company performed for
university audiences but also for children in the area. "I love
seeing how excited kids can be with dance, and how eager
they are to learn from you," said McNeeley.

When the lights dimmed and the music began, the
hours of practice and preparation were all worthwhile for
the group. Sharing their love for modern dance with the
university community was anything but just routine. ■

drums and nonstudent Adam Carpenter

"Cheidk one, mic check one," called a voice. "Wake up,
Hillside Hall." An amp crackled and buzzed. A guitarist
strummed a few chords and the necessary adjustments were
made at the back of the smaller of the two stages. Septemberfest
was off to a rocky stan.

It was 1 1:45 a.m. The Sept. 18 show was scheduled to
begin at noon but the sound system was not working correcdy.
Students already began to wander onto the field and were
seated on the grass expectantly waiting.

The Franklins, a local student band, had been there since
1 1 a.m. and did not expect to have trouble with the sound
system. "They didn't tell us we needed a PA. It's all part of
a learning experience, that's typical," said drummer Jay McMiller.
Septemberfest was the biggest show The Franklins had
ever played. Sponsored by Tau Kappa Epsilon and the Knights
of Columbus, the outdoor concert benefited Special Olympics.
TKE brother Billy MofFett, a junior, explained, "Tlie Franklins
were friends with some brothers and they played at a beach
part}' we had. " Also playing before the headlining bands were
two other student bands: The Naked Anne and West Water
Street. The headlining bands included Hippopotamus,
Ki:Theor\', Fighting Gravity and Emmet Swimming.

The Franklins had been together for a little over a year
and usually played at bars, apartments and Greek fimctions.
The\' preferred to play at apartment parties, where they passed
around a tip bucket. Originally playing under the name Dr.

Spawn, the band changed
their name when they heard
that someone had called
them the "money band."

David Hailey, the lead
singer, was the only senior in
the band and he, according to
fan Kelly Harding, "demands
attention on stage. He has the
biggest mouth I've ever seen!"
Mark Pinnow, a sophomore,
was the bass guitarist and
had been playing the upright
bass and bass guitar since middle school. Junior Andy Trice
played lead electric guitar. "It's hypnotizing to watch him
play," said Harding of Trice's performance. McMiller, also
a jumor, was described as an "awesome drummer " by one fan.
Adam Carpenter, the only nonstudent, studied at Berkley
School of Music and moved up fiom Alabama to play with the

band. The group described their musical style as a combination of
Phish and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Septemberfest, which lasted until 6 p.m., began with a
performance by West Water Street, also comprised of students.i
They played a set of fiinky blues songs charaaerized by comical
and imconventional lyrics. Rippopotamus and The Naked Anne
followed them, and then The Franklins were scheduled to
perform a 30-minute set.

Rippopotamus played an upbeat, 90-minute set on the
main stage. Dressed all in black, the eight-member band's
music was a mixmre of funk and ska rhythms. With lyrics like,
"I'm just an average guy with a libido as high as the sky,"
the band entertained a Virginia crowd for the first time

The Naked Anne, a trio of guys, played a short but roUii
set of punk and hardrock sor^. The highlight of the performance
was an appearance by a male student clad only in an adult
diaper and sneakers.

The local bands played on the smaller stage while the
headlining bands performed on the larger, and better-equippec
main stage. "We apologize for any technical difficulties we had
today — it's a long story, guys," said Hailey to the audience a^
The Franklins prepared to play. A few moments before the)
were set to perform, a TKE brother informed them that Fighting
Gravity had to leave early and would therefore have to play
earlier. Despite the scheduling mix-up. The Franklins' music
did not seem to suffer. They began with an original, "Dave's
Jungle Boogie," and included two cover songs in their set,
"Walk This Way" by Aerosmith and "Take On Me" by A-Ha.
The group played only five of the 10 songs they had planned

"They're pretty tight," said senior Mike Shaw, a music
industry major. "It's obvious that they're all talented musicians.

Rippopotamus dnimmer Richard Gordan offered advice
for up-and-coming bands like The Franklins. "Don't get too
caught up in tPjing to do the hip thing, trying to follow trends
is a waste of time. It's better doing what you want to do and
playing from the heart, it'll sound better."

Schiavone McGee of Fighting Gravity also enjoyed
listening to The Franklins. "They sounded really great. I like
how they went from a jam style to a group style."

Toward the end of the evening Emmet Swimming
impressed the crowd with their usual fare of upbeat rock and
the sunset over Hillside Hall drew Septemberfest to a close,
The Franklins stayed to watch both The Naked Anne's anc
part of Ki:Theory's performance and left with some good
advice and a healthy dose of experience. ■

Seven percent of the student body chooses to pursue
a senior project in order to graduate with distinction

A lone student sat slumped in a back corner of the
library. The frosty December wind whipped against the
pane of glass. The room was desolate. The majority of
students had left tor the holidays.

This particular weary student was one of a different
breed. She was one of approximately 700 honors students
and she was diligently researching materials for her thesis
paper. At an average length of 60 pages, the project was
not something to start the night before. In fact, students
graduating from the Honors Program produced about 90
papers, each requiring extensive research and mentoring,
each year. Seven percent of the student population
successfully completed papers. Each project was bound
into a book and shelved for posterity in Hillcrest, Carrier
Library and in the library archives.

The honors thesis had been the defining feature of the
Honors Program since its inception in 1965. Since then,
the projea had served as the crowning glory of many students*
academic career. Many students were surprised to find that
any one with a grade point average of 3.25 or higher could
complete the project and graduate with distinction, not
only those who were part of the program. The thesis itself
covered anything from literature to science to dance.

At the end of their junior year, students submitted a
topic proposal. The potential thesis required acceptance by
not only the Honors Program, but one faculty member who
served as the project adviser and two others who created a
committee of readers. Each faculty member signed off on
each stage of the endeavor.

Dr. Joanne Gabbin, an English professor and director of
the Honors Program, admitted that, "If I'd had the oppor-
tunity at the undergraduate level, I would have taken it. It's
a rare opportunity to work with three faculty members who
only have interest in you. Students will never have that
support again." Most students do not receive such tutelage
until graduate school. "There is no price you can put on
mentoring from a faculty adviser," said Gabbin.

Students not only had the chance to build relation-
ships with professors, but completing the thesis demonstrated
a student had a strong sense of self-discipline and ambition.

"If we don't give our students confidence as they leave
this university, they have paid too much," said Gabbin. She
understood the confidence boost a 60-page thesis on a resume
could give a job-hunting student.

Some students found the projea to be too overwhelming
and failed to complete it. Most who [continued on p. 99) »

{continued from p. 96) » finished it found the process arduous,
but the result worthwhile. Class of '98 alumnae Katie Sechrist
was glad she had the opponunity to complete the project.
"It has helped me with just knowing that I can have a big
goal and follow through with it," said Sechrist. Working
closely with her professors was also a positive experience
for her. "It was really neat to get to know a professor more.
They would get just as excited as you in the research,"
reflected Sechrist. Sitting on a shelf in Hillcrest was a blue,
bound book entitled, "The Resurgence in American Home
Birthing" by Katie Sechrist. Sechrist considered going into
counseling because she enjoyed conducting personal inter-
views when she researched her topic.

Anderson Consulting employee Christopher L. Hubbard
('93), revealed in his Honors Alumni Update, that, "The
program reminded me of the value of iniriadve, hard work ...
going beyond the call of duty, this is an extremely important
lesson within my firm and in life in general."

Alumnae Annabelle Payne viewed the thesis favorably
and found that it had assisted her in her graduate work. "1
liked it," said Payne. "It's a wonderful thing to do, it gave
me a whole lot of insight and I learned a lot about research. "
Payne's thesis, entitled "Until Death Do Us Part," was
based on a personal experience: the death of her husband.

Senior Todd Brown used his honors project to secure
a job prior to graduation. He spent his summer and final
year at school developing software tools for a process data
management system at the pharmaceutical corporation,
Merck, Inc., as his thesis. "The job really involves tying
what I learn in an ISAT major with the real world, how
computers work with management." Brown's project not
only benefitted him but a successful corporation also.

Completing the thesis was clearly a worthwhile vennare.
Hard work and strict self-discipline were the driving forces
behind successfully finishing the project. Gabbin claimed
JMU had "the most extensive senior honors program this
side of the Mississippi." The presence of the paper on a
transcript only brought positive results.

The honors thesis, despite the energy and hours it con-
sumed, was cenainly an attainable goal for those students
not afraid of sacrificing time for hard work. Even if the
student became lead vocalist in a heavy metal band, he woiJd
be proud, having written that analysis of the history of rock
and roll. Smdents who graduated with distinction successfully
completed the senior honors thesis, and truly were in a
class by themselves. ■

Beginning work on her honors project in
the spring with the projea proposal, junior
Brooke Cashman wants her project to com-
bine English research and creative writing.
Like most seniors, Cashman had to find
time to fit her project into her busy schedule.

Senior Mandy Lamb stood by
the window playing die keyboard as she pracuced singing a
popular show nine. The draft that came through the window
scattered the sheets of music on the floor. As she bent
down to collect them, she backed into the authentic suit of
medieval armor that had been watching from the corner.

When visitors first entered 55 E. Granon St. they were
struck by the unusual interior of the house. Artfully decorated
with funky lamps, furniture and wall hangings, the Music
Box was far from the average student abode. The residents
were the first students to lease the house. The name derived
fi'om their self-described "heavy involvement with the music
theater program."

The four housemates were junior Noel Molinelli and
seniors Lamb, Ashlynn Brooks and Lori McKinney. While
McKinney was in London during the fall semester, Laura
Hall, who Molinelli described as "a super senior writh a 'real'
(nonmusic) major," subleased her room.

Featuring curtained vidndows and cabinets stuffed with
musical knickknacks, the dining room contained an antique
wooden dining set. The keyboard stood opposite to perhaps
the strangest thing in the house: the authentic suit of
armor freestanding in the corner. One of the roommates
found their knight in shining armor on the side of the
road during a road trip.

The walls of the house were covered with playbills and
musical posters and the couches were draped with decorative
blankets and pillows. The kitchen sported sky blue cabinets
and shelves. The highlight of the house was what the group
described as a "kitchen nook." The windowed area contained
a green table and benches. The kitchen was already decorated
when they moved in but the women took the liberty of
painting each of their bedrooms themselves. Molinelli credited
Brooks with much of the interior decorating that wasn't
usually seen in most student houses. Because of the pristine
interior, the women allowed their friends to have the keg
parties; the Music Box favored wine and cheese patties.

"It's like a real house: plenty of space, a great
location and it's really open and uncluttered," said
Molinelli, the only one staying in the house for another
year. Members of the Madisonians were schedided to
move in the follow-ing year with plans to make it a
music theater house permanentiy. ■

Started in 1992 by owner Ron Copelan, the Little GriU
Soup Kitchen began somewhat as an accident. The restaurant
was so busy one weekend that they actually ran out of food.
Due to exhaustion and lack of food, Copelan decided to
close the restaurant down that Monday to give employees a
break. Copelan was in the restaurant on Monday, and a
few people came around asking for food. This sparked the
idea for the soup kitchen.

Seven years later, Copelan was no longer involved with
the operation of the soup kitchen; instead he used the day
as his only day off to spend with his family. As for the soup
kitchen, it was run solely by volunteers. Vaunda Brown
and Mike Deaton acted as coordinators and took care of
all the preparation and organization. Brown had worked
with the kitchen since its inception and believed in its
cause wholeheartedly. "I know that 1 will be here every
week, and I know Mike will be here. But other than that,
we rely on people's good will to show up and volunteer.

Leading the Dukes to

their first-ever Atlantic-10

championship, new head

coach Mickey Matthews

brings pride and success

backtoJMU football

With one week before spring practices scheduled to
begin, the football program was hit with a big blow when
three-year head football coach Alex Woods resigned to
become the quarterbacks coach for the NFL's Minnesota
Vikings. As a result, the athletic department needed to find a
head coach and fast. On March 22, only seven days after
Wood's resignation, Texas native Mickey Matthews was
introduced as the program's fifth head football coach. The 45-
year-old Matthews, who was interested in the position when
Woods was hired, got the position because of his "enthusiasm,
motivation and knowledge of the game, " according to the
interim athletic director and men's head soccer coach,
Dr. Tom Martin.

Matthews said he had always wanted the job. "It has been
a goal of mine for a long time to be the head coach here. " He
had recruited and competed against JMU while at Marshall
University and knew a lot about the program. Matthews
joined the Dukes with great coaching experience from suc-
cessful programs at the University of Georgia and Marshall.

During his three years at Georgia, the Bulldogs won rwo
bowl games, and he coached the nation's top defensive player,
Washington Redskin's rookie Champ Bailey. "Champ was
fiin and easy to coach. He is an even better kid than he is an
athlete. You are lucky if you get to coach someone like that
once in your career."

Once named head coach, Matthew's first order of
business was to hire a coaching staff. "I wanted a good mix of
guys. I wanted coaches that I coached or recruited with and

people who knew the Virginia area. In order to win, we have
to recruit from Virginia. "

Matthews said his main goal here was to win a national
championship, but first he wanted to graduate every player
and make sure each athlete had an enjoyable experience. He
had his work cut out for him. JMU had a 3-8 record in
1 998 and a 23-22 overall record under Woods. Coach
Matthews felt his players were capable of winning. "These
guys can do it, but we need to change their attitudes and
rebuild their confidence to win." Before the season began,
Matthews said that the team's greatest strength was speed
on defense, which he felt justified hiring a fiill-time strength
and conditioning coach, which the team had never been
able to do before. The team's greatest weakness was their
inability to run the ball. The previous two years, the Dukes
had been last in their division in offense.

Matthews described himself as a very competitive
person. "This team has not been around a person who
wants to win as much as I do. Sometimes I may be a little
too competitive."

As for the coach's prediction before the season, "I
have no idea. I do not think I can predia anything because
I do not have a good feel for the league yet. I think our
toughest competition will be against Virginia Tech, Hofstra
and Richmond. As for right now, I just want to win. " The
team responded well to coach Matthew's philosophy.

With a new head coach and new coaching staff,
there were bound to be transition (continued on p. 110) »

In his home debut as head coach, Mickey
Matthews discusses strategy with assistant
coach Eddie Davis. Under Matthews' leader-
ship, the Dukes won the home opener
against Northeastern 29-21 and finished
the season as Atlantic-1 0 champions. ■

{continued from p. 109) > problems. Yet as evidenced by the
Dukes' success and players' attitudes, the transition between
coaches was easy. "The new coaching staff is real personable
and approachable. They treat everyone with respect no
matter if you play in every game or sit the bench. Coach
came in here and told us what to expect, and that is what
we got. He is a nice guy, but he is also a strong disciplinarian
and stressed academics, lifting and a hard work ethic," said
senior quarterback John DeFilippo.

According to Manin, "I saw an overnight difference in
the football players. They were smiling, working harder and
responding positively to all the changes."

New athletic director Jeff Bourne, hired in April of
1999, agreed with Martin. "Mickey has had the ability to
instill a sense of commitment and pride in our young men.
He has made them believe they can be successful in many
disciplines: academically, on the field and as individuals."
Bourne also said that Matthews' greatest strength was that
"He cares about his players more than himself and does
what is best for JMU."

Matthews also felt that his players responded well to
the coaching change. "My philosophy is a lot different from
coach Woods' philosophy, and I think the guys wanted a
change. They have been very recepuve. I have changed nearly
everything except the helmet." Matthews was excited about
the team's improvement. "They get better everyday and
the improvement is dramatic."

Martin felt the university was fortunate to get Matthews.
"He made a big sacrifice to come here, and we are lucky to
have him. He is a player's coach, a people person, aggressive,
and has a strong football background. The trump card for
me was that Mickey came from a highly respected football
program that had done very well. He has a tradition of
successful backgrounds in Division I-AA programs."

The Dukes opened the season against Virginia Tech, and
despite the 47-0 loss, many agreed it was a worthwhile
experience. "You always want the chance to play against the
big boys," said DeFilippo. The Dukes then went on to win
seven straight games against Northeastern, New Hampshire,
Delaware, Villanova, William & Mary, Connecticut and
South Florida. It was the Dukes' second longest winning
streak in the team's 27-year history. The Dukes lost three
out of the last foiu- games of the season, including a Division
I-AA playoff loss to Troy State.

"The loss to Maine was disappointing because we should
have beaten them, but the Hofstra and Troy State teams were
bi^er and more physical than us. I thought we played well, as
well as we could have against both teams," said Matthews.

According to Matthews, the Richmond game was the
best game of the season for him. "Against Richmond, we lost
so much, two quarterbacks, but the guys pulled together and
worked very hard to win."

Matthews said the toughest part of his job was building
confidence in his players. "The guys have been through so
much and never had the confidence to win. I knew this
team was capable of winning, it was just a matter of making
the players believe that. The biggest reward for me and my
staff was seeing the players' faces after every win."

Coach Matthews led the Dukes through a successful
8-4 season, clinching their first-ever Adantic- 10 championship
and receiving their first NCAA bid since 1995. The Dukes
ranked second in the conference for scoring defense, turnover
margin, rush defense and sacks, and third in the conference
in kickofif returns, punt returns and pass defense. They also
ranked fourth among opponents in total defense. Matthews
attributed one of the team's highlights this season to being,
"plus 10 in turnover margin." He also attributed the success
of the defense this season to junior defensive end Chris
Morant and three newcomers, senior Mike Luckie, sopho-
more Derick Pack and junior Ron Atkins. Combined, the
four defensemen led the team in tackles with 398, 30 sacks,
five fumble recoveries and three interceptions. Coach
Matthews recruited Luckie from Georgia and Pack from
West Virginia.

Mickey Matthews brought success to the football pro-
gram. After finishing 3-8 in 1998, Matthews turned the team
into conference champions and NCAA playoff contenders.
And his accomplishments did not go unnoticed. Matthews
was awarded both the Adantic- 1 0 Coach of the Year and the
Eddie Robinson Award for I-AA Coach of the Year. "Coach
Matthews did an outstanding job in leading the Dukes this
season. He has clearly instilled a winning spirit among our
players and has brought an excitement back to the football
program," said President Linwood Rose. "Coach Matthew's
enthusiasm for the game and his positive attitude appear to
have inspired our players to great accomplishments. I see a
very successful football program in our fitture and it will
have a very positive effect on the esprit de corps of students,
alumni, faculty and staff." ■

The five residents of Sketchy House, senior
Adam Prem, sophomore Bret Stone, senior
Jamie Hargrave, junior Patrick Lowry and
senior Cliff Parker gather around their JMU-
inspired sign. Located on Patterson Street
amongst official university houses, the men
decided to blend in by naming their house
and adding the replica sign. ■ Photo by
Kirstin Reid

Inside a white house
on Patterson Street, a bottle slowly rolled across the slanted
floor, crashing into a cracked wall. The canted window shed
sunlight on the poorly constructed infrastructure. On the front
lawn, an imitation, standard brown campus sign branded the
strange place Sketchy House. To the miJtitudes of feculty and
students who noticed the house with overgrown shrubbery,
many were fooled. Some even wandered up to the front porch
but did not find a single desk or professor.

Although marked as a campus building, this one was diff-
erent from the rest. Sketchy House was a house well known for
its originality. Its residents, seniors Cliff Parker, Adam Prem,
Jamie Hargrave, junior Patrick Lowry and sophomore Bret
Stone, felt that the house reflected their personalities.

The current residents came up with the name Sketchy
House two years ago in anempt to accurately describe their
house's unique appearance and the strange events that occurred.
To blend in on a block filled with academic buildings, the room-
mates decided that their house needed a name. The inspiration
for the name originated from an event that they felt could only
happen at their house. While the roommates were hanging out
on their lawn, a robust man with a 40 oz. in hand stumbled
down the walk, accompanied by his dog. Psycho. The ensuing
conversation sketched-out the roommates. They felt that inci-
dent was an excellent depiction of their house's character.

"There are lirde parts of each of us here, " said Hargrave.
Inside, the walls were decorated with memorabilia of their lives: a
mural painted by a friend; a collage of pictiu-es; a champagne
botde from their swimming championship; and their pride and
joy, their Kegerator. The roommates inherited the house from fel-
low swimmers and intended to pass down their unique legacy
to firiends and "anyone else who wants to be sketchy," said Prem.

"This house is constant comedy," said Hargrave. Social
events highlighted life in the Sketchy House. A spring formal
named Mystical Magicality was their favorite party of the year.
A Pimch Party and a Pajama Party became annual traditions.

Another unique characteristic about the house was its
nonhuman residents. Derrick the Iguana, Grant the Spider
and Sporty the Hedgehog also took up residence.

Sketchy House was far from an administrative building, but
1 53 Patterson St. certairJy became a campus landmark. Regard-
less of the house's sketchy characteristics and its unique decor,
the best part about living in the Sketchy House was "living
with your best friends,' smiled Hargrave. ■

Washington, D.C. The four students not
only gave out peanut butter and jelly sand-

While other students were snug in their beds early on a
Saturday morning, the Peanut Butter and Jelly Patrol headed
up Interstate 81 to spend the day in the nation's capital.

Several times a semester, juniors Jason Young, Joe
Arner and Andrew Zorn, and freshman Luke Amann hit
the streets of Washington, D.C, to hand out peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches to the homeless population, to lend
a thoughtful ear and to spread their belief in God.

"We usually go around the Pennsylvania Avenue area,"
said Jason Young, nicknamed "Jelly Jay," the one behind the
_^eginning of the group on campus. "We find many homeless
people right in back of the White House, which is really
ironic, considering that it is the center of this supposed 'land
of opportunity' and here are people living on the streets."

Young got the idea for the PB&J Patrol last summer
after a bus trip to Minnesota where he and a friend handed
out sandwiches at each bus stop. "It worked out well, " he
said. "We got on a radio show and received donations from a
church in the area."

WTien Young returned to campus in August, he and
Arner, nicknamed "Just Spread 'Em Joe" (he handled the
task of spreading the peanut butter), decided to take action
closer to this area. "All four of us are Chrisdans," said Arner.
"This is one way that Christ has changed our hearts. So,
it's not really us that has prompted us to do this. It's God."

This caring gesture sometimes even surprised the reci-
pients. "Some people ask us to place the sandwich on the for
end of the bench and not to say another word," said Amann,
called "Loafy Luke." "Some laugh at our goofy nicknames,
and some open their hearts to us for an hour."

Though many were impressed by their giving nature,
personal gain was not their intention. "We call ourselves the
Peanut Butter and Jelly Patrol and we give out sandwiches
and what not, but giving them out isn't really our goal,"
said Arner the day after a trip to Washington. "We try to
give out kindness and caring in the form of a listening ear.

"I used to try to help others
to fulfill a personal need, to feel
like I did something good. Now,
though, I believe that giving has to
be focused on the receiver. I don't
do this because it makes me feel
good. In fact, I try to forget about
myself when I do it."

Young agreed. "[A sandwich]
is not going to fill a person's hun-
ger, but using that sandwich as a
tool to open up a conversation ...
[may] fill their greater hunger of
loneliness and low self-esteem. A
lot of these people need someone
to listen to them, not to just throw
change at them and walk away."

The trips to Washington allowed the four to form close
bonds with some of the homeless people they have helped.
"I have met so many good people who all have their own stories
to tell and a few mistakes or misfortunate occurrences put them
on the streets," said Arner. "Norman's been on the street since
1967. Bob has a hard time getting treated for his illness caused
by service in Vietnam. Mary Theresa got involved with
the wrong guy. People are the same. We all make mistakes,
we all have our stories and we all can help each other out."

These relationships also taught the four some of life's
greatest lessons. "A lot of people just assume that these needy
people are so much different than themselves, that they are
almost a different breed," said Young. "But the deeper you
talk with people, the more these outside barriers of the way
they dress, the way they look, the situation they are in, even
the way they talk, fade away. We start to feel a deeper and
deeper connection with these people.

"When we sit down next to them on the park bench,
or on the sidewalk, you can see a sparkle in their eye. Some

don't want us to leave. Whenever we're about to get up,
they'll start on another topic, just to get us to stick around.
We hardly have to say anything at all. A lot of times, all they
need is somebody who genuinely listens to them."

The four were perhaps even more affected by these
visits than the homeless they helped. "It is just so incredibly
awesome to walk away after one of those moments and
think about how this person has just impacted your life,
because they all do," said Young. "I'm learning so much
from these people. What I've really been learning lately is
that you can't assume anything about anyone. You have to
go and talk to those people. A lot of times, the craziest,
scariest looking guy that everyone avoids, is actually the
friendliest, most wholesome one out there."

Perhaps most importandy, the four learned to appreciate
what they had and others did not. "God has been so kind
to me, so I want to be kind to others," said Zorn, "Skippy
Andy." "Jesus said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive,'
and I have experienced that to be true." ■

aMemative radio station

You heard them. Whether you were an avid listener, you
stopped at 88.7 once or twice as you scanned the airwaves on
your car's radio or you simply heard the strange muffled
sounds coming from inside their door as you tried to study in
the Anthony-Seeger Hall lobby ... you heard them. With a
potential of 90,000 listeners throughout the Shenandoah Valley,
88.7FM WXJM was one of the most far-reaching media
oudets on campus, providing students and area residents with a
listening alternative.

Tuesday Sept 21,1999

According to their constitution,WXJM provided "news to its
listeners as a means of contributing to intellectual growth and
stimulation, discussion and communication." According to
their brochure, WXJM was "390 immense watts of student-
run power!" And according to the stuff on their walls, WXJM
was ... well, that you had to decide for yourself A sign on the
bulletin board in the hall outside their office door read, "You
post here, you die a slow death by plastic fork." Once inside,
visitors were greeted by walls covered from floor to ceiling with
posters, flyers and an assortment of art created with CDs,
styrofoam, picture frames and plastic dolls. Can't figure out
where you're going? Check out the INDIreaory. The
ingenious device allowed guests to press a button
abeled with their desired destination and revealed
the location on a lighted map. Located toward
the back of their office complex was the main
broadcast smdio where student disc jockeys
produced their own shows in addition to
ive performances and talk shows. Between their
70-plus DJs, WXJM managed to entertain the Har-
risonburg area 24 hours a day, seven days a week with a
variety of music ranging from progressive to jazz, from techno
to reggae, from urban to loud rock, {continued on next page) »

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

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

Did you suffer any kind of injuries that
challenged your future in tennis? The

worst injury I suffered was a herniated
disk, which sidelined me all fall. I am
known on my team as the permanent
injury. I have tendonitis in both knees,
continuous back spasms; I've torn both
rotator cuffe, pinched a nerve in my neck,
had tennis elbow three times, four
sprained ankles and more blisters than
1 can count. I think the training room
has a whole hook on my injuries.
Do you hope to pursue any aspect of
tennis alter college? 1 am going to try to
play some pro tournaments this May in
Germany, but after that 1 am starting
my search for a 'real' job. 1 don't think
I could cut it on the tour, but it will be
fim to live like a pro for a while. ■

Did you start playing tennis here as a
freshman? 1 did start as a freshman. 1
had the heart but not the skills. 1 sat
out for a little while that first year.
Did you ever find it hard to balance
tennis and school? It was hardest as a
freshman. It's still not easy now, but I've
learned how to make the most of my time.
What has been the hardest thing to go
through either in tennis or academics?
When times suck, they suck all together.
When 1 wasn't doing well in school, it
carried onto the coun. It took some time
to be able to get both under control.
Did you suffer any kind of injuries that
challenged your fiiture in tennis? Right
now I've got a back injury which sucks
because it's at a time when I feel most
confident with my game. I've been doing
rehab for it and will be ready in the spring.

Do you see yourself as a leader on the
team? Being one of the seniors, I think
what I do has bearing on the others. This
makes me watch what I'm doing during
praaice because I don't want to slack and
have the freshmen think that they can
slack too. 1 believe I was chosen as a cap-
tain because I am always cheering during
competition and helping out my other
teammates when I get a chance.
What were yoiu- goals/hopes when you
first started playing tennis here? I had
high hopes, but not enough game. Over
the years I've developed a game, but I've
been hurt during the tall and have only
the spring to see what's up.
What have you learned through your
experience on the team? Ive learned a
lot as tar as discipline goes, and to get
what you want you can never give up. ■

Why did you choose soccer and JMU?

I have always participated in many sports
throughout my life, but soccer has always
remained at the top of the list. In terms of
choosing JMU, I actually transferred here
my sophomore year. A few things were
involved in the transfer: first I love the
location, being near the mountains; and
second, the success of the women's stxrcer
team here was also a huge consideration.
Do you see yourself as a leader on your
team? I hope that I have somehow helped
my teanunates in one way or another and
majhe if vocally I have not been the strong-
est, then through example of my actions
I have provided some leadership.
Do you hope to continue your soccer
career after college? Yes, I'm looking into

women's professional leagues overseas.
What have you learned through your
experience on the team? ... that playing
soccer is just half of it. Playing on a team
has a lot to do with building strong
friendships with teammates and working
for each other through the many experi-
ences college has to offer.
Have you foimd it hard to balance both
soccer and school? This is my senior year
and 1 still haven't found a balance be-
tween school and soccer. But I seem to
do better in school during soccer season.
What has been your most memorable
moment? The most memorable moment
is that awesome feeling that goes through
my entire body when the final whistle
blows and we have just defeated a team. ■

Why golf at JMU? I started playing golf
when my family moved to South Carolina
and we lived on a golf course. I iust
picked it up and played all through high
school. 1 chose JMU because it had a
good reputation and a degree from here
looks good. Even though I was recruited
by other schools, I wanted to go to the
better school so I decided to take my
chances and walk-on here.
What have you learned? I have learned
how to manage rime, my capabiiiries and
about myself.
I Do you see yourself as a leader? I see
myself as a leader but not so much as a
vocal leader. 1 think the things 1 do and
the way I act has an influence on the
younger guys and that is what makes
me a leader.

Do you want to pursue golf after college?
No, not really, I just wanted to go to a

good school, play a litde golf and see how
well I could do. I have never thought of
myself as a potential pro golfer. I want
to graduate and go to physical therapy
or medical school.

What were your goals coming to JMU?
1 didn't really have any long-term goals.
There were more short-term goals like
making the team as a walk-on, playing
in all the tournaments and improving.
Has it been hard balancing school and
golf? Yes, very much so. We spend a lot
of rime practicing and traveling especially
since we are a double-season sport. I think
we travel and practice more than most
of the other sports.

Coach's comments: Scott has been a real
contributor tor our team. He is a solid
golfer because he has a good all-around
game and strikes the ball solidly. He also
shoots low scores which helps the team. ■

what made you want to wrestle? I ve
been wrestling since the second grade. I
transferred here in January 1 997 because
the school is awesome but also because my
brother went here and wresded here. He
was a big influence on me coming here.
What were you goals coming to JMU?
Honestly, I didn't really know what to
expect coming from a bigger wrestling
program to a smaller one. All 1 really
wanted to do was bring my style of wrest-
ling here. 1 don't think many people have
had the same experiences as I have in
wrestling and 1 hoped I could bring that
experience to JMU. At Rider 1 played on
a Top- 1 0 wrestling team in the nadon so 1
know the mentality and work that it
takes to be on a higher level.
Have you ever found it hard to balance
both school and academics? Definitely.
I think any student adJete would tell you
the same thing, but sometimes it's even
harder because we practice at 6:30 a.m.,
which makes for a very long day. People
always tell us to put school first but that
isn't always easy when you travel so much.

What have you learned through your
experience on the team? Leadership skills;
when 1 transferred here 1 was made captain
right away. 1 think 1 had a lot of experience
and knowledge and that is why the coach
made me a captain. 1 also learned time-
management skills and a hard work ethic.
What was your most memorable mo-
ment? Leading the team to its first ever
state championship and state conference
ride. It was my first year wrestling here, we
were a small, unknown team and unex-
peaed to vrin, so it was nice when we did.
What has been the hardest thing to go
through in your career? Transfering was
probably the hardest thing, but more aca-
demically than athletically. I lost 18 credits
when 1 transferred so I'm repeating classes
I've already taken, which is frustrating.
Athletically, the transition wasn't as hard
because my brother was here at the time
so I knew a lot of the guys on the team.
Do you hope to pursue wrestling after
college? I'd love to coach. I want to get a
teaching degree and coach and teach at
the high school level. ■

What have you learned through your
experience on the team? I ve learned
communication and attitude are the
key to successful relationships.
What has been the hardest thing to go
through? Balancing school and fencing
is the challenge. Sometimes it's really
hard to keep focused on practice and
competition, but in the end it's worth
the effort that I put into the sport.
Do you see yourself as a leader? As cap-
tain, 1 have to set a good example for
those around me, including my team-
mates. 1 think I am a respectable person
and that makes me a respectable leader.
Do you hope to continue with fencing
after college? I may participate in the
USFA (United States Fencing Associa-
tion) after college, but after eight years
in this sport 1 am probably going to take
some time off.

What were your goals coming to JMU
and the fencing team? As tar as joining
the team, my goals and expectations were
to have fun and improve in fencing. 1
think I have achieved both.
Did you get a lot of playing time?
Freshman year through senior year, 1 got
plenty of fencing time on the strip. My
coach is really good about making time
for everyone to get into competitions
and to travel with the team.
Coach's comments: Laura has been a
great athlete for a coach to have for four

What made you choose gymnastics? I

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

after college? After college youi gymna-
stics career is pretty much over, except
for coaching. 1 have coached at my gym
at home for sometime and would like to
continue after school. I definitely would
love to work as a physical therapist in a
sports-related environment.
■What was the hardest thing that you had
to deal wdth? The hardest thing was the
bad luck that oiu- team had my sophomore
year. Our assistant coach was in a bad car
accident. The list of player injuries went
on and on; ever)'one seemed really dowTi.
A memorable moment? Being part of
the gymnasucs team has been something

Sport: soccer; center fullback

Hometown: Clifton, Vo.

