Emulating the perfect geometry
of ancient Greek structures,
the Doric columns of Wilson
Hall lend classic architectural
O
m
elements to an American design.
Like its buildings, the university
EXEMPLIFIED a blend of old
and new styles, retaining the
o
best elements of the campus
o
and its curriculums while
improving with the changing
times. As a physical symbol of
the university and its commit-
ment to excellence, students
identified their college experience
with the familiar structure.

students were prohibited from

even walking on the grass of
the Quadrangle. Shift to the

was typically bustling with
activity. Students could be

catching some rays, playing
games and even attending class
when professors decided to
take advantage of particularly

As the 2,800 graduates of the Class of 2000 filed
into Bridgeforth Stadium in their traditional caps and
gowns, a crowd of approximately 23,000 friends and
family members looked down onto the procession with
pride and excitement. President Linwood H. Rose
conferred 2,645 undergraduate and 1 58 graduate degrees
during the 10 a.m. main ceremony on May 4, 2000.
The weather, unusually warm for early May,
brought beautiful blue skies and light winds to the
valley, allowing the audience to break out their hats,
sunscreen and summer wardrobes. After traditional
introductions, keynote speaker Richard H. Brown, CEO
or Electronic Data Systems Corp., a leading global
information technology services company, implored
graduates to use the power of the information age not
only to better themselves but also to better the world.
As the first graduates of the new century. Brown
told the class that they faced a new age of information
technology that has changed life faster than at any other
time in history. Power and connectedness, he continued,
had created vast opportunity and greater responsibility
on our part. "Power won't make you smarter. It won't
make you more successful. It won't make you happier.
And I don't believe it will make the world a better place
- power rarely has," said Brown. "But using this
power responsibly affords your generation amazing
opportunities - opportunities to help humankind. And
that will make the world a better place."
Brown encouraged graduates to give technology its
soul and heartbeat to ensure a bright and safer future
for humankind. In closing, he challenged graduates to go
out into the world to make that difference. "Technology
can give you the tools today to build an extraordinary
tomorrow. It can link your soul to the world's and light
up the sky. It can connect your heart to its people and
keep them safe," said Brown. "So, take that technology
and astound yourselves, astound your parents, astound
vour community, and astound the world." END

BY GULLEY
From the beginning, Lindsay Collingwood was born to be
a volleyball star. From playing asphalt club volleyball at age 10
to ending her career as the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA)
Player of the Year at age 2 1 , volleyball had always been a significant
part of her life.
Originally from San Diego, Calif., volleyball brought Lindsay
to the East Coast. "I have always wanted to go to school in the
east," Collingwood said. "So when I was recruited by JMU it was
the opportunity I had been waiting for." JMU was not the only
school with their eyes on Collingwood. The University of Connedcut
and the University of Illinois had also tried to recruit her at a
tournament in Las Vegas.
Growing up in San Diego was much different than growing
up in the east for the volleyball enthusiast. "Volleyball is really
big in California. The majority of the girls I played with in both
high school and on club continued volleyball in college," said
Collingwood. When asked how she first got involved in volleyball,
she blushed and said, "Actually my older sister played volleyball, and
the first team I ever played on was with her. She was my role
model and I wanted to be just like her." Her sister continued to
play at the college level while attending William and Mary, prompt-
ing Collingwood's interest in an East Coast school. "My sister has
played a very important role in my volleyball career. I don't know
what my parents are going to do now that me and my sister are
both done playing. They really enjoyed coming to the matches."

(continued from p. 29) Since her early days on the asphalt team,
family, coaches and friends could see Collingwood's potential
and skill for the sport. At age 13, she began playing for the San
Diego Volleyball Club under the instruction of Dave Whitaker.
During her four years at Torrey Pines High School, she played
for the club, junior varsity and varsity teams. Senior year brought
Collingwood distinction as the captain of the
varsity team under the instruction of Missy
McLinden. "To many people's surprise, club
was much more competitive than my high
school team. In fact, the club team is where I
got recruited from, not my high school team,"
said Collingwood.
The influence of volleyball was evident in
several aspects of Collingwood's life. Even her
childhood friends showed a similar enthusiasm
for the sport and went on to play in college as
well. "My best friend since the fourth grade, Julie
Cowley, now plays for Wake Forest. My friend
Paige Perry, a friend since the fifth grade, plays for
Dartmouth and my friend Allison Ross, a friend
since high school, plays for Wisconsin," she said.
Once Collingwood came to campus, she
quickly made close friends with fellow volleyball
players like Taryn Kirk. She and Taryn not only
shared a living area and a love of volleyball, but
also had the same classes. "We have been attached
at the hip for four-and-a-half years," said Kirk.
"Most people would have thought with us being
so close that there would have been competition
between us, but there isn't at all. We play different
—^ positions. I am a middle blocker and Lindsay is
an outside hitter."
Collingwood dedicated 1 5 hours a week to practice, had
two matches a weekend and one during the week as well.
"Lindsay is such a wonderful athlete. In 1996, she really
turned the volleyball program around and helped mold us into
the team that we are," said Kirk.
Collingwood won notable awards for her accomplishments in
volleyball throughout her college career. During her freshman
year, she was awarded CAA Rookie of the Year, led the CAA in
dig average (3.96) and was second in kill average (4.36), while
also setting school single season records in each category. Her
sophomore year, Collingwood was twice named the CAA player
of the week and ranked second in the CAA in both kill average
(4.47) and dig average (3.66) and tied for fourth in ace average
(.49). As a junior, Lindsay continued to set school records by
becoming the first player in the program's history to have more
than 1,000 kills and digs, (continued on p. 32)

(continued from p. 31) It was Collingwood's
senior year of college, however, that proved
to be her greatest. In her final season, she was
named the CAA and State Player of the Year
and the JMU Female Athlete of the Year.
According to Athletic Director JefF Bourne, her
athletic ability, leadership qualities and determi-
nation made her the perfect candidate for the
university's award "Lindsay served as an
inspiration for her team last year and pro-
vided the motivational leadership that was
imperative to win key matches under
pressure. She has wonderful ability and a deep
desire to achieve success," said Bourne. "This
combination provides her with the skills necessary to be a
natural leader and a role model for her team members. It's a
pleasure to have her as part of our family and share in her success."
Collingwood led the CAA in ace average (0.54) and led
the team in kills (455), digs (353) and service aces (61).
Collingwood finished her career holding 12 school records
including kills (1,872), digs (1,570 and aces (204). She was
awarded first team All-Conference and first team All-State all
four years.
Volleyball took Collingwood to high places and won her
coundess awards ever since she first learned to serve the ball.
Deciding not to continue as a participant in the sport after
college, Collingwood devoted time to assisting the varsity
and club teams, further inspiring her teammates. "Lindsay
was a great leader by example. I think everyone on the team
felt confident that if she was set, the ball was going to be put
away," said senior and fellow teammate Karla Gessler. "She
was well respected and feared in the CAA because of her
hitting and serving abilities, but she also had some of the best
defensive and passing skills in the conference, which kept us in
many games."
Gessler honored Collingwood when she said, "Lindsay
is the definition of a true volleyball player. She is a smart
player with a strong mental game. She is quick and she doesn't
give up. From her, I learned what it meant to compete." END

Despite the pouring

smad students
combined their talents
with that of the pat
McGee Band to put
together the
department's first-
ever rockumentary.
BYAIMEECOSTELLO MANDIE
The Pat McGee Band filled Wilson Hall on April
17 with impressive music and contagious energy
while students from the School of Media Arts and
Design (SMAD), dressed in black shirts, scurried
around the auditorium filming the concert tor their
senior production project.
The band made their first-ever appearance in
Wilson Hall at the request of students in SMAD 433,
an advanced digital video course, and SMAD 434, an
advanced audio production course, in order to put
together their senior production project and help raise
money for the SMAD scholarship fund. SMAD 433
and 434 had been part of the departments curriculum
for the last four years to provide seniors a chance to
produce something and get hands-on experience.
In April 1999, senior SMAD students from
the video and audio courses put together the video
"One Day/One University" as their senior project
and raised $10,000 for the scholarship fund. The
video, which was a huge success on campus when it
premiered in PC Ballroom, was also recognized with
two prestigious awards. The video (continued on p. 37)

category by the Broadcast Editor's Association and was
given the 2000 Council for Advancement and Support
of Education (CASE) award by the university for video
general information features.
Students of SMAD 433 and 434 wanted to do
something different from past classes and liked the idea
of creating a pilot video featuring a variety of different
Virginia-based bands. That idea fell through, however,
after complications arose with organizing and confirm-
ing the groups. Instead, the students came up with the
idea of doing a documentary on a local band.
The students looked at a few bands and then
decided on the Pat McGee band for two reasons. First,
Pat McGee loved coming to JMU and wanted the
chance to play in Wilson Hall. The band was also
well-known and well-liked by a good percentage of
students on campus. According to Beth Phares, the
concert production and promotions producer, "We
focused on the Pat McGee Band because we knew
that there were Pat McGee fans all over campus and
it was important to me, as a producer of the concert,
to have someone that at least some students would
really enjoy."
So with a little help from Chris Stup of the
University Program Board, they were able to contact
the band and pitch their idea. "When the video
department called, I was blown away with how much
they had put into the proposal and how much they
were going to get involved not only at the show but
all week leading up to the show," said the bands lead
singer Pat McGee.
After the band had been chosen, the hard work
began. The students only had three weeks to prepare
for the concert in which they had to promote, set-up
and coordinate the entire event. First, they sent a crew
of students out with the band for two weeks to see
what life on the road was like. Senior Dylan Boucherle
headed two day trips with the band. For the first trip
an eight-member crew followed the band to Charlottes-
ville, Va. for a show at the popular nightspot, Trax. The
second trip included a 12-member crew headed for
Northern Virginia. The students followed the band to
Falls Church where they played a concert at the State
Theatre and to Tysons Corner for a record signing and
acoustical set at Tower Records to promote their new
CD, Shine. While on the road, the students inter-
viewed members about what life had been like since
joining the band and talked to fans.
Back in Harrisonburg, students worked hard
promoting the concert around campus, talking to area
businesses to donate money and equipment, setting
up a post-production company and confirming the
use of Wilson Hall. In total, the SMAD students were
able to raise close to a quarter of a million dollars in
donated equipment and services. The donated video
equipment alone cost close to $100,000 and the audio
equipment was between $80,000 - $100,000.
When concert night finally arrived, it was pouring
outside, students were soaked to the bone but everyone
had a good time. The show lasted two hours and
featured songs from the band's new CD, but also
gave into the crowd's pleas for old favorites such as
"Rebecca," "Girl from Athens," (continued on p. 38)

(continued from p. 3~) and "Passion." Despite not selling
out the concert, many people were still able to enjoy
the concert, which was red live via the Internet.
After the concert was over, the students began to
edit and put the documentary together. The first step
required them to go to Washington, D.C. for post-
production editing with a former student and commu-
nication major, Henry Holdern of Interface Video
Group. Holdren and Interface donated all their time
and equipment to help the SMAD students edit the 12
videos from the concert. After editing, the students
came back to campus and threaded the videos together
into a 20-minute documentary.
The finished product featured three of the songs
plaved at the concert, "Rebecca," "Runaway, "Shine
and clips of the footage from on the road with the
band including interviews with band members and
tans. The band saw the video for the first time in the
tall and were extremely impressed with the product.
"During the show, the students were as professional, if
not more, than most 'professional' mobile recording
labs that I have ever been involved with. I just received
the final copy of the tape and we were nothing short
of blown away when I viewed it with the band. In fact
we have already sent it out to some industry rvpes for
promotional use about the band," said McGee. "I can't
thank the SMAD department and JMU enough for
such an amazing job.
In the end, the students raised another S10,000
for the SMAD scholarship fund, which brought the
total to S20.000, and hoped to start giving out
scholarships in the spring of 2001. "SMAD doesn't
have any rights to the video and of course it would be
nice to be able to make some more money for the
scholarship fund but right now it is just cool knowing
that otir names, the department's name and the school's
name is on the video that we all worked so very hard
on and are very proud of," said Boucherle. "It is an even
better feeling knowing that the band liked the video
and are considering using it to promote them."
There were 85 students and three faculty members
involved in the production of the documentary that
took a semester to assemble. Boucherle was the head
student producer ol the video, senior Beth Phares
handled concert promotion and senior Bryce Bigger
headed the production of the concert via the Internet.
Faculty members included SMAD 455 professor John
Woody who handled video production, SMAD 434
professor |ohn Fishell, in charge of audio production
and Chris Stup with the University Program Board.
"The video is finally completed and we are all
tired, dead tired, especially the kids. They worked real
hard on this project and did an outstanding job," said
Woody of his experience on the project. "This is truly a
student production. We, the faculty members, were
just there to help if they needed us." Woodv also hoped
to submit the video to the Academy of Television Arts
and Sciences tor Student Production, which is like the
Emmys tor students. "I think we have a good chance
to place with this video," said Woody. T END

Independent Bands
BY SHOWALTER CHRISTINA
Kicking oft the fourth annual conference of the
Mid-Atlantic College Radio Conference (MACRoCk),
bands with colorful names like Black Beetle,
Buckledown, and Infectious Organisms invaded
Harrisonburg for two days of good tunes and good
times. Traveling from as far away as California to
play at the event coordinated by 88.7 FM, WXJM,
MACRoCk was one of the largest college music
conferences not only on the East Coast, but also in
the United States.
With music venues on campus and around
Harrisonburg, MACRoCk included more than 85 live
performances by musicians in the genre of rock, loud
rock, punk, jazz, folk, hip-hop, and dance. Director
Laurel Deppen and Assistant Director Meg Ruane
helped shape the conference with the assistance of
WXJM members and volunteers.
"I have run MACRoCk for the past two years and
I am continually amazed at the coordination abilities
of the WXJM students and of the kindness of the
MACRoCk attendants," said Deppen. "The overall
vibe of the conference is one of respect for independent
thought and independent living. We host thousands of
people in this tiny town, and we never have security
problems. I hope MACRoCk is a symbol of the good
in todays society and I hope this conference proves music
is the true essence of being for all."

tionally did business on a smaller scale financially and
focused more on the music instead of the politics and
business aspect of the major labels.
During one of the first events of the weekend. Black
Beede played a three-song set live that was broadcast
over the radio station. Michael Tighe, guitarist for the
band, and his band mates learned of the conference
from their manager and thought it sounded like a good
idea. In addition to live performances, the weekend
included a label exposition, workshops, panels on music,
and guest speakers. The label exposition gave bands and
fans a chance to interact and learn more about each
other. Music panels involved such topics as the media's
association with music and loud rock.
"The panel served as a discussion of college radio
and its importance in that we serve as a means of
breaking bands, exposing artists, and working to keep the
loud rock scene alive," said Suzanna Paradise, a partici-
pant in the loud rock panel.
MACRoCk provided a place for fans, artists, labels,
and other music industry persons to converge, meet,
listen, and inform each other about any aspect of the
music they held dear. The informal nature of the
weekend placed emphasis on awareness and the music
itself Fans were given the chance to interact with band
members before or after the show, at the merchandise
table, or later in the conference. By becoming
submerged in the weekend and its events, one could
hear complete strangers striking up conversations to
discuss everything from their favorite bands of the
conference to the relevant issues of the music business.
Visiting student, Marjorie McKay from Elon
College came away with more than a favorable
impression of MACRoCk and its coordinators. "I got to
meet a lot of people with similar interests and different
backgrounds. JMU must be a pretty awesome school
to host such an event like MACRoCk," she said. END

"Let me win. But if I
cannot win, let me be
brave in my attempt."
-The Special
Olympics motto
BYLEIGHTODD
A memorable occasion always occurred when
students came together with their community. When
the Special Olympics brought their games to Bridgerorth
Stadium on April 30, students from many clubs,
athletic teams, fraternities and sororities and classes
came out to support the handicapped men, women
and children of Shenandoah, Page, and Rockingham
counties, as well as the city of Harrisonburg.
The Special Olympics, founded in 1968, consisted
ot year-round training and competition, and boasted
over one million athletes in its 22-year history. Their
motto, "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be
brave in my attempt" encompassed its purpose which
was to provide persons with mental retardation with
opportunities to become useful and productive
citizens while boosting their self-esteem and
physical fitness. More than 150 countries had an
accredited Special Olympics program and showcased
participants from the age of eight to persons well
into their adult years with a specific mental or physical
problem.
Participants competed in events similar to track
and field, such as the long jump, the high jump, the
shot put, and the 100-meter and 50-meter race.
Dr. Steve Carney, assistant professor of Sports Manage-
ment, was in charge of the event. He had previously
worked with the Special Olympics in Florida and
Alabama, and enjoyed helping because it was "an
event that brought JMU and Harrisonburg
together." Athletes came from all over Virginia to
participate in the state meet. Carney worked closely
with Daniel Leake, the northwest section director
of Special Olympics in Virginia, to organize the
event. "Daniel is very supportive ol myself, the
student organizations, and JMU's involvement with
Special Olympics," said Carney.
Leake, who was in charge of getting the athletes
in the right heat and divisions, felt that the "number
of volunteers was outstanding, (continued on p. 47)

We had a tremendous amount of support." However,
both Leake and Carney wished that there had been
more spectators cheering on the athletes. Although the
crowd was larger than in past years, it was still small
and seemed even smaller in the football stadium due
to its size. "In order to gain a bigger audience, there
needed to be more publicity," said Leake. "The
stadium also has something to do with it. The stadium
seats around 10,000 and even if there were 1 ,000
spectators, it still looked like it was only a few."
Students involved in sports and organizations
came out to help with the event, primarily serving as
buddies to the athletes. Each buddy helped his or her
athlete get to each event and cheered them on while
they competed. The women's soccer club, cheerlead-
ers, football players, and the wrestling team were
just a few of the teams that came out to support the
special athletes.
Jonathan McCall, the events torch bearer and a
participant, was followed by cheerleaders Brian Mabry,
Adam Weiss, and Nick Salerno. "I came out to help.
We just follow him around to each of his events and
cheer him on," said Mabry. Senior Tony Washington, a
member of Phi Epsilon Kappa, was also local resident
Daniel Kimberly's buddy. "I'm just here to have
fun," said Washington.
PEK has helped with Special Olympics for the
past couple of years and usually helped with promot-
ing, organizing and managing the event. "PEK, the
o)E7Rffl[?D(
professional organization for Kinesiology, made up a
large part of the management team," said Carney.
"Students majoring in Exercise Science, Physical
Education, and Recreation and Sports Management
donated several hours of their own time to help make
this event a success."
As the event director, Carney was grateful to all
the people who helped him in making the day so
successful and special for the participants. "My effort
is just a small part of this event. I do not and could
not do everything without the help of previous event
directors, the Special Olympics Section Director and
a very long list of individual and group volunteers,"
said Carney.
As a result of his successful coordination of the
event, Carney was invited to make a presentation to
Special Olympic regional directors, area council
members, event directors and volunteers in
September at the Special Olympics State Confer-
ence in Richmond on "Developing Partnerships
with Colleges and Universities."
The success of the event generated more volun-
teers and spectators than in past years and coordinators
hoped to continue the trend in the years to come.
"I'd like to see this event evolve into a truly
memorable experience for the athletes, as well as the
students, faculty, and staff of JMU and the Harrisonburg
community. My goal is to improve the quality of the
event every year," said Carney. I end

of the
BYTEISHAGARRETT
Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was poised to become
the champion of the world. He was young and quickly
becoming a master in the boxing ring. In 1966, while
making plans for a second fight for the middleweight
championship, Carter and a friend, John Artis, were
charged with a triple murder in Paterson, N.J. They
both had unshakeable alibis, but the prosecution relied
on two key witnesses who were coincidendy petty thieves
that later recanted their testimony. Although the
murder weapons were never found and Carter and
Artis never admitted to the crimes, they were
sentenced for the crimes anyway.
In 1974, Carter published his story, "The Sixteenth
Round: From Number 1 Contender to #45472," while
he was an inmate at Rahway State Prison. The book
led to celebrity attention about his incarceration and to
Bob Dylans song about the injustice that had occurred.
A second trial ensued and he was sent back to prison
until he was freed in 1985. (continued on p. 50)

(continued from p. 49) Ordinarily on a cold winter
evening, students would rush by Wilson Hall on the
way to dinner or to a late night class. However, on
February 29, the masses huddled around the doors or
Wilson Hall. Cadets at the door turned them away
warning that there was going to be a fire code
violation. But still they milled around outside hoping
to catch a glance of the man called "The Hurricane".
After seeing the recently released film, "The
Hurricane" with Denzel Washington, students knew
the power of his story and wanted to hear the man's
own words on his life. The doors of Wilson opened at
6:10 p.m. and by 6:20 p.m. the auditorium was
filled to capacity. Cadets directed students to overfill
areas in Taylor and Warren where remote feeds were
setup. Those who lived on campus were told that
they could see the speech on campus channel 43.
Some students expressed dismay at the lack of space.
"I am really glad that students turned out for this,"
said senior Kathleen Trent. "I'm just upset I didn't
make it into Wilson to see him speak."
At 7 p.m. most of the overfill areas were full as well
and when the introductions were made, Carter was met
on stage by a standing ovation. During his speech, he
tackled many issues facing the campus as well as the
world. Carter first learned "to speak with his fists"
when he was child. He had a debilitating stutter that
kept him silent and when he was teased, he did not
know how to fight with words. Instead, he would act
out. He stressed the need to listen to everyone, and to
acknowledge differences but not to let them be a point
for exclusion. By the time he learned to contain his fury
in a boxing ring in Germany, Hurricane Carters fists
spoke volumes. His opponents were pummeled swiftly
and mercilessly. He won two European light-welter-
weight championships, and during the same period
enrolled in a Dale Carnegie speech program and began
studying Islam. It was the beginning of two alternating
threads - fighting and learning - which would run
through much of Carter's career and later confinement.
Carter spoke of the different races as tribes of
different colors. He explained the tribes' different
evolutions and how they function in today's society. He
asked students not to be bitter and to look at each
other with compassion and understanding of different
cultures. He also talked about how the education
system was failing young people. The young man that
helped him to his freedom, Lesra Martin, had been
going to school all his life yet he could barely read
when his Canadian family adopted him as a teenager.
Carter also covered the prison system. Being a
member of several boards including the South-
ern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta, the
Association in Defence of the Wrongfully
Convicted in Toronto, and the Alliance for
Prison Justice in Boston, he had a lot to say about
the way the system was ran. He also rallied against
the death penalty and Texas governor as Carter put
it, George "Death" W Bush for killing so many

SEVEN CLUB SPORTS TRAVEL THE UNITED STATES TO COMPETE IN (ATI AND NAL TOURNAMENTS.
BY O'PONNFII
Imagine driving or flying somewhere completely different
to experience the adrenaline rush or competing nationally to
represent your college. Where would you have rather gone-
Florida, Georgia , or Nevada? For the men's club soccer, baseball,
roller hockey, volleyball teams, and the women's club basketball,
volleyball, and Softball teams, it didn't matter. Each team radiated
strong skills that assured them that they could compete with
anyone in the country and gave them the experience of
traveling and competing like a varsity level team.

The club soccer team had a successful season, going 6-0
and qualifying for the National Intramural Recreation Sports
Association (NIRSA) Open National Championship held in
Statesboro, Ga. The Dukes were one of two teams to represent
the East Region at the tournament held at Georgia Southern
University in November. Sixteen teams from across the United
States participated in the tournament but the Dukes
walked away with the national title.
The team's participation was made possible through
fundraising and University Recreation matching their
efforts for every $500 they raised. Players agreed that it
was amazing to go into the tournament as a school
with a smaller name and then play and defeat teams
that were in a higher bracket such as the University of
Virginia (UVA) and Florida State University (FSU).
There were four brackets of four teams at the
tournament with three qualifying games that
determined those who went on to the championship
game. In the semi-finals, the men played exception-
ally well against UVA and won 4-1. In the finals,
they shutout FSU 2-0. An added bonus for winning the
tournament was that the whole team received free warm-up
outfits and uniforms.
Four players obtained awards for their excellence such as
Sean Mannion, who was named MVP of the tournament. Greg
Worwick, Cameron Stoddart, and goalie Christian LaFreire were
among 1 1 others who made the All-Tournament team. "In the final
against FSU, the unity of the team was incredible as the momentum
just kept building with each goal and we knew that we were headed
towards the number one position," said freshman Chris Hogan.

Playing a sport on roller blades and chasing after a puck
was a typical day's work for the roller hockey players who's
intense dedication helped them qualify for Nationals. Con-
tinuing their tradition as one of the top teams on the East
Coast, the team ranked fourth and was still eligible to win.
The Collegiate Roller Hockey League National Championships
were held in Tampa Bay, Fla. from April 12-17. The beautiful
locale allowed the team to reside along the white beaches in the
hot sun for five days, taking them away from their usual college
routines. Most of the players flew to Tampa but there were a
few who drove down caravan style in their own vehicles.
The A and B teams played among 32 other teams from across
the nation and placed 1 6th in the tournament. Colorado
University, Ohio State, and the University of California were
among some or their best competition. "A great accomplishment

The JMU women's club Softball team traveled 2000 miles
to Ogden, Utah to play in the Softball Club Nationals
tournament hosted by Weber State University. Although the
Dukes were the only team in the tournament from the East Coast,
it did not stop them from claiming the National Championship.
The tournament opened with a round robin where the
Dukes won two of four games beating Idaho State University
4-2 and the University of Southern California (USC) 4-0.
Then, the women lost to Air Force and Weber State University.
Club President Jen Mattison said, "Obviously we were
disappointed to lose because we knew we could beat both
teams but we used the losses to our advantage in order to
refocus. We pulled together as a team and concentrated on the
positive things that happened in those games in order to focus
on the games ahead."

lead the team to a 4-0 victory. After
the round robin, the Dukes headed
into double elimination bracket play as
the number two seed behind Weber
State University. The Dukes beat Air
Force 2- 1 , Idaho State 9-7 and avenged
their earlier loss to Weber State 2-0. With
the win over the Wildcats, the Dukes
were bound for the championship game
and faced the USC Trojans who had battled back from last
place in the tournament. The Dukes won the game 9-2 behind
the solid pitching of Casey Quinn and an 1 1 hit performance
by the Dukes' offense. "Winning Nationals is a great experience
for our team. It sets the stage for our club next year by proving
we have the talent and initiative to make things happen, win
and compete with just about any team in the nation" said Club
Vice President Casey Quinn.
The club baseball team experienced the true meaning of "sweet
revenge" when they returned to the Tarheels Invitational in Chapel
Hill, N.C. in April. After getting eliminated in their first game two
years earlier in the same tournament, the Dukes surprised everyone,
winning their first three games and then the championship game
16-9 against the University of Richmond.
The Dukes opened the tournament against the University
of Maryland and won 1 1-1. Then they had to face North Carolina
State, the same team who had sent them home defeated two years
before. "The NC State game was big for us. We still wanted revenge
for slaughtering us the first time we played them," said junior
catcher Geoff Dahlem. The Dukes got their revenge beating NC
State in a close game 4-1 . Next, they beat the University of North
Carolina at Wilmington to send them to the championship game.

The men's club volleyball cook one team of 1 0 members from
their A team to Nationals held in Reno, Nev. from April 4-9.
The trip turned out to be an expensive endeavor even with their
efforts to fundraise. However, a great team effort was made in
order to organize the players' trip, proving the strong camarade-
rie that existed between the team members. Despite high costs,
the players felt it was worth the experience and the chance to visit
a different part of the country.
The team played eight matches in three days, winning
three and losing five during the tournament to place 45th out ot
60 teams, as they did the previous year in Chicago. Among the
players named to the first team All-Conference were middle
hitter, sophomore Jimmy Moubarak and defensive specialist,
junior Patrick Shugart. The second team All-Conference players
were setter, junior Chris Gordon and outside hitter, senior Brent
Roberts, who also started every
match at Nationals as the
most consistent player.
This experience also
allowed the team to meet other
volleyball players from all over
the country, which added to the
enrichment of the trip. One ol
the best tournament moments,
Cordon recalled, was cheering
for the women's team so loud that a girl from another team
approached them and asked if they would cheer tor her team while
they played. "At this tournament we were able to build a more
supportive relationship with the women's club team, which
brought the two teams closer," said Gordon.
Men's club volleyball was not the only team to leave an
impression on Reno, Nev. The women's team also made a
name for themselves at the 16th Annual National Intramural-
Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA) Collegiate Volleyball
Tournament. The team traveled by plane to compete at the Reno/
Sparks Convention Center from April 4-9 and did extremely
well going into the championship. Ranked 24th coming into the
competition, the team left ranked 17th out of the 36 teams in the
women's division. After first day defeats by the University of
Colorado and the University of Kentucky, the team came back to
beat Central qualifying to play in a challenge round. Defeats
brought low spirits but "no matter how bad things were everyone
kept their head in the game and gave it their best and this was
admired by a lot of other schools," said junior Karhy Munoz.
Despite not getting into the the championship bracket,
the women, ranked fourth in the consolation round, were able
to pull together to beat both East Carolina University, ranked first,
and the University ot Maryland, ranked third. This placed the
team into the silver bracket where they preceded to defeat
Perdue in two games before succumbing in the quarterfinals to
UVA in three close matches.
The team was able to have fun on the court, starting their
games with personal jokes, smiles, and admirable attitudes. "We
brought enthusiasm to the team by cheering for each other when
we got 'aces' and the support trom the guy's team was incredible
while we were away from home," said sophomore Katie Zibell.
One of the best aspects about the championship was the fact
that, after being the underdogs their first two years of attendance,
they had the chance to prove themselves and earn the recognition
they deserved.
The Women's Club Basketball team won the East Coast
Women's Basketball League this past season by defeating the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 79-55, in the
championship game ot the league tournament. The tourna-
ment was held at the University of Maryland on November 14.
The competition hosted the University of Pennsylvania, Loyola
College, the University of Maryland, the University of Rich-
mond, North Carolina State, and UNC Chapel Hill. "We have
accomplished a great deal considering last year was our first year
of actually playing games in a competitive league, and now we
are one of the best teams in the area and ranked up against
UVA, one of the best teams in the league," said sophomore
Kim Wittlieb.
The women's team played outstanding throughout the
tournament winning all eight games they played. Key players
included senior and top scorer, Laura Flynn, and sophomores
Wittlieb, Jess Nadeau, and Susan Korman.
One of the most memorable moments for many of the players
included the intensity that filled the tournament when the women
came back after being down 19 points in the first halt against
UNC to win the tournament. [i FEND

As soon as we set foot on the soil of the Queen's
country, we started walking. We walked to parks,
castles, pubs, theatres, mansions, museums and
galleries. From national landmarks to buried pieces
of the Roman wall, our six weeks in London left the
30 students of Summer in London 2000 well-educated,
cultured and exhausted.
This particular study abroad program had been
termed a "cultural boot camp" by past participants and
leader Doug Kehlenbrink. Students who chose this
program had to be ready to cram an entire semesters
worth of sight-seeing and classes into their short time
living in Madison House (dubbed by many as "Mad
House") on Gower Street in the heart of London. A
short walk from Covent Garden, Picadilly Circus and
Regents Park, and a tube ride away from Camden
Market and The Globe, Madison House was the perfect
location for students determined to see everything
the city had to offer.
And we certainly got an eyeful. From modern
celebrities like Ralph Fiennes, Andre Aggassi, George
Michael and Prince Charles himself, to celebrities

of the past such as William Shakespeare, King
Henry VIII, and Princess Diana, the students got
their fill of famous faces. With tickets to several
plays a week, the ballet, jazz clubs, and tea at the
Waldorf, we were given a virtual VIP pass into the
true London experience. Unlike a regular school
semester, there were also scheduled events on the
weekends, such as side trips to Hastings, Cam-
bridge University and Stone Henge and an entire
weekend in Bath. With only a four-day break in the
trip to travel outside of England, students were off
to France, Ireland and Scotland to take in more of
the European countryside and city-life.
Aside from the classes and scheduled outings,
we learned about the nightlife of Leicester Square,
the roudy football fans of the local pubs and the
American music and dancing of The Sports Cafe.
The combined social life and scholastic life of the
students combined to make our Summer in London
experience unforgettable through
cultural experiences and new
friendships. T END

It was the best three weeks of my life. Instead
of hitting the beach with my friends last summer, I
took to the shores of Scotland with some fellow
students. Dr. Jack Butt led the incredible voyage to
the country of Scotland where we made many small
trips and visited lots of castles. The 13 of us traveled
all over the beautiful countryside, including trips to
St. Andrews, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, and
Fort William.
Our goal with this trip was to immerse ourselves
in Scottish culture. In everything we did, we tried to
accustom ourselves to Scottish society to better under-
stand the people of Scotland and their lifestyles. We
were constantly trying to become part of the Scottish
society without losing our American identity.
The entire time we felt as if we had no worries.
There was a small-town atmosphere wherever we
went. I missed that the most, the old-world style or
society. We would be walking downtown through a
major city, but all around were natural wonders.
Beauty was everywhere, and it just seemed to appear
out of nowhere.
My absolute favorite parts of the trip were the
sights we saw. Dunottar Castle was my favorite place.
It was amazing. I stepped off or the bus and was
immediately enthralled by the presence of this castle.
With the backdrop of the North Sea in the horizon,
it sat separated from the rest of the land by a surround-
ing chasm.
I'm not one to return to places right away. There
are too many other places I'd like to see first. In a few
years though, I'd like to go back... definitely. :i : END

Deciding to study abroad in Australia was the
best choice I made since deciding to come to JMU.
Don't get me wrong, I love JMU. But what can
replace the experiences
1 had Down Under? Of
seeing the Queen of
England waving to her
subjects at the world
famous Sydney Opera
House, or feeding and
burping a joey and a baby
wombat? Or running
with 30 friends down a
giant sand dune into the
ocean . . . completely naked? I was able to do these
things and so much more, as a result of my time abroad.
I have many good memories, as well as pictures,
of the variety of places I visited. I was lucky enough
to be able to visit several major cities, as well as small
country towns and farms. I drove along the Great
Ocean Road, which is considered to be one of the
most beautiful roads in the world. However, none
of these experiences matched the memories I have of
the people I met. Without them, the trip would have
lost most of its meaning.
I lived in Women's College, an Australian dorm,
where I was surrounded by Australians, as well as
other girls studying abroad. I was exposed to new
traditions, such as our weekly formal dinners where
we were required to dress up and wear graduation
gowns to dinner followed by a speaker.
I cheered for the Woozers as we competed
against the other colleges in everything from crew to
debating. Australia does not have a Greek system so
colleges incorporate a feeling of brotherhood into
their events. I went on a camping trip to the beach
with friends I made at college. From them I learned
about Australian issues, not the aboriginal dancing I
had seen during orientation, but what peers my
own age thought about the issue of reconcilliation
between the native aborigines and the rest of the
population.
What I learned during the time 1 was there can't
be found in any book or journal article, but those
lessons and relationships will be with me forever. I
can't wait to go back! END

I decided to spend the second semester i
junior year in Galway, Ireland and would recommend
it to anyone. The academic environment of College
in Ireland is lax to say the least, leaving students
with more than enough time to fully explore Ireland's
countryside as well as it's lively pub scene. The
customary four-day college school week enabled me
to experience all the beauty, history, and of course
Guinness, that Ireland had to offer.
I ran out of money long before I ran out of
things to do. There were some events that I could
have done without, like getting mugged, but I had
such a good time that these obstacles did nothing to
detract from my experience. Besides, they made for
good stories when I got home.
The great thing about studying in Europe was
the affordable access you have to the entire region.
In addition to my travels in Ireland, I also took
advantage of a three-week spring break which
allowed me to visit Italy, France, and Spain. All-in-
all, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience, and
though I love JMU, taking a semester off to study
abroad was well worth it. i END

TO THE BIG APPLE
BYMICHAELBUSTARD
"Hi, this is Regis Philbin and welcome to 'Who
Wants to be a Millionaire."'
Little did I know that when this message greeted
me over the phone I would be appearing on the
number one show in America.
After calling the Millionaire hotline and giving
some information about myself, I was told I would be
given three "fastest finger" questions to put into
proper order if I were to advance past the first round.
To my disbelief, I got all three questions right, was
asked to select a tape date and told a time when, (if I
was randomly chosen), I would be called back to
participate in the second round. Luckily, I had no
classes during the second round callback window so
I was free to sit in my room and be nervous.
All of a sudden, the phone rang. Could this be
it? I answered it and the woman at the other end
asked for me, totally butchering my name. I thought,
"Great, some telemarketer tying up the phone lines!"
So I told her that Michael Bustard was not around
and asked for a message. The woman replied, "Oh,
well this is 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire.' Could
you see if he is around somewhere?" I told her I'd
check and I put the phone down. I could barely breathe,
but I picked it up again and told her I just got back.
SITTING ON THE STEPS

heart of Harrisonburg,
Michael Bustard reflects
on his adventure to New
York as a "Who Wants to
be a Millionaire"
contestant. After three
telephone rounds,
Bustard got the chance
to go to New York and
compete for $1 million.

She informed me that I had been randomly selected
and gave me a number to call to compete in the
second round. The second round was two days later
and if I was one of the top 10 contestants, I would
be on the show. After the call, I was pretty excited
but I was quick to keep everything in perspective. I
wouldn't get down on myself if I didn't get all the
answers correct because they would probably be
much harder than the first round.
The automated voice said that there would be
five questions and the top 10 contestants would be
called from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. that night. The first
question was fairly simple but I knew that the first
was always easy. To my surprise, the other questions
weren't that difficult. I had to arrange various world
mountain ranges in order starting in England and
moving east. As I reached the last question, I figured
I had gotten one of the previous four wrong and
that the fifth had to be hard. To my happiness, the
final question was, "Put these MTV shows in order
in which they first aired, starting with the earliest:
'House of Style,' 'Real World,' 'Yo! MTV Raps' and
'Beavis and Butthead."' I am no MTV junkie but it
didn't hurt that I was 20 and I grew up in the MTV
Generation. As the clock (continued on p. 64)

from the burg
TO tlie blL* ArrLL (continued from p. 62) approached 6:30 p.m., I
figured I had not made the top 10. I was walking
out the door when the phone rang. A woman started
to tell me that she was from the show and that she
had some legal things to read to me. I figured it was
standard procedure for all possible contestants. After
reading some dull stuff, she said, "Ok, well we'll fly
you and a guest here and put you up in a hotel."
I said, "So wait, I am on the show?" She just
replied, "Yes, sir." My pulse increased from 75 to
about 130, and I really can't remember what else she
said. I told her that it would be more convenient to
have a car pick me up at my house because I only live
rwo-and-a-half-hours from New York City and that
I would be taking my mom with me.
As soon as I was off the phone, I called my mom.
She knew I had gotten into the second round and
when she answered, I just said, "Pack your bags." She
was really happy because I had promised her I would
take her to New York for Valentine's Day if I made
it that far.
That Monday, our driver Julio showed up about 20
minutes late, but the ride couldn't have been smoother.
He happened to be the driver for John Carpenter,
the first million dollar winner and he assured me that
I would do fine on the show the next day.
After he dropped us off, we had some free time
in New York so we checked out Central Park and toured
the city. Back at the hotel, I had to get my clothes
approved (no stripes, no logos, no white shirts). One
of the contestants actually had to go buy a new shirt
because all three of his were disapproved. We also
got $150 for meals and expenses in addition to a
"Millionaire" shirt.
The next day, we woke up early to get breakfast.
While we were getting ready to leave, I got a phone
call from my girlfriend. She had come up to New York
with her mom and a friend to see the show. Unfortu-
nately, they couldn't sit in the studio and had to sit
in an overflow section and watch it on a screen.
We left for the studio and I had no idea what
to expect. The other contestants were really friendly
and talkative, which helped the day move smoothly.
We spent the whole morning being interviewed and
asked about our interests so, if we got into the "hot
seat," Regis wouldn't blankly stare at us. We also
watched "Millionaire" from other countries in our
morning session. To my surprise, the English host
kissed one of his contestants when she got a question
right. At that point, I started to wonder if I wanted
to make it to the hot seat after all.
After lunch, we went into the studio to run
through what was likely to happen later that night.
We got our chair assignments and I got chair six,
right by the entrance where Regis enters. After
practicing some "fastest finger" questions I knew I
had a realistic chance of getting into the "hot seat"
because I answered one in 3.16 seconds.
The hardest thing that day was definitely hoisting
myself into the "hot seat." It was way too high for
all the contestants and one of the larger guys almost
tipped over while trying to literally hop into it.
Dinner was great but very odd in one respect; one
of my fellow contestants had been on the show before
and he spent all of dinner playing on an imaginary
keyboard. My mom and I thought he was crazy, but
later when he won $125,000 we realized he had been
practicing the combinations of A,B,C and D.
After dinner, it was time for everyone to get
"camera ready," or in other words, get miked, made-up
and have our hair styled. My makeup job only took
a few minutes but my hair was an ordeal. The woman
didn't know how to get it to look right so she gave
me the brush. Five seconds later, I was set to make
my national television debut.
As we met Regis backstage, everyone stood in a
line and introduced themselves. When I gave him
my name, Regis exclaimed, "Mike Bustard, great to
meet you!" He seemed pretty enthusiastic to meet
me. Maybe he thought I was an old college buddy.
As we paraded onto stage, I saw my mom in
her seat and my girlfriend and her mom in the
audience. Apparently the staff got the message that
they were my guests and gave them studio seats.
Regis strolled into the studio and messed up
right away. Fortunately, the show was taped so he
was able to try again. Speaking of mess-ups, he really
butchered one contestant's name about four or five
times, but the guy was pretty cool about it. I really
got the impression that Regis was a down-to-earth
guy who was genuinely funny.
As for my performance, it was less than
spectacular. I didn't get any of the "fastest fingers"
right. In my own defense, the questions were set up
differendy than the way we see the questions at home.
I really wasn't nervous at all. I was enjoying the whole
thing and hoped that everyone would get some money
if they got into the "hot seat." During the show, I
was talking to the girl next to me who happened to
be about my age and lived in California. It was great
to have someone to talk to during off-air time that
wasn't taking herself too seriously. Yes, we had a lot
of off-air time. In fact, the show took about two-
and-a-half hours to tape.
After the last question and post show wrap-up,
iwe went into the green room and everyone received
"Millionaire" checks signed by Regis himself. I met
up with my mom, girlfriend, and her mom and her
friend and we went out to dinner. It was nice to just
talk about the whole experience and realize how
fortunate I was. We left for home the next day and
I got back to school that night. There were banners
all over my door and hall congratulating me and I
stayed up late that night telling everyone about my
opportunity and yes, my final answers. THtEND
IN HIS SECOND SEASON

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

BYJ AM ESDAVI D • Cancun provided hot sun and hot
times for students looking for a steamy destination
for spring break. • Junior Tamara Klein trekked off to
a Mexican beach town for many reasons, one of them
for the sheer beauty of our southern neighbor. "I had
been to Mexico before and I actually think its really
pretty," said Klein. • Last minute changes and
obstacles did not stop her from reaching the tropical
paradise. "When my friends mentioned going to
Cancun, I thought that sounded awesome," said
Klein. "Then those original friends decided that they
didn't have the funds and were going to go to Florida
instead. I had already gotten excited about going to
Cancun, and so when a different group of friends said
they were going, I hopped on with their group at the
last minute." • While there, she enjoyed all that
Cancun had to offer including snorkeling, going to
the beaches, horseback riding, and venturing out at
night to the bars and clubs. The Cancun nightlife
offered festivities that literally lasted until the break
of dawn. "If you drive by bars at like 6:00 a.m. or 7:00
a.m., you can still see drunk people grinding," said
Klein. "By that time, its light outside so it's pretty nuts."
• Klein enjoyed the variety of activities available to her
in the tropical locale. "Cancun has many different
kinds of bars from sports bars to nightclubs, I definitely
went to all of them and they all [rocked]." «The bar
scene provided an opportunity to rate the men of
spring break. "For the most part, the men I met were all
pretty nice," said Klein who also observed how some
guys tried to take advantage of certain situations.
"Some guys I saw were pretty sketchy.
Those ones gravitated toward naive college
students. Guys are pretty much the same all
over, but in Cancun, its a different world.
Everyone is totally laid back and out to
have a great time." • When you mix
alcohol, college students and raging
hormones, you can expect some pretty
rowdy times. "I saw all kinds of stuff. I
can't even count how many penises or
breasts I saw," she said. "They have wet T-
shirt contests which always end up being 'no
T-shirt contests.' I saw a sex position contest, which was
supposed to be a clothed one, but in order to win any
of the contests one had to get naked. Everyone was
chanting skin to win.' At some places the bartenders
have tip jars that say 'Tits or Tips.' So, nudity is definitely
encouraged. In Cancun, people like to take off their
clothes." »The "clothing optional" mentality of spring
break wasn't necessary to have fun though. "It's
definitely a good time, and you definitely do not have
to get naked in order to have a fabulous time." • By
sharing her Cancun experience, Klein broke a cardinal
rule of her spring break destination. "In Cancun they
have this little expression, 'What happens in Cancun,
stays in Cancun,'" said Klein. "Everybody knows that
little motto and uses it frequently." theend

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

that take place every night. Photo courtesy of Aimee Costello
Ferguson, Mike Dealy and Murray Douglas won that
night and continued to win the contest for six nights
straight becoming the beer chug champions and
breaking a Rumrunners record. • The highlight of our
trip was the "booze cruise" that included a beautiful
sunset, snorkeling and all-you-can-drink beer. The
cruise started at 4:30 p.m. and sailed out to the world's
third largest reef. Since we weren't allowed to drink
until we finished snorkeling, we brought our
towels out to sunbathe on the ride to the reef. We
found out very quickly, however, that on a catamaran,
there isn't a dry spot on the boat and were drenched
after only two minutes into the ride. Once we reached
the reef, those of us that weren't seasick put on our
snorkel gear and jumped into the crystal clear blue
waters of the Atlantic Ocean. After snorkeling, we got
back on the boat and started drinking while enjoying
the sunset. Just imagine trying to drink and stand on
a catamaran while moving through choppy waters.
It wasn't the easiest thing to do but definitely the
funniest. • Despite a minor moped accident, staying
in a hotel that was under constmction and one or two
nights of too many margaritas, we all had a good
time and managed to come away without too
many embarrassing or regrettable stories. THEEND
BYJANEBILLS • Instead of heading south for spring
sreak, the Overtones decided to venture north to share
heir music with some a cappella groups at other schools.
They ttaveled to Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Vlassachusetts and New York on a week-long tour.
The group sang with a mix of high school and
ollegiate a cappella groups in a variety of settings,
ncluding a pub in Harvard Square and a breakfast cafe
n Providence. • As well as entertaining others, the
Jvertones took the time to entertain themselves by
ittending a Celtics game, touring Harvard and the
urrounding shops, shopping at the Providence Mall,
ating at Quincy Market in Boston, and staying up way
oo late at hotels and schools they visited. "Even though
ve spent spring break in cold weather, my heart was
varmed because I was singing with my best friends,"
said senior Jeff Vanags. • Several members of the
Overtones from the northeast also had the opportunity
to sing for their parents during the spring break tour.
"My parents loved hearing us since they could never
get down to school for a concert," said sophomore Erin
Chicosky from Long Island, N.Y. • Traveling in a large,
cramped van, the Overtones had plenty of time to
bond. With their trusty mascot Bart Simpson on the
dashboard, they drove over 1 ,000 miles during the
course of their tour. "Because we were forced to
spend many hours in the car together, we really got to
know some of the newer members better and we
became closer as a group," said senior Jane Bills. All
members agreed that "Sing Break 2000" was not only
a great musical experience, but also an amazing week
of friendship and fun. THEEND

We all survived the last anxious hours of class and hit

and four residents of 339 West Bruce St. set off on a
non-stop, 14-hour trek. Our destination: New

year, Mardi Gras. Anticipating crazy exhibitionist
acts, bead throwing, and all-out drinking, we roared
south on 1-81. By the time we reached Alabama,
delirium had set in for most of us. Long hours in the
car on top of minimal sleep during midterms were
looking to break us. • We pulled into a 24-hour
Waffle King to eat with some locals and rest the car.
We were halfway to New Orleans, but first carmate
Shawn Cunningham pointed out we needed to make
a slight detour to Kentwood, La. Being so close to
Louisiana we had to check out the hometown of
superstar Britney Spears. You would have never
known it walking through the dilapidated small
town, except for a banner hanging outside the
neighborhood furniture store. • Coming up on New
Orleans, we hit the trickiest part of our journey. We
had no place to stay! Navigating though the after-
noon traffic, we parked between Tulane University
and Audubon Park and lived out of my car for three
days. Parking was free (unlike some places). The
university was on holiday for the week, but the
buildings were open. Investigating them, we found a
nice bathroom to wash up in. In our three days there,
we loved the Stanley Thomas Science Hall. • After
washing up and some drinks at The Boot, we hit the
parades. Beads equated to gold in this city and we were
going to claim our stake. Our first night in
the Big Easy was great with one exception.
Cyprian Mendelius, one of our carmates,
never came home. The next morning we
discovered he had been arrested and was
missing teeth. Needless to say, it put a
damper on the trip when we had to leave
Cyprian at the airport. Although his trip
was violently cut short, he got the pleasure
of meeting Raekwon of the Wu-Tang
Clan at an Atlanta airport. • New
Orleans was in fact the Big Easy on many
levels, as my other carmate Thomas
Steinfeldt would agree, after being hit on
repeatedly by another male party-goer.
Over the next two days we saw many
unique sights and accumulated a bounty
of beads. We met many interesting
people, and even ran into some JMU
friends, including club soccer phenom John
Sentz and the infamous Steve Glass. Overall,
it was a memorable experience and it was
nice to know that there were fellow Dukes
along the way. THEEND

BYBROOKECASHMAN • Every student who has been
lucky enough to go abroad for a semester knows that
culture shock is at its worst not when you arrive in your
host country, but when you return. In one quick plane
ride, trips to the theater and opera become PowerPoint
lectures, wine and cheese tasting and fresh pasta become
D-hall, and London, Paris, Florence and Seville become,
well . . . Harrisonburg. I don't mean to suggest that the
good of burg doesn't have some great cultural and social
resources, but it is a little anti-climatic after living for
three months in one of Europe's most beautiful and
invigorating cities. • For this student, the solution to
the post-abroad blues was simple: forgo the beer-
sloshed beaches of Cancun and Jamaica and spend my
spring break soaking-up sun in France. I spent 10 days
in Paris visiting all of my favorite people and places from
my semester there and even hitting some new ones I
hadn't seen before, like the Arab Cultural Center, the
Centre George Pompidou for modern an and the city's
fvlillennium decorations. I got to spend time with my
old host family, some of the JMU French faculty, and
even share stories with the group of students abroad diat
semester. • When I got back, I was a little jealous of all
my bronzed friends, but the city, the memories, and, of
course, the wine were worth every second and every cent
of the trip. Perhaps the best part of my return trip was

BYJENNIFERHAWKINS • While others were relaxing
over Spring Break, 10 students with the Baptist Student
Union spent their week on a mission trip sharing their
faith while repairing apartments for low-income people
in Smyrna, Tenn. at the Wherry Housing Cooperative.
"We were there to help make living better for
someone while being living models of Jesus Christ,"
said freshman Allison Johnson. • The co-op was a
neighborhood of old apartments that were used by
the army as family housing for soldiers in the 1940s.
Wherry Housing Cooperative made an effort to restore
the run-down buildings to a more liveable condition.
"When we first arrived at the place, we entered a room
with basically 1 5 bunk beds and very thin mattresses
on them," said freshman Ashleigh Adams. "I thought,
'I'm not going to get any good sleep this whole week'
and that it would not be a relaxing week. However, after
one night I realized how grateful I should be just to
have a roof over my head and a pillow to rest on." •
The mission team knocked out walls, painted, primed
walls, scraped paint, spackled, dug up a sewer line and
played with children in the community. The team
worked with two other BSU groups as well as people
from the community. "At first it was awkward
learning to incorporate our group with the other groups
but when it came time for the other two groups to
leave and head home, it was hard to say goodbye to the
newly developed friendships," said junior Kim Payne.
• The team also got to know members of the commu-
nity by working side-by-side with them and also
through personal testimonies. "We go to hear the stories
of the people we were helping out," said freshman
Melissa Payne. "They were so thankful for us and they
got teary-eyed every time they shared. It made me
think about what I do have and to stop complain-
ing about what I don't have. Their stories touched
my heart." • Although physical labor was a major part
of the trip, the group found time to have fun as well.
"I enjoyed getting to know the people that I didn't
know too well before," said senior Wendy James. "We
did this by playing football, working, having devotions,
going to The Wild Horse Saloon and dancing,
waking up together and getting ready together." •
Through the mission trip, the students found that
when you give your time and service to others, often
you get more out of the experience than you ever
imagined. "Primarily the trip was to renovate housing,
but we came back with so much more," said
sophomore Deonna Comer. "We saw God in so
many ways through that community. We developed
awesome friendships and learned our way around
Nashville and Kentucky." THEEND