Major: health services administration

What made you choose soccer? I have
been playing soccer since I was four and
just kept with it. I was successful as a yoimg
player and telt 1 could play Division I.
What made you decide to come to JMU?
I actually transferred to JMU from UVA
my sophomore year because I loved every-
thing about JMU. The atmosphere here
is very friendly and outgoing and 1 fit in
much better than when I was at UVA.
What have you learned through your
experience on the team? 1 have learned
that the best team doesn't always win and
that if you lead people will follow; for
example, with intensity or your work ethic.
What is your most memorable moment
playing soccer for JMU? My most mem-
orable moment came my senior year
when we beat UVA for the first time ever.
It was especially great because I used to
go there and we were the underdog.
Did you have to deal with any adversity?
One ot the hardest things I had to deal

with was the fiiCT that I didn't start or play
much my sophomore year. My freshman
year 1 started and played in every game so
it was hard for me to sit on the bench
when 1 knew I could be out there playing.
My confidence went down and so did my
enthusiasm. Thanks to friends and family
I was able to build up my confidence and
earn a starting position my junior year.
Have you foimd it hard to balance soccer
and school? Traveling a lot and practicing
every day took up a lot of my time. How-
ever, it taught me that 1 had to manage
my time properly in order to be successfiil
in the classroom as well as on the field.
Do you see yourself as a team leader ?
1 feel that I became more of a leader my
senior year. As a senior, it is your duty to
lead those around you. Younger team-
mates really look up to you. I felt that 1
communicated well with my teammates
and that 1 picked them up and encour-
aged them when needed. ■

What made you decide to choose gym-
nastics and JMU? I've been a gymnast
since 1 was seven and competing since I
was nine, so it has always been a big part
of my life. It just seemed namral to con-
tinue in college. I chose JMU because the
gymnastics and academics seemed like
a good fit for me, and it wasn't too far, or
too close to home.

What have you learned through exper-
iences on the team? ... teamwork. In
college gymanstics, the top six on each
event compete for the team. This means
sometimes you have to sacrifice what you
want for what is best for the team. It
also means that your attitude affects the
team and the team's performance. If
you're not having the best day, it's impor-
tant to be there tor your teammates and
encourage them, so they're not pulled
down or you.

Do you see yourself as a leader? Not so

leader by example. I realize that the fresh
men and underclassmen look to up the
seniors, and that it is my job to stress the
importance of school and to show them
what it means to be a part of our team.
■What was the hardest thing you had to
deal with? Coming back after my knee
surgery my senior year of high school. 1
just was just starting to get back into gym-1
nasties when I came to JMU as a fresh-i
man. I was in a new situation with a new
team and 1 was scared.
What was your most memorable mo-
ment? My most memorable moment was
our ECAC conference championship m\
sophomore year. It was a home meet
and there were more screaming fens in
Godwin than we've ever had. We had
been plagued by injuries that year, and
were lucky to have six healthy people to
compete on each event. We had an awe
some meet and really proved the strengtf
of our team after such a rough season. ■

Sport: archery; men's compound

Hometown: Eorlysville, Va.

Major: English

What made you choose archery? I've
been shooting a bow for a really long
time, it was always something to do that
helped ease my mind.
Why did you decide to come to JMU?
1 talked to my coach. Bob Ryder, and he
encouraged me to come shoot hete. Other-
wise I might have ended up at UVA.
What have you learned through your
experience on the team? I think mental
toughness is one ttait that comes with
shooting archery on a competitive level.
What is your most memorable moment
playing your sport for JMU? My fresh-
man year at nationals at Texas A&M, my
team came close to knocking off the top-
ranked Aggies squad, and it came down
to the last few arrows. Definitely one of
the most intense shoots I have ever been
to, even though we lost.
Do you hope to pursue any aspect of
archery after college? 1 will always shoot
archery. It's one of those things I will
never be able to put it away for very long.
But, I've found that in atchery. like so
many other things, the race is most often
with yourself, not the competition.
What would you consider yoiu role on
the team? I'm team captain — above all
other things. Then, maybe I'm just one
of the guys, but I always come back to
the idea that I want to watch out for them
as best 1 can.

Did you suffer any kind of injiu'ies that
challenged your future in archery?
Yes, I dislocated my left shoulder lifting
weights, just befote nationals my sopho-
more year. I went through a lot of rehab
to get it back together, but 1 did question
if I would ever again be 100 percent. ■

Sophomore Jake Adams spent most of his '
and Sunday nights in Taylor Hall hopefullvlji
arrival of a curious soul. He wasn't there ti^mg to convince
anyone of some new belief or to donate money to his cause.
He just wanted to talk. As president of the Baha'i Associa-
tion, Adams was always looking to share the happiness his
faith provided him. "This is what
I had been looking for my entire
life," he said, "I knew I could live
by these beliefs."

On a large and diverse cam-
pus, Adams wasn't the only person
eager to share his faith. With over
1 8 different religious organizations,
students had many opportunities
to become spiritually involved.

One of the largest groups on
campus was Catholic Campus
Ministry, with approximately 4,000
participants. In addition to attend-
ing weekly Mass, many students
dedicated their time to other acti-
vities such as volimteering at local soup kitchens, Bible smdies
and alternative spring break trips to Philadelphia and Oaxaca,
Mexico. "I think a big part of our strength is just the sheer
number of people involved and the wide breadth of diff-
erent activities we do," said CCM student campus minister
Mike Rodihan, a senior.

But a large following wasn't the only thing that made
a religious group strong, as seen by the Lutheran Student
Movement. With 20 members, this group was comparable
to any of its larger counterparts with a choir group and
weekly worship dinners where all the members came together
to talk about their faith. "The intimacy of our small group
helps us learn about one another better and strengthen our
spiritual path," said president Paige Pitsenberger, a senior.
Not all groups were structured into specific denomi-
nations. Groups like InterVarsity Christian Fellowship,

Reflecting in the quiet hallway of Miller Hall,

faith Christian fellowship, that held weekly
meetings in Miller. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid

Campus Crusade for Christ, and Brothers and Sisters in
Christ (B.A.S.I.C.) took students from all different Christian
denominations and brought them together in a social setdng.
"Our goal is to reach out to the campus," said InterVarsity
president Amanda Schmitt, a senior. And that's exactly
what the group tried to do with their guest speakers, dinners
and talent acts. "There are social aspects," she added, "but
the activities are also well-grounded."

Donna and Tom Parish of B.A.S.I.C. didn't have the
dme to meet on a regular basis with their members, but they
tried to have lunch every once in a while to check up on
how their students were doing. It gave them a chance to
share their faith without the coordinating of busy sched-
ules for weekly meetings.

While most of the university's groups had a Christian
focus, several other religions were also present on campus.
In addition to the Baha'i Association and the Muslim
Student Association, the Hillel Counselorship was a very
popular group amongst the Jewish community. By organi-
zing religious holiday events such as a Rosh Hashanah
Dinner and campus-wide events like Holocaust Remem-
brance Day, the group supported their spiritual faith even
when they seemed so outnumbered. "I would like QMU]
to be a bit more diverse," added Hillel president Tammy
Bercowitz; however, she didn't let the small size of her
group diminish her strong beliefs.

Even with a multitude of religious organizations,
there were still some nonbelievers. A significant amount
of students couldn't say whether or not they believed in a
higher power. "I'm not definitely saying there isn't a
God," said senior Michael Johnson. "I just haven't been
convinced yet."

Well if it was convincing he needed, Johnson or any
of his other fellow nonbelievers couldn't complain that
there weren't enough places for them to talk about their
spiritual confusion. All they had to do was drop by Taylor
on any Wednesday or Sunday night; Jake Adams was happy
to get into a discussion on faith. ■

From original
art cinemas
to the premiere
of "Dogma,"
Grafton-Stovall
Theatre offers
something for
everyone

Modernized movie theaters are missing the picture.
Audiences are stadium-sat and overcharged for glorified
food passed off as dinner, while shown rehashed plots andi
cliched characters, only with sharper pictures and a Dolby
certified sonic boom.

However, there existed an alternative on campus to all
this remodeling, and one needn't worry about parking. Tht
bike rack was always empty. Grafton-Stovall Theatre was
our friendly cinematic savior.

Built in 1978, Grafton-Stovall originated as a lecture
auditorium. By year's end, they began showing movies orl
Sundays. Dr. James Ruff, professor of English, had been
showing films in Wilson Hall and Harrison Hall, but was
excited for the new venue. "As soon as Grafton-Stovall
was built, we moved the film study course there."

And time moved on, technology changed. With all the
improvements in film and sound, Grafton-Stovall's equip
ment became obsolete.

Dr. Charles Turner, professor of the School of Media
Arts and Design, recalled the technological drought. "Th
screen was offset, not hung direcdy facing the projector. This
meant that the film could only be in focus on isolated
parts of the screen."

In 1995 Grafton-Stovall underwent a massive interio
facelift. In 1998, audiences began to experience Dolby
Pro-Logic sound, powered through 1 5 separate speakers.

Grafton-Stovall offered a wide variety of movies,
ranging from art cinemas to blockbusters, and the free
Sunday movies offered a quiet conclusion to the week.
"What better way to celebrate than to see a movie ...
free," said "Grafton-activist" Tom Hummel, a senior.

"I'm a Woody Allen freak!" screamed senior Tamar
Anitai. "When they played four or five Woody Allen film:
one week, I made sure I saw each and every one."

Grafton-Stovall also occasionally featured movies
followed by an appearance from the director. In recent year,!
Spike Lee, John Waters and Kevin Smith spoke to jam
packed auditoriums.

In October, Grafton-Stovall premiered Smith's latei
films, "Dogma, " a week before its national release date. Stu
dents responded in full force, swamping the theater with jj,.
almost double the seadng capacity of 610. Senior Matt Stalq
director of cinematic events for the University Program
Board, had volunteers guard the exterior doors and even
requested campus cadets tor crowd control. At 9 p.m., theate
volunteers began handing out tickets. By 9:30 the show wa
sold out. Staley wasn't surprised. "WTien I walked by th(
theater at 5 p.m., there were already two guys waiting in line.

Yet Grafton-Stovall doesn't limit itself to professiona i^^^
film. On April 10, 1996, the first-annual Student Film
Fest was held in the cramped space of Taylor Down Undo (j.
The next year the festival expanded and moved to Grafto: j.
Stovall. The 1999 festival featured the largest number o: ^

iW ibmissions to date, with so many animation entries that
rganizers had to separate entries into two judged categories:
limation and hve action.

The irony is that, despite Grafton-Stovall's popularity,
fM le theater consistently lost money each week.

"The average price to show a film runs $600-$ 1200,"
ias id senior Matt Parowsid. "Luckily we're subsidized through
Mi le UPB, which is good, because otherwise we wouldn't
here at all."
The current trend in movie watching became one of big
SI J adium-seat armchairs, two pounds of gourmet popcorn,
fici ottled mineral water and perhaps a dollop of chocolate
: nJfl lousse to celebrate the happy ending. This spawned an
(,r0 pswing of hybrid theaters that have become multi-leveled,
-tctoi irawling malls of their own, such as the new Regal Cinemas

complex located on University Boulevard, which offered 14
different theaters and an extensive snack bar.

Judging a money driven commercial theater against
the likes of student-driven, student- run Grafiron-Stovall is
perhaps unfair. However, if there is a question of how good
a theater is — its general integrity — one cannot ignore the
splendor of Grafton-Stovall Theatre. "On campus, where
else can one raise a ruckus on a regtJar basis? Grafton-Stovall
has an atmosphere unlike any other place in Harrisonburg,
movie theater or not," said Parowski.

Selection, superb sound, beautiful projection, cheap
tickets and the casual spontaneity of a college campus made
Grafton-Stovall Theatre a real coup amidst the multiplexing
of America. And there was even fresh-popped popcorn for
only 50 cents. Suddenly stadium seating didn't seem so hot. ■

From left: Senior Marty Anderson, director
of hospitality for UPB, awaits the onslaught of
movie-goers at the showing of "Star Wars:
Episode One, The Phantom Menace." Fifteen
minutes later, Anderson was greeted by
hundreds of Star Wars fanatics, excited by
the $2 ticket price. ■ Built in the 1 978,
Grafton-Stovall Theatre's dated decor carried
a mystique that newer theaters lacked. Unlike
the modern stadium-seat multiplex , Grafton-
Stovall was devoted to one screen, one
theater and 610 seats. ■ In addition to the
cheap tickets, popcorn is for sale for only
50 cents. Despite the theater's popularity
and success, it consistently lost money.
Fortunately for students, the movies shown
were subsidized through UPB. ■ Located
between the Phillips Center and Warren and
Taylor Halls, Grafton-Stovall Theatre was
originally intended to be a lecture hall, but
it was used as the campus movie venue.

'Old South High Street
was a road littered with dozens of unique homes — the Pi House, the
Barn House and the Spaghetti House. Yet one that stood out,
particiJarly at night, was the Crayola House.

One night in September, two neighbors were surprised as
they glanced at the house. Senior Amanda Anderson had decor-
ated each of the ten windows in her bedroom with different
colors of febric. From outside, Anderson's bedroom lights filtered
through the fabric reminding passers-by of a box of Crayola
crayons. The name stuck, and Anderson soon hung a banner
over the front door proclaiming it "The Crayola House."

Yet the colorful appearance was only one of the house's
many unique aspects. Built before 1950, the residence had six
bedrooms of all shapes and sizes and rwo full-service kitchens.
Occasionally, the occupants even discovered a new closet or
door they never knew was there.

The house was shared by seven seniors: Amanda Anderson,
Tamar Anitai, Todd Grogan, Nicole Gianturco, Abi Miller,
Laura Serico and Brandt Zeigler. During the spring semester,
junior Anna Mitchell took the place of Anitai, who graduated in
December. Perhaps their most interesting trait was that they were all
vegetarians, with the exception of Gianturco. In fact, the
majority of residents who lived nearby were also vegetarians. In
mid-September, the Crayola House held a poduck dinner tor the
neighborhood and the only meat dish served was tuna salad.

The roommates also had very colorful personalities.
Anderson, a biology major, who lived in the renovated greenhouse
nicknamed "The Rainbow Room," loved to immerse herself in color
and nature. Along with the colorful pieces of fabric draped across her
windows, her room was decorated with images of nature and vibrant
colors. Even her clothes, bandannas, and socks reflected her
passion for color. "She always wanted to live in a room of colors,"
said Grogan.

Zeigler lived in a room so small that there was only space
for a mattress on the floor and very litde else. His room also
had the only working television in the house. . . vwth a five-inch
screen. Miller lived in a room over the back porch, accessible by a
door in the upstairs kitchen so oddly positioned that you literally had
to climb through. Because her room had no heat, she would often
camp out in Gianturco's bedroom, nicknamed "The Italian Room,"
because it was decorated with imported Italian fiimiture.

"This house is very random," said Grogan referring to the
roonmiates' different personalities. "You could come at midnight
and no one would be here. " Yet like a box of crayons, though the
individuals were different, they fit together perfectly.

o-^^ winefestival

"Would you like the drier 1997 vintage or the 1998?"
asked Theresa Simmons as she quickly took orders from
the eager crowd. Behind the table, purple-shirted workers
bustled back and forth, retrieving bottles from huge vats
of ice and speedily popping the corks. For nine hours
straight on Saturday, October 2, the employees sponsored
the Fourth Annual Landwirt Vineyard Wine Festival.

Nestled in the rolling farmland of Harrisonburg, the
Landwirt Vineyard was one of nv^^Mucers of wine in the
Shenandoah Valley. The festivals, whicn were held twice
a year, were open to all ages. Bands such as The Franklin
Newton Quanet, West Water Street, T.J. Johnson, Virginia
Coalition and Ki:Theory provided the entertainment for the
fall event while Calhoun's Restaurant and Brewery, * "'gjr^u
Pizza and Brooklyn Delicatessen fed the hungry crowd.

and good music.

The bands each played long sets of music and enjoyed
the attention of a field full of people. The large and spirited
audience was quick to sing along and dance to the music.

"I think it's great because everyone gets to come out
and support the music they like. It's a good opportunity
for local musicians to show their stuff," said sophomore
Sam Wilson, a guitarist for the jazz group The Franklin
Newton Quartet.

Senior Franklin Newton, who led the group, was equally
thrilled with the festival. "There's no bad vibes, it's straight-
up fun, they (Landwirt Vineyard) get my vote!"

Being a wine connoisseur was not necessary to appreciate
what the vineyard had to offer.

"I don't know anything about wine, but I love it!" said
senior Jenny Walker. The vineyard, owned by Gary and
Theresa Simmons, offered eight diflFerent types of wine. The
majority of students preferred Montevideo, a blush wine,
that ran out halfway through the evening, and a dry white
wine called Riesling. The prices ranged from $10 to $16 per
botde and wineglasses were provided for an additional dollar.

"We've owned the vineyard since 1982 but the winery
has only been open since 1996," explained Theresa Simmons
as she popped open a bottle.

Even former students in the Virginia area returned to
attend their second or third festivals. 1999 graduate
William Jerome Miller felt that he just couldn't escape
college life at the festival. "It has two of the three necessities
for a good time: drugs (wine), and rock 'n' roll ... the sex,
haven't seen any of that yet!" said Miller.

Kris Johnson, also a 1999 graduate, called the festival
a bonding experience you never do in college. Partygoers
agreed that the festival was a welcome change from the
standard keg party.

The pink sun that fell into the green landscape of the
valley awed many students. Evening brought with it cooler
temperatures, but the fun continued. Students wrapped in
blankets settled down to enjoy the music, wine and com-
pany of a huge party under the stars. ■

Iter four years, eight broken
records and numerous awards,
Megan Riley is one of the top
lacrosse players in the NCAA

Lets Stan off with a little analogy quiz, okay? Michael

Jordan : basketball :: : lacrosse. Not exactly

an easy question, right? Wrong. Unless you've had your head
in the sand while attending JMU, the first name that should
come to mind is Megan Riley. "Megan who?" All right,
pay attention. There might be another quiz at the end.

Lacrosse, n. A game played by two teams using a small
ball and long-handled sticks with netted pockets. Sounds
simple enough, really. Wrong again. In a battle that relies
on skill, speed, strength and communication, lacrosse is
anything but a game. And Riley is anyone but your average
lacrosse player. Dominating almost every category and
setting eight school records, Riley has not only made a name
for herself, she's made a name for JMU lacrosse — a name
that is feared in the Colonial Athletic Association.

Enter Loyola. In the CAA Championship on April
18, 1999, Riley made history.

With just over six minutes remaining in the first half,
Riley blasted her 140th career goal setting a new university
record. Scoring five other goals in the game and acquiring
three assists helped earn her the CAA (continued on p. 144) »

\continned from p. 143) ■■ Most Valuable Player. The team
asily defeated Loyola 17-6, securing the CAA Championship.
fwo years after winning her first CAA championship, Riley
eflected, "The first one was probably the most memorable
pecause it was the first, but the second one was nice, too."

But before Riley even decided to play lacrosse in college,
[he had to make a difficult decision early on in her life. In
he sixth grade, in addition to showing a promising future
n lacrosse, Riley was a talented Softball player. Riley's father
vas adamant towards her continuing her Softball career,
helieving that she had a better chance to earn a scholarship
Is a Softball player, but Riley's passion was lacrosse. The
pme was fast paced and more appealing to her. As a younger
player, she loved to attack and score, experiencing a thrill
In firing a shot passed the goalie. It was this passion that con-
inced her to concentrate on lacrosse. Her father supponed
;he decision as Riley continued to excel at the high school
'vel. As a member of the 1995 U.S. Under- 19 World Cup
junner-up team, a two-time high school Ail-American, and
three-time All-Coimty and All-Metro team member, Riley
(vas destined to continue to play lacrosse at the collegiate level.
Coach Jennifer Ulehla credits Riley with "putting JMU
lacrosse on the map and building the lacrosse program. She's
|)ne of the best athletes I recruited to this university. " Riley's
decision to play here was certainly not iincalculated, however.
k.eceiving offers from Loyola, the University of Maryland,
nd Vanderbilt University, she chose JMU because she felt
le program was going to continue to build, and she wanted
good school that kept getting better. Riley was aware that
Ihe lacrosse team had a new coach, but she was confident
In Ulehla's experience and the direction in which the team
Jvas moving.

Her teammates needed no further evidence to assure
Inem that Riley was one of the greatest lacrosse players
Ihey've ever seen. Sophomore Michelle Zurfluh saw Riley

; a leader and role model, especially since they shared the
lame position at attack. "Megan taught me so much about
lacrosse it is unbelievable. She wouldn't necessarily take me
lo the side and show me a move, but she would encourage
Ine to try it and to follow her example. She was so much
1 to watch that you wanted to duplicate almost every shot
Ihat she took, and as an attacker, that was a challenge,"
laid Zurfluh. The shot that Zurfluh described was Riley's
l:laim to fame, which no other player in the nation had.
ICnown by her coach, teammates, and even opponents as
Ihe "Riley Riser," it was one of the most difficult shots to
defend because of its ability to start low in the air and

literally rise up to the corners of the goal. Riley poetical!
fired her "Riley Riser" against Loyola to break the team
record for goals.

But despite Riley's performance and the team's efforts,
the lacrosse team encountered its fair share of disappoint-
ments. Facing the Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA Cham-
pionships, the Lady Dukes took the field with confidence
after abusing the Blue Devils 1 5-6 during a scrimmage earlier
in the year. "The loss to Duke was an entire team let down,
Riley included. Everyone was responsible for losing," coach
Ulehla said.

Riley agreed, "We should have won — we were winning at
haUtime, and we just didn't come out to play the second half"

For the senior, that was her final game, but Ulehla said
Riley "learned a lot from that experience with Duke, and
is entering the U.S. National era of her life where she will
continue to grow."

With a player like Riley, it
seemed as if there was nothing left
for a coach to teach at the collegiate
level. But that wasn't the case,
according to coach Ulehla. Since
she arrived, "Riley has grown
immensely. She's a more complete
player. At midfield, she worked
on her ability to run the field.
She's in the best shape of her fife.
She moves the ball, creates an
attack, especially when double-
and triple-teamed." Riley worked
on strengthening her nondominant
hand which became almost as
strong as her right hand. She also
improved her ability to move and
communicate.

Her effort over four years
definitely paid off Individually,
Riley was ranked number nine
nationally and accumulated a

significant number of awards and achievements which in-
cluded the Brine/rWLCA All-Ajnerica first team and All-
South region first team. College Lacrosse USA Preseason
All-America first team. Most Valuable Player of the North/
South Senior All-Star Game, CAA Player of the Year, All-
CAA first team, CAA Tournament Most Valuable Player,
JMU Female Athlete of the Year and the JMU Lacrosse
Team's Most Valuable Player, {continued on p. 146) »

'Riley has

grown immensely.
She's a more

complete player ...

She's in the best shape

of her life. "

Jen Ulehla

Resperted throughout the CAA and NCAA,
Megan Riley was a threat to every oppo-
nent's defense and was never underesti-
mated. Opponents usually double- and

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

"Go!" yelled Brad,
as he jumped on Scott's
back, wrapping one arm
around Scott's chest
and pointing forward
violendy with the other.
Scott did not know how it had come to this — Brad riding
pigg}'back and shouting. The ominous clouds of Kilkenny's
Stout had descended on Scott's brain like a London fog.
Regardless of the events leading up to this moment and any
rationale behind listening to Brad, he did the only thing
of which he was capable. Scott ran.

Leaving the three women behind, the silly duo hot-
tooted across the cobblestone streets because, as Scott remem-
bered, they had to catch a bus. The final bus for Fiesole, a
small town north of the city in the foothills of the Apennines,
departed Santa Maria Novella precisely at 12:30 a.m. You
could set your watch to it. Scott and Brad both did, and
that is why they understood how dire their situation was.
The women laughed among one another and aped the sprint-
ing duo as they disappeared around the corner. Brad's
corduroy jacket, flapping in the running wind, was the last
thing the women saw. The trio walked briskly toward the
bus station without their former escorts. Knowing they had
enough time to catch the bus with the established pace, they
continued their imitation, the most sincere form of mockery.
Navigating the streets through glassy eyes, Scott's already
poor night vision had suffered a severe setback through the
previous four hours ol alcoholic intake. Nonetheless, Scott
continued his torrid pace, never slowing to examine the
current situation. Brad turned his head to look for the three
women. They were nowhere to be seen.

The running continued as Scott jimiped off curbs, wove
between trashcans and barely slowed for intersections.

As the race continued, the 185 pounds on Scon's back
began to take its toU, and, unbeknownst to Scott, he slowly
began to lean forward. Eventually the weight became too
great for the muscles in his lower back, and, collapsing under
the weight, Scott's toe on his right hiking boot clipped an
incongruously cut piece of stone.

Although Scott was straining under the considerable
weight, it was Italian craftsmanship that stamped the
inevitable conclusion on the whole unfonunate episode;
Italian art and architectiu-e was made world famous by the
masters Michelangelo and Donatello, by vast constructions
like St. Peter's in Rome, by cities like Florence and the best
of Italy has touched histor)' in a way matched by few, but
there are also reasons that everything in Pisa, from the bap-
tistry to the infamous tower, is leaning, and there are reasons
all of Venice is slowly sinking, and it's that sometimes "e)'eing
it" is not an infallible architectural (continued on j). 1 33)

(continued from p. 150) •• engineering method, because if
entire cities were erected in such a manner, applying that
rationale to the streets in Florence was simple: Giuseppe
the cobblestone layer did not make the long list of world-
renowned Florentine artists. Scott and Brad fell.

Brad catapulted over Scott's left shoulder, landing with
a thud on his left hand, knee and thigh. Scott thought it
better to break the fall with the side of his face and landed
Temple Flight 404 on the bumpy cobblestone runwav. Brad
rolled to a stop at the foot ot a street Dumpster, his back
propped against it, and watched Scott skid to a halt. The two
lay there, wallowing in pain, for quite some time. Although
they were never sure of how long it was, the expired time
was enough for the three women, who had been walking
the entire time, to catch up to, laugh at and pass the two
dnmks sining on the street in front of the lonely Dumpster.
Had the trashed men sat there until morning, they would
have taken away by city employees.

Realizing their folly, but not realizing that they had
been on the ground long enough that their bus had since
departed, the two suddenly found the energy to spring to
their feet and begin their quest anew, this time each man's
feet carrying their rightful owners. Husding across the traffic
circle and entering the stadon, the two men gazed in horror
at the empty bus lane.

Scott and Brad remained leaning against a railing for
over 10 minutes. To no avail, they tried to rationalize why
they had missed the bus, never for an instance considering
their tall; the best reason they could come up with was that
the bus left and they weren't on it. Scott put his right hand
to the side of his head only to draw it away smeared with
blood. "Let's get a taxi, " he mumbled. The jammed cogs of
proverbial anarchy were greased with alcohol and had spun
wildly out of control, causing the machine to ultimately crash.

Brad awoke the next morning with a swollen knee and
two bruises in his thigh, one distincdy resembling the shape
of Chapstick, the other a lighter. Scott awoke with a Band-
Aid over his cut, conveniently attached to his hair on one
side and his sideburn on the other, ingeniously applied with
the skill of a surgeon during his stupor. Both awoke with
heavy, hazy heads. Scott blamed Brad and demanded he
be given three Ibuprofen — even though Brad insisted the
recommended dosage was only one — because his head fell
from six feet up and hit the concrete. The arguing continued
imtil Brad gave in. When the three girls saw Brad and Scott
again, they laughed. ■

way to the CAA crown

title

Chris Beerman grew up as a self-described gym rat. His
father, a volleyball coach, witnessed his son grow to an All-
American at Ball State, marry a Ball State women's player,
Mary Beth, and enter the field of coaching. With volleyball
implanted in his very roots, Beerman was always a man waiting
for opportunity to knock at his door. When the university
knocked in January 1996, Beerman answered with the best
turn-around of any NCAA Division I team, leading the Lady
Dukes to a 25-9 record.

Beerman's team made a statement not only in the Colo-
nial Athletic Associadon, but they also introduced themselves
to the NCAA tournament in 1999. On their way to a 26-7
record and their first-ever NCAA berth, the women finished
9-1 at home, won the Colonial Athletic
Association tide and received numerous
accolades. Beerman was named CAA
Coach of the Year, sharing honors with
GMU's Pat Kendrick, and was voted
Coach of the Year among Division I
coaches in Virginia. Senior Lindsay
Collingwood was named CAA Player
of the Year, Virginia Player of the Year
and was the first Duke ever to earn All-
District honors. The Dukes were repre-
sented on the All-CAA team by CoUing-
wood, senior Taryn Kirk and junior
Karla Gessler, with senior Christina
Gianino receiving second team honors.

The Dukes fought stage fright,
intimidation and the Toreros of San
Diego before falling in the first round
of the NCAAs. "I was really disappointed
at how tentative we were," said Beerman.
"I guess that's the most disappointing thing, that we didn't
play up to our potential." Even with the early exit, nothing
could take away from the team's incredible season.

With the ultimate goal of moving their home games
to the Convocation Center, the team was noticed for their
success by students and also members of the community.
Beerman helped found a United States Amateur Volleyball to the NCAA National Championship Tournament.

league in Harrisonburg that included 40 kids and six teams
the first year, and wanted to create a local fan base. "We
care about the local community. People saw us beat Tennessee
and were impressed. The crowd carried us emotionally,"
said Beerman.

But after four years of success on the court under
Beerman's guiding hand, the women's volleyball program
prepared for change. Beerman's first recruiting class, an
assortment ot powerful raw talent and supporting players
who refined their technical games, was nearing graduation
and Beerman had accepted a head-coaching job from the
University of Pittsburgh. Confident in their abilities, the
team accepted the challenge and was determined to continue
their success.

"These girls have had a taste of
the NCAA and they are not satisfied
with anything less. I'm temporarily
filling in, keeping things rolling, to make
sure there are no glitches. Everything
is normal," said assistant coach Anne
Jackson during the spring. Jackson felt
new Athletics Director Jeff Bourne
would find a replacement that could
continue the growing sense of volleyball
tradition established by Beerman.

Beerman's departure had obvious
repercussions within the team dynamic.
Junior Karla Gessler, whom Beerman
predicted to be a CAA MVP candidate
during the 2001 season, said, "We're
keeping the team together no matter
who the new coach is. We are still lifting
and we get together and discuss goals
to maintain our focus."

Although another knock at Beerman's door caused him
to leave the university for a larger program, the women's
volleyball team heard a knock at their own door. The chal-
lenge of persevering under difficult conditions arrived and
the team responded with the same resiliency that got them

Red lights illuminated two microphones and a table with
four water bottles. No drum set, no fancy lighting or
decorations were needed for the show. The female folk-rock
duo took the stage with only two guitars and their voices to
perform for the sold out crowd at the Convocation Center,
Saturday, Feb. 12. That was all the Indigo Girls needed to
wow the audience with an energetic, sing- along show.

JMU was the band's first college performance of the
Indigo Girls' acoustic tour. After recording their recent
album, "Come On Now Social," the rest of the band
stayed in London while Emily Saliers and Amy Ray toured
the United States. "This is nice, " Saliers commented about
their return to the old acoustic style of their earlier days.

Saliers and Ray met in high school in Georgia and first
played together for a school talent show. After going their
separate ways for college, the two met up again in Atlanta
and played the bar scene for awhile before their debut album,
"Strange Fire." Ten years later the (continued on p. 161) ••

(continued from p. 159) duo had sold over 7 million total
albums, including one double-platinum album, three
platinum albums and four gold records, along with six
Grammy nominations.

All the lame had not gone to their heads as was evident
in their casual attire and intimacy with the Convo crowd.
"We've worked hard to get this image. We turn down Vogue
covers all the time," Ray jokingly exclaimed. Ray's cowboy
hat and jeans and Saiiers Hawaiian shirt showed that these
girls were all about their music.

The crowd's excitement was evident from the first chords
of "Reunion," which opened the show. The set consisted ot
both old and new songs, with such classics as "Closer to Fine, "
"Galileo," and "Least Complicated." With guitar changes after
each song, including mandolins and banjos, the duo toured
with 22 guitars in all. Several times the Indigo Girls stepped
back from their microphones and let the audience fill in the
words, which they did with precision.

The Indigo Girls created a personal and intimate rappon
with the audience by abandoning their planned set and
taking requests. Ray reflected on her experiences in Australia
after "Gone Again," when she realized how much the song
sounded like Elton John's "Crocodile Rock. " With the
help of the audience she did an impromptu performance
of the first verse.

Near the end of the show, Ray was distracted when
someone threw a CD onto the stage. The Overtones, a
coed a cappella group, released a CD with their version of
the Indigo Girls' "Ghost" and wanted the songwriters to
hear it. "We couldn't get close enough, so we asked a girl
in front of us to throw it for us," said sophomore Elizabeth
Carey. She was ecstatic when Ray picked it up and took it
with her as they left the stage.

After such an energetic performance an encore was in-
evitable. As soon as the Indigo Girls had made their way
back to the stage, the concert took a more serious turn.
Ray explained their participation in the fight for low power
FM radio. She said the FCC voted to create more stations
to provide tor more diversity on the radio. It wasn't long
before Congress began legislation to block this action and
the Indigo Girls became advocates for the cause. With
participation from the audience, they recorded a PSA aimed
at senators and congressmen to fight for "the much needed
voice of communities everywhere."

The Indigo Girls finished off" the show with "Chicken-
man," and "Kid Fears," leaving the audience still wanting
more. Although the place still shook with clapping and
cheering, the lights came on and the bleachers began to clear.
The Indigo Girls' visit to the university left everyone feeling
a little "closer to fine." ■

"When cutting the mushn, should I allow for the
length?" A student questioned his knowledgeable instnjaor
over the sounds of the busy little shop.

The whir and click of six sewing machines rumbled
through the floorboards of the second floor of the old house.
Swatches of fabric lay haphazardly aroimd the room, on the
hardwood floor, draped over tables or piled in the corners.
Headless and limbless dress forms stood guard near the
door as if expectandy awaiting their next garments to walk
through the entrance.

Lincoln House, located across from the Quad on South
Main Street, was home to the cloth creations that adorned
the limbs ol performers in the university's major productions.
Headed by Pam Johnson, a 20-year veteran of the costimie
department, the costume shop had a staff of students imder
the supervision of Kathleen Conery. Design professor Dr.
Jenner Brunk also assisted and taught classes at the shop.
Designing and sewing a multitude of projects, some students
were employees, while others worked at the shop earning
practicum hours for class credit. Three classes were offered
by the universit)' and held at the shop, including Technical
Costume Design.

The classes created costumes for productions staged in
Latimer-Shaeffer Theatre in Duke Hall. According to Conery,
the amount of time and manpower required for a single
production depended on the size of the cast, time period and
whether or not the shop had the appropriate garments in stock.

"We almost never build anything entirely from scratch,
except for 'Mikado.' The dance costumes, however, usually
are built from scratch," said Conery in a break from her
small but diligent costume design class. The "Mikado"
production from the 1997/1998 Masterpiece Season required
special Japanese kimonos that were made exclusively for
that play. The most elaborate production, however, was
the costumes needed tor the play "School for Wives." Set
in the 1700s, the costume staH {continued on p. 164) »

(continued from p. 162) « constructed corsets, hip paddings,
petticoats and dresses for the women, and coats, vests and
Icnickers for the men. Lincoln House actually owned its
own historical collection of costumes from the 1800s that
were yet to be completely catalogued.

"A lot of people who come here have never sewn before
.ind they leave knowing how. There's no stress here, no
yelling, it's a very mellow environment to work in," said
Conery referring to the students that were quietly sewing
and cutting in the background.

Brunk found that students were usually quite proud
to learn how to sew well. "One of my students said his mom
was going to put me on her Christmas list," said Brunk, who,
like Conery, believed sewing was a necessary skill for any
student regardless of their major.

Spring was the busiest time for the shop but the statt
only focused on one production at a time. The designers
first met with the production staff to find out the kind of
costumes needed. After designing the outfits, the actors and
actresses were measured, fitted and then given the completed
costume once the alterations were made.

Senior an major Erin West planned a career in costume
design. "When I was little I wanted to be a fashion designer.
Everyone is so supportive and laid-back here. It's really
cool how much you learn," said West, who spent most of
her time working in the shop. West's devotion to the craft
paid off. She was chosen to co-design for a production of
"The Foreigner" during spring semester after a teacher
noticed her work in the department.

Junior Geoffrey Ehrlich was a theatre and dance major
who also planned a career behind the scenes. A costume
designer, Ehrlich thought he had learned many things at the
university costume shop. "I love clothes and I love fabric.
It's really fun to sew. Right now I'm making a blue coat,"
said Ehrlich, measuring a stretch of material on a worktable.

Conery insisted that every student should take a sewing
class. "So many students can't do simple skills. It's a colla-
borative art. So many garments you could learn to sew
yourself and it's a life skill that stretches your creativity,"
said Conery, who had students from different majors. Actors
appeared to be particularly affected by learning a behind-
the-scenes art.

"Actors say they know they're a better performer after
they invest so much blood, sweat and tears in their cos-
tume," said Brunk. ■

Despite its modern appearance due to a new

be haunted, yet seniors Toby Senff, Marc Veli,
Purvee Patel and Sean Haran enjoy the Rat
House for its surprises. Patel joined the house
located on Layman Avenue in January 2000.

From

the outside, the two-story, beige-colored house
nesded on Layman Avenue appeared to be a run-of-
the-mill accommodation for a group of students
trying to make it through their last year of college.
However, the inside of this benign edifice revealed
another side, one that dated back to the dark roots
of the Civil War.

Known as the Rat House to seniors Sean Haran,
Toby Senff, Danny Shoop and Marc Veli, they,
along with several overnight guests, spent more
than a few sleepless nights tossing and turning.

After a brief run-in with the pesky rodents,
the name was coined in the beginning of the year.
"Even though we didn't have [the rats] for very
long, the name just stuck," said Haran.

The house's creaky doors, staircase with loose
stairs and unexplainable drafts would be enough
to get anyone's blood pumping, but the four guys
thought nothing of these characteristics deemed
typical of a haimted house ... until the arrival ot a
mysterious letter in late September.

Addressed simply to "Resident, " the barely
legible contents of the letter revealed the life story
of a 32-year-old man from Macon, Georgia. The
man explained that his passion for haunted houses
originated from stories that his own childhood house
was haunted, and that he'd made a hobby of
collecting information about such houses from
history books and personal accounts. He claimed
to have read about their house in a book entitled
"Haunted Streets of America."

"We planned to write him back, but never
got around to it," said Shoop. "Besides, we didn't
know that the house was haunted, nor had we
really seen anything."

Soon after they received the letter, stories
poured in from previous tenants. A former resident
who stayed in the only downstairs bedroom the
year before claimed to have seen the spiritual mani-
festadon of a little girl on more than one occasion.
Another said that he swore the walls within the
same room bled during the night.

"Rumor has it that this house served as slave
quarters for a nearby plantation during the mid-

1800s, " Shoop explained. "Supposedly, a young
girl starved to death in that room after her father
left: to fight in the Civil War."

The most interesting rumor was that the
house was part of the Underground Railroad. This
would account for the numerous filled-in crawl
spaces, where slaves slept during their hiding, located
throughout the house and for the name of their
street: Layman Avenue.

Apan from these interesting tales, the interior
of the house, complete with artificial wooden
panels, board games and a Yoda poster, had the
feel of a 1970s-type sitcom. The uneven floorboards
in the living room led to a kitchen that was more
than double the size of those found in most off-
campus apartments.

In addidon to the house, their landlord needed
to fill an apartment located just a few feet away from
the Rat House. This presented the perfect oppor-
tunity for two of their fi-iends to move in and take
part in the fijn. Besides, the apartment was equipped
with a dishwasher, which was something that the
house was lacking.

In order to keep things interesting, the men
made up a game called base football. As their
neighbors could probably attest to, playing out
in the street in front of their house made for a
very interesting game, especially with a rule that
hitting a car or a house counted as two outs.

Although their house may have been haunted,
they made light of their living situation by experi-
menting with fear. After hearing quite a few nunors
they decided to carry out their ovnx version of "The
Blair Witch Project, " tagging theirs as none other
than "The Rat House Project.'

"We all gathered in Marc's room, upstairs, and
camped out for a night, " said Shoop. They recorded
everything they heard, or thought they heard, in
any notebooks. "Nothing really happened, but we
had a good time scaring one another."

So with all the gossip about their house being
haunted, you'd think that it would be difficult to
attract new tenants. This was hardly the case. A
group of women signed the lease for next year and
were looking forward to having some adventures
of their own. ■

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

We caught some students napping in favorite places to
sleep on campus like inside Carrier Library, on the Qiad, in the

From bowling to
canoeing, students
earn credit while
getting in shape
and having fun

Between General EJ^ration, majors, minors and
electives, students v*«^ble to create a unique experience
during college. Vua^s saw a college education as an invest-
ment. Professors considered it a job. Students viewed college
as an experience. While each academic department had its
own requirements, some smdents branched out into electives
to take advantage of opportunities.

"It's nice that the university doesn't confine students
to classrooms, " said junior Gary Green.

Green was just one of hundreds of students that took
advantage of a one-credit kinesiology class that did not keep
students behind a desk. The Department of Kinesiology
offered several introductory classes focusing on a variety
of activities, including aikido, bowling, river canoeing, moun-
tain biking and scuba diving.

"I think it is good that the students have an opportunity
to take classes that might strike an interest in a new hobby,"
said Green of her river canoeing course.

The classes were part of the Basic Instructional Program
offered by the School of Kinesiology and Recreation. The
classes gave students a chance to learn more about themselves,
to test their limits and to gain self-confidence. They also
assisted students in developing "means for their lifetime
fitness and wellness," said Dr. Michael Goldberger, the
head of the School of Kinesiology and Recreation.

"Personally I took this class because I'm a senior, I only
needed 12 credits this semester and I wanted to learn how
to bowl," said Becky Lamb. "I'm not ready for the pro tour
yet, but I do actually hit a strike every now and then. Also,
this class is 100 percent more fun than any other class I've
taken in my career at JMU." In the Basic Bowling class
students competed in three person {continued on p. 174) »

league. Students improved their game by learning to bowl
with a curve, how to find the strike zone and how to hit
difi^erent spares.

Harrisonburg itself even became a classroom for Basic
Mountain Cycling students. "We bike a couple of miles ... ride
out to Massanutten twice a week," said senior Mike Shaw. The
highlight of the class was a five-hour ride to Reddish Knob.

The 1 8-person class, taught by Trent Davis was inex-
pensive; the only equipment necessary was
a mountain bike and a helmet. "If you aren't
in shape now, you will be by the end of the
class," said Davis. "This class is great because
you arent cooped up inside a classroom. It's
gorgeous outside this time of year."

"I would absolutely recommend this
class," said senior Aisha Mian, a student in the
Basic River Canoeing course. Everyone was
paired into to coed groups, consequendy, Basic
River Canoeing provided a great opportunity to
meet members of the opposite sex. Besides
being a great social experience, the class was
also a great learning ex-perience and, "You don't
have to be good to do well in the class."

Some of the classes required use of
expensive equipment and therefore required
students to pay an equipment-use fee. Participants in Basic
River Canoeing, taught by Massanutten Resort employee
Keith Arnold, were charged S95 in addition to tuition for
the course. Canoes were towed fi'om the resort to Newman
Lake and the Shenandoah River for classes. Bowling was a bit
less expensive, costing students just $50 for all lane fees and
equipment rental. Many of the classes also had other require-
ments; students in the Basic River Canoeing class were required

dents about the etiquette, rules,

The most expensive class for equipment was Scuba
Diving. After passing a swimming test, the class first learned
the fundamentals of diving. Broken into two separate classes
each week, the Tuesday class was used to watch videos, while
the Thursday class was used to perform the techniques learned
from the videos. The class swam in the Godwin Hall pool.
Scuba Diving also offered dives outside of class. For a nominal
fee of S25, students could dive at a local quarry or in Hot
Springs, W.Va.

"I was hoping for girls in bikinis, but
everyone had to wear full body suits. But
the class turned out to be great because an
underwater adventure is fantastic," said
senior Jeffrey Pond.

Yet introductory courses did not have to
break bank accounts in every instance. Basic
Aikido class took place in UREC. In Dr.
C.B. Claiborne's class, participants
worked to maintain a sense of harmony with
oneself and with the world. Aikido, said
Claiborne, is literally interpreted as "harmony
with your spirit." The class also focused on
self-defense movements. A means for self-
cultivation and improvement, aikido was
not used to physically defeat others, but to
conquer the negative characteristics that
inhibit the functioning of the mind and body.

Students agreed that these kinesiology classes offered a
great chance to do something different. Senior Jennifer Safford
commented that it was encouraging that anyone "could take
the class, no matter the size or shape you are in."

"Canoeing gives me a chance to get out of the classroom
and really experience what I am learning. It is, however, my
least favorite class when it rains. We canoe rain or shine!"

I here was an organization on campus that somehow
found time to not only make it to their own meetings, but to
also watch over most every other campus event. R^ardless of
where you were or what you were doing, you were bound to see
them. Thev' were there: a quiet but prominent presence calmK'
positioned along the periphen,', easily identified by their na\y
blue shirts with yellow insignia, a two-way radio dangled over
a shoulder like a techno toga and most noticeable, the black
18-inch police-issue Stream Light hanging from their side.
They were the Campus Cadets.

With over 40 active members, the Campus Cadet pro-
gram had a large presence over students and the campus. Head-
quartered in Shenandoah Hall, the cadets shared space and
philosophy with the JMU police department. Lt. Steve
VC'llfong, the cadet program coordinator, oversaw the entire
operation through intimate communication with senior
Daniel Acker, lead supervisor, and the four operation super-
visors, seniors Jerimiah Morris, Christopher Bean, David
Hofl&nan and Malinda La\Tnan. Graduated in December,
Layman was replaced by KeNin Ho\vd\-shell, also a senior.

In addition to securing special events on campus, the
cadets did safety patrok aroimd campus, 7 p.m. to 1 a.m..

Sunday throu^ Wednesday, until 2 a.m. on Thursday, and
8 p.m. to 3 a.m., Friday and Saturday. The night patrol
was broken up into "K" areas, with two to three cadets assigned
to each unit. Kl encompassed the Quad, all of the Bluestone
areas and the west side of South Main St.; K2 covered the back-
side of Gibbons Hall, Warren Hall and the Hillside and Village
areas; K3 consisted of Bridgeforth Stadium, Godwin Hall
and Godwin Field, and extended as far as Sonner Hall,
including Greek Row; all areas east of 1-81, including the new
CISAT residence halls and L REC made up K4. The sateUite
unit KIO, toured around campus in a van.

"Our general intent is to uphold campus safety," Acker
said. "^Tiile on the weekends, especially, we watch for public
drunkenness, we also secure academic buildings and uf)on
request, escon students to their residence halls."

Being a cadet was like any other job on campus in that
they were paid, yet as operational supervisor Jerr)' Morris
noted, "I sometimes forget this is a job. At this point I
acknowledge it more as public duty, a civil service." But
the responsibiht)' didn't go without its laughs. "While I've
encountered rather precarious situations, mainly related to
alcohol consumption, I've come across the less harmfiil,
lighter side. One Friday night, I found an individual on
Greek Row crawling around underneath a bush, calling
out names. He said he was looking for his friends."

One thing was for certain, with their dedication to
involvement in student happenings and their consequent
ubiquitoiu presence around campus. Campus Cadets weren't
just the watchfiil eyes and ears of JMU, they were a pair
of helping hands. ■

In an effort to stop hate crimes,
members of the JMU community
gather on the steps of Wilson Hall

As the school day wound down and darkness settled
over campus, a group of students solemnly walked toward
the steps of Wilson Hall to hold vigil for a special cause.
Friends and familiar faces greeted one another with hugs
and words of encouragement, aware of the emotional
nature of the ensuing activity. After handing out candles,
program organizers lit the wicks and passed the flame

together for a positive cause like this. It makes me very hopeful
because students should care about people and each other,"
said Dr. Cynthia Gilliatt of the English department.

One by one, the names of 1 50 hate crime victims were
read aloud. Attendees stared into the flames of their candles,
some with tears in their eyes. Their solemn faces reflected
how close to home the issue hit. "I'm sure we all know

througfi^r a crowd of approximately 70 people. Qui
dgK^jfoed as participants took their places on the
fng of the cupola bell abruptly broke the m
silence. The first speaker stood.

"We're here to talk about hate crimes," began Jennie
Smith, co-coordinator of Harmony, the campus support group
for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons. "Hate
crimes affect the whole community on the basis of race,
religion, disabilities or sexual orientation. Hate crimes have
probably affected someone you know or love," she said.

On Oct. 7, 1998, University of Wyoming student
Matthew Shephard was tied to a fence post, brutally beaten
and left in the middle of nowhere. He died from the injuries
he suffered. On the first anniversary of his passing, activists
and those of the general public outraged by his senseless
death organized vigils to "Stop the Hate" throughout the
country. Harmony, in partnership with the international
organization Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and
Gays (PFLAG) coordinated the intimate campus gathering
to remember Shephard and to strive for prevention of other
hate crimes. "I think it's important to see students coming

someone with the same name as someone on this list," said
Smith looking up from her list. "How would you feel if
you lost one of those people?"

Vigil participants read poems, prayed and offered
words of encouragement. Several members of the audience
active in promoting hate crime legislation pleaded with
the crowd to practice love and learn to be fearless. Impas-
sioned by their cause, organizers urged attendees to ask
their congressmen to pass the Hate Crimes Prevention
Act. "I view this as the beginning to creating a week-long
event in the future. Hate crimes happen to everyone so
there's no reason for not being involved," said Andrea
Sarate, lead organizer from Safe Zone.

"Please don't leave here and forget what we came for.
We hold this vigil in memory, but also in commitment,"
said Smith as each candle was extinguished. Smith left
the crowd with the words of Barbara Jordan, a disabled
African-American woman who became a Texas politician
following Reconstruction: "A spirit of harmony can only
survive if each of us remembers, when bitterness and self-
interest seem to prevail, that we share a common destiny." ■

''celebration"

'*Do you think we will die tonight?"

Keven Quillon questioned an unsuspecting audience member.

A woman in a miniskirt, boa and thigh-high boots
surveyed the audience. Her quest: to find $2 to buy new
pasties. In the first row, two actresses loudly argued about
aliens and nuclear weapons. Would they visit us on New
Years Eve? Would the Y2K bug set off nuclear weapons in
other countries? Audience members exchanged worried
glances as the performance began.

Throughout Theatre II, dancers and aaors intermingled
with the audience, discussing the possible perils ot the advent
of the new millennium. Set on New Year's Eve 1999,
"Celebration" was wrinen by Tom Jones in the 1960s. The
university's experimental theater staged the musical with an
all-student ensemble. The grueling process of assembling a
cast began with a night of auditions. »

{continued from p. J 86) » In the dim and drafty main room
of Theatre II, approximately 20 people gathered in mid-
September to audition for the production of "Celebration."
Student director William Hinds, a junior musical theater
major, traded jokes with the actors as they prepared to strut
their stuff. Actors were required to prepare 16 bars of a song
of their choice, an excerpt from "Celebration's" score or a
30-second monologue. Musical director Samantha Birchett
and choreographer Michelle Ferrara, both seniors, joined
Hinds at a table while each actor performed.

After five actresses sang, they moved on to the next stage
ot the audition process. In another room, Ferrara taught
the first group ot actresses a few dance moves to perform
tor Hinds and Birchett.

"It is not about carving into the space; feel
the weight of the movement, " instructed Ferrara
as she examined the dancers' movements. Despite
their intense concentration on learning the moves,
the dancers were loose, laughing at Ferrara's
unexpected advice. "I'm not looking for you
to get the steps. I want to see you funkin' out!"
said Ferrara.

Meanwhile, two of the four men audition-
ing were standing before Birchett and Hinds,
music sheets in their shaky hands. They per-
tormed an original "Celebration" song, "Where
Did it Go? " Birchett interrupted one ot the men
mid-song. "Keep in mind what you are singing.
It should have a character quality to it."

Moments later, the floor was given to the
first group ot women. Following Ferrara's lead
at first and then performing without her, the
group moved through the dance sequence they had just
learned while Hinds and Birchett watched, taking notes. The
women were then asked to dance freestyle to the tune of Sal t-
n-Peppa's "Shoop." "Just bust out," Hinds advised.

"We need to see you be relaxed and go nuts," added
Ferrara.

During a break in the dancing, Hinds announced that
the show would be cast that night; there would be no call-
backs. He thanked 1 0 aaors for their time and dismissed them.

By the end of the night, the cast was set. There were
tour leads, three male and one female, and 1 2 female revelers
who formed a dancing chorus.

[continued from p. 187) » a stripper with a heart of gold. As
a member of the Madisonians, Fox was both an accomplished
singer and dancer.

"What really hit me about Angel was who she was (a
stripper) and what I had to wear," said Fox. She wore a micro-
miniskirt, a thong, pasties, a feather boa and thigh-high boots
for most of the play. Fox donned only pasties and a barely-
there skirt for an entire musical number. Despite the
provocative attire. Fox's family
supported her portrayal of Angel.

Hinds steered the cast through
a series of late-night practices and
rehearsals crammed into a time
period of less than four weeks. The
show ran from Oct. 26 to Oct. 30
with nightly performances and one
Saturday matinee.

Performing under a student
director was a new experience for
both Fox and Quillon, who played
the role of Orphan. Quillon, a
sophomore musical theater major,

felt that it was sometimes harder to take direction from peers,
but it didn't influence his decision to try out for "Celebration. "

Fox thought Hinds was very professional to work with.
She quickly adjusted to his direction. "You are thrown into
an atmosphere where you are working with your friends and
you want to goof off, but you can't," she said. "Normally
kidding around would be natural, but 1 always have to re-
member that playtime starts after the rehearsals are done."

Hinds was determined to make the performance as
perfect as possible because of his attraction to the script and
score. Hinds came across "Celebration " while researching
on-line for a musical theatre performance class.

"I was really drawn to the music and the universal plot,"
said Hinds. "Since the show is an attempt at a ritual musical,
the story has a very broad, allegorical plot." Although the
play bombed on Broadway, Hinds thought it would be
perfea for an intimate space like Theatre II. "It makes such a
difference to have the actors so close to you, and I thought
this show would really be effective," said Hinds.

Angel, played by junior Wendy Fox, and Orphan, played
by sophomore Keven Quillon, embrace as they begin their
romance. Orphan was "a boy lost in the storm" and Angel
was "a stripper with a heart of gold." ■ Photo by Carlton Wolfe

When performance week finally drew near, spirits soared
in Theatre II. The cast began their dress rehearsal with a
series of vocal exercises while lighting was adjusted on the
stage and the pianist warmed up.

"We have to celebrate!" sang the cast, as they set the
mood of the play. The narrator, the wily Potemkin, told
the story of Angel, Orphan and Mr. Rich to the imagined
occupants of a bomb shelter.

Dancers, clad in black clothes
and go-go boots, twirled and leaped
on the stage as they rehearsed one
of the first scenes of the play.
Quillon, dressed in a sweater vest
and collared shin, entered clutching
a knapsack, whistling nervously to
himself As he sang the first
musical number, the dancers
surrounded him as they attempted
to seduce the lost Orphan.

A few scenes later. Fox entered
in full dress. Twirling her feather
boa, Fox was the center of attention
for an entire number as she stripped ofl^her shin and sang of
Angel's desire for fame and fortune. Leaping into the arms
of Orphan, Angel began to fall in love with the unlikely
hero of the play.

Suzanne Wogisch, a senior, remarked that she'd never
done something so contemporary or risque. As one of the
revelers, Wogisch was masked for the entire play. "You're
putting more of yourself out there, because part of you is hidden
and it forces you to bring out deeper character," she said.
After a smooth dress rehearsal, the group kicked off a
week of sold out shows.

When the last performance of "Celebration" ended on
Parents Weekend, the cast was finally able to tnJy celebrate.
Decked out in their Halloween costumes, the directors, cast
and crew toasted the show at a late-night party. Relief was
the dominant emotion. Two cast members summed up the
experience of "Celebration" with mixed feelings: "It was
outdated, the audience might not have liked it, but we pulled
together, stepped up (to the challenge) and we celebrated." ■

Glen's Fair ?V(ufo\\ers students a variety of tricks and treats for fHalloweer

Tm. on the Wednesday before Halloween, the
dgor^D a small corner shop in downtown Harrisonburg
Tained ajar. Bins of rubber snakes, plastic devil's spears,
and pirate hats lined the sidewalk and provided the perfect
incentive for the passers-by to come inside and take a
closer look.

"You know what would be cool? If I found colored
eyelashes," said sophomore Ambre Bosko as she entered
the shop. Sophomore Eliza Steck followed her friend. The
cluttered aisles engulfed the girls as they browsed for bits and
pieces to complete their costumes. Bosko was on a mission
to find pieces to complement her '70s porn star look.

"Like in 'Boogie Nights,'" Bosko explained.

Steck had the added stress of finding accessories for more
than one costume because she was attending two separate
events. "I really want to be Captain Hook, but I'm being
pressured by Ambre to be a roller derby girl," said Steck.

Bosko pointed out a sparkling royal blue tube top for
Steck to investigate. "This is it. This is your top! Don't you
think it will go great with your black shorts?"

Steck agreed and swung the little piece of fabric over
her shoulder. However, her attention quickly diverted to
another display. "Does Captain Hook have a mustache and
a beard?" Steck selected the mustache and pulled it off
the rack.

"Monster Mash" played in the background as the two
pushed by a trio of college- aged guys wearing grotesque
masks. A rack of brightly colored boas immediately caught
Bosko's eye. "This place has everything. I definitely want
this one," she said and glanced at the price tag. "$16.95!"
she exclaimed.

With an assortment of hats to choose from, juniors Patty Yussefieli, Mina
Mahini and Laura Farley keep an eye out for the perfect addition to their
Halloween attire. ■ Originally opened as a soda fountain, Glen's Fair
Price developed into a variety store and was known for its wide range
of mer-chandise including costumes, pets and camera equipment. ■
With her costume idea in mind, junior J.ntii Conger looks through a rack
of clothes and costumes. While many items were available for sale. Glen's
also rented out costume ensembles for $15-20. ■ Photos (left to right)

"That's kind of expensive, I'll try to find mine from a
couple of years ^o," added Steck. Bosko and Steck planned
to spend less than $20 on their costumes. Bosko reluctandy
walked away from the rack empty handed.

After several laps through the crowded aisles, Steck
decided to go with her original idea: Captain Hook. She
tossed the tube top onto a display of colored hair spray,
located near the front.

"I just can't see you going as a man for Halloween,"
Bosko pleaded.

Steck smirked and headed to the register to make her
purchase. "Only $6.24. Not bad for just a plastic sword and
a mustache," she said as she held up the brown paper bag.

Once again, Glen's Fair Price Store, located at 187
N. Main St., established itself as a depot for students to find
that perfect accessory or even an entire Halloween ensemble.
With over 1 ,000 costumes in stock. Glen's was targeted as
early as September.

"Year after year, I have customers come in to request a
certain costume, but are disappointed to find that it's not
available," co-owner Gary Stiteler said. "After years of playing
this game, they get smart and reserve early."

Glen's originally opened as a soda fountain in 1 94 1 , but
evolved into a variety store that sold everything from crafts
to pets to camera equipment. The shop didn't become known
for its costume rentals until the mid-80s. Sadly, the original
proprietor and the store's namesake, Glen Stiteler, passed
away in January 2000.

"We got the idea to start renting them, because students
didn't want to spend money on costumes they would only
wear once." The average rental price ranged from $15-$20
for one day and was half price for each additional day.

Stiteler regularly attended nationwide costume conven-
tions and exhibitions throughout the year in order to obtain
new ideas. According to Stiteler, movies such as "Scream"
and "Austin Powers" inspired costume ideas based on their
popular charaaers. Despite predictions, "Star Wars" costumes
were not the year's top sellers.

Even though many students viewed Glen's as a once-
a-year shopping locale, Stiteler and his employees worked
year-round to provide patrons with great selections.

When asked what could possibly follow-up the bustle
of Halloween, Stiteler smiled. "We received the first ship-
ment of Santa Glaus suits today." ■

December not only marked the end ot the fall semester,
lUt also the start of the holiday season. As students prepared
cram for Hnals, they also celebrated the season with friends
Ind through campus organizations.

The Peer Mentor Program of the Counseling and
tudent Development Center, the Black Student Alliance
d the Center for Multicultural/International Student
ervices sponsored a celebration of Kwanzaa. The traditional
stival, in its 10'*' year of celebration on campus, was a way
r African-Americans to honor their culture and heritage,
t's a time in which people of the community come together
give thanks," said junior Chris Jones, vice president of
SA and the master of ceremonies. "Celebrating Kwanzaa
emonstrates pride in our African heritage."

The celebration featured guest speaker Amiri Baraka, a
'ell-known African-American litetary figure. Events included
"Karuma," the traditional feast of Kwanzaa, and the lighting
f the "Mshumaa Saba," a candelabra, representing the
:ven principles of the holiday.

Later in the month, students, faculty and community
embers gathered on the Quad and sang Christmas carols
luring the annual tree lighting ceremony. The festivities b^^n
ith the Holiday Fest and Christmas Vespers in Wilson Hall
ditorium where the JMU Chorale, Symphony Orchestra
id Brass Ensemble performed a variety of Christmas favorites.

'Tis the season for holidays,

which students

The celeha^^then moved to the steps of Wilson Hall where
the.flCn|^iporary Gospel Singers and the Brass Ensemble
nteoBmed hundreds of audience members as complimentary
rchocolate was served. Dr. Mark Warner, the vice president
of academic affairs, had the honor of lighting the tree.

The ceremony was a tradition for many students in-
cluding roommates Andrea Illmensee, Jennae Walton, Becca
Liptrap and Sarah Kipperman, all seniors. They had attended
the ceremony together each year since they were freshmen.
"It's a special holiday," said Illmensee. "And since we can't
be with our home families, we're here with our school family."

Another holiday celebrated was Hanukkah, the Jewish
Festival of Lights. "There aren't many Jews here at JMU,"
said sophomore Tammy Berkovich, a member of the Hillel
Counselorship. "It's imponant for us to celebrate together."
Hillel members gathered, lit the Menorah, sang traditional
Hanukkah songs, played dreidel, exchanged gifts and pre-
pared some traditional Hanukkah foods. "We made potato
latkes," said Berkovich. "It's a dish prepared by frying
potatoes in oil and has to do with the ancient Jewish story
of the lamp oil that lasted for eight days."

Whether lighting the Mshumaa Saba, a Christmas tree
or a Menorah, students learned that celebrating the holidays
with their peers was just as important as celebrating at home
with their families. ■

with Allen Ginsberg. A small number of students had the
opportunity to not only speak with the author of a published
poem but to learn from her in a classroom setting.

Dr. Laurie Kutchins won a number of awards for her
poetry, including the 1 997 Isabella Gardner Poetry Award for
the "The Night Path." The award was given twice a year to,
"a poet in mid-career whose manuscript is of exceptional
merit." Isabella Gardner, poet, actress, editor, was responsible
for the success of many other young poets by helping them
find publication during her lifetime.

Kutchins readily admitted that she was not a scholar.
In fact, class discussions on poems did not involve heavy
analysis or in-depth readings. She focused on feelings,
nature and how a poem or specific line spoke to the reader
on an individual level.

Born and raised in Casper, Wyo., Kutchins had been
writing poetry since grade school but it wasn't until junior
high and high school that she began to use poetry as a means
to express herself "I felt a need to say things through poems,"
she said. Kutchins cited three writers in particular that were
her creative influences while growing up. She loved everything
by Dostoyevsky, including her favorite, "Crime and Punish-
ment," and the works of Herman Hesse also rated highly
among her top picks of literature. Robert Frost, a prominent
American poet of the modern era, was a major influence
on her early work as a poet also.

Kutchins loved Frost's writing on the natural world,
especially "his images of nature and the way he said something
without really saying it," Kutchins said.

Kutchins attended Carlton College, a small school in
Minnesota. "I always liked to write poetry but I didn't plan on
it . . . college was an exploratory time for me," said Kutchins.

In fact, her first recognition as a poet came when she was 20
years old. A professor encouraged her to submit some work to a
literary magazine enrided "Handbook" and she later leamed that
her work was immediately accepted by editors for publication.

After receiving her imdergraduate degree, Kutchins held
a number of jobs. She worked for a newspaper and for the
state arts council in Minnesota. Kutchins enrolled in graduate
school at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst after a
nearly six-year hiatus from school. She earned a master's of
fine arts in poetry and fiirther established her career in poetry.

Kutchins' poetry was highly emotional and honest. Her
second work, "The Night Path," was not only award-winning,
but praised by two other famous female poets.

Maxine Kimiin, a poet who became well known during
the '60s along with the infamous Sylvia Plath and Anne
Sexton, wrote, "A new vista [exists] in the poems Laurie
Kutchins writes about pregnancy and birth. They are concrete
and lyrical, factual and wildly speculative."

Kutchins herself was very open about her inspirations for
"The Night Path." In addition to its themes of nature and
motherhood, the collection was also based on the human
experience of change. Kutchins described it as, "a oneness or
a connection with something beyond the self."

"I explore what is intelligence ... it is more than an aa of
the mind, it is an intelligence of senses, spirit, body," said
Kutchins candidly. With poem tides like, "Birthdream," "My
Father's Tumor," "Portrait of an Unfinished Self-Portrait,"
and "Think," it was easy to see that Kutchins was inviting
the reader into her inner world. One might think that a
published, award-winning poet would be most proud of her
career and life work but Kutchins had a unique perspective
on pride.

She clearly struggled with stating directly that of which
she was proud. "I have a hard time claiming things that I'm

proud of . . . I'm proud ot believing in integrity in a world
that doesn't, integrity as a writer and as a teacher and in
maintaining a compassion for others, empathy and a sense
of wholeness, " said Kutchins. She believed that often people
in positions of power have a corresponding loss of integrity.

Kutchins first came to JMU in 1993, teaching survey
and poetry workshop classes. She left to teach at the Uni-
versity of Mexico in Albuquerque during a two-year leave.

"The students at JMU are wonderful," said Kutchins.
"Students here are willing to take risks in the classroom even
if it means failing or perhaps not succeeding completely." The
classroom, according to Kutchins, was a place of contained

creative energy and she noted that in the literature classes, too,
the students "have really good minds."

No matter what type of class she instructed, Kutchins
enjoyed her job. "I'm not always the teacher" she said, "1
learn from them too."

Kutchins empathized that aspiring poets must be carefiJ
observers and listeners. "No thing is too small to carry the
seeds of a poem ... the best poems come out of small
particulars," said Kutchins. She encouraged free writing and
maintained a relaxed atmosphere where everyone was wel-
come to express themselves and, in doing so, Kutchins
provided inspiration for future poets. ■

For a university whose architecture, academics and land-
scaping varied considerably, one had only to look around on
a typical weekday to see an area of campus that was lacking
diversity: the student population. Of the more than 13,700
students enrolled, only 1 5 percent came from a multicultural
background. This figure saw steady decline in the past five
years prompting administrators and students alike to re-
evaluate the multicultural draws of the university.

Discrepancies in minority representation were a cul-
mination of factors all having a great impact but not all
controllable, according to Zebulan Davenport, director of
the Center for Multicultural Student Services. Numbers of
ethnically diverse people were deciding to attend colleges
specific to their race while also choosing to go to institutions
offering more financial aid.

Despite these trends, minority students also found a
unique attraaion to the university when making their college
decision. "JMU offered something different for me. All of
my friends chose to stay at home and go to Old Dominion
or VCU because they knew people there. They had a strong
support system in place," said junior Coleen SantaAna,
vice president of the Asian Student Union.

"I think a lot of times when you are in the minority
population in a predominantly white institution there are
times when students feel unwelcome and not included. We
try our best to help provide them student organizations and
support systems. However, as numbers grow, we would like
to hope it's going to help because it's a constant struggle

-C'P^,

ne was supposed to be the safest place to be, yet
some students, both on- and ofip-campus, were forced to
reassess their safety precautions. Incidents of "peeping"
became an epidemic throughout the university community.
Suspects repeatedly entered residence hall bathrooms to
spy on women in the shower, while some women on Greek
Row and in apartments and houses off campus awoke to
find intruders in their bedrooms. Even the library, usuall)
a refuge for students seeking quiet and privacy, was the
location of an act of indecent exposure.