BYLORIBIANCHET • My mind was set in early
November - 1 knew I wanted
to go on an Alternative
Spring Break, I just wasn't
sure which one. I had
heard so many amazing
stories that it was an
opportunity I felt I could
not pass up. I finally chose
to participate in the trip
coordinated by Catholic
Campus Ministry because
the integration of faith was a
priority. CCM coordinated
five ASB trips last March to
Beverly, Ky.; Albany, N.Y.;
Baltimore, Md.; and
Philadelphia, Pa., and
Oaxoca, Mexico. Each trip
had a little something
different to offer and I
chose to take advantage of
the Albany trip where I
could spend my day in
both a daycare and a
shelter. • There were 1 1
people on my trip including the two leaders, senior
Mike Rodihan and junior Matt Stephan. The
journey to Albany began on Sunday, March 5, as we
packed up the rental van for our nine-hour trip
north. When we arrived, we were given a driving
tour that passed the places where we would be
volunteering. We were asked to pick a place for the
morning and a different one for our evenings so I
chose Masterson Child Development Center and
Arbor House. • While at Masterson, I teamed with
sophomore Justinne Lake to assist a kindergarten
class. We colored, learned to read new words, took
walks to the park, played soccer, and helped with
arts and crafts projects. Masterson certainly was an eye-
opening experience, with glimpses of neglect evident in
the children. I wondered what kind of family life
they went back to. It was heartbreaking to walk
through the city streets and see the environment these
kids were raised in. Yet, the children were so
amazing. They were so inviting and trusting. • In
the afternoons, we would meet up and discuss our
morning or just take a nap. After a quick break back
at the dorm (a local college let us stay in their spare
rooms) we headed out for the late afternoon activity. I
volunteered at Arbor House, a home for runaway
teenage girls. I worried about how junior Kim Pope,
freshman Wendy Wheeler and I would be received as
we walked into their lives. I was pleasantly surprised
when the girls were very welcoming. They were not
ashamed of where they lived, but rather proud for
having been given a chance at a safer life. Arbor House
allowed the girls to stay for one year which is longer
than most shelters. At the year's end, they were set
up with an apartment and minimal supervision.
Living in a community atmosphere, it was evident that
people really cared about the girls. • Each night we
met for an evening prayer/reflection. This was an
excellent way to wind down, share insights and
emotions, and reflect on our new experiences.
Overall, for each one of us, the trip was incredibly
humbling. It's one thing to know how lucky you are,
and it's another to be exposed to the difference. I
left Albany with a sense of rejuvenation, anxious to
spread my love for service to the Harrisonburg
community. Seven months into the following school
year, I look forward to Spring Break 2001. theend

BYTAUACASSIS • Six students and a faculty advisor
decided to do something that they had never done
before for their spring break. Instead of spending
their time on sandy beaches or the streets of Mardi
Gras, the group ventured to a small town in Florida
called Madison to help a very generous man. • The
Johnson-Brinson Project Inc., founded and run by
David Dukes right out of his own living room, dining
room, and kitchen, was a non-profit, tax-exempt
organization created to give back to his community.
Dukes sponsored tutorial programs and study halls,
youth support groups, conflict resolution, behavior
management classes, discipline and self-control
workshops, as well as educational, cultural and
recreational field trips. He not only worked with the
children in the neighborhood but also with family
units and the community to maximize the potential of
each and every child he worked with. • Every after-
noon at 3:00 p.m. when the children got out of
school, we were at Mr. Dukes' house working with the
children. We spent six days at the project tutoring,
playing, and mentoring to mosdy middle school-
aged kids and assisting Mr. Dukes in anyway
we could. One morning we went into the
community to clean an empty parking lot that
had developed into a dumping ground for citizens'
trash. Another morning, we went to a residen-
tial youth detention center and spoke with
children while we ate lunch with them. • JMU
students have been going to Madison for the
last few years and all the children love to see us.
Seeing the smiles on their faces was so rewarding
and it was what got us up every morning on
our spring break ready to give to others, rather
than laying on a beach an hour or two away
getting a tan. THEEND

Harrisonburg police to

August 25, 2000:
A Day the Community
Will Not Soon Forget
BYKELLYCLINGEMPEEL
On the night of August 25. what started out as
an annual block patty in the Forest Hills complex
turned into a night that the university and
Harrisonburg communities would not soon forget.
After receiving several noise complaints from
neighbors and attempting to quiet down the street,
Harrisonburg police donned full riot gear and
bullhorns as they confronted the masses of roughly
2,500 students gathered in Forest Hills. Parrygoers
were warned to leave the area as police attempted
to control the crowd with tear gas and pepper spray.
Senior Coleen Santa Ana remembered, "I just went
there to hang out, and pretty soon fights were breaking
out everywhere. Before I knew it, I was running through
pepper spray and barricades just to get out of the
chaos. I ended up coughing and wheezing by the
time I made it through."
Although most block party attendants heeded
the warnings, approximately 700 remained and the
incident turned violent as rocks and bottles were
thrown at police, injuring one officer. When the
confrontation finally ended, 12 arrests had been made,
most involving alcohol charges, and the university
had become nationally known for the "riot," appearing
in many local papers, the Washington Post, and on
CNN. Reports varied in their descriptions from a
full-scale riot to a protest against police.
The incident immediately captured the attention
of President Linwood Rose, the Community Coalition
on Alcohol Abuse, the Student Government Associa-
tion, as well as students and Harrisonburg residents.
Rose focused mainly on the role that alcohol abuse
had played during the altercation (continued on p. 74)

(continued from p. 73) and took the recommendations
or the coalition very seriously. He also expressed deep
regret to the members of the Harrisonburg community
regarding the episode. In a statement, Rose assured that
he and the Coalition would "address the code of
conduct for students, both those living on campus
and off campus."
The Coalition was formed to promote responsible
drinking, prevent substance abuse and make
recommendations on related issues. It met early during
the year to discuss the riot and suggested "immediate,
short term and long term considerations to promote
greater understanding and communication on the part
of students, the administration and area police."
While the Coalition and President Rose concen-
trated on alcohol abuse and rowdy students as the
underlying causes, Mark Sullivan, president of the SGA,
brought the students' viewpoint to light during
meetings. "It's important to acknowledge that while
some students were to blame, many others had their
civil liberties violated and as we move further from the
event, it seems easier to forget that," he said. Working
feverishly to obtain firsthand accounts of the events,
Sullivan met with the Community Coalition, local
police, SGA, and students in an effort to keep lines of
communication open instead of letting the issue die
down without resolution. "While healing is necessary,
the only way to do that is to acknowledge that problems
existed on both sides. It's a bigger issue than how its
been painted which is that drunk students were out of
control. There's definitely more at stake," Sullivan said.
Students who were present that Friday night felt
that the responsibility of the event should not have been
placed entirely on the students. Many stated that
the block party was under control until police
arrived; the sight of gas masks and bullhorns caused the
crowd to become confused by police demands and feel

threatened. Of the 700 partygoers who remained at
the scene, most said that warnings from the bullhorns
were hard to understand. Yet witnesses still blamed
excessive force of officers for the escalation of violence.
Senior Marie Holland watched the scene unfold
in front of her residence in Forest Hills. "All of a
sudden, we saw the police. I asked if I could go home
and they yelled at me. We snuck around the back of
the houses and stood on our porch," she said. "When
they [the police] saw us there, they told us that if we
didn't get off the porch they were going to arrest us. We
had to hose my friend oft because she had been pepper-
sprayed. My other friend was crying and called her
parents because she had had a gun pointed at her."
The Student Government Association offered
surveys to give students the opportunity to describe
their accounts of the event. As always, the SGA
committed itself to addressing student concerns.
Some students felt that the matter had already been
addressed to the fullest extent. Several weeks after the
incident, students began to show general apathy
towards the aftermath and simply wanted the matter
to be put to rest. However, conscious effort to heal
rifts between police and students were expected to
continue into the future.
Although many fingers were pointed following
the Forest Hills incident, blame could not be attributed
to one party alone. Admittedly, students and local law
enforcement were both at fault and many factors
were involved. The incident raised many questions
about the safety and health of the community, and
the problem of alcohol abuse was pushed to the
forefront of many minds. Yet instead of placing
blame, efforts to reconcile the university with the
Harrisonburg community and the police were likely
to be the area of most concern in the aftermath of
the now historical riot/block party. THEEND

Familiar sights and sounds may have graced the
campus as the new school year rolled around, but some
tastes changed. In July, after putting management of
dining services up for bidding, the university signed a
contract with Aramark Dining Services. Submitting a
higher bid in their contract proposal, Aramark won
the dining service contract over Sodexho Marriott, the
university's former provider. The new contract gave
Aramark dominion over the various campus dining
services for a period often years.
What this meant for students was that although
many of their favorite establishments and their respective
food specialties remained unchanged, some items as
well as eateries disappeared. Several dining facilities
were replaced by more popular corporate restaurants.
Names like Blimpie, Sbarro, and Krispy Kreme slowly
filtered into the student vernacular as surely as Chick-
Fil-A did the previous year. For some students, this
was a welcome change. However, many students
expressed dismay with losing some of the restaurants
they came to love.
Perhaps the most striking news was the proposed
takeover of PC Dukes by none other than Burger
King. To some, it was hard to imagine JMU without
PC Dukes. Senior Steve Long, like many students,
considered it a basic element of the campus environ-
ment. "I hate to see the university sell off another
part of the campus to outside corporations," he said.
"I feel Dukes is unique to the school."
Virtually every dining facility on campus had gone
through changes of some sort. D-Hall lost its enamored
wok, but added three Pan Geos stations that were
cook-to-order cuisine stations with global flair.
Mediterranean, European, and Asian food specialties
were cooked right before the students while they
waited. Senior Cammie Ward (continued on p. 79)

(continued from p. 77) had mixed feelings about the
changes made to D-Hall. "I'm disappointed that there
are no more handmade salads," said Ward. "The new
pasta section, though, is awesome."
Most students hadn't noticed too many changes
in food offerings. Ward noted that the pizza on campus
had gotten better. Junior Liz Gavin described better
sauces at the Festival and D-Hall. "It's not that big
a difference," she said.
Market One underwent a complete facelift,
with Tortilla Fresca and Sbarro replacing Casa Ortega
and Stone Willy's, respectively. Krispy Kreme also
moved into the food court. Gavin was one of many
disappointed about the changes to Market One. "It
was my favorite place," she said. "Now it's smaller
and has less variety. I don't like the new appearance."
Gavin's overall feeling was that things were fine
before. "I don't understand the changes. There was
nothing wrong before. Why couldn't they leave it
like it was?"
Freshman Jean Bryan had never tasted any campus
food before she enrolled, even though she visited the
campus many times in the past to see her sister. "It's all
right," said Bryan. "I like Door 4 very much and eat at
Dukes a lot." When told of the proposed changes,
Bryan had a very distinct opinion. "I'm very much
against Burger King. You can't get any variety there."
The Festival welcomed Cranberry Farms and
Bene Pizzaria to replace Rocktown Farms and Stone
Willy's. Java City, a new coffee bar, was added
downstairs. A deli and smoothie bar were proposed
to supplement the new convenience store downstairs.
There was a possibility of Blimpie subs taking
the place of Door 4. This proposition upset many
students who had grown to love the familiar sandwich
shop, despite the fact that meal punches could not
be used there. Gavin was one of the many sad to
see it go. "I can't believe they're changing to Blimpies,"
added Gavin. "That was one of my favorites. I'm
really upset."
UREC received Freshens, a smoothie bar, in
place of the vending room. Bryan, who was also a
Dukette, thought this was a good idea. "It sounds
good after a workout," said Bryan. "It stops you from
going home and eating a lot."
A different perspective came from senior Paul
Hajdasz, a former D-Hall employee and current Chick-
Fil-A employee. From a staff point-ot-view, Aramark
received a decent report. "The service here is quite
good," said Hajdasz. "We were trained well and they
treat us with a lot of respect." Hajdaszs few disappoint-
ments came from changes in "little things" such as
the food shipments coming straight to D-Hall rather
than to the warehouse, leaving students to unload
trucks and stock the kitchens. He also didn't like the
possibility of student wages going down.
With the introduction of national corporate
chains into dining services, many students wondered
how the atmosphere would be affected. Different
students had varying opinions but most agreed that
as long as it was done in moderation, bringing national
franchises to the university was okay. "It can be a
positive aspect for JMU, bringing more money into
the school," added Ward. "As long as meal plans still
exist, it shouldn't be a problem."
Bryan agreed. "As long as punches are there, it will
be fine." She felt strongly about moderation. "Making
the entire campus corporate would be bad though.
A few restaurants should be okay."
However, Hajdasz was delighted. "I'm excited
about name brands. It will make the campus dining
services more mainstream." Gavin had "mixed feelings"
about the corporations. "Although the food is good,
it's disturbing that they're moving into the community."
With the campus growing larger each year to
accommodate more students and more buildings,
there was a need for dining services to keep up with
all the changes. By adding more variety and providing
familiarity with national chains, Aramark continued
to try to satisfy the tastes of the community. THEEND

Being part of a team came with an incredible
amount of responsibility and dedication, especially
in a collegiate sport. Most students aren't aware
what it was like to be part of a college athletic team,
and for those people who did, they knew it was more
than just a hobby - it was their life.
Collegiate sports took the meaning of "team" to a
new level, a level that most did not get to experience.
Being part of such a group meant dedicating your life
to your teammates and the sport. Athletes were
engulfed in practice and games. Fall sports, such as
soccer, had to be at school in mid-August to practice
and get in shape. During the season, the team
members had to balance school, practice, and
missing classes for away games.
Junior captain of the women's soccer team, Jamie
Miller commented, "1 do not like to miss class for long
trips because you get so behind in work. Some teachers
are understanding, and some are not so it's hard to be
in the middle of it." Away trips took a lot out of the
team, but became a great bonding experience. Some
went on overnight trips and discovered that it
brought them closer. The women's head soccer coach,
Dave Lombardo tried to schedule a long weekend away
early in the season to accelerate the (continued on p. 82)

(continued from p. 80) team bonding. Another aspect of
away games was trying to focus. Playing on the home
field was helpful because there were usually a good
amount of fans cheering for the home team. At an
away game, the fans were almost distracting. "Some
fans can be really annoying at away fields, but when you
beat their team they usually quiet down," said Miller.
A collegiate athlete's college experience was
different from the experiences of most students on
campus because they were not only students, but pan
of a tradition that represented the pride of the university.
Each player carried with them a sense of honor and
loyalty. Days and nights were sacrificed to their sport
and athletes gave up freedoms such as weekend events,
social activities, and what most students know as "free
time." "No matter where we are, we're always a team
and so we always have to act and behave with that
mentality. It never really leaves you," said sophomore
Casey Papa.
The following was merely a glimpse of what a
majority of university students didn't see. While the
rest of the school studied and filled their free time,
athletes were away defending the honor and pride that
students carried daily.
9:00-9:30 The team met in front of Godwin Hall.
The assistant coach brought the team a breakfast of
bagels, cream cheese, fruit and snacks. The girls stood
around eating and talking, waiting for everyone to arrive.
Coach Dave Lombardo talked with the women, the
bus driver, and his assistant coaches. The team didn't
seem nervous, as they prepared for the tough day ahead.
When everyone was accounted for, they loaded up
their bags and food and boarded the bus.
9:37 The bus departed. The assistant coach passed
around a sheet that listed other soccer games and the
results. Some of the coaches looked at a press book tor
American University (AU) soccer. Most of the
women talked to each other, took a nap or watched

to focus on the game ahead of them.
1 1:45 The bus arrived at AU, took them back to the
athletic field, and dropped them off The women quickly
unloaded and headed to the locker room for a quick
change, as they were running a little behind schedule.
12: 13 The team emerged from the locker room. Some
members were taped by the trainer, while the rest went
to the field to put their cleats on and stretch.
12:25 The coach gathered the team on the field for
a strategy talk, pointing out the strong players for AU
and what to watch for. This was the Dukes' first
conference game of the season and they wanted a
win. AU had just come off a 1-0 loss to conference
opponent Virginia Commonwealth University in
overtime. After the coach's talk, the team returned to
the field to warm-up. With five minutes until game time,
Lombardo sent the team around the field for sprints.
1 :00 The starters lined up at midfield. The announcer
read the list of starting team members, where they
were from, and their positions. Immediately following
the National Anthem, Lombardo gathered the team
one last time, telling them to play tough and have fun.
In the team huddle, they started their cheer, "It's
time to get loud, it's time to represent, JMU, what
time is it?"
1 :07 JMU kicked off. Less than four minutes into the
game, there was a shot made on JMU goalie Suzanne
Wilson but she made the easy save. The game was
intense and rough from the start with lots of pushing
and pressure on the JMU goal. Scoring started in the
18th minute with AU's Sarah Rosen getting a loose
ball in front of the net and putting one in from six yards
out. That put AU up 1-0 until 10 minutes later when
JMU freshman Christy Metzker answered with a left-
footed shot past the AU goalkeeper. Going into half
time, the score was tied at one. (continued on p. 85)

(continued from p. 83) 1:58 Half time started with a
water break and meeting with the coaches. As the team
waited for the coach talk, they conversed amongst
themselves. Teammates discussed what they saw, what
needed to be improved, and made comments and
suggestions to others. There was an outpour of support
as they congratulated each other on what had gone well.
When the coaches came over, they gave Lombardo
their full attention. He asked for some team feedback
on problems they were having. When he talked about
how AU capitalized on bad passing, he emphasized the
need for more team effort. Likewise, the assistant
coaches commented on what they saw and offered their
advice for improvement. Coach Lombardo encouraged
the girls to forget the first half and concentrate,
instead, on a better second half. "The first half is over,
and there is nothing we can do about it," he said.
2:13 The second half started off almost identical to
the first. American scored four minutes into the half
with a goal from Katie Moore. The Dukes answered 1 0
minutes later with a goal from junior Katie McNamera
off an assist from Metzker. The Dukes took over the
game from there, starting with sophomore Kelly
Wildeman scoring the first of three goals seven minutes
after McNamera's tying goal. Wildeman's goal came off a
pass from freshman Bryant Karpinski and Wildeman
headed it in past AU's goalkeeper. Within the next 1 1
minutes, Wildeman scored two more times. That put the
game away and the Dukes left with a 5-2 win over
American University.
3:05 The teams lined up to shake hands, then the Dukes
stretched and cooled down. Coach Lombardo gathered
the team for a post-game talk, complimenting the
women on their ability to pull it together in the second
half and refusing to lose. He also emphasized the fact
that even though the day was a win, they needed to
work on psychologically taking down a team earlier in
the game.
The women hung out on the field afterwards.
Since American was relatively close, many of them had
friends and family attending the game and knew
people that played for American. Looking at the
crowd, it was evident that the Dukes had strong
support throughout the entire game. Parents came to
every game they could, some driving as far as
Pennsylvania. Fan and family dedication helped the
girls while they were on the road. Often times the
Dukes' fans equaled those in the stands on the
opposing team. Lombardo commented, "When you
are tired in the last half, it makes a difference in a critical
moment if you have somebody cheering for you."
After showers, the girls got on the bus and headed
home. On the way, they stopped for dinner at Ciro's
Pizza place, a popular choice from past games. The girls
enjoyed relaxing after their performance with a
satisfying meal. Senior, Captain Beth Burgess said,
"It's really hard to go into somebody else's house and
come away with a win, but the bus trip home is much
more fun when we do." During the bus trip home,
the girls relaxed while watching Big Daddy. The bus
arrived back at Godwin Hall around 7:30, and the girls
went their separate ways, off to enjoy the rest of their
night, and the following day. THE END

After closing its doors for a year to undergo
renovations, Ashby Hall reopened in the fall to house
the Madison International Program. Equipped with
new heating and cooling systems, carpets, plumbing,
and a remodeled kitchen, Ashby became one of the
nicest dorms on the Quad. The real beauty of Ashby,
however, did not lie in the renovated rooms and living
areas, but rather with the students living between its
walls. The Madison International Program culti-
vated a living community comprised of both
international and American students that promoted
heightened cultural understanding and harmony.
Christina Sanchez, hall director of Ashby Hall
and assistant director for International Programs, said
the original concept of having an international hall
began about three years ago with Maggie Burkhart
Evans of the Office of Residence Life. The renovations
in Ashby Hall gave the International Program a perfect
housing opportunity. "When Ashby went offline, ORL
had planned to reopen it as themed housing anyway,
for example an honors dorm or an internadonal dorm.
Soon after that it was decided that it would go to
the international students." Having a dorm on campus
specifically tailored to international students helped
bolster the international community as well as ease
mixing with the general student body.
Before Ashby reopened, most first-year interna-
tional students were interspersed within the other
dorms on campus while a small number ot freshmen
lived off campus under special circumstances. "Typically
after the first year, the majority of international students
move off campus for the convenience," said Sanchez.
Residence halls did not stay open during extended
breaks in years past, which at times presented difficulties
for international students who were far from home.
In these situations, students usually looked to alternative
housing. Students and citizens of Harrisonburg such
as members of the Rotary Club and Friendship Families
offered to help by driving international students to and
from airports and by taking them into their homes
for the holidays.
One of the many conveniences of Ashby Hall was
that it stayed open during all breaks so that students
could stay with fellow hallmates. Sanchez hoped that
a higher percentage would try to stay on campus because
of Ashby after their freshman year.
The 68 residents of Ashby Hall began their
experience with "Transition America," the international
student orientation program from August 21-23. Besides
learning about various school policies and activities and
touring the campus, the students had picnics and trips
to various ethnic restaurants and local attractions.
In addition to the privileges of living at Ashby came
the responsibility of joining one of the hall's four
committees. Each student had to participate in at
least one of the committees that included Program-
ming, Communications, International Cuisine, and
Recruitment/ Retention. "These committees bring
out initiative, involvement, and investment in the
community," said Sanchez. "The students participate
actively and learn from each other. It's not just
residents participating in dialectic learning from the
staff. Everyone learns from each other here."
Students also had the opportunity to work on
special projects outside of the committees in coordina-
tion with Sanchez. One major project was the vision
of sophomore Isiah Smith to open a chapter of the Model
U.N. "I wanted to start Model UN. and I figured this
was a great place to start," said Smith.
Each committee met weekly with a specific,
significant function, headed by a Resident Advisor in
the building. International Cuisine coordinated the
catering of different programs and hosted dinners.
Recruitment/Retention handled efforts to foster
community and build good morale within Ashby. By
working to make sure that current residents returned and
new students applied, this committee kept Ashby Hall
going. Senior Sharon Jun, head of Recruitment/
Retention, could be found at any point of the day
working with residents or showing students around the
building, providing information about the international
program. She spoke of the dynamic between the
international and the American students, expressing
enthusiasm for its efforts.
The Programming Committee coordinated
different activities and programs within the residence
hall and outside of it. The committee worked with
the community within the building and invited
others in. Programs included cultural awareness events
such as movie/discussion nights, trips to Montpelier
and other historic sites, and physical activities like
hiking, skiing, and beach trips. International Week,
a series of events around campus that raised cultural
awareness and pride while recognizing the interna-
tional students, was one. of the main events the
committee headed.
Resident Advisor sophomore Ashley Lanteigne
was in charge of the Communications Committee that
ran the Ashby Hall web page and published a monthly
newsletter. "They're so much fun. Everyone asks so
many questions, everyone's so excited," she said of
her committee meetings.

(continued from p. 94) and truly felt connected by a
common thread. "They get so excited to meet
everyone," said Lanteigne. "They're always doing
things with their hall, always going to class together
and going out to movies and to dinner together."
To become a part of the Ashby experience, hopefuls
had to submit an application. Both international
and American students applied for the program.
Residents were selected for what they could contribute
and by their desire to learn in the unique community.
Lanteigne found out about the opportunity while
looking into being a Resident Advisor. "I came across
this and thought it would be cool. I was an exchange
student buddy in high school. I liked the idea of
branching out with people different from myself,"
she said.
Looking at the different residents of Ashby Hall,
it was easy to see that they had at least one thing in
common: happiness. Everyone knew each other and
got along very well. Freshman Mehr-Un-Nisa Akbar,
an accounting major from Pakistan, commented on
the community. "I love it here. People are so nice, and
everyone gets along. It's a totally different atmosphere.
I feel really privileged to be here."
Living among students in a similar situation
provided a certain level of security for residents from
abroad. Freshman Jose Acuna, a hospitality and
tourism management major from Venezuela, expressed
his content with the program. "It's more comfortable
being surrounded by international students," observed
Acuna. "We have more in common; there's stronger
support because we are in the same situation."
Sophomore Juan Kuilan, who found out about
the Madison International Program through Club
Latino, felt the multicultural hall was very positive.
"It's a good environment for freshmen," said Kuilan.
"Everyone here seems more mature."
For some, not even extensive international
experience could have prepared them for the incredible
power of Madison International. Claudia Sanchez, a
freshman from Colombia, spent the last 1 1 years of
her life in Israel, Germany, and Italy. After going to
an international high school in Israel, she picked the
Madison International Program over many other
programs offered by different schools. "This was the
best school," said Sanchez. She was very impressed by
what she experienced. "This is amazing. This is such
a completely different culture that I didn't expect.
People are so different. There are so many sub-cultures
here. It's very diverse."
Learning truly took on a global perspective at
Ashby Hall as students representing countries from
Greece to South Korea, Jamaica to Uzbekistan, and
Puerto Rico to Australia came together to share their
experiences. With the momentous success of Ashby
Hall, the Madison International Program would
continue to expand in years to come. Christina
Sanchez was very pleased with the progress of Ashby
and hoped it would carry on in the future. "The
students have taken initiative to do things together,"
said Sanchez. "There is a general sense of pride. It's
the biggest impact I've felt on campus." THEEND

EVEN WHILE WATCHING

Phillips takes a time-

over the year. They
began to appear at every
function and ring at the
most inoppurtune times.
Photo by Kirstin Reid
Cell phones have existed for years, but their presence on
campus was greatly felt as more students used them
to keep in contact with family and friends.
BYMANDIECOSTLEY
CFW Intelos, a national cellular provider, in the
year 2000 alone had 54,300 digital PCS subscribers.
With only 19,100 subscribers in 1999, the escalation
was partly due to college student's fascination with the
new technology. "Personal technology has permeated
the campus. Students, faculty and staff seem to all carry
various pagers, cell phones and personal electronic
organizers. All of these tools make communication and
life a bit easier, and all or us more accessible" stated
President Linwood Rose summing up the cell phone
mania that took campus by storm.
Can you recall going to class and hearing someone's
cell phone ring? Or maybe on your way to D-Hall
you saw people glued to their phones and unaware
of everything around them. To a large percentage of
the student population, cell phones were a way of
life. Some bought them to take advantage of the free
long-distance calling. When compared to the eight
cents per minute JMU Telecom charged, cell phones
seemed like the best option.
As a safety measure, concerned parents insisted
that students carry them in their car in case of an
emergency. Junior Katie Trentone decided to purchase
her cell phone because she was making long-distance
r v
;4
car trips. "I had starting seeing a guy up in New Jersey
and was making several road trips up there. I thought
it was a good idea to have a phone with me in case
something happened to my car or me."
To other users, cell phones were an addiction
that escalated horn the occasional emergency phone
call to the 24/7 "phone-glued-to-the-ear" syndrome.
Friends used their phones for cross campus communi-
cation. Ever go to meet a friend for dinner at Dukes
and they didn't show? With a cell phone, a quick call
allowed you to find out they thought you said
Market One.
Many students hated the portable communica-
tions devices because they believed there was a time
and a place to talk on the phone, and it didn't include
biology class. Others simply wondered why people
didn't just use the handy blue phones scattered
throughout campus and didn't think they were worth
the many problems they caused. SCOM professor
Dr. Robert Patterson didn't like to see drivers use
them. "It makes me nervous to know their atten-
tion is not completely on the driving task at hand."
Paterson felt, however, that people should carry them
in their automobiles in case of breakdowns and
family emergencies, (continued on p. 100)

(continued from p. 99) "I also think they are good
when a person in a family needs to be in immediate
touch with others that may he ill or have special
needs." Paterson also believed they greatly benefited
the medical profession by making it easier to reach
doctors, but wondered why a college student would
need to be reached in the same kind of urgency.
Sophomore Christina Manz was fed up with cell
On one occasion, Pomykalski and his wife
were in New York City at the Broadway production
of Beaut)' and the Beast. A cell phone went off during
die show and the person held a one-minute conver-
sation in the theater. "These situations really bug me
as a human communication professor because, in this
case, I think the phone detracts from the interaction
of actors and the audience. We go to such produc-
phones even though she owned one herself. She recalled tions to escape reality, and that is good tor the soul
overhearing a conversation of a girl on her cell
phone in the stall of a ladies' restroom in Carrier
Library. "I thought there were two girls in the
restroom talking, but I came out
and there was only one, and she
was talking on a cell phone!"
Manz constantly witnessed
students around campus chatting
on cell phones when they were
within seconds of a regular phone.
"It seems that wherever I turn
they are right there," she said.
There was a fine line
between what was necessary
and what was too extreme.
Students either hated them,
loved them or held an opinion
that fell in between. Those
who held no strong view on
the issue thought they were
useful but frowned upon
inapproriate and unnecessary use of them around
campus. "Sometimes 1 use them and sometimes I

The same principles hold true for me when it
comes to the classroom. They disrupt the quality and
environment created by the class."
Local vendors fed on the
cell phone mania by stationing
booths around campus to
push cell phone packages with
various deals and colored
faceplates to hook students.
The most common reason
students gave tor cell phone use
was long-distance rates. NCR,
one cell phone provider, offered
1,000 minutes for $50. Other
companies such as Suncom,
and Sprint competed with each
other for the cheapest rates and
widest local calling area.
Certain plans had local calling
rates for the entire United States
while other companies had a
smaller range for a smaller punch to the wallet.
Suncom's plan offered 600 minutes for $40 a month

have your phone go off in the middle of class. If I'm
going to the mall or someplace like that I'll leave it
on," said Manz.
Authority figures such as professors were also
included in the technology boom. "I myself carry a
cell phone, but the only communication I use the cell
phone for is to contact my wife," said ISAT
professor Dr. James Pomykalski. "I have not been
bothered yet by having a student's phone ring in class,
but I am waiting for the day. I hate when I'm out in
public and one goes off," he said.
While some people still believe in using a pay
phone, many have stopped tumbling through their
wallets tor 35 cents and have just bought a cell
phone. Like most technological advances, the cell
phone posed both pros and cons in today's society.
Dr. Rose summed up the situation when he said, "as
is the case with most things, there is a time and a
place for everything. Alarms, "beeps" and ringing
phones are not appropriate in certain environments.
Let's respect our faculty and fellow students while in
the classroom." theend

The Napster craze exploded
across computers causing
a worldwide copyright
battle, affecting music-
lovers everywhere.
BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS
Every generation saw a new medium take the
world of music by storm. First there was the LP, then
came the 8-track, the cassette, the CD, and in the
'90s, the Mini-Disc and ADAT cassette. The latest
music craze struck not in the form of a disc or cassette
at all, but a computer file. MP3, the new digitally-
compressed audio file, took the Internet generation
by storm.
MP3s could be easily downloaded in a multitude
of ways online. Serious legal considerations, however,
accompanied their use. MP3s were intended to record
music for personal use, as well as to download music
by permission. The latter use primarily involved unsigned
recording artists who sought to promote their music in
any way possible. Free transfer of their music over the
Internet gave them more exposure. This free transfer of
copyrighted and licensed music, however, not only
denied payment of royalties to professional artists, but
it was also illegal.
The music industry claimed to lose money every
day to illegal transfers of MP3 files. Downloading
MP3s could be a costless alternative to buying CDs;
the sound quality was nearly the same. Using free
software and CD-R recording (continued on p. 105)
THE EASE WITH WHICH
an MP3 file can be
downloaded, recorded,
and played back
contributed to the
success of Napster.as
well as WinAmp.The
two programs were the
most commonly used
software for
downloading MP3s.

(continued from p. 102) hardware, people were "burning"
their own custom CDs for a fraction of the cost. This
trend of exchanging illegal files and recording illegal
CDs grew, especially among college students with
fast ethernet access.
At the forefront of MP3 exchange was Napster, a
file-sharing music search service. Shawn Fanning, a 19-
year-old computer programmer, began Napster on June
1, 1999 as a superior program to search for MP3s.
There were 22 million users as of September 2000
and more joined every day. Around 50 million music
files were available to Napster users. With the huge
success of the program, Napster was able to put up the
$2 million cost to sponsor a free summer tour featuring
Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill.
Sharing MP3s by way of Napster became so
popular among college students that universities all
over America experienced slower servers and clogged
networks. Many raised concerns about the legal
implications of the copyright violations occurring
daily. According to Reuters, 130 schools, including
Kent State University and New York University,
blocked the program to free up bandwidth. Over
70 students at Carnegie Mellon University were
reprimanded in November 1999 for illegal MP3 use.
A student at Oregon State University became the first
person charged under the No Electronic Theft Act tor
illegitimate MP3 activity. Nonetheless, the popularity
of MP3s kept growing.
Last summer, however, the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA) filed a lawsuit against
Napster, claiming the search service contributed to
widespread copyright infringement in violation of the
1992 Home Recording Act, in effect pirating music.
Music giants Metallica and Dr. Dre supported the
RIAA. In July, a U.S. District Court sided with the
RIAA, demanding that Napster shut down. Napster,
however, quickly won a stay of judgment and
appealed the case. In August, Napster presented briefs
to the court stating its case. In September, the RIAA
presented its briefs, including arguments from the
Motion Picture Association of America and the U.S.
Copyright Office.
But how did the students feel? Freshman Dervan
Hughes was one of many avid Napster fans. She had
used Napster for over a year and preferred it to going
out and buying CDs. "Its my entire music supply right
now," said Hughes.
Sharing the sentiments of her classmates, Hughes
felt that it promoted artists rather than pirated them.
"It's a good advertisement," added Hughes. "It helps
me hear new material and figure out who I like."
Some students found alternatives to Napster.
Junior R.J. Powell was a former Napster user who later
preferred to use the Windows-based Network
Neighborhood option on his computer to search other
students' files. "I used to have [Napster]," said Powell,
"but it took too long. I'm impatient." Junior Mike Kim
switched to Scour, another search engine that searches
for pictures and movies as well as music. "It's much
more versatile than Napster," said Kim.
Although he downloaded MP3 files, like most
students, Powell still bought most of his music on CDs.
"I don't care if it shuts down," said Powell. "It won't
really affect me." Kim had similar feelings about
the possible court action. "If it shuts down, I'm sure
whatever the courts say will be a fair decision," said
Kim. "It's no big loss to me."
Many schools banned Napster, claiming that the
program tied up their network and slowed down their
servers. However, not everyone believed this was
necessarily true. "Taking up too much bandwidth, I
don't know," added Kim. "Those schools probably
just don't want to be sued by artists. They're
probably just trying to be careful."
Being sued by artists for using Napster was a real
concern. Sophomore Margaret MacKenzie was sued by
Dr. Dre for downloading his hit song "Forgot About
Dre" through Napster. "I came back to school and
when I first tried to connect to Napster, I got a message
saying that I've been banned by Dr. Dre." She was then
directed to a website where she could view the official
court document that stated she was being sued and she
was given two options to consider. One was to
write a letter of apology and then it would be
decided whether or not to continue with the suit, or
to fill out the document and claim to have "no
knowledge of infringing upon Dr. Dre's copyrights,"
which would lead to a personal investigation.
MacKenzie said she would not do anything
about it until Napster's case finished. She seemed fairly
nonchalant as there were 230,000 other people
being sued besides herself.
In any case, if Napster shut down permanently,
students agreed they would find other ways to down-
load music, and would surely continue to do so. THEEND

Arriving back to campus, members of Greek
Life noticed a difference in their community, asking,
"Oh my gosh, Becky look at her shirt! It's, like,
totally without letters. I thought this was Greek Row.
So what's with the outsider?" Greek Row became
the home to transfer students, who moved into four
former sorority and fra-ternity houses. The Alpha
Chi Omega sorority house was vacated when the
group lost their charter and became the Willow
House. Three former fraternity houses shed their
letters for names that resembled trees. The Kappa
Sigma House became the Spruce House, Poplar
House was previously occupied by Sigma Phi
Epsilion, and Chi Phi House transformed into the
Dogwood House.
The residence life budget was based on filling
5,787 beds. The more beds filled, the lower the
rent rates were. Greek row was included in this
count of beds. "In the Spring of 2000 we found out
that four Greek groups would be moving off campus.
Two were asked to leave by their national organiza-
tion and two chose to leave because of dwindling
membership, meaning they couldn't fill their houses,"
said Office of Residence Life (ORL) Senior Director,
Jim McConnel. The Office of Greek Life did not

have any Greek groups who wanted to move onto
the row, so ORL was forced to think of alternative
uses for 112 empty beds, which translated into
$318,528 in lost revenue.
"The Greek Life office asked us to not allow
current JMU students to sign up for empty beds on the
row. There was a concern that Greek groups would
move in together in an 'unofficial' Greek house," said
McConnel. ORL honored that request and set out to
think of other "customers" to live on the row. The
obvious possibilities were new (continued on p. 108)

(continual from p. 107) transfers. Freshmen were
ruled out, which left 245 students who had request-
ins; housing for the fall. The hope was to create a place
where ORL could target programs and services to
meet the needs ot transfer students and help in their
transition to the university.
From die business point or view, the situation was
simple: ORL filled the space in order to collect rent and
pay their bills. The decision also had an impact on
current residents of the row. Katherine Julian, President
of Alpha Phi sorority had a positive outlook on the
situation. "1 know that at first all the Greeks were quite
concerned and hesitant, but Dr. Warner and Rick
Larson came to one of our president's meetings and
explained that this is a temporary thing and they want
to keep Greek row, Greek. I don't really mind seeing
all the new faces walking down the row, however I
do hope that the row will be all Greek again soon!"
Katherine addressed one of the biggest concerns
brought on by the decision; the question of whether
the move was only the first in a plan to phase out Greek
row. To some Greek students it seemed like the trans-
formation was made to punish the Greek community
as a whole.
To a majority of Greek students, the newcomers
weren't a bother at all. Fraternities and sororities
only expressed concern that transfers might feel
awkward among established organizations. Meagan
Sullivan, a transfer student who lived in the Poplar
House, was anything but happy with her condi-
tions. "In the beginning, being a new student at
JMU, I felt secluded from everyone else who was not in
a fraternity or sorority. I wanted to experience a regular
dorm lite and the tree houses are not like that at all,"
said Sullivan. She commented on how her particular
building was repleat with problems, from faulty cable
to non-functioning showers. Meagan admitted that
since she decided to participate in sorority recruit-
ment and pledge Alpha Phi, the transfer houses
weren't so bad. She said that she had no intention,
however, of staying in Poplar for spring semester.
President Linwood Rose expressed his concern for
the lite of Greek Row and his hope that new sororities
and fraternities would move to campus. "Fraternities
and sororities have a long and proud history at the
university. They play an important role in the life of
JMU and the students who participate in their
many programs." the END

Few individuals touched the community in so
many ways and with such dedication as Rick Hill.
Whether entertaining listeners with his brisk guitar
melodies at Taylor Down Under or handing out his
famous chocolate chip cookies to students passing
through the Warren Post Office, Hill offered a constant
outpouring of joy and hospitality to everyone he
came into contact with.
His co-workers felt his warmth and passion. Ritter
Clevenger, coordinator of UDAR who often worked
with Hill in Taylor Hall, reminisced about his early
experiences with him. "I realized he brought a lot
of joy to people."
Rick Hill had been everywhere. Literally, he had
been all over the country with Alternative Spring Breaks
he helped coordinate, (continued on p. 1 12)
extension
of the heart
(continued from p. Ill) More immediately, he hud been
a presence and .1 personality diroughout die community,
working with various organizations and participating
in different activities.
Hill started the Alternative Spring Break program
at the university in 1992. He worked with Habitat
for Humanity and Community Service Learning
coordinating the program. In so doing he earned
these organizations and himself several awards for
service and leadership, including the first-ever "all
together one" award last year.
All of his contributions to the community have
earned him praise, respect, and admiration among
the students and staff. Junior Morgana Wallace spoke
about his involvement with Community Service
Learning and Alternative Spring Breaks. "He's wonder-
ful," said Wallace. "[His] energy and passion seem
endless."
One of Hills primary roles was that of Campus
Minister of Presbyterian Campus Ministry. He helped the
community blossom through service, worship, and song.
With programs such as "Make Someone's Day Great,"
Presbyterian Campus Ministry contributed many
examples or fellowship to the greater community. Hill
originated the "Make Someone's Day Great" campaign
which provided people an opportunity to make cards
for loved ones and peers. Every week, Hill brought a
tin full of chocolate chip cookies, stationary, stamps,
and a smile to Warren Campus Center. The man with
the bushy beard, neat ponytail, and small round glasses
sat back and greeted the oncoming students, encouraging
them to create cards for others.
In September, Hill left the community that had
embraced him so. He left Presbyterian Campus Ministry
to take a position as a pastor at Scoharie Presbyterian
Church near Albany, New York. Although he was eager
to accept the new challenge, Hill found it tough to leave
his home. "I thought it might be a neat thing," Hill
said of the opportunity to preach. "I'm really, really
excited . . . but it's difficult to leave."
Before he left, the family of students and staff he
inspired threw a farewell ceremony for him. Community
Sen ice Learning and Taylor Down Under coordinated
the celebration that included speakers, performers, and
refreshments. Colleagues, co-workers, and students
graced the stage and reflected on their experiences
with Hill. Guests included Kate Malmrose and Tracy
Arnold of Taylor Down Under, UDAP Coordinator
Ritter Clevenger, Rich Harris from Community
Service Learning, students Kevin Hoch, Morgana
Wallace, Thea Zumwalt, former student Jason
Masturka, and Father John Grace from Catholic
Campus Ministry.
At the emotional farewell ceremony, friends and
co-workers presented gifts to Hill with tears in their eyes.
He received a fountain from Presbyterian Campus
Ministry containing small colored rocks which were
inscribed with different values, a huge going-away card
from Catholic Campus Ministry, a t-shirt with
comments and signatures from the Alternative Spring
Break Program, a book of community cookie recipes
compiled by Taylor Down Under, and a book of lerters
written to Hill.
Hill performed at the ceremony's end, first with
senior Thea Zumwalt and then with alumnist Jason
Misturka. Zumwalt was a local musician who claimed
Hill as her inspiration "to play guitar in public and
perform."
When it came time for Hill to speak, he expressed
his gratitude with the same humble grin that won over
all those who cared about him. "I learned from you,"
said Hill of all his friends. "[You] have really challenged
me in ways that encouraged me to grow. You brought
out amazing creative stuff in me I didn't know I had."
With heartfelt sentiment he admitted, "the hardest
part about leaving this job is leaving y'all."
Hill's parting words to the community were truly
words of action, commissioning everyone to carry on his
legacy. "If I have done something to help you learn and
grow, pass that on," he said. "It's your responsibility to
make this a better place . . . it's up to you to figure out
how to do that."
Hill was a beloved figure on campus and will be
missed dearly. Senior Jen McKeever, a member of
Habitat tor Humanity, felt strongly about Hill's
character. "He's an amazing person that has touched
every individual without even knowing it."
Perhaps senior Kevin Hoch, who performed
"Rainy Day," a song he wrote dedicated to Hill,
described Hill's departure the best. "Rick will leave
a lasting impression on the JMU community.
Other people need to experience him," said Hoch.
"It would be selfish for us to hold on to Rick Hill
forever." theend

On September 1 2, 2000, Courtney "Taylor"
Ray boarded the plane for what would be the trip
of a lifetime. Going to the 2000 Summer Olympic
Games was overwhelming enough, but Taylor was
going to cheer his sister on. The five-hour trip across
the United States to San Francisco was only a hint of
what was to come. After changing planes in
California, he was on his way to Sydney to watch
his sister live out her dream. Fourteen hours later,
Taylor arrived with his mother, father, and grand-
mother to the playground for the world's best
athletes.
Taylor's 18-year-old sister, Mary "Elise" Ray,
represented the U.S. Gymnastics team and served as
their captain. As a top finisher at the Olympic trials
and a 2000 U.S. National Champion, her team-
mates elected her captain. Involved with gymnastics
since the age of 5, she reached Olympic levels and
gained a national championship title in 1999.
Graduating from high school in May of 1999, she
trained for 3 years prior to Sydney. In order to
compete in the Olympics she had to take her first
semester off at Michigan State.
The family agreed that if Elise qualified for the
Olympics that everyone, including her grandmother,
would make the trip to Australia. This posed a problem
for Taylor who would have to miss three weeks of
classes. "My teachers were great about adjusting their
absence policies so that I was able to miss so much
time. They really deserve a lot of credit and helped
out a lot." After explaining his situation to his professors,
they were really understanding and agreed to work
with him. (continued on p. 116)

(continued from p. 115) The first week of his stay
in Sydney, a portion ol the hotel costs were paid for
by the U.S. Olympic team. The team put the families

for so Taylor and his family stayed with a host family
just outside of Sydney. Tiylor almost exclusively attended
gymnastics meets with the exception of one track and
Held meet. Tickets for each event had to be purchased
except for the complementary tickets given to each
athletes parents by the U.S. Olympic team.
The atmosphere of the Olympic Games was
overwhelming and exciting. Flags from each country
covered the Olympic Village. "The atmosphere at the

Olympic Games is hard to describe. It is really something
that needs to be experienced to do it justice. There
is a real feeling of camaraderie and unity among all
the people there because everyone is there for the same
reason: to cheer for their country. Language and culture
barriers seem to be lifted because of this 'Olympic
spirit' felt by all the people there" said Ray.
Sightseeing in Sydney was as exciting as the
Olympics itself. In the city, Taylor visited the
Aquarium, The Opera House, and downtown Sydney.
One of the greatest events next to watching Elise
compete in her lifelong dream was visiting the Great
Barrier Reef off Australia's east coast. "The Great Barrier
Reef was the most magnificent thing I have ever seen.
The water was crystal blue and the surrounding fish
and coral were like you were in an underwater painting.
I really learned to appreciate the beauty of nature after
that trip."
AT&T, the official sponsor of the U.S. Team,
went to great lengths to make the families of the
athletes feel at home. They set up a family center on
the harbor overlooking the Opera House in a rented
restaurant. The center provided gourmet food, desserts
and closed circuit broadcasting of the events. Taylor
enjoyed the convenience of being able to stop in and
grab free food from an extravagant buffet while watching
the Olympics without commercials or commentators.
Taylor specified that the food wasn't just regular food.
It was very extravagant, with foods such as shrimp
and fancy desserts.
In the individual all-around finals, television
viewers watched in amazement as gymnast after gymnast
performed badly on their vaults. Taylor watched from
the sidelines but without commentators, the spectators
didn't know what was going on. "It was the strangest
thing to see my sister and the five other vaulters lined
up to do the vault again after the meet was supposed
to be over," said Taylor. "We thought that her falls
on the vault were just due to her having a bad day.
We had no idea that there was a mis-setting. But it
all worked out because her new vaults moved her from
35th place to 14th as the top American finisher, which
is where she deserved to be." The vault was set higher
than the one the girls normally practiced and competed
on. Although the mis-setting was only by a couple
of inches, the slightest change had big consequences
for the gymnasts.
In regards to Taylor's relationship with his sister,
he said, "We are very close. She knows she can always
come to me, and I'll support her." Being there was
not only the experience of a lifetime, but an honor.
Just to be in Sydney to witness the Olympics was
one thing, but to be there to witness his sister live-
out her dream was more important than anything
else. "To see my sister live her dream and represent
her country in the games gave me real inspiration for
myself. I was able to see firsthand how with hard work
and dedication, dreams can become realities. No one
deserved it more than her and I feel fortunate to have
been a part of such a special experience. It will be
something that I will never forget." THEEND

IMPRESSIONS
Change
The true changes of the university were best seen through the
eyes of the faculty and staff who had been around the longest.
They helped to shed light on what made the universtiy and why it
kept getting better with time.