Students reacted in different ways. Women in Chap-
pelear Hall took an aggressive approach. They hoped to drive
off potential intruders with a banner reading, "Peep This!"

"Students don't care enough about their safety until
something happens to them," said senior Dan Peterson, a

nin

for those students," said Zephia Bryant, assistant director
of the Center for Mukicultural Student Services.

As a self-described "typical, middle class white student,"
Jennifer McNamara, a junior, offered a different view to
the diversity discussion. "I can see the school as diverse from
my perspective," said McNamara. She took it upon herself
to learn from others. "I chose to seek other cultures."

Official enrollment facts and figures echoed the senti-
ments of many students who were happy with the academic
programs offered, but telt as though the university did
not reflect the real world.

"JMU is diverse to a certain extent but it's not as diverse
as it could be," said Bryant. "Of course we have several
different populations represented on our campus in small
numbers but not many of our students are going to be
exposed to those particular populations."

While no specific cause could pinpoint the problem,
administrators cited a lack of effort in minority recruitment
as one probable decrease in minority enrollment. "1 don't think
we've done enough to recruit some of those minority popu-
lations. And for whatever reason there are studies being
done to determine why we are not getting those numbers
and those other populations on our campus," said Bryant.

The Center for Multicultural Student Services expressed
the goal of making the university more representative of the
overall minority population of the state. CMSS looked at the
percentage of students at JMU in the different ethnic groups
and compared it to the specific Virginia breakdown of people

according to ethnic group. Their
findings showed that at JMU the
African-American population was 5
percent while the state of Virginia
was 19.8 percent.

According to Davenport, the
benefits of a multicultural environment
not only helped minorities but allowed
everyone to learn how to interact and
work with people who were different.
"Diversity not only helps educate the
current population going through
this microcosm of a real world, but
it also helps people in terms of being
employable. When they get out in
the work force, employers want to
know that college students have had
experience working with different
types of people," he said.

"Students need to understand that diversity in a
college setting isn't just helping out minorities, it helps
everybody because you learn more and you learn how to
interact and work with people who are different than
you," said Davenport.

"It takes effort by people on all sides to come together,
if we want to promote the notion of 'All Together One,'
we need to embrace others and reach out so that we are
together," said Davenport. ■

resident adviser in Shorts Hall. Chappelear residents took a
number of steps to ensure they were safe, including hanging
cans on their doors so they could hear when it opened.

"It's tough when letting people in the building out of
courtesy and to think about or doubt anyone's intentions,"
said Jennifer Surface, a sophomore who lived in Chappelear.

Senior Monica Bonnett lived off campus and didn't
have any personal experiences with peepers but made sure
to keep her door locked at all times. "At best, the publicity
about the peepers has made us more aware of the dangers
lurking in the shadows and the need to be safe, even in a
small, safe town like Harrisonburg."

Senior Jenn Sacra lived on Mason Street, where intru-
ders had allegedly frequented houses the past few years. "I
felt violated when I thought a stalker was outside at six o'clock

in the morning," said Sacra, whose housemate heard someone
attempting to open the door around the same time.

While the peeping incidents more directly affected
women, men also had strong opinions about the issue. "The
men must be deranged ... a twisted mind, maybe driven by
lust to an act of desperation, " said sophomore Mark Savage.

Rob Downs, who lived in Chappelear Hall, witnessed
firsthand the effect the peepers have had on his residence
hall. "These few people are making the rest of campus feel
insecure about living our everyday lives and I don't think
it's fair," said Downs, an ISAT major.

While the peeping incidents were investigated, students
made sure to be careful. Campus officials considered the
installation of additional locks and entrance devices but
awareness appeared to be the most effective precaution. ■

The 1 999-2000 academic year saw the creation of a new
universiry marketing effon and for the first time in 10 years,
a makeover of the university's mission statement, however,
the administration allowed litde-to-no smdent input in either.

In September, President Linwood Rose's inaugural
address introduced, "All Together One." He began, "I hope,
that this occasion will provide an opportunity to open our
eyes, our minds and our spirits to our fiiture possibilities. "

At the reception, the university distributed plastic cups
and T-shirts with the trademarked phrase, and publicized a
web site set up to "spread the spirit of 'All Together One."
Yet aside from those limited eflForts, the imiversity did little
to explain what the phrase meant or to gather student input.

By February, few students even knew about the phrase,
or what it meant. "I've seen it in The Breeze, but I don't
know what it refers to, " said junior Meghan Smith about
"All Together One. " Junior Dana Stokes was more like
most students who had never heard the phrase.

The revision of the university mission statement came
about in a similar fashion. Early in November, 1 8 faculty,
administrators and one student met to discuss the new
mission statement. The draft read: "We are committed to
preparing students to be enlightened and educated citizens

who will lead productive and meaningfiil lives in an inter-
dependent world. As a public university, James Madison
University is innovative, responsive and accountable."

From the beginning, the draft sparked heated argimients.
Much of the dispute was over the institutional character-
istics: a learning culture of academic excellence; a residential,
comprehensive and student-centered environment; a con-
nected and diverse campus community; recruiting and re-
taining outstanding, involved smdents who are preparing for
the future; recruiting and retaining faculty, staff and admin-
istrators who are leaders and mentors.

"It's the process of achieving academic excellence that's
not in here, " said David Brakke, dean of the College of
Science and Mathematics. "This is a really high quality
faculty and I don't think faculty's role comes out enough."

In its first meeting of 2000, the SGA further criticized
the statement for its vagueness, failure to distinguish the
university fi-om other colleges and their lack of input on the
changes. Yet the copy of the statement presented to the SGA
differed from the original draft. The statement read: "We
are committed to preparing students to be enlightened and
educated citizens who will lead productive and meaningfiil
lives." No explanation was given as to why the administration

The new General Education program was
controversial and confusing to some
students. Many felt they had less control
over the core courses they had to take
and would have preferred the Liberal
Studies program. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid

Genera] Education, the controversial replacement
for the Liberal Smdies program, was, for many people,
a constant source of anger and frustration. The offi-
cial definition promised the following: "These courses
together challenge students to make connections
among disciplines while satisfying all of the learning
objectives of each cluster."

Both students and faculty had mixed feelings on
the new program. First introduced to the university in fall
1997, the Gen Ed program was voted on by 572 faculty
and staff members, 512 of who voted against it. Despite the
uneven results, the university chose to install the program.
Dr. Linda Cabe Halpern, dean of Gen Ed, said, "Any time
a university under-goes a major program change, there are
growing pains. Overall, however, I believe James Madison
has one of the strongest general education programs in
the country for an institution of its size."

Junior Casey Kozilo, an English major, was a member
of the first class to experience the Gen Ed program. "It's
good for you to get a well-rounded education but some

smffis just ridiculous. It takes up too much time, especially
when you're trying to get out in four years." Juniors also
faced further difficulty with the "clusters" when they foimd
that certain classes appeared to disappear all together after they
had counted on taking them. The replacements, like Micro-
economics, prove far from enjoyable for an English major.

Students from all academic levels questioned the value
of many of the program's required classes.

"I think that some of the classes are good and cover
important information, but there is an over-abundance of
courses and most are really not necessary. I wish that instead
of having the pressure of Gen Ed courses, we could only
be concerned with the pressure of choosing a major," said
freshman Allison Whitten.

Sophomores in particular, found themselves still ful-
filling class requirements while simultaneously keeping
their GPAs from plunging in their newly declared major.
"Gen Ed courses are harder than classes I'm taking for my
major. If I'm not majoring in science then why do I care?"
sophomore Jennifer Epler asked.

presented a different draft.

Several members voiced their disagreement with the
statement. "It should say something and I'm aftaid this
doesn't," said Matt Conrad, senator ot arts and letters.

On Jan. 13, the 29-member University Council, com-
posed ot Rose, SGA President Austin Adams, SGA Vice
President Heather Herman, university vice presidents, the
college and library deans, and faculty and student represen-
tatives, met to discuss the draft.

"I think our mission statement should stand on its own,"
said Adams at the meeting. "This [new] statement doesn't
stand on its own, it's too vague. " He also stated that the SGA
thought students were not part ot the "we " in the statement.

Rose disagreed. "As president of this institution I am
very proud of the mission statement because it totally points
to the students."

Despite the SGA's unanimous disapproval, the Uni-
versity Council approved the statement and the Board of
Visitors unanimously approved it soon thereafter.

The method the university chose to bring about both
"All Together One" and the revised mission statement only
led to a more fragmented and difficult relationship
between students and members of the administration. ■

ijij-ie.

One sophomore wished he had a similar course load to
some of his senior friends. "The program sucks. The clusters
are no good and I ended up taking a lot of classes I don't need.
I definitely would have preferred Liberal Studies. It makes
it seem like you're more in control," said Michael Covington.

Students, it appeared, were bearing the brunt of the
university's "growing pains." Many majors required that a
certain GPA be achieved and maintained. Students foimd
this extremely difficult to do when they were obligated to take
Gen Ed courses that proved significantly strenuous.

Some professors had different opinions. Dr. Rex Fuller,
SCOM professor and coordinator of Cluster One, felt that,
"The general education program was proving to be successful
and that the university's core liberal arts curriculimi had been
significandy strengthened as a resiJt of General Education."

Faculty and staff at the university appeared to have
mixed feelings on the topic. No matter what their opinion,
many students and faculty still had a rocky road ahead of
them as the university continued to work out the kinks in
the General Education program. ■

Whether it was thrmfflW the editorial seaion of The Breeze, talking amongst
colleagues or just daily conversation, many students and faculty expressed
their discontent with the parking situation on campus during the year.

Many students left their homes 30 minutes to an hour before their class
started, only to find a line ot cars waiting to enter a parking lot.

"It was disastrous, really," said junior transfer student Autumn Smiley.
"I think that if you pay tor a permit, you should be able to get a parking spot."

The university made an effort to remedy
the problem with the concepdon of a new $6.6
million parking garage. However, the price
tag left a big hole in the pockets of those
willing to shell out money for a parking per-
mit. Full-time commuters had to hand over
$140 for the privilege of parking in only 14
of the 40 lots available on campus before 4
p.m. Residents paid the same fee, but only
had four designated lots to park in before 4 p.m. Seniors were the only group
given the option to buy a sticker on a semester basis for $70 per semester.
Having their annual salary used as a guideline for the year's permit fees, faculty
and staff held the largest burden, paying up to $360 per sticker.

Construction of the new four-level parking garage between Bridgeforth
Stadium and Newman Lake broke groimd in March. The appearance of muddy
bulldozers and yellow tape left pedestrians inconvenienced and Greek Row
residents pulling their pillows over their heads in order to drown out the noise.

Handwritten and hard-to-read parking citauons ceased to exist after parking
services introduced a new device used to generate weather-resistant tickets.

The thermal printer, known as Rxl , was first used near the end of December
and allowed parking enforcement officials to access the permit database
immediately. The Rxl had the ability to alert officials when a vehicle was
eligible for towing or a lost or stolen permit had been found. ■

"James Madison University offers a solid mix of liberal ans and pre-professional
programs that does credit to the school's illustrious name," proclaimed the 1999
edition of "Barron's Best Buys in College Education. ' In keeping with tradition, the
university continued to impress the nation with its academic reputation as students
and faculty worked toward an ever-brightening future. Programs, groups and indi-
viduals succeeded in an endless variety ot venues.

In the 1998 and 1999 editions of U.S. News and World Report, the university's
speech pathology program was ranked 41" among 50 top graduate level programs —
the only university in Virginia to make the list. The university's accounting program
was also ranked in the top 10 of universities with students who passed the CPA exam
on their first tr)'.

Changes were evident all over campus. The CISAT campus continued to
structurally grow while the College of Business and the School of Media Arts and
Design struggled with overcrowding. The General Education program experienced
continued growing pains, while the last students from the Liberal Studies program
prepared to graduate.

Individuals also made great strides in the tradition of innovation. Because of
students' efforts, the university officially honored Martin Luther King Jr. Day. An
ISAT student conduaed important research for Merck, Inc. while still others, faciJty
and students alike, gave back to the community building houses, supporting charities
and offering their time to help others.

Examples of Dukes' success were plentiful as the university moved forward into
the 21" century. ■ by Anna Lucas

evetybody's doing it

With about 4,000 students enrolled in its 18 offered majors, the College
of Ans and Letters was the largest and most popular college at the university.
With a wide range of course offerings and concentrations, sections of the college
stru^ed with the large etuoUment but most smdents found the traditional studies
to be intellectually challenging and their degrees promising a successful future.
Sometimes the large number of students in a department created problems.
English majors accounted for the highest number of students, with 571, but
Keezell Hall did not compare to the frustration found in Anthony-Seeger Hall.
Due to the School of Media Arts and Design's overwhelming number of
applicants, a new program, tided pre-SMAD, was devised with the intended
purpose of narrowing the number of students by establishing requirements
and restrictions. "1 think that SMAD will be an intriguing major to pursue if
1 ever get past the admissions process, " said sophomore Tim Cavenaugh.

There were many students who were more than satisfied with the school
they selected. "People complain about the Music Building, but I think it is
the best building because I get to do what 1 love to do, all day, every day,"
junior music major Michelle McDaniel said.

Senior SCOM major Dave Malter was also pleased with his college. "SCOM,
in my opinion, is the best major on this campus. It has prepared me above and
beyond what I ever expected. It also has the best group of students and faculty
I could ever ask for, " said Malter.

Art and political science majors were two of the more popular majors in
the College of Arts and Letters. With 430 art majors, it would seem difficult
to accommodate everyone's needs, but most students seemed satisfied. Junior
Jon Cheski said, "The teachers challenge us, but at the same time give us the
freedom we need to be creative."

Totaling 332 students, political science majors felt ready for their
futiu'es. Senior Matt Indrisano said, "My major thus far has prepared me
with a good basis to go on to law school." ■

Maury and Jackson Halls were the first buildings completed on campus

Before D-Hall, students ate in a dining room in Harrison Hall

There is a boulder in the basement of Keezell Hall. Rather than removing it,

they built around It

Jackson Hall was built in 1 909 and was originally called "Dorm #1 ." It wasn't

given its present name until 1918

Anthony-Seeger Hall was built not only to educate the children of Harrisonburg

as well as future teachers, but also to promote child bearing in college students

Keezell Hall used to have a pool in the basement with room G-8 as its deep end

When he was president of the university, chancellor Dr. Ronald Carrier and

his family used to live in Hillcrest House and invited each incoming student

"Teaching;
chorus is the
next step for
me to take;
it's some-
thing that I'm
interested in
and have
wanted to do."
» senior
Jason Snow

At a university ot almost 13,000 students, one voice stood out from the rest
... literally.

Senior Jason Snow, a music education major with a vocal concentration, spent
the past four years developing a reputation as having one of the school's most out-
standing voices. As a member ot Kappa Kappa Psi, a national band fraternity, since
his freshman year. Snow has served as vice president of service for rwo years. His
responsibilities included setting up and coordinating Service events, setting up equip-
ment for the Marching Royal Dukes, organizing the music library and heading the
service committee. His committee panicipated in the adopt-a-highway and campus
adopt-a-flowerbed programs, as well as selling daffodils in the spring to support the
American Cancer Society.

Yet it was his involvement in The Madison Project that led him to campus-wide
fame. Snow followed in the footsteps of his brother, J.R. ('98), who was one of the
group's founding fatliers. Serving as music direaor, Jason conduced rehearsals and worked
closely with Adam Klein and business manager Mike Hadary to set up events and equip-
ment for the group which practiced approximately five hours a week. The group
performed about 20 to 30 times per semester at charities, clubs, campus events, high
schools, colleges and for alumni. The charities to which they made contributions
included Camp Heartland, the Women's Breast Cancer Foundation, Make-a-Wish
Foundation® and Take Back the Night.

Snow's extensive background in the university's music scene began when he was
section leader for the saxophone section in the Marching Royal Dukes for two years.
After playing sax since the third grade and throughout high school. Snow became
interested in singing when he entered college. After his sophomore year, he joined the
Madison Singers, a select choir of about 27 students, which performed on campus and at
local churches. Snow was also a member of the JMU Chorale, a select chorus comprised
of about 100 singers. Fulfilling his student-teaching requirement. Snow taught chorus
at Spotswood High School for six weeks in the spring in order to learn more about his
possible career choice as a chorus teacher. "Basically, teaching chorus is the next step for
me to take; it's something that I'm interested in and have wanted to do," said Snow.

Ensuring that his name would be remembered for at least three years after he
graduated. Snow served as an Orientation Program Assistant where he assisted fresh-
men as they adjusted to their first year in college. "I enjoyed being seen as a leader
by the upcoming fi-eshmen and it gave me a chance to talk about some of the opportu-
nities JMU offers, " he said. Snow, himself, not only took advantage of the oppor-
tunities the school offered, but he created new opportunities for talented students
to follow in the future. ■

Amused by all the attention,
senior Jason Snow tries to
escape the grasp of his
adoring fans, members of
Note-oriety. Due to his
involvement with The
IVladison Project and Kappa
Kappa Psi, Snow was well-
known around campus. ■

"I'm being

immortalized

... I'm not

sure why."

» Dr. William

O'Meara

Dr. William O'Meara's was a name known throughout campus. Standing well
over six feet tall and topped in snow-white curls, he had a memorable presence, both
in and out of the classroom. But at more than a glance, O'Meara was an able,
enthusiastic and caring educator who was well-loved by his students.

O'Meara was a tenured member of the department of philosophy and religion.
In addition to upper level philosophy courses taken mosdy by students in the major,
he routinely taught Introduction to Philosophy, a 100-level course that fulfilled old
Liberal Studies requirements and was part of many students' General Education
experiences. He also regidarly taught Existentialism and Introduction to Logic, classes
popular amongst smdents of all majors. Outside the classroom, O'Meara led several
independent studies and small seminars for philosophy and religion majors and was
responsible for coordinating student internships within the department.

Regardless of the subject matter he was teaching, O'Meara's soft-spoken yet
emotive demeanor endeared him to students. "I'm being immortalized ... I'm not
sure why," was the only explanation he gave to his class as he glanced shyly at our
photographer. He felt that philosophy was not simply a discipline to be learned but
an activity to be practiced in everyday life. O'Meara and the philosopher Socrates agreed:
"The unexamined life is not worth living," so he made every class one in which students
actively participated and examined their own lives alongside course material. When he
asked his smdents to share, O'Meara was equally willing to share his own life experiences
with his students.

Students remembered O'Meara because his interest in his students didn't end when
class did. It was not rare to see a line of smdents waiting outside his door, long after office
hours had ended. Bill O'Meara made time for every one. ■

"Through knowledge we

become wise and learn to

understand one another."

» senior Chris Jones

"The single most important issue to me at JMU is the establishment of cultural
and gender harmony," said senior sociology major Chris Jones. "In order to achieve
this, we as students, faculty, staff and administrators must learn from and befriend one
another. Through knowledge we become wise and leafn to understand one another."

Evident through his involvement in a variety of activities, including the Black
Smdent Alliance, Brothers Of a New Direction and the NAACP, Jones was committed
to working toward positive racial relations on campus.

In September, he took his commitment a step further by organizing a silent
protest during Dr. Linwood Rose's presidential inauguration to voice a variety of
grievances he and others had with the administration's policies and procedures.
The main issue at hand was the administration's refusal
to declare Martin Luther King Jr. Day a university holiday.
Despite repeated efforts, the university had told students
for two years that it could not just decide to add a new
holiday to the university calendar. Some students felt
betrayed when the university approved a holiday for the
presidential inauguration ceremony.
Other concerns included the lack of financial aid
packages for students, the number of minority students and faculty and limited
funding for minority programming and staff.

"I felt an obligation to do 'the right thing,'" said Jones. "We chose to protest
during the ceremony . . . because we wanted all those affiliated with the university
to know our issues."

Over 65 students from university organizations joined Jones in a silent march
around the Quad, commended by observers for its respectful nature. The protesters
displayed signs with messages such as: "To MLK you say NO WAY, but for Dr. Rose
you have your day" and "Diversity is not a catch phrase."

"The protest organized itself," said Jones. "Everywhere I went students wanted
to observe MLK Day as a holiday and felt betrayed that the inauguration was a
holiday. We wanted to make a statement, and students wanted justice."

On Oct. 28, Jones and the other protesters were finally heard as the University
Council voted unanimously to cancel all classes annually on Martin Luther King Jr.
Day beginning January 200 1 . "In my opinion, embarrassment made the admini-
stration approve MLK Day as a holiday, said Jones. "The protest simply exposed
the administration's hypocritical ways." ■

"When people hold an Oscar statue in their hands, you can tell they're practicing
acceptance speech in their head," said Dr. Tom Arthur, who up until a few years ago
displayed Melvin Douglas' Academy Award in his house. As the aaor's literary executor,
Arthur wrote Douglas' biography and kept some of his belongings in safe-keeping.

Douglas acted from the 1930s through the early '80s. Up until his death, he was
a close friend to Arthur and his wife. "We were very good friends. He was a highly
intelligent man and one of the first political actors," said Arthur, who added that
Douglas first ran Franklin Roosevelt's political campaign in 1 940.

However, friendships with famous people were nothing new to Arthur. He grew
up in a suburb of Chicago in what he described as an "artsy" environment. His uncle's
brother, Alfred Henry Maurer, was considered America's first abstract artist. Arthur's
aunt, Emily Harm, was a well-known writer. She vwote for The New Yorker, published
over 60 books and had served time in a Japanese prison camp. Most recently, one
of Arthur's youngest cousins, Amanda Boxer, played the role of the mother in the
film "Saving Private Ryan."

Growing up in such a creative environment, Arthur couldn't help turning to
the arts as a career. He studied at Northwestern University and spent some time in
advertising but realized acting was his true calling. Arthur loved the art of acting,
especially teaching and studying it. He wrote numerous articles and criticisms and
direaed various productions, including one of his iavorites, Shakespeare's "King Lear."

Arthur first taught at Illinois State where he just happened to have members of the
band Steppenwolf as students. Visiting Sweet Briar College while he performed in
Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie," Arthur was determined to find a posi-
tion in the Shenandoah area.

Arriving at the university with his family in 1973, Arthur loved the change in
environment from his home area of Chicago. "I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
This place had seasons, and the temperature went up to the 60s most weeks," said
Arthur. Arthur loved teaching and especially enjoyed working under the "free-wheeling"
Dr. Ronald Carrier while he was president.

During his time in Harrisonburg, Arthur continued to keep his contacts with
well-known figures. One year he went to Africa and became acquainted with one of
South Africa's greatest writers, Athol Fugard.

Teaching acting, however, remained his greatest passion. "I tend to admire
aaors who are technically gifted," said Arthur who listed Gary Grant, Jimmy Stewart
and Meryl Streep as examples. At the university, Arthur has enjoyed working with
students equally passionate about acting. ■

Living together and playing
two sports together for four
years has brought seniors
Julie Weiss and Julie
Martinez closer as friends.

As seniors in high school, Julie Martinez and Julie Weiss decided to live together
their first year of college when they realized they would both be attending the same
school. Like most freshmen, the two women soon found they weren't as compatible
as they initially thought. Unlike most freshmen, however, Martinez and Weiss not
only shared a campus and a room, they shared lives on two collegiate athletic teams.

Martinez and Weiss entered college knov^dng that they wanted to play two sports:
field hockey and lacrosse. They each had found success in both sports all tour years
of high school. Weiss began playing field hockey in middle school because she wanted
to participate in a sport. Martinez chose to play field hockey at the recommendation
of her older brother.

Top-level field hockey and lacrosse programs at Princeton University and the
University of Maryland recruited both women, but they decided to go to JMU
because they loved the atmosphere and the fact that the coaching staff was willing to
accommodate their decisions to be committed to both sports.

Prior to coming to college, the two Pennsylvania natives knew each other through
Futures, an All-Star field hockey league. As a result of having so much in common,
they decided to live together their freshman year. With Martinez being the light-
hearted, messy roommate and Weiss, the focused, neat one, conflicts arose. Yet
despite their different personalities, the women continued to live together, although
in separate rooms, for the next three years.

"It was exciting for me to come to a place where I felt really comfortable and
to have two coaches who understood that you want to work hard and be committed
to two sports," said Weiss.

Both women decided to continue playing both sports in college simply because
they never were able to choose a favorite. "Field hockey is very disciplined, and lacrosse
is very free spirited. I think that each spon brings out the two different sides of me,"
said Martinez. Weiss felt that competing in both sports gave her a balance that would
prevent her from getting burned out in one or the other, {continued on p. 224) »

(continued from p. 223) » Both women accumulated many accomplishments
during their college years. Weiss was voted to the CFHCA National Academic
Squad in 1998 and was a starter on attack for the NCAA tournament quarter-
finalist lacrosse team in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Also in 1998, Weiss was named
to the U.S. Developmental Lacrosse team. Martinez's field hockey accomplish-
ments included 1996 CAA Rookie of the Year and All-America third team
and All-CAA first team in 1997. In lacrosse she was All- America second team
and All-South first team in 1998. In 1999 she made the College Lacrosse USA
preseason All-America second team.

Both agreed that the only difference between playing one sport and playing
two is that they traveled more than other athletes. They said athletes who
played one sport put in as many hours during the ofF-season. However, missing
out on pre- and post-season conditioning didn't make the women's training
for either sport any less strenuous.

They returned to the university at the beginning of August, four weeks
before most students, to begin conditioning for field hockey. The field hockey
season lasted through mid-November, after which the two trained on their own
for lacrosse until winter break. After break, they returned to school and began
training with the team for the spring season. The lacrosse season lasted through
May and following the final game, they began focusing once again on field
hockey, spending summers working at camps or playing in pick-up games.
Despite the hard work that went into focusing on two sports, they considered
themselves lucky that they didn't have to go through the strenuous year-round
conditioning sessions that their teammates had to endure, but instead could
spend that time playing another sport they loved.

Both Martinez and Weiss agreed that the friendships they gained through
playing field hockey and lacrosse were incomparable to any of their other accom-
plishments and was what they enjoyed most about being involved in the sports.

Despite the sacrifices that came with playing multiple sports, such as
going to parties or missing a class to sleep in, both believed that the positives
outweighed the negatives. Martinez felt that through sports she learned many
life lessons and grew as a person throughout her college career. Weiss agreed
with Martinez's belief, saying there are many life lessons to be learned through
sports, such as leadership, dealing with adversity and working as a team.

"When you play a sport, you don't realize that you really are preparing
yourself for so much more," said Weiss.

In their four years at the university, the two women contributed gready to
both teams through their natural leadership and competitiveness. Martinez
felt that her enthusiasm was her greatest asset and contribution to both teams.

"I think that my enthusiasm is catching because when I come into field
hockey, they haven't seen that in months, and then I go back to lacrosse and
it's refreshing to them," explained Martinez. "I'll do anything to put a smile
on someone's face."

Weiss felt that her positive attitude was her strongest asset. She described
it as focused and disciplined.

Their coaches agreed that the women contributed a great deal to both
teams in four years, specifically through their positive influence over the team.

"Both of these women are natural athletes and work hard on staying
on top their games and their academics," said field hockey coach Christy
Morgan. "It takes a special person to excel at two sports at this level, and
both of these players work hard to be the best they can be." ■

The lights dimmed. The last person had slipped in through the auditorium door,
and the audience waited in the dark. Throats were cleared and programs rusded as
a hush fell over the crowd. A lone figure appeared on the stage in Anthony-Seeger Hall
auditorium. Another senior recital was about to begin.

All seniors in the music program were required to perform a senior recital as the
culmination of their university music career. Depending on their course of study,
musicians prepared for half-hour or full-hour recitals. Performance majors were required
to play or sing for an hour and were graded afterwards. Music education majors,
however, only needed a half-hour recital to meet the requirement. Some still chose to
do a Rill hour.

"Someone told me your senior recital is the second bluest
day next to your wedding," said senior voice major Daniel
Hoy. "You think about it everyday for three-and-a-half years
and watch your friends do theirs."

Hoy performed in the fall because he planned on smdent
teaching in the spring. Although he had accompanists with
him. Hoy was the center of attention for an entire hour.
Singing the beginning of a Johannes Sebastian Bach piece

and several other songs in different languages, including French and German, Hoy
had spent his entire college career preparing for that hour in one way or another.
Hoy practiced specifically for his recital about an hour a day but also exercised his
voice as both a member of the University Chorale and the Madison Singers in the
semesters prior to his recital. Hoy said the recital was more like a stepping stone to
later performances because, "If I messed up, I'd still graduate." Performing, he added,
helped him to appreciate the singing of contemporary performers like Dave Matthews
and Sarah McLachlan.

"Usually you're in an ensemble, but it's very gratifying and humbling to play
by yourself," said Hoy. "It's all you, all the pressure is on you, but it's the best
feeling in the world when it's over." (continued on p. 228) »

(continued from p. 227) » During college, every music major, no matter what their
instrument, had to undergo a series of juries, or practice performances, before a panel
of judges. Juries were the equivalent of final exams in other classes. Music industry
major Mike Shaw played classical guitar at the university. "It's good to prepare by
performing a lot. The more you perform, the more comfortable you are with the
music," said Shaw, who underwent a series of mini-performances before his recital
in February. Shaw also played in a guitar ensemble that held its own separate recitals.

Shaw's goals for his recital were relatively simple. "I would like to convey how
much time I've put in preparing, but also pay proper respect to the piece and its
composer with a good interpretation," said Shaw. Shaw played viola for five years
before the guitar became his main instrument. The guitar, he felt, was capable of
more texture because it was more complex than the viola.

"Performing in a formal setting is a lot different than with a group, in a relaxed
situation," said Shaw. He related a story about one of his first performances when
he played the violin as a child. At age five, he repeated the song he had to play over
and over again because he was so nervous. Shaw gave true meaning to the name of
his Suzuki piece, "Perpetual Motion."

For some people, however, performing solo was not a nerve-
wrracking experience. French horn player Wendy Peterson felt she
owed it to her audience not to be nervous during the recital. "The
audience doesn't want to hear a nervous performer, they want to
hear a confident musician." Peterson's preparation entailed many
rehearsals and coordinating music with her accompanists: a flutist,
a pianist and three other horns who joined her during certain pieces.
Deciding what to play and the order in which to play them in
were also important steps in the process. Hoy, Shaw and Peterson all
carefully seleaed their pieces under the guidance of their instruaors.

"It's a good experience in rehearsal technique," said Peterson.
"You practice self-discipline and organization." Like Hoy and
Shaw, Peterson had other activities she was involved in throughout
her years at the university. Peterson played horn in the marching
band, wind symphony, chamber orchestra, brass ensemble, horn
choir and Orfif Kodally ensemble, a group that worked with
elementary school music programs.

Whether or not a senior recital could rival a wedding day in
importance, the independent performance was the ultimate goal
in a music major's imiversity career. According to Hoy, after getting
up before a crowd of people focused entirely on your music, giving
a speech in class or talking in public was cenainly less intimidating.
When it was over, a music major was ready to take on the world. ■

cruising for credit

Like many students, senior Chris Lannan headed south for
spring break 1999, taking a three-day cruise to the Bahamas. Unlike
most students, however, Lannan earned class credit for his trip.

As pan of a one-block hospitality and toiuism course, Lannan,
along with two instructors and 25 other students, went on a three-
day cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. The group met with an entertainment
direaor from Carnival Cruise Lines and received the inside scoop
about working onboard a cruise ship.

"Before hand, I was considering a career in the cruise industr)'," said
Lannan. "Afterwards, my opinion changed after learning that Id
have to work nine months out of the year without a day off. '

When they weren't learning the ins and outs of the industn,', the

» Dr. Scott

Whittier

Imagine being 16 again, hanging out in the courtyard of your high school with
some friends talking about the weekend when one of your classmates walks in with
two semi-automatic weapons and starts shooting at everyone in his path. Not too long
ago, kids brought water guns or fake knives to school, but times have changed. School
violence became a serious issue in our nation and someone or something must be
to blame. Children are supposed to be innocent and incapable of killing, but incidents
of violence have increased. Society has been looking for something to blame for the
fact that children have become so desensitized to killing and video games were at
the heart of the controversy.

Three classes in the College of Business presented a series of mock trials based on a
real-life school shooting in which parents of two school shooting victims sued both a
video rental store and video game manufacturer for negligence and product liability.
The mock trial was organized by assistant professor of business law Dr. Scott Whittier,
who said, "I can teach the law and try to tell my students that it is very complicated
with many shades of gray, but hopefully the trials taught students the law better than I
could ever explain it."

The mock trials Whittiet organized were based on the real-life case of James
vs. Meow Media in Paducah, Ky., in which a 14-year-old boy opened fire outside
his high school, killing three girls and injuring many others. The parents of the three
girls filed a lawsuit against the manufacturers of the video games that the 14-year-
old frequently played.

The mock trials were centered around the real-life case but consisted of fictional
information. Baines vs. Rewind Video and Chaos Entertainment was the name of
the case, in which an awkward 16-year-old boy named Franklin Pierce opened fire
on his classmates. Pierce had few friends at school and was frequently picked on
because of his appearance and intelligence. It was found that Pierce was an avid
player of violent video games made by Chaos Entertainment, which an older friend
rented for him from Rewind Video against company policy. Many felt that the video
games influenced him to kill. The fictional victims, Teddy Barnes and the parents
of deceased Ricky Kyler, sued Chaos Entertainment, (continued on p. 234) »

trials. Organized by business law professor
Scott Whittier, the trials were held in the
CISAT/Computer Science Building. Pro-
fessors or local lawyers served as judges,
while the jury consisted of students from
area high schools, Eastern Mennonite Uni-
versity, Bridgewater College and Harrison-
burg residents. ■ Photo by Allison Serkes

trials held, five of the juries ruled in favor of
the plaintiffs. ■ Photo by Allison Serkes

(continued from p. 233) » the video manufacturer, and Rewind Video, the franchise
that rented the videos, based on neghgence and product Uabilit)'. Pierce injured
Barnes and fatally shot Kyler.

Whittier wanted his students to understand how the legal process worked through
a "hands-on experience." Whittier searched for a simple case that was "innovative enough
that it would allow students to contribute something to law. The case has not gone
to coun yet and I hoped that the lav^yers involved in the actual case would be inter-
ested in how the students approached the case and what the juries decided."

Whittier chose to base the trials on the James vs. Meow Media case because it
was the first case in which someone alleged that a video game caused someone to commit a
violent crime. Although Whittier based the mock trials on an actual case, he spent
most of his summer researching and writing the facts of the mock trials himself
Whittier handed-out packets of information when he first introduced the project
to his students. The packets included watness statements, a police report, a psycho-
logical evaluation, company documents, hospital records, school grade reports and
legal documents. "I researched many school shootings so that I could create a realistic
shooter and shooting incident. I loosely based the corporate documents on documents
I have seen in my legal career."

Over 250 business law smdents participated in the mock trials and were assigned to
either the plaintiffs case or one of the defendants' cases. The students acted as either
the lawyers or witnesses for their side, including expert witnesses. The plaintiffs'
law)'ers were responsible for proving that video game violence influenced Pierce to
commit the crime. The plaintiffs' lawyers also introduced an expert witness who
believed that Pierce was influenced by the violent video games he frequently played.

As for the defendants, the lawyers of Chaos Entertainment argued that they
could not be held liable for Pierce's actions because the video games had ratings that
restricted the sale or rental of violent video games to certain audiences. Chaos also
argued that they could not police every store that sold or rented their video games in
order to make sure that their video games did not fall into the wrong hands. Chaos' lawyers
also intrr^duced an expert witness who testified that there was no conclusive evidence
that violent video games influenced violent behavior in children.

The lawyers for Rewind Entertainment argued that their company could not
be held liable for the actions of one employee in one of their franchises and thus
could not be found negligent.

The "courtrooms ' were set up in classrooms in the CISAT/Computer Science
Building and jurors consisted of volimteer students from Spotswood High School,
college students from Eastern Mennonite University and Bridgewater College, and
Harrisonbuig residents. The judges were either professors with law degrees or local lawyers.
The trials were held from Nov. 15-18 and each trial lasted about rwo-and-half hours.

Each case consisted of three different counts against each defendant. All counts
pertained to the defendants being negligent or liable for their product. Of the 17
trials held, the plaintiffs prevailed on at least one count in five of the trials. The
juries found in favor of the plaintiffs in five different trials on coimts against Rewind
Video for negligence. ■

"Both in and
out of the class-
room, I see my
relationships
[with students]
being one of
advice and
consultation.
There are several
students I see
who just come
by to chat and
get my perspec-
tive ... I like that."
» Dr. Joyce Guthrie

HRIE

"I am an admitted workaholic," said Dr. Joyce
Guthrie, associate dean for student services in the
College of Business.

Since arriving at the university in 1991, Guthrie
had flexed her muscles with the goal of helping stu-
dents. As the director of the College of Business
Student Development Center, Guthrie had the
chance to do just that.

As associate dean, Guthrie was responsible for
the development and implementation of academii
policies for the CoUege of Business. She also providci!
academic advising services for business majors and
minors, students considering a major in business, and
students considering applying to the university.

The Student Development Center was "a centralized point of contact for College
of Business students with questions about requirements for their majors and/or
minors, registration and other procedures in the university, as well as information
regarding who to see on campus regarding academic related issues," said Guthrie.
"From this standpoint, we benefit students by being their initial if not single point
of contact for information."

In this role, Guthrie had the chance to form close relationships with the students
she helped. "Both in and out of the classroom, I see my relationship [with students]
being one of advice and consultation, and at times to be a sounding board for a stu-
dent who is struggling to make a decision, about school, work, personal, etc. There
are several students I see who just come by to chat and get my perspective on a matter
they are dealing with. 1 like that."

Guthrie also served as the adviser to Delta Sigma Pi, a professional business
fraternity, and as the college liaison to the College of Business Student Advisory
Council, "a conduit for the flow of information and communication between the
college and the CoB student body."

And Guthrie's efforts to help students were not overlooked by the university.
Most notably, among her many awards, in 1994, she was honored for her work through
the Distinguished Female Collegiate Education Award, and three years later, she
received both the JMU Outstanding Faculty Adviser Award and the College of
Business Outstanding Service Award.

Yet Guthrie's efforts weren't limited to the role of adviser. As a faculty member
of the marketing program, she also taught one class a semester. "I hope that in the
classroom, my applications approach to instruction helps students understand the
concepts and theories of the textbook in real world context," she said.

But most of all, Guthrie was determined to see all of her students and advisees
succeed. "The part of my job that keeps me going is teaching and helping students
achieve their acade mic potential and goals. I get more excited than they do when
students tell me they got the internship they went after or made the Dean's or
President's List." ■

Sitting dtop the Delta Sigma Pi
seesaw used during their
annual Seesaw-athon, Dr. Joyce
Guthrie enjoys getting to know
her students and advisees. In
addition to providing academic
advising as associate dean for
student services for the College
of Business, Guthrie also served
as the faculty adviser for Ain,
a professional business frater-
nity. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid

"I got called

back, which I

couldn't

believe. I love

to sin^ and

act and this

was a great

opportunit\'."

> senior Mike

Minarik

ARIK

"All my life I've been playing it safe," said senior Mike Minarik. "You know, go
to college, get the degree. I wanted to take a risk. "

And that he did. In September, Minarik, a member of The Madison Project
and the Madisonians, traveled to New York to gain some auditioning experience by
competing for a part in a traveling production of "The Mixsic of Andrew Lloyd
Webber." Little did he know that the audition would lead to the chance of a lifetime.

After auditioning against about 1 ,000 other hopefuls, the speech communicarions
major and business minor landed one of the 12 leads. Yet no one was more
surprised b)' his selection than Minarik himself "I heard about [the audition] through
a magazine called 'Backstage' where a lot of New York auditions are advenised,"
he said. "I got called back, which I couldn't believe. I love to sing and act and
this was a great opportunit)'."

After dropping all but two of his fall semester classes when those professors
assured him he could take comprehensive exams upon his return, Minarik packed
up and headed for the Big Apple. There he began rehearsing with the other cast
members before their first big performance.

The show included songs from the biggest hits of Lloyd Webber's career, including
"The Phantom of the Opera," "Cats," "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream
Coat," "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Evita," "Sunset Boulevard" and "Starlight Express."
In addition to performing songs with other tour members, Minarik, a baritenor, per-
formed the duet, "The Phantom of the Opera," and the solo, "The Music of the Night."

"The people I get to work with are extremely talented," said Minarik Although
none of the other singers were well-known, he had the honor of performing under
two veteran Broadway directors: Patrick Vaccariello, the musical director of "Cabaret,"
and Arlene Phillips, director of "Saturday Night Fever."

"I see [the tour] as a tremendous internship," said Minarik. "It's like a finance
major getting his foot in the door of Arthur Andersen before he graduates. I have
met a lot of influential Broadway people who can become great contacts if I decide
to pursue this kind of work. I feel very privileged."

By the end of the tour in May, Minarik had performed in 65 cities and sang
for Andrew Lloyd Webber himself.

"I do plan on coming back to school," he said, "but when is the question. I have
met a lot of influential people while I was rehearsing in New York, and returning
to school right after the tour didn't sound beneficial to them. But my parents have
always instilled in me that you should always finish things that you begin, so that's
what the plan is. " ■

cents

Believe it or not, but vou can find fashion
outside Valley Mall and its Route 33 environs.
Students lose valuable money and individuality as they escape to the motif of the
brand name which is, for the most part, an inflated, over-designed style and an
expensive, appropriated version of the original garment sold years earlier.

Hoping to both revitalize older clothing styles and save their fellowperson
some much needed milk money, Bluestone photographer Todd Grogan and Editor
in Chief Jeff Morris visited Gift and Thrift and Salvation Army to prove that it's
still possible to walk into class with a cheap and sexy pair of pants. »

(J)

IEyes squinting and lips puckered,
Jeff Morris, Bluestone Editor in
Chief, shows his classic thrift store game
face. A veteran thrift store shopper,
Morris' thirst for old colorful clothes is
tempered by his shrewd, no-nonsense
business attitude. In other words, Morris
gets what he wants. He is holding
Grogan's apple.

2 With a final bite of his apple,
Bluestone photographer Todd
Grogan pauses in front of the Salvation
Army, located on South High Street.
Salvation Army offered a variety of
clothes, furniture, appliances, toys and
general knickknacks; many things Morris
was about to introduce to the amateur
thrift store shopper Grogan.

7 Assured by Morris that yellow com pie
mented his eyes, Grogan decides on
a yellow V-neck cable sweater. "It's pretty
hot — definitely at the cusp of the fashion
trend," reminded Morris.

6 Mixed in with costumes,
"party clothes" and evening
gowns, Morris finds a jewel of a
shirt at Gift and Thrift, located on
South Main Street. "I'm going to be
wearing this one tonight — better
believe it," smiled Morris.

4 "Beguiling in Argyle." Grogan dis-
covers an old, dependable sweater,
a staple of any good thrift store.

5 Morris decides he likes the
the sweater too; some-
thing about it fitting him better.

While most students were getting ready for bed or preparing for a late night of
studying, several students made themselves comfortable in the hallway of Wilson
Hall's third floor as the clock chimed midnight on Nov. 29. Pillows and sleeping
bags littered the hallway floor as students continued to arrive throughout the night.
By 4 a.m., there were over 70 students lining the hall, all awaiting the first-come,
first-serve sign-ups for the Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program. Having experienced
its most successfiil year in 1999 with 22 trips to locations all over the United States
and one to Haiti, the service program was in high demand.

"The program is based on student initiative. Students come to sign-ups and when
there is not enough room, they will make their own trip," said program coordinator
Kathleen Houser. There was a limit of 25 trips in order to maintain the level of
quality that the university had shown in the past.

"I knew it would be a worthwhile experience, so to make a small sacrifice such as
getting up at 3:30 a.m. to be able to go to Detroit was easy," explained freshman
Sarah MacCarthey.

The common stereotype of spring break included alcohol and beaches but Alter-
native Spring Break gave students "a chance to go against stereotypes and try something
different for a week," said Houser.

The trips were a week of community service in an alcohol- and drug-free environ-
ment. The projects included building houses in Alabama, feeding AIDS patients and
the homeless in New York, repairing natural habitats in Florida and working with
teenage mothers in Ohio.

All the trips were student led and organized. "I'm leading a aip this year because I
want to become more involved at JMU. I want to give people an amazing experience
like I had last year in Florida," said junior Jason Young, who decided to lead a trip
after having participated in one the previous year.

Each leader attended weekly training sessions starting in Oaober and continuing
beyond the spring break trip. At the training sessions, leaders learned about group
building, liability issues and cooking for large groups. The leaders even got to go behind
the scenes of Gibbons Hall and learn the recipes of JMU Head Chef Steve Mangan

"Cooking with Chef Steve was my iavorite training session. Not only is he a greai
chef, but a great guy as well," said senior Megan Lew. The leaders concluded that
session with an after hours feast in an empty D-Hall.

Due to the rigorous training and commitment of all involved in ASB, it was nc
surprise that the program received the Burruss Award for two consecutive years at thi
annual leadership celebration sponsored by Student Organization Services. The award
honored contributions from nonrecog-nized organizations that were student led. In
addition, JMU's program was recognized by BreakAway, the national organization of
alternative breaks, as Program of the Year for 1998.

"I had a wonderful experience leading a trip. I hope I can start volunteering on
a regular basis in my daily life," said senior Janine Murphy.

Junior Angela Cabrales agreed. "ASB gave me a chance to learn about myself
by helping others. It was an experience I will not forget. " ■

e rat race

while many students were playing with their puppies on the Quad
and still others were curling up with cats in the evening, junior Kelly
Badger, a psychology major, was enjoying the company of rodents.

"I love animals so I think the rats are cute," said Badger, who
worked as a manager at the rat lab in the psychology department. Feeding
and weighing the white rats. Badger spent approximately six hours of
the week at the lab.

"Working in the lab has changed what I want to do in graduate
school," said Badger. She originally wanted to work counseling adult
women but began to lean more toward the research aspect of ps)'chology.
Under the direction of Dr. Sherry Serdikoff, an assistant had to be in
the lab whenever they were "running the rats." Badger, who planned on
completing her thesis with Serdikoff, actually enjoyed working with the
rodents. As an animal lover. Badger had no complaints about her job
in the rat race. ■

did you know?

Roop Hall

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

The bond shared berween siblings is one diat could last a lifetime, especially in the
case of senior Julie Clarfield and Brandon Jones. Jones was Clarfield's litde brother,
but the two were not related. Clarfield and Jones participated in the Big Brothers Big
Sisters Program, which was a part of the Boys and Girls Club of America. This mentor-
ing program paired up a caring individual with a child in need.

"I got involved in the program in the beginning of my sophomore year because
I was bothered by how much of college life is self-absorbed," commented Clarfield.
Jones and Clarfield spent several hours a week together, doing homework or
reading together. Jones, a third grader, "is a terrific kid who loves to learn, and really
enjoys school, which is strange for his age," said Clarfield. One of the highlights of
their relationship was the improvement that Clarfield saw in his reading skills.

On other visits they played board games and
sports. Jones, who dreamed of being a football
player, thought, "Julie throws really well for a girl."
His favorite activity was going to McDonald's
where he enjoyed getting a Happy Meal. Their
conversation was filled with laughter and jokes as
they talked about Jones' day.

Their relationship was not only rewarding for
Clarfield but for Jones also. He had been given many
opportunities that normally would never cross his path due to his economic situation.
Jones lived with his mother, aunt and 10-year-old brother. They were all very sup-
portive of the program. Through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program he improved
his learning skills and was given a positive role model.

Big Brothers Big Sisters had a lot to offer its participants. There were approximately
1 80 JMU smdents involved in the program and additional students were always wanted.
To become a member of the program an individual had to go through several interviews,
tests and a comprehensive background check. The program was a two-year
commitment.

As a big brother or sister, students were given the opportunity to change a child's
life as well as add value to their own. "Being involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters has
by far, been the best decision that I have made in college," said Clarfield. ■

"I don't just

want to fill

people with

content they

will lose later.

I want to build

a foundation

of learning

for their

whole lives. "

» Dr. Cheryl

Talley

"I love the brain, " said Dr.Cheryl Talley
as she jumped up and down in front of her
psychology class. The class, titled Drugs and
Behavior, was one of many taught by Talley.
A professor who truly enjoyed her job, Talley's
enthusiasm for teaching was evident in her
motto: "I don't just want to fill people with
content they will lose later. I want to build a
foundation of learning tor their whole lives. "

Talley's talent for psychology was noticed by the National Science Foundation,
which provided her with a grant, a first for a member of the psychology department.
The foundation gave her money as a part of a program designed to increase under-
graduate awareness in science. Talley had expected to apply multiple times before
eventually succeeding but she received the grant on her second attempt. Talley planned
to teach a lighter course load while she worked in the lab studying the peripheral nervous
system on memory.

Teaching was certainly an appropriate profession for Talley who loved working
with children and young people. Talley attended Northwestern University for three
years, took a 10-year break, during which she started a family, and then finished her
senior year at JMU. She completed her graduate work at the University of Virginia.
At one point, Talley realized that her adolescent education had not been sufficient
when compared with those of her white peers at Northwestern. Pardy because of her
own educational experience, Talley decided to devote her life to teaching. "I really
was committed to young people having lives that they love and seeing no limits,"
she said in an interview with the Daily News Record.

In 1996, she was inspired to found Harrisonburg Young Achievers. The group,
which was primarily devoted to helping minorities, in her words, "provides a con-
versation for middle school students to think that what they speak and believe is possible.
Through conversations, I believe we create what we have." The group held weekly discus-
sions where the kids could speak freely about their problems at school or outside of school.

Talley used an approach to teaching known as "Alro-centrism. " A holistic worldview,
her teaching placed an emphasis on how everything was connected. The Afro-centric
method made sure science was benefiting humanity to the best of its abilities.

No matter what method Talley used to educate her students, her motives were
simple. "I am passionate about human beings reaching the capacity to love each other." ■

A small dance studio in the hean of Harrisonburg has attraaed dance majors
such as seniors Jessica Pyatt and Stefanie Quinones to teach what they have spent
their lives learning and perfecting. Right around the corner from Jess's Quick
Lunch, Dance & Company opened its doors in 1987 and has since hired college
students as instructors. "The JMU instructors all have a passion to continue
dancing. They are extremely responsible ... they know what it takes and what's
expected of them," said owner Drew Jones-Hamilton.

Pyatt had been teaching dance for seven years. She worked not only at Dance
& Company but also at the Lexington School of Dance. She taught ballet,
tap, jazz and modern 10 times a week between the two smdios. "1 love teaching
and hope to make a career out of it," Pyatt said. "I strive to increase the student's
technical ability, while creating a positive environment. I want them to have
fun and enjoy dancing as much as I do. "

A double major in dance and English, Pyatt maintained her skills by taking
a minimum of five classes per week. "My experiences within the JMU dance
department have taught me that the best teachers are not only the ones who
push you to a higher level of dancing, but push you to a new level of under-
standing about yourself, your limits and your dedication to the art. "

Her dedication developed in first grade in a grocery store with her mother.
"There was a small studio next door to the grocery store, and my mom asked
me if 1 would like to sign up for classes. I've been dancing ever since."

Even with her husy schedule, Pyan found time to participate in activities
complementing her dance background. She was a member of the Virginia Rep-
ertory Dance Company (VRDC), JMU's pre-professional ensemble where she
was given opportunities to work with professional choreographers and to be
the student co-director of the Associate Dance Ensemble, JMU's freshman
performance ensemble. Her choreography skills were also used in Spotswood
High School's performance of "The Sound of Music. "

A native of Lynchburg, Quinones also started dancing at a young age.
In fourth grade after seeing her friend in a dance recital, Quinones quit play-
ing the violin and pursued dance. Quinones followed her aspiration to college.
"I came here undeclared, thinking that I didn't want to major in dance, but ...
after getting involved and talking to professors about it, I knew that I wanted
to major in it."

Quinones' professors impacted her further. "My professors have been an
incredible influence, training me and encouraging me to pursue dance as my
career." Other people that influenced her included her best friend and roommate.
"We've danced together since sixth grade, danced together here at JMU and
will continue pursuing our careers together after graduation. She is definitely
an inspiration and strength in my life, dancing and not dancing."

Quinones' campus involvement extended outside the dance department
in organizations such as Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Marching what opportunities arise.'

Royal Dukes. She also danced in VRDC,

the Contemporary Dance Ensemble and

Dance Theater. Her summers were spent

at the American Dance Festival at Duke

University where she studied under choreographers and teachers as well as

performed many ot their works. All of these experiences added to her skills as

a dancer and more recently an instructor at a professional studio.

Quinones taught dance classes, instructed high school color guards and
choreographed high school show choirs. She took on the challenge of teaching
modern dance in the fall at Dance & Company. "I got started because other
dance majors taught there, and I wanted teaching experience," she said.

For Quinones, modern could be considered a favorite form of dance,
yet it was the last style of dance to which she was introduced. "I had never
taken modern dance before I came here, and now it is my primary form. It is
more expressive, and doesn't have a set vocabulary of movement. Modern
encompasses a huge variety of different styles."

In her classes, Quinones wanted her students to discover what they
enjoyed about dance. "I want to challenge them and to encourage them to
take risks in learning new things." And just as when she entered college, she
looked to the future with an open mind. "I want to get out there and see

the real world

Senior computer science major Tara Sodano was the perfect example
of how an internship can be a very lucrative and valuable experience.

As a summer intern at Capital One in Richmond, Va., she had
the opportunirv' to work in the Information Security Department writh
1 5 other interns. According to Sodano, the department had 14 Microsoft
Access databases containing out-of-date information.

"Our responsibility was to redesign a new system using Oracle to
consolidate ail of the old databases into one efficient database, " she
explained.

The internship wasn't all work and no play. The company frequendy
treated its interns to trips to King's Dominion, whitewater rafting,
laser tag and Major League Baseball games. Time allotted for
training, presentations by speakers in the field and additional technology
courses contributed to the overall "real-world " experience.

Perhaps the best part was that Capital One interns received the same
salary during their 1 0-week session as a new hire in that department.

Positions within the Information Security Department were not
easy to obtain. Applicants had to undergo two rounds of interviews.
The first one consisted of three essay questions. Based on the responses,
finalists traveled to Richmond for a series of formal interviews, which
included completion of a case study and aptitude tests.

Sodano enjoyed her internship so much that she accepted a full
time offer to work with their computer networking team. "I don't have
any fears that I won't be able to perform right out of school. The
internship was really good for my confidence because I got to see what
it s really like working in the industr)' and I did just fine, " said Sodano. ■

I was to have

gone here."

» senior Britten

Blankenship

It was the fall of 1 997 and the aisles of a stuffy
Godwin Hail lecture room provided the only space
for late arrivals. Three young women from their res-
pective sororities stood nervously in the front of the
room, each grasping a set of slightly bent 3"x5 " index
cards. The next few minutes would determine the
Panhellenic Council's president-elea. After undergoing
a competitive application process, the women were
ready to capture their peers wdth speeches intended to
highlight their proposals for the Creek system. It was
this moment that senior Britten Blankenship delivered
a speech that changed the course of her college career.

Blankenship applied for the position of president-tlect of the Panhellenic Council
as a sophomore. By this time, she had already immersed herself in commimity service
and social awareness groups, taught aerobics at UREC, joined a sorority and parti-
cipated in an Alternative Spring Break trip. It took some coaxing from the coordinator
of aerobics and wellness, BGrsten Ryan ('94,'96/M. Ed.), to convince her that another
commitment was possible. Ryan spoke from previous experience, considering that
she had been an active member on Panhellenic's executive board while simultaneously
teaching aerobics as an undergraduate. "In the beginning, I found it difficult to
balance my time between my new position on Panhellenic and teaching aerobics.
Aerobics took a back seat for a while, " said Blankenship.

As president-elect, Blankenship spent one year shadowing the current president
in order to develop essential skills needed to fulfill the position the following year.

During her term, Blankenship had the opportimity to attend several conventions
across the United States. In the fall she traveled to Indianapolis for the Undergraduate
Inter-Fraternity Institute (UII), held at Butler University. The annual convention
consisted of a four-day series of intense leadership training workshops and was
attended by students representing their college s Inter-Fraternity Councils and
Panhellenic Executive Boards.

"I can remember getting into a few heated argimients, but the whole experience
was amazing," recalled Blankenship. "I became closer with the people I met during
this conference than with people I've known since freshman year. "

Working as a group fimess instructor also opened many avenues. Over the course
of four years, she became heavily involved in programs such as PRO-Motion and
Student Advocates for Body Acceptance (SABA). "I wanted to affea the lives of people
and have been able to do this through these organizations. I have benefited from
making positive health choices and want others to do so as well," said Blankenship.

When all of her responsibilities seemed to be getting the best of her, she always
made an effort to sit back and absorb her natural surroundings.

"Observing the positive energy at this school is much more important than
attending a meeting or a class. When I drive through campus, I can't help but think
how lucky I was to have gone here." ■

the Panhellenic Council
provides senior Britten
Blankenship with the
opportunity to make posi-
tive changes to Greek life.
Blankenship started an all-
Greek Habitat for Humanity
project in conjunction with

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

One o^
Papadakis'
techniques to
encourage
whole-brain
thinking" was
CO allow
students co
play with toys
while brain-
storming
ideas for
projects or
solutions to
problems.

"My favorite are the farm animals and I think it is because of my desire to live
on a farm, " explained Dr. Maria Papadakis, surveying the Legos, building blocks,
Mr. Potato Head and other toys scattered throughout the room.

At first, students couldn't fit these things together. But students encountered
such a combination in the CISAT/Computer Science Building on weekday afternoons.
Papadakis, an associate professor in the College of Integrated Science and Technology,
taught Connections, a unique series of classes. The Connections curriculum
considered the social aspects and effects when developing and applying new technology.
Aspects of critical thinking and creative problem solving were also taught in the
course. One of Papadakis' techniques to encourage "whole-brain thinking " was to allow
students to play with toys while brainstorming ideas for projects or solutions to
problems. Describing herself as a "compulsive self-improvement reader" explained
the passion she passed along to her students. Emphasis was placed on real assign-
ments that students might encounter after graduation, such as ethical dilemmas.

Before her entrance into the ISAT program, Papadakis gained knowledge and
experience in a multitude of places. Her bachelor's and master's degrees are both in
the area of political science, along with her doctorate. By training, she was a political
economist who investigated the interactions between policy and economic markets
and the role of technology in the economy. These skills originated from the time
spent at the U.S. Embassy in Zimbabwe as the Acting Economic Officer, as an
assessment agent in the International Trade Commission, as a visiting scholar with the
National Science Foundation in Japan and teaching opportunities at the University
of Kentucky and Syracuse University. Even though she kept busy with her career,
she did the "woman-thing," as she called it; she married and raised a son.

Papadakis helped start the summer program in Malta for the ISAT program.
"For the abroad experience, the students need to piece together the science expertise
and the social implications," she said.

Students foimd it easy to approach Maria, what she preferred to be called, feeling
comfortable with her as she treated them on the same level. Being easy to talk to,
helpful and in-tune with real-life situations were traits her students admired. With
her enthusiasm and her genuine love for teaching, Papadakis said ISAT "absolutely "
held promise for the future. ■

"What I

lat i see as my most

important responsibility- is to

make sure ... we are doing things

the best way we possibly can."

» senior Guillermo Ubilla

"I am awake tor about 20 hours a day and I probably spend about 14 attending
meetings, doing work for die school or in some way doing something for a club I'm in."
On any given night, senior Guillermo Ubilla could usually be found in UREC,
meeting with one of his organizadons. Ubilla began the Rtinning Club at the tiniversity
and then went on to found the Fencing Club at the request of a friend. He then
attained a position on the Spons Club Council where he served as a liaison between
the imiversity and other organizations on campus. He ran all council and executive
meetings and prepared all the agendas, devoting all his efforts to the position.
"What I see as my most important responsibility is to make sure everyone is

working to their potential and we are doing things
the best way we possibly can," said Ubilla.

A computer science major, Ubilla grew up in
Sterling, Va. He had always been a sports fan,
especially of basketball, and had an interest in personal
improvement, specifically in the area of leadership.
"I love this school, and it has done so much
tor me. I love the opportunity to be able to give
something back," said Ubilla, who also served as
a Student Ambassador for a year. According to him, the people in the program were
the most amazing people he had met at school. "They have a passion, commitment
and spirit for this school that always lifts my own spirits."

For Ubilla, going to bed at 2 a.m. and getting up at 6 a.m was just a part of his
responsibility. However, Ubilla was not without assistance. Rick Larson, the assistant
vice president for student affairs, was a great influence on his work. "What gets me
most is that [Larson] always has a smile on his face. No matter how busy his day
is, he always takes the time to stop, shake my hand, ask how my day is going and
to see if I need anything," said Ubilla, adding that it's rare for administrators on
Larson's level to stop and ask if a student needed anything.

Ubilla planned to either stay at school for post-graduate studies or look for a
web-design job in the Washington, D.C., area. ■

"I find rescue

squad ver^'

reward iiii? in

that knowing

something

that I do

impacts

another in a

positive way."

>> senior

Abby Jones

Was it possible to cany a full courseload,
work 20 hours a week and maintain a 3.8
grade point average? Some said no. What
about if she also volunteered for the Harrison-
burg Rescue Squad 1 8 hours weekly? Most
said definitely not. Yet for senior Abby Jones
this was more truth than fiction.

For two-and-a-half years, Jones was a member of the rescue squad, which provided
911 response service to the city of Harrisonburg, JMU campus and parts of the sur-
rounding Rockingham County. Anytime someone dialed 911, the squad responded to
help with car accidents, fires, illnesses, cardiac arrests, falls, seiziu'es, and suicide attempts.

In order to become a member of the rescue squad, Jones, a psychology major,
had to complete 140 hours of classroom training to receive her Emergency Medical
Technician (EMT) certification, which is Basic Life Support (BL^) level. She recendy
received certification for Shock Trauma Technician (SIT) after 100 additional hours
of training to be an Advanced Life Suppon (ALS). She also took classes to learn to drive
an ambiJance and to be certified to give CPR.

In addition to her dedication to the rescue squad, she was also a tutor for troubled
children in the commimity. During her free time, Jones watched her three favorite
television shows: "Trauma," "ER and "Cops."

Why woiJd someone put so much time into volimteering? Jones said, " I find
rescue squad very rewarding in that knowing something that I do impacts another in a
positive way. In some small way, I may be able to help improve or change someone's life.
Sometimes it is not the big cases, but just helping an older lady who fell and broke her
hip, or comforting a patient who is terminally ill is most rewarding. I have found
that in giving a little of myself, I am the one who receives much more in the end."

Jones joined the squad in order to see if her dream of becoming a doctor was
feasible. "Rescue squad was a way to see if I could handle the trauma and blood
involved with each call, she said. Next year Jones will be attending the University of
Maryland medical school in hopes of being either and emergency room physician or a
doctor at a free clinic in an inner-city environment.

"Abby has been a great asset to the rescue squad for the past two-and-a-half years.
I am sorry to see her leave but I know she will succeed at the University of Marj'land,"
said rescue squad chief Tim Barb.

Fellow rescue squad member and second-year graduate student Kate Breitbeil
said, "Abby is very responsible and dependable, but her greatest quality is her rapport
with both patients and EMS personnel." ■

it was a bug s life

Chosen by faculty for her enthusiasm for biology and her eye for accuracy,
senior Amanda Anderson had the opportuniry to work closely with professors
doing research in entomology and morphology. In other words, she got to
play with bugs and salamanders.

"Burruss was my second home," said Anderson who literally camped
out in the academic building on more than one occasion.

After completing courses in research literature and techniques, she was
eligible to gain hands-on training and experience her junior year. She had
planned to assist Dr. Sharon Babcock with her investigation into the evolution
of tails in salamanders, but was switched to Dr. Christopher Rose's project
that dealt with finding the function of a rubbery protein located inside the
genitalia of water scorpions. Her ability to sculpt and draw complicated diagrams
of the internal organs of these tiny insects helped her land the position.

"1 didn't have intentions to do this for more than one semester," Anderson
revealed. "But 1 ended up doing it for over a year. It really fascinated me."
Anderson's responsibilities included collecting lab specimens in places
such as Lake Shenandoah and George Washington National Forest, and making
slides using those samples. She also spent an entire summer curating a collection
of over 1,000 insects in the basement of Burruss Hall.

Senior Stephen Durkee worked on the project with Anderson. The team
reported nearly rwo years of research at the Biology Sym-
posium and submitted their findings to a scientific journal
with hopes of getting published.

After spending sleepless nights in the basement of
Burruss with her eye glued to the eyepiece of a microscope
observing the sex life of bugs, perhaps the real downside
of her job was not being able to reap the benefits of a cup
of Joe. Dissecting insects that were only a couple milli-
meters wide with tools too small for even a Barbie doll,
required a set of steady hands. ■

I anatomyclass |-

We aJl heard the rumors. You were setthng into a class in Burruss Hall, when
someone behind you started telling their friend stories about cadavers being stored
in the basement.

For more than 30 years, JMU was one of few universities that allowed its under-
graduate students to take their interest of anatomy one step further: to study actual
human bodies. Few schools worked with cadavers because of a number of reasons.
"They are very expensive, it is difficult to obtain approval to use them, they are hard
to maintain, they are heavy to move around and they are expensive to cremate. It
is far easier to use smaller mammals, so most schools don't go through the trouble,"
said Dr. Norman E. Garrison, dean of the College of Science and Mathematics.
"However, we want to provide the best possible experience for our students, so we
are willing to go the extra mile. We have cadavers largely through the hard work and
persistence of Bob Graves, a former member of the biolog)' faculty. "

Twice each year, the college received between four and six cadavers, donated to
medical science by residents of Virginia, and students were quick to take advantage
of the opportunity. Each semester, 14 students enrolled in Biology 410, Advanced
Hiunan Anatomy, while about 470 students took the introduaory course, Biology 290.
Although the classes were within the biology department, only a few of the students
who enrolled were biolog)' majors. The vast majorit)' of students who enrolled were
kinesiology and health sciences majors who were required to take anatomy.

The type of anatomy taught was just as unique as the actual program. "Usually
in undergraduate schools they use systems-oriented anatomy, but we use regional-
anatomy," said Dr. Steven L. Keffer, assistant professor of biolog)'. System-based
anatomy studied each system of the body, such as the digestive, nervous and cardio-
vascular in their entiret)'. Regional anatomy looked at regions of the body, the chest
or abdomen, or head and neck, for example, and all of the systems in those regions.

The university also focused on teaching anatomy from an evolutionary perspective.
"We want to show why a system is the way it is, how it compares to those of other
venebrates, and how our anatomy has evolved," said Keffer. "We feel the evolutionary
perspective helps students to load up the massive amounts of information in anatomy
by giving them narratives with which to organize that information."

As you might imagine, working with cadavers caused some anxiety to the smdents
involved. The anatomy professors took extensive measures to ensure that their
stu-dents were comfortable with their studies. Professors discussed the issue with
their smdents beforehand and encouraged them to carefully and slowly become
acquainted with the idea, according to Keffer. Some students required a few weeks
to become comfortable looking at and being around the cadavers. "We try to be
gentle with people," commented Keffer. In addition, the cadavers, which were stored
in the class-rooms and covered with a layer of gauze and a plastic sheet, were not fully
imcovered during each class. The professors only revealed the particular area of the
body being studied at that time.

Overall, students were satisfied with their experiences in Biology 410 and Biology
290. "Going by the book isn't necessarily as helpful," said Lacey Hansen, a senior
communication sciences and disorders major. "When you have an actual body to work
on, to touch and maneuver, it makes it easier diu'ing the test to make the information
work in your mind."