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

They helped to shed light on what made the university
so great, and why it kept getting better with time.
Current Sports Media Relations Director Gary
Michael was an active member on campus since 1980.
After working on the Breeze as an editor and graduat-
ing from the university in 1977, he went on to take
an assistant director position in his first five years of
post-college employment. As a former student and
then as the director of sports/media relations, he
witnessed a lot of transformations within the university.
innovative programs, such as ISAT, because it allows
you to branch out into different fields and it's a chance
to put our name on something," said Michael.
As an administrator who dealt with an immense
amount of publicity and student interaction, David
Barnes eagerly attested to the amount of change that
spread throughout campus. Barnes began working
at the university in 1993 as an assistant director of
student activities, his first job requiring the renovation
and opening of Taylor Hall, (continued on p. 126)

Ch;
(continued from p. 124) Since then, he had five different
offices and six jobs within the department in eight
years. For some this would be overwhelming, but
Barnes welcomed the alterations with enthusiasm
directed towards the success of the students. Taylor
Hall itself evolved to become the University Center
with more focus on student organizations and
orientations. Barnes referred to the university as an
interesting culture that viewed things differently by
encouraging continual growth. "Every day my job is
different and for me that is very invigorating and
exciting part of my job. The nature of what we do is
very refreshing and I look forward to going to work
every day," said Barnes. Even though it was hard to
accommodate the increasing amount of club activities
and students as the school grew, overall he believed
that the changes were for the best.
While some viewed the additions and changes
as bringing a greater atmosphere and personality to
the university, others disagreed. Dr. Anne Gabbard-
Alley, who had worked in the Speech Communications
department since 1978, had to deal with her
department's relocation repeatedly over the past 21
years. During her time at the university, the SCOM
department resided in such buildings as Zirkle House,
Wine-Price, (known as the "Virgin Vault" at the time),
Anthony-Seeger and most recendy in the annex section
of Harrison Hall. Over the years they added programs
and enlarged certain majors and concentrations such
as Health-Communications, Mediation, and Public
Relations. Gabbard-Alley viewed the increasing amount
of students as detrimental to the overall student body.
"The university used to be capable of helping 12,000
students not 16,000. You just can't teach a class in a
persona] way like you used to," said Gabbard-Alley.
She also viewed the addition of the new science and
technology buildings and the residence halls across the
highway as unnecessary. "I think it's the ugliest group
of structures I have seen built on one of the prettiest
landscapes of JMU's campus," said Gabbard-Alley.
Another member of the SCOM department, Bruce
McKinney, not only recalled the various building
relocations, but also a time when the SCOM department
was known as Communication Arts. McKinney had
been at the university intermittently since 1981.
Moving into the Harrison Annex marked the fourth
office he had occupied on campus. Like other faculty
members, McKinney had mixed emotions about the
expansion and change. He remembered working at
the university when nobody had heard of JMU. Now,
with a greater reputation, the school had grown
tremendously. He did, however, see downfalls to the
growth. "The biggest problem with the growth is that
the students are having a hard time getting classes
and minors have become extinct," he said. One thing
that had not changed was the relationship of the
university with the people of Harrisonburg. McKinney
recalled the strained relationship reaching back for
years. "The community didn't embrace JMU, they
just put up with it," he said.
Rex Fuller, a professor in the SCOM department,
had been at the university for 27 years, and although
he was in his sixth office (the first one on the main
campus), he saw no downfalls to the expansion. Not
only did Fuller applaud the growth of opportunity
and diversity, but he felt, "JMU has done an excellent
job of capturing the best elements of smaller schools
and bigger schools, while avoiding inadequacies."
The expansion of departments presented students
with great chances and the array of programs gave
choices not found at smaller universities. Fuller also
believed that the university was a leader in the
development of student life and that was one of its
greatest aspects. "There is emphasis on developing
the student in a comprehensive way," commented
Fuller. "There are hundreds of organizations for students
to get involved with, and many large programs, such
as the advising program, to contribute to the success
of the students at JMU."
Change could be seen in every department.
Director of Bands Dr. Pat Rooney had been on staff
since 1982. He remembered during his first years
that the music department was housed in five different
buildings and the band was in the present day
experimental theater building. He said that even
with the programs all growing in size and quality,
the school still had a "personal touch that many
schools don't have." (continued on p. 128)

(continued from p. 126) The last 20 years had seen the
music and hand program become one of the "premier
programs in the east," and Rooney added that the
quality of the students had also dramatically changed.
Dr. Robert Roberts, a professor in the political
science department, also began teaching at the university
in 1982. When he joined the department, he recalled
it only had 7 or 8 full-time faculty members serving
under the department head, professor Dick Nelson.
When Dr. Roberts arrived, the political science
department was located in the basement of Burruss
Hall and the campus was somewhat different. The
other side of Interstate 81 had not yet been developed.
After his arrival, Roberts said he saw the following
buildings constructed shaping the school into what
it is today: Showker Hall, Sonner Hall, the Music
Building, McGraw-Long Residence Hall, Bell Residence
Hall, Hillside Residence Hall, Phillips Center, University
Recreation Center and the Integrated Science and
Technology Building. "In other words, the major change
that took place since my arrival has involved the
development of the other side of the campus. Between
1982 and the present, the university has grown a few
thousand students at a time," Roberts said.
As the former president of James Madison University,
Dr. Ronald E. Carrier had been with the university
through many dynamic stages as it evolved from a
predominantly female college to a coed university.
Inaugurated as president in 1971, the 38-year-old
Carrier was the youngest university president in Virginia
and among the youngest in the nation. At that time
there were only 400 male students and 3,400 females
attending the school known as Madison College. Over
the 28 years that Carrier was in office, he oversaw
planning for growth that is still occurring. He played

the current D-Hall.

a significant role in the increase of student enrollment,
the improvement ot programs and the quality of
education. Once 85 percent oi the student body graduated
with a degree in teaching. Now that was true for only
12 percent of the campus population. Additional
majors in business, psychology, media arts and design,
and science and technology opened up a wide variety
of career opportunities.
Spearheading his vision for the future, President
Carrier definitely had a busy schedule that held the
students' best interests at hand first and foremost. With
help from his staff and other administrators, enrollment
increased each year, the number and quality of athletic
programs grew, and new buildings emerged. The
administrative team hired a diverse faculty, offered
more majors, and vitalized student life through 28
intercollegiate programs, a modern fitness center and
250 clubs and organizations.
"We offer our students a chance to be part of the
best undergraduate program through their teachers,
the new technological advancements, and improvement
of their educational experience," said now Chancellor
Carrier. And he clearly still invested his time and energy
into the institution that carried not only his name
on the library but his imprint from the beauty of the
campus to the top rankings in national publications.
In a relatively short period of time, the university
succeeded in expanding the opportunities available to
students by accommodating their needs. Each year, as
the university grew, so did its reputation, attracting
more applicants each year as programs expanded and
improved. From the years as Madison College to JMU
as it is today, the teachers were here through it all,
and through their eyes alone students learned how
special their university really was. the END

At the mention of Parents Weekend, most people
conjured scenes of a crowded D-Hall and a breezy
autumn football game accompanied by hordes of
parents. Everyone knows how hectic campus was that
weekend. Anxious parents chased boisterous sons and
daughters who were excited to show mom and dad the
highlights or their new home. Yet, the busiest people
during Parents Weekend were probably neither the
students nor their parents. While families drove through
the valley looking for a nice place to share a meal and
catch up with each other, employees of local restaurants
and hotels worked non-stop to accommodate them.
Every area hotel and restaurant had its staff
running around diligently for one of the busiest
weekends of the year. In preparation, restaurants set up
signs and ran ads in local papers welcoming visiting
families, while hotels readied their rooms and reviewed
reservations for overbooking.
With so many visitors flooding the community,
all restaurants stayed crowded regardless of size or
menu. National franchises like Outback Steakhouse
and Ruby Tuesday as well as local favorites such as
Luigi's and Calhoun's kept their sections filled with
people waiting in lines for free tables. Large
restaurants like Biltmore Grill and smaller sandwich
shops like Spanky's experienced some ot their heaviest
rushes of the year.
Most restaurants carried their usual menus and
ran their weekly specials. Bob White, owner of Luigi's,
was one of the many proprietors who ran a regular
menu and tasted huge success. "We certainly draw a
big crowd," said White. "We don't have any particular
deals for the weekend, but we sell a lot of gift
certificates, though. The parents eat and then buy
certificates for meals later."
l'ltalia, a cozy local Italian eatery, was one of
the few venues that offered specials for the busy
weekend. Owner Gervasio Amato featured a select
menu of savory entrees, (continued on p. 133)

PARENTS,
weekend
(continued from p. 130) "During Parents Weekend,
we run special dinners," said Amato. "We have a
variety, including swordfish, filet mignon, lobster
scampi, and scallops."
Not every restaurant took reservations for dinner,
which affected the waiting periods. LItalia took reserva-
tions only for parties of six or more. Biltmore Grill took
reservations, and well ahead of time. "Our reservations
for Saturday are 80 percent full two weeks ahead," said
Christian Holmes, general manager at Biltmore.
Reservations or not, everyone could expect a long
wait when Saturday night rolled around. By 9:30
Saturday night, the wait at Calhoun's had reached
almost an hour- and- a-half. Outback Steakhouse, which
did not accept reservations due to corporate policy,
boasted the longest wait time. "We get a huge crowd,"
said Scott Stephens, Dining Room Manager. "The
wait has been up to two hours and 20 minutes."
Amato said of the situation at Luigi's, "It's not a long
wait. We try to accommodate everybody. No more
than 30 minutes."
Not every restaurant had a long wait. Sophomore
Natalie Kappel had a shorter experience. "We wanted
to go to Outback, but it was too crazy," said Kappel. "We
went to Pargo's. It wasn't very crowded. We sat down
right away. I really liked the atmosphere, it was nice."
Most restaurants had their most hectic period on
Saturday night tor dinner. Calhoun's even had a band
for their Saturday evening crowd. Interestingly enough,
White said that Luigi's had a lot of business Sunday
morning. "We do really well Friday night and Sunday
morning," he said. "Right before they pull out, they
come and eat one more time."
Sophomore Robert Burghart experienced the
Saturday night rush with his family at Chili's. "It was
really crowded," said Burghart. "There was a group
of 1 1 waiting outside." Despite the crowd, the service
remained excellent. "The service was great. I think
all restaurants expect that for the weekend."
Even smaller venues had long waits and hectic
shifts. Curtis Hakala, Assistant Manager of Spanky's,
commented on the rushed situation. "It's about as busy as
Homecoming," said Hakala. "Less rowdy, though." At
the busiest times, the wait clocked in over 35 minutes.
To prepare for the big weekend, many eateries
ordered extra food and had a larger staff on hand. "At
the Biltmore, we usually have 8-10 servers on the
weekends," said Holmes. "For Parents Weekend, we
increase by 2-3 servers. We determine how much food
to order by taking last years sales and increasing by
15 percent." Most restaurant owners and managers
felt pretty confident about handling the rush. "We've
been around for 25 years," said White. "We've got it
down to a science."
Restaurants weren't the only businesses kept
bustling by the students and their families. Area hotels
felt the impact of the rush too, filling to capacity and
forcing parents to look far and wide down Rt. 81 to
find last-minute accommodations.
Whether at the Hampton Inn or Shoney's Inn,
the Four Points Sheraton or the Joshua Wilton House,
even' local hotel had been fully booked a year or more
in advance. Most hotels did not need to advertise
their services to reach that capacity. "It usually fills up
a year in advance," said Gini Boyers, general manager
of Shoney's Inn. "Ads, we don't really need to run. It's
pretty much a given that we'll fill up."
Some years found the hotels quiet, and other
years found the hotels swarming with guests. Several
parents had their students spend time with them at
the hotels and stay overnight. Others barely entered
their rooms but to sleep.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the service, though. As
busy as the employees were, it didn't affect their attitude
or level of professionalism. Senior Robbie Carman's
parents stayed at the Quality Inn in Staunton. "My
parents loved it," said Carman. "They really loved the
service, and couldn't stop talking about the great coffee."
Since the weekend was such a big occasion, most
hotels had alternate rates. Almost every hotel raised
their prices for Parents Weekend, but it didn't deter
families from coming. Several hotels had stay require-
ment policies to accommodate the facilities for the
entire time. "We require a two-night minimum," said
Michael Dull, guest service representative at Howard
Johnson's. "The families stay the whole weekend."
As one of the busiest weekends for visiting
parents at the university, it was also one of the
busiest weekends of the year for hotels. "We're just
as busy as for Homecoming and graduation," said
Dull. "It's just not as rambunctious." Most hotels
rated it alongside graduation. "It's about the same,"
said Boyers. "For graduation, it just means dealing
with more grandparents."
Parents Weekend has always been one of the busiest
times of the year, as well as one of the most memorable.
Area hotel and restaurant employees enjoyed this hurried
time, and looked forward to it every year. THEEND

Admitting to concertgoers "I know this is probably
the stupidest thing you've ever seen," W.K. exhausted
himself after four songs and left the stage with cheers
from the audience, making way for the real talent
of the evening.
As leader singer Dave Grohl walked on stage
dressed in a black shirt, slacks and a white tie, the band
broke into "Learn to Fly," and the Convocation Center
erupted into screams of joy. Most of the evening
showcased the same energy with fast, guitar-heavy
singles like "Monkey Wrench" and "Breakout." The
Foo foursome played their share of mellow sets as well
with hits like "Aurora" and "Big Me." Grohl and
drummer Taylor Hawkins traded roles for a few sets,
covering songs by Peter Frampton and Pink Floyd.
Promoting their new album, There Is Nothing
Left To Lose, the band members gave the audience a
taste of their newest hits while satisfying requests for
old favorites. Ending with as much intensity as their
entrance, the Foo Fighters exited with "This Is A
Call" from their self-titled debut album. END

Hosting local radio station WBOP's ninth annual
Birthday Bash concert at Wilson Hall, the University
Program Board brought the modern rock troupe Tonic
to an eager student audience. The Charlottesville-based
group Earth to Andy opened, pumping up many of
their local supporters.
After spending several months on the road with
Third Eye Blind, Tonic began their coast-to-coast
college tour. The Wilson Hall show was on the last
eg of the tour, preceding only Atlantic City and
hiladelphia before a reunion with Third Eye Blind
for a European tour.
Following Earth to Andy's dynamic opening.
Tonic connected with the crowd with their relaxed
two-hour set. Fifteen songs from their two major-
label albums, Lemon Parade and Sugar, kept fans
content as they left their seats to get closer to the
performers. Between songs, lead singer Emerson Hart
treated the fans with explanations of the lyrics.
Tonic kept the crowd in suspense as they waited
until the end of the show before playing their biggest
hit, "If You Could Only See." Towards the end of
the song, Hart asked the audience to sing the final
verse, which they gladly did.
Afterwards, the band left the stage but returned to
perform "Lemon Parade" and "Wicked Soldier" for an
encore in response to the crowd's insatiable chanting.
Tonic played a fantastic set and pleased the crowd,
supplying sound messages with emotional melodies.
Their memorable performance gave WBOP a birthday
they wouldn't soon forget. END

Hundreds of students filed into the Convocation
Center on October 30th to see Vertical Horizon put on
a show, and they got everything they wanted. The
four-man set, introduced by opening band Nine Days,
rocked the crowd with an energetic performance that
clocked in at nearly an hour-and-a-half.
Touring to promote Everything You Want, their
1999 release on RCA records, the boys of Vertical
Horizon brought their mellow form of rock to the
masses courtesy of the University Program Board.
Combining the sounds of Dave Matthews, Better
than Ezra, and Edwin McCain, the band began its
nine-year history locally. The group, consisting of
singer Matt Scannell, guitarist/vocalist Keith Kane,
bassist Sean Hurley, and drummer EdToth founded
its homegrown sound at Georgetown University in
Washington, D.C., where Scannell and Kane were
doing undergraduate work. Toth and Hurley joined
the troupe in 1996 and 1998, respectively.
Almost a decade and four albums later. Vertical
Horizon had toured the world and conquered the
airwaves with their first two smash singles, "Every-
thing You Want," and "You're a God." Their impact
on tans was evident as the band came onstage to a
screaming audience.
After Nine Days' crowd-stirring opening, including
a cover of The Buggies' "Video Killed the Radio Star"
and a dynamic performance of their commercial hit
"Absolutely (Story of a Girl)," the fans were amped
for the entrance of the headlining act.
The boys of Vertical Horizon started their
adrenaline-fueled performance with a treat for their
core fans. Scannell led his crew on a musical journey
through time as they performed songs from their
earlier independent albums. More emotional tracks
from There and Back Again, Running on Ice, and
Live Stages provided a perfect balance to the more
aggressive tracks from their current album.
Both new and old fans waited anxiously in
anticipation of the band's performance of their
recent hit singles. The popular title track was the last
song played, while their current single "You're a God,"
was saved for the encore.
Vertical Horizon played to their fans, giving them
everything they could have asked for. By well-
delivered acoustic arrangements and soulful solos,
they kept the crowd's arms swaying and feet
stomping, from beginning to end. THEEND

What could have been better than Virginias
Finest, the Marching Royal Dukes (MRDs) on the
field, blowing away the crowd during halftime at a
home football game? How about the MRDs ringing
in the Millenium in Athens, Greece?
The trip was the highlight of my marching band
experience at the university. We were invited to Athens
for New Years and pre-Olympic Celebrations from
December 26 through January 4. With at least a
hundred companions in tow, we spent eight days in
Athens and traveled all throughout the countryside
of Greece.
The plane trip was long, (at least 10 hours), and even
longer for some. But, as I stepped off the plane, the
warm ocean breeze captured my attention and all
thoughts of that long plane trip disappeared from my
mind. Walking through the Athenian airport, I no longer
could read the signs or understand the spoken language.
However, I decided to yield from making any
preconceptions and embarked on a journey filled with
memories to last a lifetime.
After receiving a full night's rest at the Hotel Stanley,
we stumbled out the next morning bright and early
to board the buses and begin our sightseeing tour. Our
first stop was the famous Acropolis where we spent two
hours exploring the ruins of the 2500-year-old city
attributed to the goddess Athena. From there, we
sprinted down to the Olympic Stadium where the
first modern-day Olympics were held. After a day
of touring Athens, all 450 MRDs headed to Omonia
Square for our first and only practice. Rehearsing in
front of a gathering crowd of curious and enchanted
residents, we realized that our two performances were
going to be quite amazing.
On Friday, we journeyed from Athens (the modern
capital of Greece) to Nauplia (the ancient capital of
Greece). Stopping along the way at the Corinth Canal,
we left the buses to stretch our legs after a 3-hour ride
through the windy roads of the mountains and to take
pictures of the beautiful scenery. Before our final stop,
we visited the ruins of the 3,000-year-old Acropolis of
Mycenae, the oldest acropolis in Europe. Orange and
olive trees enveloped the land, giving us a breath-
taking view.
After eating an exquisite lunch, we proceeded to
our performance sight, the beautiful Syntagma Square
in Nauplia. We performed to a crowd of at least 100
surprised Greeks who acted as if they had never seen
anything like us before! After our performance, the
mayor greeted us and exchanged gifts with Dr. Rooney.
Despite the excitement of the long, exhausting day,
the following day would prove to be even better.
We awoke early the next morning in anticipation
of our cruise among the Saronic Gulf islands. Anxious
and excited, we boarded our ship that took us to three
islands where we would have enough time to disembark
and get as much shopping and sightseeing done as
possible. Our first stop was the small island of Poros,
covered with pine and lemon trees, and situated very
close to the Peloponnesian peninsula. We enjoyed a
beautiful walk up to the clock tower and admired
the panoramic view before us. I tried my hand at
bargaining for the first time in a few local shops and
to my surprise was quite successful.
After Poros, we boarded the ship and traveled
an hour-and-a-half in the warm, summer-like tempera-
tures for the island of Hydra. As one of the favorite
resorts of the international jet set, Hydra had unique
architecture with narrow (continued on p. 142)

(continued from p. 141) pedestrian streets full of
boutiques and handicrafts that attracted both shoppers
and photographers. Many of us took donkey rides
around the tiny city and found ourselves in man)- shops
before heading back to our ship.
The last leg of our cruise took us to the island
of Aegina. As the biggest of the Saronic Gulf Islands
inhabited since 2000 B.C., Aegina had a bountiful
supply offish and a unique fruit floating market. The
island's economy was based on pistachio nuts and
therefore, most of us left with enough pistachio to last a
lifetime! Earing dinner as the sun set over the Aegean
Sea made for a relaxing end to our day.
On New Years Eve, while some of the MRDs rested
up for the long night ahead, many of us opted to see
the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio. Sitting on a cliff
at the southern most point of Greece, the temple guarded
Athens from invaders some 2,500 years ago. The rest
of the band was on their own for the entire day, deciding
to shop, relax and enjoy the delicious Greek food while
catching up on some much-needed sleep.
At approximately 8 p.m., we began assembling
to march through the streets of Athens down to
Syntagma Square. The excitement in the band built
as the drums warmed up and the trumpet soloists
played. In the large square, the City of Athens had
beautifully decorated the performance area and installed
large screen monitors throughout the area so the
500,000 revelers gathered could have a better view.
We began marching around 9:30 p.m. and halfway
down to the square, the cadence kicked off and the
band erupted in cheers. The evenings rainy weather
didn't damper anyone's spirits. We lined the steps
of the square and from there, we could see the people
crowded in just to watch our performance!
The band sounded better than ever that night
and we blew the crowd away. We played until 1 1 :30
p.m. when the other performers took over for the final
countdown. At midnight, the fireworks were lit (about
20 feet from us, literally) and we rang in the New
Year. Everyone ooh-ed and ahh-ed and hugged and
kissed each other until it was time to march back.
Back at the hotel, we had an eight-course meal
and lots of mask and dancing awaiting us. And yes, at
4 a.m., we were only on our third course, but that didn't
bother us as we stayed up until 7 a.m. to celebrate the
New Year with America. About 8:30 a.m., we headed to
bed just as the sun was rising. None of us felt guilty
for sleeping the day away because nothing in the city
was open. And besides, it sure did refresh us for the
next day's excursions!
Our final professional tour took us to the ancient
and modern city of Delphi, the center of the world.
We drove through the fertile plains of Beotia, past
the town of Thebes and were led by our tour guide
around the ruins of the city. Incredible views aside,
we had the opportunity to climb up to the Temple
of Apollo, dedicated appropriately to the Greek god
of music. After a guided tour through the museum,
we headed to lunch, our favorite part of the day. We
were provided with a wonderful Greek lunch, full of
Spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese), and delicious
Baklava. After stuffing ourselves, we headed to Delphi,
a quaint city tilled with avid skiers, ski shops and
amazing stores of olive oil! We spent that evening back
in our hotel room in Athens, marveling over our
purchases and relaxing with friends.
Our last day in Athens was a free day for everyone.
Because most of us had not completed our shopping,
we spent most of the day at the Plaka, a pedestrian
area of Athens filled with htindteds of shops ranging
from "touristy" stores, to jewelry, leather and ceramic
markets. It was impossible not to find something for
everyone in this shopping haven.
With mixed emotions during our final evening in
Greece, most of us were definitely ready to head back
to the United States, but at the same time, we didn't
want to leave such an exquisite and fun adventure.
Since the first plane back home left at 3 a.m., most
of us stayed up to see our friends off and catch a few
hours of sleep before boarding our planes.
As I boarded the plane to come home, I didn't
want to leave. Athens was a concrete jungle full of old
stone and new culture, the capital of a beautiful country
that I won't ever hesitate to visit again! theend

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

vVITH VARIOUS SOCIAL AWARENESS ORGANIZATIONS,
Student Government Association President
WAS A MAN OF ACTION, NOT JUST WORDS
BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS
"It's all about the idea of community. The places
I've felt most comfortable and most fulfilled were
places where people respected each other for what
they contributed, not for what they've gained."
As these humble words emanated from Mark
Sullivan's mouth, a curious smile that whispered sincerity
began to form, showing the Student Government
Association (SGA) president truly had a passion for
his position. It was quite clear his purpose was to
serve his fellow students.
"I try to interact with students on a personal
level," said Sullivan. "Hopefully people trust me enough
with this job to speak for them."
The senior political science, social science double-
major, theatre minor from Chantilly, Va. was truly a
representative of the student body. His extra-curricular
repertoire was extensive, including many humani-
tarian and social awareness organizations. Not only
was he very involved by taking an active role in many
clubs, he also took the initiative to start a few.
During his freshman year he founded the Students
for a Free Tibet organization with the help of his friends.
He led the activist group for three years, during which
time, with the help of Amnesty International, he
accomplished the incredible feat of bringing a group
of Tibetan Monks over from Tibet to speak and
share their culture. In doing so, he made a success of
one of the biggest projects he's ever worked on. "That
was my baby," said Sullivan with a modest grin.
"From April of my freshman year to November of
my sophomore year, that's what I put my heart into."
Concerned with human rights issues, Sullivan
was very involved with Amnesty International and
described his participation in the organization as a
very rewarding experience. With the help of Amnesty
and SGA, he organized Sweatshop Labor Coalition
meetings to discuss inhumane labor practices. "I work
with the Sweatshop Coalition because I've met people
who worked in sweatshops," said Sullivan. "I want
to push our community to realize that there's a whole
different world out there. We need to think in a
broader fashion."
Concerned about his natural surroundings and
their care, Sullivan joined E.A.R.TH. (Environmental
Awareness and Restoration Through our Help), helping
with the campaign to get recycle containers on campus.

THE NEAT HANDWRITING
in Sullivan's planner is not
expected from such a
busy person. Although
he carried a planner
around with him, Sullivan
admitted to writing
reminders on post-it
notes and other scrap
paper instead of
following what he wrote
in the planner. Atypical
day for him started
around 8 a.m. and
ended around 1 1 p.m.
Photo by Laura Creecy
(continued from p. 145) Sullivan also took part in a push
for recycled paper use in the academic and administrative
departments on campus.
Everybody round a different avenue for expression, and
for Sullivan it was theatre. He played the title role in Macbeth
his sophomore year, and the role of "Edmund the Bastard" in
King Lear his junior year. Originally his major, theatre became
a passion tor Sullivan. "Sometimes I regret not being a theatre
major anymore," he said. "Its what I love. It provides an
opportunity to analyze human situations in a way you
probably couldn't otherwise."
To say that he was busy was an understatement. Despite
his hectic schedule, he still found time to take a break
from it all and reflect once a week at the Catholic Campus
Ministry's (CCM) Sunday Mass. Sullivan took part in
several CCM events, especially the Death Penalty Vigils
held in remembrance of death row inmates and their victims.
Interested in contributing to positive changes for the
university, Sullivan began attending SGA meetings as a
sophomore. In his junior year he headed the Academic Affairs
Committee where he helped push for the return of Greek
and Latin to the Foreign Language department. Success ensued
his efforts with the promise to bring back Latin in the fall
of 2001, and Greek still in the works.
Hoping to represent the voices and ideas of his peers
in the governance of the school, Sullivan ran for and won
the SGA presidential position at the end of his junior
year. Among his many contributions as president, he pushed
for university recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
writing the bill of opinion that the administration finally
accepted. For years, the SGA and many other on-campus
groups had fought for recognition of the January holiday.
"The motivation was already there," said Sullivan. "I didn t
feel responsible at all. I was just happy to be a contributing part."
Sullivan made quite an impression on his peers in the
SGA. Senior class treasurer Andy Oh admired his ability
to communicate with a wide range of students and help them
get involved. "His leadership style encompasses an openness
for people to be able to come up and approach him," said
Oh. "He has a diverse background, and knowing so many
different people, he can pull them in to be more involved
in their concerns."
Many of his peers saw him as a good role model,
including Bobbie Jo Grove, freshman class president. "He's
the most passionate person I've ever met," said Grove.
"What makes him stand out is that he leads by example.
and he listens. You can count on him to get the job done."
His summers away from the university community
were just as eventful and just as incredible. The summer
following his freshman year he participated in the
Tibetan Freedom Concert in Washington, D.C.
Accompanying the concert he helped organize, was
a political rally outside the U.S. Capitol. Sullivan
later led a group of 500 activists to the White House
to demonstrate outside the front gates. This was a great
triumph for Sullivan until the police pulled up in
paddywagons and arrested him for demonstrating
without a permit.
Visions of Tiananmen Square on the nightly news
were "burned into" his brain as a child and laid the
foundation for his concern about human rights in
China and the plight of the Tibetans. The apparent
lack of awareness of the injustices occurring in China
by Americans led Sullivan to continue his work. The
following summer, he returned to help with Tibetan
Freedom concerts and demonstrations, this time in
Chicago, 111. and Wisconsin. While working on
advancing humanitarian issues, he supported himself
by waiting tables.
Sullivan began the summer following his junior
year by working for the Smithsonian in Washington,
D.C., helping with the Tibetan Culture Festival on
the Mall. During that time, he participated in another
significant event, joining his peers in camping on
the streets outside the World Bank protesting an
effectually false loan to China that undermined the
Tibetan population.
Fortunately, the hard work of Sullivan and other
concerned supporters of the International Campaign
for Tibet around the world paid off when the board
of directors decided to cancel the loan that Julv. "This
loan broke seven standards of the World Bank," said
Sullivan. "By allowing this loan, gross human rights
violations and environmental degradation would be
funded. There was an overwhelming global movement
to stop it."
That was only the beginning of the final summer
before his graduation. Inspired by a CCM program
educating the community about the Free Burma
Coalition, he spent six weeks in Thailand with
family and friends, and then with members of the
coalition in Northern Thailand, (continued on p. 148)

(continued from p. 146) Sullivan then dedicated his
time to working in refugee camps, meeting members
of advocacy organizations made up of Thai nationals
as well as Burmese refugees in exile. This trying time
found Sullivan amidst a community of people forced
to start over and rebuild their lives, among many
young people whose parents had been either incarcerated
or killed by the Burmese dictatorship.
"Many people picture needy, helpless people at
the mention of refugee camps," said Sullivan. "People
were forced out of their homes. These were cultured,
educated people starting over. They weren't needy
rather, they were people in crisis."
Thailand was a moving experience for Sullivan.
He found it difficult to put into words its impression
on him. "It's hard to say.. .Thailand reinforced my
feeling that people have a responsibility to each
other," said Sullivan. "In the camps, community was
all they had. The bonds with other people held them
together. No matter the hardships they went through,
they kept going."
How did all these powerful experiences affect
Mark Sullivan as a student, as the SGA president, as
a person? "A lot of . . . it teaches you that you have to
visibly stand up for what you believe in and fight for
your cause," said Sullivan. "We shouldn't be sheltered
as college students, as an American society. I come
from a sheltered background too, but you have to
realize that where we are today is a product of very
powerful social forces. Sometimes we may not see it,
but problems like socialism and racism still exist. We
have to understand that there's a bigger world out there."
As SGA President, Sullivan went out of his way
to relate to his peers. Aside from his warm, inviting
personality, his actions truly showed him to be a man
of the people. He took time out of his busy schedule
to attend several different organizational meetings
each week in order to keep in touch with students
and the events around campus.
"He's compassionate with those he works with,
and he's sincere in all he does," said junior class treasurer
Camp Rosenberger, who also worked with him through
SGA. "He works well with the thought of the group
as a whole, and is very dependable in all he does."
By showing strong commitment to his peers and
hearing their concerns from their own turf, Sullivan
earned the respect and trust of many fellow students.
Lori Krizek, Chair of CCM's Respect Life Committee,
worked with him in both Amnesty International and
CCM. "He gives all of his heart to organizations he
is a part of, and because of this they thrive," said Krizek.
"My hope is for people to be able to talk to me,"
said Sullivan. "I try to attend as many student
meetings as I can." As a result, many individual
students as well as organizations, clubs, and teams
sought Sullivan to hear their concerns. "I listen. That's
a part of my job."
Mark Sullivan genuinely fought to bring about
positive change and foster community, both around
and beyond campus. He was noble, yet humble, and
exemplified leadership among his peers. By involving
himself directly with his fellow students in everyday
affairs, he earned their trust. Not everyone agreed
with him, but it was difficult to find someone who
did not respect him.
"I'm not here for myself. I know together we can
get some really good things done here. I'm just here
to help." THEEND

Room Gl in Anthony-Seeger was quiet on
Wednesday afternoon. With the Thursday issue pretty
much done, The Breeze staff was only making small
changes. Sitting at their computer terminals, they
proofread spreads and readied themselves for the next
deadline. When a call came in from one of the photogra-
phers and the staff learned that Wal-Mart was holding
their photos hostage, M anageriaJ Editor Ali Manser
handled the problem with ease. This was the portrait
of a typical day at the university's well-run newspaper.
On October 28, 1999 in Columbus, Ohio, The
Breeze staff members accepted the award for The Best
AJl-Around Non-Daily Student Newspaper in the
nation. The award was bestowed by the 1999 Society
of Professional Journalists through their Mark of
Excellence Program. "There were nearly 1,000
entries overall," commented Manser.
The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) was
founded in 1909 under the name of Sigma Delta Chi.
It grew to be the nation's largest and most broad-
based journalism organization. SPJ dedicated itself
to encouraging the free practice of journalism and
stimulating high standards of ethical behavior. SPJ
also worked to protect the First Amendment which
guarantees free speech to all citizens through
en
promoting the free flow of information vital to a
well-informed citizenry.
The competition rated papers throughout the
region, including schools like Appalachian State, East
Carolina University, George Washington University,
Howard University, Shenandoah University,
University of Maryland, the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, Virginia Tech, and Washington
and Lee University. The best publications from each
region then went on to compete with 12 other
schools for the Mark of Excellence Award. Region
Two winners were chosen from 184 entries in 25
categories for newspapers and magazines, online
publications, photography and television broadcasts.
The Breeze staff was honored with several
awards within the region such as second place in
feature writing, first place in spot news photography
and first place in photo illustration. Especially
impressive were the results of the sports photography
category where The Breeze photographers Dylan
Boucherle and Katherine Wilson won the first,
second and third place awards. In addition to their
award, The Breeze also introduced a new magazine
insert published once every three weeks entitled
Turf, (continued on p. 152)
THE BES
(continued fiom p. 7.5/ J The magazine made its debut
mi Monday, October 30 to mixed reviews. Some
students were offended by its nonchalant attitude
towards drinking and relationships between males
and females. Most disturbing lor some was the highly
suggestive cover that featured freshmen in the pool at
Sunchase Apartments. Editor in Chief Gina Montefusco
explained that although 7/«/was a separate publication,
all decisions were made by Deborah Armusewicz,
Alex Vessels, herself and the Turf editors. For some,
the insert was a welcome change from The Breeze.
"I liked Twf. It was different in comparison to the
ads all over The Breeze" said senior Shelly Santos.
"It may be slightly offensive, but it was funny. It was
a parody of real life."
The Breeze served as the only official campus
newspaper. Printed bi- weekly on Monday and Thursday,
the paper ranged between 32 and 56 pages. The staff
was divided into editorial, business, photo and graphics
Starrs and consisted of around 250 people. The editorial
section was further broken into news, sports, opinion,
style and focus sections. In addition, The Breeze
employed a web staff After the paper had been
sent to the printers, the second staff came in to
upload The Breeze to its website at http://www.breeze.
org. "Many people don't know that you can read it
online before it's even printed," said Montefusco.
The business staff sold and designed advertising,
bringing in a large portion of the paper's funding
from ad sales. The rest came from student fees dispersed
by the Media Board, the supervising body of student
media organizations.
Every contributing staff member was proud of
their award and it sat in full-view of every desk.
Whenever they needed extra motivation, staffers
could look up and see what quality work had earned
them. With this honor under their belt, the staff was
ready to earn further awards. Montefusco said,
"Throughout the year there will be five committees
looking at our paper. We can't say we are going to
sweep the awards, but we hope to make a good
showing." THEEND

BYTEISHAGARRETT
In the early morning hours of November 8, weary
students crowded around televisions in silence to hear
newscasters like Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, and Peter
Jennings utter the final results of Election 2000. Vice
President AJ Gore, Texas Governor George W. Bush
and third party candidates that included the Green
Party's Ralph Nader and Reform Party Candidate Pat
Buchanan, traded barbs for the better part of six
months, each of them vying for the same prize: the
chance to be leader of the free world.
Months of hard work for students involved in
the election process culminated when the networks
declared George W. Bush the presidential victor at
3:18 a.m. It also signified, what many thought, was
the end of a long night for those wrapped up in election
night fever. At 4 a.m., however, the networks retracted
their earlier declaration and announced that a recount
in Florida was expected. The election would soon be
coined "Indecision 2000" as the closest presidential
election in two decades dragged on for weeks while
Florida recounted their ballots over and over again.
Closer to home, the election swept through the
entire campus. Beginning in late October, it was
impossible to pass by a light post or bulletin board
without seeing fliers promoting the virtues of one party
over another. State races were also highly visible with all
435 seats in Congress up for grabs. In Virginia, that
meant there were 12 congressional races, as well as a
barde for the Senate pitting two former governors head-
to-head. Incumbent Sen. Chuck Robb and Former
Gov. George Allen ran campaigns that focused on
television ads bombarding viewers every day leading up
ON A DREARY NOVEMBER 7TH, VOTERS FOLLOWTHE SIGNS TO CAST
their ballot in the presidential election. The race for president was
predicted to be a close one, but no one could have predicted
just how close or how long it would take. Photo by Kirstin Reid
to the election. Sophomore, Republican Brian Johnston
commented, "I am a wholehearted supporter of George
Allen, but I was very ready for the campaign to end. It
dominated everything! TV, newspapers, magazines -
you couldn't get away from it."
Johnson volunteered with the local Republicans
where he posted lawn signs, motivated supporters to
vote and worked the polls on Election Day. "It was an
amazing experience. I know that the person in office
represents Virginia values and I helped put him there,"
said Johnson. Sen. Robb ran behind his opponent
almost the entire campaign but began to move up in
the polls in the final days. The race appeared tight, but
on election night the voters' choice was clear and George
Allen won the office with 52 percent of the vote.
The Presidential race was not such a clear call.
Early in the evening, pundits and reporters on all the
major networks and cable stations declared Gore the
winner of Florida, a key state with 25 Electoral College
votes. Bush supporters began to (continued on p. 156)

(continued from p. 155) began to worn' knowing
there was little chance of Bush winning enough
states to carry the election, later in (he evening, the
pundits recanted their decision on Florida. CNN's
Bernard Shaw broke the news to its viewers saying,
"Florida is no longer in the victory column for Vice
President Core. Were moving it back into the 'too
close to call."' Bush supporters were ecstatic. "It gave
lite back to our party," said Johnson.
As the night wore on, it became increasingly clear
that the election would boil down to who took Florida.
Soon after 3 a.m., the networks named Bush the
country's 43rd president. "I was devastated," said Senior
Kelly Clingempeel. Clingempeel, a Gore supporter,
had voted by absentee ballot and encouraged all of her
friends to do so. "I couldn't believe he [Bush] actually
won. I don't ever think I thought it was a real possibility."
Less than an hour later, however, the networks once
again recanted their earlier declaration. For the next few
hours, the candidates were separated by less than 100
votes. Election 2000 moved into its second day
surprising those who had gone to bed early the night
before, expecting to hear the results the following
morning. Again, the public was fooled.
Lawyers and supporters of each candidate
descended upon Florida to take up legal positions that
would favor their client. The state held a recount and
it seemed that Bush was clearly the victor but other
circumstances soon made it impossible to give Bush all
25 Florida electoral votes. Gore supporters in Palm
Beach County were convinced that they voted for
Reform candidate Pat Buchanan because of a confusing
ballot layout. But legal wrangling made it almost
impossible to continue with the hand recounts that the
Gore campaign had requested. A week-and-a-half
later, there was no president elect and those who had
been enthralled were quickly losing interest. "I think
everyone knows that Gore won," said senior Issac King,
"but I think everyone also knows that Bush will never
let the truth be known. I hate to say it, but Gore
should concede and then ready himself for 2004."
Aside from its unprecedented recount, Election
2000 raised several issues about the voting process.
When it appeared that Bush had won the race by
electoral votes even though Gore had won the popular
vote, there was a public outcry. Voters argued that there
was no longer a need for the Electoral College in an
informed, technological society.
After more than a month of legal drama, America
still did not know who their next president would
be. THEEND

What did Survivor, Temptation Island, Real World,
and Road Rules have in common? Besides being highly
rated television shows, they were a vital part of college
students' lives. It had been some time since there
were any shows that had teenagers hooked. Remember
the days of Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place*.
Now, the same teenagers who grew up with such shows
were grown up and television drama had changed
with them. What was once melodramatic television
based on perfect worlds like Full House and Saved by
the Bell, was now based on reality.
The whole idea of reality-based television shows
began with MTV's Real World in 1991 when the
network picked "seven strangers to live in a house
and have their lives taped," as the show's opening
monologue stated each week. The success of the first
show in New York City prompted MTV to continue
the show, but in different cities like London, Boston,
Seattle, Miami, Hawaii and New Orleans. The
network also developed the reality-based Real World
spin-off, Road Rules.
Reality-driven shows were all the craze around the
world and the United States in the new millennium.
The first to spark the interest of viewers and have
them glued to their televisions once a week was
Survivor. The show's premise: 16 castaways were
stranded on an island off of Borneo in the Pacific
Ocean. The ultimate goal was to "outwit, outplay, and
outlast" the others on the island, translating to lying,
manipulation and whatever means it took to win $1
milllion. throughout the course of immunity and
challenges the emotional process of voting people off
the island left viewers enthralled. Andi Levin, a self-
proclaimed Survivor "addict," watched because of
the "island concept and the fact that the castaways
are actually working toward a goal." During the
final weeks, native Virginian, Rudy Boesch, was
one of the remaining survivors in which viewers
watched and hoped for their favorite survivor CO
take all. (continued on p. 160)
There was a certain fervor about TV sitcoms on campus.
STUDENTS REARRANGED THEIR SCHEDULES TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY DID NOT MISS AN EPISODE OF THEIR FAVORITE SHOWS.

(continued from p. 1 58) that Dirk was her favorite
because she identified with him as a Christian. Rumors
circulated about Jervis as the winner and that only
drew more people into the madness. When the most
two-faced survivor of them all, Richard, won the show,
viewers were shocked. The first Survivor had barely
left the airwaves when the hype of a second Survivor:
Australian Outback started building.
After the success of Survivor, the other major
networks developed several imitations. Big Brother
was the next to air, proclaimed as the next big thing.
It started out great, with controversial houseguests
like former Black Panther Will Mega and Jordan,
the stripper/tri-athlete. Shortly after these cast members
were voted out, the show's popularity dwindled. By
the end, viewers didn't even know who had won.
Compared to Survivor, Big Brother was a huge
disappointment.
In January, a more scandalous reality show aired,
anticipated by students because of content that involved
sex, scandal and relationships. Temptation Islands
plot was simple: four couples made the ultimate
decision to test their relationships' strength. To do
this, they were sent to an island with 24 sexy singles.
The object was for the singles to try their best to get in
the middle oi the relationships and test the couples'
commitment. Scandal struck, much like Big Brother,
when a couple was kicked off the island for tailing
to tell producers they had a child together.
Every Wednesday night freshman Becky Baines
got together with six friends for a big Temptation Island
party. "At first my friends and I watched it to make
fun of it, but we ended up getting really into it. We
placed bets on who was going to break up and who
would stay together," she said. Many students watched
because it was intriguing but most agreed they would
never put their relationship in the same position.
Tempting fate may have been interesting to watch,
but to be in the couple's shoes and have their lives
ripped apart was a bit much. Avid tans simply liked
the mayhem while others thought the show was silly
and even cruel-hearted. "People who think it is cruel
need to lighten up. After all, these people knew what
they were getting into," said freshman Becky Baines.
The show even caused couples on campus to argue
about the situations and what they would do in
their shoes.
Other shows that took students away from their
busy schedules were Friends, Will and Grace, ER and
daily soap opera dramas. Students who normally
couldn't find a moment of free time in their schedules
set aside an hour or two just to watch their favorite
show, one that they couldn't miss. Junior Bridgett
Johnson and her roommates had a "girls night in" each
Thursday to watch Friends. Their routine included
going to dinner at the Festival and then heading home
to watch the show at 8:00 p.m. They regularly ate
dinner each night around 7:00 p.m. so they could
catch reruns of the show. "The old ones are always
fun to watch over," said Johnson. She also had a
philosophy that most students adopted when busy
schedules, classes and group meetings interfered with
television. "If we had to miss it, we'd tape it," she said.
Will and Grace was also a popular show that had
students neglecting their work for a solid 30 minutes
each Thursday. Senior Katherine Julian was addicted
to the show because of the characters. "Karen and
Jack make the show hilarious," she said. Like many
others, watching the show became a ritual for her. "My
mom and I started watching it together and whenever
I am home, we always have a TV date at 9 p.m. on
Thursday nights." For her, as with many students,
watching TV was how she relaxed. The stresses of
class and work disappeared once the TV turned on.
"I have always been a big TV fan and since Beverly
Hills 90210 is no longer on the air, I have turned to
Will and Grace as my new favorite show. It is the only
show on TV that makes me laugh out loud for a solid
half hour. It is 'Must See TV!'"
Television was an escape from the everyday hassles
of college. Students found themselves scheduling
time to watch their favorite shows and each of them
had that one program they could never miss. Maybe
shows were better, maybe our generation was one that
was infatuated with television. Regardless of the reason,
it was evident that the networks would continue to
invent shows with addictive premises to keep luring
the viewers in. theend

organizations took it upon themselves to help needy
area families and bless their holidays with the gift of
giving. Student Ambassadors, along with the University
Program Board and the Residence Hall Association,
ran their annual Operation Santa Claus toy drive for
children in local foster homes.
For the first week of December, participants
donned bright red "Operation Santa Claus" shirts and
trekked around campus, handing out candy canes and
flyers describing their cause. On December 4, they held
a campus-wide parade. Ambassadors, dressed as Santa,
his elves and his reindeer, marched from ISAT down
to the Quad, chanting about the program to catch
people's attention and direct it towards the cause.
While spreading their holiday spirit, they also
promoted their event with the "Hug 'N Ho" method.
Participants wore a Santa hat and, while hugging friends
and "ho, ho, ho-ing," passed the hat on, telling the
friend about the program. "It's a different way of
promotion," said sophomore Student Ambassador
Lisa Garten. "It's more random, and gets people involved
in a new way." On December 5, Operation Santa
Claus held its main event at Grafton-Stovall Theater,
the second annual charity a cappella concert hosted
by Exit 245 and the BluesTones, followed by a showing
of Dr. Seuss' classic cartoon. How the Grinch Stole
Christmas. Donations of a toy or $5 were collected at
the entrance of the theater, (continued on p. 164)

(continued from p. 163) These toys were donated to
the local Department of Social Services, which were
then distributed to children in area foster homes. "It
was a huge success," said senior Julie DeMeester,
coordinator of Operation Santa Glaus. "We raised over
$1600 die night of the event. Our goal was to collect
about $15 per child, plus gifts. We met and
surpassed that goal."
Operation Santa Claus touched students who
noticed the eye-catching red shirts and became curious
about the program. "People seem receptive," said
Cotton. "They want to come help out for sure. JMU
seems like a very giving community."
Theta Chi's mono included extending "a helping
hand to all who seek it." The social fraternity introduced
its 12 Days program, donating toys to the Salvation
Army for underprivileged families throughout the
county. Organized by senior Dave Rexrode, the project
gave back to the community in the spirit of Christmas.
Their goal was to gather 1 000 toys over 1 2 days
through donations and monetary contributions. "We
well exceeded our goal," said senior Theta Chi brother
Scott Pitts. "We passed the mark three days before the
end of the drive and gathered over 1 500 toys and
$ 1 500 by the time it was over."
Standing vigil in the middle of The Commons
outside of D-Hall, a trailer decorated with Christmas
lights and signs promoted the project. Donated by
freshman pledge Josh Inkell's parents, the trailer
became a visible manifestation of the 1 2-day commit-
ment. Each of the brothers spent at least one night
in the trailer and worked for two-hour shifts during
the day. Every night, two people stayed on The
Commons from 9 p.m. - 8 a.m.
Theta Chi invited student organizations, sororities,
fraternities and residence halls to compete for a
pizza and chicken wings party during finals week that
was provided by local donors Domino's Pizza, Buffalo
Wild Wings, Kmart, the Artful Dodger and James
McHone Jewelers. For every toy or $5 donated, the
group received one point. Delta Gamma won the
contest for Greek Life organizations and Fredrickson
Flail won for residence halls.
With the success of the project, the brothers of
Theta Chi hoped to make 12 Days a continuing
tradition. "This has been a tremendous success," said
Pitts. "The local news has been covering us left and
right. We're all very excited. We hope to continue in
the future. It can only get better from here."
CCM, while celebrating its tradition of the Advent
season leading up to Christmas, also gave back to the
community by organizing a gift drive for underprivi-
leged families. Coordinated by senior Jeff Sinnott, the
project worked through the local Mercy House to
collect gifts and distribute them December 9 at the
annual Mercy House Christmas Party.
"We had a Christmas tree at the CCM House,
with ornaments listing descriptions of the family
members," said Sinnott. "Volunteers then bought
gifts and brought them to the house. At the party,
after eating and socializing for a bit, Santa came out
and distributed the gifts."
During the parry, volunteers from CCM, as well
as individual student community members from
the university and Bridgewater, spread the holiday
cheer to the families celebrating. Food for the supper
was donated from Luigi's, Papa John's, and Mr. Gatti's.
After the meal, the group relaxed over some arts
and crafts before senior Matt Stephan, special events
chair for CCM, stopped by dressed as Santa Claus. He
entertained the families and delightfully distributed
the presents to the people gathered. This was a highlight
for not only the families, but also the volunteers. "To
see the kids' faces light up as Santa called their names
and handed them their presents was just incredible,"
said Sinnott. "The kids were just so appreciative."
CCM's Mercy House Christmas Party had been
a successful tradition long before any of the volunteers
attended the university. Sinnott had been involved
all four years of his college career, helping to promote
the event by word-of-mouth and e-mail. It was clear the
success of the event stemmed from the spirit of the
gathering. "The whole experience was so amazing, so
positive," said Sinnott. "There's nothing like seeing
the whole community get together and giving to
each other." theend

without it. You went to college, living out that dream but this
time you were a "college athlete." Now what would you do if
someone told you that you had to give up your dream? Freshman
gymnast Erin Fitzgerald was faced with this very situation. She
came to the university because it offered her a gymnastics
program and a five-year IDLS program. What was supposed to
be Erin's land or opportunity fell out from under her feet. "What
am I suppose to do about next year? I still want to compete in
gymnastics, but I also want to stay here at JMU," she said.
Stephen Reynolds, a male in the same situation, was a
freshman on Syracuse University's men's team until it was cut
from the schools' varsity sports program. After transferring to
Harrisonburg, history repeated itself. The athletic department
was faced with cutting eight varsity sports including men's
wrestling, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, archery and women's
gymnastics, archery and fencing.
The cutting of the eight sports teams could be traced back
to the federal law called Title IX. On campus, women made up
57.8 percent of the undergraduate female ratio but only 42
percent of the varsity sports participants. Men made up 42
percent of the student population and 59 percent of student
athletes. Under Title IX, recipients of federal funds were
prohibited from discriminating on the basis of sex in educational
programs and activities.
What appeared to be discrimination by the university under
Title IX was nothing more than the percentage of female varsity
athletes failing to match up proportionally to the percentage of
the female student population. There were more females on
campus than there were participating in varsity sports, thus the
university did not meet the guidelines established under federal
law. According to Title IX, "The intercollegiate athletic
opportunities for male and female students are provided in
numbers substantially proportionate to their respective enrollments..."
In order to comply with this standard, the Centennial Sports

(continued from p. 166) Committee proposed to cut
the eight less profitable sports teams. The CSC was
a group organized to study the makeup of the
university's athletic program and to make recom-
mendations concerning the program's direction.
The CSC was an outgrowth of a study made
by the Centennial Commission composed of 70
members that President Linwood Rose appointed
to make recommendations concerning the university's
future direction. Rose asked the commission to give
him a picture of what the university should look like
in 2008, the university's 100th anniversary. The CSC's
main responsibility was to make sure that the
university was complying with Title IX. It also studied
the long-term financial plans to make the sports
program successful in the year 2008 and beyond. In
December 1999. Dr. Rose charged the Centennial
Sports Committee with the responsibility for
"conducting a comprehensive analysis of JMU's
intercollegiate sports program."
Once it became public that the status of eight
university teams was in question, students refused
to take the news lying down. They rallied and quickly
formed a coalition of student athletes and other
supporters dedicated to saving the eight teams. The
organization was called SOS which stood for "Save
Our Sports." SOS began their pursuit to stop the
elimination of the teams by getting signatures of
supporters, sitting on The Commons and marching
into Godwin Hall where the Athletic Department
was housed. Through massive campaign efforts, the
group was very active and visible, sporting bright
yellow SOS shirts to increase student awareness.
The two most asked questions were "Why these
teams, that have superior records and national rankings?"
and "Why not teams that have not been so successful?"
Wrestling had won the CAA title two years in a
row, and the archery team had consistently placed
in the national tournament. Sports administrators
decided that the university could not afford to lose
a sport that brought in a portion of much-needed
revenue, hence, the high profit teams like football,
basketball and baseball were left untouched. ■
A question and answer session was held in
January to give student athletes the chance to have
Athletic Director Jeff Bourne address their concerns
and questions. Bourne sympathized with the students
commenting that it was a "very trying, awkward,
and at times painful process to go through." Bourne
cited that one of the reasons tor the cuts was the
addition of the women's sottball team, previously a
club team. A lawsuit was filed by a member of the
club Softball team with the U.S. Department of
Education, charging the university with discrimina-
tion for failing to give the club team university-
funded varsity status. Adding another women's sport
and a new field to accompany the team left the CSC
to consider cutting teams. With the university now
under investigation of Title IX law, failure to comply
would open the university up to lawsuits such as this
and even a loss of funding.
Students had some insightful and valid concerns
to raise during the forum, however the board members
who would ultimately make the decision were not
present. Andrew Lux, president of the Student
Advisory Council and tennis player pleaded with
Bourne to take the students concerns to the board.
"I would ask you to please pass along to the board
our desire to meet with them one-on-one on a personal
basis." said Bourne that he was merely "a facilitator
of information" between the board and the students
and agreed to inform the committee of student concerns.
One outstanding speech was from Lauren
Smith of the women's swim team (not one of the
proposed sports to cut) who was there to voice her
concern for not only men's swimming but all the
teams. She asked if the university was planning to
cut unpopular majors just as they were cutting the
"less popular" or better-suited, non-revenue sports.
Smith said that she came to this university as others
did for a reason. She didn't choose Virginia Tech or
UVA, she chose this university because of what it
had to offer, not because of its football team. She
heated things up adding that the university was "hiding
behind numbers which is hurting our institution
and the future." Other students asked "Why cut
proven teams to add a team that has not done anything
yet?" referring to the addition of women's softball
and the fact that most of the teams to be cut were
nationally ranked. One men's swimmer said, "Why
not football? Where are they ranked? We are winning."
The most important statement by Bourne came
when he was asked what he was personally doing to
save university sports. He commented, "I am not a
sports saver." Students seemed shocked by his statement
because they looked to him for help as the athletic

director. If they could not rely on him, whom could
they rely on? The atmosphere of the forum was heated
and intense. Students demanded answers, however
Bourne remained conservative and could not give
definite answers.
CSC expected to make their decision in March
but meanwhile students remained in limbo. Students
red-shirted so they wouldn't lose a year of eligibility
and some contemplated transferring, but without
confirmation that their team was definitely cut, they
were left to await the decision by the committee. THEEND

"NOW EVERYONE GOES OUT- It's LIKE TRADITION," SAID SENIOR, KlM
Pope. "It's what you do on Thursday nights."
BYYPRIANMENDELIUS
Every Thursday night over the course of the
year, students fervently wrote essays and studied
their textbooks intensely in preparation for their
Friday morning classes. Actually, no they didn't. .
Many a residence hall, apartment and living room
couch remained empty on Thursday evenings as
students flocked to area bars and parties to kick off
the weekend early.
Why the trend for Thursdays? This social tradition
had long kept the local bar and party scene thriving
with droves of students. Most enjoyed spending as
much time as possible with their friends and there
were certainly a number of enjoyable places to go
around town.
Yet the phenomenon of students going out en
masse all on the same day seemed too uncanny to
be coincidental. Many speculated the regular occurrence
traced back to upperclassmen with no Friday classes.
"I think it started with juniors and seniors going
out to bars since they could," said senior Jason Carlton.
"They were far enough into their major to not have
any Friday classes and decided to start their weekend
early." Since they were of legal age, they could go
downtown to the bar of their choice, or just stay in
and throw parties at their own place.
Seniors graduating took a little more time to
relax and enjoy themselves the last few months of
their college careers. Once Thursday became an
established party night, underclassmen began to join
their older peers by heading out to apartment or
house parties. With underclassmen expecting to find
something to do regardless of Friday classes, the
Thursday nightlife became a social norm. "I'm sure
it started out with upperclassmen going to bars," said
senior Kim Pope. "Now everyone goes out - it's like
a tradition. It's what you do on Thursday nights."
Probably die most popular Thursday night activity
was going out to the bar. Whether drinking alcohol
or just enjoying the company of friends, most students
found that the bars featured a fun atmosphere. Several
students went to bars not to drink at all, but to eat
chicken wings, play trivia, or watch televised sports
at bars such as Buffalo Wild Wings, or BW3, as it
was popularly called.
Opened only two years ago, BW3 quickly became
one of the more popular student hang outs with
lines were often wrapping around the corner. Senior
Geoff Dahlem not only frequented the bar as a patron,
but also worked as a doorman. "When I'm not working,
I'm usually at BW3's," said Dahlem. "We used to
go to Biltmore all the time. Now my friends like to
go to Highlawn, but I prefer the scene at BW3's."
Thursday nights at Buffalo Wild Wings also
boasted performances from local acoustic artist Kelly
Mae Brown who drew quite a faithful crowd. "It's
our busiest night," said Dahlem. "A lot of it has to
do with Kelly Mae Brown. She's really got a loyal
following. There's at least a dozen people who are
there every single week just to see her play."
Many who enjoyed such laid-back atmospheres
also preferred the environment {continued on p. 172)