Undergraduates had an advantage over students from many other schools by
having the opportunity to anatomically study actual human bodies. "Donation of
human remains to something like this is very special," said Keffer. "We're grateful to
the people who donated their bodies. We want to show the utmost respea to the remains
and we're very careful to do that at all times. " The bodies were kept for a maximum
of two years and then the remains were cremated and returned to the family. ■

Using a model of the human head to more
clearly understand the drawing in her book,
senior Mireille Priale points out a section of
the head to classmates junior Susan Iran and
senior Nathan Jenkins in Biology 4\ 0. Lab was
held twice a week and provided students with
hands-on experience. ■ Photo by Laura Greco

Video games: We were born with them, we have grown up with them and God RV

willing, we will die holding a joystick in our hand. We learned crucial math skills ^ JL, ^ ^/-ty-i^

jumping blocks placing Q-bert, got coundess hours of exercise on Nintendo's Power
Pad and learned about our own monality playing Frogger. As we grew older, the
games became more complicated, more entertaining, and against our parents" wishes,
much more expensive. Nintendo gave way to Super Nintendo, which eventually
gave us the ultimate Nintendo 64.

All the while our parents harped at us, "When will you ever grow out of these
infernal video games and go play outside?! " Relax parents, we know you asked these
quesdons out of spite toward a generation that did not have to entertain themselves
with a hula-hoop or a game of hopscotch.

Then there was college, where, also probably against our parents' wishes, the shon-
cuts in MarioKart were more known to us than the Bill of Rights, and Lara Croft,
the Tomb Raider, was ogled over as much as Jennifer Aniston. We did not grow out
of video games. In faa, we grew alongside the industry. In any given smdent's
residence hall you were certain to find the latest of what Nintendo 64, Sony
Playstation or Sega Dreamcast had to offer. For smdents, it offered them
an escape from the pressures of college life. "When I'm playing video
games, I'm not thinking about anything else. I'm in a zone. Video games
let me forget how much schoolwork sucks, said junior Jay Patel. For
college students, video games were a time to let loose, hang out with
friends and procrastinate, procrastinate, procrastinate.

SacUy, video games also took their toll on many students. Stories surfaced about
students who actually failed out of school and claimed the main reason it happened
was video games. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome was a constant threat to the avid video
game player. Many relationships also died thanks to these technological marvels.
"My boyfriend plays Grand Turismo II all the time. I never even get to see him
anymore," said junior Janna Bridgham, who wished she hadn't given the game to
her boyfriend as a Christmas gift.

But don't expect the video game to disappear from the coUege campus anytime
soon. It was as much a staple on the campus as the food at D-Hall. Two years ago
during the World Cup, a majority of British men polled said they would rather
watch the World Cup than have one night with the woman of their dreams. If you
posed a similar question to college males, they might prefer one more game of
Goldeneye than one night with their dream squeeze. ■

At first glance, junior Patrick Quentmeyer seemed quiet and shy. Not imtil he
started telling stories of his antics did he seem the tyjje to build a large wooden bar in
the living room of his Olde Mill Village apartment.

"I said to PaiJ, 'We need a bar, " said Quentmeyer about the reasoning behind
the centerpiece. "So, we just built it over Christmas and now we keep adding things."
The bar top was made with an interesting assortment of "junk" found in the
backs of drawers, according to Quentmeyer. Along with roommate junior Paul
Hajdasz, Quentmeyer colleaed objects ranging from old Matchbox cars to old campus
phone directories to beer caps. They placed the junk into a 3-inch inset on the bar
top and covered the materials with a mixture of chemicals that solidified into a plastic-
like substance. Once completed, the bar top was not only an artistic collection of
knickknacks, but also the topic of many conversations.

Along with the bar top, the rest of the bar, which had Killian's Red and Bud
Light on-tap, was decorated with old stop signs, license plates, bumper stickers, a neon
"Red Dog" sign and various other ornaments.

Yet Quentmeyer and his roommates were
not the only ones who took advantage of the bar.
"All these people come over," said Quentmeyer
sounding slighdy annoyed. "[During one party],
we had people waiting in the parking lot ... there
was a 45-minute wait to get in. People were crowd
surfing in the hallway. Fighting Gravity tried to
get in but the bouncer wouldn't let them. "

It was easy to imagine the amoimt of money
Quentmeyer and his roommates spent hosting
the party. "That night we went through six kegs
and 800 cups," he said. "We had four kegs
downstairs but we couldn't bring them up
because {continued on p. 272) »

» (continued fivm p. 271) there were so many people on the stairs."

Continuing the party theme was senior Wes Lindquist and his three roommates,
junior Jeremy Jackson and seniors Ryan Murray and Mo Bankar, who shared a Fox
Hill townhouse. They not only had a Kegerator (which Lindquist described as an
"end-less flow of beer,") in a doorless closet downstairs, but their upstairs loft was
plastered with over 100 ads for Absolut Vodka, a dart board and a large beer-pong
table. Down-stairs they had more than 100 empty alcohol bottles positioned on
shelves running around the living room.

"I think we all just kind of decided we were going to keep bottles at the end
of our sophomore year," said Lindquist. "So we started collecting them."

The roommates also managed to make creative use of damaged property, most
notably a broken closet door, known as "the quote door." "My roommate put a
hole in it," said Lindquist, "Nobody cared about ruining it, so we started putting
quotes on it." The door was covered with both random quotes and autographs from
visitors to the house.

Back in Olde Mill, senior Charlie Salahuddin preferred a more cultural and
artistic form of decoration for the apartment he shared with three roommates.
Salahuddin decorated the walls of the living room with Chinese art, tapestries from
India and 10 different African tribal masks from Nigeria, Tanzania and Madagascar.

"It's just something I liked," he said about the decision to buy the tribal masks
and to display them on his walls. "They're exotic and beautiful." Salahuddin also
knew some history about his prized possessions. "They're hand-crafted and hand-
painted from a single piece of wood. And they're used in tribal rituals."

While students chose to decorate in different manners ranging from building
a bar to embellishing rooms with foreign art, all of these forms of self-expression
had a common purpose. Decorating their surroundings made the students' time
at school seem more pleasant, and gave them some practice for decorating their own
homes after graduation. ■

Spending time together
as a family is important to
seniors Jon and Shana
Shrader. Both Jon and
Shana balanced work and
school so they could be
home with their son, Gavin,
as much as possible. ■

"You Start to realize
what stress is all about..
>y senior Jon Shrader

For most students, classes were their first priority, even if they didn't want them
to be. But for art history major Shana Shrader and her husband Jon, a computer
information systems major, family came first. Their two year old son, Gavin, kept
them on the run between classes, work, meetings and trips to the grocery store. The
two met through mutual friends at the university and decided to get married about
a year before their intended graduation. Jon, a transfer student from Blue Ridge
Community College, managed a full class schedule and work schedule while Shana
stayed with their son during the day. Only able to take one or two classes each semester,
Shana worked out her schedule so that Jon could be home when she was not. Although it
was taking the Shraders longer to graduate, they believed it was more imponant to stay
home with their son while he was young. Helping them with their responsibilities
was Jon's mother, who occasionally baby-sat Gavin. Although Shana was originally
from southern Virginia, and Jon fi'om Harrisonburg, the couple setded in Harrisonburg.

"You start to realize what stress is all about," said
Jon, who, along with Shana, hoped to graduate in
December 2000. Shana agreed and added that she had
to be a lot more cautious and was forced to always plan
ahead. Most students didn't aa differendy toward the
Shraders when they found out about Gavin, though
Shana recalled walking through the bookstore with him
and noticed that some students would second glance.
"You don't see many people with kids on campus, " Shana said, and added
that the glances did not bother her. The balance between family and school was a
great compromise on the Shrader's lives, but both Jon and Shana had no regrets. ■

at all football and basketball games. ■
Photo by Melissa Bates

At 6 p.m. on game day, the basketball coun in the Convocation Center filled with
the sounds of music blaring and feet stomping. The sounds were not the result of
enthusiastic fans but of the 25 dedicated women called the Dukettes. An hour-and-a-
half before game time was the only opponunity the dance team had to practice their
routine on the court before the basketball teams arrived. The women ran through their
routines several times before retiring to the sidelines to cheer for the team until
their halftime performance.

Each routine that was performed at halftime was practiced and perfected at the
team's daily practices. The two-hour practices began with a 20-minute group stretch,
followed by technique work on the difficult parts of each routine. The rest of practice
was spent polishing the routine to be performed that weekend.

The members of the team had a variety of dance experience, most having been
on high school dance teams or taken studio dance. Experience was not required,
however, just a desire to dance. "At tryouts the girls learn a combination vAth certain
jumps, leaps and turns. We don't look for perfection, but a potential to improve,"
said captain Jen Poore, a senior.

Besides practicing and performing at football and basketball games, the team
prepared for the national competition in Daytona Beach, Fla., held the second week
of April. Unlike previous years, the
Dukettes began preparing for the
competition in January and brought
in a choreographer to help with the
routine. Perfecting the routine at this
early stage allowed the team to stay
focused and prevented the need to
extend already strenuous practices in
order to perfect the performance.

"We wanted to prepare
ourselves and know the routine
solidly so that we can focus on
other things for the competition, "
said Poore. ■

"Wherever

you go, there

are needs and

people to

serve, so you

just bring

your best

and it tends

to work out

very well."

» Rev. John

Grace

In the comfortable den of the Catholic Campus Ministry
house, Rev. John Grace could ordinarily be found sharing
a laugh with students, shooting the breeze and recalling
stories of his early days in campus ministry. Those who
came to know him soon discovered there was more to learn
about this Catholic priest aside from the spiritual messages
in his weekly homilies.

Surprising to some, the call to serve God was preceded
by several odd jobs including a stint as a truck driver in the
tropical locales of the Hawaiian Islands. An interesting back-
ground and a special ability to connect to students made
him a visible and recognizable presence at the university.

Personable, understanding and involved, Grace was a
man whom students came to know as a friend and mentor through campus organi-
zations as well as CCM activities. "Father John is very easy to talk to. Its a little inti-
midating at first because of his title, but he's very friendly and he relates his homilies
in a way that you think he's speaking right to you. He's not just a Sunday priest, he's
real involved," said freshman Lori Bianchet.

An Irish descendant, Grace was born in New York not far from Yankee Stadium.
With a father in the U.S. Marine Corps, he spent most of his early life moving around,
constantly encountering new people and environments. It was during his college
years at St. Meinrad's, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in history, that he was
first attracted to the church and its services to the community.

"When I was in college, I was very involved with community development and
service activities at-large and off-campus. I went to a Catholic college so the idea of
spirituality was very much fostered and as a result, I grew up. I think I was blessed
with the experience of a lot of hands-on activity service to the commimity, coupled
with a spirituality and a sense of purpose in concert with God," said Grace.

"That sense of purpose in life to bring good was very strong with me. Were
very idealistic in college. You can go change the world and I saw church as being a
community that was very involved with social change," said Grace.

Grace was ordained in 1979 after receiving his master's degree in theology. He
served in parishes in Norfolk and Lynchburg, Va., before receiving the call from the
Diocese of Richmond in 1989 to lead the Catholic Campus Ministry at the university.
Twenty-two semesters later, Grace was the minister of CCM and also an adviser tor
the social fraternity Theta Chi. He presented spiritual programs to residence halls
on campus and served as the chaplain for the football team for a short time.

"I'm here to serve the church on campus, whoever might be able to use me or
be part of what CCM has to offer as well. If I can build up where students are, it's
to build toward good. I really enjoy working with students because it's exciting,
they have so much going for them. Education is discovering that," said Grace.

Helping students wresde with the big quesuons of life and discover their talents
allowed Grace to see students' movement away from high school into yoimg adulthood.
The possibilities for discovery and growth gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"I'm not sure what the future holds, but whatever happens will work out fine.
Wherever you go, there are needs and people to serve, so you just bring your best
and it tends to work out very well, " said Grace. ■

For most students, Harrisonburg was only a two- to three-hour
drive, but for three Norwegian students, Harrisonbiug was on the other
side of the world. Their reasons for fljing thousands of miles were two-
fold: education and soccer. As members of the men's soccer team, fresh-
man Lars Haslestad, sophomore Endre Sohus and junior Ade Rognerud
made commitments to their academics and the athletic department
leaving Norway behind and bringing their soccer skills to the States.
One might wonder how coach Tom Martin, in his 22nd season,
foimd and recruited international players, or more importandy how
they discovered JMU, a middle-sized school in the Eastern United States.
Martin credited the Intemet for much of the successful recruiting, allowing
communication to span the ocean.

Martin relied on his connections which played an important role in
recruiting, as in the case of jimior Niki Budalich from Kitchener, Ontario.
Budalich played soccer with a friend of coach Martin's who recommended him as a
great student-athlete. "We definitely look for guys who are strong academically and
are good athletes that can contribute to the team," said Martin. Budalich fulfilled
the coach's expectations as well as having his own expectations of the program met.
Budalich believed that soccer in the United States was more competitive and the
athletes were more talented.

Rognerud, from Lillestrom, Norway, transferred from South Alabama University
where he led the team in scoring. Sophomore John Ambridge from Egham, Surrey,
England, Rognerud's teammate at South Alabama, recommended him to coach Martin.
Rognerud was content with his decision and acknowledged the high level of competi-
tion and talented players in the United States. He noticed a slight difference in defensive
styles between Norwegian and American players in that the United States plays with

a sweeper, a more old fashioned defense. "JMU
is just as good as any team in Norway," said
Rognerud, but he believed that the coaching in
Norway was better at an early age where the
coaches were experienced and not just one of
the players' fathers.

Haslestad was also from Lillestrom and
compared soccer in the United States as being
relatively the same except he preferred the pre-
cision in American soccer with more positioning
that allowed players to have more control of
the ball. "Soccer is more organized in Norway; players here are better individually,
though," Haslestad said. To him, soccer and education were equal faaors in his deci-
sion to come to JMU. Haslestad explained that in Norway, there is no Unk between
sports and school; athletes play sports for clubs, not for the school. He also enjoyed
the experiences of traveling within the United States and the education he received.

Other international players on the men's soccer team included senior Ivar
Sigurjonsson, sophomore Seppo Jokisalo of Finland, and freshman Ben Munro of
England. According to Martin, the right international smdent could bring something
special to a college program, and with the team being led by these players, it is not
surprising to find them among the top six winningest NCAA Division I programs
of the 1990s. ■

"Living and loving it." If anyone was around Dr. Mark Warner, vice president for
student affairs, this idea emanated from him. Warner spread a positive message to all he
came in contact with in the JMU community. When a students entered his classroom,
they saw on the board "You make a difference." At home, he tried to help his two
daughters reach their full potential, striving for his number one goal, to be a good father.

Not only was Warner a professor of health sciences and an administrator, he
was also an alumnus. He received his undergraduate degree in 1979, his M.A. in
1981 and his Ed.S. in 1985. His father asked him several times, "When are you
going to graduate from JMU?"

Warner always answered with a laugh and said, "Never!" Warner said that as an
undergraduate, JMU gave him opportunities and skills that exceeded all his expec-
tations. Since then, he never had a reason to leave.

Warner lived near campus with his wife and two teenage daughters. He attributed
the recent purchase of his seventh mailbox to his proximity to campus. However,
he did not have to buy any more mailboxes, because Warner bought a new log cabin,
where he said he will spend time carving wood and working on more novels. Warner
published his first book, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Enhancing Self- Esteem."
He planned to base his next book on his profession, teaching. He talked to professors,
asking them specifically what they would choose as a topic for their last lecture. He
centered his novel on what he believed to be an important theme in life, "living
and loving it."

Among Warner's many goals was increasing diversity and the number of received
applications. He bet the admissions office that the university would receive 14,000
freshman applications and if he lost, he would have to serve cofi^ee and doughnuts
to the admissions staff wearing a hula skin. Warner saw himself being in higher edu-
cation from now imtil forever, moving from administration back to being a fiill-time
faculty member.

"Having Dr. Warner as a professor was a highlight of my college experience,"
said senior psychology major Patricia Kennelly. "He has made a difference in my
life and I hope there are many who are lucky enough to learn from him. " ■

Throughout her college career, Coleen Kreiger was
subconsciously preparing for the culmination of four years:
the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
During her reign, Kreiger acquired numerous awards and
recognition as an outstanding midfielder. She was named
to the All-South second team 1997, AU-CAA second team
1997 and 1998 and the CFHCA National Academic Squad
1997 and 1998. Kreiger was selected to attend the 1998
NCAA Leadership Conference and was an alternate on
the Under-21 National Team.

In her senior year alone, Kreiger was selected to the
National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-South first
team and earned All-CAA first team honors. The four-year
starter in midfield and nvo-time All-South selection lor the
Dukes scored a hat trick in the game against Appalachian
State leading the team to a shutout victor^' at home.

Kreiger, a kinesiology major with a concentration in
physical education, followed in her sister's footsteps by
coming to the universit)' to plav field hockey. Kelly Kreiger
was a 1996 All-America selection.

After being selected to represent JMU and the United
States as a member of the women's field hockey team,
Kreiger had to take her game to the next level. The fight
for a position on the team continued as Kreiger competed
against the nation's top field hockey players. Her attributes,
skills and imquestionable desire to be among the best field
hockey players in the nation earned her a spot on the 22-
member team before it was later cut to 18. The team com-
peted in an Olympic qualifying tournament from March
24-April 2 in England in which they needed a top-five
finish in the 10-team tournament to qualify for the 2000
Sydney Olympics. ■

"When the

again, I was

upset and

quickly

realized that

thing in life."

» sophomore

Charlie Hatter

As a senior at Stuarts Draft High School,
Charlie Hatter was a standout athlete in football,
basketball and baseball. He had just signed a
letter of intent to play basketball for JMU when
tragedy struck. Just before his senior basketball
season was about to begin, Hatter suffered an
injury to his shooting forearm, which was sup-
posed to be a career-ending injury.

During practice, when Hatter was chasing a
ball out-of-bounds, he put his shooting hand
throi^ a door window with chicken wire. Hatter
lacerated his ulnar nerve, which controls the
pinky, ring and middle fingers. He also tore three
tendons in his hand and wrist. After the accident,
Hatter had surgery in which he had several hun-
dred stitches and a brace molded to his forearm
that he had to wear for four months. After surgery,
the doaors told Hatter that he would have to red-
shirt his fteshman season and there was a chance he would never play basketball again.
"When the doctors told me that ... I was mad and upset, but Iquickly realized that sports
were not the only thing in life. I found other things to enjoy outside of sports."

Haner, now a sophomore, had to sit out his entire senior basketball and baseball
seasons rehabilitating his hand. "I went to Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville,
two or three times a week for physical therapy. I worked on rebuilding strength in my
hand with silly putty and light free weights." Hatter wore the molded brace and could
not use his hand until the end of his senior year of high school. He then slowly began to
use his hand to hold things and draw. "My physical therapy was really slow and frustrating.
I had a lot of pain and rehab but I knew I had to give it time to heal. Going through
this taught me a lot about patience." Finally able to use his right hand again in the
summer before going to college. Hatter started dribbling and shooting again. His ball
control and ability to catch quick passes was not the same as before the accident.

When Hatter's accident occurred, he had already signed to play basketball with
the Dukes. Men's head basketball coach Sherman Dillard was very understanding
and cooperative. "WTien I got hun, coach Dillard and the team were on a road trip in
Oregon. As soon as coach heard about my accident he came to visit me. He told me
not to worry about my scholarship, he would honor his promise."

During his red-shin season, Hatter was able to do everything with the team but
play in games. He practiced, lifted weights and traveled with the team and was glad to have
red-shirted. "It gave me a chance to learn the system and become a more mature player."

In his first year of play, Hatter, an off guard, still had no feeling in his pinky or
ring finger and probably never will. Hatter came off the bench and gave the Dukes help
in scoring from the perimeter. In retrospect Hatter said, "It was harder missing my
senior season of high school than it was missing my freshman year of college. My
senior season was supposed to put closure on my high school career and imfortunately
I did not get a chance to do that. " Despite missing his freshman year. Hatter had four
years of eligibility left and a lot to contribute to the basketball program in the fiiture. ■

As a result, Hatter red-
shirted his first year but
practiced, lifted weights
and traveled with the team.

Isa!

SalsaJ Over the last few years, the popularity of this music and dance under-
went dramatic growth. Traditionally a ballroom dance, salsa clubs sprang up
all over large cities, and the dance gained the interest of people all over the
world. The popularity of salsa on campus was no different.

In early spring, UREC began offering salsa dance classes to anyone at
the university. The response was astounding. Within a short time, the six-week
class was full, with 48 participants and another 10 on a waiting list.

"UREC began offering it because it's popular now, ' said Karen Calloway,
the salsa instructor, who also taught dance at the Danon Learning Center.
"They're doing swing classes too. They just picked something that a lot of
people were doing and the music is very popular too. "

Walking into the dance studio on the second day of class, you could in
no way underestimate the popularity of the dance form at the university. With
salsa music blasting from the speakers, students and a few professors dressed
in jeans or spandex crowded around the room. As would be expected, there
were more women than men, so a few of the women had to dance the male
pan with their female partners. As for the men who did participate, most looked
as if they had been dragged to UREC against their will.

"I brought [the class] up [in a conversation] and he said he wanted to do
it, " said junior accounting major Melissa Rotter about her dance partner,
Hayden Barnard.

Yet, the senior management major had a different story to tell. "I wanted
to make her happy, " he said, "because I don t know how to dance. '

Class was ready to begin. "We're going to go over what we did last week. "
said Calloway as she turned off the stereo. The students stood in a circle around
her awaiting instruction. She began reciting and demonstrating the steps,
"All right, forward, close, back and close."

Uncertain giggles and chatter echoed around the studio as the students
tried their best to mimic Calloway's movements.

Then the class embarked into some uncharted territory ... new dance steps.
"Okay, quick quick turn, quick quick turn, " said Calloway, going through the
steps with an assistant. "Now, do that one on your own a couple of times and
let me watch you."

"Anybody over here need help? " Calloway asked pointing toward the right
side of the studio. Her question was answered by a few giggles but mosdy silence.

Some students already knew the basics of salsa dancing. "I go dancing
with my parents all the time," said sophomore kinesiology major Tasha
Mainvielle. "I just wanted to get the real backbone instead of the club style."

Other students were completely new to it. Juan Kuilan, a freshman health
sciences major, took the class to get stamps on his health class passport, but
with hopes of learning salsa.

No matter what their dance level, the participants came away from the
class with new friends and a greater appreciation for dance. ■

"Whenever I
start to think
that I can't
handle some-
thing, I say to
myself that
I beat cancer
and that this is
nothing com-
pared to that."
» sophomore
Holly Griffin

when Holly Griffin walked into her doctor's ofFice for
the required pre-college physical, she wasn't expecting the
diagnosis she received, hi May of her senior year in high school,
a doctor found a lump in her neck during the routine exam-
ination. "She also made a note that I had lost 10 pounds
in the last two months, " said Griffin. "I, of course, wasn't
complaining, because no one is going to complain about
losing 10 pounds."

After taking a chest X-ray, the doctor sent her home
and Griffin thought she was fine. Two days later, immediately
after her prom, her father told her the news that her X-ray
was abnormal. She was warned of the possibility of cancer. She had the limip removed
and was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. After a series of tests to determine how severe
the disease was, Griffin was fitted with a medi-port, a chest catheter that delivered
chemotherapy treatment.

"Five days after receiving my medi-pon, my friend and I went to Busch Gardens
for one last day of carefree fun. My treatment required me to have chemo every two
weeks for six months ... meaning 1 had to miss my first semester here, " said Griffin.

Griffin went to orientation over the summer but didn't officially enroll in classes
at the university until January 1999. Starting college was hard enough for healthy
students, but for Griffin the experience was scary. "1 was mostly bald. I didn't lose
all my hair — just about 80 percent — which was even stranger than just being bald! "
Griffin was afraid of how people would react to her altered appearance but found
that they surprised her with their friendliness. In fact. Griffin found that the people
in Garber Hall made her transition easier. "They helped me to understand all sorts
of htde things at JMU, like when someone at Duke's says, 'dining' that means
'dining dollars' and not, 'are you eating here? " said Griffin.

Griffin credited her friends and sense of humor with helping her to get through
her batde with the disease. During the first months of her illness. Griffin was stuck at
home because of her dependence on daily shots from her doctor. "I joked about how I
was on the ultimate diet, not eating anything solid for a week, then eating whatever I
wanted the next week in order to make up for the weight I had lost, and I was still imder-
weight. " Every other weekend. Griffin was given a break from the shots. During her
free days she made road trips where she could be "around young people again."

In the fall of 1999, Griffin joined Delta Delta Delta. "One thing I really enjoy
about them is that their philanthropy is children's cancer charities."

Griffin was happy just to have made it to school, and she didn't take college life
for granted. "I love everything about JMU. Getting here was an obstacle for me,
and it was what I focused on while 1 was sick," said Griffin.

Griffin had been in remission since Dec. 21,1998. Routine tests were still re-
quired but fortunately they could be scheduled over winter, spring and summer breaks.
After five years of remission. Griffin would be officially "cured."

Now celebrating a "second birthday," Griffin was grateful for her second chance at
life. "Whenever I start to think that I can't handle something, I say to myself that I
beat cancer and that this is nothing compared to that. I had to grow up much faster
than I should have and had to deal with things that no one should have to, but I
learned how incredibly strong I am. There is nothing I can't do or handle." ■

Having overcome unique
obstacles, sophomore Holly
Griffin doesn't take being a
Duke for granted. Diagnosed
with Hodgkin's disease in
IVlay of her senior year of
high school, Griffin missed
her first semester of college.

universityprogramboard I-

It was 8:25 and the band still wasn't ready to take the stage. Surveying the packed
Convocation Center, UPB musical events coordinator Brett McNamara, a junior,
looked anxiously at the frenzied fans in the audience. Last-minute preparations con-
tinued before his eyes. The security guards took their positions along the front of the
stage where eager concert-goers gathered in hopes of reaching out to touch a star. As
technicians performed their sound checks, members of the crew moved the remaining
instruments and props onto the stage. Suddenly, through a walkie-talkie cime the words
he was waiting for: "It's showtime," said the voice through the static reception.

Bringing events to campus was never an easy process. As one of the bluest smdent
organizations on campus and having the largest budget, UPB had hundreds of details
to work out to ensure the success ot an event betore it actually came to campus.

After polling the student body, UPB members narrowed down the choices while
considering what events would sell and who was affordable. Concert resource magazines
like POLSTAR provided touring and agent information while middle agencies such as
Cellar Door connected the UPB directors to artist representatives to express interest in
bringing them to campus. "Our representative from Cellar Door, Mike Jones, talks to
the booking agencies, finds out their touring information and acts as the middleman
between the artist's people and us to make sure everything's cool," said McNamara.

After agreeing on a number of anists, UPB directors then drew up proposals and
submitted them before the board for approval. If the proposal passed, UPB submitted a
bid to the artist's agent with the specific price, date and performance information.

Securing an event was not without difficiJties. Issues of money, venue availability
and touring schedules often prevented events from happening despite the best efforts
of the board members. "One of the bluest deterrents as far as bringing entertainment to
campus is our venues. It's not just the type and style of the venues but the capacity
and the limited amount of time we're offered to book those venues," said alumnus
Chris Stup, the student organization's coordinator.

When bids were accepted, event coordinators began planning for the show
immediately. The hospitalit)' committee took care of the items in the artists' contract
that pertained to the artists' comfort such as buying food and dressing room items
and booking hotels. The advertising team started the preconcert buzz by circulating
publicity and ticket information. "Hospitality takes care of the artists' contracts. And
by having good facilities and good food, we get a good reputation that precedes our
name," said senior Marty Anderson, director of hospitality.

On the day of show, volunteers from UPB committees helped load equipment
and prepare food and dressing rooms while board members made sure all the details
were taken care of throughout the night. After an event, UPB members had the satis-
faction of knowing they had successfully put a production together.

Days later, the event was little more than a fond memory to students, but to
the members of University Program Board, the show was a symbol of achievement
that had been the result of hours of hard work and dedication "It can be a rewarding
job," said senior Brad Pool, director of comedy/novelty. "The exciting thing is that
you're in charge of bringing talent to campus. You've seen the people you're bringing
here on TV before, and it's great to be the one who gets them here." ■

"Children, not materials or methods, should be at the heart of the curriculum, "
said Dr. Gail Fox, an early childhood professor who has devoted her life to the edu-
cation of young children.

A prominent member of the education department, Fox was not always a resident
of Harrisonburg. Her desire to become a facilitator to children was instilled in her
throughout her childhood in New England. Several special experiences there, such
as summer camps, mtoring and babysitting, all influenced her in the decision to teach.
Graduating from Chatham College with a major in psychology and a minor in educa-
tion. Fox then pursued her master's of education in reading from JMU and completed
course work in reading education at the University of Virginia. She discovered a dire
love for children's literamre and soon made it her goal to educate children in literacy.
Fox arrived at the university in 1 989 and taught Rill time in the early childhood
program in literacy since 1992. Her constant encouragement, enthusiasm and bene-
volence during that time made smdents' learning experiences inspiring and enjoyable.
Each day she enthusiastically welcomed everyone with a warm, inviting smile
and enlightened her students with daily humor. Junior Kara Moriarty said, "She

makes me laugh and reads us stories like we're
little kids again which is so refreshing in college."
Fox's friendly, spirited nature not only inspired
students to attend every class, but it provided a
perfea learning atmosphere. She was an extremely
knowledgeable professor who successfully instilled
her wisdom in those students striving to achieve
their teacher's license.

"This past semester with Dr. Fox has taught
me so much and I am only more reassured of my
desire to want to teach," said junior Jessica Dodd.

Fox truly touched the hearts and minds of many of her students during her
teaching years and brought many individuals to life with her relentless vivacity and
support. Niunerous students testified to how fortimate they were to have been taught
by such a wise, stimulating individual. Her love for children and the self-gratification
she experienced while teaching them inspired smdents to new levels and oiJy strengthened
their desire to follow in her footsteps. ■

290 Classes ■ New & Improv.'d

-I new&improv.'d |-

If you asked Drew Carey the question, "Whose line is it anyway?" he'd probably
^ve you a few harsh lines of his own. Likewise, if you asked the cast of New &C Improv.'d,
I comedic improvisational group, that exact question, they'd probably do the same
-hing — maybe improvising a bit though.

Founded in the winter of 1998 by senior and president of the group, Alicia
rieinemann. New & Improv.'d took pride in the fact that they were not established
jased on the popular television show, "Whose Line is it Anyway?, " which also featured a
/ariety of improvisational acts. Ironically, the group's T-shirts displayed their slogan:
'Like before, only funny, " but it wasn't until the spring of 1999 that the group was
clnally recognized on campus.

"I've always had an interest in comedic improv, especially bringing it to JMU
since there was nothing really like it here, " said fieinemann whose interest led to
die development of a very imique organization. Originally made up of five members,
the group worked together for a month until they opened auditions to the public in
Taylor Hall. Holding auditions on Sept. 12, in which about 25 people tried out,
the group increased its membership to 1 1, three of whom were seniors and the rest
were freshmen and sophomores. Some members had either acting or musical experience,
ibut others just wanted the opportunity to have fiin with improv. Senior Sam Taliaferro's
experience came from observation as he said, "1 interned at Disney where I was able
to see a lot of improv groups in the evenings. "

Students were able to see New & Improv.'d perform at venues throughout
Harrisonburg, including Hanson Hall, Taylor Down Under, the Artful Dodger and
a church to which member Bill Howard, the group's business manager, belonged.
New & Improv.'d incorporated their own games into their shows, as well as adapting
and modifying games from other comedic improvisational groups. Practicing once
or twice a week for two hours at a time, the group members interacted with each
lother as if they'd known each other their whole lives. Showing their interactive skills
in a game called "Death by ... , " group members divided into three teams with two
people per team. One team challenged another team to die by means of a certain
object, no matter how obscure the object was. The more creative the objects were,
the more challenging it was for the other team find a way to die by means of that
objea. One team suggested "death by macaroni" whereupon a member of the opposing
group killed his teammate in an attempt to hoard the delicious macaroni for himself
' Other games entided "Pan Left, Pan Right, " "Every Other Line" and "Shoulda

I , Said" relied on a moderator, a person who started the scenes with an idea or prompt.
P The actors then reacted to the moderator's cues while feeding off each other, but
they tried to stay within the game's rules. In the game "ShoiJda Said," the moderator
set up a scene for two of the actors to play out, but after one of the actors delivered a
line, the moderator shouted "Shoulda Said!" and the actor had to quickly come up
with a new line. Eventually the actors strayed from the original scene and found
themselves in a hilariously random dialogue until the moderator finally ended the
game among the crowd's laughter.

New & Improv.'d held a workshop on Feb. 2 to prepare for their auchtions on
Feb. 6. Their show, the Improv Bowl, occurred Feb. 26 at Taylor Down Under and
featured the group which was divided into two teams competing against each other.
The audience served as the judge in the competition and the only predictable moment
of the show came at the end of the two-hour barrage of improvisation when the
crowd applauded having been truly entertained. ■

together."
» sophomore
Sarah Rainey

While most siblings would admit they loved their brother or sister, few could
say they enjoyed each other's company as much as sophomores Chrissy and Sarah
Rainey. The Raineys not only shared a school, a room, a major and friends, but also
their looks. With the same blonde hair and blue eyes, the twins not only appeared
to be identical but also to be best friends.

As high school seniors in Milford, Conn., the Raineys ended up applying to the
same schools. "My mom always wanted us to go to the same college, and we both
really liked JMU," said Chrissy. But for their first semester, they decided to room
separately to meet new people. After 16 weeks, the twins decided it was much easier to
live with each other, since they spent most of their time together and became friends
with the same people. Both twins were ISAT majors. "We have the same ISAT classes
this semester and find it's very helpfiil being together so we can do homework and
study together, " Sarah said.

The Raineys were also very involved in the Club Tennis team. In keeping with
the identical theme, Chrissy and Sarah played doubles together. "I always play one
side of the court and Sarah always serves first, " said Chrissy. "At a tournament at
UNC, we ended up playing doubles against another set of twins."

As would be expected, the twins were often mistaken for each other. "Professors
mix us up at the beginning of the semester, but later they can tell us apart," said
Chrissy. "We never really wanted to switch places ... but we did play a good April
Fools' Day joke in fifth grade," Chrissy said. Chrissy dressed in one of Sarah's
characteristic outfits but went to her own classes. "Everyone thought we had
switched, but we hadn't, so the joke was on them," laughed Chrissy.