(continued from p. 170) at the Biltmore Grill. The bar
at "the Biltmore" was another immensely popular
Thursday night spot. Even with one of the larger
dining rooms in the area, it stayed packed with lines
waiting to get in.
Host to many Greek functions, the Biltmore often
had a D.J. playing while students socialized. Senior
Tri-Delta sister Lisa Ghidotti preferred the scene at
the Biltmore to the other bars. "Sometimes we go to
Highlawn, but most of the time I don't like to get
dressed up," she said. "I like to go to the Biltmore
because its so low-key. You can meet up with a group
of friends, get a few pitchers, kick back and just have
a good time."
Those who had more energy and looked for a
faster-paced evening made their way to Highlawn
Pavilion. Loud music and an intense dance floor kept
the bar packed and the lines outside long. Most came
to dance the night away and rub elbows with a livelier
crowd than at the other bars in town. "Sometimes we
dance a little bit, and sometimes we just find a spot
by the bar and hang out," said senior Andrew Tufts.
"It depends on who we're with and who we see there.
It gets really crowded and the music's ridiculously
loud, but my friends like it."
Of course not everyone just stayed at one
establishment. Several students hopped from bar to
bar, thanks to loyal designated drivers or the local
taxi cab service. Many liked diversity, and going to
a few different places allowed students to meet up
with several different groups of friends.
Bars were not the only Thursday night option.
NIGHT
LIFE
Underclassmen and their of-age peers alike celebrated
the start of the weekend at parties throughout the area.
Those who looked for variety sometimes made stops
at parties after visiting the bars. "We never stay at
one place," said Ghidotti. "Sometimes we'll meet
up at Biltmore and then go to a mixer, or some-
times we'll go out to a party at someone's apartment
and make it back to the bar for final call."
Some preferred the smaller, more relaxed
atmosphere of house parties, while other parties
proved to be wilder than any of the bars. Senior
Beth Thomas had several parties at her apartment
in the Commons. "We had a party right before
Christmas sophomore year when we lived in
Fredrickson," said Thomas. "Ever since then we've
been celebrating our annual suite party, in addition
to the others."
Thursday night parties tended to be smaller
and did not feature the droves of random party-
hoppers that weekend parties usually had. "More of
our friends can make it, and more show up," said
Thomas. "Not as many underclassmen that we don't
know show up, so it's less crowded. We don't even
throw parties on Friday or Saturday."
With so many different options, students had
no excuse for staying in on Thursday nights. Whether
they wanted to drink and dance, or just hang out
and chat, they had places to go. Whether they were
21 -year-old seniors with few classes and apartments
of their own or 18-year-old freshmen with 8 a.m.
Friday courses living on campus, everyone could
participate in the Thursday night tradition. THEEND

BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS
Seventy-two years ago, on January 1 5, 1929, one
of America's most valiant heroes was born, destined
to teach a nation to embrace light and love and to let
go of darkness and hate. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
civil rights' foremost champion, empowered a generation
to speak up for what they believed in regardless of
the consequences. Sadly, his life was abruptly brought
to a tragic end by James Earl Ray on April 4, 1968.
Thirty-three years later, his message and his
contributions live on. On January 1 5, the community
celebrated a triumph of faith in this great man's legacy.
Although the Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Committee
had been actively celebrating his memory for 14 years,
this was the first year that the university observed the
holiday and cancelled all classes for the day.
Bringing the holiday into realization resulted
from a culmination of efforts. Campus groups such
as the Black Greek Caucus, the Asian Student Union,
Students for Minority Outreach, and the NAACP
had been rallying support for years. At President Rose's
inauguration, members of these and other campus
groups protested to demonstrate the need and cause
lor the holiday.
Students of all races sought the help of the Student
Government Association (SGA) for a change. The SGA
submitted a bill three years ago that was turned down,
but kept fighting until the Executive Council granted
a half-day of classes last year. Later, a full day off was
granted by a proposal to the University Council by
Mark Warner, vice president of Student Affairs. Thus
the 14th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration,
whose theme was "Remember, Celebrate, Act - A Day
On ... Not A Day Off," became the historical, first-
ever observance of the holiday.
Kicking off the schedule of events sponsored by
the Center for Multicultural/International Student
Services (CMISS) was the Peace March, immediately
followed by a Speak-Out, on January 1 1 . The following
night, a MLK Scholarship Party was held at the College
Center in conjunction with Phi Beta Sigma. Over the
weekend, Taylor Down Under hosted "Reflection
Nite," an evening of poetry readings with free pool
and refreshments, co-sponsored by the University
Program Board (UPB). A performance by the Inspira-
tional Ensemble and a speaker from Regents University,
in conjunction with Delta Sigma Theta, was held in
Taylor Hall the following day. On the actual holiday,
the Center for Leadership Services and Transitions as
well as the Black Student Alliance, helped co-sponsor
the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration
at Wilson Hall.
Zebulun Davenport, director of CMISS, was just
one of many proud community members who helped
bring the holiday to fruition. "It's a victory and a
milestone," said Davenport. "It makes me glad to be
part of an institution that is changing and beginning to
accept diversity." Davenport was optimistic for the
future as a result of the decision. "It feels good to know
that when my children's children, and all their fellow
students, come to this university, they will benefit from
the diversity that came from systematic changes."
Manifesting the efforts to win observance of the
holiday, the Peace March became a walking symbol
of civil rights as it proceeded through campus. The
march commemorating Dr. King began in front of
Zane Showker Hall and ended at Grafton-Stovall
Theatre, where participants shared their reactions to
King, the holiday, and the march at the Speak-Out.
Students and faculty of all races, led by brothers of
the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, moved up Bluestone
Drive with participants chanting and cheering the
memory of Dr. King while singing hymns and songs of
religious praise. The Contemporary Gospel Singers led
the participants in song. More
students joined, linking hands
and singing with the participants,
as the march continued behind
Wilson Hall and through The
Commons before heading into
Grafton-Stovall.
At the Speak-Out, students
expressed their feelings on Dr.
King's legacy. Sophomore Philip
Duhart, Peace March/Speak-
Out co-chair of the MLK
Committee, began with
describing the significance of
the celebration honoring Dr.
King's birthday. "Our purpose
here is to keep it going in the
new millennium," said Duhart.
After reading an excerpt
from Dr. King's speech, "Where Do We Go From Here,'
audience members were invited to step up to the
microphone and share their thoughts. Junior Jamie
Fleece was one of many who instructed her peers on

(continued from p. 176) personally. Among the names
mentioned were Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman,
Rosa Parks and Arthur Ashe.
Before the close of the Speak-Out, the Contem-
porary Gospel Singers performed a moving set of songs.
Inviting the audience to sing along, the choirs resonating
voices left many with tears in their eyes after the
emotional comments made by the audience. Natasha
Dumerville, Peace March/Speak-Out co-chair of the
MLK Committee, concluded the evening, encouraging
everyone to keep Dr. Kings legacy in their hearts
every day of the year.
Marching through campus was a profound
statement and experience for many. "It showed that
Dr. King was more than just a civil rights leader for the
brotherhood or all humanity. When we celebrate his
life, we come together as human beings and celebrate
our common bonds. We take a look at what we can
do to improve the human condition as a whole."
Senior Liz Cox also felt strongly about the
significance of the march. "Everyone should have gone,"
said Cox. "It would have made a statement to the
administration that they did the right thing." Like most
or her peers, she was grateful for the observance or the
holiday. "I just hope people took the time to think
about why we had the day off and appreciate it."
On the night of Dr. King's birthday, the incredible
celebration in Wilson Hall left an impression on
everyone in attendance. While visitors found their
way to their seats, the quartet composed of students
Natasha Burke, David Peoples, Kate Preston, and
Stephen Mattie played a musical interlude
on their violins. To open the event, James
Turnage sang a medley of civil rights
anthems to the packed house. Moved so
passionately by his strong voice, halfway
through his rendition of "We Shall Over-
come," the audience stood up in reverence.
Zephia Bryant, assistant director for
CMISS, made the opening remarks and
introduced Mistress of Ceremonies Tansy
Ephriam. After a few introductory
comments, Ephriam invited Dr. Linwood
Rose to make the official welcome. Rich
Harris, assistant director of Community
Service Learning, read the invocation before
the Contemporary Gospel Singers' perfor-
mance. As the audience rose to their feet
once again, student Dave Sessa read the
spiritual litany of commemoration.
Afterwards, Lamont Finn, president ol the Black
Student Alliance, introduced the guest speaker, Derrick will
Bell, acclaimed author and professor. Bell had taught at
Harvard Law School, been the dean of the University
of Oregon Law School, and most recently became a
visiting professor at New York University Law School.
He wrote many books and scholarly writings, placing
him in the forefront of Critical Race Theory.
During his moving speech, he spoke about the
importance of Dr. King's message for all people and the
struggle and perseverance of African-Americans in an
allegory of "Space Trade" from one of his books, Race,
Racism, and America, which had become a standard
law text. "Blacks can either sit there, or they can act on
beliefs like King's and fight for what they believe in,
even if results aren't guaranteed," said Bell. As he spoke,
the Inspirational Ensemble sang pieces to accompany
his words and increase the impact of his speech.
Community Outreach Committee members
Ketia Stokes and Isiah Smith presented the awards to
the four area middle school children who won the MLK
Essay Contest. Also awarded was the MLK Community
Service Award, granted to Zebulun Davenport.
To close the celebration, a candle lighting ceremony
was held. Program Committee members Dana Broadnax
and Tyson Brown invited members ol the audience
to come forward and light candles in remembrance
of Dr. King. While the candles were being lit, the
audience listened solemnly to excerpts of Dr. King's
final speech playing in the background.
Stacy Edwards, assistant director of CMISS, made
the closing remarks, thanking and congratulating
everyone involved in the process of winning observance
of the holiday. Reverend Terrence Thomas of Bethel
African Methodist Episcopal Church concluded the
ceremony with a benediction prayer.
The celebration, and the weekend as a whole, left
many of its participants touched. "I'm very pleased,"
said Davenport. "The weekend was a success. People
who saw the march or came to the celebration, whether
they wanted to or not, they were exposed to something
that made them think and reflect, and that's what it's
all about."
Many students in attendance were moved by the
ceremony. "There's so much to take away from this,"
said sophomore Laura Tashjian. "It was so amazing
for so many reasons. Bell's words and Dr. King's message
are things we should incorporate into our everyday lives."
As the masses left the auditorium, a sense of Dr.
King's significance and legacy, as well as of the university's
milestone observance remained as the candles continued
to burn into the night. "It was overwhelming," said
Fleece. "I'm truly proud. We've left something that
will carry on as a tradition." theend

"I try to encourage thought and
ideas," said Zebulun Davenport, when
asked what his job entailed. "I try to
grow people, whether faculty or
students, and allow them to be the
catalysts for change."
Who was Zebulun Davenport?
To many, he was much more than just
the director of the Center for
Multicultural and International Student
Services (CMISS). Zebulun Davenport,
whose name had Biblical roots as one of
the 12 tribes of Israel, was a leader, a guardian and a
friend to all whom he encountered. Not only was he
recognized for his compassion and caring with an array
of awards, but he also earned the respect and esteem
of the community, students and faculty alike.
Coming a long way from humble beginnings
helped create Davenport's strong character. Growing
up in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Winchester,
Va., he helped support his parents, three brothers,
and one sister in his youth after his hard-working
father retired early due to health problems. Working
several jobs to try to provide a comfortable living
for his family, Davenport's father instilled in him a
perseverant work ethic and a selfless heart that would
stay with him through adulthood.
After graduating from high school, Davenport
came to the university to earn his bachelor's degree and
graduated in 1989. Unsatisfied with his work and
the direction it was taking, he decided to return to
the university for a graduate studies program. "I knew I
wasn't happy working as a manager in a finance
company," Davenport said. "I knew I wanted to be
working with people, helping people."
Lending a hand had always been instinctual to
Davenport. His secretary, LaRue Simmons, saw this
firsthand. "One cold winter day he came in and told
me how he saw a teenager standing at a bus stop
shivering, with his arms inside the sleeves ot his shirt,"
said Simmons. "So the next time he saw the young
man, he went over and gave him a coat. I told him,
'Zeb, there are a lot of things that are second nature
to you, that most people would never think of, things
that they really treasure.'"
Ironically, the CMISS director never had any
contact with CMISS until he tried to get into graduate
school. When he called CMISS, he was offered a
recently open position as a graduate assistant. The
stars were all in place for Davenport. He called on a
Wednesday, accepted the position and quit his job on
Friday, found an apartment in Harrisonburg on Saturday,
moved in on Sunday and started class and work on
Monday, just a week into the semester. "All I had was
my little white Ford Escort and a little bit of money
in the bank," said Davenport. "From that Wednesday
on, I've never looked back."
Graduating in 1992, Davenport accepted the
position of director of CMISS in October of 1997,
two weeks before his wedding. He moved back to
Harrisonburg to start work exactly one month after
his wedding. "I came to do my job," he said. "I try
to interact with people."
As CMISS director, he supervised an office dealing
with leadership, international issues, and recruitment
and retention. He directed lecture series and the
Transition program, a summer college preparation
program lor incoming freshmen minority students
that allowed them to earn up to six credits towards
graduation. "I loved Transition," said freshman Alana
Hughes. "He was very open and easy to talk to. He
truly cared about us all, and made the experience all
the better."
In addition to helping organize various events
on campus, he also taught a graduate course,
Professional Issues in Higher Education. Last year,
he took on another (continued on p. 185)

(continued from p. 182) responsibility as an administrator,
becoming the Assistant to the Vice President of
Student Affairs, Mark Warner.
"Nobody says as a child, 'I want to grow up to be
a student affairs professional, " Davenport said. "People
always told me they could see me as an actor or a
comedic personality. But I sat there and asked myself,
'What would I do in lite lor free?' I would reach out
to people and speak to them. I would try to help. I
like to think that's part ot my nature."
Outside the university community, Davenport
toured the entire country speaking to CEOs, managers
and their employees as well as students and teachers.
He led various leadership workshops and diversity
training sessions and gave lectures on a variety of
motivational self-help topics. Locally, he volunteered
his time at the Boys and Girls Club and spoke to the
youth there on several occasions. Giving back to his
home community, he worked at the high school with
"at-risk" students to help them through their situations.
His biggest service challenge was within the walls
of his own home, as he took on the responsibility of
raising his 14-year-old nephew. This was also his favorite
role. "It's an absolute joy for me to be able to raise
him and try to provide him with guidance," he said.
"That involves me with all that he does, from
schoolwork to basketball. I love being able to take
part in the little things."
All of his dedication and effort to encourage and
empower individuals and communities nationwide
earned him acclaim from several local and national
organizations. He was honored with awards from
groups ranging from the Virginia Association of
Student Personnel Administrators to the NAACP.
The NAACP awarded Davenport the 2000 Outstanding
Faculty Member Award at the Image Awards and the
JMU Office of Admissions recognized him with the
Madison Best Award for Diversity Leadership. In
2001, he earned two Martin Luther King, Jr.
Community Service Awards; he was recognized tor
Outstanding Contributions to the Shenandoah
Valley as well as Outstanding Contributions to
College and Community.
"I think that the most important thing is to have
faith, in whatever God you believe in, and then to
have faith in your family," said Davenport. "I think
that a great part of my success is contributing all to
God and my beautiful wife and extended family."
Zebulun Davenport was a man with a mission. "He's
always been really enthusiastic about everything," said
Hughes. "He really cares about us all. Mr. Davenport
has a personality very helpful to our community."
Yet his humility made it difficult for him to
define his own opinion on that mission. "I would
like to think that I was put here to help enlighten
and encourage others," he said. "Not by any great
act, but just simply by hopefully being a good person."
Many who met him and had to move on with
their journeys remembered him sincerely. "I'll
always remember him as a very inspirational person,"
said senior Lamont Finn, president of the Black
Student Alliance. "Whatever situation I've been in,
he always tried to find the light. He's always been
willing to help anyone who comes to him."
How would he like to be remembered? "How I
would like to be remembered would be just as my
father is remembered in my community," said
Davenport. "Everybody knew and respected him.
Nobody ever had an unkind word to say about him.
That's how I'd like to be remembered." THEEND

The College ot Arts and Letters ottered a wide selection
of majors in social sciences, humanities, communica
tions and arts, as well as pre-professional programs such
as pre-law and pre-theology. In addition to these majors were wide
varieties of minors, general education courses, media and art
productions, performances and exhibits. With the long list of
opportunities and credits it would seem that this college had been
in existence for quite some time. However it was a fairly new
addition to the university.
The College ot Arts and Letters was established on January
13, 1995, as the result ot the combination of two previous
institutions, the College of Letters and Sciences and the College
of Communications and Arts. The original six departments
from the College of Letters and Sciences merged with five schools
from the Communications and Arts College to form the vast
institution that came about.
The joint efforts of both previous schools helped to expand
the program and otter more opportunities to students. Under
the leadership ot Dr. Richard F. Whitman, the first and current
dean of the college, two extra advantageous programs were added.
Within the first tew years, the Institute of Technical and Scientific
Communications and the Writing Program were included under
Arts and Letters. The responsibilities of the college began to
grow even more as it started to oversee the production of WMRA
and WXJM, both campus-run radio stations.
Masterpiece Season was also a program under the college,
responsible for many productions in music, theater, dance and
art exhibits. Today the college consists of six departments: English,
Foreign Languages and Literatures, History, Philosophy and Religion,
Sociology and Anthropology and Political Science. Under these
departments there were also five schools: Media Arts and Design,
Music, Theater and Dance, and Speech Communication.
Assistant Deans Dr. David K. Jeffrey and Dr. Marilou M.
Johnson, and 230 faculty members working under the College
of Arts and Letters taught the courses that made up about 45
percent oi university credit hours. There was also approximately
40 percent of the student population enrolled in some type of
program under this collegiate division.
The mission of the college was threefold. First, the college
worked to promote a strong academic curriculum that would
continue to receive national accreditation. Second, the college
worked to support die general education program through challeng-
ing course work thereby encouraging liberal learning. Third,
there was a very strong effort to build an appreciation of Ameri-
can cultural diversity and global awareness, two characteristics
necessary to survive in the new millennium. Another main
goal of the college was to provide hands-on learning experience.
This was made possible through research projects, study abroad,
internships and field courses.
Like the rest of the university, the College of Arts and Letters
expected to undergo exciting and new changes within the next
decade. Bluestone buildings were being carefully analyzed to see
how they could be renovated to add to the changing technology
and programs.
The actual schools under the college were also going to
experience changes by expanding the School ot Art and Art
History and upgrading the Theater and Dance Facilities. Plans
for Harrison Hall where the college offices were located, would
also be renovated. According to Dr. Whitman, there were future
hopes for Harrison Hall to be constructed into a communications
complex for the schools of Speech Communication and Media
Arts and Design. The Institute of Technical and Scientific
Communication and the Writing Program would also be able
to use the facilities.
In only eight short years of existence, the College of Arts
and Letters worked hard to establish a very positive and commend-
able reputation for the university. Even with a long list of achieve-
ments, the college continued to expand and change everyday.
With the advancements and renovations in the works, it was
certain that there would continue to be endless opportunities
in store for the university, the end

As an Art Education major, Valerie Smith
had a tremendous interest in the art world.
Her involvement with Zirkle House, the
student run art gallery on Main Street across from the
quad, begati in 1999 after spending a semester abroad
in Italy. At the suggestion of her friend and current
Zirkle House director at the time. Smith became a
gallery assistant for two semesters and assistant director
for one before eventually taking the position of director.
"The gallery assistants maintain the gallery daily," she
said, "they sit at the front desk, help hang the shows
and keep the gallery running."
Zirkle House was created 25 years ago and had
been an excellent source of culture for the university
and the Harrisonburg community at large. As director
ol Zirkle House, Smith was involved in all the decisions
and actions for the semester, which included choosing
people who would have a show. "It's very impartial,"
she said. "The top scoring artists get a show." Smith
felt that being the director of Zirkle House was a
rewarding experience. It gave her the chance to take
on a big responsibility and run with it. The artists
involved in a show at Zirkle House earned the experience
of putting something professional together while
becoming familiar with gallery work.
Apart from being involved with Zirkle House,
Smith led a very interesting life. Last spring, her friend
Christina cut her hair off for cancer patients through
a program called Locks for Love which typically
asked for a donor to cut off 10 inches for a full wig.
Smith was moved by her friend's gesture and felt
compelled to do the same, donating 23 inches."I knew
my hair would grow back. That's the point," she said.
Yet another interesting fact about Smith was that
she paid for her college education, working as a waitress
at Luigi's in downtown Harrisonburg and making up
the difference in scholarships, loans, and federal aid.
Smith was lucky enough to receive the Anna McCarthy
Teaching Scholarship that was offered to aspiring
teachers. The scholarship money was enough to pay
for her tuition, but she still had to take out loans for
her rent, books, and other necessities. With work and
school consuming most of her time. Smith hardly
ever took more than 1 5 credit hours a semester. During
her student teaching, she had to work less, causing
her to take out more loans.
As a fifth year senior, an aspiring teacher, and a
fascinating artist. Smith was definitely a dedicated student
willing to work hard for what she wanted. THE END

Globe in Staunton, to be opened in
2005. Photo by Terrence Nowlin
As a 27-year veteran professor of the English
department at the university, Dr. Ralph
Cohen taught everything from Shakespeare's
comedies and tragedies to film classes and Renaissance
drama. During his career, he also collaborated with
Dr. Marina Favila, presenting research papers at the
Modern Language Association. Dr. Cohen's main
interest of late, however, was the construction of the
Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, Virginia, a recon-
struction of Shakespeare's indoor theater in England
expected to open in the fall of 2001. "I'm hoping to
make Staunton the Shakespeare center of Virginia and
Virginia the Shakespeare center of America," Dr. Cohen
said. He hoped to follow this ambitious undertaking
by building a replica of the Globe Theater within the
next few years as well.
Dr. Cohen was also the founder of the Shenandoah
Shakespeare Express (SSE), a touring acting troupe
that performed the works of Shakespeare, Christopher
Marlowe and Ben Jonson. Dr. Cohen started the SSE
with a former student in 1988 and saw the company
prosper as the years went by. The company was touted
as "the most active touring Shakespeare company in
the world with two troupes doing seven different plays"
and was the only Shakespearean company in North
America to produce Shakespeare's play in authentic
Elizabethan theaters. To make the production true
to the Elizabethan style, the house lights were left on
to simulate daylight, since Shakespeare's plays were
performed during the day. The SSE consisted of 125
year-round employees with a total annual audience
attendance of 364,000. Impressively, the percentage
of Americans who traveled over 200 miles to see the
SSE perform was well over 80 percent.
The Blackfriars Playhouse had been Dr. Cohen's
main focus, receiving special permission from President
Rose to take a year's leave to construct the theater.
The playhouse was the only reproduction of
Shakespeare's indoor theater in the world and would
feature tours with actors performing highlights from
Shakespeare's plays. The theater was expected to be
open 363 days a year.
Dr. Cohen was a phenomenal teacher and mentor.
Apart from teaching tor 27 years, he also directed
12 professional productions of Shakespeare's plays
and produced America's first professional rendition
of Francis Beaumont's 1607 "Knight of the Burning
Pestle." He also directed Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus" with
the SSE and co-directed "Twelfth Night. Dr. Cohen
received several awards for his achievements. He was
one of the first recipients of Virginia's Outstanding
Faculty Award and in 1998, Georgetown University
offered him an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane
Letters for his work with the SSE. He was also the
university's teacher of the year and scholar of the year.
His biggest hope was that his accomplishments would
leave a lasting impression on the university and surround-
ing community. "I hope that alumni of the university
will look at the SSE and the theater as a product of
JMU, come see them perform, and feel proud." theEND

and then modified from there. Photo

At Spotswood Elementary, 25 university art
students met to work on a temporary
mural to brighten the atmosphere during a
four-month period of remodeling. With the guidance
of Kelly Kerr, a graduate student and the teacher of
2-D design, and Kim Joyce, the PTA cultural arts
coordinator at Spotswood, the mural was painted over
the course of two class periods totaling five hours. "The
best part of the mural was the idea that the university
students worked within the community to help inspire
creativity. One cannot forget how important the
creative process is in thinking," said Kerr.
The challenge for these non-art majors was to
create a mural using a unconventional style of making
simple shapes into a landscape while also incorporat-
ing the school's theme into the project. "I think that
not just having one person paint the whole mural
really allowed for everyone's styles to shine through,''
said senior Tia Scott.
The class was split into four groups, each of them
given the task to create a proposal for the space and
then present the idea to the class. AJ1 four concepts
were utilized to create the landscape for the temporary
wall. "For my group's proposal we chose to incorporate
Candyland with the school's mascot, the knight of
the golden horseshoe," said junior Lisa Rogers. The
ideas that were proposed and incorporated together
were the enchanted forest, 2-D lettering and a classroom
scene peeling back into a playground and basic
shapes and numbers.
With the approval from the Spotswood Elementary
Principal Steve Jackson, the class met at the school
to begin sketching and painting the mural. "It was
a little intimidating at first because we didn't have
an exact plan. However, once we assigned jobs things
started to fall into place," said junior Allison Miracco.
The class was divided into their original groups in
order to sketch their contributions for the wall. The
rest of the mural was painted according to section,
which allowed many (if not all) of the students to
paint at the same time. "The fact that we were unorga-
nized was a plus, because we were then able to do
our own thing, right off the top of our heads. I think
that it really made the mural that much better,"
said Scott.
In order to complete the mural in two class periods,
their was a great deal of planning to be done by the
students from the university. Students had to get from
their classes to the local elementary school quickly in
order to get the full two-and-half hours. "At first I felt
very rushed and didn't see us completing the mural
within our allotted time," (continued on p. 206)

process

(continued from p. 205) said senior Laura Greco.
They also had to work in the lobby ot the building
where many children and teachers of Spotswood
would pass by, making it difficult to keep on task.
"When it was time for the half day kindergarteners
to go home, they walked by the mural and one of
the little boys stopped and stared," said junior Allison
Miracco. "He commented to his friend about what
a good job he thought the college kids were doing and
how cool the wall looked. It really made me feel like
I was helping to brighen the children's school and
broaden their imaginations."
The space that the 2-D design class had to paint
was approximately 1 0 x 24 feet. Several physical obstacles
had to be overcome such as piping near the ceiling
and a door to the construction area in the middle of
the wall. With careful planning, the door became
part ot the mural without hampering the students
proposed drawing. The class also had to stay within
their budget and stretch the paint as far as it could
go and make the brushes last. Participants agreed their
biggest obstacle was the challenge to make the mural
non-racial. To help them out, the principal suggested
they make the kids in the mural primary colors so
as not to offend anyone.
Kelly Kerr took care of buying all of the supplies
and borrowing from the Spotswood art department.
She also surprised the class with candy to boost their
moral and to congratulate them on their teamwork
and their end product. "We were all getting frustrated
with the mural but when Kelly showed up with candy
it gave everyone a break and some more energy to
get the job done," said Scott.
As their second and final project day came to a
close, the students frantically painted the finishing
touches while trying not to drip paint on others working
beside them. The mural was designed to be interactive
with a blackboard in the center where 2-D students
signed their names. "I never knew that there was actually
paint that would create a chalkboard surface and even
after I saw the can, I didn't really think it was going
to work just like a chalkboard and was amazed when
it did," said senior Karl Channell. "It was a really
good idea, so that the mural could become interactive
and not just something that some college kids did."
When it was completed, the class took a step back
and realized what a wonderful job they had done and
how they had contributed to the children's lives with
a few cans of paint. "The mural was a brilliant idea
and a great opportunity for all of us non-art majors.
The school was really drab before and the mural in
the front hallway really brightened things up and made
the kids excited about going to school. But the best
part of all was that it was our idea and our hard work
that made everything happen," said Channell.
Two weeks after the mural was completed, the
class received a letter from the principal of Spotswood
thanking them and praising them on a wonderful job.
"I already felt good about painting the mural and how
it enhanced the children's lives, but when we got the
letter, it really hit me what we had done and how
much we had actually given back to the commu-
nity," said Rogers, theend

^ROOM
Modular Building
n„rrfach Center For
Shena"*
Tucked away in the woods between the
Convocation Center and UREC, the
Modulat building became the new home
for the School of Media Arts and Design. Before SMAD
made the move, it was crammed into Anthony-Seeger.
"The Breeze had more square footage than we had
in Anthony-Seeger," said Dr. George Johnson, the
director of SMAD. "Consequently, we were very
compressed and jammed into so many spaces. I'm
now surprised that we were able to do anything at all."
SMAD picked up and moved across the interstate
during the summer of 2000 and was ready to go by
the end of August. Former occupants like the Health
Sciences department moved to the new ISAT building,
therefore freeing up the space for SMAD. The danger
of getting across Main Street to Anthony-Seeger was
another reason for the move, a decision made by
President Linwood Rose and an executive council.
Even though long-term plans called for the program
to occupy the Modular building for only three to five
years, everyone seemed to be pleased with the move.
Not only did the new facility offer more space but
also for the first time, all of the faculty members and
most of the staff were located in the same building.
"The faculty have lor the first time the ability to freely
interact with one another and it creates great
Photo by Allison Miracco
synergy for us," commented Johnson.
The Modular building was also much newer and
in better shape than Anthony-Seeger. "We have our
own space without having to share places," said Professor
Roger Soenksen. Professor Alan Neckowitz seemed
to be in concordance with Soenksen. "There are enough
classrooms to hold programs in a meaningful way,
and they are good classrooms for the kind of classes
we teach," he said. "As a transition building, it's
quite adequate."
Students seemed to express the same opinions
as the faculty about the move. Junior SMAD major
Jennifer Hawkins liked the fact that more parking
was available and that she didn't have to cross Main
Street any more. "Plus the bathrooms are more modern
and there are brand new G4 computer labs in the
Modular," she said.
Junior Megan McDermott commented on the
convenience of the building. "It has been more
convenient to get to than Anthony-Seeger because I
live in Sunchase, but I feel like I am missing out on
the college atmosphere that exists around the Quad,"
she said.
Overall, most seemed to be content with the move.
Plus, the location was temporary and SMAD would
soon be on the move again. THEEND

Confident, funny and censored. Those
were three words Matt Duff, graduate of
the university and codirector of JMtv, used
to describe himself JMtv, the university's student-run
television show, aired as part of a SMAD television
practicum class. Each semester, students involved in
the practicum collaborated with one another to produce
shows that aired on cable network channel 4.
Duff who graduated in December 2000, had
worked on the show for three semesters. "It was probably
the most beneficial part of JMU for me," Duff said,
"I got to know to know how you can create a TV show
from preproduction to post. I've always loved TV and
I knew I would start my career in it."
Duff became involved with JMtv his junior year.
He co-hosted the show, which he admitted was a fun
experience, but felt that there was something lacking.
"I co-hosted with Lindsey Czarniak and we had a good
time together, but the format wasn't really there. It
was too 'Regis & Kathie Lee.'"
During his second semester with JMtv, Duff
decided he wanted to try and change the show's format,
so he began to explore what took place on the other
side of the camera. "I didn't want to pursue hosting
anymore because it's hard to keep the energy from
show to show with this kind of student production,"
Duff said. "So, the second semester I alternated as
both co-director and technical director of JMtv. I
also produced a couple of my own comedy segments
for the show which I had a great time with."
Although Duff enjoyed producing and starring
in his own segments, there was some material that
he wasn't allowed to use. "I didn't have any motivation
to do any [comedy segments] for the last two shows,"
he said. "The producers and the administration were
censoring the segments. I was just trying to play to
a college audience. I think they can handle the humor,
but some felt it was too racy to be on a college TV
station. I thought it was funny as hell and I know others
did too. That's why I feel in the future a network
like HBO would be the best place for me."
Duff began his efforts to start a career with such
networks by assembling a resume tape that consisted
of a sitcom pilot, a sketch comedy show and some
comedy shorts. "I will be probably working harder
this semester than ever. The resume tape will be finished
in early May, giving me 4-6 weeks to send it everywhere,"
said Duff.
When Duff said everywhere, he meant networks
that didn't tend to censor their content like college
campuses. "I would love to come up with programming
for HBO since you can do just about anything and
get away with it," Duff said. "I've been censored since
high school. I constantly feel that I need to push
the envelope."
■ Despite having some creative differences with
the show's producers at times, Duff wanted to continue
to devote as much time as he could to JMtv. While
his help may have been minimal due to the time he
had to put into the production of his resume tape,
his influence and ideas were sure to surface on future
episodes of JMtv. END

SENIOR KEVIN GAUTHIER REVIEWS
the nature of mathematics, MATH
1 03. Gauthier suspected he would
have to take a GenEd class his senior
year, but did not realize how hard
the class would be.Photo byKirsten
Nordt
The Class of 2001 was the first class to
graduate from JMU under the General
Education program. The goal of GenEd
was to give students a solid foundation in liberal arts
on which they could build their college careers. However,
in their final months of college, many seniors found
themselves sitting next to freshmen when they discovered
they still needed to fulfill GenEd requirements or
elective credits.
Kevin Gauthier, a SMAD major, waited until his
senior year to take his only required math class. Gauthier
had spent most of his college career taking classes related
to his major and felt annoyed when he realized he
needed to take the class in order to graduate. Gauthier
said, "Em a SMAD major, a graphic designer. Why
do I need to take a basic math class?" Gauthier decided
to take Math 103, The Nature of Mathematics, because
it was the lowest-level class he could take to satisfy
the General Education requirement. However, Gauthier
soon discovered that lower-level classes don't always
mean easy A's. "You think, 'Math 103, how easy can
it get,' but that was the most difficult class I've ever
taken." While the class was comprised mostly of
freshmen, Gauthier formed a bond with the handful
of seniors in the class. "We hung out in the back [and]
we all complained about it." Gauthier felt that
underclassmen took the class more seriously, while
fellow seniors were just trying to fulfill graduation
requirements. "Our philosophy was, [the grade] 'D'
is for Diploma."
While some seniors dreaded taking required GenEd
classes, others saw it as an opportunity to take other
courses that they were interested in.
Amanda Frazier, an English major, took GKIN
100, the Walk/log class, her last semester at the university.
"/ saw

"I needed another three credit hours and I hadn't
had a PE. class since high school and 1 thought it would
be a good thing to do for myself," she said. While
Frazier enjoyed the course, she felt a little out of place
when she first arrived in class. "I'm pretty sure I was
the oldest person in class. We had to fill out a sheet
the first day and I noticed everyone around me said
they were 18 or 19. I'm 22."
Chrystal Jones, a SMAD major who also took
GKIN 100, felt aware of the age difference between
her and her classmates. "While I didn't think I stood //'()/ II fllg/l
out, I felt really old when I saw students wearing 'Class Sc/lOOl ic/ietl 1
of 2000' shirts and knowing that they just gradu-
ated from high school when I was getting ready to
graduate from college."
While some seniors felt out of place in these
lower-level classes, every day, professors taught GenEd JTOJ71 College.
courses to students of different ages who had various
reasons for taking the classes. An assistant professor
of philosophy didn't feel that the presence of seniors
negatively affected the environment of his Philoso-
phy 101 classes. He said, "At the end of the day, it
doesn't seem to make much of a difference to the
level of discussion in the class."
He wasn't sure why so many seniors waited to
the last minute to take the required GenEd courses.
"I suspect in some cases this was actually because (in
past semesters) there simply wasn't enough seats in the
classes for them, but that in other cases, it was simply
the student's fault."
Whether students took the classes in their final
semesters due to lack of planning or out of a desire
to get a more complete education, the trend of
seniors taking GenEd classes would undoubtedly
continue. THEEND

goes on
here. "
of his time working with the campus
radio station WXJM. He had his own
show once a week which highlighted
progressive rock. Photo by Kirsten Nordt
For anyone who listened to WXJM, the
name Jody Abbott should ting a major bell.
Abott, a WXJM veteran with three semesters
of DJ experience, surrounded himself with music in
and out of school. "I've always been into music and
bands — I play drums and guitar — and when I
transferred here, I figured there'd be some cool people
I'd meet at the station that I'd have something in
common with," he said.
Indeed there were, but working his way into the
position of progressive music director didn't happen
overnight. "When I first got involved, I watched all
of the important people that had jobs do their stuff
and just sort of tagged along. I would hang out and
do random stuff around the station," he said.
Abbott provided a definition for those unfamiliar
with WXJM's progressive music format. "It's alternative,
I guess, in a Y2K sense of the word. Alternative now
is Thitd Eye Blind and all that stuff you hear on the
radio, but anything you can't hear on the top 40, that's
the stuff that goes on here," he said.
Considering that roughly half of the station's air
time was progressive music, his position was particularly
demanding. "I talk to all of the record labels and record
promotion companies a couple of times a week," he
said. "By talking to them, we get service from them
and they send us the music tor free. That's what really
keeps the station going. We get the music into rotation
and that's what you hear on the air." On top of that,
he did the station's weekly top 30 charts and reported
them to the national College Music Journal.
A junior SCOM public relations major with a
music industry minor, Abbott hoped to build a career
in the music business after graduation, hoping to
secure his dream job of being an artist and repertoire
executive for a major record label. As he explained it,
the job would entail being paid a lot of money to
go around to various clubs scoping out talent. "He
goes around and when he sees something that he thinks
is really good or really fresh or whatever, he brings it
into theit label, and of course that's how bands get
introduced to the big executives and possibly get signed."
Another of Aborts significant contributions to
the university's music scene was his involvement with
the Mid Atlantic College Radio Conference
(MACRoCk). This involved bringing in numerous
bands and showcasing the music genres played on
WXJM. "I was the head guy that ran the show all day-
long," he said. "We help the bands out, show them
where to be, and change up the stage. I am the coordina-
tor of that who makes sure everything runs smoothly."
Although it started small, MACRoCk gained
more exposure every year of its existence. It was originally
a challenge to get bands to play at the April event but
Abott explained that things had drastically changed.
"A lot of bands will come in and play for free because
it's a really good thing as fat as exposure. Last year
people from promotions companies were coming down
from L.A. and New York to see it."
Abbott described a trip he took with WXJM staff
members to New York earlier in the year. "When the
executives asked 'Where are you from?' and we said
JMU in Virginia, they were like, 'Oh, yeah, that's
where you have MACRoCk.' It was pretty cool. A
lot of work goes into it but it really pays off." 1 END

HOUSEMATES OF THE DECK HOUSE

located in the front and back "The decks
hold up the house,"said old
residents of the house. Phoro by
Laura Greco
Out of the 20 people living at 437 South
Mason St., known popularly as the
"Deckhouse," the junior occupants of
apartment C spoke of their home fondly. Though it
took a while to get to know people, resident Andrew
Price said an overall chumminess soon spanned the
living quarters. "Today the four of us went out to eat
and when we came back a girl from upstairs and a girl
from downstairs were in my room surfing the Internet."
A friend, Jen Mullen, said, "You can walk into
anywhere, into anyone's apartment at any time." And
it seemed that the multiple decks, the defining feature
of the house, brought it's inhabitants together. Mullen
described the decks as being "definitely communal.
Everybody knows each other and there are all these
random connections of people."
They referred to the front deck as the people-
watching deck, where warmer afternoons were spent,
though they admitted that deck bonding was more
of a summer thing. "When it gets to 50 degrees that's
wishful thinking," said Nicholson.
In spite of being inhibited by cold weather, the
deck feature seemed to inspire prospective tenants to
sign on. Nicholson said, "Pretty much as soon as our
landlord showed us the decks we looked at each other
and nodded our heads."
Despite the general deck obsession, the inside
of apartment C was as cool as the outside. The living
room furniture was covered in leopard print and the
extensive video collection inspired a tangential conversa-
tion about the genius of Kevin Smith. The fish tank
was also a popular attraction. "Everybody loves the
fish tank. Drunk people come in and name the fish.
This one is Mother Sucker. That one is Agent
Orange," said Nicholson.
Despite the friendly-trendy atmosphere of the
Deckhouse, it had it's share of odd memories. The
roommates recounted an odd episode with an army
of wild albino cats that took up habitation on the various
decks. "They were mean," said Nicholson. "They'd
attack you and snarl at you." He told a story of going
to take a shower one morning and hearing hissing, and
when he pulled back the bathroom curtains, "There
were four nasty psycho cats staring up at me with their
beady pink eyes and their fangs."
Roommate Jeremy Nimtz told of a time not long
after the Forrest Hill riot when they all sat outside. A
five-year-old girl dressed in riot gear came up to them
and insisted on checking their cups to see if they were
drinking beer. "I said to her, Are you going to pull
your gun on me?' and she said, 'I didn't bring my gun.'
Then she reached in her pocket and said, 'But I did
bring my numchucks.' She had numchucks in her
pocket. It was the funniest thing."
Even with such unique stories and strange
occurences, it was clear that the decks gave the house
character, something that other living spaces in
Harrisonburg couldn't claim. "There are a lot of standard
cookie cutter apartments but this place reminds me
of that movie Swiss Family Robinson," said Nicholson.
"It's like living in a weird dorm. It's built so randomly,
with no form, all built on at awkward angles." And
the decks. Ah, the decks. They spoke for them-
selves. THE END
"It's like

FEMINISM
DR. SUZANNE BOST, A PROFESSOR IN
the English department, heads up the
feminist magazine, S/ster Speo/c. She
has been involved in feminism since
she was a child. Photo by Kirsten Nordt
"People
often
think of
feminism
on the
.suffice. . .
but it's
more than
that. "
As a third year professor at the university,
Dr. Suzanne Bost was a lover of feminist
- theory and literature. She was involved with
the women's studies program at the university, teaching
classes such as women's literature, feminist theory,
Latino literature, and American studies. Aside from
her classes, she was also involved in the WMST
reading group.
Dr. Bost was the sponsor of Sister Speak, a feminist
literary magazine that had grown tremendously since
its formation. "I first got the idea tor Sister Speak my
first semester here because several of my students who
turned in weekly response papers wanted the university
to know what feminism was," she said. Often referred
to as the "F-word," feminism was not a new subject
to the university. Dr. Bost said that "Sister Speak
exists to help overcome that stigma."
Dr. Bost felt that Sister Speak was influential in
many women's lives, particularly when more students
were involved. The students involved in Sister Speak
now had a chance to have a "public voice." Dr. Bost
said that the magazine "might get people interested
who otherwise resist feminism to consider it from
new angles. Many people have no idea that they are
surrounded by feminists and that that's a good
thing. People often think of feminism as either
purely political or purely academic." Teaching
changed Dr. Bost's research by leading her to new
texts in "searching for the ways in which feminism
is really already a part of students' lives and interests."
When she was younger, she wanted to be a priest
because she realized how much power and influence
the priesthood had over her church. Her dreams
were crushed when she was told that she could only
become a nun. Through teaching feminist theory and
other related courses and through sponsoring Sister
Speak, Dr. Bost felt that she had achieved her
"priesthood." "I feel like I'm a secular priest of sorts,
teaching my students what feminism actually is,"
she said. "I just wear pants instead of robes." ^ END

HISTORY
Created in 1989, the efforts of Senior Class
Challenge (SCC) participants had raised
over $200,000 and benefited numerous
areas of the university, including Carrier Library, various
scholarship funds, career services and the arboretum.
The SCC campaigns main goal was to raise money
through donations and pledges to fund a senior gift
that would enable the class to have an impact on the
university for years to come. Each senior class was
"challenged" by the previous class to create a more
successful campaign, which in years past, simply meant
increasing the amount of money pledged. However,
the Senior Class of 2001 decided to take a different
approach that may have ultimately changed the face
of future Senior Class Challenges.
The goal of the SCC was to speak directly with
every member of the Class of 2001. In addition to
personal and phone solicitations, a letter campaign
was also used to reach those seniors who had not pledged
during one-on-one efforts.
Pledged dollars comprised the bulk of money raised.
However, successfully fulfilling those pledges was
difficult. The SCC focused on collecting money from
seniors before they graduated yet still gave them the
option of pledging additional money. The campaign
hoped to have $40,000 already in hand before gradua-
tion in May. "The planning and strategies that went
into this year's campaign were unlike any other year.
We decided that some changes needed to be made
in order to increase participation and secure contribu-
tions before seniors left. We're confident that our
goals will be met," said SCC co-chair Teisha Garrett.

After deciding how the money would be raised, the
SCC Steering Committee had to begin research on
potential projects that eventually became another
groundbreaking aspect of the campaign.
Since meetings began in September, many proposals
were offered to the Steering Committee. The decision
was then passed along in November to the senior class
for official voting. Participants were given the option
of voting online, on The Commons, or through The
Breeze. Seniors chose from the following projects: a
scholarship fund, law library renovations, a mural in
Warren, JMU farm renovations and a James Madison
room in Sonner Hall.
After voting was completed, Carrier's law library
renovations and the mural in Warren were chosen.
As discussion on the newly chosen project began,
SCC members discovered that the Class of 1951 had
also decided to help fund the library facility. It was
agreed upon that both classes would collaborate to
hind the renovations, marking the first time the SCC
had brought together the current senior class and
alumni to fund a major project, keeping with the
spirit of "All Together One." Pledge money collected
within the following two years after graduation
would also be used to fund Carrier Library resources.
As a second and smaller project, the senior class
chose to fund a wall mural in Warren Hall. The theme
and design was undecided at the time of the voting,
but plans called for the mural to be completed by
May 2001 , providing graduating seniors with something
tangible for their efforts before they left. 'HE END

BUSINESS
Day after dav. no other academic building
was buzzing like Zane Showker Hall,
home of the College of Business. As students
raced across the marble floors to make it to class on
time, they passed other students standing in the hallways
discussing business practices and others waiting in
line to work in the computer labs. The college admits
on its website, "It's like a beehive over here." While
at times, Zane Showker seemed busier than a beehive;
students appreciated the fast-paced atmosphere,
which mimicked the immediacy of the business world.
Students in die college had a wide variety of majors
to choose from-the college offered nine undergradu-
ate majors and two graduate programs. Many students
chose to become business majors because they felt
that they learned a wide variety of skills in COB classes
and that the business degree was versatile. Rachel
Dunn, a sophomore accounting major, said, "Even
if you don't go into the business world, you can still
get a job doing anything you want-it's not limiting.''
One of the most notorious classes in the college
was COB 300, a cluster of four classes students take
in their junior year.
Students worked together in groups to complete
work for each class, but during the semester, they worked
on a final project that integrated skills they learned
in all four classes. Senior Lesley Stein, a marketing
major, believes that while COB 300 is demanding,
it gives students good experience in finance, marketing,
management, and operations management. Stein
also felt that the class helped students find their path
in the business major. "Since you don't really take
classes in your specific major until after (you complete)
COB 300, you get to see what different majors have
to offer. Personally, I entered the college as a
finance major, but I'd never taken a finance class before.
After taking COB 300, I realized the marketing
major was a better fit for me."
COB 300 was one of the most unique features
of the College of Business, as it made businesses around
the country take notice. Sarah Schambach, a sophomore
CIS major, was a summer intern at an internet service
provider in Northern Virginia. Her employer was
impressed that she went to JMU because of the
reputation of the College of Business. Schambach
said, "My employer said that JMU is definitely the
place to go because of COB 300. The class gives you
experience in all areas of business management and
with running your own business."
Another attribute of the college's high standards
were the interdisciplinary units and support institutions
incorporated within COB. There were many resources
for students and faculty such as the Office of Economic
Services, which maintained permanent data on
national, state and local economies, and the National
Center for Professional Development, which offered
continuing education.
There were also support organizations within
COB that focused on helping local businesses such
as the Small Business Development Center and the
Center for Direct Interactive, Retail and Marketing.
An innovative program the Center for Entrepreneur-
ship, which began in 1985, was created to promote
and maintain the national economy by encouraging
innovations and creating new enterprises.
Many students who weren't business majors may
just see Zane Showker Hall as a "beehive." In
reality, it was a building that housed a forward-thinking
college that is committed to equipping students
with skills they needed for the real world. , END

As students began to reach their senior year,
thoughts of wedding bells rang in their
ears. Most seniors turned 21 by the begin-
ning of the year and began to think about their future.
For most students in serious relationships, the thought
of marriage was prevalent. Along with the pressure
of graduating from college and getting a job, many
couples were busy planning for their big day. Senior
Leah Kirkpatrick was married in the Arboretum in
August 2000 and senior Alison Godfrey married in
May 2001 . Although these girls had to endure the
stress of their classes, their dreams of the perfect wedding
kept them going.
Kirkpatrick met her husband in Converse Hall
in January 1999 during a hall function when they
happened to sit next to each other. While talking
with Matt Kirkpatrick, (her husband to be), about
an upcoming hall event, they became engrossed in
their conversation, staying up all night Kirkpatrick
said that they "never finished the hall project, but
we became inseparable." Six months later, they were
engaged. Matt proposed to Leah on the steps at Wilson
Hall, "a place with special meaning for us because
that is where we officially became a couple," said Leah.
Matt could not stop smiling and said to Leah, "this
is where we first became an official couple, let's make
it official again." With that, he got down on his knees
and pulled a litde box out of his pocket. "I had a whole
speech prepared," Matt said, "but I can't remember
any of it. Will you marry me?" Of course, Leah
said "yes."
Since Leah and Matt met at the university, they
decided to get married in the Arboretum. Leah had
always wanted an outdoor summer wedding and
considered the Arboretum the perfect spot. Leah and
Matt worked diligently to create the perfect wedding.
Along with the help of her bridesmaids, family, and
friends, Leah created her own flower arrangements.
After the ceremony, they had a horse-drawn surrey
take them to Wilson Hall so they could be photographed
at the place where so many special moments of their
relationship had taken place.
They held their reception at the Joshua Wilton
House where the couple often had afternoon tea. Family
and friends performed most of the music and their
first dance was to an accordion (continued on p. 226)
"It was
a perfect
day and
it was
completely
our own. "

and Leah by a friend from Finland. "Sometimes people
get so caught up in having the perfect wedding that
they don't really enjoy themselves," Leah said. "Matt
and I were blessed. We had a great time at our own
wedding, and everything went beautifully. It was a
perfect day, and it was completely our own. Someone
was smiling down on us."
Senior Alison Godfrey spent her entire senior
year preparing for her May wedding. She and her
fiance, Ross Fuller, met at the Virginians movie theater
in Fredericksburg in 1997 where she caught his eye.
"I was there with my best friend," she said, "and he
was there with some of his friends. After the movie
was over, my best friend and I got into her car and
realized that she had left her lights on, so the battery
was dead. At that exact moment, Ross walked over
to say hello. Then he jump started her car." Godfrey
gave Fuller her number and the rest was history.
Fuller proposed to Godfrey in April 2000. "We
were on a fly fishing/camping trip on the Jackson River,"
she said. "He said that I needed a fly that sank instead
of the floating one I was using. He handed me his
little pocket tackle box and inside was my ring!" She
turned back to look at him and he was down on one
knee right in the middle of the river, asking her to
marry him. They later went to a little bed and breakfast
where he had a new dress and new shoes waiting for
her. As they dined at the Homestead restaurant that
evening, he had a dozen roses waiting on the table
for her. The day could not have been more perfect.
They had set a date and now the two of them
were busy with school and the final details of their
upcoming wedding. "Planning the wedding right now
is pretty hectic," said Godfrey. Although she and Fuller
were able to get many things done over the summer
and Christmas break, some things could not be done
so far in advance, such as addressing the invitations,
picking out the menu, dress fittings, and so on. Fuller
was a dental student at UNC, while Godfrey worked
diligently to find a job in North Carolina. She also
spent her last year at the university preparing to student
teach in the spring and move to a different state.
"Sometimes I feel like there are too many life changes
right now like getting married, graduating from college,
starting a career, moving to a new state," Godfrey
said, "but it's all so exciting. I can't wait!"
Fuller and Godfrey knew soon after they started
dating that they wanted to get married, as did the
Kirkpatrick's. Once a person had found that special
someone, it was impossible to ignore the fact that
they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.
Several other seniors were in the process of getting
engaged before graduation. Even though graduat-
ing, finding a job, and getting married were big events
in these girls' lives, they were happy and wanted the
world to know that you could find your true love while
working hard in college. Although Godfrey had the
pressure of planning a wedding and Kirkpatrick had
the pressure of making a marriage work, they were
always happy and always supported by their friends
and classmates, th e end

hen I'm in an unfamiliar environ
ment, I latch onto something familiar,
but if I don't have that familiarity, I can
be totally with the people, totally immersed," said Cheryl
Conover. This is why Conover, a senior international
business major and German minor, chose to apply to
the Peace Corps. "The kind of situations they put you
in, they force you to get immersed in the society,"
she said.
Originally from Westminster, Md., Conover
said that she had always been interested in anything
international. When she visited her older sister Kelly
in Madagascar for two weeks, Conover fell in love
with the culture. "1 had been to Europe before, but
not a developing country," she said. "I just loved it.
It was almost like stepping outside of a bubble. It
was refreshing."
On the plane ride back, Conover did a lot of
thinking and praying about what she wanted to take
from her experience in Africa. She said that she knew
she wanted to do something for others whether it was
in the United States or somewhere around the world.
A friend got her interested in the Peace Corps,
but she said that she never knew that they had programs
that fit her. She had always thought that the Peace Corps
only dealt with agriculturally based projects until she
visited their site on the Internet. After learning more
about the organization, she decided to apply.
The whole process began last spring but she actually
applied in July. There was a short health check and
interview held at the end of October and then she was
nominated for business advising positions in French-
speaking West Africa. Passing everything up to that
point, she had to wait to hear final word.

There were extensive medical forms to be filled
out by various doctors and several different tests to
be taken. Once that was done, the decision went to
a final placement board. Each applicant's qualifications
and health concerns were looked at and matched up
to places where they were needed. The applicants were
allowed to indicate locations they preferred to go to,
but the placement board would ultimately make
the final decision.
Applicants found out where they were placed no
later than the first week of March if they were chosen.
"It really depends on how flexible you are. I wouldn't
rule out going anywhere, but I really want to go to
Africa," Conover said as a smile formed on her face.
"By going to visit, I just fell in love with it. I was
fascinated by it and by the people living there and I
wanted to learn more."
If chosen, Conover wanted to locus on forming
relationships with the people she would be living with.
She was not particularly fond of working with people
based on secondhand knowledge. She preferred to fully
experience everything for herself while she was there.
If chosen, the term would last for 27 months with
two full years of service and three months of training
at the beginning of each term. Each person chosen
for the program was trained in the country that they
were placed in. While there, each person's job was to
figure out the specific needs of people in their country
and to design a program based on their findings. They
received very litde money during the term so that they
could fully experience the culture they were placed
in. "I don't think you can really know or understand
until you see it," said Conover. the end

TAKING A WELCOMED BREAK FROM
his busy schedule, senior Hunter Tabony

"I thought
it was
a great
opportunity
to create a
community. "
Afire drill in the middle of the night had
most campus residents covering their ears
with a pillow and hoping that it would turn
off. But for some students, the responsibility was too
great to just roll over and go back to sleep. This was
just one of many unique experiences that select students
encountered through their jobs as hall directors.
Hall directors in each of the university's residence
halls had many responsibilities and duties that taught
them valuable skills that could not be found in a
classroom. Leadership, public relations and manage-
ment skills were all part of the learning experience
of their job.
I he position proved to be a big time commitment
to juggle with school. As the staff leader for the resident
advisers, they were a resource that also acted as a
channel between the RAs and the upper management.
For the residents, hall directors acted as the building
coordinator and produced creative programs, activities
and learning opportunities.
In addition to the other responsibilities, hall
directors spent a lot of time in meetings each week.
These included staff and individual meetings with
the RAs and also individual conferences with their
supervisors. In general, hall directors got one weekend
off per month, but the experience, for most, was worth
the time and sacrifices.
"I chose this position because I thought it was a
great opportunity to create a community and see the
result of my actions as a success," said Hunter Tabony,
a senior SMAD major and hall director for Gifford Hall.
Tabony, like many other hall directors, said that every
day was a new experience since the events that they
were confronted with were so unpredictable.
There were benefits to having the position such
as free rent for their apartments, a steady monthly
income and a primo campus parking space. Yet most
said that the job itself provided its own benefits. "You
gain a good experience and also a group of friends
that you might not otherwise have," said Tabony.
Overall, being a hall director provided a good
learning experience and some memorable moments
in the lives of the students who were able to participate.
"It's so much more of everything than what I would
have thought. I like the opportunities that I get and
that I am able to accomplish things and help out
people," said Tabony. thfend

I am here to serve the students. My identity,
my purpose is found in my service for and
with students. All students, not just Catholic
students; however they may need me," said Father
John Grace
Grace was a young adult himself when he started
to explore his Catholic faith and community service
while attending St. Meinrad's College in New York.
"When I was in college there were spiritual mentors
who respected me enough to give me the freedom
to explore the meaning of my faith. They challenged
me not to be engaged in self-absorbed thought, but
to be involved, despite questions about my faith, in
the real world. Personal spirituality, the life of the church
community, and activism in the world all combined
and the idea of being a minister in the church was
very appealing to me," he said.
So appealing, in fact, that Grace followed his
vocation to become a priest and was ordained in 1979.
Grace served in parishes in Norfolk, Virginia Beach
and Lynchburg, Va. for 10 years before being called
by the Diocese in Richmond to minister to students.
Grace said that his experiences in college shaped
his view of campus ministry, a view that revolved heavily
around the idea of community. "As each individual
chooses to share themself in love and service tor others
they create a living community. In turn, communities
reinforce the uniqueness of each member by bringing
out those individual gifts around a shared vision and
mission. CCM's uniqueness is found in its desire to
have students create their own church community .
. . where everyone can respond to the call of Christ
to 'come and follow' and make a difference in the
greater community," he said.
Grace chose to make a difference in other areas
beyond CCM as well. He was also involved with the
social fraternity Theta Chi, and though it may have
been unusual to see an adult in such an organization,
the brothers saw it differently. Grace served as Theta
Chi's adviser and was an active brother. Junior Peter
McDonough, vice president of operations for Theta
Chi, said, "The brothers were the ones who first asked
Father John to join us. Many of us knew him through
CCM. We see him as the most virtuous man any of
us have seen in our life. As a pledge that's what we
look for, men of honor. He goes above and beyond
any expectation we could ever hope for."
Along with his roles at Catholic Campus Ministries
and Theta Chi, Grace extended his service to organizing
memorial services and dorm programs for the university
and worked with other campus ministries. Student
Campus Minister Nancy Condon said, "Father John
has a message for everyone, not just for Catholics on
this campus. His message is universal. He has these
homilies on Sunday where he speaks to a specific
audience, but I think everybody can relate to the things
that he talks about. I think that's why he's so involved
on campus, because he really speaks to the students."
During his remaining years at the university.
Father John Grace made a commitment to serve
and involve himself in the community and continue
impacting lives. Grace remarked, "God gave us life to
live it fully. There's an adventure, a journey in life. An
awakening. I think that's college." 1 END

friends
asleep on

Ue want

to feel
welcome
in our
home. "
Tucked away on the busy corner of South
Main and North Liberty Street was the
unique home of four senior guys and four
"resident" underclassmen.
Located under the large Camelot House on 61 1
South Main St., the four-bedroom residence was
appropriately named "Underground." The actual
residents included seniors Geoff Stenger, Adam Keath,
Matt Kapps and Tyler Hansen. Freshmen Chris
Bognanno, Joseph Mills, Zane Hart and sophomore
Josh Browning also claimed the Underground as their
home-away-from-the-residence hall because of all the
time they spent there. Mills commented, "I love being
here. It feels like home to me."
The Underground apartment had traditionally
been home to Christian men for the past four years.
Strangely, some of the former residents of the Under-
ground had promised the apartment to Stenger, Keath,
and Hansen, while another housemate had promised
it to Kapps as well. Realizing the goof, they agreed
to live together to compromise the situation.
The Underground had a welcoming atmosphere.
The floor plan included a brightly colored living
area with a semi-circle of couches around the television,
four bedrooms decorated according to each guy's
liking, and a large kitchen. "The best part are the
two TVs stacked on top of one another. On Sundays
we can watch football and something else,"
commented Hansen.
Their dog Bella was given full roam of the house
and added to the welcoming atmosphere of the
household as well. Hansen added, "It is not unusual
to come into the apartment and find one of our friends
asleep on the couch. We want everyone to feel welcome
in our home."
Most of the housemates became friends during
their freshmen year. However, their faith in Cod seemed
to be their common ground. Through participation
in campus youth groups such as Young Life and
InterVarsity, the housemates became closer with their
"resident" underclassmen friends. Hansen explained,
"Our participation in Young Life and InterVarsity
bonds us all together. That is how we all met." THEEND

^ULTIMATE,
A key to the success of JMU's athletic teams
has always been the support of the fans.
Senior David Gould's enthusiasm for JMU's
athletics was unparalleled by any other college student.
Since first stepping onto campus, Gould was
involved in the sports scene. He played rugby as a
freshman but a broken nose forced him to give it up.
He quickly picked up the job of assistant to Lefty
Driesell's basketball team. He earned a varsity letter
for his hard work typifying Gould's relentless pursuit
to be involved with sports at JMU. He also participated
in football, Softball and floor hockey through UREC's
intramural program.
"I've always been into sports, playing and coaching
youth basketball in high school as well as playing golf
for two years and swimming for one," says David.
Gould's dedication to sports reached farther than
merely playing a few sports. He happened to be one
of the most vocal supporters of all the Dukes teams,
regularly attending football games, men and women's
basketball, men and women's soccer matches and
volleyball matches. He has also dropped by some field
hockey games and wrestling matches while at JMU.
SPORTS TEAMS NEED ALL THE SUPPORT
they can get and David Gould shows
his support by painting his face and
dressing up. Anyone that went to a
football or basketball game knew Gould
as the super fan. Photo by Kirstin Reid

entire Homecoming parade around
the parade route. Gould was very
honored to be chosen to march in
the parade because of his love for
the Dukes. Photo by Kirstin Reid
While many people claimed to have attended
many sports events, few could claim to have been as
recognizable as Gould. "I'm probably best known for
my painted face and chest and purple hair or maybe
the purple and yellow striped socks," says Gould.
"Other people probably know me as the guy who
walks around campus with a pointy purple hat with
gold stars and bells on it."
Sitting at the 45 yard line at football games or
in the Dawg Pound at basketball games, Gould was
hard to miss. If you attended a football or basketball
game within the last four years, it was likely that you
probably caught a glimpse of this super fan.
Going far and above what most fans could
accomplish, Gould led the Homecoming Parade in
October dressed in his standard garb. He also was an
active member of the student Duke club and the
Swing club.
As Gould prepared to graduate, he set his eyes on
teaching and possibly coaching basketball. Judging
from the enthusiasm he showed for JMU, getting a
job as a coach posed no problem for the spirited
Duke. THEEND

Hundreds of family members and friends
gathered in the Convocation Center to
watch hundreds of graduates end their
college career. As Dr. Rose finished his speech, fans
and graduates anxiously awaited those famous last
words: "I now declare you graduates of James Madison
University." The cheers rocked the stands as everyone
applauded with smiles on their faces.
The turnout for December graduation was one
of the biggest ever. Over 500 of the graduates were
fifth year students, with several other graduates earning
masters and doctoral degrees. Senior Farrah Pickering
commented on December graduation. "I thought
the graduation ceremony was much different from
May graduation. It felt like it was just thrown together
so quickly. The parking was awful, but walking across
that stage and getting that little piece of paper gave
me a sense of satisfaction. I knew that it was finally
over, and I was a little sad about it."
National Teacher of the Year from 1998 Philip
Bigler was the guest speaker. As a graduate of the
university, the opportunity to speak meant a great
deal to him. Bigler had much to say on the importance
of a college education and that receiving a degree from
this university was a tremendous honor. He reiterated
his enthusiasm over and over again, saying that this
school was the "best experience of his life," giving
the attending graduates a sense of hope.
The majority of December graduates were fifth
year students, many of whom had transferred, spent
a semester abroad, or had an internship and had to
stay to finish taking required classes. Senior Kevin
Fryman spent a semester working in Disneyworld.
"I wouldn't take it back for the world," Fryman said.
"It was a wonderful experience." Senior Mandy Crocker
was a transfer student from Longwood College who
also had to stay an extra year. "I lost a lot of credits,"
she said, "that's why I stayed an extra semester. I don't
regret transferring because I met some wonderful
people here."
Although graduating in December was not what
many students intended, most found that they didn't
mind hanging around for an extra semester. Some
students were able to graduate early by having the
option of December graduation. Most seniors, however,
chose to wait until May to graduate. Pickering was
thankful to graduate in December saying diat although
"there was nothing special about that day. I felt like
I had achieved a great accomplishment. I am very
proud to be a graduate of JMU and I am glad that I
had the opportunity to graduate in December rather
than wait until May." THtEND

EDUCATION &

Y
ou close \ our eyes and think: College of Education
and Psychology, College of Education and Psychology,
College of Education and Psychology, and its as if
some surreal vision forms in your mind with the delicacy of a
floating cloud.
The brick building hugs tight to the hill upon which it stands,
surrounded bv a militia of willows whose drooping branches
toss and turn in the light breeze. You continue up the gravel
walkway, books clutched against your side, not knowing what
to expect. Slowly, as the distance between you and the school
lessens, you make out a white wrap-around porch. Men in white
lab coats seem to float along the porch in clusters, bald heads
tucked into their necks as they ponder the workings of the human
mind. Others rock back and forth on unstable rocking chairs,
arms folded across their smoking jackets, pipes dangling precariously
from their mouths. On the lawn, amidst the smell of freshly
clipped grass, you pause and watch kinesiology students at work
while around them, Pavlov's dogs frolic and snap and yelp at
each other in playful glee.
There are so many other things to see, so many, but your
vision begins to cloud over. You lose grasp and watch everything
gently fade away. Your version of the College of Education and
Psychology becomes nothing but a glimmer in the vast abyss
of your mind.
Okay.
So perhaps this idealized (and somewhat stereotypical) vision
isn't what the College of Education and Psychology was like. Even
though it wasn't some mystical Kubla Khan, the college definitely
had its presence on campus, as testified by the students involved
in its various academic programs.
Stated plainly in their mission, the college aimed toward "the
development of the personal and professional potential of students
and the advancement of the professions in education, psychology,
kinesiology, and military science."
If you were looking for someone interested in the inner
workings of the mind, inspired by people like Sigmund Freud
and Wilhelm Wundt, and enraptured with the ability to interpret
dreams, fantasies, and nightmares, the program of study in
psychology was most likely where you would find them. The
psychology major offered a variety of courses, beginning with
general psychology and gradually delving deeper and deeper into
the human psyche with courses on thanatology (the study of
dealing with death) and forensic psychology. The School also
offered independent study programs and provided
numerous opportunities for summer internships with such
agencies as the American Psychological Society and the U.S.
Department of State.
The School of Education was the second of the tour programs
of study within the college. Areas of educational study ranged
from early childhood education to adult education and school
administration. Teaching licensures and accreditation were provided
through the school as well. The general formula for a major
included three years of courses to prepare for the fourth semester
in which field work was done in the form of student teaching.
Some would say that teaching was a crazy idea but to the graduates
and current students in the School of Education, the passing of
knowledge and wisdom from old to young, experienced to inexperi-
enced, was a feeling no other program of study could provide.
Others still were called across the football fields and basketball
and tennis courts and enrolled in a program of study with the
School of Kinesiology. These were the people who loved the
outdoors, who relished the feeling of every muscle in their body
working in sync towards a common goal, be it on a field or
towards a finish line. The undergraduate program provided students
with concentrations in all aspects of the physical realm, including
athletic training, exercise management, and much more. The
School of Kinesiology was where the coaches and athletic heroes
of tomorrow were tempered and molded.
Walking through campus, you spotted a helicopter delicately
lift off the ground, women in fatigues clustered inside its belly.
Then you saw more fatigued figures rappelling off of Eagle Hall
like human spiders and lines of them with weapons at their sides.
These were the members of the School of Military Science, where
the defenders of our country were created. Remember, however,
that defense didn't mean firing off rounds or intense physical
training. Rather, groups like the ROTC and the Duke Batallion
stressed mental training as well through various leadership courses.
Despite this general overview, the College of Education
and Psychology meant many things to many people, whether
they were enrolled in one of the programs of study or were simply
outsiders satiating their curiosity.
So for those of you without a personal vision of the College,
step a little closer.
Come on. Don't be afraid ... Just watch out for Pavlov's dogs-
they love nipping toes ... thfEND

'7 know
now that
if you are
dedicated
to something,
it should be
wholeheartedly,
t:
hese past 4 years have been the best years
of my life," said Senior Amy Talley as a
tear formed in the corner of her eye, "all
because of my experience with the Dukettes."
Talley, a therapeutic recreation major and
psychology minor from Fredricksburg, Va. had been
part of the Dukettes since her freshman year and was
currently one of two captains on the team.
Talley's admiration tor the Dukettes began when
she was a small child. Her parents, who were JMU
alumni, would take her to football games where she
would stare in awe of the Dukette halftime performances.
"I was very impressed with the Dukettes — how they
looked, how they performed, their level of skill,"
said Talley. "I wanted to be a part of that."
Talley began dancing when she was 6 years old
and trained competitively both in the studio and
for her dance team at Chancellor High School in
Fredricksburg. After receiving her letter of acceptance
from the university, she decided to try out for the
DUKETTE AMY TALLEY PERFORMS FOR
football fans at a home game. Talley
wanted to be a Dukette since she was
a small child watching the games.

Dukettes in April of her senior year but was doubtful
she was good enough to make the team. Fate would
eventually prove her wrong. Talley was one of the 1 4
girls who made the team that year out of 65 who went
out for the team. Despite her strong background in
dance, she was shocked to be chosen.
During her college years, Talley learned and grew
from her experience as a member of the award-
winning Dukettes. Her hard work and dedication
to the team paid off in many aspects of her life. Being
a part of the Dukettes not only boosted her self-esteem
and physical fitness but also taught her the value of
commitment. "I know now that if you are dedicated
to something, it should be wholeheartedly," said
Talley. "You may think you're giving 1 10 percent,

Aside from the grandeur of dancing at football
and basketball games, being part of the Dukettes gave
her many other interesting opportunities and activities.

every August. In lieu or practices and rigorous routines,
the Dukettes had the opportunity to compete with
several other schools and were voted Best All-Around
and won first place in competition tor the past 3 years.
As a Dukette, there were also plenty of opportu-
nities for travel. Talley's first year on the Dukettes
took her to Europe to perform for the royal family
of Monaco in celebration of the family's 700-year reign.
The year 2000 brought the Dukettes to a New
Year's celebration in Athens, Greece to kick off the
countdown to the 2004 Olympics and to the inaugural
parade for President Bush in Washington, D.C.
Despite the fanfare, the traveling and the
excitement, Talley admitted she would miss her
teammates the most. The 13 girls she grew so close
to over the years seemed like family to her. "I never
had to go through any of the homesickness and
loneliness that most freshman students have to endure.
I immediately had 13 new best friends... there was
always someone there for me," Talley recalled. "I'll
definitely miss that the most."
Talley planned to continue dancing after graduation
in May, setting her sights on dancing professionally
for a cruise line, t; end

The college experience was enhanced tor
many students by various activities within
the university. The chance to be a part of
an organization, team or fellowship could produce
memories and experiences that lasted a lifetime. For
one senior, the chance to be a part ot that unique
experience is what made her dreams come true.
Beth Burgess, a star player on the women's soccer
team, started her career modestly and through hard
work and determination, rose to the top of her game.
Originally from Richmond, Va. the sports management
major began playing soccer when she was 13. An
athlete by nature, she soon ranked soccer as her number
one passion and continued to play on both club
and high school teams.
During her freshman year of college, she played
on the club team but by sophomore year, she was a
walk-on for the university women's team. Each year,
Burgess' performance got better and her playing time
increased. It was during her stunning performance
at a game against the University of Virginia, where
she scored two goals in the last 20 minutes that led
to the team's first victory against the rival, that Burgess

got her fame. Graduating in May of 2000, she took
graduate courses and continued to play soccer. By
her last year of eligibility. Burgess was named
captain of the team.
Burgess credited much ot her success to the off-
season training. Athletes such as herself trained year-
round to keep themselves conditioned and ready tor
the next season. With such an active athletic lifestyle,
Burgess had to learn to manage her time well between
her game and her academics. She also said that her
open communication with her coaches, the support
of having other athlete triends and lots of academic
advising helped her through the tough times.
The experience she had during her career as both
a student and a soccer player made a tremendous
impact on her life. "It's such an awesome thing to have
been a part of. It's all about making an impact and
m;tking a difference," she said. After moving to Adanta,
Ga. . Burgess was hired by an A-league professional
women's soccer team, the Atlanta Silverhawks. Burgess
enjoyed taking a break from her rigorous training
but said she hoped to keep soccer as a big part of
her life. END

INTEGRATED SCIENCE
^TECHNOLOGIES
There were many milestones in the history of the
university. It had grown tremendously in its 93 years
of existence. What started as a state normal and industrial
school became a top-ranked university that drew students from
across the world. Past accomplishments included graduating the
first class of students in 1911, becoming co-educational in 1949,
and being renamed a university in 1977. However, in the past
decade, a new milestone was reached at JMU, the opening ot its
fifth college, the College of Integrated Science and Technology.
The State Commission on Higher Education in Virginia
made an excellent decision in January 1993 when they approved
JMU's request to initiate a new undergraduate Bachelor of Science
program called Integrated Science and Technology. August 1993
marked the beginning of the new college that became a very
strong and integral part of the university.
The first class of 62 Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT)
undergraduate majors began study in 1993 and with an amazing
rate of growth, there were over 2,700 majors in seven different
areas of study including communication sciences and disorders,
computer science, geographic science, health sciences, integrated
science and technology, nursing and social work. On May 3,
1997, the first class of ISAT proudly walked across the stage to
receive their diplomas and on May 5, 2001, the fifth graduating
class had their degrees conferred.
With the addition ot new students came the need for more
facilities. On August 1, 1997, the doors of the Integrated Science
and Technology building opened. The new facility included state-
of-the-art classrooms and technology, several computer labs, as
well as the CISAT Library, which became a very useful tool for
both students and faculty. Other resources included the CISAT
Medialab, offering students the opportunity to work with multimedia
software and hardware that enhanced the learning experience.
For those students looking towards the future, the CISAT
Internship Program was an invaluable resource. The program
offered students information on various internships available
and also helped the student in developing resumes and preparing
lor interviews. Since opening in the Spring of 1996, the Internship
Program had matched up interested juniors with positions in
excellent companies.
The year 2000 marked the opening of JMU's newest academic
facility, the Health and Human Services building. Attached to
the Integrated Science and Technology building, the two combined
to create the largest academic building in the state of Virginia.
The new building provided classrooms and resources for students
studying Health Sciences, Communication Sciences and Disorders,
Nursing, and Social Work. The auditory research lab and speech
pathology research labs provided excellent places for students
to learn. The building also housed several computer labs and
provided hands-on experience for students.
Students enjoyed their experiences in the College of Integrated
Science and Technology as evidenced by the growth and popularity
of the college. Sophomore ISAT major John Alexander stated,
"Being an ISAT major has challenged me in many ways thus
far and has proved to be a great choice. I believe that I will be
prepared for success in whatever profession I choose." With so
many resources and opportunities to become involved in the
college, students had the chance to have a well-rounded education.
Senior Susan Walker, a Health Science major concentrating
in Athletic Training, was very excited about the possibilities that
awaited her in the future. "JMU's athletic training program has
given me a very strong knowledge base and the hands-on experience
that I needed by working with several different athletic teams.
I have been given the opportunities to work with the football,
swimming, soccer, and presently, the field hockey team. I have
really enjoyed all ot my experiences and feel that I am ready
and prepared to enter graduate school next year," she said.
The university would continue to grow and the college would
likely be at the forefront of its development. For the past few
years, the Chesapeake and Potomac residence halls and a student
center were opened adjacent to the ISAT and Health and Human
Services Buildings. Future plans included the addition of more
academic buildings, as well as the Leeolou Alumni Center.
Construction began on the center in the fall of 2000 and was
scheduled to open during the following academic year.
The attainment of new milestones was the key to success
in any situation. James Madison University proved the importance
of change through the addition of the College of Integrated
Science and Technology. The college offered students both unique
and challenging learning environments and the opportunity
for future success. TH END

mall chips of wood flew into the air as the
electric blade cut with careful precision into
the large structure. Two sets of steady hands
proceeded with the next step of the project, carefully
checking measurements and the status of their handi-
work. Others eagerly looked on nearby, and the small
group of students gave a cheer when the circular piece
fell to the floor.
That was the beginning of an innovative project,
to build a functional hovercraft, led by a group of
10 ISAT majors. The student volunteers began their
task in early November after a preliminary month of
design planning. The hovercraft was built in different
phases, with each student responsible for various parts,
such as the hull, cockpit, steering controls and mounts.
"They all contribute different parts. They work
together since the next step builds on the previous
step," said Dr. Karim Altaii, associate professor of
the energy sector of ISAT. The initial idea to construct
such a machine came from Dr. Altaii after his previous
success or building a hovercraft at another institution
before he came to the university.
FINALLY BEGINNING THE CUT, JUNIORS
Peter Denbigh and NickTurner give
instructions to freshman John Peter.
The students volunteered to help with
building the hovercraft under the
direction of Dr. Altai, an ISAT professor.

The $7,000 project was a chance for the students
to work together and learn valuable educational and
life skills. They had many lessons in engineering,
physics plus teamwork and leadership. "The students
need to be independent and make mistakes, and almost
all the decisions are made by them," said Dr. Altaii.
"That way, it gives them a lot of pride and satisfaction."
The students worked an average of 6-8 hours
per week on the hovercraft. The project itself was
documented step-by-step with video and a digital
camera. They even maintained a webpage to report
the progress on the Internet. The team also hoped to
start a new trend in the way of hands-on projects in
ISAT, by encouraging other members of the school's
community to support similar projects.
When finished, the hovercraft would be fully
functional and able to maneuver over both land and
water. The team hoped to have initial testing of the
vehicle before spring break at the university farm.
"When this is finished, I think everyone is going to
want to get in on it," says freshman project member
NickTurner. END

Random couches and multiple bikes
scattered the porch of a yellow house on
Mason Street. What appeared from the
outside to be a typical college student's house proved
to be much more on the inside.
The residence, known to students as the Tree
House, was given its name when its occupants held
a contest. Previously serving as a fraternitv house, the
Tree House, located at 61 1 Mason St., was the home
to eight senior guys. The housemates included Ryan
Stamm, Ben Porter, Bryce Allison, Jeff Soplop, Todd
Harrell, Drew Beckley, Andy Hall, and Jason Sims.
Most of the housemates met as freshmen however,
they all shared a common bond in their faith in God.
The students participated in campus fellowship
organizations such as InterVarsiry, Young Life and
Campus Crusade for Christ where several of them
served as group leaders.
The housemates knew how to have fun, too.
"We've only had one party so far. At the beginning
of last year we had the first 'Y2Tree' party. We had a
tree on the root and everything," explained Allison.
House rituals also included "movie-on-the-porch"
night and a Tuesday evening dinner in which all of
the guys cooked and sat down to a meal together. "It
gives us a chance to catch up on what's going on in
everyone's lives," said Soplop.
Practical jokes were just as much a ritual as well.
One of the most infamous pranks involved putting
Harrell's mattress on the roof. Soplop recalled, "Todd
didn't think to push his mattress back through the
window. He ended up pushing it off into the yard!"
Around campus, most of the guys could be seen
in their creative blue "SAPS" shirts on Fridays, referring
to the stick)' substance trees produced. The guys felt
the shirts promoted a house bond.
The Tree House guys agreed that it was a great
house and that their pranks and common faith made
it an even better place to live, t-^eend

They came in their evening finest despite
the December chill, eager to warm their
feet and bodies on the dance floor. Skirts
rustled through the hallway as the women paraded
through the doors of the Godwin dance studio, escorted
by young men dressed in their Sunday best (and an
occasional tux or two).
Despite the decor, the participants of the evening
were not gathered for the prom but for "Waltzing in
Winter," the culminating event for the students enrolled
in Ballroom Dance. After a semester's worth of sore
feet and heads reeling with steps, students took to
the dance floor in proper ballroom attire to demonstrate
what they had learned.
"It was fun to have a social setting where we could
use our knowledge, meet new people from other classes
and clubs, and learn new varieties of the basic dances
we learned in class," said senior Kelli Smith.
Open to the general student population as well,
strangers to the class cautiously waited inside to see
what was in store tor them. Surprisingly, the newcomers
weren't easily distinguishable thanks in part to the
instruction provided by ballroom teacher Janet
McCulloch. Speaking into a microphone, McCulloch
introduced each of the evening's dances one by one,
assisting the aid of a ballroom student to demonstrate
the steps. "It was interesting to watch the people in
the class show off their talents and yet they were willing
to help those of us who had no clue as to what steps
their feet should follow," said senior Kerri Bianchet.
Those who were shy and quite unsure of their
feet were soon confidently dancing on the floor.
Wallflowers had no place to hide as gentleman and
ladies sought out those occupying the shadowy corners
of the room, making sure that everyone had a chance
to move their feet on the dance floor.
No matter the experience level, the evening
provided participants with dances to suit everyone's
taste, whether you preferred the down-home two-
step of a barnyard mixer or a sultry Latin dance like
the tango. "I've always wanted to learn to dance so
when I go to weddings or more formal events I don't
feel out of place and at least have a basic knowledge
of the more popular dances," said Smith. END

BENEFITING FROM THEIR EXTRA TIME

and Leah Kirkpatrick learn many lessons
on life. Many super seniors transferred,

majored. Photo by Laura Greco
The idea of college taking a set number of
years to complete was not the reality lor
many students. Despite the reason, whether
they had transferred, were pursuing double majors,
attended the university as part-time students or were
simply prolonging graduation to hold on to the glory
days ol college life, select seniors found themselves in
the unconventional category dubbed the "super seniors."
For transfers, the way to graduation at a new
university could be difficult. Many credits were lost
in the process and the reality was that it could possibly
put them behind. Leigh Todd, an English major and
Secondary Education minor transferred from commu-
nity college in Williamsburg as a junior. Since she
did not receive her associate's degree, she was required
to take general education courses as an upperclassmen
and lost time and credits. In her last semester she was
student teaching at a local high school and writing
for the yearbook.
Greg Lauer, an SCOM major was a three-time
transfer student originally from Maryland who received
his associate's degree as he waited to figure out what
he wanted to major in before coming to the university.
He was also held up because he was a pan-time student
paying his own way through school. "As far as experi-
ences go, I don't think that I've had a bad college
experience," Lauer said. He worked as promotions
assistant for WVPT television station in Harrisonburg
and hoped to have a career in television public relations
when he graduated.
For other students, the conflict was having a
double major. Leah Kirkpatrick, an English and theatre
major and secondary education minor, took 16-19
credits per semester plus summer school to finish her
degree in five years. "I've learned that as many interests
as you have, it's important to explore them," she said.
Kirkpatrick felt it was necessary for students to go
beyond the boundaries of their main goal to really
have a good sense of what college was all about.
Kirkpatrick was an active member of the university
community with her involvement in theatre, InterVarsity
Christian Fellowship, Golden Key honor society and
Alpha Psi Omega. She was student teaching her last
semester at a local high school and after graduation,
the Pennsylvania native hoped to move back to her
home state with her husband and teach high school
English and theatre.
There were also students like John Soules who
loved college so much that they looked for ways to
extend their student careers. Soules, an English major
and secondary education minor originally from
Massachusetts, credited his involvement on the rugby
team as one of the main reasons for sticking around.
He started his freshman year and said that it had
been his life ever since.
The reasons were plentiful, with many different
students in many different situations. However, the
super seniors all had unique experiences that benefited
them in their extra time in college and taught them
many lessons for life. I end

Laughter was an effective stress-buster,
especially at the end of the semester when
students were agonizing over finals. To relieve
the tension, students and non-students filled Wilson
Hall on November 29 to welcome the comedian
and impersonator extraordinaire, Darrell Hammond
of NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL) sponsored by
the University Program Board.
Hammond was born and raised in Melbourne,
Fla. and began doing impressions as a child. After
graduating from the University of Florida at Gainesville,
he began his career as a comedian. Numerous stand-
up shows and performances later, Hammond became
a member of SNL after going through seven auditions.
New and Improv'd, JMU's premiere improvisa-
tion group, opened for Hammond, warming up the
crowd with their unique brand of comedy. New and
Improv'd relied heavily on audience participation,
playing a series of games similar to the hit ABC show.
Who's I ine is it Anyway? .
In "Who Invited You?" Improv'd members asked
the audience to shout out suggestions for a party scene
that they were going to do. Four members portrayed
pari}' guests with different personalities while a fifth
member acted as the host. The personality suggestions
included a dog in heat, a girl scout, a hatching chicken,
and President of the United States. The host of the
party, who could not hear the suggestions, had to
guess who or what each of the members were.
Performing about six games total, each relying
on suggestions from the audience, New and Improv'd
had students rolling in the aisles with their onstage
antics. Following their spontaneous performance, the
audience was ready for the main event.
As Hammond walked onto the stage, he was
greeted by a thunderous applause. He gracefully accepted
his warm welcome, and just as he was about to start,
he was greeted with more praise from the audience.
When the applause finally died down, Hammond
began an interesting discussion about his college days
at the University of Florida. "I graduated with a 2.1,"
said Hammond, emphasizing the "point one" on
the end. His revelation was met with much approval
from several members of the audience who seemed
to relate.
He posed this question to the auditorium of
students: "If you drink a quart of gin every day for
four years, will it affect your grades?" Nodding
Hammond answered, "Yes it will, but not in a good
way." (continued on p. 261)

(continued from p. 258) Throughout his performance,
Hammond asked the audience what they wanted
him to talk about. He went on to amuse the audience
with some of his famous SNL impersonations such
as Bill Clinton and Ted Koeppel. His deadpan impres-
sion of Sean Connery had the audience begging for
more of his convincing Scottish brogue. Hammond
also took the time to find comical bits from the current
world news such as the presidential elections. "Gore
claps like a toy monkey, and he talks like other people
type,'' he said as he proceeded with the flawless Gore
impersonation he had perfected on SNL.
No celebrity was safe from Hammond's humor,
especially those he revered such as the Reverend Jesse
Jackson. "I think the most powerful speaker in the
world is Jesse Jackson," Hammond remarked. "But
does he ever have a casual conversation? He is so
intense," he said as he made tun of Jackson's halting
speech pattern and the unusual emphasis he placed
on certain words.
Hammond gave a well-rounded performance
while covering a range of topics, from Bob Dole to
the tequila in Mexico. Most of his comedy was based
on funny observations that he had made, pointing
out things that people don't always think about. A
popular topic during his performance was alcohol
and its effects. "Mexico is for advanced party-goers
only. They have mascow, which is tequila to the 15th
power.. .it has an agenda," he added.
Hammond received audience approval for every
joke and impersonation he performed. When asked
what was the best part of the show, freshman Madeline
Rudman replied, "The imitations, because he got
the audience involved."
Junior Russ Hammond enjoyed the show as well
and commended UPB for bringing such high-profile
talent to campus. "It was about as fun as a barrel of
monkeys," he remarked, ti-ieend

SCIENCE &MATH
The College of Science and Mathematics at
fames Madison University was praised for
its excellence in education and research. The
university had one of the best undergraduate science
and mathematics programs in Virginia, based on a
large number of recruits, both regionally and nationally.
The College was supported by the National Science
Foundation and received superior reviews from other
professional organizations.
The academic departments within the college
included biology, chemistry, geology and environmental
science, mathematics and statistics and physics. Within
these departments there were a variety of academic
programs ranging from forestry to medicine to computa-
tional science. These individual programs exceeded
40 in number, yet provided unlimited opportunities
for students with varying interests. What the college
essentially provided was a background in general
education math and science as well as pre-profes-
sional training and advanced technology training.
To encourage learning and give qualified students
an opportunity for a less expensive education, many
scholarships were offered through the college. Among
these were the George W. Chappelear Scholarship,
the Chemistry Presidential Scholarship, the Catherine
King-Frazier Scholarship and the Serway-Saunders
Scholarship.
The College of Science and Mathematics was
well-equipped with knowledgeable faculty and superior
facilities, offering an excellent learning environment
for students. Lab courses were always taught by
experienced faculty, rather than teaching assistants,
as was common practice at other institutions. Labs
were generally limited to 20 people so that students
could receive one-on-one instruction.
Students had access to a variety of computing
facilities and Lab and Research equipment including
scanning probe microscopes, DNA sequencers, and
coupled plasma mass spectrometers. The Mineral
Museum, Shenandoah Valley Regional NMR Facility,
and Wells Planetarium were also available to students
within the college. A special bonus for science and
math students was the colleges all-inclusive web site
which gave students access to research opportunities
and information.
Each department within the college encouraged
students to become involved with student-level
professional organizations because participation
proceeded success. Participation, in this instance,
included getting involved with student organizations
or actually conducting extensive studies on specific
topics in research programs. College of Science and
Mathematics Dean Dr. David F. Brakke stated in
his message to the students that "we stress learning
science by doing science."
Though many faculty members had personal
ongoing research projects, students also had the option
to conduct research tor academic credit. Interdisciplinary
research 450 was a course designed for such students.
Each department also offered a research literature
course. The college even sponsored their own College
of Science and Mathematics Undetgraduate Research
Symposium each year.
Every department within the college had at least
one formal student society or club, along with many
more informal options. Such organizations, along
with the numerous internships offered, were just several
ways to get involved.
The college set aside a course, designated
DEPARTMENT 494, which provided students with
internships in any of the major programs. Examples
of such opportunities included summer internships
at the Baltimore Aquarium, Environmental Engineering
and Aid Technicians for the U.S. Corps of Engineers,
and National Park Service Volunteers in the Parks
Program. Experience gained by working in the field
gave students an advantage over others who did not
have real world experience. The College of Science
and Mathematics supported direct involvement and
suggested that it led to successful graduates.
In 1998, 58 percent of graduates were employed
and 30 percent of graduates attended a graduate or
professional school. The diversity of their employers
was extreme, indicating the breadth of occupations
for graduates from the College of Science and
Mathematics, the END

The expression "better late than never" was
one that Dottie Edwards could relate to
firsthand. Twenty-five years after high school,
she was given the opportunity to attend James Madison
University. When her youngest child turned 21, she
decided to seize the chance to fulfill her life-long dream
of attending college come true, even though it meant
moving and quitting her full-time job to do it.
Having worked previously in computer mapping,
she obtained a part-time job in Bridgewater working
with computer drafting and mapping. As a geogra-
phy major, Edwards hoped to find a job in cartog-
raphy and air photo interpretation after graduation.
"I have to pay back loans just like everybody else. I
just don't have the same amount of time to do it
in," remarked Edwards.
In addition to school, work, and family, she tutored
non-English speaking children at Stone Spring Elemen-
tary School, ran her own business making lye soap,
played piano and directed choir for her church, and
was a member of Beta Sigma Phi, an international
women's service organization. When asked how she
was able to juggle all of the activities in her lite,
Edwards simply stated, "There are a lot of hours in
a day, and I just fill them with things I like to do.
I'm very happy."
Although Edwards' family was very supportive
of her efforts to continue her education, she was
slighdy unsure of how she would be received by students
and faculty. She was very cautious in her interactions
with students, trying hard not to seem overbearing
or to crowd social circles. However, Edwards was
pleasantly surprised by the reactions she received.
Some students told her it was nice to have a mother
figure around while others said they thought of her
as just another student.
In May of 2001, Edwards received her Bachelor
of Science in geography with five generations of
her family present: her grandmother, parents, two
daughters, and four grandchildren, all of them excited
to see Edward's long educational journey end and
her new life as a college graduate begin, the END

Fire drills at 2:00 a.m. Popcorn, pizza and a
pink substance stuck to the elevator floor
after a long Friday night. Thirty people sharing
three showers before an 8:00 a.m. class. Hall meetings,
Rice-A-Roni and vacuums with nicknames.
Aft, the simple, familiar pleasures of living on
campus. While most had fond memories of 3:00 a.m.
pizza deliveries and co-ed living arrangements, it was
indisputable that making the move to an off-campus
apartment, town home, or house had several advantages
residence halls couldn't hope to offer.
What was best about living off-campus? Twenty-
two of 25 students polled answered that having a private
room was well worth the move from the noisy campus
residence environments. "The best part is that it's easier
to concentrate and study having your own room versus
the dorms," said junior Kelly Price.
Aside from an increased amount of privacy, students
enjoyed having the ability to cook full-scale meals in
their own kitchens instead of having to walk to a
dining hall where the selections seemed to be a combina-
tion of the previous evening's meal. Many were of the
opinion that they were saving money by eating most
of their meals in their own homes. "Many times I
wasted punches, or never ate my money's worth. Not
only am I saving money, but I'm eating so much
healthier because I can cook with less fats and oils,"
said senior Kerri Bianchet.
Other students preferred the luxury of having a
private bathroom, a set of chosen roommates, and
lots of tree parking. "I love being able to have my
car close by. Parking is never a problem at my
complex and I don't have to walk far when I want to
go somewhere," said senior Brooke Nielson. "It's also
great having more space in general with the family
room and I like having easy access to a washing machine
and dryer."
Of course, disadvantages were part of the off-
campus package too with the distance from campus
factoring in as a major issue. "Transportation can be
a problem," said junior Brad Geesaman. Agreeing,
Kelly Price said, "The worst part is that you're not
right there to go to classes or group meetings or
anything." Fortunately, the Harrisonburg bus system
operated on a timely schedule and allowed students
to avoid searching for a parking space on campus.
"Living in Olde Mill is great because the bus ride to
campus is only about 5 minutes long and it runs
regularly all day," said Nielson.
The responsibility of paying several bills a month
was an added stress but students accepted the new
task as something that was preparing them tor the
real world.
Like any living arrangement, there were some
minor setbacks but off-campus students agreed that
the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. The
newfound responsibilities and freedoms associated
with it were a part of the next step in becoming indepen-
dent young adults. I H J END

I
've always had the attitude - if it's not avail -
able, create it! Settling lor something that does
not encompass my vision ol helping others is not
my style. So, I've always been open to new ideas, even
ones that take extra effort."
And create she did. Erin Dolan, a marketing
education major, dedicated much of her spare time
and organizational skills to starting her own business.
Her creation, DYNAMIX Leadership, facilitated officer-
training seminars, coordinated keynote presentations
and organized interactive sessions for high schools,
student groups and conferences. DYNAMIX was
highly devoted to motivating students by entertain-
ing, informing, stimulating and convincing students
to achieve their personal best.
In addition to the hectic demands of owning a
business, Dolan was a consultant for DECA, an
association of marketing students, for 13 hours a week
and also served as the chapter president and founder
of Delta Epsilon Chi, the university's business and
marketing society. Yet through it all, she managed
to find the time to sleep and satisfy the other demands
of life. "I have to get eight hours of sleep each night,
or I won't function. Just ask my roommates!" said Dolan.
Developing and keeping a business alive required
extensive knowledge and planning. The first essential
step was to determine if there was a market for her
vision. Strategic placement of business locations followed
and was essential to a smooth, efficient operation.
DYNAMIX was no exception. With four business
partners located across the country, DYNAMIX was
able to accommodate needs in multiple places. The
most vital aspect above all was perhaps the willing-
ness to commit an abundance of time and effort to
make it successful and worthwhile.
The experience of owning a business gave Dolan
the opportunity to practice her skills for her marketing
education major and work with other students.
DYNAMIX also gave her the freedom and flexibil-
ity to make her own decisions and reap the rewards
of her results. Dolan and her partners at DYNAMNLX
looked forward to publishing a book, talk show
appearances and the opportunity to facilitate summer
camps for students.
Despite her commitment to her business, Dolan
never let it get in the way of her education. She credited
being able to intertwine classroom knowledge with
her business decisions. "Sometimes in class, when
we are learning about business, marketing or educa-
tion, I think of ways to apply those concepts in my
own business. I'm not just here to get a degree, I'm here
to learn how to further my vision for DYNAMIX."

Students
celebrate
their 2 1 si
birthdays
in various
ways.
A rite of passage most often completed
during a student's junior year of college,
and described by junior Katie Lawson as
'your last fun birthday," was the year a student
turned 21. While the expectation was to celebrate
the occasion by going out with friends and fitting
as many drinks into the night as possible, some opted
for a tamer evening, experiencing the excitement of
the day by handing over their driver's license for an
alcoholic purchase.
On the evening of November 20, Lawson paid
her first visit to the ABC store. "I handed over my
ID and the guy at the counter looked at it, looked
again, and said, 'Oh, is today your birthday? "
"I was excited," Lawson said recounting the story.
"It was kind of fun." Rachel Collier, a junior Finance
major who celebrated her 2 1st birthday on October
21, also made a point of buying beer immediately. "It
felt weird," she said, "because you're used to having
to ask someone else to get you what you want.
Collier decided to indulge in her new privilege.
"I went to Buffalo Wild Wings (BW3) because it's
within walking distance of my house and I didn't want
to have to drive anywhere," she said. "But you know,
it doesn't really matter where you go. especially if
you're a girl. All of my drinks were free, courtesy of
the bartender."
Not exactly enticed by the local bar scene, Lawson
opted for a quiet get-together at her apartment, spending
the following evening at a low-key bar in Staunton
with her boyfriend and another couple. "I didn't get
really drunk, though, just because I didn't want to,"
said Lawson.
The initial novelty of the occasion wore oft within
days for Collier and Lawson, a common post birthday
effect. While exciting, "it was never a huge, huge deal
or anything. It's just fun to know that if your friends
are going out drinking you can go with them," said
Lawson. After a moment of reflection she shrugged
and added, "But even if I had money, it's not as if
Id be out drinking it away every weekend." theend

A humanitarian to the core, Paige Rogers
involved herself in numerous campus and
community activities during her college
career. She served as both a hall director and resident
adviser in Logan Hall, participated in Impact, a Christian
group for African American students, and gave up
all of her school breaks to work in New York City
with the homeless.
Rogers was also involved in Campus Crusade for
Christ and worked at the Little Grill, a local soup
kitchen on Mondays, serving the homeless. To top
it all off, she tutored a first grader on a weekly basis.
Commenting on her full schedule, she said "[I] enjoy
life and I do what I like to do." Because of all her
hard work and involvement in the university, she was
honored at All Together One last year as being an
exceptional student.
Rogers' family had a strong effect on her life. She
was especially influenced by her parents because they
were "down to earth and told me to appreciate life
as it is and enjoy the simple things in life." Having
been raised to value education, she worked hard in
school but remembered to make time for fun. "You're
only in college for four years so live it up and enjoy
it," she said. As an exceptional student, Rogers wanted
to dedicate her life after college to missionary work
in an inner city environment. She loved working with
the homeless in New York and wanted to become
fluent in Spanish so she could communicate more
effectively with the Spanish-speaking residents there.
With a major in religion, Rogers was quite
interested in how other people viewed religion and
how they came to form their opinions about it. As a
Christian, she said, "Religion is definitely the most
important thing in my life. My relationship with
Christ gives my life meaning." She hoped ro spread her
views on religion through her missionary work and
her influence on campus. Rogers knew what she wanted
to do in life and she was not afraid to do whatever
she could to achieve her goals. END

LOCATED AT 635 SOUTH MAIN ST., THE
White House is home to 1 0 students.
The old TKE fraternity house was
turned into a Christian house and
would remain so for years to come.
Photo by Laura Greco
ALL OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF
the White House are a part of either
Campus Crusade for Christ, Young
Life.or Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Each room of the house was named
after actual rooms in the presidential
White House. Photo by Laura Greco
"It's a
place where
anyone
can conic
to hare
fellowship
and a
good
time. "
If you were to take a tour of the White House,
you would walk through the East Room, the
Lincoln Bedroom and even the Ova] Office.
You wouldn't get to see the President of the United
States, however, because this was the home of 10
university students who had taken over 635 South
Main St., known popularly as the White House.
Named for its color and not its resemblance to
the Washington, D.C. home, the former Tau
Kappa Epsilon fraternity house was in its first year
of existence. The founding fathers included seniors
Ryan Creeden, Anthony Gammage, Brandon
Wright, John Kilmartin, and juniors Jake Edwards,
Mike Ryan, Josh Fultz, Brett Richardson, Chris
Doggett and Russell Griffith.
Every room took on the name of a room in the
Presidential White House. The Lincoln Bedroom
was Gammage's bedroom, the Oval Office became
Griffith's bedroom, the State Dining Room was the
kitchen, and there was even a Grand Staircase that
included black and white pictures of each of the 10
founding fathers that would continue to hang on
the wall for future residents of the house.
An additional room in the house was the East
Room, a sitting room area that included a red
phone similar to the one in the presidential White
House, a very loud basketball scoreboard and a sign
which stated their house motto, "In God We
Trust." All Christians, each resident of the White
House was involved in a Christian organization.
They even established a house Bible verse from
Joshua 24:15 that said, "But as for me and my
household, we will serve the Lord."
The house would remain a Christian residence
in the years to come as seven of the 10 men would
be returning the following year. "The White House
isn't just a place for members of Campus Crusade,
Young Life or Fellowship of Christian Athletes, but
it's a place where anybody can come to have fellowship
and a good time," says Creeden. THFEND

In Grafton Stovall Theater, one student,
sophomore Russ Griffith, spoke to an
auditorium packed with over 400 students who
wanted to know if they agreed with the man they
had seen advertised on T-shirts for weeks and whose
identity was a guarded secret. Griffith spoke to the
students about what he considered the most important
decision any person will make in their life: whether
or not to accept Jesus Christ as the son of God.
Griffith was a member of Campus Crusade for
Christ (CCC), the organization that sponsored the
event. Griffith was asked by CCC to speak and said
he agreed to do it, "because I've dedicated my life
to Christ and I want to live my life for God. I want
everyone to know about him, the truth, and how to
know him personally."
As a young boy raised in a Christian family, Griffith
attended Sunday school regularly and grew up with
a strong sense of faith. He believed that because God
loves His people so much, he sent his only son, Jesus
Christ, to Earth to die for mankind on the cross.
In the days preceding the event, students were
seen walking around campus in bright orange shirts
with words in white lettering that read, "I agree with
Russ," printed on them. These shirts brought much
attention to the event. Since the program was kept
secret, many turned out because of a natural curiosity.
The affair drew a large crowd that packed the auditorium
to hear Griffith speak about how he came to accept
God's grace, why others should, and to answer students'
questions about why he believed it was such an
important choice in life.
Griffith emphasized the importance of the decision
saying it meant more than choosing what college to
attend or who to marry. Audience member, freshman
Karlayne Varney said, "I got involved because I
have a heart for this campus. As soon as I heard of
this, I knew that it would get noticed by the
majority of students and I want more than any-
thing, even my diploma, for every student to hear
the truth about Jesus Christ."
Griffith made his voice heard, and many students
did agree with Russ, as he received a standing ovation
at the end of his program. END

Eight girls
find a
common bond
W:
hen the eight female residents of the
Son House moved into their new
home in August, they found the place
a complete mess but hoped to revive their new home
with their creative spirits. The women, involved in
I) \ ' following either campus ministry or Young Life, included Kristen
C~y Gillan and Jen Wange who were both involved in
!fW ^J\Jll. Campus Crusade for Christ; Missy Montgomery,
Emily Claypool, Jane Sowada, and Jen Bryant who
were Young Life leaders in area high schools; Regina
Narcisi, a Young Life leader in area middle schools
and Sarah Harper, a youth group leader at a local
Presbyterian church.
With the exception of Wayne, the women
began their friendship as freshmen, discovering they
shared passionate religious beliefs. Their home, the
Son House, had been around for years, originally
formed by a troupe of guys who had passed it down
to religious groups ever since. The name came from
Jesus Christ, hence the spelling of Son. The women
were very close and they related to each other well.
Every Sunday, they met a 9:30 p.m. to discuss house
issues, prayer concerns, and encouragement. "We
are bonded by Christ," said Claypool.
When their shed burnt down in August as a
result of a grill fire, they had to call the Harrisonburg
Fire Department to put the fire out. Although it was
a scary event, they laughed it off, deciding to dress
up as firemen for Halloween. "We never miss out on
anything at college," said Narcisi.
The entire house was an incredible decorating
project. Each room was painted a different color and
given a special name like the "chill room," where Narcisi
and Wange resided. More than just a house, the women
agreed that their residence was truly a home. "The best
thing about living here is that we really live here," Narcisi
said. Jane Sowada agreed. "Living here is like a slumber
party every night." The girls also kept a house journal
in which they wrote thoughts, prayer requests, and
funny stories strictly for the eyes of their roommates.
The book also served as a good form of communi-
cation since each girl had a very different schedule.
Living in the Son House was an experience for
all eight of the girls. They were an extremely close
group of interesting people who were able to practice
their religion, work, and go to school while living
in a comfortable environment. Their bond to God
made their bond to each other stronger. THEEND

SIGGRAPH assists members
in pursuing careers in a
new field.
Anew organization was formed due to the
large interest in the increasingly popular
field of computer graphics, portraying to
students the importance of being on top of cutting-edge
technology and staying ahead of the competition.
The Special Interest Group for Graphics
(SIGGRAPH), a nationally recognized organization,
was established on campus by Brycen Davis, a junior
SMAD major, and president of the club. The organiza-
tion encompassed not only computer graphics but
also other related fields such as animation and special
effects, extending the interest to many other areas
of technology.
For Davis, whose interests included web design,
video graphics and virtual reality video games, the
club was a way to get an inside edge and have the
support of other students. "The most important things
to me are resume building experience and a better
understanding and learning more about graphics
programs and the graphics working environment,"
he said.
Likewise, one of the most important aspects tor
the organization was to keep students on top of new
technology and new opportunities within their career
fields. Club members regularly demonstrated graphics

Shop and explored new programs as they were
introduced to the public. The group also kept up on
the job market and formed committees to keep a heads-
up on career opportunities as well as web site and
publication technology.
Arrangements were made to have special guest
speakers, such as Fairfield Technologies, to speak at
their meetings. Fundraiser ideas were underway to
attend a national SIGGRAPH convention in Washing-
ton, D.C. where the ideal opportunities waited.
"Sending as many people to the convention is the
ultimate goal so that people can make connections in
the their field and learn more about upcoming
developments," said Davis. Attending an official
SIGGRAPH chapter meeting was on the list for the
attending students as well as resume and portfolio
workshops that would give them pointers about
entering their careers as captivating new talent.
SIGGRAPH was a new organization designed
to help students be more successful in both their
college and professional careers. The club's potential
was great and promised to educate members on all
aspects of computer design technology. END