Even though they were always finishing each other's sentences, the twins did
have differences. The main physical difference was Sarah's birthmark on her left
cheek. As to their personalities, friends could definitely tell who was who. But as
all siblings do, the twins fought over what they thought distinguished themselves
from the other. "Sarah says she's older, but my response is always that I'm taller,"
said Chrissy. ■

Twins Chrissy and Sarah
Rainey share more than
their genes. In addition to
living together in Converse
Hall, the sisters are also
ISAT majors and on the
Club Tennis team. ■ Photo

OWER

Geoffrey Morley-Mower
scooted on his motorbike past the
throngs of students on the crowded
campus walkways as he did each
and every day. As he flew toward
the classrooms of Keezell Hall, stu-
dents familiar with his background
as a wing commander in the Royal
Air Force could envision the popu-
lar professor guiding one of his P-5 1
Mustangs in much the same way
through the dangerous skies of
Europe during World War II.

A distinctive English accent identified Morley-Mower s country of origin, a born
and bred Londoner from the township of Ealing. At. the onset of World War II, at
orJy 20 years old, he joined the air force, beginning a career in aviation that would last
31 years. Photographs of his early flights over the rugged mountainous regions of
northern India and the red sands of Western Australia hang in his office amidst pictures
of warplanes recalling his aviator days.

Morley-Mower eventually made his way to the United States, filling a British
military seat at the Pentagon. "We hadn't been here more than a year when I decided,
by God, I want to stay in this countr)' and bring up my children here," he said.

After obtaining his master's degree from Catholic University, he applied for
several university teaching positions and found himself at Madison College, a professor
of English literature. "1 led a happy life in the air force, but I think life at JMU has been
the happiest. I get to do what I love because I'm mad about English literatiu'e, and I
think American students are the nicest people in the world, " he said.

Having served for 20 years as the faculty adviser for the Catholic Campus Ministry,
Morley-Mower now devoted much of his spare moments to his passions: reading,
writing and golfmg. In 1993, his first book, "Messerscmitt Roulette, " was published
detailing his advennires as a fighter/ reconnaissance pilot with an Australian squadron in
North Africa from 1941-42. His next writing venture, "Flying BUnd," due in the
year 2000, was, in his own words, "about the joy of flying, the intoxicating and
dangerous freedom to move through the blue air in three directions at once."

"I'm having a creative old age. I suppose when you're not rushing around so
much, it's easier to sit down and write, " he said of his extracurricular activities. "Nothing
to me is working, because my interest is in what I teach. I love getting in front of
the class and trying to teach the glories of the English language to my students. At
the moment I'm not doing anything I don't love doing, " he said.

Pilot, poet, golfer, author, teacher, father and husband, 81 -year-old Renaissance
man Morley-Mower claimed to love a great many things in life but none so much
as the institution of marriage and his wife of 27 years, Mary. "I've had two extremely
happy marriages, and so has she, and we can't conceive of what an unhappy marriage
is like. What the hell do people do to get unhappy in this paradise on earth called
marriage.' The only unhappiness is not having someone to love. " ■

Having been born and
raised in London, professor
of English Geoffrey Morley-
Mower takes advantage of
his spare time to read,
write and play golf. In his
classes, Morley-Mower
often spoke of his past
experiences as a member
of the Royal Air Force
during World War II. ■

"What we

propose

would be, to

the best of our

knowledge,

one of the

earliest

comprehensive

undergraduate

degree

programs in

the country."

» Dr. Ken

Williamson

In the world of fast-paced techno-
logy, the university prepared their stu-
dents for the future. Faculty members
of the College of Business, CISAT and
the School of Media Arts and Design
proposed a four year Bachelor's of Sci-
ence program in electronic commerce
to the State Council for Higher Educa-
tion in the tall.

"The program we propose is expressly
designed and intended to equip its
graduates with the knowledge base and the blend ot business and technical skills
to launch themselves very successfully into a professional workplace that is being
drastically reshaped on virtually a daily basis by information technology and its
enablement of e-commerce, " stated Dr. Ken Williamson, a marketing professor,
and member of the team that designed the e-commerce program. Unfortunately,
Gov. James Gilmore's proposed budget submitted to the legislature during winter
1999 did not include the funds for the upcoming major. The program was placed
on the back burner, but was not written off.

The failure to implement the new major did not deny the need for the training
of students in the field. "What we propose would be, to the best of our knowledge,
one of the earliest comprehensive undergraduate degree programs in the country,"
commented Williamson. In fact one of the "Big Five" accounting firms informed
Williamson that they alone would hire all 200 graduates per year that were forecasted
to be turned out.

If the program passed, 200 graduates a year would benefit from comprehensive
training in one of the fastest growing industries in the business world. Students would
broaden their knowledge of "the application of information technology to commercial
processes, producing the phenomenon we call e-commerce that is creating an unprece-
dented explosion in entrepreneurial energy and activity 3S manifested in new venture
creation, and surfacing exciting new business ideas and models, " said Williamson.

In the mean time students continued to learn more about the e-commerce
phenomenon as a part of the curriculum in several of their courses in the College
of Business and in CISAT.

Although, the e-commerce program hit a minor roadblock, it was still a dream
that was being actively pursued by many members of the College of Business, CISAT
and School of Media Arts and Design. "Obviously I believe it would be an enormous
disappointment and disservice for students, for the organizations recruiting and
hiring our graduates and for interested faculty if JMU is compelled to lose that
opportunity," said Williamson. ■

virus, the new industrial
revolution in America. The

Students for Camp Heartland strived to raise money to send as many children
as possible whose lives have been affected by the AIDS virus to camp each year.

Camp Heartland offered children a week of fiin where they could be themselves
without worrying what others thought. The cost of sending one child to camp for
a week was $1250. Camp Heartland funded the trip for every camper.

The organization began at the university in 1994 by Jen Robbins, who was a
JMU student at the time. Camp Heanland was a national organization and received
support form several college chapters nationwide. Through concerts, movies and
other activities where donations were collected, the campus chapter became the
leading college chapter in donations to the national organization.

The goal of the organization was to raise awareness about AIDS. Each year a
section of the AIDS quilt was brought to the university, offering an opportunity
for the entire community to join and learn about those affected.

In 1997 students created a panel to add to the quilt in memory of those who
have died from the disease. "The panel we created gave students a chance to join
together for something they believe in," said co-president Maureen Odenwelder,
J senior. "People think it can't happen to them and we want to show them they
need to be careful," she said.

A campheartland I-

The main event of the year was the Journey of Hope tour. The tour was a national
event, bringing children whose lives have been in some way affected by AIDS across
the country to talk to others about their experiences.

"I think it really makes people realize how serious the disease is," said co-president
Jen Mattison, a senior. "Often times people don't understand it until it is right in
front of their eyes."

It was the sixth year the Journey of Hope tour stopped at the university. Four
campers, ages 8-16, joined founder of Camp Heartland Neil Willenson to talk about
the virus and their personal experiences with it. The campers spoke to a fliU crowd
in Grafton-Stovall Theatre at a two-hour assembly, warning them of the dangers of
the virus and telling them not to be afraid of those with the disease.

ABC's "20/20," as well as local news crews, came to film the event and interview
members of Students for Camp Heartland.

All the funds raised by the campus organization were donated to Camp Heardand.
The students therefore relied on outside fimding and donations to run the events.

"It's difficidt sometimes, but for the most part, JMU has been very supportive, "
said Odenwelder. "UPB and local businesses have helped many times, and SGA
was a major supporter for the Journey of Hope tour this year." ■

Ben Tbmko

Taking his usual route to the Music
Building on a t)'pical school day, fresh-
man Ben Tomko paid close anendon to
the sounds surrounding him. A sumu-
lating orchestra of noise from the crunch
of pebbles underfoot to the laughter and
voices of fellow students charting on
their way to class filled his ears with every step as he walked the familiar path to class.

Although born an artist wdth a special ear for music, his highly developed sense of
hearing came as a result of a life-changing event during his high school years. After dis-
covering the presence of a brain tumor called Pilocytic Astrocytoma, doctors removed the
benign growth to save his life v\ith imtortunate consequences. The operadon caused Tomko
to lose most of his sight, casting him into virtual darkness.

Not about to let his visual handicap deter him from his dreams, Tomko made plans
to attend college and study music. "When I came to JMU, I noticed the congeniality
of the campus. And I know it doesn't play a huge role, but the first day I visited, it was a
bright and sunny day and every first visit at other college campuses was cloudy and
rainy and that made a world of difference, " he said.

With his right eye a filter for light and dark, and his left eye having peripheral capa-
bilities only, Tomko's other senses had to compensate for his lost sight. "I have extra
sensory perception as a result. I have tremendous hearing and a really strong memory.
All my school books are on audio cassette so I have to listen and remember what's said
cause I cant read my own handwriting. Sometimes I tape class lectures and sometimes
I just Hsten to see what I consume," said Tomko.

An important consideradon in choosing a school came not only in what programs
they offered in his area of interest but what kind of services they could provide to accommo-
date his disability. "When they found I had a vision problem that they needed to tend
to, they gave me all kinds of Office of Disabilities information. They got me in the
closest dorm to the Quad so I could get to my classes quicker, they gave me a handicap
dorm room, I get to schedule ahead of seniors and I have my choice of where I want
to live the rest of the time I'm here."

With the help of a vision counselor, Tomko was able to obtain his schedule early
and map out each of his classes, memorizing a daily route. In less than two weeks, Tomko
knew the sounds, smells and different environments of campus like the back of his hand.
"I know where all of the big buildings are but new buildings are kind of a challenge.
When someone tells me they live in a dorm I've never been to, that's going to be kind
of interesting gening there," he chuckled.

Quickly assimiladng to campus and making friends was no sweat for Tomko, a self-
proclaimed "people person." A music and theater background quickly attracted him to the
likes of the Swing Club, the JMU Chorale and the all-male a cappella group The
Madison Project. Pledging to do what he coidd for future handicapped students, he also
served on the board for su^estions, giving input about the needs of disabled students.

"If you saw me looking around you probably wouldn t know that I have a sight prob-
lem. There are a lot of things I can't do but there are probably more things that I can
and anything I can do, I want to do. I want to enjoy my independence as much as any
other college freshman. Anything I can do during my years of college to help any fiiture
blind students, I am ready and willing to put my best toot forward, " he said. ■

facuttyprofile |-

Spelling out his last name
with students, School of
Art and Art History pro-
fessor Bill Tate leads his
Design Drafting class in an
exploration of creativity
across the stage of Latimer-
Shaeffer Theatre in Duke
Hall. An architect, Tate
taught interior design and
industrial design classes as
well as art history. ■ Photo
by Carlton Wolfe

He used the words meaning, culture and symbol when talking about the subject
he taught. "It is the voice of the people, and understanding it is vital to society, "
said professor William Tate.

His riddle was difficult to decipher, but walking to classes most students noticed
it. Whether outdoors or inside, no one could escape it. If you were on the Quad, it
was mosdy composed of bluestone, sturdy white columns and large, arched windows,
creating the "university" look. It is, of course, architecture, what was built to make
the spaces in which we lived.

Architecttire involved the "creative process" that Tate described as both fascinating
and holy. To tap into the process students did not need to be geniuses according to
Tate. Creativity could be cultivated, and it took perseverance, risk and plunging
into the unknown, he said.

Studying architecture involved studying culture. Tate saw an illness in our
"efficiency culture" that was affecting our souls when he looked at the way Americans
built their world aroimd them. To illustrate his point, he quoted Winston Churchill:
"First we shape our spaces, then they shape us."

Tate's rich history with architecture included getting his master's from the Uni-
versity of Virginia, working with small design firms in Charlotte, N.C., and Williams-
burg, Va., and apprenticing and teaching at Lafayette University in Louisiana before
remrning to his native state of Virginia to teach. Perhaps his most intriguing experience
was working with architect Ricardo Legorreta in Mexico City. Legorreta was "one
of the worlds best, " said Tate. Legorreta brought what Tate referred to as the "poetic
element into the hotels, corporations and resorts he designed.

Tate, at the university since 1993, taught and practiced architecmre. He described
teaching interior architecture and design as not "a course in learning how to arrange
furniture, " but rather learning how to "make space that affirms what one is doing."

Furthermore, Tate spent five weeks in Vienna with about
20 students every other summer. These trips provided some
of his most memorable times with students. In Vienna he
foimd the essence of his ideas were alive, and that his students,
"rediscover what a street can be." "Americans don't know
what a street is."

Vienna was where he, "cultivated a sense of being" by
sitting in monastic chapels and Viennese cafes. He referred
to Vienna as a "cafe culture" where one can "learn to waste
time." The attunement to detail in Viennese work and con-
versations with architects there, combined with all their experiences, made it diffi-
cult to return to the States. Students created a book of writings, illustrations and
photos after each trip.

Along with teaching, Tate owned his own firm in Staunton, Va., named de nada. It
was a small firm that was not specialized but rather networked and collaborated as
the projects demanded. He recently worked on a theater and design competitions.

While his practice kept his creativity from rusting, teaching was an experience of
discovery that Tate shared with his smdents. Beyond discovery he hoped to ignite their
interest in architecture. "The passion must be passed on to the next genetarion," he said. ■

Tite described
his inKrior
design and
architEctuie
classes not as
"a course in
learning how
to arrange
furniture," but
rather, learning
how to "make
space that
affirms what
one is doing."

Annid drafting tables,
tracing paper and Rapido-
graph pens, professor Bill
Tate encourages his stu-
dents to take risks with
their art. Despite any
initial trouble with Tate's
more abstract way of
teaching, students soon
welcomed his challenges,
forcing them to grow in
their creativity and skills.

for the climb up the climbing wall in the
UREC atrium as junior Jason DiCarlo looks
on. The indoor wall was an ideal place to
practice the techniques used on real moun-
tains. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid

A girl struggled to cling to the
ru^ed, slippery surface beneath her,
as her feet dangled in mid-air. A quick glance
down revealed far-away faces eyeing her expec-
tantly. The girl was determined to succeed.

"Don't fall down!" yelled a voice from the
safety of the second floor. A new climber was
on her way to the top, despite the distractions
of her lellow students working out upstairs.

While often gazing up at the picturesque
mountains that enclose the Shenandoah Valley, few students had the opportunity to
learn the skills involved in scaling a mountain. UREC's climbing school, a relatively
recent addition to the center's adventure program, was taught by knowledgeable
and experienced student rock climbers.

Divided into approximately 22 sessions, the program cost $8 and included class-
room and indoor wall instruction. Potential climbers required a partner to belay
them, or monitor their safety harness and cord. However, first-time climbers had the
option of requesting an instructor to serve as their partner during a "first climb."
Climbers who had already taken a wall competency test, which covered the basics
of repelling and climbing, or the boulder competency test, which covered safe ground
climbing technique, could reserve blocks of time for climbing at any time. Both
competency tests had written and demonstration sections. The program also had
three skill levels, ranging from beginner to experienced. All levels had the opportimity
to learn new techniques or refine their skills in Advanced Technique Clinics through-
out the semester. For the climber who had mastered the indoor wall, UREC also
offered outdoor trips where students could encounter the "real thing. "

Junior Jason DiCarlo, a climbing school student, had already been outdoor
climbing in Colorado and Virginia, but wanted to continue his pursuit of the "chal-
lenge" in an indoor venue. "The UREC wall and climbing program offer some of
the best indoor climbing. Where else can you safely climb a realistic 30-foot cliff
any time of the year and with a limited climbing background?" said DiCarlo.

Another fellow UREC climber, senior Jamie Mackie, had more personal reasons
for attending the climbing school. "I did it because I'm scared of heights. I thought
it might help me overcome my fear, knowing that even if I fall, I'm safe," said Mackie.

DiCarlo had specific goals in mind for his life after the program. "My amigos
and I plan on climbing every week so that we can tackle some mammoth mountains
out west."

No matter what their intention, the UREC climbing program's only requirement
was a desire to climb. Any student, with any skill or fitness level, was welcome to try
their hand at the wall. ■

"Teaching

atJMU

has been

delightfiil;

it's as if I

never left:

college."

• Dr. James

Butler

As students entered the classroom of Dr. James Buder
for the first time, some thought they had walked into
the wrong room. The dimly lit auditorium featured a
movie screen displaying the words, "Good morning." Music
began to fill the room as students realized they were in for
a treat. "I've been at JMU for 800 years," said Buder, with
a broad smile, who estimated he had taught psychology'
to 30,700 students. His kindly face and gentle demeanor
sometimes hid his dry sense ot humor that he expressed
often in class.

Perhaps it was how he intertwined personal experiences in class that made it
enjoyable to sit through and even worth crossing South Main Street to Anthony-
Seeger Hall. Butler's teaching style developed over the years as technological tools
became more advanced. Reflecting on things he did fcfr class in the past, he described
them as "pitifiil." Initially he spent about 60 hours putting together a single class
presentation, but then was able to make necessary adjustments easily. "I make the
class the way I would personally like it presented to me, " said Butler, who realized
not all students liked his teaching style.

Although Butler admitted to sometimes repeating the same stories in the three
GPSY classes he taught, he enjoyed telling his favorite stories over and over again.
"When you find something that is received well, you tend to repeat it," said Butler.
"Through the years you collect things in your mind." Buder also liked the large class
size, which he found more exciting, because everyone was there for the context of the class.

During class, Butler sat on stage at a lectern, clicking his "sometimes-possessed"
mouse through the course material, which included interesting facts, pictures from
his trip to Freud's home in Vienna, Austria, and even a picture from his wedding
day. He drew on his experiences from his previous job as a clinical psychologist, which
he said was "kind of dull." Although he had a number of interesting experiences,
Butler knew he did not want to be a psychologist forever.

In his first job at medical school, Buder did not enjoy the "business-like" environ-
ment where he found it more practical than academic. He knew when he began
teaching that it was what he wanted to do tor the rest of his life. He felt privileged
to have the "opportunity to be with intelligent young people, " and he said that JMU
gave him a more positive experience than he would have had at any other university.
"Teaching at JMU has been delightful; it's like I never left college," said Butler.
"JMU students have always been well mannered and delightful; they are a good
collection of young people." He hoped that "everybody will end up in a niche
where they can be perfectly satisfied with life."

As a smdent at the University of Georgia, he decided to pursue psychology because
of a "very charismatic and interesting" psychology professor he had. Psychology was
"not a consuming interest" of his, but if it was good enough for his professor, he
felt it was good enough for him. He also gave credit to his wife of 37 years for
"inspiring him and giving him courage." How they met is an incredible story, but
if you wanted to know the ending, you had to take his class. ■

Preparing for his next class,
professor of psychology Dr.
James Butler sits at his lec-
tern in the Anthony-Seeger
Hall auditorium. Butler
estimated that he taught
over 30,700 students at
the university during his
"800-year" tenure. ■

Jeffrey Bourne

Director of Atfiletics

Though Dr. Linwood Rose was inaugurated as the university's fifth president
on Sept. 17, he had already actively held the position for a year. During that time,
the entire university administration underwent change. Throughout the year, Rose
made several key appointments in order to better reach his vision of the university
as the preeminent undergraduate institution in the country.

Shortly after assuming his presidential role in 1998, Rose appointed Dr. Robert
Scott, former vice president for student affairs and a 17-year administrative veteran,
the vice president for institutional effectiveness, the first in the university's history.
Rose created this new position in an effort to help the university better focus its
efforts in planning, assessment and evaluation.

After spending more than 20 years at the university as a student, faculty member
and administrator, Dr. Mark Warner was appointed to take Scott's place as vice
president for student affairs. Also an associate professor of health sciences, Warner
was committed to serving student needs, enhancing student learning and facilitating
student growth and to providing the best possible programs and services to help
students develop the skills that would enable them to enjoy success as individuals,
professionals and citizens.

After spending more than six years at Sweet Briar College in Lynchburg, Va.,
as the vice president for development and college relations, Mitchell Moore was
appointed vice president for development and alumni relations in January 1999.
At this university, Moore oversaw the approximate $4 million that was raised each
year from private funds to benefit both academic and athletic programs. He was
also in charge of the most ambitious fund-raising program in the school's history,
a goal of an endowment and capital gifts total of $100 million dollars by 2008.

Rose's final appointment was Jeffrey Bourne, previously the executive
associate athletics director at Georgia Tech, as the university's new athletics
director. At a press conference to introduce Bourne in May 1999, Rose
praised the new director. "Jeff Bourne has the combination of background
and skills that we are looking for at JMU in terms of administration, financial
management, marketing, fiind-raising and most importantly, leading our
coaches and student-athletes ... He's committed to excellence, he's committed
to the concept of the student-athlete that we know at JMU, he's committed
to winning and winning by the rules."

Behind ail of these changes were Rose's goals for the university, set forth
in his inaugural address. "Waiting a year between assuming office and being

installed does permit one the luxury of testing and confirming thoughts
and ideas before publicly announcing them. I am pleased to say; however,
that today I remain steadfast in my acknowledgment and commitment to
four goals: to preserve the prominence of the student in all that we do at
James Madison University; to secure a higher level of resources to support
the faculty, staff and programs of this university; to embrace the concept of
institutional effectiveness or simply put, accountability, and; to unite or
align us in a common direction so that we might maximize our potential
and achieve beyond our expectations and those of others.

"But please keep in mind that our work together is of importance only
if it results in improving the quality of educational experience for our smdents." ■

ychi omega

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

"Win $1000 towards your tuition for next semester!" ■ Many stu-
dents recognized this scenario because they took part in the raffle held
by Alpha Kappa Psi during November. For the second year, the
business fraternity's fund-raiser succeeded in benefiting Big Brothers
Big Sisters of Harrisonburg. ■ "Unfortunately, the brothers and
pledgee are ineligible to win the tuition money, but if I were randomly
walking by and noticed the raffle, I would definitely take my chances
at winning. My parents would love any contribution towards my
education!" said Liz Boyer. Along with the raffle, AKT also did fiind-
raising at football games and Convocation Center Clean Up after
basketball games. ■ AKT chapter, Nu Psi, was chartered November
1991. Individuals who believed in the importance of business and
learning the necessary skills to advance in the business environment
established the chapter. Activities the brothers did to obtain those
skills involved hosting a variety of professional speakers who helped
educate them about their career choices. They also were involved in
the community through organizations such as Big Brodiers Big Sisters
and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. ■ Although a
professional business fraternity, there were numerous activities that
were purely for fun, where brothers acted like true friends instead of
business partners. Everyone worked toward common career goals, yet
having fun was not completely out of the picture. A closer look at
AKH' showed that, like any other organization, people were anxious
to meet others and hoped to make friendships that would last a life-
time. ■ by Melissa Marie Bates

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

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

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

society of interior designers

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

new-year celebration, ASU educated students and the
surroimding community about Asian cultures. ASU also raised
money and collected food for social-service centers and
churches in the community. ■ "We want to spread Asian
awareness and promote Asian unity on campus, said Roberts.
ASU served as an "umbrella" for other Asian cultures. "Many
people forget how large Asia is, and that it includes people
not just from Korea, China or Japan," said Roberts. ASU
spread awareness by bringing guest speakers to the imiversity.

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

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

crusade for christ

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

Informational pamphlets help Crusaders share their message. In addition to sharing
their faith with fellow students, many members spread their message around the
world through either 1 0-week or one-year commitments. ■ Photo by Kirstin Reid

campus ministry

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

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

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

Anchorsplash. The most participated philanthropy on campus, AF's
Anchorsplash was the first event ever held on campus that involved
the entire Greek community. An annual success, the event raised
almost $5000. ■ The events of the weeklong Anchorsplash included a
basketball tournament, a volleyball tournament. Most Beautiful Eyes, a
penny wars contest on The Commons, and a Mr./Miss Anchorsplash
contest. Within the Mr./Miss Anchorsplash contest there were three
events: best legs, best dressed and a lip sync. To win Anchorsplash,
an organization accumulated points by participating in and winning
the events throughout the week. ■ In addition to their service projects,
Ar also planned numerous social activities throughout the year. For
their fall recruitment, the sorority used the theme of "Endless Summer."
Rush activities included going to the Waffle House, having required
study hours, an ice cream movie party, and going to Kline's Dairy Bar.

The preamble to the constitution of the Deha Chi fraternity
stated: "beHeving that great advantages are derived from a
brotherhood of college and university men, appreciating that
close association may promote friendship, develop character,
advance justice and assist in the acquisition of a sound education,
do ordain and establish this Constitudon." Since March 1999,
when the brothers arrived on campus, they tried to uphold these
philosophies. ■ 1999 was AX's first year on campus, but began
nationally as a law fraternity in 1890. The brothers were dedi-
cated to both assimilating into and helping the community. The
brothers sought members that were willing to better themselves,
their campus and community. ■ AX accomplished this through

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

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

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

work and dedication paid off for the 40 members of the Field
Hockey Club. They competed within the National Field
Hockey League while building friendships. "One of the imique
things about our club is that with an unusually large team like
ours, you meet a lot of people and end up spending lots of time
together and creating close friendships," said president Sarah
Ann 111. ■ "We are very committed to the spon, but we cater
practices to balance the fun of practice with the goal of
winning. It's equally competitive and non-competitive for those
who take the spon seriously or just want to have fun," said 111.

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

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

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

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

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

sound environment through effective and progressive imple-
mentation of its Honor Code. ■ by Christina Cook

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

■ Several "shadow days " were also sponsored by the group in which
students went into Washington, D.C., and areas of Northern Virginia
to follow someone in the business or communications field for a day.

■ Emphasizing communication and its importance to the business

order

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

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

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

connection

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

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

madison project

The founding fathers of the a cappella community, The Madison
Project paved the way for the groups that soon followed. By 1999,
the campus was graced with five a cappella groups. ■ The Madison
Project was started in spring 1996 by student J. R. Snow and UVA
graduate student Dave Keller. By spring 1997, the all-male group
had enough members and songs to premiere at their first concert. ■
For about a year, The Madison Project remained the only a cappella
group on campus. ■ "Five is a good number [of a cappella groups]
right now. It's all the campus can handle," said co-musical director
Jason Snow, a senior. ■ The Madison Project had seen all ol the other
a cappella groups form before their eyes, yet each group supported
each other and often performed together. "We're a tight a cappella
community," said Snow. "We have so much fun with it." ■ The
Madison Project used their skills to involve themselves in a number
of charities and community service activides. Such acuvides included
raising money for Camp Heardand, Smdent Ambassador scholarships.
Breast Cancer Awareness and the Make-A-Wish Foundation'' along
with performing for high schools, alumni and residence halls. ■
"There is nothing I like more than singing in fi-ont of big crowds and
getting people energized," said freshman Ben Tomko. ■ The group
also prepared for the first time to compete against other college a cappella
groups for the opportunity to sing at the Lincoln Center in New York.

■ In addition to focusing on their competition, the men worked on a
medley of songs that were unexpeaed for The Madison Project. Their
newest songs included popular hits by Kid Rock and Smashmouth.

■ Co-musical direaor Adam Klein said his favorite part about singing
with The Madison Project was "the release I get from all the stress of
school." ■ Although The Madison Project lost seven members to
graduation in May 1999, they added five new members to their
ensemble. With their first CD behind them, the group planned to
release their second in February 2000. ■ "It's neat to see where we've
come from. We were just a bunch of guys, then we had enough songs
to do a concert. It's great to see how huge a cappella has become and
how many groups there are," said Snow. ■ by Robyn Gerstenslager

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

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

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

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

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

Originally founded in Chicago, Panhellenic Council was
the governing body of the nine social sororities on campus.
The purpose of Panhellenic was to promote scholarship,
education, service and unity among the separate sororities.
■ Presidents and delegates from each sorority voted on the
president-elea and president. The other nine positions annually
rotated through each of the nine houses. ■ Throughout
the year, Panhellenic planned numerous activities, including
New Member Education Day, a day fdled with speakers and
explanations of Greek Life policies. Members also worked
on the construction of a house with Habitat for Humanity
and Interfraternity Coiuicil. ■ To promote issues imponant
to Greek Life they brought speakers to campus. Panhellenic
was also in charge of fall women's recruitment. In addition,
members visited sorority houses to speak on issues important
to all Greek women, such as safety in the houses and along
Greek Row. ■ by Teisha Garrett

overtones

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

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

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia's main goal was to achieve musical
endeavors on campus and beyond. They did this throug!
service, education, performance and research. Members
encouraged and actively promoted the highest standards in
music nationwide. ■ The first chapter of MA was founded
at the New England Conservatory ot Music in 1898. The
campus chapter was founded in 1969. In 1999, there were
over 200 chapters ot C>MA throughout the United States.
■ Any man interested in and passionate about music was
eligible. New members completed a nine-week probationary
period where they learned important information about the
chapter and the national organization. ■ Phi Mu Alpha was
the only professional men's music fraternity on campus. They
volunteered their time to people and projects that needed
assistance, particularly in the Music Building. In the fall
they coordinated an a cappella concert in Wilson Hall to
benefit the Sheetz Family Christmas program. The seasonal
charity presented gifts to local children who weren't expecting
much under their tree. ■ The men of OMA continued to
uphold the highest standards of music and contribute to the
communirv'. ■ bv Teisha Garrett

Founded on Feb. 26, 1995, the Beta,^o chapter of Phi Sigma
Pi National Honor Fraternity was 60 members strong in 1999.
Fraternity members participated in activities related to the
principles of scholarship, leadership and fellowship, both among
dieir brothers and within the community. ■ The coed fraternity
was open to students of any major with a grade point average
of 3.0 or higher and at least a 12-credit course load. At the
beginning of each semester, there was a two-week rush period
for all students wishing to join Zn. During this time, the
rushees got to know the brothers and gained an understand-
ing of the principles of the organization. ■ The historic honor
fraternity was originally founded on these principles in February
1916 and the Beta Rho chapter continued to serve as an example
of these values. ■ by Courtney Delk

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

/^sigma Sigma

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

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

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

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

government association

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

Sigma

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

taukappa

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

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

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

Calling themselves the Flying Hellfish, the Ultimate Frisbee Club was
not your typical sports team. Besides being involved in one of the
fastest-growing sports scenes, club members were known to dye their
hair, wear skirts, go orange bowling, do landsharks and routinely cause
havoc at Gibbons Hall. Laura Steinheber, a non-Frisbee player, gave
her thoughts on the Hellfish. "1 think that the JMU Ultimate Frisbee
team has the best compilation of characters JMU has ever seen," said
Steinheber, a junior math major. ■ In only their second full season,
the Ultimate Frisbee Club's composition changed a great deal from the
previous season. The number of participants doubled in size, expanding
the club to over 40 members, including eight women. As to the types of
people involved, it was unclear whether Frisbee attracted certain types or
if it was Frisbee that transformed people into acting a litde crazy. What-
ever the situation was, they all came together for the love of Frisbee.

■ The club experienced a number of memorable moments including
sophomore Preston Sharp's jump into the chilly Potomac River to
rescue a Frisbee and the team's Mardi-Gras tournament over spring
break. ■ On the field, it was a roller-coaster year for the team. The
Hellfish got off to a hot start in the beginning of the fall but faded
near the end of the semester. Captain Rob Knapik, a junior, said,
"We were successful in many ways, but also disappointing. We didn't
play up to our full potential in some tournaments." The team was
able to reboimd and finished the year with a very strong spring season.

■ The fiiture looked promising. Lx)sing only three seniors, a number of
seasoned veterans would return in the following year. The club set
their sights high based on their current success, hoping to be one of
the dominant college teams in the country. ■ by Ronnie Turner

Xprogram board

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

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

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

bond with each other, as well as with members of the women's
team. All imdergraduates, graduate students and faculty members
were eligible for membership. ■ "The uniqueness of our sport
sets us apart," said president Chris Field. "Our rich, 2 1 year
history is fdled with high levels of competition, as well as
individual achievement, personal growth and team bonding."

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

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

ot their current sisters, aliunnae and members of their national council.
■ The activities for the day included campus tours for alumnae, a

of the sisters met with members of the national ZTA staff. ■ Junior
Jessica Cruttendim, ZTA's historian, was in charge of the event. "During
the banquet we celebrated the past, present and future of the Gamma
Kappa chapter," she said. ■ "One woman came back who had graduated
in 1954. She was a former president and historian, so it was really
interesting talking with her," said senior Melanie Decostanzo, ZTA's
president for 1998-1999. ■ During the year the Gamma Kappa chapter
was honored with many distinctions, honors and awards, both on- and
off-campus. ■ Along with the brothers of Kappa Alpha Order, ZTA
entered a float in the Homecoming Parade. Together, they won the
award for best overall float. The women of ZTA also won the Spirit
Award during Homecoming Week. ■ During Delta Gamma's Anchor-
splash, ZTA s Vai Anderson, a junior, won the "best legs" portion of
the competition and then was awarded Miss Anchorsplash 1999. ■

the Crown Chapter for ZTA, which was one of the highest distinc-
tions for ZTA nationally. They also were given the honor of being the
Crown Chapter for Virginia and an award for outstanding commu-

The 1999 spring season was a tough one for the
Diamond Dukes. Creating history by losing
their first seven games, the team soon bounced
baclc by beating St. Joseph's 5-2 and sweeping
Army for three consecutive games. However,
their 58-game schedule and the competition
in the Colonial Athletic Association was too
fierce (or the young, transitional team. They
ended their season 22-35-1 overall and 6-15
in the CAA In the CAA tournament, the Dukes
lost to Richmond 7-1 in the opening round
but came back to beat William and Mary in a
close 4-3 match-up, only to face Richmond
again and get eliminated from the tournament
in a 10-1 loss. ■ "We were a yoimg team with
1 1 freshmen, still in transition, had some freak
injuries and in a conference that is ranked the
third best conference in the country. It is hard
to win consistendy with those situations," said
head coach Joe "Spanky" McFarland about his
second year with the Dukes. ■ Despite a frus-
trating season, there were several highlights.
Freshmen left-hander Adam Wynegar pitched

a no-hitter in his first collegiate start in which
he tied a school record with 16 strike-outs and
assisted the Dukes in a 16-0 viaory over Indiana
University-Purdue University at Indianapolis.
It was the first no-hitter since 1989 and the
seventh no-hitter in school history. Collegiate
Baseball and the CAA recognized Wynegar as
player of the week for his achievement. ■ Greg
Miller, a sophomore third baseman, was selec-
ted to the 1999 American Baseball Coaches
Association AU-East region second team, making
it the seventh consecutive season the university
has been represented on the team. Miller was
also selected to the All-state and All-conference
teams. ■ Junior right-handed pitcher Blair
DeHart was drafted by the San Diego Padres in
the fifth round of the Major League Baseball
Draft in June, and catcher Kevin Razler, a current
senior, became the all-time career leader for hits
with 279. Second baseman Tim "T" Riley, a
junior, led the nation with 56 stolen bases out of
60 anempts and led the team to place second in
the national standings with 1 82 stolen bases. ■

The men's basketball team opened their season
winning their first three games at home, beating
N.C.-Greensboro, Boston University and East
Tennessee State and continued their home
winning streak through ten games. Senior guard
jamar Perry led the Dukes to victory as the
leading scorer in all three contests. The Dukes
went on to win four of their next eight match-
ups to close out the month of December. Their
losses to Liberry, Richmond and Radford were
all within 10 points. ■ The Dukes opened the
new year losing to Georgetown 63-48 but re-
bounded well, beating Colonial Athletic Asso-
ciation opponents American, George Mason
and Old Dominion. The men then fell in a
close game against Virginia Commonwealth
University 66-63, but senior guard Jabari Outtz
kept the Dukes in the game with a team-high
20 points while sophomore forward Tim Lyle
led the team with eight rebounds. The Dukes

went on to beat Richmond 65-64 when junior
transfer Mickey Dennis hit a fade-away three-
pointer from the corner at the buzzer. ■ Never-
theless, the Dukes next experienced a disap-
pointing 57-32 loss to N.C. -Wilmington in
which they only made 1 1 field goals out of
44 attempts and had only three assists. The
men finished their season avenging their loss
to N.C. -Wilmington earlier in the season by
beating the Seahawks 67-65, remaining un-
beaten at home for the season, stretching their
home winning streak to 18 games. ■ In his
third year as head coach, Sherman Dillard led
a young squad consisting of five freshmen, one
sophomore, two juniors and four seniors to a
19-8 regular season finish as the regular season
CAA co-champions, along v^dth George Mason.