Anew club was formed during the year that
promised to become one of the most
successful community service organizations
at the university. The Optimist Club was chartered and
existed as one of the largest and most active commu-
nity service organizations across the globe.
The 75-year-old Optimist International had over
4,200 chapters, with the university chapter as its latest
charter. Approximately 160 members strong, the
university chapter became the largest Optimist Club
in the United States and the second largest in the world.
In order to become affiliated with Optimist Interna-
tional, the club had to maintain a minimum of 35
members. Affiliation with the national organization
brought benefits such as a subscription to The Optimist
magazine, support of international programs of service
and chapter publicity.
Senior Matt Hahne started the club after helping
his mother, the president of an Optimist club in Norfolk,
with her chapter. When Hahne returned to school
he decided, "It was just something I needed to do. I
needed to leave my mark, and it's also a great cause."
Hahne, the president ot the university chapter, dedicated
the chapter's community service goals to children.
Getting the club off the ground was not an
easy task. After a great initial turnout in interested
members, the club hit a dry spell in activities. The
members and executive board had plenty or ideas
but struggled to find a starting point. One of the first
projects the group took on was caring tor children
while their mothers took part in a women's seminar
at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in downtown
Harrisonburg. Members volunteered their Saturdays
to play games with the children, watch movies, and
take them on excursions like pumpkin picking for
Halloween. The club also organized a canned tood
drive tor the holidays and sold candy grams tor exam
week. But more than anything, the club worked the

hardest in dedicating its time to children. The executive
board was hill of optimistic and enthusiastic students
who were willing to dedicate their time to forming
a powerful, community support organization.
Sophomore Dave Urso, vice president of internal
affairs said, "I wanted to join this club because of
everything that it stands for. It stands for an optimistic
outlook on life. It stands for searching out the positive
in everything, even if it is difficult to find. It stands
for college students saying that we are not too cool
to work with underprivileged children and we want
to help give back to the community we live in."
Hahne worked hard to get his club off the ground
and looked forward to seeing it find further success
in the future. "I want it to grow and become a powerful
community service club. I want people to want to
be a part of it, and all the power and prestige that
comes along with being a part of this club." thsend

very stressful,
hair- pulling
predicament. "

STUDENTS DECLARING A MAJOR HAVE
to fill out paper work with the school
of their choice. Students could choose
from five different schools on campus.
Phofo by Laura Greco
From the time they were old enough to
finger-paint, their peers and family had
asked them, "What do you want to be when
you grow up?" Now that these finger-painters were
college students and well on their way to adulthood,
"So what's your major?" replaced this infamous
childhood question. No matter who they encountered,
peers, family and sometimes complete strangers persisted
with questions like "What are you studying?" and
"What do you want to do after college?"
Choosing a major was one of the most significant
milestones in a student's college career. Those who
were still undeclared by their sophomore year faced
considerable pressure to determine their course of
study so that they could start their programs and still
be able to graduate in four years. Struggling with a
decision that could affect them for the rest of their
lives was a nerve-racking and sometimes terrifying
experience. Majors determined what type of degree a
student would graduate with and gave them the skills
they would need for their future career.
"Deciding on a major has been a very stressful,
hair-pulling predicament for me because I am very
indecisive," said undeclared sophomore Charlotte
Haney. "I came in as a religion major but I've changed
my mind so many times since then. Now I'm thinking
of studying sociology."
With a large selection of challenging majors,
students were often at a loss about what to choose
from and where to begin. Unfortunately, a degree
in underwater basket weaving was not offered and
students had to begin with their interests. "I partici-
pated in an interest and abilities workshop at the
Career Center in Wilson to narrow down the fields
and jobs that would be of interest to me," said
senior Amanda Harrah. "The workshop was helpful
because it told me what I could do with my talents
and where that stuff is used in the work force."
Freshmen and sophomores who were undeclared
also had the option of taking BIS 200, a course in
career and lite planning. The two-hour class that
met once a week for eight weeks, gave students a
series of questionnaires and surveys to determine
their strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the
block, they were required to submit a project with
any conclusions they had made about their career.
"While I didn't take the class very seriously at first,
it really does help you recognize the kinds of careers
that you're suited for, said sophomore Byron Davis.
Declaring a major was not an agonizing decision
for everyone. Jennifer Kinch, a sophomore speech
communication major said, "I've known what I wanted
do since high school so it really wasn't a big deal for
me. Besides, you have plenty of time to decide if you
change your mind about your major."
After a year at the university, students were farther
along, having experienced a taste of different depart-
ments through the general education and required
classes. With aids like the Career Center to help them
narrow down their choices, the process was a little less
stressful. Despite the headaches, deciding on a major
brought most students one step closer to growing
up. THEEND

Exploring her creative abilities was some
thing P.J. Maske had been dedicated to
since early childhood. At the age of two she
began dancing and later moved to acting in middle
school and high school. "I have always wanted to
perform," she said.
As a college sophomore, Maske jumped into the
campus theater program, involving herself in produc-
tions at Theater II, the experimental theater. With
some experience under her belt, she hoped to build
her skills to the level where she could direct her own
production during her junior year.
Theater II was one of the only theater buildings
strictly dedicated to student productions and gave
students a chance to express themselves artistically.
Each production had to be approved by the Stratford
Players and the theater department faculty before they
could stage a performance. With productions ranging
in theme, mood and quality, Theater II gave students
like Maske the ability to take chances and try new
things. The program attracted theater majors from
all over and was the main reason Maske chose to

attend the university. She felt the theater department
offered her a "well-rounded theatrical education."
Maske enjoyed working with Theater II because she
received "hands-on experience with different acting
styles and different directors."
Pleased with the experience she had gained thus
far, Maske was supportive of Theater II. One thing
the actors and spectators often forgot was that the
plays performed there were experimental and not
intended to be perfect. She felt that Theater II gave
everyone involved a "chance to do a bad job and
learn from his or her experience. Not every show is
going to be perfect."
Ready to face college and embrace the theatrical
arts with on open mind and heart, Maske hoped to
incorporate religion and philosophy into her art. With
an interest in pursuing an acting or costume designing
career, Maske felt that working with Theater II would
continue to open her mind to new challenges and push
her to strive harder in her field. She said, "I want to
make art through my craft." the END

DR. EATON DEMONSTRATES HIS LOVE
for geology both in teaching and his
involvement with the United States
Geological Survey (USGS).The trip to
Venezuela and his involvement with
a local boy scout troop allowed him
to give something back to his
community. Photo by Kirsten Nordt
As a professor at JMU with his "roots' in
Charlottesville, Dr. Louis Eaton took what
he loved to do and put it to use where it was
needed: storm-ravaged Venezuela. After the previous
years devastating landslide, Eaton flew down to South
America for two weeks in April to assess the geological
event and to try and prevent it from happening again.
While he was there, Eaton worked in conjunction
with Venezuelan scientists and conversed in Spanish
with the "top brass" of ministries of the environment.
He made a return trip in Julv for further assessment.
The part-time position came by way of the United
States Geological Survey (USGS) to fill an open spot
and provide extra help in mapping out the land. Eaton
witnessed so many people living such poor lives but
was overcome by the incredible joy they displayed despite
everything. "They always seemed to be happy as if it
were Christmas. ..diving into the water as it it were
ice cream," said Eaton.
When he wasn't mapping out the land in Venezuela.
Dr. Eaton was busy teaching GSCI 102, chemistry
physics in human experience, hydrology (how water
moves through the ground), and geomorphology (the
study of surface processes). His initial interest in geology
started in middle and high school when he was a boy
scout. Every month he would go hiking with the troop
and on their trips, he found himself looking at the
mountains and wondering how thev got there.
Eaton attended JMU, taking geology courses
with Dr. Sherwood and discovered that it was exactly
what he was looking for in a career. After graduating
from the university in 1988, he worked as a geologist.
He continued his education at Southern Illinois
University for graduate school and in 1991 returned
to take an instructor position at the university.
After three years here, he went back to school
again, earning his Ph.D. at the Universtiy of Virginia
in the environmental sciences department while still
teaching part-time at JMU. Even though he spent
the majority ot his time in Harrisonburg, he claimed,
"my roots are in Charlottesville" where his family,
his church and his scout troop, (where he served as
Troop Master), were.
Feaching was his true love, but his favorite part
of the job was being able to do a number ot different
activities. In addition to his duties as a professor, he
worked with the local community and gave civil talks
on water and soil. He also worked with farmers around
Harrisonburg to find water wells. The most rewarding
part ot his job, he said, was hearing about the success
stories of his former students. Their stories were,
"...something money can't buy," he said, th eend

DIFFERENT
RUM
Being a musician and a student was hard
work for Andrew Werner, a sophomore
double major in physics and math, but that
didn't stop him from pursuing one of his passions.
While his musical interests were primarily a hobby,
he devoted a large amount of time to his band, Okay
Samurai, comprised of three other members, including
his brother who attended the University of Virginia.
"It's difficult to get everyone together. It was the same
as an extracurricular activity, but not every extracurricular
activity does a rock version of Enya's 'Sail Away,'" he
said. "Every college student had so many different things
going on at once so you had to balance your time."
Originally called Second Nature, the band released
a CD under that name and submitted it to a website
called IUMA tor independent musicians. After receiving
a threatening e-mail from someone who claimed they
had stolen their band name, the guys racked their
brains tor something new. "One of the guys just came
up with the name Okay Samurai. It doesn't have
any special meaning except that we all like old school
kung fu movies," said Werner.
Along with juniors Eugene Jung, Don Simpson,
and Andrew's brother David, the band had been formed
while the four were in high school together. Since
parting ways for college, they still found time to
perform together and record new music whenever
they got the chance. As of early December 2000,
they had not had a chance to perform at the university.
Citing the problems tor performing in Harrisonburg,
ENJOYING A QUICK BREATHER

Werner waits for his band.Okay Samurai,
to decide what song they are going
to do next. The band described their
music as a mix between Better than
Ezra and Weezer with a punk cover
of "Bye, Bye, Bye" by 'NSync thrown
in. Photo by Allison Miracco
Andrew said that the only thing they could do would
be to "open for a better known band at Main Street
and have no one come to see us. We don't want to
do that."
UVA was their main stomping ground, exploding
onto Charlottesville's music scene in the same place
where the Dave Matthews Band got theif start. Each
member brought his own unique musical influences
and tastes into the band. For Andrew, punk was his
current music of choice. "I like the whole punk scene,"
he said. "I started off on MXPX, a punk band from
Bremerton, Wash, and I never looked back." Mixed
in with their original pop/ rock music. Okay Samurai
was known to do cover versions of 'NSync's "Bye,
Bye, Bye" and Paula Abdul's "Straight Up."
Andrew said that the best thing about being in
the band was their jam time. "When we're all together
in the basement," he said, "we just jam and it is great."
Although he had no plans to pursue a career in music,
he admitted, "If it fell in my lap, I would take it."
The band had said from day one that they would stick
together unless it stopped being tun. "I'm having a
great time jamming and going crazy onstage with
these slackers," he said laughingly. "We did this gig
at UVA where they decked out the house with palm
tree fronds, tiki torches, and goldfish swimming in
a kid's pool. It was a Survivor theme party. Just to
be at that party was cool, but to be playing onstage
... that was a cool teeling and a half. It doesn't get
much better than that." theend

figure.
The position of resident adviser came with
many responsibilities and challenges,
especially for those students who had just
entered their second year at the university. Deciding to
spend their sophomore year as an RA was not a decision
they entered upon lightly but proved to be a fun and
rewarding year, giving them the chance to become
part of the on-campus living experience.
Sophomores who chose to become RAs not only
hoped to help other students, but also relished the
chance to become a friend, mentor, and role model.
Meghan Fee, a freshman RA in Chesapeake Hall,
enjoyed the dual role she was able to play as an adviser
and a friend. Although she was aware of the difficulty
in distinguishing the two, she was able to become close
to many of her residents. Her favorite memory as a
RA was her birthday when her residents decorated the
sidewalk outside of the building and filled her room
with over 600 balloons.
Ryan Kidd, a Bell Hall RA, loved the opportunity
to have a positive influence on his residents that
consisted of coed upperclassmen. When asked if Kidd
felt intimidated when his position required him to
discipline students his own age, he replied, "I have
no problem enforcing the policies. The rules are in
place for the residents' own protection, and if these
rules are broken, they will only end up hurting
themselves. I'm here to keep that from happening."
Though most sophomore RAs enjoyed their year
as mentors, the prospect of moving off-campus the
following year was appealing. Being relieved of all the
duties that accompanied the RA position such as creating
monthly bulletin boards, organizing projects and
attending several meetings a week left schedules open
to other activities. Meghan Baillargeon said that despite
the satisfying experience of being a RA in Gifford
Hall, she was ready to make the move off campus the
following year. And with so many sophomores taking
the off-campus plunge in the fall, it was left up to the
current freshmen to fill their shoes. THEEND

MAGIC
man
Displaying one of his old tricks, Brian
Kloske showed his audience a red foam
ball in his hand. As if by magic, he
turned one ball into two, two into three and three into
four as the crowd looked on in amazement and disbelief
With a sly glance, showing he had no more balls in
his hand, he asked a volunteer to get him another one.
Reaching behind the participants neck, a ball suddenly
appeared. Amazed, the volunteer excitedly asked like
a child, "Do it again!"
Kloske, a sophomore speech communication major
and theater minor, made magic happen on a regular
basis. A professional magician since he was "bit by
the bug" in middle school, Kloske had since made a
career out of a love for the business.
"Magic is how I learned to communicate. I was
terribly shy," he said. Living in Centerville, Va.,
Kloske worked twice a month during the regular
school year in the Northern Virginia/Washington,
D.C. area, but during school breaks, he truly turned
up the magic.
Brian proved dexterous with an assortment of
magic novelties including cards, money, water, rope
and contact juggling and even dabbled in pyrotech-
nics. He worked for adults at different venues in the
Washington, D.C. area and performed at weddings
and private parties whenever he could.
Kloske took inspiration from world-renowned
magicians like David Copperfield and perfected much

with his polished magic tricks. One
of his signature tricks was removing
a watch from someone's wrist to the
participant's surprise. Photo courtesy
of Brian Kloske
or his technique by reading books on the subject. His
school teachers also inspired him as well. "Magicians
need to be taught, it's too much to learn on your own.
They need lots of spare time to practice and learn a
lot about the theory of presentation," he said.
It wasn't until college that Kloske made the
decision to become a professional magician. Using
the communication, theater and marketing skills he
would gain from a college degree would only help
him in his future career.
During his professional career, Kloske admitted
to having some flops but his successes soared over the
mistakes that he made. His numerous awards and
features on television and in magazines had proven that.
When he wasn't studying or learning new tricks
or playing practical jokes on his friends, Kloske was
also very committed to the community. Having helped
his mother with community projects since he was young,
he joined the coed community service fraternity, Alpha
Phi Omega, so that he could continue giving back
to others.
Kloske hoped to settle in the Washington, D.C.
area after graduation so he could be accessible to many
areas such as Maryland, New York and Philadelphia.
"It's what I love to do. There is an incredible feeling
when you see good magic, it makes you feel like a kid
again. I hope I can give that back to my audiences,"
he said, theend

Circling the lot, pulling into a space and
then hiking to a residence hall became a
ritual on-campus residents dealt with
daily. "I like having my car on campus because I don't
have to worry about finding a ride home and I have
the freedom to go anywhere I want and I don't have
to take the buses," said sophomore Erin Colangelo.
The love-hate relationship with the parking
situation was a hotly debated topic, especially with
the construction of the new parking garage at a virtual
standstill because of foundation problems. While a
car symbolized freedom, it was also an added hassle.
"Sophomores have the unique experience of finally
getting to pay $140 to search for a parking spot in one
ol three vandal-ridden resident lots, and then risking
tickets from among the 2,000 given each week,'' said
sophomore David Clementson.
The demand for parking was high while the spaces
available to on-campus students did not meet their
needs. "The biggest problem with parking on campus
is the lack ol spaces in comparison with the number
of cars needing spaces," said Amber Krause.
Often, resident lots were not located near residence
halls, however sophomores did not lose sight of the
irony ol having to park far away from their dorm.
Residents and commuters alike
"There is a large parking lot right behind my dorm,
and I have to park my car in a lot all the way across
campus," said Krause.
Compounded parking problems caused students
to disregard the rules and park where they weren't
permitted. Rogue parkers were met with equally
intense parking attendants. "I also reel that some of
the parking stall are a little bit too ticket-happy and
that the fines seem a little steep," said Krause.
Students were not intentionally trying to break
the rules most of the time. Instead, they were legiti-
mately confused because there were so many parking
rules to deal with. "My biggest pet peeve about parking
is that there are so many different stipulations for
each lot and it's so hard to keep track of where you
can park and when," said sophomore Laura McRoberts.
Off-campus sophomores did not fair any
better. While they might have had adequate parking
at their apartment complexes or houses, their attempts
to find parking on campus became a frustrating task.
"Although I spent Si 40 on a commuter parking pass,
I have yet to find a parking space on campus this year,"
said Krista Keyes. "I have resorted to parking at the
convocation center every time I have to drive to campus.
The pass was a total waste of money." the end

OTHER side
Far off yonder, crossing over the din of cars
whizzing underneath the Carrier Drive
bridge, past the CISAT building, affectionately
called 'Egypt', were the newest campus residence halls,
Chesapeake and Potomac. Although their tenants
consisted of both upper and underclassmen, the majority
of the students housed within the new structures were
first year students, considered by some the luckiest
and unluckiest students on campus.
With just one look at the buildings from the
outside, they appeared more like barracks than comfy
residences. While obviously very new, students shared
the opinion that the architecture was somewhat un-
imaginative. That preconceived notion was eased,
however, after entering the lobby doors to find carpeted
halls, new furniture and a fresh smell.
Each hall had 10 double occupancy rooms per
floor with enough space to comfortably fit two beds,
dressers, desks and student paraphernalia. The west
campus dwellings paled in comparison to the high
ceilings, smooth white walls, air conditioning and
relatively large bathroom facilities of Chesapeake
and Potomac.
Anthony Riccio, a Potomac Hall resident, found
only good things with his living arrangement on the
edge of campus. "There are so many people in such
a small space, you can always find someone to eat,
workout, or walk to class with," he said. In addition
to its interior benefits, dining was also a convenience
with the newest campus eatery, the Festival, only
five seconds away.
ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF LIVING
in Chesapeake or Potomac is the close
proximity to the Festival dining hall.
Well known and loved by the students
who lived near ISAT, the dining hall
boasted some of the best cuisine.

The majority of students in the two-winged
structures shared a common complaint about their
hall: its distance from the main campus. Frequently,
east campus residents would simply skip class rather
than brave a long walk in bad weather conditions, a
fact that caused many students' grades to suffer.
Potomac resident Melinda Tucker said, "I have to
allow myself almost 20 minutes extra time before my
8 a.m. classes to either catch the bus or haul to class
if I miss it."
It was agreed that changes were needed to
accomodate east campus residents. Kristen Graham
of Chesapeake presented the idea that the univer-
sity should install more blue lights along the bridge
and paths to the ISAT buildings for safety purposes.
It was also suggested that the university should give
the students of Chesapeake and Potomac preference
in the housing lottery system so they would have a
chance to live closer to west campus facilities.
Most of the advantages of living in the posh east
campus residences outweighed the disadvantages. For
example, the long walk over to the central part of
campus was helpful in keeping off the dreaded "freshman
15." Chesapeake resident Lauren Pomeroy also liked
the close proximity to UREC, making it convenient
for her to work out.
Despite the drawbacks, one thing all students
living in Chesapeake and Potomac agreed on was that
their spectacular view of the sun setting beneath the
nearby mountains was unbeatable, theend

FOR THE

FINDING A RIDE HOME ATTHE LAST
minute to Virginia Beach, freshman
Lee Brittan reads through all the purple

warned students to ride at their own
risk. Photo by Laura Greco

"You

really
o
know what
o
OO
you'd be
getting
yourself
into. "
A girl stared hesitantly at the card that read
'Riders Wanted.' She looked back at the
board and then to her friend who told her,
"Go ahead, fill it out. You'll never know until you
try." The girl began to fill out the card.
"Ride at your own risk'' were the words posted on
the Share-A-Ride board in Warren Hall located by the
university post office. The board contained two maps,
one or Virginia and the other of the East Coast split into
two regions. Eight zones divided the maps further and
extended as far as Indiana and the length of the entire
East Coast. Students who needed a ride filled out the
corresponding purple cards and students who wanted
riders filled out yellow cards.
Despite its warning, those in need of transportation
still used the board set up to supply rides and riders
for students traveling to various destinations in the
continental United States. The system was particularly
helpful to freshmen because they were not permitted
to have cars during their first year. Those from other
states also used it frequently because it was harder
to find someone they knew that was headed in the
same direction. "I usually called the 'riders wanted'
cards that were decorated the most and stood out.
Those were usually the people who were desperate
for people to go with them and liked having company
in the car," said sophomore Terrence Nowlin.
Those freshmen that used the board or had friends
that had used it found the Share-A-Ride system very
helpful. "I've used it twice and got a response each
time. It just so happened that I ended up getting rides
otherwise, but at least I know it works," said freshman
Caleb Hannan.
The board also had its disadvantages. Although
part of the friendly, familiar university, the fact
remained that the students who offered and asked for
rides did not know each other. Students questioned
the level of safety riding with strangers. "While the
board might be a good idea, you never really know
what you'd be getting yourself into riding with a person
you don't know. They could turn out to be crazy!"
said freshman Deveda Watkins.
Senior Amanda Harrah remembered getting a
response to her card from someone during her freshmen
year who wanted to offer her a ride back to Northern
Virginia. "He sounded kind of scary on the phone and
I wasn't sure if he was a student or not. I lied and
told him that I had already found another ride home
just for safety sake. I just didn't have a good feeling
about it," she said.
While it was primarily a safe way to seek transpor-
tation, sometimes riders and drivers found that they
had signed on for more than they had bargained for
riding with a stranger. Byron Dunham had one such
unfortunate experience. "Sure, the ride board may
get you a ride because I did get a ride. However, it was
the ride from hell. The girl talked about a whole lot
of girl stuff, played awful music, and scared me half
to death with her road rage. I will never ride with a
total stranger again!" ihlEND

A big part of the first-year of college was
learning the ins and outs of the university.
Required to live their first year on-
campus, freshmen made the most of their life in a
residence hall, taking full advantage of university
facilities and experiencing the convenience of having
everything they needed tor daily life within a short
walk from their rooms.
Of the 15 residences that housed freshmen during
the year, seven of them were located in the village.
Unique communities in respect to the other hall-
oriented living arrangements on campus, the village
featured suite set-ups that brought six residents together.
Freshman Kara Saunders stated, "I really liked living
in the village because it was just such a nice community
of kids. We all seemed to get along well. We had a lot
of people who shared interests living in the village."
The dorms in the village were centrally located
on campus, according to their freshmen residents.
UREC, the ISAT buildings and the Modular buildings
were just a quick 5-minute walk under or over the
adjacent highway while campus eateries such as D-
hall and Dukes were approximately the same distance
over the railroad tracks. White Hall President Matthew
Benjamin said, "We have the perfect location-not
too far from anything. Basically, we are living in the
center or campus."
David Ward lived in the village and thought the
overall living experience was a good one, with one
exception: the uniform appearance of every residence
hall, making them practically indistinguishable on
the surface. "Everything is the same. There is no change
of scenery," said Ward. Despite its uniformity, he agreed
that the village was a good place to live not only because
of its prime location, but because of its suite set-up
which he believed led to a friendly atmosphere. Benjamin
agreed with Ward, stating, "The suites are good because
of the social aspect, whereas living in a long hall [like
Bell or Hillside] , no one leaves their doors open. Suite
doors are never closed, and that's very inviting."
The best summation of village life was stated by
resident Jennifer Hammel. "The village is by far the
best place on campus to stay. I love the central location,
and it is nice to have the suite area to chill in, along
with the TV lounge. It's great." THEEND

Leaving the comforts of home, freshmen
were faced with several life altering adjust-
ments when they entered their new campus
residences. Among them was a task many had never
attempted before: laundry. With no way around it,
(unless they wanted to go around wearing dirty clothes),
they set out with their quarters and detergent in hand.
Freshman Emily Lively's roommate came to school
with no clue on the ins and outs of laundry. "My
roommate did not know how to do laundry and I had
to teach her when she got here. It was a show."
Even those with laundry experience ran into
problems and accidents did happen. "My friend washed
a load of clothes with a pen in one of his pant
pockets and almost all of his clothes were ruined,"
said Joe Ciarallo.
Deciding to wing it by operating the machinery
without some beginner's instruction caused laundry
blunders that affected more than one persons wardrobe.
"My dorm, McGraw-Long, had a fire because apparendy
someone had put too much stuff in the washer and
the belt caught on fire. So, we all were woken up by
the fire alarm, had to go outside in our pajamas in
the pouring rain and wait for the firemen," said
Lisa Kussmann.
Sharing a washer and dryer with a lot of other
people caused some awkward situations as well. "It
was midnight and I just finished washing a load of
clothes and proceeded to move them to the dryer,"
said Patrice Seko. "Just as I put the last quarter in, a
voice from behind me whispered, 'Hey sweetheart,
I think you dropped something.' I turned around
and looked into the eyes of some cute guy, grinning
ear to ear. To my surprise, he was holding my black
lace thong and swinging it around his fingers! Beat
red, I smiled, laughed and threw them in. We still
laugh every time we see each other."
Seko had another unfortunate and embarassing
experience during her next attempt to do the wash.
"I was in the laundry room and realized I was one
quarter shy of a dollar. Some guy came over and said,
'Here babe!' and then "accidentally" dropped it into
the washer. I bent over the washer and tried to retrieve
it amongst my clothes, when I saw a flash from behind
me. The jerk's friends took a picture of me bending
over the washer in my cut-off jean shorts," she said.
Even without laundry mishaps, there was still one
more thing to complain about: paying to use the washer
and dryer. Students accustomed to the free laundry
service of home hated the idea of having to pay as
well as the restriction of having to use only quarters.
"The whole quarter diing blows and the)' should change
that or make it so it doesn't have to be quarters [by
letting us use] credit cards," said Lauren Giese.
Certain students found ways to avoid the whole
laundry issue all together. "During my freshman year,
I would send my clothes home and my mom would
wash them. It sure beats paying out of my pocket,"
said senior Hina Ansari. theend

U:
gh! It is sooooo cold!" the freshmen
exclaimed, not used to the brutal, winter
wind of the Shennandoah valley. "That's
one good thing about living in Shorts, we're right by
Mrs. Greens and Lakeside Express," said freshman
Claudia Saenz, pointing out to her friend that they
didn't have to bundle up for a long walk if they needed
a meal.
The benefits of living in the Lakeside area included
more than convenient places to eat. In Shorts Hall,
the substance-free freshmen residence, people were
given the chance to live among others who had made
a similar commitment to abstain from drug and alcohol
usage. Shorts residents found the hall uncharacteris-
tically quieter and cleaner than other freshmen residences.
Saenz continued by saying, "If I could live anywhere
on campus, I would still be here at Shorts. Our hall
is just incredible." Freshman Lisa Rines added, "I've
been to other dorms and they're not as friendly as we
are. Our doors are always open. Late at night, I can
hear my suitemates singing at the top of their lungs,
all to different songs, and it's just so amazing here."
Across the courtyard, the eight floors of Eagle
Hall, a smoke-free dorm, housed approximately 450
students. As the biggest living community on campus.
Eagle was known for its raucous times, fire drills and
energy. "Here at Eagle, we always have fun. There
are so many new people to meet. This is where all the
action is. There are always crazy people running
around," said freshman David Holloway.
"Eagle is the best residence hall on campus
because where else can you live and interact with 450
other people? Its one of the best places to be a resident
adviser too because there's such a mix of. people and
there's always something going on," said Eagle RA
Sam Campbell.
Differences in college residences and the familiar
surroundings of home took some getting used to for
the residents of Lakeside when they moved into their
new hall arranged communities. "You can't be as fake
here. Your hallmates see you at three in the morning
in your pajamas brushing your teeth. They see you
when you have the flu and refuse to get out of bed.
You can't be as shallow here," said freshmen Jess Gladis
and Allison Richardson. "Also, we're much more
liberated than when we're at home." While Gladis and
Richardson's words rang true for all freshmen on
Gimpus, they agreed that Lakeside dorms were decidedly
unique. "There was this one night I got on the elevator,
and there were these girls from fifth floor playing
cards. They were just sitting there, playing cards, in
the elevator. It was the most bizarre thing ever!" said
freshman, Shorts Hall Council President Joe Mills.
Residents of Lakeside also had one last thing to
brag about: the view. From one side, the windows
overlooked the football field. From another angle, tfre
always-bustling courtyard was excellent for people
watching. The southwest sides of Shorts and Eagle
revealed Newman Lake, a popular late-night hangout
and a nice place to sit and admire the view during
warmer weather. Rines summarized her Lakeside
experience saying, "This year has just been awesome
especially because I'm living here!" theend

So often it happened that students with
blossoming high school relationships faced
the immense obstacle of separating from their
loved ones when they entered college. Trying to make
the best of the situation, some first year students saw
long-distance relationships as a chance for growth
and an opportunity for independence. Even though
being apart from their significant other was difficult,
it was possible to survive and students looked at it
from a positive perspective. "Being apart from my
boyfriend made the times when I'm with him more
special," said freshman Sarah Baughan.
For Baughan, it was not hard to balance her time
between her schoolwork and her social life. She, like
many others, found time to study during the week
and saw her boyfriend on the weekends. It was
important, as freshmen, to create new friendships so
their transition into college was not so hard. Freshman
Michelle McDaniel said she and her boyfriend were
"glad that we don't go to the same college. It gave us
the ability to make new friends."
Relocating to a new place was difficult without
a boyfriend or girlfriend, but it was possible to make
it through the first semester alone. With a workload
that was much different from high school, students
who came to school "attached" felt their experience
without their boyfriend or girlfriend was helpful
because it forced them to develop better communi-
cation skills. "We talk everyday and it is extremely
important to have good communication skills so that
you know when something is wrong but also not to
be so dependent on him being there that you can't
function on a daily basis," said freshman Georgenna
Long. The distance also proved to help some relation-
ships. McDaniel said that while many people did not
think her long-distance relationship would work out,
it only made her work even harder at it.
Freshman Alison Crawley found that it was more
difficult tor her to make girlfriends initially because
she was already committed to a guy. She said that
having a boyfriend "makes it harder to meet girls
because they form this opinion of you automatically.
This opinion that you won't go out, party, or have fun
because you have this boyfriend."
Overall, students agreed that having a long-
distance relationship was not too hard to deal with.
While there may have been lots of lonely weekdays,
students in these situations found time to make new
friends, catch up on their schoolwork, and experience
campus independently. THEEND

FRESHMAN ALYSON PAQUETTE CALLS
up to her friend to hurry while she
and freshman Carlee Brueser wait to
go to lunch. Paquette said that she
was happy to hear that Logan was
turned from all-female to coed this
year. Photo by Allison Miracco
The sounds of laughter and voices wafted
across the Quad as students contentedly
snuggled under trees to study or catch a
quick snooze before their next class. Shirtless guys
could be seen playing Ultimate Frisbee while other
students sat on the grass and talked to their friends.
Ah, the joys of living in the Bluestone area.
"I love living in Ashby despite the occasional
chicken factory smell because it's on the Quad," said
freshman Mollie Helton. "It's awesome being able to
stretch out on the grass and read a book whenever I
want to."
Helton was one of a handful of freshmen fortunate
enough to live by the Quad. Due to an increased
number of freshmen students, Bluestone residence
halls were opened to the incoming freshmen, a privilege
usually reserved for upperclassmen. Hoffman remained
a traditional freshmen residence while Logan, formally
an all-female upperclassmen hall, became a newly
designated freshmen residence. Gifford also started
housing freshmen in addition to its upperclassmen
residents and Ashby opened its doors to international
students with every class status.
Those who weren't lucky enough to have the
opportunity to live in the Bluestone buildings as
freshmen thought the change was unwise and unfair
citing it was a privilege that should be reserved for
upperclassmen. "I think that only mature freshmen
should be allowed to live in the Bluestone buildings so
they can realize how lucky they are. Immature
freshmen shouldn't live here because they would take
what they have for granted," said sophomore Erin
Brakensiek.
Living on the Quad proved advantageous to
freshmen getting used to the new college scene. "Living
here is great," said freshman Angelica Carino, "We're
located right at the heart of the campus which is a
lot of fun but we're kind of spoiled because everything
is just a five-minute walk away."
Besides the close proximity to academic buildings
and dining facilities, another advantage included
the satisfaction of knowing that the coveted, historical
residences were a bonus usually reserved for upper-
classmen. In comparison, Bluestone rooms were also
more spacious than the typical freshmen residence
room with higher ceilings, only 2-4 people to a
bathroom and nicer lounge areas.
Whether they liked having an increased amount
of living space, being able to walk to classes at the
last minute, having the Quad in their backyard or
walking to a nearby thrift shop in town, freshmen
gratefully agreed that living there was a delightful
and memorable experience, theend

the HILL
Hillside residents cite hall unity as
Resting alongside the marching band's
practice field, adjacent to the Rockingham
Memorial Hospital, sat the Hillside and
McGraw-Long residence halls. Housing students
since 1987 and 1984 respectively, McGraw-Long
and Hillside were the architecturally typical college
residences with corridor-style halls, community baths,
coed floors, and approximately 225 students in
each. Special features such as air-conditioned rooms,
however, made these "typical" buildings among the
most attractive places for freshmen to reside on campus.
Residents of both halls agreed that the advantages
outweighed disadvantages significantly. The locations
of both Hillside and McGraw-Long were exceptional
because of their close proximity to dining establish-
ments like PC Dukes and D-hall, and major student
gathering places like Carrier Library, Taylor Down
Under, the Quad and a majority or the academic
buildings. As if living close to everything wasn't enough,
the students boasted about being close to Warren
Hall bookstore and mail services when many students
from other sides of campus had to walk in the cold or
rain to receive mail or pick up their exam booklets
before an important test.
"Hillside and McGraw-Long's location is
probably the best on campus because it's adjacent to
nearly every important building for freshman," said
Hillside resident Nicole Pennucci.
Hillside and McGraw-Long residents cited unity
as a major advantage to their living situation. The
resident advisers seemed to go out of their way to
program at least two exciting hall activities each week.

a major advantage of living in their residence halls.
The RAs are always really friendly and really try to
;et all the residents involved in activities to meet new
people and try new things," said freshman Kevin Lancor.
A spirit of community was displayed creatively
in the Hillside 3B hallway where the girls painted an
underwater scene along the corridor to create a warmer,
more aesthetically pleasing environment. The girls
valued the time they spent together during hall projects
because it brought them closer to their neighbors and
their RA. The expectation of the Hillside RAs was
to get all the walls painted a different outdoor scene
to make the Hillside halls more attractive. The corridor
set-up for the dorms was especially attractive to
freshmen, giving them the opportunity to peek in and
say 'hi' as they walked down the hall.
Separated into three sections, the buildings
sometimes proved burdensome for those who wanted
to get to know people in other parts of the hall. "In
Hillside, you sometimes have to go out of your way to
meet people that don't make themselves seen," said
freshman Kailey Sheppard.
The stellar location, hall unity and the opportu-
nity to meet lots of people created one of the best
living environments for treshmen. Sheppard noted,
"The dorm's lounge area is one of the best things about
the dorm. We have a ping pong table, free arcade game
and pool tables which really help us when we just
want to unwind and chill out." fheend

As you stood in the long line of students waiting
to have their class pictures taken, you gave yourself a
last look in the mirror and practiced your cheesy
yearbook smile. Gazing around, you noticed the others,
who were also waiting patiendy, picking lint balls off
their sweaters and checking their hair for the fifth time.
While the photographer tried unsuccessfully to
convince a stone-faced student to show his pearly
whites and "smile for the camera," a new presence
breezed into the room and all heads turned. Gasps and
snickers were heard from the line as a young man
dressed in an off-the-wall ensemble strolled in. After
coming to the realization that he had not wandered
into the wrong room by mistake, you couldn't help
uttering the words "What is he thinking?" under
your breath.
No, these weren't students who were colorblind
or simply having bad hair days. So what were they
thinking when they decided to forgo the traditional
picture day primping for an outrageous getup? To most
of these individuals, picture day signaled an opportunity
to express their personality through their wardrobe,
hairstyle or even an enthusiastic facial expression.
Students like Mark Chapman decided to include
props that would say something about who they were
and the lifestyle they led. "I brought Kermit with me
to have my picture taken because I knew that he (being
very photogenic) would be a great addition to my
photo. So much of college is about friendship, the fun
we have together and living life, and I truly think that
Kermit's person manifests the qualities of the easygoing
college guy," he said. "He's adventurous and playful,
yet at the same time has a very real side to him. He's
not a super genius but he knows what he likes and
loves life. And like most college guys, he's after the
woman of his dreams (for him that's Miss Piggy). I'm
happy to have Kermit with me in the photo because
I think we are a lot alike."
Hoping to be immortalized forever in a chapter
of university history, some students tried their hardest
to come up with a unique way to pose for the camera,
thus standing out from the hundreds of other students
on their page. For repeat offenders, it had become an
annual tradition. "Dressing up like a redneck with a
mullet and a ridiculous look on my face was just
something I wanted to do," said Joshua Lookabill. "It
says a lot about my personality. The first time I did it
was last year with my Bible study group and it was so
much fun, I just had to do it again."
Others had an agenda, intending to make a
statement with their photo. But even those who braved
their originality for the masses of students had a tar
more imposing presence to contend with for their
decision: their mothers. "I did it to do something
different," said Hudson Walker, "and I wanted to [tick]
my mom off."
Submitted for your approval, the Bluestone
staff dedicated this page to those individuals who
weren't afraid to be different, leaving a photographic
representation of who they were as students at the
university. THEEND

The archery team has grown stronger each year with
.1 number oi talented players whizzing towards their
target, the U.S. Intercollegiate Championships held
in May. By maintaining their eye on that mark, the
team did extremely well with its Men's Compound
Team and the Mixed Compound Team, placing first
at the Championships hosted by Penn State. ■ Two
outstanding additions to the team were freshmen Caleb
Heller and Brad Fiala, both considered very valuable
as two of the top recruits in the country. Heller was
widely considered to be the number one recruit in the
country and remained true to his title by winning the
individual National Championship on his last shot.
Continuing to help the team shine, Heller led the Men's
Compound Team to the National Championship,
generating a new record lor being the first Men's team
to ever win a National Tide in any sport at the university.
Fiala earned All-American honors, led the Men's Recurve
Team to second Place at Nationals, and individually
finished fourth at Nationals. ■ "Our kids outdid what
I expected of them," said Coach Bob Ryder of the
Dukes' accomplishments in the team
rounds. "We worked hard preparing for
the team events, and we shot better in the
team rounds than in the individual. Our
National Champion Men's Compound
team had one individual in the top 1 0 in the
men's compound individual seeding rounds,
while Texas A&M had four and Penn
State had three in the top 10." ■ Many
archers received All-American honors
including Brad Fiala and Steven Zakowicz
for Men's Olympic Bow, Rhonda Shaner
for Women's Olympic Bow, Caleb Heller
for Men's Compound Bow, and Sharon
Ryder and Jackie Schlueter for Women's
Compound Bow. Academic All-American
awards were presented to Caleb Heller,
Sharon Ryder, and Steve Zakowicz.
"This team was very motivated and their
enthusiasm was not the only thing that
was contagious, so was there dedication
to excellence," said Ryder. END

The Diamond Dukes came back strong and this time
they were "hitting" with lull force to make it to the
top. With a turbulent season in the minds of the
returning players, there was a determination that
flooded the stadium at each game as the team strove
in teach their goal. Faking into consideration that the
majority of the team consisted of freshmen, the Dukes
had a much better
season than in the
past with an overall
record of 37-22 and
finishing 12-9 in
the Colonial Athletic
Association (CAA).
■ Along with the
Duke's triumphant
season came many
notable players who
received awards for
their diligence and
team-work. The
Player of the Year,
Ritchie Thompson,
was a junior center-
fielder and led the
team in hitting and
was named to the
All-Conference and
All-East Region

learns. Enhancing these honors presented to him, he-
was also chosen by the Major League Baseball Draft
in the sLxth round to play for the Toronto Blue Jays. ■
Second baseman, senior Tim "T" Riley, who was also
drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 24th round, broke
a school and conference record in his career with 1 1 8
stolen bases in 140 attempts. Senior Eric Bender and
junior Greg Miller, both joined the 200 Career Hit
Club this season. ■ Sophomore Adam Wynegar,
was chosen as the most valuable pitcher with a 10-3
record, tying a school record for strike-outs with 105.
Wynegar was also named to the All-Conference and the
All-East Region teams. Another sophomore, Steve
Ballowe, a designated hitter, was also selected to the
All-Conference Team. li Standout freshman, Brent
Metheny, played third and short stop and was a great
asset to the team. "He was the teams closer and broke
the school's record for saves in a season," said Head
Coach Joe "Spanky" McFarland. Other outstanding
freshmen included third baseman and shortstop,
Mitch Rigsby, who started 35 games, Chris Cochran,
a starting rotation pitcher, and catcher, Matt
Deuchler, who started half the season's games. ■ "We
are excited that we made a 30 game turnaround in a
year and we feel that the program is headed in the
right direction," McFarland commented on his overall
impression of the season. The Dukes did considerably
well in the Conference by finishing fourth out of eight
teams and placing 36th in the country out of 285
teams within the National Power Rankings, theend

The 2000-2001 season brought a great deal of change
to the metis basketball team. ITie squad lost four seniors,
three of whom started last year. The young team only
had two returning starters, senior Mickey Dennis and
junior Tim Lyle. Another key player was sophomore
David Fanning who led the team in three point field
goals. Lvle led the team in field goal percentage, points,
rebounds (both offensive and defensive) and free throws.
The Dukes started off the regular season with a win,
rallying from a 22-point deficit to defeat Virginia
Military Institute 87-69. Lyle led the Dukes with a
team high 20 points, while sophomore David Fanning
was close behind with 19 points. The Dukes were
plagued with injuries and illness as their starting guard,
Dennis, fractured his foot halfway through the season,
and sophomore starting guard David Fanning sprained
his foot missing four games. "We had a series of injuries
that set us back early in the season," commented Coach
Sherman Dillard, but as the season progressed the
Dukes came together to play strong. ■ In the Dukes
Colonial Athletic Association opener the men took
on East Carolina University to defeat them 79-72.
The men were down by as much as 12 points in the
second half, but were led by sophomore Pat Mitchell
who had 2 1 points,
13 of which came
in the second half,
and 1 1 rebounds.
Although the Dukes
only shot 31 percent
in the first half, they
bounced back in the
second half to shoot
56 percent and hit
20 of their last 23
free throws. This
second half spurt,
along with Mitchell
and Braxton (who
added 18 points and
5 rebounds), led the
Dukes to a win in
their CAA opener.
■ A key game that
snapped a six game
losing streak, was
the victory over
American University
76-65. Lyle and

junior Ron Anderson led the team, each scoring and
rebounding in double figures. Anderson had a career
high of 16 points and 1'5 rebounds, while Lyle had
20 points and 1 1 rebounds in his second double-double
of the season. Braxton also contributed 16 points to
the win. The Dukes trailed only once in the beginning
of the game as they dominated the AU Eagles. ■ Coach
I )illard commented about the end of the season, "This
is a hard-working team with a great deal of team spirit.
As we closed the season the competitive spirit was
always there." n i END

CHEERLEADING
BY. CULLEY
1 lardwork, new and difficult skills and teamwork was
the power behind a cheerieading squad. Hie 2001 squad,
led by Coach Greg White-sell and Captain Brad Palmer,
was known fen its clean, creative and innovative style.
The squad awed the crowds at Bridgeforth Stadium in
the tall and they entertained the tans at the Convocation
t. \nier in the winter. ■ Promoting and representing
the school was the squad's primary focus as well as
competing at the National Cheerieading Association
(NCA) Nationals in Daytona Beach, Fla. in the spring.
■ The cheerieading squad took pride in supporting
teams such as football and both mens and women's
basketball. In an effort to support all athletes, the
squad also attended at least one game or match per
season tor all the other sports. In addition to their
regular cheer duties, they participated in activities and
community sen-ice projects such as Special Olympics,
March of Dimes, Monster Mash and The United Way.
■ They also dedicated many hours to their training,
always showing a strong commitment to their efforts.
The cheerleaders averaged 20 hours per week to practice
and games since cheerieading was a year-round sport
that required lots of dedication. The squad had Monday
and Wednesday practices at dawn and in the afternoon
on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, the squad practiced
tumbling, stunting, baskets and pyramids. Although

cheerleader Janine Delardo goes over

their sport was a huge time commitment, they still
managed to have time fbi outside activities including
Creek I ilc. on and oil campus jobs and intramural
sports. ITic cheerieading squad consisted ol two teams,
which used to be called Varsity and Junior Varsity but
were changed to the Purple and Cold squads to make
the teams more equal and for everyone to have more
experience. The Purple team cheered at every football
and basketball game, both home and away. The Purple
team was required to do backhand spring layouts, heel-
stretch fulls as well as a standing tuck. The Gold team
cheered at home football games and women's basketball
games and was required to perform a back-hand spring.
Although members of all teams were required to be
able to do back-hand springs, a solid coed partner
stunting technique had to have crowd appeal and a
cleanly executed appearance. ■ During summer camp,
the Purple and Gold teams qualified to attend the
National Competition in Daytona Beach, Fla. In the
fall, each team submitted a skills video that was reviewed
and ranked. The top 10 teams were offered bids. ■
"The cheerleaders worked hard this year to support
JMU Athletes both on and off the field. The students
who made up the team this year more than held up
the tradition of excellence that the JMU Cheerieading
program has attained," said Coach Whitesell. END
MAIN FOCUS THIS YEAR IS ON
supporting the teams," said Jaclyn
Marsano who cheered for the Dukes
for two years.The cheerleaders were
also active in the Harrisonburg
community and participated in projects
with elementary students. Photo by

CROSS CQUN
BY CARTER
< ontinuing the momentum of success under second-
year hc.ul coach Have Rinker, the men's cross country
team finished yet another winning season. The team
was comprised of many standout runners with seniors
Mike Fox and Eric Post posting winning times consis-
tendy all season. The season was wrapped up with a
second place finish at the Colonial Athletic Association
championships. Although the two-time defending
champion Dukes lost to William atid Mary in the CAA
championships, the season was still tremendously
successful. Bodt Fox and Post earned All- Region honors,
and led the team to a sixth place finish in the NCAA
Southeast Region Championships. In addition, Fox
earned his second Ail-American honor by placing 25th
out of 255 runners at the NCAA championships. 3>
The team started oft the season right at the Spike Shoe
Invitational, placing second out of 23 teams. Fox placed
second in the 5.2 mile race, followed by Post in third
and junior Brian Reutinger in sixth. The team continued
their success in the 8,000m at the George Washing-
ton University Invitational finishing ninth of 19 teams
and at the Iona Meet of Champions where the men
finished an impressive sixth of 23 teams in the 5-mile
race. Fox, Post and Reutinger continued to finish well
with first, 31st and 45th places respectively. ■ At the
CAA championships, an 8,000m race, Fox finished
first in a field of 68 runners, with Post not far behind
in fourth place. Both earned All-CAA honors, and
helped the team secure second place with the Tribe
having seven runners finish in the top 10. Coach
Rinker summed up die season by commenting, "Several
injuries kept this team from accomplishing everything
it could have. However, Mike Fox had one of the greatest
cross-country seasons ever by an athlete in this program.
He became the first athlete at this university to get
two All-American honors in his career." S. Coach Rinker
not only had success with his men, but also with the
women in his first year as head coach. The women
also defended a CAA championship title and looked
forward to another successful season, only losing one
runner from the top seven to graduation last spring.
Senior Keisha Banks and junior Michelle Smith led
the team to another winning season. ■ The women
also started off strong at the 6,000m Spiked Shoe
Invitational placing third out of 25 teams. Smith and
Banks both placed well, in fourth and 1 5th places
respectively. The momentum continued as the Dukes
finished second out of 15 teams in the 5,000m race

women's season by saying, "It was a season
that started with questions because of losing
starters from last year, but some of the
women stepped up and answered those
questions convincingly. Michelle Smith
and Keisha Banks were great team leaders

I lie fencing team wrapped up another season hill of
excitement and skill. I lead Coach Paul Campbell entered
Ins seventh season this year as the fencing coach, with
the help of Assistant Coach Mar)' Anne Walker. The
fencing team consisted of three teams, foil, epee and
sabre. The toil team consisted juniors Devon Allen,
Beth Larson, sophomore Megan Clark, and freshmen
Valerie DeRose, Allison Larkin and Jennifer Redmore.
The toil squad lost a very valuable fencer from last
season, but returned three fencers and three new
additions, Jennifer Redmore, Valerie DeRose and Allison
Larkin. ■ The epee team included juniors Elizabeth
Conlin, Beth
Larson, Erinn Reed,
Alison Schwartz
and Erin Tully. The
epee squad was the
most unchanged.
The squad did not
lose anyone due to
graduation. The
only difference was
the change in some
playing time. ■ The
sabre team included
junior Allison
Schwartz and
freshmen Diana
Strack and Valerie
DeRose. The team
welcomed Allison
Schwartz back to
the squad who was
named the Most
Valuable Fencer
last season and
was the team captain this season. Newcomers Diana
Strack and Valerie DeRose also joined her. ■ Coach
Campbell was optimistic at the beginning of the season
after being the Virginia State Champions for four
straight years and placing second at the National
Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association last
season. They faced a tough season but focused on
their primary goals of enjoyment, practicing hard
and competing hard. END

Hie field hockey team began their season t His year
under the advisement of a new coach and a whole new
a taching staff. Irene Hovart joined the athletic staff
replacing Christy Morgan who had been coaching the
team since 1991. Hovart had been an assistant coach at
Connecticut for the past 5 years. "Irene is held in
highest regard by her current team and coaching staff
at Connecticut. Her ability to recruit and teach the
finer points of the game will be key to ensuring that
our field hockey program flourishes. She will make a
wonderful head coach and mentor for the young
women in our program," said Director of Athletics,
Jeff Bourne. ■ Under Hovart and new Assistant Coaches
Julie Clark and Erica Hebert, the field hockey team
consisted of five seniors, three juniors and 1 5 underclass-
men. Coach Hovart said, when describing the team, "I
believe that when you combine talent and athleticism
with dedication to the game and to your teammates,
any goal is attainable. These young women have a great
respect for demands of this sport, and with the unity they
have as a team." ■ Liz Sanders, Theresa Dinallo, and
Traci Forchetti led the Duke's offense. Sanders and
Dinallo were both seniors and returning starters, while
Forcherti was a part-time starter last season. The game
against Virginia Commonwealth University was a
particularly good game for the Dukes. Sanders, Forchetti
and freshman Janelle Perlis each scored twice helping
the Dukes to win their fifth consecutive game of the
season. Senior goalkeeper, Amanda Latz also had four
saves during the game and reserve Kiernan Raffo helped
hold on to the shutout. IS Throughout the season, the
team faced tough competition playing against many
nationally ranked teams including University of North
Carolina, University of Virginia, University of Maryland,
Old Dominion University and Wake Forest University.
The Dukes lost every game against each nationally
ranked team, however they were ail close games. The
women lost each game by fewer than five goals. The
team finished second in the CAA for the second year
in a row behind three-time CAA Champion ODU.
Seeded second going into the CAA Tournament, the
Dukes faced William and Mary in their first game and
were able to avenge a loss earlier in the season by beating
the Tribe 2- 1 . Next, the team had to face arch rival ODU
in the championship game. The women lost 10-0 despite
a tough fight in the first half. The Dukes held ODU
to just two goals in the first half before the Monarchs
exploded for eight goals in the second half T> END

I Ik Pukes and defending Atlantic 10 Champions
started their season with one goal: to defend their title.
Although, the Duke.s did not win the Adantic 10, they
did Finish the season with a winning record of 6-5-
0 and a two-year winning streak at home. ■ The season
began with an incredible amount of energy as the team
crushed Lock Haven 72-0. Spirits were high going
into the next game against Liberty as the Dukes defeated
the Flames 38-7. After beating South Florida the year
before, the Bulls upset the Dukes winning 26-7. South
Florida scored 10 points in the first quarter and 16
in the second, while the Dukes went scoreless in the
first half. The defense held the Bulls scoreless in the
second half as the Dukes managed to score in the fourth
quarter but it was not enough to win. Going into their
fifth game of the season, the team was rallied by an
energetic Homecoming crowd to defeat Villanova
57-23, which turned out to be their most prominent
game of the season. The following week, brought yet
another disappointment against Rhode Island, as the
Dukes lost in a close game 7-6. Towards the end of their
season the Dukes won two out of their last five games,
losing the last two games on the road to Richmond
and Northeastern. Although the team went through
some ups and downs, they played with dedication and
heart. Assistant Defense Coach Mike Luckie believed
the team began the season strong but lost momentum
due to players' injuries and penalties. "You can really
tell that the guys love football by how they practice
and how well they
perform each
weekend," said
Luckie. Due to the
graduation of
running back Curtis
Keaton, there was a
critical void created
in the Dukes'
backfield. Senior
Delvin Joyce was
given the duty of
filling this position
which he executed
successfully
throughout the year

two NCAA records and was the first player in Division
I-AA history to accumulate career totals of over 1 ,000
yards for rushing, receiving, punt returns and kickoff
returns. In the Adantic 10 victory over Villanova, Joyce
played one of his best games as he returned four punts
for 135 yards and set the Division I-AA record for
total career yards in punt returns with 1 ,488 yards.
This allowed him to finish his career with 262 all-
purpose yards, the third best mark of his career and
the sixth best game mark in the program's history. "It
was great because even diough we had some misfortunes
during the season that set us back, we were able to pull
together defensively to beat Villanova who was ranked
high. I am proud of the team and to have been a part
of it," said Joyce. H Many seniors played a critical role
on the offensive side, such as Charles Berry and Earnest
Payton. Berry, the teams' quarterback, led the offense
against the Villanova Wildcats to complete 15 of 20
passes for a career high of 274-yards and he ran six
times for 40-yards. Berry's total offense of 314-yards
created the ninth-best game mark in team history.
Berry had a season high at home against New
Hampshire where he carried the ball 22
times for 105 yards and rwo touchdowns,
which helped the Dukes, win 24-13. Berry
finished the season completing 109 out
of 185 passes and a total of 1 ,409 yards.
■ The win over New Hampshire allowed
the Dukes to set a record for consecutive
wins at home with 13. Senior wide receiver,
Payton, became the school's all-time
receptions leader during the game against
Lock Haven to break the previous record
of 1 58 receptions. He finished his career
with 1 83 receptions as a Duke. Defensively,
Chris Morant stood out as he led the team
in sacks. Morant, a senior defensive end,
had two sacks at Delaware to set a career
record of 30 sacks and raised this record to 33 with
two sacks against Maine as they defeated the Black
bears 22-7 and one sack in a 21-2 loss at Richmond.
Along with Morant, senior Ron Atkins and junior
Derek Pack were both a dominant presence for the
defense. "All of these leaders are very strong and talented
players who made fine performers out on the field,"
said Luckie. I I END

Continuing to achieve excellence in the spring, the
men's golf team finished second overall in the Colonial
Adiletic Association, making it the team's sixth consecu-
tive year to compete at the East Regionals. This success
highlighted the selection of the team's coach, Paul
Cooden who was honored along with ODU's coach tor
the Co-Coach of the Year Award. The team was led by
seniors Ben Keefer, Shane Foster, and Scott Polen
throughout the season. Polen won the CAA Champi-
onship finishing with a score of 64 in his final round.
Co-Captain Keefer made his career best with a six under
par 66 in the second round. Sophomore Chris Cope,
junior Matt Paulson, and Keefer were all chosen for
the spring CAA Scholar Athlete Award. ■ The season
started in February with the Emerald Coast Collegiate
tournament where they placed 1 2th out of 1 5 teams.
During spring break the team traveled to Savannah,
Ga. for the Wolverine South Invitational and placed
sixth out of 17 teams. As they traveled farther south for
the Silver Springs Shore Invite, the season took a
promising turn for the Dukes. In every following
tournament the team shot a 298 or less as they continued
to climb to the top. They finished fourth out of 1 1
teams in the Kauai Collegiate Cup tournament, third
out of 18 teams in the Pirate Spring Intercollegiate
tournament, and fourth out of 14 teams in the Penn
State tournament. Further emphasizing their excellent
season, the team was also highlighted by their individual
season averages. Polen led the team with an average of
74.12, followed by Foster with an average of 74.75
and Keefer with an average of 74.88. ■ The team's
roster had changed dramatically over the summer after
losing three seniors to graduation, leaving Mike Gooden
as the only senior. Team Co-Captains Gooden and
junior Chris Cope led a team of new recruits under
the head coaching of six-year veteran Paul Gooden.
The season began at the Navy Fall Invitational in
September with a 10th place finish out of 21 teams
and a finish by sophomore Geoff Forcino and Cope to
tie for 27th place out of 104 entires. At the JMU
Invitational the following week, the team improved to
place third out of 1 7 teams
with Cope finishing first out
of 90 entries with a score of
141 . ■ Plowing their way to
the top, the newest members
of the team were freshmen
Jay Woodson, John Scott
Rattan, and Tom Strange who
all tied for 28th place while
Gooden finished 37th. Still
striving for excellence, the men's
team placed seventh out of 1 5
teams at the UNC-Wilmington
River Landing Intercollegiate
tournament, but then fell behind
at the VCU Fall Preview
tournament to finish last.
Although their performance at
VCU did not reveal the team's
full potential, they did not
lose hope and fought to finish
eighth out of 16 teams at the Georgetown
Invitational the following week. "I think the
problems that we had this fall stemmed
from the fact our spring team was made up
of three experienced seniors, one junior
and one sophomore as compared to a less
experienced group this fall," said Coach
Gooden. "With these new freshmen we
have the talent to rise up and have a high
ranked team," he said, th END

Another triumphant season could be attributed to
the diligence ot the women's golt team. During their
spring season, the Dukes started out slow but built
up momentum to bring their season to a great close.
At the Southern Miss Lady Invitational in February,
the team finished seventh out or 1 5 teams. In the final
round junior Maria Zappone shot a final round even
par to finish seventh individually. Continuing their
success, the team placed second at the Edwin Watts/
Carolinas Classic against 26 other teams, including
George State, UNC-Greensboro and Campbell
University. Freshman Meghan Adams was the top-
finisher tor the team, placing eighth out of 135 entries.
■ The ladies winning streak began at the Elon College
Women's Invitational as senior Julie Rossum placed
third with a two-day total of 1 54 and Adams placed
fifth with a total of 155. The team was led once again
by Rossum at the William and Mary Invitational to
place first, while Rossum placed second individually
and Adams placed third. To complete a great season,
the ladies won their third consecutive tournament at
the Lady Dukes Invitational in front of a home crowd
by an outstanding 17 shots. The entire starting roster
finished within the top 20 and gave Adams her first
collegiate win and freshman Jessica Lewis a second
place finish tor the second time in her college career.
■ Going into the fall, the women's team was still thriving
off their record breaking wins from the previous season
and entered the new season with high expectations.
More pressure was placed upon the team as they aimed
to be the first women's golf team to make it to the
NCAA championships. Freshman )ayme Langtord,
and sophomores Jessica Lewis and Meghan Adams
comprised a dynamite trio that led the team with
consistent scoring. "These three girls form an outstanding
group right now and they will continue to improve
each year," said Coach Paul Gooden. With the added
pressure to make it to the NCAA tournament, the team
placed eighth in their first two events at the Baytree/
Unlimited Potential Invitational and the Memphis
Invitational. ■ Once the team began to relax they were
able to finish second out of 16 teams at the Penn State
Invitational, and finished 12 strokes ahead of UNC-
Greensboro who held third place. Lewis led the team
with scores of 74-72-77 to place second, while Adams
and Langtord followed her placing in the top 20.
Captain, senior Maria Zappone has been a great team
player for the Dukes all four years. Coach Gooden
said, "Maria has been a real valuable asset to the ladies'
team. We can always count on her to fight hard and
have every stroke accounted tor." In the Edwin
Watts/ Palmetto Intercollegiate tournament, the ladies
made a final attempt ot the season to place fifth out
ot 13 teams. Adams placed first out of 80 entries with
a score of 223 and Langford tied for fifth place with
a score of 227. 2 Coach Gooden has coached the
women's team for two years now and is looking forward
to a promising future. "My goal as a coach is to put
together a great team that goes higher in the country's
rankings every year," said Coach Gooden. ! END

The 2001 season for the men and women's gymnastics
teams were complimented by an influx ol talented
newcomers on both sides. The MEN made their first
attempt of the season at the Navy Open placing fourth
out of six teams. The following week at the West Point
Open, freshmen Jason Woodnick had an impressive
performance by placing first in the pommel horse, still
rings, vault, parallel bars and all-around and placed
second in the floor exercise and the horizontal bar. The
team as a whole finished ninth out of the 11 competing
teams which included big schools such as Penn State,
University of Massachusetts, Temple University, and
Army. The team was once again defeated by Temple
at their third away game as the Dukes struggled to
improve their individual scores. Although the team
lost, their overall score of 181.250 was a team best
of the season at that point. Individually, junior Nick
Blanton, one of the top returnees and 2000 State Ail-
Around champion still continued to lead the team.
Blanton finished first in pommel horse and second
in the all-around at the Navy Open. At the West Point
Open he placed first
in the floor exercise and
horizontal bar and
placed second in the
pommel horse, still
rings, parallel bars,
vault, and all-around.
■ Although the
WOMEN'S team lost

Arizona, and North Carolina State, the level of optimism
about the rest of the season was still high. At the next
match, which was in front of their home crowd, the
Dukes lost to Pittsburgh in a close match 1 89.050 to
188.725. At Rutgers University the women stepped
up and finished first among Rutgers and Cortland.
Continuing to keep this thriving pace, the Dukes beat
Temple at their next away match by a big margin of
188.575 to 182.850. Head coach, Roger Burke, the
ECAC 1 999-2000 coach of the year, emphasized the
unity of the team as a solid core of strong and consistent
competitors, opposed to individuality. He looked
forward to the guidance and leadership of senior co-
captains Rachel Malinowski and Ashleigh Suarez, along
with senior Ally Betar who led the Dukes throughout
the season with their experience and team strength.
As part of one of the best recruiting classes in the team's
history and one of the newest members to the team,
freshman Nicole Bascope competed in five events and
placed first in the all-around with 37. 1 50 at the meet
where they dominated Temple. Her teammate, freshmen
Erin Fitzgerald, competed in three events and placed
first in vault and beam. Improvement was the main
theme for the two teams who had the dedication needed
to keep them focused and allowed them to compete
with intensity in every match this season, TH end

The members of women's lacrosse had two very important goals for the Spring season.
The women wanted to defend its Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title and to
obtain a fourth straight bid to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
tournament. ■ The team had another successful season and continued to climb up
the ranks nationally ending with an overall record of 13-5 and a conference record of
6-0, putting them in first for the regular season and CAA tournament runner-up.
Along with conference success, the team went to the NCAA tournament for the
fourth year-in-a-row, making it to the semifinals and ending with a national ranking
of third. ■ Not only was the entire team successful, but many individuals received
honors. Four players received All-South Region honors. Seniors Alivian Coates, Jess
Marion, and Julie Martinez were named to the first team, while senior Amy Brew was
named to the second team. ■ In addition, Coates also received Academic All-District
Honors. Four players also earned Ail-American Honors. Coates and Marion were
named to the first team and Martinez and Brew were named to the second team.
Marion and Brew were named to the AJl-American team for the third season in a
row, while Coates and Martinez were selected for the second time. " END

BY CARTER
The nuns soccer team had a tremendous season, with
great success for the team and for many individuals.
In his 1 5th year as Head Coach, Dr. Tom Martin guided
a talented team through a tough schedule. Coach Martin
said. "A good barometer ot a season is the speed with
which it goes by. A good season will go by quickly.
and a poor season will drag on. This season flew by."
The team finished the season with an overall record of
17-4-1, and a conference record of 10-1, placing them
in first atop the Colonial Athletic Association. The
team also went undefeated at home during the regular
season. The team's final national ranking by the National
Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) was
13th. Many ot their games were close, five of them
going into overtime. ■ One component that contributed
to the mens success was their trip to England in the
summer. In early August, the men traveled to England
and spent 10 days playing in five games. The trip was
not only a soccer experience, but an educational, bonding
experience that helped the Dukes overcome adversity,
giving them an edge over their competitors. B The team
had depth, returning with many starters and many
experienced players. Red-shirt sophomore Josh
Kovolenko stepped up as goalkeeper to fill the spot
of three-year starter Billy DuRoss who graduated last
spring. Kovolenko came out strong, starting every
game. Kovolenko tied the school season shutout record
with 1 1 shutouts and was nationally ranked among
NCAA Division I players in goals-against average. Senior
Co-Captain David Wood led the team in goals, ending
the season with a total of 12, and his career with 16
goals. Wood, along with senior Randy Steeprow, were
co-captains who, according to coach Martin, "were
exemplary leaders by example." Junior defender Levi
Strayer also had a great season as a key player in the
Dukes' defense and was named the CAA men's soccer
Co-Defender of the Year. ■ The Dukes had their last
home game of the regular season against George Mason
University. Junior Reggie Rivers scored twice to give
the men a 2-0 win. The game broke a school record
ot the best home regular-season play with a 10-0-0
record. Kovolenko earned his ninth complete-game
shutout of the year and the forth-straight shutout for
kovolenko and the Dukes. With the wrap-up of the
regular season, coach Martin was named the CAA
Men's Soccer Coach of the Year for the fourth time
in his coaching career. Strayer, Wood, and Kovolenko
were all named to the All-CAA First Team, while senior
Randy Steeprow and Rivers were named to the AJ1-
CAA Second Team. B Although the Dukes did not
win the CAA tournament, they did receive a bid to
the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1996,
only the 10th time in the history of the program. In
the CAA tournament, the Dukes easily beat Virginia
Commonwealth 3-0 in the first
round, but tell to William and
Mary 0-4, a team that they had
lost to in overtime during the
regular season. In the NCAA
tournament, the Dukes got a
first round game at home
against St. Johns, a strong team
playing in the NCAA tourna-
ment for the eighth year in a
row. The game was close, tied
until the 75th minute when
St. Johns put the goal in the
net for the 1-0 win. B Coach
Martin summed
up the season by
commenting,
"This season was
one of, if not the
most rewarding
seasons, in a sense
that this was a fun
group. I liked this
team a great deal.
It was rewarding
to see them
overcome adver-
sity and come
together for
success." THEEND

Coach Dave Lombardo and the women's soccer team
had a rough season, but despite injuries, losing six starters
and game disappointments, the team saw individual
successes. The team faced a difficult schedule early in
the season when they traveled to California and faced
two (op 10 teams on the West Coast, California and
San Diego State. The lone senior and one of the teams
three captains, Beth Burgess led a young team with 1 3
freshmen, six sophomores, and five juniors. Coach
Lombardo summed up the season by commenting,
"Out season wasn't the success we had hoped for on
the field. It was certainly a rebuilding year. The upside is
diat we had a lot of freshman get some quality playing
experience that will serve us well down the road." ■
Freshman Christy Metzker immediately became a key
player on the team as a starter, and led the team in both
goals and assists. The team also had great playing from
junior goalkeeper Suzanne Wilson, who moved into
third place on JMU's career saves list. ■ The team was
hurt by injuries early in the season when junior Captain
Beth McNamara injured her knee in the first game of
the season against West Virginia. McNamara was able
to red-shirt, had surgery on her knee and would return
next year. Towards the end of the season, junior Katie
McNamara also went down with a knee injury. S Junior,
Captain Jamie Miller continued to be strong in the
midfield, starting every game and finished with three
goals, one of which was a game winner. Freshman red-
shirt Marisa Lemme also had a great season with five
goals, two of which were game winners. In their last
game against William and Man', Lemme scored the
game-winning goal in overtime to end the tegular season
at home on a positive note. The game against the Tribe
was a big win tot the Dukes. The women led 2-0 in the
second period until William and Mary scored two goals
in three minutes to tie the game. That sent the game
into overtime when Lemme blew a shot past the
goalkeeper to score the winning goal and upset the 1 9th
ranked William and Mary. ■ In the CAA Tournament,
the Dukes won their first game against North Carolina
Wilmington 1-0, a team they had lost to eatlier in
the season. However the Dukes lost the second game
to William and Mary 0-2. Although the team did not
have the success that they'd hoped for in the CAA
tournament, two players, sophomore red-shirt, Terri
Joyce and freshman Bryant Karpinski, were both named
to the All-Tournament team. In addition, Metzker arid
Miller were named to the All-CAA second team. ■
"Statistically we didn't have a winning season, but with
. Wilson kicks the ball after yet another
the experiences and lessons we learned as a team and 5ave. Wilson moved into third place
as a family, we had a winning season," said sophomore on JMU'S career saves list and ended
the season with 102 saves. Photo by

The men's tennis team had a good season this year,
led by Head Coach Steven Secord. In the spring, the
team finished 1 1-10 overall, 6-3 in the Colonial Athletic
Association, and 1-1 in the CAA Tournament. The
team's cumulative fall season was 21-16 in singles play
and 1 1-10 in doubles competition. The team consisted
of five seniors, one junior, two sophomores, and three
freshmen. The team had lour newcomers this season:
Bryan Knehr was a sophomore walk-on and freshmen
Craig Anderson, Colin Malcolm and Chris Snow.
In the fall, Knehr won tour out ol six singles matches
in which he competed and senior Andrew Lux won
seven of nine singles matches. ■ In fall the team played
individual tournaments, whereas in spring they played
team matches. Junior, captain Andrew Lux said, "In
general, the best matches for me are the ones that are
really close, and those that decide whether the team is
going to win or lose. II I feel that pressure and the
support ot all my teammates standing right next to
the court at the same time, I perform best. I get into
a mental state ot mind where I lose all nervousness
and all I see is the ball, and then I know I cannot
lose." Lux came to the university to play tennis in
the spring of 1999 as an international student trom
Germany. Lux had been a team captain tor two
consecutive years, and also the chairman of the Student-
Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC). ■ The mens team
greatly valued team cohesiveness. This season the team
did a great job ot integrating the three new freshmen
and the one walk-on and made them part ot the team.
"What counts is that we are a team on the court, but
also oft the court. I consider all of my teammates my
best triends here at school,'' said Lux. tk: END

Under the coaching of Bill Walton, the MEN'S track
and Held team had continued success in the '00 season.
The team placed in the top 10 for cross country,
indoors, and outdoors tor the second year in a row.
In die Eastern Championships (IC4A, with 100 member
schools), the indoor team placed eighth. The IC4A
championships produced one champion, Russ Coleman,
in the 300m. Roscoe Coles tied the school record in
the 200m, David Spiller broke the school record in
the 500m and seven runners were named All-East
performers. ■ The outdoor team finished seventh in
the IC4A championships. Anthony Wallace placed
first in the long jump, and the 4xl00m-relay team of
Phil Acosta, Roscoe Coles, Darian Parker, and Derek
Mitchell also placed first. Two school records were
broken: Mike Fox in the 3,000m steeplechase and
David Spiller in the 10,000m. ■ The team was hurt
by several injuries (both indoor and outdoor), and
had to red-shirt some athletes. Several individuals were
still able to shine at both the regional and national level.
Younger athletes such as freshmen John Fraser, Phil
Acosta, and David Raymond, were given the chance to
step up and gain experience that should pay off in
the future. Coach Walton summed up the season by
commenting, "The emergence of team balance,
continued team enthusiasm and experience for young
athletes were the biggest themes for the season. It all
goes well, the strong foundation of our season will be
rewarded with greater returns next year." theend

The women's volleyball team proved that the loss
of three standout seniors and four-year Head Coach
Chris Beerman, would not stop them from defending
dieir Colonial Athletic Association tide. Losing a coach
can be tough as an athlete becomes accustomed to a
certain style of coaching, but the Dukes showed that
they are still capable ot winning as a team as they finished
second in the CAA after the regular season and won
the CAA tournament for the second year in a row. ■
Under new Head Coach Disa Johnson-Garner and
Assistant Coach Mary Tendler, the team was made
up of two seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and
six freshmen. The women opened their season with
their home tournament the Days Inn/JMU Classic, in
which they went undefeated against Maine, Niagara
and Delaware to win the tournament in front ot their
fans in the Convocation Center. At the Penn State
Invitational, the Nittany Lions dominated the Dukes
in each set winning 15-1 in the first two sets and 15-
0 in the third set. After this disappointing match, the
Dukes struck back to win their next nine consecutive
games. The first three ot these wins were against Austin
Peay, Southern Illinois, and Kentucky during the Kentucky
Classic, where the team made pivotal turning points
in order to excel as a team. A disappointment for the
team was against East Carolina and George Mason on
the road. The women lost to East Carolina three sets
to one early in the season but came back to beat the
Pirates at home three sets to one. The Dukes faced
George Mason three times, losing twice and winning
when it counted most in the CAA tournament. ■ The
players were plagued with constant injuries, especially
the setter, freshman Lauren Ruzicka who had a knee
injury, which made it difficult for the team to find
consistency when the line-up was continually reshuffled.
Although Ruzicka played fewer games due to her injury
she still averaged 13.16 assists per game, which made
a school single season record and she placed eighth All-
time in a single season with 974 total assists. ■ Two of
the most significant victories occurred as the Dukes
defeated William and Mary at home for the third straight
time diis season, which helped the Dukes' seeding in
the conference. The very next day the Dukes beat George
Mason for the first time this season to win the CAA
tournament and claim the tide. The Dukes headed into
the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row
with a season record of 21-9. This tournament turned
out to be the best outing ot the season even though
they lost in the first round. The Dukes played three
outstanding sets against the defending national
champions, Penn State. Showing absolutely no fear
or intimidation, the Dukes played hard and earned
the respect of many
as they faced a
tough opponent in
a close loss of three
sets 15-12, 15-11,
and 15-7. "I'm
really proud of the
girls tor winning
the Conference
and competing well
to almost beat the
top seed. They
definitely went in and strengthened their
abilities," said Coach Johnson-Garner. ■
Many of the players had weary outlooks
of how the season would actually turn out.
"I really didn't know what to expect at the
beginning of the season with so many
young, new starters, but they definitely
exceeded my expectations and I am so
proud ot how they competed and developed
as Division I players. The way they
competed made my senior year very
enjoyable," said Gessler. Gessler had an
exceptional career leaving the university
placing second all-time in solo blocks widi
112, third in block assists with 275 and in
total blocks widi 387, and founh in all-rime
blocking average of .90 blocks. She became
the second player in the school's history to
have over 1 ,000 kills and digs, ranking
fourth in digs with 1 ,022. Other players
were also recognized for their accomplish-
ments throughout the season. Junior Larissa
Daily was named to the Second Team All-
Conference, while junior Dainelle
Heinbaugh and Ruzicka were named to
the CAA All-Tournament Team. THEEND

The team morale for the wrestlers this season was at
a high after winning the Colonial Athletic Association
title two years in a row and having two defending CAA
champions and NCAA qualifiers, seniors Nate Rickman
and D.J. Hockman, return to lead the team. Those
members who showed influential camaraderie, such
as senior Scott Brubaker and sophomore Dave Colabella,
both helped lead the team with enthusiasm throughout
the season. "Both inside and outside of the room they
both proved to be good leaders," said Coach Jeff
"Peanut" Bowyer.
At the beginning of
the year there were
some additions to
the team such as
sophomore Pat Diaz
who transferred
from American
University and twin
brothers, Geoff
and Dalton Head,
who started each
meet, along with
freshman Todd
Schroeder. ■ Two
of the best matches
that the team
conquered were
against Campbell
University and
NC State University.
At the home meet
against Campbell,
the win proved to
show some real talent on behalf of their determination
and energy with a total score of 37-3. This also
presented a most favorable event for Coach Bowyer
who had his 100th win and commented on how
exceptional the guys wrestling turned out to be that
night. "Going into that match, we wanted to wrestle
very well that night and we ended up dominating them!
I was very impressed with the performance of the kids.
It was certainly a nice milestone to post 100 wins, both
as an athlete and a coach," said Bowyer, a previous
wrestler in the program and coach for the Dukes for
the past 1 3 years. ■ The team pulled together to focus

more on their
wrestling after
sudden changes in
the athletic program
threatened the
future of the team
at the University.
Coach Bowyer
attributed some of
the team's
inconsistencies
within the season to
the fact that the
team may be pulled
from the athletic
program, which
seemed to affect the
focus of many
wrestlers. A major
frustration for many
wrestlers during the
second semester was
whether to transfer
to another school to
still be eligible to
wrestle if the team
was dropped, or risk
staying with the
Dukes. Although
the season had one of their best returning
teams, the pressures of still being able to
wrestle forced a few guys to red-shirt to
preserve their eligibility as an athlete. "I've
been impressed with their ability to stay
focused through all the diversity of the
situation," said Assistant Coach Doug
Detrick, former 1 997 graduate and wrestler
under Coach Bowyer. ■ "We've had a lot
of peaks and valleys during the season due
to the inexperience of sophomores and
freshmen and the return of only one starter
in the line-up," said Coach Bowyer. Despite
these obstacles, each team member displayed
a great amount of influence in helping the
team exceed throughout the season, both
individually and as a team, thtend

The women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. served as prime
examples ol an organization whose members focused on performing
community service to an array ot local and national organizations. "We
strive to focus on sisterhood, scholarship, and service to all mankind, said
senior and President Da'Net Henderson.
The 17 sisters banded together to sponsor and plan a plethora of community
service programs through their chapter. Lambda Chi, and under the direction
of the national office of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. located in Chicago.
"Sen ice is one ot our four principles. It we didn't follow through with these
programs we wouldn't be living up to what we were founded on," said senior,
Vice President Shavalyea Wyatt.
Each month, the members of the Lambda Chi chapter of AKA tocused
on a target cause that had been given at the sorority's national level and
incorporated into the Lambda Chi's chapter service programs. An example
of such a program was Project SEND, a collaborative effort made by sisters
of AKA across the nation to raise money for encyclopedias and dictionaries
to be sent to the people ot Africa. Prior to the frigid, cold winter months,
the sisters collected coats in October to donate to the Mercy House in
Harrisonburg. The sisters visited the Association of Retarded Citizens to play
bingo with the patients. "We want to let them know that they are not forgotten
in our community, said Wyatt.
In an effort to keep the community aesthetically pleasing to the residents
and students of Harrisonburg, AKA participated in the Adopt-A-Highway
program through the Harrisonburg Department of Public Works. Twice a
semester the sisters picked up the trash that littered Waterman Drive located
near the Waterman Elementary School.
The purpose of the Lambda Chi chapter of AKA was to cultivate and
encourage high scholastic and ethical standards within their sorority. The
high standards ot the sisters were challenged and met with every hour they
volunteered outside ot their busy student lives and continued their sorority's
legacy to serve mankind. By Adriana Jouvtinis

Twice a year the members of the Air and Waste Management Association (AWMA) traveled
to the George Washington National Forest to clean up a mile-stretch of land along the Dry River.
"It's really sad to see what happened to the land since the last visit," said senior, President Stacey Thruston.
AWMA participated in the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Adopt-A-Stream
program in the spring. All members were encouraged to go at least once a school year. "It's rewarding
both personally and as a group to make the environment around the Diy River aesthetically pleasing
for whoever visits or passes by," said senior, Outreach Coordinator Tim Barrett. AWMA sought to raise
environmental awareness internally as an association but extended their views though sponsored pro-
grams open to all.
AWMA, a national organization, welcomed all students with an interest in environmental awareness.
The organization was awarded the Chapter of the Year Award in the middle-sized school category the
past two years at the AWMA National Convention. Each semester AWMA invited a string of speakers
to offer an array of perspectives on current environmental issues as well as personal experience in dieir
particular career paths. Bill Cook of the Shenandoah National Park Service, discussed the "Bear Facts,"
an informative night about die misconceptions people have of bears and tips on what to do when faced
with a bear in the wild.
The group planned die Environmental Career Fair that allowed students seeking jobs in the
environmental field to begin networking for the future. AWMA sought to expose students to some real
environmental businesses and what the professional scene had to offer in their journey towards a career
in the environment.
AWMA collaborated in an effort to sponsor educational events that would enhance the knowledge
of the community about preserving, protecting, and restoring the environment. By Adriana Jouvanis

The "5 members of the Beta Omicron chapter of Alpha Kappa
I jmlxla celebrated a very successfiil year bv being named the Mens
Greek Chapter of the Year. The brothers ot AKA won awards in academics,
leadership, member education, recruitment, risk management, sell government
and service. AKA especially excelled in the area ot new membership boasting
consecutive successful recruitments.
"Our rush chairs get a lot of the credit," said junior Scott Ewert, vice
president of member education. "They motivated the brotherhood to take
pride in things we'd done in the past and motivated us to show others that
this was the place to be." Tradition always found AKA brothers in leadership
positions and extracurricular activities and honor societies. "Our brothers
encourage the other activities of our brothers," said senior T.J. Oleksiak,
vice president.
AKA hosted two annual fundraisers that produced an impressive turn-out
and raised a lot ot money. Their fall event, Turkey Trot, was a 5K Walk/Run
co-hosted by Tfi-Sigma and raised money for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
In the spring, AKA hosted their annual Lombardi Gras. "This was the
culminating activity when we got all ot our brothers focused on one project,"
said Ewert. The event was founded in 1996 by AKA to benefit one of their
brothers, Brian Stewart, who was diagnosed with kidney cancer. The fundraiser
featured the musical talents of Everything, Sev, Agents of Good Roots and
Ki:Theory. Despite the rainy weather, there was a huge turn-out and AKA
was able to send a large donation to the Lombardi Cancer Center.
"We pride ourselves on our brotherhood, community service,
accomplishments, and building strong relationships that will last a lifetime,"
said Oleksiak. By Laura Lindsey

Everyone was a winner, everyone was proud of themselves,
everyone was having tun. Words or encouragement, shouts of success,
and great big grins horn ear to ear occurred at the Special Olympics in
Charlottesville held in the spring. Alpha Kappa Psi's 15 student volunteers
took part in organizing and running the festivities for the event. The
amount ot happiness and tears present were so overwhelming from the
participants of all ages with different handicaps.
Everyone proudly wore their hard-earned ribbons while enjoying the
company of their teammates, coaches, and other athletes. Volunteers not
only pro\ided encouragement and enthusiasm to help make the day a memorable
one, but also made new friends. "It was so heartwarming to see the athletes'
eyes light up when they were told that they received first place in their event,"
said Dawn Grammer.
Attitude, Knowledge, Pride, Success. Integrity (AKPSI) were the
fundamental qualities of the brothers of AKT. Students and alumni
demonstrated these traits and incorporated them into their everyday lives for
almost 100 years. Founded in 1904 at New York University, AK4* was the
first professional business fraternity and grew to over 275 college chapters and
90 alumni chapters. Membership across the decades included people from
former US presidents such as Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon to J.C. Penney.
An exciting addition to AKH^ was the newly instituted overseas chapter.
The University of Florida assisted the founding of the chapter at University
of Manchester, England and the founding ot two colonies at neighboring
colleges. The English colonies were installed as chapters in the spring of 2001.
The\- were based on the same principles developed by the 10 founding fathers
and shared the same objectives of all the chapters, to "develop well-trained,
ethical, skilled, resourceful, experienced business leaders.
The fraternity not only "rurtherjed] the individual welfare of it's members,
as stated in their objectives, but worked in the community. Organizations
such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, Bridgewater Retirement Home, and Adopt-A-Highway benefited
from the charitable work of the brothers. By Melissa Bates

The local community was fortunate to have a variety of university organizations dedicated
to spending a significant amount of time volunteering. Alpha Phi Omega's Chi Gamma
Chapter was an example of such an organization whose members committed themselves exclusive!)' to
serving the community in all capacities. The brotherhood performed more than 1 000 hours of service
per semester within the university and surrounding areas.
Alpha Phi Omega's National Service Week, held in November, was a week hill ol events that
encompassed the spirit of die national service fraternity's mission and the purpose for which it was
founded. The dieme, "Serving the Leaders of the 21st Century" summed up the direction the national
office hoped to promote for the event. "National Service Week gets us out into the community to do
projects in conjunction with the projects we do regularly throughout the year," said senior. Vice
President of Service Rebecca Heitfield.
One of the unique events in National Service Week was the "Appreciate A Professor Program."
The "Appreciate a Professor Program" encouraged students to fill out a card for a faculty member that
deserved their acknowledgment. "We wanted to give students an opportunity to recognize their professors
which is not typically offered," said sophomore Lauren Larkin.
In collaboration with the local police department the brodters of A<t>Q held a child identification
program at the Valley Mall. Parents stopped at tables so police officers could take current photos and
fingerprints of their children. These pictures would serve as identification in case of future emergencies.
AOQ brothers organized a Fall Festival party through the United Mediodist Wesley Foundation
inviting Russian and Hispanic children to join in a day of arts and crafts, face painting, and food. The
week drew to a close with Fall Festival parties at the Mercy House, a Salvation Army gift-wrapping
event for the holidays and a blood drive ar Godwin gymnasium. By Adriana Jouvanis

Stopping at each hole, the children of Big Brothers Big Sisters were offered
rewards from a cast of colorful costumed ladies. There were some cats at hole
wo. a clown at hole three, a bumble bee buzzing around hole 10, and a couple of witches
flying around hole 1 1. "We're having a bewitching time, and we hope the kids are as
well," exclaimed freshman, Lauren Barringer, one of two witches. The event marked
the first year of the Halloween mini-golf annual event sponsored by Alpha Phi and Big
Brothers Big Sisters.
Along with community service events, A<t> sponsored a series of fundraisers to raise
awareness and money for their national philanthropy. Cardiac Care. Last year, A<t> was
named the number one fundraising sorority of the year. "Our hard work, sisterhood,
and Aphiasco were the drhing forces behind this award," said sophomore Emily Goodman.
Their main fundraiser, Aphiasco, brought in the most proceeds and the most
entertainment of all their fundraisers. Held the week of Valentines Day, Aphiasco consisted
of a Mr. and Ms. Heartthrob competition on the Commons. On Wednesday the
heartthrobs were locked in jail hoping to raise at least S 1 0 to get out. Students paid
S 1 to have them locked up. Also durig .Aphiasco, the community was imited to participate
in the blood drive and pick up literature on Cardiac Care. Saturday's 5K run/walk
culminated the week-long Aphiasco. "Raising money for Cardiac Care during Aphiasco
is great because it's an event that all the Greek community participates in and supports,"
said senior Meredith Scott.
The sisters of A<E> planned their first annual fashion show date raffle, involving the
whole Greek communitv. The Greeks took center stage on the catwalk modeling the
clothes and themselves as dream dates for luck)' audience members. The Cardiac Care
unit of Rockingham Memorial Hospital was the direct recipient of the money the}' raised
In the midst of community service and fundraising, the sisters found time to plan
two semi-formals, a formal and numerous mixers during the year. The sisters went out
looking their best and came back with lasting memories to reflect upon. By Adruirui joavanis

ALPHA PSI
Members of the honor fraternity Alpha Psi Omega sought to recognize, cell
promote their commitment to the performing arts in the community. AH'Q became a
creative outlet for students yearning to excel in theatre and alternate areas of the performing arts. Students
with a strong history in any aspect of the performing arts were encouraged to apply for membership
to A^PQ. "We're hoping to increase our membership and better represent the Theatre & Dance program,"
said senior, President Samantha Birchett.
The Alpha Gamma Theta chapter of A*P£2 was founded in 1997 by alumni Grant Jewett. A
group of students traveled to the Virginia Theatre Association Conference in 1 996, an event in which
Virginia high school students exhbited their work. Jewett and his fellow students returned with
aspirations to form a university chapter. Within five months, Jewett and four others began the Alpha
Gamma Theta chapter of A*P£2.
The Theatre and Dance faculty looked to A*FQ for assistance in coordinating and running the
school's auditions for potential freshman talent. A*PQ was a dependable resource for the department
in the past years. Their assistance reached beyond the university and into local public schools. Leah
Kirkpatrick, a brother, directed "Of Mice and Mozart" at Keezletown Elementary with the help of President
Paul Ftydrychowski. The brothers spent numerous hours widiin the university's performing art productions
and extending their talents into the community. By Adriana Jouvanis

Alpha Sigma Alpha was established in 1901 by a group of women
at Longwood College. Since their establishment, AZA expanded
to include colleges throughout the United States. The primary purpose of
the sorority was to maintain the goals of their founders. These four goals
fell into the categories of intellectual, physical, social and spiritual develop-
ment. Through all of their activities, the objectives of their founders were
put first.
Sister Jacki Betts described the 170 sisters ol AEA, saying "the members
of AXA are unique from the members of other organizations on campus
because of our traditions and the awesome sisterhood we've built." AZA
annual events included Rock-a-Thon, a fundraiser for the S. June Smith
Center for physically and mentally handicapped children. Betts described the
Rock-a-Thon as an event that lasted two full days in which "the sisters 'rock'
around the clock in hopes of raising funds for the physically challenged children."
Another event AZA sponsored was Alcohol Safety Awareness Week,
an event that hoped to raise the level of alcohol safety on campus. Over the
week, the sisters made efforts to notify the public about the degree to which
students abuse alcohol on campus, handing out statistical information on
The Commons. They also brought a Fairfax County judge to the university
to speak about the legal consequences of abusing alcohol.
ASA also participated in Adopt-a- Highway, Trick-or- Treat for Cans
as well as activities with the Harrisonburg branch of the Boys and Girls
Club. Through these activities, the members of AZA served as positive role
models tor their sisters and the entire student body. By Victoria Leavelle

The Student Athletic Trainers Association existed, according to their constitution, "to
promote the profession of athletic training to the students of JMU and the community."
Their focus was to create athletic trainers that were knowledgeable and well-equipped for their future
careers. The organziation's funds were allocated toward professional development, such as attending
educational athletic conferences nationwide. "As athletic trainers, we go to national and regional
conventions in order to continue our education outside of JMU. Last year we were able to send 12
people to the national convention of 10,000 members, and numerous health care professionals
speaking on many educational topics related to the profession," said President Steve Denhup.
The organization was established in the 1 980s as the Sports Medicine Club, but became die Student
Athletic Trainer's Association in 1995 with the formation of a formal constitution. What used to be
students with a common major uniting solely for the sake of bonding expanded to become a formal
student organization undertaking numerous school-related and community projects. "It used to be
ust a group of athletic trainers getting together. Now its a lot more organized and we can get a lot
more done." said Denhup. "This year we've taken it a step further and done a lot more than we have
in the past with many community projects that are in the works."
Their friendships went deeper than the required assignments. "We're like a family. We travel a
lot and our 'weekends' are late nights and early mornings," said Denhup. Members of the group hung
out, memorized facts for the same tests, and missed the same amount of sleep, all in an effort to
prepare for their careers.
True professionals dedicated to their organization, the world could look forward to many well-
prepared and hard-working athletic trainers in the future. By Becca Wortbington

The Psi chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was founded at the
university in 1944 and in 2000, it was the largest AST chapter in
the nation. True to its purpose, the sorority committed themselves
to promoting the ethical, cultural and social development of
its members.
Upholding their commitment to the university and the
community, AST participated in social and local activities that
promoted teambuilding and friendship and strengthened their
presence in the area. The sisters loved to show their spirit as well,
organizing mixers and parties with other Greek organizations.
The sorority was very active in the community, participating
in several fundraisers to promote AIDS awareness. Their largest
event was the Harrisonburg AIDS Walk held in the spring. The
event drew about 500 students and community members and
raised $6,000 for Camp Heartland and the Valley AIDS Network.
Other AST service projects included Adopt- A-Grandparent,
where sisters visited an elderly person in the Harrisonburg commu-
nity and spent time with them. They also raised money for
Multiple Sclerosis and participated in the Walk-a-thon held on
campus in the fall.
"I think we stand out in that we are a very diverse sorority,"
said Philanthropy Chair Stacey Brownstein. "We have members
who belong to almost every organization on campus. Everyone
is really themselves and it brings a lot to the group."
The sisters of AST drew on their diversity and friendship to
benefit each other and the community through volunteering and
sisterhood activities. By Katie Russo and Laura Lindsey

/' ^ iving students the opportunity to worship God, fellowship with other Christians, and
vj grow in their faith, the Baptist Student Union (BSU) was an organization whose purpo
was to spread the love of Jesus Christ through campus and in the Harrisonburg community.
"As a college student it is easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing," said Laura Rumbley.
"In such an environment it is helpful to have people around to hold you accountable for your actions
and I feel that the Lord has gready blessed me with the friends that I have come to know through my
involvement with BSU."
A typical group meeting on Thursday night was filled with songs of praise, games, and speakers.
Smaller groups, known as family groups, met once a week as well. Other weekly activities included
community service projects such as visits to different "outcast" communities just as Christ did. Those
communities included the Camelot Nursing Home, Abraxis House Ministry (a juvenile detention
facility), and a migrant farm in Broadway (Migrant Ministry).
"We attempt to share our lives with others in a non-imposing way in which others can understand
our faith without making them feel uncomfortable," said President Scott Kelly.
As a state organization, there were many opportunities lor students to serve and be served, according
to senior Beth Sellers. Her favorite, however, was the Summer Missions Program that gave them opportunities
to participate in events such as an international road quest (based on MTV's Road Rules), a traveling
children's team, project Lazarus (AIDS ministry) in New Orleans, and a short-term trip to Cuba.
"Initially I became interested in BSU because I attended a Baptist church in my hometown," said
Katie Thomas. "Although it's not immune to the normal difficulties that effect any other group, it is
a place where I can worship God with my friends, get fed spiritually, and have fun. It's like a home that's
always open." By Rachelle Thompson

Originally founded in 1971 by students who were interested in
the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the club re-evaluated its
purpose and eventually became the Asian Student Union. The purpose of
the new organization was to promote and educate die community about Asian
cultures. President Coleen Santa Ana said that an additional purpose of the
organization was to "serve as an outlet for cultural exchange."
As a way of educating the community about the various Asian cultures
represented in the student body. ASU organized a series of events called
"A Passport to Asia." The events included in the passport were a free
showing of Anna and the King, an authentic Asian dinner, a ("acuity student
dinnet and, a guest speaker who discussed issues of importance to the Asian
American culture.
The highlight or "A Passport of Asia" came in an event aptly named
"Egg Drop Soup: A Melting Pot of Asia." In this showcase of societies,
several distinct Asian cultures were described through various skits and
performances. In one traditional Filipino dance called Tinikling, students
used bamboo sticks to imitate the Tinikling bird trying to escape a trap.
According to Santa Ana, the purpose of "Egg Drop Soup" was to show
"how each Asian culture is distinct and has its own unique aspects." Santa
Ana readily admited'many people think all Asians are the same, when
that just isn't the case. The purpose of A Passport to Asia is to open the
eyes of the community."
Through its co-sponsorship of career planning events with organizations
such as Students for Minority Outreach and the Black Student Alliance,
ASU consistently proved its dedication to opening the eyes of the community
to the Asian cultures surrounding them. One event at a time, ASU strove
to increase the cultural awareness. By Victoria Leavelle

As their Wednesday night meeting began, members of the Black Student Alliance
gathered in die Airport Lounge to discuss the current topics on the agenda. At this particular
meeting, BSA worked on putting their ideas together for the Parents Appreciation Night they hosted
on Parent's Weekend. The program, held in The Loft was filled with food, games, music, fellowship
and fun. Parents and students contributed the dinners that competed for best dish. Later, eight students
and parents played "Who Knows Their Child Best" followed by an award ceremony where some of
the families won superlatives such as "Quietest Family," "Most Look- Alike", "Ms. Fly Diva," and
"Family Who Traveled the Farthest".
In addition to Parent's Appreciation Night, at the beginning of the year, Black Student Allia
held a "Welcome Back" pool party for students and incoming freshmen. The organization also co-sponsored a
Kwanzaa celebration with the Peer Mentor Program and the Center for Multicultural and International
Student Services.
The organization started over 20 years ago as a type of student government for multicultural
organizations. Its primary purpose expanded to focus on promoting unity among other multicultural
organizations and diversity among the JMU community. "BSA has shown me the importance of diversity
among the JMU community and the importance of unity among other organizations," said Lamont
Finn, president.
They also aimed to retain students of color at the university through social events, educational speakers,
and community service.
Sophomore Danielle Baynes said, "I like BSA because it is an organization in which every member's
opinions and ideas count. There is such a laid-back atmosphere and still everything that needs to be
handled, is handled." With over 50 members, BSA offered minority students a chance to be active
and make a difference in the minority community. By Rachelle Thompson

For five days in mid- March ol 2000, 1 1 staff members traveled to
the Big Apple to participate in the Columbia Scholastic Press
Association and College Media Advisers journalism convention. The staff
came home with the prestigious Cold Crown Award for the 1999 Bluestone,
a distinction awarded to only the top five of the 500 books submitted by
schools across the nation.
Riding high on their success, the 2001 staff strove to meet and exceed
the standards set by previous years. Attending the Kansas City Yearbook
Convention in late July, four staff members began the process of picking a
theme and a design concept for the new book. The weekend before classes
began, editors treated the staff to an orientation, passing out new manuals
created by former Editor in Chief Leah Bailey that introduced everyone
to their jobs and the particulars of the publication.
Editor in Cheif Aimee Costello said, "the begining of the year was
really crazy for us with the distribution of last year's books, taking class
portraits earlier and having an October deadline. However, the staff really
pulled together and we worked really hard to stay on top of things." Even
though the book came out in the fall instead of the spring, the extra time
needed to complete the publication paid off when the book took home First
Place in the Best of Show Competition at the College Media Convention
in Washington, D.C. November 8-12, yet another accolade for the staff.
While deadlines and the challenge to cover almost every aspect of campus
kept the dedicated staff busy, they managed to slip in elements of fun such
as pizza dinners, staff parties and scavenger hunts. With most of their work
completed by February, they set out to prepare the new editors to follow
in their footsteps with another award-winning publication. Costello added,
"after many late nights of listening to rowdy disc jockeys from WXJM,
too much fast food and Kit Kats, the book is finally finished and looks
great. The staff really worked hard this year and I am so proud of everyone."

Brothers of a New Direction (BOND), a social and civic organization designed to promote
unity among men on campus, reached its goals through community, academic enrichment and
positive fellowship.
Its goals as an organization were to provide a stronghold for males on campus, promote campus-wide
unity, leadership, scholarship and brodrerhood.
Members enjoyed the different aspects of the organization. "Simply put, BOND is an organization
where males can go and express their feelings on being a minority at James Madison University, or simply
bond" said senior David Cherry. "In the process, we also do community service, fundraisers, and have
social events with that money [made from profits going] to charities in the Harrisonburg areas."
Enjoying its 10th year at the university, BOND continued serving the community. "Major
community service activities comes from visiting the Boys and Girls Club," said President Douglas
Owens. "Our major fundraiser comes from our male/female auction party called 'Chocolate City'." The
profits made from the event were split between two charities.
Another annual event was female appreciation week during the second semester. The event attracted
a large crowd the last three years, according to Owens.
Approximately 25 members of the organization worked together to continue the organization's
success constant. "Our organization is run by our own members and not [just] the executive board," said
Owens. "We have goals and traditions we follow but everything we do comes from our members."
Members joined the group because of what the organization brought to the JMU community. "I
joined BOND because I felt as though it was a positive organization, that would help men on campus,"
said senior Tyson Brown.
The organization's membership was open to all university men. "BOND is not just for minority
males, all males are welcome," said Cherry. By James David

"W;
e began in the spring of '97 with some cardboard and a
boom box," said Pesident Christopher Martin. Linoleum
squares and a professional sound system eventually replaced the cardboard
arid boom box. As the club grew from five members to 50 in just three
years, the talent increased, too. The club combined the talents of DJs, MCs,
and breakdance artists, better known as b-boys and b-girls. Each added a
new dimension to the dance moves, music, and attitude of the group.
The strong backing of its new membership allowed the club to host the
first annual Mid-Atlantic B-Boy Competition, "Circles," in April 2000.
Breakdancing crews from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. traveled
to compete in front of alumni breakdancers and representatives from Parlay
Productions. "We brought really great b-boys to the school which I'm sure
many people here haven't been exposed to," said junior, DJ Liaison Hill Bechder.
Proud of their biannual fundraiser, "Breaking on the Commons," the
group continued to support the Blue Ridge chapter of the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society since their formation as a club. The members agreed to
continue the cause out of respect for founder and alumni Josh Rosenthal
who began the tradition three years ago after a family member was diagnosed
with MS. The club has since raised over $700 and kept with the tradition
of exhibiting their moves and playing their tunes on the Wednesday of finals
week to draw donations and awareness for MS.
Through dance, music, and social interaction, the dynamic members
found their niche in the community, establishing a basis to promote their
talents while endorsing their local charity. By Adriana Jouviviis

In it's 78th year, The Breeze was staffed by approximately 1 50 students, including 20 editors.
The paper was a biweekly publication diat produced 52 issues a year-. Students read The Breeze
weekly for such regular features as the police log while others looked for their entertainment in die
student/faculty comment section called "Darts and Pats" featured in the opinion section.
The Breeze also became the home of the new independent-written insert, "TURF which received
much attention in its controversial debut. No matter what students looked for, the Breeze had a little
something for everyone.
The newspaper owed its success to the goals they set forth for each staff member. Editor-in-Chief
Gina Montefusco believed students wanted a staff whose goal was "to report all relevant news in an
unbiased way that reflected campus activities." Students trusted The Breeze to provide them with a
reliable source of information about events going on around campus. The dedication shown by the staff
was the reason tor such strong student support.
The Breeze helped inform die campus about such important university events as Homecoming
weekend, helping to make it a success. The newspaper also covered stories about incidents such as the
Forest Hills "riot."
When asked about future plans for the publication, Montefusco said she wanted to "revamp die website
and increase involvement." The Breeze gave students a voice as well as an oudet for their writing skills
and Montefusco hoped this practice would continue. Throughout it's 78 years The Breeze provided
information vital to die community and made it their goal to continue to do so in future years. By Sean Barnes

The mission of the Catholic Campus Ministry (CCM) was as set
in stone as the Ten Commandments that it followed. "Recognizing
and responding to our call within the universal Catholic faith, we come
together as a community centered on the experience of Christ, serving God
through our actions while bearing witness to others as we grow in our awareness
and understanding of our relationship with Christ." Members of the group
carried this out by conducting mass every Sunday at 1 1:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. in the PC Ballroom, and evening prayer, in addition to the social events
it sponsored each semester.
Matt Stephan, special events chair of the ministry, said that most of the
events were student-run, including mass. "Students are the ushers, the Eucharistic
ministers, the readers. Being totally led by the students has a nice appeal to
it," he said. The other events organized and led by members of CCM included
everything from game nights to sporting events to fundraising through T-shirt
sales and care packages.
Student Assistant Grace Love said, "The thing that most people come
to are the semi-formals that happen twice a year, but participation varies with
the activities." Some of the activities with larger turn-outs included horseback
riding, pumpkin-picking, a field-trip to an Orioles game and ice skating. By
far, one of the biggest events CCM held was the annual Thanksgiving Supper.
Stephan said, "It's a huge interfaith supper for all the campus ministries. We
invite everyone to come and it's a huge Thanksgiving meal for all of us to
come together and break bread."
When describing the typical turnout of such events, Stephan agreed that
it varied from event to event. "It's always kind of up in the air until people
show up," he said. But Love insists that the amount of people is never important.
What matters was that they spread out and affected people in the community.
"Every year different people come out to every event," she said, "so you can
tell that we are really branching out to many interests." By Becca Worthington

Merengue, salsa and bachata were the romantic dances that
tantalized onlookers, enticing them to learn the footwork and
hip movements of each dance. Club Latino continued to fulfill the desires
of students to learn the popular dances of Latin America through Salsarengue.
The event originated in the Fall of 1995 as a way of advertising the newly
formed Club Latino. Members booked die former Highlands room in Warren
Hall and offered free Latin dance lessons. The crowds grew larger each semester,
as did the club.
In 1 997, the club made the decision to move the lessons to PC Ballroom
and increase the size of the program. Alumnus Melissa Cruz invented the
name Salsarengue, combining two popular Latin dances. The first part of
the name came from the dance, the salsa, which originated in Puerto Rico
and Cuba and the latter part of the name, merengue, originated in the
Dominican Republic. The name stuck, giving the club a signature event that
quickly became their most successful program.
Latin culture gained popularity in mainstream culture from the emergence
of pop celebrities Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony adding
to the motivation to keep up with culture and learn the sexy Latin dances.
"Without Salsarengue I don't think the students would be exposed firsthand
to the music or the dancing of so many Latin cultures," said sophomore
Juan Kuilan.
As the club evolved, the members took the Latin lessons on the road as
a fundraising program. They went to dorms to teach dance lessons for donations.
Salsatengue continued once a semester and it too became a fundraiser. As
money accumulated, the club finally had enough to plan a banquet for a
charity called Celebracfon Latina in 1 999. The proceeds from the banquet
went to charities such as Migrant Education in Harrisonburg and the Red
Cross for the victims of Hurricane Mitch and the Venezuelan flood victims.
"There's more involvement in Salsarengue today and it will continue
to be an annual event that celebrates one pan of Latin culture," senior, President
Maggie Ortiz said. The club brought awareness to the Latin culture and
reminded people that it was a growing presence in society both nationally
and locally. By Adriana Jouvanis

CANTERBURY EPISCOPAL
Canterbury Episcopal Ministry (CEM) provided students and faculty with a place to worship,
serve and fellowship diroughour the year. The faith and dedication of its members brought the
group of 35 people together while also providing a positive and welcoming Christian atmosphere for
students and members of the Harrisonburg community.
President Karen Hutcherson said, "We love to go into die community to help those who are less fortunate
than us. In God's spirit, we want them to know we care." Members of the Canterbury Episcopal
Ministry also fellowshipped with students from Eastern Mennonite University, Blue Ridge Community
College and other nearby schools.
Formed in the early 1990s, members of CEM took pride in their family-like atmosphere and strong
bond that motivated them to reach out to others. One way members served the community was through
the home-cooked meals they prepared after every Sunday church service. The meals gave members a
chance to relax and enjoy each other's company in a welcoming Christian atmosphere.
Another CEM tradition that members enjoyed was decorating their home for Christmas. The
beautiful lights on their house were displayed as an example of the glowing spirit and testimony in each
member. Members sang carols at the nursing home and around the community. CEM also adopted a
family over Christmas and brought them presents.
Members served the community by making bagged lunches for the homeless and visiting the elderly
in local nursing homes. "Our true motivation is doing what we believe is God's spirit," said Hutcherson.
Through their work together, the members learned the value of teamwork and trust through group
building activities during the semester. The end-of-the-year picnic brought satisfaction as another successful
semester came to a close. By Laura Lindsey

What is it that vou believe in? How can I get involved in our
country's political system? How can I find out about the issues
that affect me? What happened with the election in Florida? Questions like
these made politics a puzzling subject for college students.
Luckily, the College Democrats were available to answer their questions.
A chartered member of the Virginia Young Democrats, the goal of the club
was to increase awareness of democratic politics, both on campus and in
the Harrisonburg community. Encouragement of participation in local, state
and national elections, specifically through support of the Democratic Part}',
was a main focus of the group.
Last (all, the organization was asked by the Virginia Democratic Party
to attend the Kennedy-King dinner in Northern Virginia. There they met
President Bill Clinton. Eight members of the club attended, including President
Jaycee Stevens. "Attending the Kennedy-King dinner stands out as one of
the most memorable things our club has ever done," said Stevens.
Along with being a strong force of democracy on campus, the group
also increased awareness about local issues, the importance of voting and
political platforms. Members of the College Democrats helped at the local
Democratic headquarters and with the polls for the presidential election.
Last year's election set precedents in the election process. Student awareness
about the substantial impact of politics on society increased because of the
intricacies of the 2000 election process.
"Even if you don't believe in every single thing that the Democratic Party
has done, we are representing the ideals and beliefs that the party stands for,"
said Stevens. The organization found its members mainly through word
of mouth and through political events on campus. Students who were
interested in the Democratic Party and the ways in which it works were
welcomed to join the group. "We don't really recruit members, usually people
just hear about us through word of mouth," said Stevens. By Christina Olson

CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL
The 65 members of the Contemporary Gospel Singers spread the word and love of God
under the direction of Telly Tucker. Their theme scripture was "releasing the past, restoring
souls, renewing minds" based on Isaiah 65:17-18. Men and Women practiced every Tuesday night
and welcomed all those who wanted to join them. Performing around town and campus was fun for
the members but not a requirement. Some students sang to praise and escape the pressures of school. "I
love to sing, and it's a real stress reliever," said senior Kelly Clingempeel.
A favorite event of the group was anniversary weekend in March. The weekend celebrated the
group's founding date and existence. "Anniversary Weekend celebrates the group's existance and devotes
a whole weekend to celebrating God," said Clingempeel. The singers enjoyed themselves while
participating in voice workshops and performing for their parents and peers. The group fellowshipped
together during the weekend's culminating event, University Sunday, where members attended a church
service on campus and performed later that afternoon for their parents and friends.
During parent's weekend CGS dedicated dieir annual concert to the memory of Demetric Walker, a
former member who passed away during the summer. The group created a scholarship in his name
to honor him. One of the singers favorite events was their anniversary weekend in March. Anniversary
Weekend celebrated the groups founding date and existance. "Anniversary Weekend celebrates the group's
existance and devotes a whole weekend to celebrating God," said Clingempeel. The singers enjoyed
rhemselves the entire weekend while hanging out, participating in voice workshops, and performing
for their parents and peers.