The women's basketball team opened their
season with one of the youngest teams in the
Colonial Athletic Association. Second-year head
coach Bud Childers said, "This season you saw
a changing of the guard in the Dukes' women's
basketball program. We were not expected to
accomplish much coming off a disappointing
year, but the influx of new players created a whole
different atmosphere with no seniors on the
roster." ■ The Dukes opened their season win-
ning their first two games at home against
Wagner and Murray State. The women then
traveled to the DePaul Moran Realty Classic,
where they lost two tough match-ups against
Northwestern and 22""* ranked DePaul. When
the Dukes returned home they had another
tough loss to Virginia Tech 50-66, despite shoot-
ing 1 00 percent from the free throw line. The
Dukes went on to win the next six of seven
games including a five game winning streak at

home. The women suffered a tough loss to Rich-
mond 11 4- 104 in overtime but rallied back to
beat George Mason 65-53. ■ The women
played well throughout the season and were dom-
inant in the Convocation Center. They had an
1 1 -game home winning streak going into the
Old Dominion game. However, the defending
CAA champions snapped the streak and beat
the Dukes 84-64 despite a tie at the half. ■
"Every night was a real challenge but the lessons
learned were quick and effective," said Childers.
"At times you could not tell that three or four
freshmen were on the floor." ■ Junior Mandy
White was the Dukes' leading scorer and "a
real key to our success," said Childers. Junior
Stacey Todd also helped the Dukes out under
the boards in rebounds and led the conference
in shooting percentage. Jess Cichowicz, a fresh-
man, set a school record for the most assists
by a freshman. ■

With a year-round season, the cheerleading
squad, coached by Rebecca Grefe, devoted a
large part of their college lives to the sport.
During the fall these men and women enter-
tained and livened the crowd from the sidelines
of Brideforth Stadium. In between games, how-
ever, a rigorous practice schedule was part of
their daily routine. Mondays and Wednesdays
at dawn and afternoons on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays the team ran and practiced tumbling,
stunting, baskets and pyramids. Strength and
conditioning was incorporated into their sched-
ule along with rehearsal for games. Once foot-
ball season ended, the team was recruited to
the Convocation Center where they continued
enchanting spectators with their exciting acts.
Always anxious for newcomers, the team held
tryouts in the fall and held open gyms on Tues-
day nights to encourage participation. ■
Although once a varsity and jimior varsity sport,
the team was divided into purple and gold teams.
The decision was made in an attempt to make
the two teams more equal, which gave everyone
more experience. Both teams cheered for foot-
ball while purple cheered for the mens basket-
ball games and gold tor the women s games.
In an effon to support all athletic teams, the

squad attended at least one game or match per
season for each team. ■ The long-awaited
National Competition was open to all colleges
and universities and took place over Spring
Break in Daytona Beach, Fla. The Dukes com-
peted in one of the toughest divisions (Division
I with schools of up 30,000 students). During
summer camp, teams qualified to attend the
National Competition. In the fall, each team
submitted a skills video that ranked all the
teams. The top 10 teams were offered bids.
Training for the competition began in February
extending through March and was extremely
rigorous and time consuming. In addition to
regularly scheduled practice every day, the
athletes also had a separate practice for two
hours. The schedule was a major time commit-
ment for the determined athletes and hardly
had an off-season. ■ Captain Amy Callahan
felt despite all the hard work, "It's really fun
because everyone there really wants to do it
and doing it together makes it a great experi-
ence." ■ Captain Greg Whitesell felt "Self-
motivation is one of our strong points this year.
The members of this team, though young, have
an incredible ability to push themselves as
athletes for the benefit of the whole team." ■

Men's cross country head coach, Dave Rinker,
decided not to beat around the bush in his
first year. Instead, he led his team to a Colonial
Athletic Association Championship allowing
the men to retain their title. The men main-
tained their momentum through the NCAA
Southeast Region Championships in which
they placed third out of 25 teams securing an
at-large bid to the NCAA National Cham-
pionships. ■ Seniors Ben Cooke and David
Spiller, and junior Eric Post finished third,
fifth and fourth, respectively, at the Spike Shoe
Invitational in University Park, Pa. Cooke
finished an impressive fourth out of 201 runners
at the Paul Short Invitational in Lehigh, Pa.,
in which the team finished first. ■ The
men's CAA Championship was made possible
through the leadership of senior Ben Cooke,
who placed second with a time of 24:1 1:84.
Junior Eric Post's fifth place finish also helped
advance the team to the NCAA Southeast
Region Championships. With three All-South-
east region performers, Cooke, Spiller, and
sophomore Mike Smith, the men's team was
able to defend the CAA Championship for

the second consecutive year. ■ Complement-
ing the men's success, the women's cross
country team, coached by Gwen Harris, earned
itself a CAA Champion-ship also. It was their
first championship since 1995. The women's
team also proceeded to the NCAA Southeast
Region Championships and placed fourth out
of 29 teams to conclude their successfiil season.
Senior Heather Hanscom's outstanding first
place finishes in the Lou Onesty Invitational,
the George Washington Invitational, and the

second place at the Paul Short Invitational,
the 24th ranked women's team watched as

The fencing team, lead by head coach Paul
Campbell and assistant coach Maiy Anne Walker,
consisted of a lot more evident talent than the
previous year. ■ Six NCAA Regional qualifiers
returned to the squad making for a competent,
enthusiastic group of women. One of those
individuals was team captain Laura Webb. As
a senior, Webb more than fulfilled her obliga-
tion to the team in the past four years. In the
win against Hollins University, Webb was one
of nine fencers to finish without a loss. Other
team members with a successfiil season were
sophomore Tara Saddig, who was a full-time
starter and won the foil state championship last
season, sophomore Devon Allen, who finished

seventh in the state championships last season,
sophomore Allison Schwartz who went 3-0 in
foil and sabre in the defeat against Hollins and
junior Kim Roberts who was named the top
epee fencer at the N.C.-Chapel Hill tournament.
Roberts, along with junior Vicki Karousos, was
named first-team all-conference last season. ■
Freshman Elisa Browne and sophomore Kelly
Scott were added to the epee squad this year
making for a talented blend of women. The
squad was faced with tough competition last
year, including five-time national champion
Penn State, Rutgers University, NYU and
Northwestern. Each player contributed signi-
ficantly to the team's efforts and success. ■

Making their fifth appearance in the NCAA
tournament in seven years and their first since
1997, the field hockey team experienced yet
another successfiil season. ■ Under head coach
Christy Morgan and assistant coaches Amy
Fowler and Lisa Cellucci, the field hockey team
consisted of five seniors, eight juniors and a
strong mix of underclassmen. Coach Morgan
described the freshman class as "one of the best
in the nation." The team finished second in the
CAA behind two-time CAA Champion Old
Dominion. The Dukes had a tough schedule
facing nationally ranked Duke, Massachusetts,
North Carolina, Maryland, Penn State, Virginia
and Old Dominion. The Dukes lost to Old
Dominion 3-1 in the CAA Championship
game and fell one game short of making the
NCAA final four, losing to number three ranked
Wake Forest 3-0. ■ Coach Morgan referred
to the season as "great" and said, "We came
close in the finals of the CAA, showing a very
intense, disciplined performance. Our experience

in the NCAA tournament was a great one where
individuals grew in so many ways." ■ Many
athletes were honored for their successes through-
out the season. Senior back Katrina Hunter was
named CAA Defender of the Year. She was
also selected to the All-CAA first team, All-
America team, CAA All-Tournament team and
she played in the North/South All-Star Game.
Colleen Kreiger, a senior midfielder, joined
Himter in the North/South All-Star Game, and
was named to the All-CAA first team for the
third year and the All-South first team. Junior
goalie Amanda Latz, who allowed orJy 32 goals
and had seven shutouts, was named to the All-
CAA first team, All-South region second team
and the All-CAA Tourna-ment team. Junior
Julie Martinez, senior Sara Perilla and Liz
Sanders were all named to the All-CAA second
team. Perilla was honored for the third year and
had a season record 22 assists. Juniors Whimey
Diebolt and Liz Sanders were also honored as
All-South second team members. ■

Fans had something to cheer about again as the
Dukes made an about-face going 7-1 in the
Atlantic- 10 and 8-3 in the regular season after
finishing last in their division in 1998. Under
first year head coach Mickey Matthews, the Dukes
shocked the conference by tying Massachusetts
tor the Atlantic- 10 championship when they
were prediaed to finish next-to-last in the preseason
coaches' poll. The team was ranked as high as
sixth nationally in Division I-AA standings and
received the Atlantic- lO's automatic bid to the
NCAA I-AA tournament. ■ After losing their
first game to Virginia Tech, the Dukes rebounded
by winning their next seven games. ■ The Dukes'
success came as a team effort. Offensively, the
Dukes were led by tailback Curtis Keaton who
scored 20 touchdowns and ran for a total of 1679
yards. Keaton had eight games with over 100 yards
rushing and three consecutive games with over
200 yards rushing. Keaton's highlight game came
against the University of Connecticut on Home-
coming. In front of a crowd of more than 12,000

fens, Keaton ran for 237 yards and five touchdowns
to help defeat the Huskies 48-14. Defensively,
Chris Morant led the team with 1 1 sacks, which
tied the season record. He was also involved in
63 tackles. ■ Coach Matthews said "Our focus
this year was to do the little things right and let
the big things work themselves out. We played as a
team and we won. This team will be remembered
as a turn around team. " ■ The Dukes' quarter-
backs were plagued by injuries and forced to use
five different quarterbacks this season and as many
as three in one game. Junior transfer Charles Berry
staned the year, freshman walk-on Mike Connelly
provided a spark for the Dukes midseason, and
John DeFilippo played in six games without
throwing an interception. ■ Bringing excitement
back to football, the Dukes produced their first
winning season since 1 996. Matthews was named
both the Adantic-10 and NCAA Division I-AA
Coach of the Year while Keaton was named
Offensive Player of the Year and Morant was
named Defensive Player of the Year. ■

After a slow start in the fall season, the men's
golf team rebounded well in the spring earning
one of the best records in the'nation finishing
128-10-2. The Dukes finished in first place at
both the Kingsmill-William and Mary Invita-
tional and the Kiskiack/William and Mary Invi-
tational. Along with these two viaories and great
play in all other tournaments, the team made
their sixth consecutive appearance in the NCAA
East Regional Championship. However, the
Dukes finished a disappointing 22nd out of 23
teams. Despite their 22nd finish, the Dukes were
very consistent in the scores they shot. ■ "The
team members would never shoot really high,
resulting in a lower team score and higher team
finishes," said team co-captain Faber Jamerson.
Jamerson, a senior, led the team and was named

second team AU-CAA and second team AU-State.
■ The fall, however, proved to be a prosperous
time as the men jumped into the Navy Fall Invi-
tational and took fourth in the tournament. Ben
Keefer shot a 144 for two rounds and captured
1 1 th place leading the team to a fourth place
finish among 18 teams. One of the season's high-
lights was senior Scott Polen's third place finish
out of 96 players at the Georgetown Hoya
Invitational where he completed both roimds
only one stroke behind the leader. Senior Shane
Foster mirrored Polen's performance at the
Temple Invitational Golf Tournament shooting
a 73-71 for second place out of 75 golfers. Re-
turning home, the team took third place among
18 teams at the JMU Invitational as Foster tied
for third place bettering 87 others' scores. ■

The men's and women's gymnastics teams con-

Athletic Conference. The men lost four of their
top gymnasts to graduation but had four new-

the season at the West Point Open, the Dukes
finished seventh out of eight teams. Sopho-
more Nick Blanton had the highest scores in
all but two events for the Dukes, finishing 13th
in the all-around competition and tieing for
13th in still rings. ■ The Dukes struggled as
a team throughout their season, suffering tough
losses to Temple, William and Mary and Navy.
However, individual gymnasts performed con-
sistently well in every competition. Blanton
finished first or second in all-around competi-
tions in almost every meet. In a competition
against William and Mary, he finished first in
the all-around, floor exercise, horizontal bar
and vault and second in the still rings. During
a meet with Temple, senior captain John Kyle

finished first in the vault and freshman Josh
Goodwin finished second in the all-around
behind Blanton. ■ The women's team lost
six gymnasts to graduation but had a strong
group of veterans including four seniors and
eight juniors. The women opened their season
in Pittsburgh and, despite a close loss, competed
well as senior Betsy Hernandez finished first
and junior Allyson Betar came in second in
the all-around competition. Freshman Carri
Elder finished second in the floor exercise
followed by junior Rachel Malinowski in third.
The women's best meet came against William
and Mary, winning by just five-hundredths of
a point. The Dukes dominated the meet with
Hernandez finishing first, followed by senior
Ashleigh Suarez in the all-around competition.
Malinowski finished second behind Elder in

record against the University of North Carolina
scoring 191.725 in team competition. ■

The spring 1999 lacrosse team experienced
another successful season. Finishing 13-5 overall
and 6-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association,
the team beat Loyola to earn their second con-
secutive CAA championship. ■ Despite a
disappointing second round loss to Duke in
the NCAA tournament, "This was the best
overall season and team I've coached here and
in JMU history," said head coach Jen Ulehla.
■ The Dukes were ranked in the IWLCA Top
20 ever)' week of the season, as high as second
in the nation. The team ended the year ranked
sixth in the nation. The lacrosse team had the
second strongest schedule in the nation behind
the University' of Maryland, pla>'ing nationally
ranked North Carolina, Penn State, Loyola,
Virginia and defending national champion
Mar}'land. The Dukes" toughest games cajne
against seventh-ranked Loyola and Maryland.
The Dukes beat Loyola 17-6, the largest margin

they have ever beaten the Greyhounds. ■ En
route to their win, senior Megan Riley broke
the career record for goals and finished her career
with an impressive 151 goals. The Dukes put up
quite a fight against Maryland despite an 12-11
loss in over-time. "It was the best game I have
ever been a pan of We gained a lot of confidence
and realized that we can play with any of the
top teams out there," said coach Ulehla. ■ With
five seniors, eight juniors, five sophomores and
six freshmen, the Dukes pulled off huge wins
against North Carolina, Old Dominion, Delaware,
William and Mary, George Mason and Rutgers,
all nationally ranked. Coach Ulehla believed her
team's abilit)' to be so competitive and successfijl
was because "the girls worked very hard. They
were the most cohesive, physically strong, athletic
group of individuals and the)' worked vet)' hard
in the offseason to maintain a competitive level
of speed and endurance." ■

With more than half their starting line up lost
to graduation in the spring and only two seniors
on the team, the men's soccer team faced a tough
schedule with a very young team. The Dukes
finished the season 11-8-1 overall and 4-4 in
the Colonial Athletic Association. Head coach
Tom Martin said, "Despite our record, our
season went very well. We accomplished a lot
and had some significant victories." ■ The
Dukes opened the season winning five of their
first six contests and had a 2-2 double overdme
tie to the University of Pennsylvania. Despite
a total of eight losses and an early first round
exit in the CAA tournament, the men's team
came away with two huge viaories against tough
nonconference teams. The Dukes beat Portland
University 3-2 in the George Mason/Kappa
Classic early in the fall and also beat the eventual
national champion Indiana University, 2-0 in
the Florida Internadonal Bell South Classic. ■

"The win against Indiana was very gratifying
for the kids. They played well and got everything
done in order to win. They played hard and
deserved that win especially since it was such a
difficult tournament. That win and the way
our guys played was very satisfying for me as
a coach. " ■ During the season, coach Martin,
in his 1 4th year, captured his 200th victory
at JMU against St. Francis of Pennsylvania.
Manin finished the year with 205 JMU vic-
tories and 324 in his career. ■ At the end of
the season, two Dukes were named to the
All-CAA men's soccer team. Junior forward
Brandon Wright and junior midfielder Randy
Steeprow were both named to the second team
for their accomplishments last season. Wright
was the team's leading scorer with 1 1 goals and
ranked fourth in the league. Steeprow was the
team's assists leader with nine and tied for the
league lead. ■

The women's soccer team enjoyed another
exciting season under head coach Dave Lom-
bardo, in his 10th year. Lombardo's squad
ended their season 14-7-1 overall and 6-1-1 in
the CAA, finishing second and making their
fifth consecutive NCAA appearance. The Dukes
opened the season with a 1-0 win against West
Virginia and continued to win eight of their
next 1 1 contests, including a huge, first-time
2-1 upset over rival University of Virginia. Like
the men's soccer head coach Tom Martin, Dave
Lombardo also celebrated his 200th victory
as a coach with a 2-0 win over George Wash-
ington. The Dukes made a disappointing early
exit in the CAA tournament in a 2-1 loss to
Richmond. However, the Dukes rebounded
with an at-iarge bid to the NCAA tournament.
The women made it to roimd of 32 when they
beat University of Pennsylvania 1-0, but fell

to the University of Virginia in a 3-1 loss. ■
Lombardo regarded the season as a "bonus
season for us because after losing seven starters
from last year's NCAA tournament team,
nobody expected us to return to the NCAA
tournament again." Not only did the team
return to the tournament, they were also ranked
in the nation's Top 20 — as high as 13th — for
the ninth straight year. The Dukes finished
the year outscoring their opponents 43-28
and outshooting them 346-254. ■ At the end
of the season, five athletes were named to the
1999 CAA women's soccer team. Senior
forward Aimee Grahe, sophomore midfielder
Beth Burgess, and junior midfielder Christy
Yacono were named to the first team while
junior defender Lenore Brey and sophomore
goalkeeper Suzanne Wilson grabbed second
team honors. ■

After raising the anciior tiiat weighed down the
swimming and diving team in their first two
meets, the men cut swiftly through the water
in their next three appearances. In the comftjrt
ot their own pool, the men faced the University
of Maryland-Baltimore County and won 131-
113. In the 100-yard freestyle, fteshman Adam
Gustafson touched at 48.16, over 19 seconds
ahead of any UMBC swimmer. Above the water,
freshman Jeff Hudson nailed the 3-meter spring-
board with a score of 236.55 while the com-
bined effort of sophomores Justin Molle and
John McLaren, Cartin and Gustafson in the
400-yard freestyle relay earned them first place.
■ In what turned out to be a poolside massacre,
the men's swimming and diving team drowned
Virginia Military Institute 187-45. Grant was
among the team's top performers at the meet;
his 400-yard medley relay team finished third
while he individually finished first and second
among the team's swimmers in the 200-yard
backstroke and 200-yard breaststroke, respec-
tively. The following week, the men's team sank
George Mason in consecutive meets 1 86-82 and
143-77. ■ Despite the women's season opening
loss, they regained their composure and won
the next five meets. Wiping out both George
Mason University and American University, the
team was led by sophomore A.C. Cruickshanks
who took first place in the 400-yard individual

medley and the 200-yard butterfly. Junior
Samantha Smith broke her own school record
in the 200-yard breaststroke and captured first
place in the 100-yard breaststroke to complete
the successful meet. ■ At home, the women
achieved victory over one of the nation's top
Division III teams, Mary Washington College,
by a score of 148-98. Freshman Marie Hans-
brough, Cruickshanks, Smith and Lestyan
secured first place in the 200-yard medley relay
with a time of 1:52. Smith again placed first
in the 100-yard breaststroke while freshman
Jessica Holm Dahl touched with first-place in
the 200-yard breaststroke. ■ Both the men's
and women's swimming and diving teams were
able to beat William and Mary at home as the
women won 145-98 and the men won 148-91.
■ Cruickshanks acquired first in the 1000
freestyle in 10:31.20 and the 200 butterfly in
2:06.29 as a standout in the meet, while Smith
maintained her unblemished record of 1 5-0
after winning the 200 in 2:21.97. For the men,
Cartin won the 1000-yard freestyle in 9:42.07
and Hudson secured first place in the one-meter
and the three-meter springboards with scores
of 226.875 and 253.575, respectively. "The
teams concentrated on their final three meets
before entering the CAA Championships where
the men placed first among seven teams and the
women finished second among eight teams. ■

The men's tennis team improved its
record from their previous season. The
men's squad, coached by Steve Secord,
finished 1 5-8 overall and 5-3 in the Colo-
nial Athletic Association. The team fin-
ished fourth in the CAA tournament
behind three nationally ranked teams
and was fifth in the region in the Inter-
national Tennis Association rankings. ■
Sophomore Luis Rosado at the number
one spot and freshman Andrew Lux at
the nimiber two spot led the team.
Rosado has held the number one spot
since coming to JMU in the spring of
1998. He had 14 singles wins and eight
doubles wins last spring. Rosado's accom-
plishments earned him a spot on the All-
CAA first team. Lux finished the season

with a 12-6 record in singles play and a
12-6 record in doubles play. ■ Returning
in the fall, the men opened their season
with a win at the Citizens Bank Colle-
giate Clay Court Championships in
Kingsport, Tenn. Freshman Andrew
Lux's 3-1 record in the tournament earned
him Consolation Champion honors, and
he later went on to play in the William
and Mar\' tournament where he was 2-1.
At the East Coast Collc^te Men's Tennis
Championship, junior Doug Sherman
became the men's "D" Consolation Cham-
pion after a 2-1 viaory contributing to the
1 1-7 win. The men's doubles team solid
performance resulted in an overall 5-3
record, while freshman Adriaan Winter-
mans concluded the season 8-4. ■

Colonial Athletic Association tournament. ■
Coach Maria Malerba attributed the success
of their season to the sophomore class. "After
setting a standard for hard work and dedication,
our four returning juniors will now use their
experience and maturity to lead the team. A
majority of the success we obtained was a direct
product of that class," said Malerba. ■ The
main contributors to the team were Sheri Puppo
and Lauren Dalton. Puppo and Dalton finished
the season ranked 1 1th out of 300 teams in
doubles competition and had a 22-9 record for
the year. Puppo, a rwo-time All-CAA honoree,
earned the MVP award writh 1 2 victories in the
spring and ranked 24th in the region. Dalton

finished the season 11-6 in the number two
singles spot and received the Coaches' Award
for her play this season. Sarah Granson, a junior,
finished the season with the best singles record
of 12-4. ■ Additionally in the fall, the women's
preparation resulted in victory as they aquired
a 1 4-7 win at the Virginia Tech Invitational.
Freshman Shell Grover was undefeated as the
flight three champion with Dalton acquiring
consolation champion. Grove and Granson
combined their talents to become champions
in the doubles flight three. Their accomplish-
ments carried over into the East Coast Colle-
giate Women's Tennis Championships with
the doubles teams out-playing their opponents
and obtaining a 9-1 record. Puppo and Dalton
(10-3) mirrored their performance at the
ITA/ECAC Team Championships, in which
they were undefeated. ■

The 1999 track season was full of highlights and
record breakers for both the men's and women's
teams. The men, coached by Bill Walton, had
their most successfiil season in history. The team
ended the season placing third in the Colonial
Athledc Association championship and tied for
53rd in the NCAA tournament. The indoor
squad was fifth in the Intercollegiate Associa-
tion of Amatuer Athletes of America meet in
Boston. The IC4A is the Eastern Champion-
ships consisting of 1 00 Division I schools from
North Carolina to Maine including Notre
Dame. ■ "We work hard every year and build
our program around the IC4A tournament,"
said coach Walton. ■ At the NCAA Cham-
pionships in Indianapolis, Jason Long, Paul
Lewis, Rob Montgomery and Russ Coleman
were all named All-Americans in the distance
medley relay for finishing in the top eight. The
outdoor squad finished fourth at the IC4A in
Fairfax, Va. Long and Lewis qualified for the
NCAA championships in the 1 ,500m the 400m,
respectively. It was at the NCAA Division I
National Championship in which Long earned
All-America honors with his sixth-place finish

in the 1,500m (3:50.63). The men's team gained
national attention when Long, Lewis and
Coleman participated in the USA National
Championships. Long and Lewis both qualified
for the 2000 Olympic Trials. The team had
five athletes post national-level performances
in eight events. Sixteen athletes earned All-East
honors and Mike Smith made the U.S. Jr. Pan-
American Team and placed third in the 5,000m
at the Jr. Pan-American Games. ■ The team
set numerous school records including the
distance medley relay, 400m and 500m indoors
and in the 4x1 mile relay, 200m, 400m, 800m,
5,000m and 10,000m outdoors. Coach Walton
summed up the Dukes' season by saying "Our
highest quality depth was in the distance area,
however the key to our teams' success at the
championships was due to balanced scoring
in the sprints, jumps and distance events. The
upperclassmen displayed true leadership and
the younger athletes performed to their abilities. "
■ The women's team had another good season
under the coaching of Gwen Harris. The Dukes
finished sixth in the CAA championships, 13th
in the Eastern College Athletic Conference

Indoor Championships and tied 21st in the
ECAC Outdoor championships. The women's
best performance was at the Colonial Relays in
Williamsburg, Va., where the team finished
tied for second out of 1 8 teams. ■ Both Seun
Augustus and Keisha Banks set several new
school records. At the Virginia Tech Pentathlon,
Augustus set school records in the pentathlon
with a score of 3,488 points and in the pen-
tathlon 60m hurdles with a time of 9.2 seconds.
Augustus also set a school record in the long
jump at the CAA Championships where she
finished second. Banks set a school record in
the 1,000m run with a time of 2:20.7 at the
Virginia Tech Kroger Invitational. At the
Adidas Invitational, Banks came in first in the
800m run setting a school record of 2:07.98.
Many Dukes were honored for their accom-
plishments this season. Banks was named the
team's most outstanding athlete in running
events. Bethany Eigel was a finalist for the JMU
Female Athlete of the Year. Banks, Augustus,
Sarah Burkett, Eigel and Heather Hanscom
were all recognized for their individual achieve-
ments on the All-East team. ■

The volleyball team finished their season atop the
Colonial Athletic Association for the second year
in a row but also captured the CAA Champion-
ship tide and made their first-ever appearance in
the NCAA tournament. The Dukes beat Ameri-
can 10-15, 15-2, 15-7, 15-13 to win the CAA
title but lost in the first round of the NCAA
tournament to the University of San Diego 3-15,
7-15, and 11-15. ■ Head coach Chris Beerman
and his first recruiting class finished the season
26-7 overall and 13-1 in the CAA. "This is
what you hope for when you build a program,
you want the first recruiting class to be able
to win a championship," said coach Beerman.
The Dukes opened the season winning their
first seven games before losing to Pittsburgh
in a tough five-game match. The team swept
the CAA only losing to the defending CAA
champion American in five games. The Dukes
later avenged the loss by beating American
twice, once at home in a quick 15-12, 15-12,
15-5 match and again to clinch the CAA
championship. The Dukes' only home loss of
the season came against Virginia in an intense
five-game upset. The team finished the season

in Long Beach, Calif., in a Thanksgiving tour-
nament in which they went 1-2 defeating the
1999 Mid-Continent champion, Oral Roberts.
The team lost to Southern California and de-
fending NCAA champion Long Beach State. ■
With nine returning players, four of who are
returning starters, and one newcomer, head
coach Beerman considered his team the "best
defensive team in the CAA." Senior Lindsay
CoUingwood, a three time All-CAA and All-
State selection was a huge contributor both
offensively and defensively this season. CoUing-
wood was named CAA Player of the Year for
her accomplishments as she led the team in
kills and digs and ranked in the Top 1 5 in
the nation in service aces. Senior Taryn Kirk
and junior Karla Gessler were both named to
the All-CAA first team and were both among
the national leaders in hitting percentage, .377
and .384, respectively. Gessler set a school
record in hitting percentage last season, sur-
passing Kirk's record set in 1998. Senior setter
Christina Gianino, an All-CAA second team
selection, had 1376 assists and averaged 1 1.97
assists per game. ■

The wrestling team returned to the mat late
in November at the 22nd Annual Navy Classic,
only the mats of Annapolis, Md., were not as
kind to them as they hoped. Placing fifth out
of eight teams, the team managed to outscore
Virginia Tech, but were pinned behind the other
tour teams who watched West Virginia walk
away winners. The following week, the wresders
finished seventh among 12 teams at the 19th
Annual Sheridan Invitational in Bethlehem, Pa.,
but continued to improve as they traveled to
West Palm Beach for die 1999 Orange Bowl
Sunshine Open to secure seventh place out of
the 22 teams present. ■ As the first dominating
match of the season, the team placed second at
the Millersville Belles Tournarhent, rolling over
25 teams as sophomore Seth Cameron earned
three major decisions, finished 5-0 and was
named the Outstanding Wresder of the tourna-
ment. ■ Seniors Mike Coyle and Elliott
Williams displayed leadership and experience
combining for four decisions, including a major
decision by Williams. Coyle's impressive first-
period wins foreshadowed his dominance in
the championship match. Senior Dave Vollmer
contributed to the team's performance placing
fourth in the tournament at the 141-pound
level. ■ Navy slowed the team's momentum.

however, at the team's home opener in Godwin
Hall with a 21-15 win. The efforts of Coyle,
Cameron and junior D.J. Hockman were not
enough to propel the team to victory, but it did
provide motivation toward their match-up with
Virginia Military Instimte which paid off indefi-
nitely. Blowing away the cadets, the team easily
won 31-11 as Coyle, Vollmer, Williams, and
sophomores Jonathan Huesdash and Jim
O'Connor scored major decisions over their
opponents. ■ The team entered the Virginia
State Championships following the viaory where
they finished second among seven teams. Then
men continued to punish their opponents win-
ning seven of the remaining 1 1 meets, including
a 52-0 shutout over Howard. At home two weeks
later, the team rolled over American University
31-12, a win in which Vollmer and freshman
Brian Consolvo pinned their opponents back-
to-back, leading the team to a 4-0 record in
season. ■ "These are outstanding kids in the
program; they're not a team of individuals," said
Coach Jeff "Peanut" Bowyer. "At each meet,
someone new carried the ball." Illustrating the
coach's words, the team finished the year unde-
feated in the CAA, and were optimistic as they
entered the CAA Championships where they
hoped to defend their title. ■

Looking back over four years, I can honestly say that
much has changed. I have grown, and I have learned much
from other people. Getting through four years of constant
challenges doesn't come without the support of many people
for whom 1 am very thankful.

I am thankful for everyone on staff. This year was fuU
of growth. Growth in what the Bluestone was to become:
a more accurate reflection of all of us as students and all of
us as part of something bigger than ourselves. I thank every-
one who gave of their time, their sanity and of themselves.
Each staff member brought a part of themselves to this
book and it is greatly appreciated.

I am thankfiil for the CCM community. This commu-
nity welcomes all and encourages everyone to be themselves,
whoever they may be and wherever they may be on their
spiritual journey. I thank Father John for being a friend and
for challenging me "to go deeper" in search of knowledge
of myself and of my faith.

I am thanldul for Rachel, who was one of the first people
who welcomed me to be a part of the Bluestone. Through
these past four years, I have appreciated your friendship,
your help and your guidance.

I am thankful for Leah, whose talents and persistence
show that if you want something, you work hard to achieve
it, and you don't settle for anything less than perfection.
Thank you for sharing of yourself through your work.

And, finally, I am thank-
fid for my family. Thank you IB|l^Hf''N '^t^^_M^'\
for understanding my crazy
schedule, my commitment
to the book and for under-
standing me. Mom, through
your example, you have shown me to do my best. Thank you
for being a wonderful mother to me, Matthew and Kelly.
Dad, may you feel the love and support of family.

Change is supposed to be what college is all about. That's
what I've heard anyway. What I have experienced has been
life changing. I may not have retained every fact that I
learned in all of my classes, but 1 have learned that, when it
comes down to it, we all have a lot more in common than we
think. I hope you had the opportunity to be enlightened by
something in this book, and in turn, were able to see a
reflection of your own spirit as well. ■

Taking a break from studying, these students enjoy
the warm spring weather. ■ Photo by Steve Bolmg

Newly refurbished Cleveland Hall houses faculty and
department offices after construction was completed
over the summer, a A cheerleader's megaphone and
placard wait to be used to inspire spirit. ■ A Diamond
Duke rips a fastball up the middle for a base hit. ■ The
Marching Royal Dukes march in formation during a
halftime performance. '' A student tries to escape the
spray from the sprinklers watering the Quad during
the summer, a A yellow table tent provides students
at Gibbons Hall with campus information. ■ Photos