According to members of Dance Theatre, much more effort went
into a Dance Theatre performance than it seemed. The group spent
countless hours rehearsing in preparation for each of their performances.
Typically, the members spent 6-10 hours a week on their toes, but it got
tar more strenuous than that when practice hours were increased in preparation
for a concert. "Sometimes we have residencies, which means that there is
a guest choreographer who comes in and works with us from 3-10:00 p.m.
every day," said President Courtney Hand. All of this preparation was just
one example of the dedication members of Dance Theatre had to their art.
When it came to their performances, they weren't any less time consuming
than the practices. The Contemporary Dance Ensemble performed every
spring and the Virginia Repertory Dance Company performed in the fall.
Both performances were in Latimer-ShaefFer in Duke Hall. On top of that,
twice a semester the members of Dance Theatre coordinated productions
in the studio theatre of Godwin Hall that were student-directed, student-
choreographed and student-produced.
Outside of numerous performances year-round, the Dance Theatre also
performed outreach events and fundraisers as a way of interacting with the
community. Hand said, "We do community outreach programs for groups
like the Association for Retarded Citizens where we do creative movement.
We do different things to get people moving and interacting a few times a
semester." The Dance Theatre group also held workshops on a regular basis
as a way of sharing various techniques from jazz to hip-hop to massage skills.
The members of Dance Theatre formed an incredibly strong bond as
a result of their performances and outside activities. "Dance is such a physical
thing," said Hand. "We're always there, and it's not like we're in class working
together on a paper. Moving together is a lot more organic than writing a
paper. It creates much more intimate friendships. It becomes something
where those people understand you best, because people who don't dance
won't understand that lifestyle." By Becca Worthington

Wouldn't you love to find your perfect match? How about having your choice of over 30
men/women with the ability to narrow your choices down to the perfect fit? Delta Chi
made the dreams of single students come true by organizing and hosting a spin-off of the popular
game show "Singled Out," creating "The Delta Dating Game." Co-hosted by Tri-Delta, the show took
place in Grafton-Stovall, which was packed full of screaming friends and excited contestants. The
dating pool paraded on stage performing such hilarious acts as giving massages to the Big Baby, singing,
doing the limbo, and hula-hooping, all to impress the single contestant looking for a match.
Proceeds from die performance benefited Delta Chi's main philanthropy, St. Jude's Children's
Hospital. A grand total of over $2,000 was raised from the event and donated to foster research and
treatment of children widi cancer.
Nationally founded in 1890 as a law fraternity, brothers believed that their fraternity must "promote
friendship, develop character, advance justice, and assist in the acquisition of a sound education."
Their service activities included visiting the Boys and Girls Club, organizing registration for the MS
Walk, participating in the homecoming parade, representing students through Student Government
Association, and showing support in die AIDS Walk.
Recreational activities varied from competing in intramural sports to membership in InterVarsiry,
Office of Residence Life, Students for a Free Tibet, Breakdancing Club and Cadets. AX Executive
Director, Ray Galbreth described the fraternity as an, "opportunity to learn by doing, rather than
having things handed to you or done for you. We are called a social fraternity not because we go to
patties but, rather, because we are supposed to be preparing our members for life in society." By Melissa Bates

The Gamma Tau chapter of Delta Delta Delta established in
1998 was the newest and largest sorority on campus with 175
members. The sisters accredited their numbers to the strength or their sisterhood.
"We are very diverse and very involved women so we draw in all different
kinds of women," said senior Amy Tomanio, president.
One of the purposes of AAA was to develop each member into a more
womanly character. This was accomplished by spending time with each
other while learning to be giving of themselves. The members participated
in events like "Spa Night" where the sisters served one another while having
fun. "Tri-Delta nutures us and develops us into women and leaders," said
senior Beth Wilkin, vice president of chapter development. "Tri-Delta has
provided lots of opportunities for us to grow in those ways."
One such opportunity was the AAA community service project. Kid's
Cafe at the Boys and Girls Club. At least eight sisters went every Wednesday
to serve dinner to under-privileged children. "It was a great sisterhood activity
and we all felt like we'd given something back to our surrounding community,"
said Tomanio.
The sisters rallied their time and efforts again in March for the Delta
Dating Game to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
The fundraiser, based on the popular MTV show "Singled Out," raised
$1,500 for the hospital.
A favorite activity for the sisters was visiting their adopted grandmother,
Ruth at White Birch Retirement Home. "Everyone loves visiting with her
as much as she loves visiting with us," said Tomanio. "It rekindles our sisterhood
to be around Ruth, and it's a great way to give back to one of our older
sisters," said Tomanio.
The sisters served the community and each other through community
service and sisterhood activities. Just like their sister Ruth, they wanted to
continue the great tradition of AAA. By Laura Lindsey

The sisters oi Delta Gamma got involved on campus and in the
community through their philanthropy and sisterhood activities.
Members ol \l served their national philanthropy. Sen ice lor Sight, through
their annual fundraiser Anchor Splash, reading tor the Valley Voice, volunteering
at the Staunton School lor the Deal and Blind, and screening children for
visual impairment.
"Service for Sight is a very important part of AI~. It unites us with other
ATs across the country, whether collegiates or alumni," said senior Meredith
McRoberts, president. During the week-long Anchor Splash fundraiser in
October, fraternities and sororities competed in volleyball, basketball, "best
eyes" penny wars on the Commons, and everyone's favorite, the talent show
competition. AI~ donated $2,000 which was divided nationally and locally
to organizations related to Service lor Sight.
"Anchor Splash was a wonderful experience to get together, have fun and
at the same time help out a great cause," said junior Leah Cohen. Both semesters,
the group Prevent Blindness Virginia held clinics and certified sisters to
screen children for visual impairments.
Ar also promoted their sisterhood through ritual activities, meetings
and chapter retreats. During the spring, the chapter went to Northern Virginia
to relax and build their sisterhood. They played sports, participated in team
building activities and hung out with one another.
Scholarship was highly valued in AT. They provided study-buddy lists,
study hours and hosted a scholarship brunch celebrating those sisters who
excelled in academics.
Ar united their time and spirit to raise funds and awareness for Service
for Sight while also promoting sisterhood and scholarship throughout the
year. By Laura Lindsey

elta Epsilon Chi prepared its members for their future business careers through practical
experience and application. AEX was the college equivalent of the high school business
club DECA, die association of marketing students. A large number of. freshmen who had been active
in DECA joined the group, helping membership increase from five to 85.
The new organization came together to compete in business simulations, case studies and prepared
business situation competitions. Members sold cookies in die lobby of Zane Showker twice a week
for a month to raise funds to send members to competitions. Their fundraising efforts culminated
in the creation of the first annual scholarship of $500 awarded to in-state high school seniors.
AEX hosted the state conference in Febmray for two days because they were the most established
chapter out of all Virginia universities. The two day competition produced the state representatives
that went on to compete in the national competition.
"Competing in marketing and business competitions will help me a lot in what I want to do in
the future," said junior Allison Miracco, treasurer. AEX also partenered with Zeta Tau Alpha for the
first annual Dance-a-thon benefiting the Association of Retarded Citizens.
The members gained valuable business experience through marketing the fundraiser using the "All
Together One" advertising strategy. The members of AEX gained valuable business experience through

As students passed through the Commons they could not help
but notice the huge wooden seesaw that students were sitting on.
Those students were the brothers of the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity and they
were not merely plaving around. For an entire week, each of the brothers
of the lota Kappa chapter of A2XI took shifts in the seesaw-a-thon they
held every fall in honor of Michael Matthew Brown. Brown, a brother of
AZn, died of leukemia in 1991.
The brothers held their 8dt annual Michael Brown Seesaw-a-thon during
the fall. "We raise money through donations to give a scholarship to a student
in the College of Business who holds the same ideals as Michael Matthew
Brown," said Brooke Hansell, vice president for pledge education. "This
year we have decided to take a portion ot the money raised to donate to cancer
research in Brown's name."
AXn also participated in an event tor the fight against cancer. Held
in the spring, the 5K 4 The Cure race raised money to benefit the American
Cancer Society.
Founded on April 21,1974 at Madison College, AZn was a business
fraternity organized to foster the study of business in the university, to encourage
scholarship, social activity, and the association of students for the mutual
advancement by research and practice.
"Professionally, AXIl has helped me because I have advanced on job
interviews and have had good job opportunities," says Justin Luecking. "Socially, I
have made life-long friends. The benefits gained from being a member of the
fraternity exemplified its motto "Work hard, play hard." By Rachelle Thompson

The Equestrian Club had the distinction of being the only organization which dealt
directly with animals. The coed club was only three years old and already in it's second
year of competition in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (1HSA). In the 1999-2000 season,
(their first year competing), the group won fourth place in the region among eleven other schools.
"Competitions are difficult because when you go to other schools to compete, you have to use
their horses, which you are unfamiliar with riding," said senior, Vice President Kacey Chilton. Despite
these difficulties, the Equestrian Team persevered in its competitions.
Regional distinctions were not only awarded at the team level but also to several individuals. If
a team member accumulated a high number of points in the competitions throughout the year, he
or she became elligible to compete at the regional level. Team members Elizabeth Bearer, Maria Sinopoli,
Jennifer Milligan, and Chilton competed in the regional championships. Competitions were held
throughout the year and each team in the region had the opportunity to host one of die 10 competitions
during the year.
In addition to competitions, die club also held non-equestrian-related service events. They started
a relationship with the Harrisonburg Boys and Girls Club, hosting a halloween party in October
and planned several other events with the group.
In its third year, the organization continued to establish itself in the community and build its
skills within the competitive region while giving even the inexperienced students the opportunity to
express appreciation for equestrian sports. By Katie Russo

111 their third year making a cappella music together, the men ol
Exit 245 took their talented voices around the region performing
on college campuses and at high schools. "We're like ambassadors. Touring
allows us to get the schools name out there, said junior, Music Director
Matt Fraker.
Exit 245 traveled in caravans to area campuses in Virginia such as the
University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, William & Mary and Mary Baldwin
College. In October, Exit 245 received an invitation to perform at an a cappella
concert sponsored by a female a cappella group from the University of Pittsburg,
which was their furthest gig from the university. The concert drew in nearly
150 people and brought together a cappella groups from surrounding
areas of Pennsylvania. Before Exit 245 sang, they warmed up with frisbee toss.
"We're obsessed with frisbee. We bring one everywhere we go and it throw
it around wherever and whenever we get a chance," said junior. Public
Relations Manager Jason Mannix.
The tradition of tossing a frisbee back and forth into the crowd originated
during a performance at Virginia Tech. Ever since that concert, Exit 245 has
kept a running total of consecutive completed darows at each show. "Its crazy
to see the students diving and sacrificing themselves to catch the frisbee for
the sake of saving their reputations in front of everyone," said Mannix.
Between tours Exit 245 found time to record their second CD at a
recording studio in downtown Richmond. The amount of time spent in the
studio allowed for some play in between songs. The sixteen members crammed
themselves into a small recording studio and managed to amuse themselves
with competitive games of Taboo and Trivial Pursuit. The heated games caused
sudden outbursts that made it onto some tracks forcing the members to rerecord
their songs without the background noise.
The group spent some extra time in the Richmond area performing at
several local high schools and middle schools. To the members of Exit 245,
these shows meant more than extra rehearsal time outside the studio, "It's
important to educate the young grade school guys that singing is okay, it's
cool," Fraker said.
As ambassadors and educators for the university, Exit 245 shared the beauty
of a cappella music beyond the community and continued to entertain local
audiences with their love of singing. By Adrianna Jouvanis

ETA SIGMA
Eta Sigma Gamma (HZT) served as a health-related service organization for students with
health majors in the College of Integrated Science and Technology. The members of the
group provided health awareness service events to students and to the members of the Harrisonburg
community.
HXT organized several blood drives throughout the year beginning in October. A major event for
HXT was the Health Forum in January. This three-night panel was geared towards those with majors in
the health sciences who were undecided about their specific career choice. Each night, HIT brought
two health professionals including nurse practitioners and therapists into the health sciences audito-
rium to describe their careers and what was involved in their branch of health care. This was the first
forum of its kind. The success of the event led members to plan a second forum in the spring.
"We had a really good turnout last year. On the second and third nights, the auditorium was almost
full," said HXr president Erin Bailey.
As a way of giving back to the Harrisonburg community during die holiday season, HSF held a
three week long toy drive on campus for the Salvation Army. "The great thing about it is that it will
benefit kids right here in the Harrisonburg community," said Bailey.
HXT originated in Muncie, Ind. at Ball State University with the purpose of teaching and
researching health concerns. HIT served as both an aid to those with majors in the health sciences
while also temembering to give back to its community. By Kate Russo

While most people headed inside when the temperature
dropped and the days got shorter, 35 devoted flutists donned
their winter wear and headed into the Harrisonburg community to deliver
holiday cheer. Each year during the holiday season, the Flute Club traveled
in pairs known as "Holiday Duets" to deliver carols as Christmas presents.
Along with the "Holiday Duets," the club held "Flute Club Subs," which led
hungry musicians with busv schedules.
The club was also the proud sponsor ol Pan-o-rama, their weekend
flute festival, held every live years. People of all ages traveled from up and
down the East Coast to attend workshops, hear performances, and socialize
with fellow flutists. In 1999, the club received the Outstanding Educa-
tional Program Award for hosting the festival. Celebrating their 25th
anniversary at the 2000 festival, Pan-o-rama IV, they debuted their new
CD, Sounds and Colors II - the music of Andrew Downes. The festival also
featured the world premiere of "Song of the Eagle," a piece commissioned
specifically for the Flute Club's anniversary.
When Pan-o-rama was not held, the Flute Club sponsored an event
called Flute Fling. During Flute Fling 2001 , the club was proud to have famed
English flutist, Clare Southworth, as its featured performer. She coached
performance classes and also presented a concert. The weekend also offered
many learning experiences for flutists of all levels and abilities.
The Flute Club was established in 1975 in order to enhance knowledge
and appreciation ot the importance of music and the flute. The flutists
were lortunate enough to share their music with many audiences including
The Royal Conservatory in Birmingham England, university students and
faculty, and the Harrisonburg community. By Andrea Flanary

Each semester Gardy Loo provided an artistic outlet and
resource for students who had a variety of talents. Founded in
the spring ol 1 997] issues of the arts magazine were published and distributed
to the student body. Editor Brianne Russell said, "We don't like calling it
a 'literary magazine' because it has art and photography as well as literature.
\\ e trv to make it representative or all the arts at JMU, which is why we
include feature articles on other artistic expression."
Feature articles focused on groups, events, and issues within the artistic
community in an attempt to draw attention to various forms or expression.
All aspects ot the community were crucial to the spirit of the publication.
In the past, feature articles have included everything from a debate on the
National Endowment tor the Arts to the lyrics of a talented D-hall karaoke
singer to an award-winning speaker that the arts magazine sponsored in
the community.
Gardy Loo demonstrated their commitment to the arts annually in
the Gardy-sponsored springtime Arts Week. This event began in response
to the gala celebration that welcomed Dr. Rose as the new president. While
the administration made a big deal about how they were going to change
things, a group of passionate students made a big deai about how the arts
were being neglected. Chrissy Danbury, Arts Week co-chair, said, "The people
who started Arts Week were really concerned that the arts were getting shut
out of the 'new' concept of the university. Afts Week developed from the
need tor people to recognize how important the arts are."
Through the years, the magazine continued to gain popularity. One
thousand copies of each issue were given out but due to an increase in the Gardy
Loo budget, the number was increased to 1,250 for the 2001 issue. The issue size
doubled as a result. As for submissions, Russell said, "There is typically the
same amount of poetry, but in terms of prose and photography we have
gotten a lot more in." Russell believed with the increase in issue size and number,
the popularity of die magazine would most likely continue to rise. "I'm almost
in shock still that people know what it is," Russell said. "When I am going
to a Gardy meeting I always feel compelled to explain, 'It's the arts magazine.'
I get so shocked when people say, 'Yeah, I know. " By Becca Worthington

The Gymnastics Club flipped into competition this year,
for the first time since being established as an official club in 1998.
The years of effort taken to create the club gave both male and female students
the opportunity to become involved in an athletic atmosphere at the
competitive level of gymnastics. The ability of the gymnasts ranged from
beginner to USA Gymnastics Level 10.
Their season started in late fall and went into the spring. The club
competed in competitions at Virginia Tech, Miami of Ohio and Ohio State.
Top performers included senior Peter Batista, junior Lisa Janz, sophomore
Genna Rendino and freshman Tara Greenberg.
Because the team is a club, it had to pay for its own expenses, including
the costs of travel. One way the club helped to raise finances was through
the Multiple Schlerosis Walk. This event not onlv helped increase funds but
their friendships as well. "MS Walk opened a lot of the members eyes to
how prevalent MS is in our society. It was also a great team bonding
experience," said President Lisa Janz.
The roster consisted of nearly 60 students with over 30 students practicing
year round. Most of the members used the club as an opportunity to get
back into the sport after a few years off. The club also offered the opportunity
to compete in a more relaxed atmosphere than the varsity gymnastics team.
"The diversity of people involved is the most exciting aspect of the club,"
said Janz. "We have people from every facet of this university. It's exciting to
be able to bring them all together with the common bond they all share -
gymnastics." By Kristin Unger

The primary goal of the Indian-Pakistani Student Association
(IPSA) was to increase the university's awareness about students
of Indian and Pakistani descent at the university. Hoping to increase campus
diversity, die members participated in programs that would educate the
community about their culture. Senior Saiba Kamal said, "It is my responsibil-
ity as a student of Indian descent to inform the student body about what
my culture has to offer."
Through their participation in events such as "A Passport to Asia,"
sponsored by the Asian Student Union, the members of IPSA showcased
significant aspects of their culture. The show included skits with cultural themes
and a segment on the fashions and tradition.il dress of various Asian countries.
Members of IPSA also performed dances that displayed the cultural
flair of their respective nations. The elegant clothes worn by members of
IPSA in the fashion portion of 'A Passport to Asia" ranged from everyday
apparel to eveningwear.
IPSA also participated in annually co-sponsored activities like World
Jam, an event that allowed an ethnically diverse group of DJs to exhibit their
unique spinning skills to international music. Held in PC Ballroom, World
Jam was just another way the members allowed students of diverse populations
to witness a sampling of what their organizaiton had to offer.
Through its participation in various campus activities, Kamal believed
"IPSA has a positive impact on increasing the awareness of the cultures
represented by its members." By Victoria Leavelle

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT
Although small in number, the International Student Association (ISA) strove to provide a
place for international students to feel welcome and understood on an American college campus.
The members of ISA represented their respective countries with pride, hailing from nations spanning
the globe such as Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, China and represented them with pride.
During weekly meetings held in Taylor Hall, the members of ISA discussed issues that were central
concerns of international students. By participating in events sponsored by other organizations, the
members of ISA promoted their concerns while also maintaining an environment diat was welcoming
to all members of the university's student body.
Events like 'A Passport to Asia," sponsored by the Asian Student Union, provided members of
ISA with an opportunity to teach others about their countries of origin. In conjunction with the Office
of Residence Life, ISA students living in Ashby Hall, the International residence hall, coordinated events
such as cultural dinners for their residents.
In addition to educating the campus community about their organization, ISA held fun activities to
provide its members with a entertaining atmosphere. On the weekend before Halloween, ISA threw a
party for its members. According to President Gruschenka Saraiva, "ISA is committed to uniting the
diversity of our campus and that of the surrounding community." By Victoria Leavelle

KAPPA ALPHA
order
Dieu et les dames. In Latin, these words meant "respect towards
God and women." These were also the words that the 80
members of the Kappa Alpha Order lived by.
KA, rounded in 1865, was a nationwide fraternity. Chartered in 1995,
the university chapter achieved many fine accomplishments including the
Marshall Award in 1999, which honored the most recognized chapter of KA
in the nation. The brothers were also honored with the Chapter of the Year
Award at the 2000 Greek Awards which was based on scholarship, risk manage-
ment, member education, community service and campus involvement.
But what made KA so worthy of all these prestigious honors? "I
think we are a really respectable group of guys. I know and I respect each
and every one of my brothers," said Howie Krasilovsky. This mantra
shined through in the charity events and volunteer work that the KA
brothers performed. One or the largest events was the KA Rose Bowl, a
campus wide philanthropy to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Associa-
tion. The Rose Bowl was a powder puff football tournament along with
other fundraising events held on the Commons.
KA was also heavily involved with Habitat for Humanity and Big
Brothers Big Sisters. The brothers also volunteered at nearby churches
every Saturday helping at the local soup kitchens for the poor. "Every
Saturday, KA brothers are sent to help out. It is something that is just a
part of our weekend now," said Krasilovsky.
Among the most important part of KA, however, was the bond or
brotherhood. "I joined KA because it was very evident that there was a
strong bond of brotherhood. To this day it is the most important thing to
me, far more important than any parties," said Krailovsky. "Having 80
guys I know I can always count on makes college much easier." By

True to their creedo, "Forget about starving . . . Just be an artist,"
the dO brothers of the art and art history fraternity. Kappa Pi
committed themselves to the promotion oi art in the university and the
surrounding community.
"I think the most unique aspect of our organization is that we have a
variety or artists from different areas such as art education, art history, graphic
design and scultpture," said President Laura Lee Gulledge. "Our fraternity
brings the visual arts areas together and is useful to gain feedback from people
in completely different areas. It's also a good way to network in die department."
Brothers offered their artistic services to campus organizations like
Theatre II. painting signs to announce upcoming shows. They also hoped
to give facelifts to the bare walls of university buildings such as Taylor Hall
and Ashby Hall by designing and painting murals. Student art sales, held
every semester and coordinated by Kappa Pi, gave members a chance to make
money from their work.
During portfolio review days at the Corchran School of Art in Washington,
D.C., brothers registered incoming freshmen from all over the country and
promoted the university art department.
One of the most rewarding Kappa Pi projects was their annual "Very
Special Arts Festival" held in the spring. Members hosted approximately 200
special education children and led them in a day of art and dance activities
and music and theatre workshops. "It's great to get them together in one
spot. It makes them feel like they have a sense of control over things when
the\' become involved in art projects," said Gulledge.
When they weren't creating works of art, brothers came together for
social events including the pledge-brother field day. Members participated
in a pie-eating contest, a scavenger hunt, and a pumpkin-carving challenge.
"I think the best pumpkin was a performance piece called 'deadi of a pumpkin.'
We smashed it and danced around it so it was very conceptual," said Gulledge.
Increasing their ranks during the fall, 25 initiates were sworn in at
the home of School of Art and Art History Director, Dr. Cole Welter. By

appa Kappa Psi, the coed National Honorary Band Service Fraternity, maintained an
outstanding brotherhood with 42 members. The closeness began at induction, a nine-week
process during which every rushee had to meet with every other brodier lor one-on-one time. "We
are all really close. We are each other's best friends, we live together, we party together," said Historian
Sarah Pratt. To be considered for membership, prospectives had to be involved in a music ensemble
and be willing to work hard.
KK^F not only provided service to the whole university music department but to the community
as well. Pratt described their Adopt-a-Highway project location as "out in the boonies down Port Republic
Road." She continued, "We have our own designated area and once a semester we go as a big group
and clean up while trying to find interesting dungs. We've found some wierd stuff. A lot of tobacco
products, beer bottles, and for some reason, recently there has been a lot of pornography. It's really
strange what we can find."
As their biggest time commitment, the KrCF membership consisted of the marching band crev
that performed the dirty work at performances for football games. Pratt explained. "There is the coke
crew to give out drinks to all 450 members, a pit crew that carries all of the equipment to put it on
the truck and take it off of the truck. There are yard markers to mark the field for practice and uniform
people to give all of the members their uniform parts. Stuff like that."
Other KK*P duties included volunteering to usher for recitals and musicals that regularly took
place in Wilson and holding car washes and raffles to raise money for the university's entire music
department. Considering their endless service to the school and the community, KKAr' was one of
die busiest and most selfless clubs on the campus. By Becca Worthington

Through their activities and fellowship, the Lutheran Student
Movement provided a welcoming community for all students.
One of the activities the 25-member organization participated in was
its annual banquet. Held in the spring for all Lutheran students, faculty,
and staff. "We enjoyed a catered meal by JMU Special Events, followed by a
speaker and entertainment," said President Paige Pitsenberger. "Last year
our speaker was The Reverend Dr. Cecil Bradfield, a former professor in
the Sociology department and our former advisor. Also last year, the BluesTones
performed for us, of which our Vice President, Dana Wiggins, is a member."
Having dinner with a local family was another popular LSM get together.
"An event that I know everyone always looks forward to is having dinner
at this old farm house owned by a family from our church," said Adrienne
Merrill, treasurer. "The food is great and it is a good time to have fellowship
and get to know everyone better."
Members of the LSM also involved themselves in a community service
effort to raise money for a refugee family from Rwanda. The organization
held a coffee house in the basement of Muhlenberg Lutheran Church where
they hold their services. "We transformed [the church] into a coffee house
setting," said Merrill. "People came to listen to members of the church and
LSM sing or play instruments while enjoying some coffee or hot cocoa.
Everyone was welcomed [too attend]."
Pitsenberger, who had been involved with the ministry since the fall
of 1997, helped plan all ministry events. Her job as president included
organizing meetings between officers and their campus pastor, Reverend
Martha Miller Sims. "I work with Pastor Martha and the student executive
committee in planning the calendar around the school and church schedule
so that we may hold activities that help us enjoy fellowship together and
in an interfaith manner, if we plan activities with other religious organizations,"
said Pitsenberger. By James David

MADISON
project
Madison Project reigned as the "original" a cappella group on
campus. Just three short years since its formation in the fall
of 1997, Madison Project founded a cappella at the university, becoming
a strong presence in campus activities. The all-male group hosted shows in
campus residence halls and sponsored a Christmas benefit concert at Grafton-
Stovall Theatre. They enjoyed performing with other musical organizations
as well such as the all-female a capella group, Note-oriety. Madison Project
was also highly recognizable outside of the university, performing in shows
up and down the East Coast at universities and public venues.
At the National Collegiate A Cappella competition, the men attended
with the hope of matching last year's semifinal finish. For their performance
pieces, the Madison Project chose well-known songs from the 80s and also
tried to incorporate more recent material into their shows. New selections
included the pop songs "(Absolutely) Story of a Girl" by Nine Days and
"I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys.
Since the group regularly received requests to perform, they had to
vote on which ones to do. According to Business Manager Jamie Stokes,
"we try to accept as many as possible because we obviously love to sing
and that is our purpose." The group raised an outrageous amount of money
for different organizations and causes including Camp Heartland, Breast
Cancer Awareness, Women's Club Volleyball and a mission trip to Mexico.
Before each concert, the group had a big huddle to get them focused.
Following the show, they greeted audience members and encouraged them
to give feedback. The Madison Project was a very diverse group of men and
contrary to popular belief, did not consist solely of music majors. Accounting
major Jamie Stokes believed that with his participation in the a capella group
he had "nothing to lose except the opportunity to sing and have a great
and rewarding time!"
Madison Project projected their love for music with high energy perfor-
mances. "We focus on musicality as a group, but we also like to put good
emphasis on our energy because we feel that getting the crowd into the show
is a big part of it and makes it that much more exciting" said Stokes. By

MADISON
" ^ pint through tradition! Tradition through Spirit!" It was hard for students to avoid
\^J hearing this phrase shouted at them as they passed through The Commons each afternoon
during Homecoming week. True to their motto, die members or the Madison Society were easily
identifiable with their trademark purple and gold hats and shirts, rallying cheers and spreading spirit
to the students of the university.
This year, out of all the medium-sized groups participating in the Homecoming week activities,
the Madison Society won the spirit competition. Tradition was important to the spirited bunch whose
main purpose was to promote all aspects of campus life and unite the students, alumni, faculty and
staff together. All of the dimensions of the university were combined by increasing die enthusiasm,
the pride and the respect of each student for one another and their surroundings.
The Madison Society participated in the James Madison Week festivities, sponsoring such events
as the purple and gold breakfast for the president's office. The group then dispersed themselves throughout
campus and showed their personal spirit amidst the campus crowds walking around, hoping their
school pride would rub off on their fellow students. "I look forward to seeing everyone's spirit and
dedication to die university each year because it's an important part of our image as a fun campus,"
said junior Leigh Anne Epperson.
Without the enthusiasm of the 75 Madison Society members, campus would have been a dull
place. "I love this organization because I can show my pride for school and promote that spirit on campus,"
said junior Erin Conley. By Christina Leone

A proud member of the Virginia Division of the National
College Lacrosse League (NCLL), the Men's Lacrosse Club
finished their 1999-2000 season in second place. Over the past four years
the club grew into a competitive force and opened its fall season by defeating
the defending league champions, George Washington University 9-6.
The team consisted of 30 active members and traveled to West Virginia
on the last weekend of October to participate in the 16th Annual Mountaineer
Invitational Lacrosse Tournament. They were defeated in game one by West
Virginia University alumni with a score of 6-5 but had a comeback against
Dayton University in game two with a score of 7-6. Unfortunately, their
loss to the West Virginia University alumni kept them from competing in
the semifinal round of the tournament and Loyola University went on to
win the championship game.
The club provided an environment for players to continue their lacrosse
experience while in college. Anyone from the community interested in
joining the team had to attend a practice time within the first three weeks
of that semester and speak with the team president. The team practiced three
nights a week for two hours in Bridgeforth Stadium. Anyone from the
university was welcome to practice but only those players on the roster were
allowed to play in a game.
The club took the game off the field and into the classroom by providing
educational programs tor the Boy Scouts of America and the Fredericksburg
Youth Lacrosse League as well as programs for the community about the
history of the game. By Andrea Flanary

The Men's Club Soccer entered the 2000-2001 season as the
reigning club National Champions thanks to last season's 2-0
victory over Florida Sate in the championship in Statesboro, Ca. This year,
the team traveled to Austin, Tx. to defend their title.
Coached by club President Sean Mannion and Vice President Tobey
Van Santvoord, the men began their season in September at the Pennsylvania
State University Tournament. The team finished the regular season with an
8-1 record.
The team traveled to the club National Championships to defend their
title as the best club soccer team in the nation against the top 64 teams from
the entire country. Seniors Cameron Stoddart, Christian LaFrienre, Greig
Warwick and MVP of the National Tournament, Sean Mannion, were all
named to the All-Tournament team last year and remained on top.
"We hope to continue to stay on top and be able to compete in the
National Tournament every year," said treasurer John Sentz.
The Men's Soccer Club not only worked hard on the field, but they also
worked diligently off the field as well. They helped the Harrisonburg Rescue
Squad by raising money so they could better serve the community. As a
student-run organization, their fundraising efforts included selling concessions
at football and basketball games, T-shirt sales and car washes. These events
helped raise money for the team to travel and provided uniforms tor the growing
number of participants that ranged from 45-50 players. By Kristin Unge,

NAACP
minority
The 20 members of the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People (NAACP) were dedicated individuals devoted
to improving the political, social, and economic status or the adverse effects
of racial discrimination.
The NAACP as a whole was the nation's strongest and largest civil
rights organization. It was founded in 1909 in New York by a group of black
and white citizens committed to social justice.
"The NAACP has allowed me to be an active party here at JMU as well
as in the Harrisonburg community bv making it possible to reveal and address
minority concerns such as voter empowerment, police brutality and sexually
transmitted diseases," said junior Jessena Godfrey. "It has also assisted in
helping me to learn better leadership skills."
The Voter Empowerment Program held in the fall, the Black Faculty
and Staff Breakfast held in the winter, and the Black Faculty and Staff
Banquet/Image Awards in the spring were three important programs that
the organization held. The Voter Empowerment Program hoped to enhance
the voting power of the university community. They did this by educating
students on the importance of registering to vote or requesting absentee
ballots. They also brought speaker King Salim Khalfani, the executive director
of the Virginia State NAACP, to campus to speak about the importance
of voting.
The breakfast provided the staff and faculty members the opportunity
to fellowship and to get to know one another better because they didn't
always have the chance to sit down and talk.
During the Black Faculty and Staff Banquet/Image Awards, minorities
were recognized for exhibiting outstanding leadership and community service.
"I've been involved in the NAACP since my sixth grade year," said senior
DaNet Henderson, president of the chapter. "When I came here I kept my
interest going because it is not only a powerful organization, but it is also
an organization which unites people under a common cause: equality and
justice for all." By Rachelle Thompson

The Men's Water Polo ream enjoyed their 22nd year at JMU in which they competed,
practiced and volunteered together.
A club of 25 members, the team played in the Atlantic Division of the Collegiate Water Pole
Association, competing against teams from the University of Virginia, Washington and Lee,
GeorgetownUniversity, and the University of Maryland. Players on the team described themselves as
highly motivated and competitive, playing year- round from September to May and traveling all over
the country. (
The team was excited to compete in several spring invitational tournaments. The University of
Florida, University of Tennessee and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill were the team's favorite
destinations where they competed and toured the areas.
"The team developed into a tight-knit group of friends and teammates both in and out of the
water," said senior Brian Wallenhorst, president. The team continuously participated in team building
activities such as pasta dinners before games and spent free time together on weekends.
The Men's Water Polo team was open to experienced as well as inexperienced playefs. "We all
started off at the same level and built our skills together," said senior Luke Martonik, treasurer. "It helped
build teamwork."
The men held fundraisers throughout the year to fund their travel and equipment costs such as
poster sales and consession stand sales. The team also raised money to adopt two children through
the Valley AIDS Network for Christmas and volunteered at the Special Olympics held in Bridgeforth
Stadium in the spring.

Some students were used to making things up on the spot but one
group took that idea to a whole new level. New & Improv'd, the
university's improv troupe, kept audiences laughing and amazed with their
improvisational skills. "Our primary purpose was to entertain the community
through comedic improv," said junior Adam Suritz.
A packed audience at Wilson Hall experienced the group's magic when
they opened for Saturday Night Live comedian Darrell Hammond. "It was
incredible." said sophomore Kim Esp. "We've wanted to play Wilson Hall
and it was such a great opportunity. Opening up for an SNL member was
an honor [because] I love the show. I've never done improv for such a large
crowd, but it felt right. I had so much fun up there and I just hope the
audience had as much fun as we did."
Their performance in Wilson Hall was President Bill Howards favorite
moment of the year because it was a realization of a troupe goal. "We began
last year very humbly, wishing to one day, in the distant future, to be able
to perform on Wilson Hall's stage," said Howard. "Within a semester-and-
a-half, we got there. It is a real tribute, not only to the members of the troupe,
but also to our fans."
In terms of their supporters, the troupe was grateful for having good
audiences to work with when they performed. "Without an audience, an
improvist is nothing," said Howard. "We couldn't have gotten where we are
without our loyal fans, trudging out to all those TDU shows and spreading
the word about us to all their friends."
Improv skills were not only utilized in front of large crowds. The 10-
person troupe developed group traditions that included using their improv
skills on each other. "We love doing DIPs, Devilish Improv Pranks, after
rehearsal," said Suritz.
During rehearsals, the group used the time to get to know the other
actors while strengthening their improvisational skills. "We normally just
play games that build improving skills and games that we perform," said
Howard. "The rehearsals are designed to prepare us for audiences, and also
to allow us to get to know each other's acting style, thereby allowing us greater
freedom, and fluidity on stage."
In the future, the group hoped to perform in the community. "We have
some [community service projects] in the works," said Suritz. "We hope to
do shows at the hospital, and some other fundraisers." By James David

Honoring the efforts o
the National Society of Collegiate Scholars joined the university, obtaining their charter in
1999. As a society of hardworking students who enjoyed having fun while giving back to their community,
the organization nominated potential members in the spring with a grade point average of 3.4 or higher.
During its first year in existence at the university, the society's members strove to serve the
Harrisonburg community, collaborating with other groups on campus by sponsoring projects. The
group continued their efforts at a local soup kitchen and extended their volunteering efforts to the
Boys and Girls Club where they tutored children after school and took the time to get to know them.
Another program the honor society participated in was "Planning for College Success," a part of
Colin Powell's American Promise Program. Heading over to Montevideo Middle School once a week,
students mentored seventh graders and gave them college advice such as what they would need to
do to get in the school of their choice. "This program is about teaching young students how to
realistically go about dieir dreams. I'm helping one student who wants to go into the Navy and get a
scholarship and another one who wants to be a doctor," said senior Holly Hargreaves.
Hargreaves had a passion for the society from its inception and continued to pass her enthusi-
asm on to her fellow collegiate scholars. Hargreaves stressed the importance of doing well academically
and it's benefits for the future. "We want students to continue to strive for the best and have the
opportunity to become one of the thousands of other students whose main purpose is to work for
scholarship, leadership and service within the community," she said. By Christina Leone

Where is Gibbons Hall? Does Wal-Mart take Flex? These were
jiist some ot the questions that plagued freshmen every year. With
an extensive knowledge of campus, the Orientation Program Assistants, better
known as the OPAs, were there to provide answers to campus newcomers.
OPAs ran the orientation activities during the summer and the week
before classes began in the "Map It" and "Pack It" programs, and throughout
the first semester in their "Live It" program. These were designed to ease
freshmen into their new community by acquainting them with an experienced,
enthusiastic upperclassman eager to help the university's newest residents.
Each year a new group of students was selected for the 25 OPA
positions. For four weeks in August and early September, the members spent
all their time side-by-side. Training lasted a week-and-a-half and prepared
the OPAs to anticipate almost any scenario that could possibly develop during
their time with their freshman group.
A typical day was exhausting as they had to report to D-hall at 7 a.m.,
run through training activities into the afternoon and attend the daily
debriefing at 8:30 p.m. According to OPA Adam Suritz, "Five hours of
sleep a night was considered a miracle." The group also took road trips to
Blue Hole, Reddish Knob, Purcell Park, and to a Fourth of July celebration
in Staunton.
The OPAs came away from their experience with new friends and the
feeling that they had sufficiently prepared a new freshman class for life at
the university. By Andrea Flanary

Note-oriety, the first university female a capella group, was known for their performances featuring
pop songs that included Lauryn Hill's "Cant Take My Eyes Off You," the Dixie Chicks' "Cowboy Take
Me Away," and Madonna's "Like a Prayer."
The group was founded in the fall of 1998 by 2000 grad Bonnie Estes and senior Kelly Meyer. As
a student-run organization, Note-oriety earned most of its income through performances and its first
CD, Overquota .
The 1 5 girls of Note-oriety held three university concerts a semester including Sunset on the Quad
during Homecoming week. They also traveled to perform at other schools along the East Coast such as
William and Mary and the University of Virginia. Their benefit concert, Kids for Camp Heartland,
featured five other acappella groups and raised over $1,000 with the majority of the profit going to
Kids for a Camp Heartland.
When they weren't practicing, the girls liked to keep each other informed about everything.
Members often received as many as 20 e-mails a day from fellow members. "We like to joke about how
many e-mails we send each other everyday," said sophomore Erin Wilkinson. "This is why we tided our
CD 'Overquota,' because we so often go overquota due to the mass of correspondence we have!"
"Note-oriety is an extremely close knit group of girls who not only share an incredible bond by our
love of music, but through our friendships as well," added Wilkinson. By Kristin Unger

For anyone who wanted to join an a capella group, the members
of the Overtones were more than welcoming. "I joined the Overtones
because I wanted to see what a cappella had to offer, but I never knew what
a tightly-knit group I would become a part of," said junior David Hartley.
This sentiment resounded with all the members of the organization as they
quickly became more than just singing partners; they also became friends.
The Overtones were one of two coed a cappella groups on campus.
The group consisted of 16 members who sang tor the Shenandoah Valley
area. Founded in 1997, they were the second oldest a cappella group. Adding
to their success was the fact that the group attracted new members every year.
In addition to perfoming in the Shennandoah Valley area, the Overtones
also sang at schools such as the University of Virginia, Johns Hopkins, University
of Maryland-College Park, and even travelled as far away as Amherst, Mass.
to entertain audiences.
The Overtones' greatest accomplishment was being chosen to be on
the BOCA 2000: Best of College A Cappella compilation CD. Their song,
"Ghost," originally released by the Indigo Girls, was chosen from thousands
of other a cappella songs. Making it an even bigger honor was the fact that
they were the first campus a capella organization to be chosen to be a part
of the national CD.
Other than performing and singing, the group was extremely close and
"really the best of friends," said David Hartley. "I also think that we have
an added element to our sound because we are coed."
To serve Harrisonburg and the surrounding community, the group also
participated in fundraisers with the other a cappella groups on campus helping
with Camp Heartland, a camp tor children infected with the HIV virus.
Members tasted success as a result of their hard work, dedication, and a
strong commitment to their group gave them the opportunity to form fast
friendships. By Christina Olson

Whether ihe\- were showcasing their strong musical talents
with instruments like the trumpet, the saxophone, the piano
or their own voices, the men of Phi Mu Alpha dedicated themselves to
encouraging and actively promoting music in America. Since 1969 the
members had accomplished their goal through the highest standards of
creativity, performance, education and research.
Twenty members strong, OMA was the only all-male professional music
fraternity on campus and any man interested in music was eligible to join.
The fraternity was founded at the New England Conservatory of Music
in Boston, Mass. on October 6, 1898 and was the largest professional music
fraternity in the world with over 93,000 initiates, 30 provinces and more
than 200 university and college chapters in the nation.
The Sinfonia Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the fraternity,
provided thousands of dollars for research institutions that matched grants
in support of chapter projects, and the commissioning of new works. One
of their largest community projects was a concert sponsored for the Sheetz
Family Christmas program. Other services included installing "in-use" and
"open" signs on practice rooms, moving the harpsichord for various events,
and setting up chairs. The men were also known to lend a helping hand to
their professors outside of class. Through their good works, <t>MA continued
to spread the appreciation of music throughout campus and the Harrisonburg
community. By Andrea Flanary

The social sororities on campus were united by one group, the Panhellenic Council, whose
purpose was to act as the governing body of the eight greek chapters on campus while
promoting scholarship, education, service, and unity. The organization was formed in Chicago, bringing
togedier women from each sorority to compose a group that would provide leadership and guidance.
There were 1 0 executive board members and a council representative from each sorority chapter.
The group met weekly throughout the year, orchestrating projects such as fall sorority recruitment.
Such an undertaking included leading interested women in organized groups through the various
sorority houses.
Throughout the year, Panhellenic brought speakers to campus to discuss topics of interest to
sorority members but opened them to the social fraternities through the International Fraternity Council.
Topics covered ranged from discussion about leadership to die importance of rituals to time management
and alcohol-related issues.
As all the sororities had community service requirements for members, the Panhellenic Council
helped each chapter find a place in the community to send sisters to complete their hours. They
volunteered at such places as the Boys and Girls Club, the Salvation Army, and retirement communities
in and around Harrisonburg.
The council promoted a good camaraderie between sororities, as well. "Each semester we pair up
sister sororities, so that they can co-sponsor events related to philanthropy or community service, or
even just hold movie nights together and get to know each other," said senior April Frazier. Panhellenic
Council served as a unifier and a moderator for the social sororities on campus, helping to make Greek
life a rewarding experience for all the women involved. By Katie Russo

PHI SIGMA
Pi
Based on a tripod of scholarship, leadership, and fellowship, Phi
Sigma Pi was a thriving national honor fraternity. With 73 members,
the coed fraternity was founded at the university in 1995 as the Beta Rho
Chapter. There had been 85 chapters that developed around the country
since 1914. The brotherhood set their sights on combining a group oi
individuals with the same interests and primary goals to impact the community
through their cardinal principles.
<t>2XI contributed a lot of time to the community and held sevetal
fundraisers throughout the year. They worked closely with the Multiple
Sclerosis Society, their charity, on the MS Walk. They also held their own
event for the MS Society called the "MS Sleepout" where they slept on The
Commons all night in order to collect spare change.
The fraternity was also the key volunteet group at Farm Aid 2000, a
concert that hosted many popular bands in Northern Virginia. Volunteering
at local nursing homes and Mercy House, sponsoring food and toy drives
and participating in Adopt-a-Highway were also among their community services.
The fraternity had a very diverse brotherhood because it was open to
all majors. Prospective rushees had to have at least 12 credits from the univer-
sity, a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, and an interest in upholding the
fraternity tripod of scholarship, leadership, and fellowship.
"Each brother brought their own specialty to the group, but also took
something great away from it," said President Kelly Tober. By Andrea Flanary

Phi Epsilon Kappa was a professional national fraternity for men and women engaged in
pursuing careers in health, physical education, recreation, safety and sports management. There
were approximately 150 students in OEK, most of whom were kinesiology majors.
The purpose of OEK was to build professionalism among its members and establish a network
of professionals for student graduates hoping to find kinesiology-related jobs. OEK built profession-
alism and friendships by getting involved in many community service activities and campus events.
Every year, <5EK participated in Adopt-a-Highway, the MS Walk and Special Olympics. Twice
a semester, members of <t>EK cleaned up a one-mile stretch of road of Port Republic near South View
apartments. <&EK members also showed their support for multiple sclerosis by raising money and
walking in the annual MS Walk in October. Helping with the Special Olympics in Bridgeforth
Stadium every spring was also one of their rewarding community service projects. Last spring, <I>EK
members assisted their adviser, Dr. Steve Carney, with coordinating the Special Olympics for Harrisonburg's
District IV division. Members set up equipment, acted as buddies to the athletes, presented awards
and ran the athletic events.
OEK also supported the campus varsity teams and honored faculty members. <J>EK cheered for
all of the athletic teams on campus by having members at almost every sporting event. They also showed
their appreciation for their teachers by decorating their office doors. According to Pledge Coordinator
Tanya McGann, "Many years ago, <J>EK was the largest professional/social fraternity on campus and
was referred to as 'the cult'. So we decided to honor that idea by starting Master Cult Day in which
we honor our faculty members for all their hardwork." By Aimee Costello

RESIDENCE HALL
association
Did you ever go to .1 campus event like the Gong Show and
wonder which organization was responsibe for sponsoring the
event? The Gong Show, in addition to numerous other campus-wide
events, was organized by the Residence Hall Association (RHA), formerly
known as Inter-hall Council. Although members of RHA included all
on-campus residents, the only active members in the organization were
those who were on the hall councils of their residence halls. The main
purpose of RHA was to provide both social and educational programs to
all students who lived on campus through hall council programs as well as
campus-wide activities.
The Events and Fundraising committees planned and funded each
activity RHA sponsored. Their activities included the Gong Show as well
as various service-related projects. The previous year, RHA sponsored an
activity' called Kristi's Christmas that allowed various halls to sponsor
children and spend a dav with them. RHA President Maria Scherer said
that each child was given a box of necessities that included "everyday items
that we take for granted as well as money to buy holiday presents for their
families." Another of the RHA committees was the Spirit committee that
was responsible for RHA group bonding activities that fostered school spirit.
The Publicity Committee in turn was responsible for publicizing RHA
sponsored activities and events throughout campus.
Being a member of RHA was an opportunity to attend conferences for
campus leaders and members of similar organizations across the county.
According to Scherer. "The RHA gives campus leaders the opportunity to
grow through the state, regional, and national conferences that its members
attend." She added, "[RHA is a] great organization to become involved with
because it provides a voice for people on campus." By Victoria Leavelle

As a coed national marketing fraternity open to all majors. Pi Sigma Epsilon sought to
provide practical marketing and sales experience to its membership. Nationally founded in
1952 at the University of Georgia, the university's Delta Rho chapter gained its charter in March of
1990 and had built a strong brodierhood over the years.
While its purpose was to create and market the projects created by its members from conception
to completion, the organization was also community oriented. Brothers provided a sober driver program
on designated weekends, sponsored several blood drives and conducted a very successful raffle to raise
funds for their organization. "Our community service efforts are growing. We sponsor a blood drive
twice a year and have been very successful so far with about 60-70 donors each time," said President
Michelle Self. "We've also adopted a local family for Christmas and that has been really gratifying."
The organization had earned several awards and distinctions, notably the bronze level of achievement
from die national chapter for the past three years. This included planning several social, marketing
and service activities in order to qualify.
Bonding activities were also an important part of the brotherhood. "We are a close bunch. We
regularly have bonding activities such as tailgating, trips to Reddish Knob, retreats and formal events,"
said Self. Social activities also included attending sporting events together and participation in TILE
intramural teams.
Hoping to continue their tradition of excellence, members sought campus-wide recognition.
"We hope to continue recruiting by making ourselves more widely recognized by sponsoring even
more events," said Self. By Christina Cook

Ii was their sixth year and the Roller Hockey Club played hard,
traveled like mad and worked toward expansion in the process. The
club played against many large schools while members kept their goals of
quality game play and helping a charitable cause.
The club was a third year participant in the Eastern Collegiate Roller
Hockey Association (ECRHA) which ottered members the opportunity
to travel to destinations such as New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Florida and Nevada. The club's travels took them to meeting places against
such rival schools as the University ol Delaware, the University of Maryland,
Drexell University, Pennsylvania State University and Virginia Tech.
In order for the club to keep up in the ECRHA action during the regular
season, the club worked hard in practice dividing into A and B teams,
that practiced separately twice a week.
The team was self-funded, each member paying for his own equipment
and traveling expenses. However, self sufficiency did not stop the group from
showing their charitable side. During the holiday season, the club participated
with the Warm A Winter Wish project. The club's effort in the project
included sponsoring a person in need by giving them gifts for Christmas.
An admirable quality of the Roller Hockey Club was their ambition.
Holding a high national position, their goal was to compete as one of the
final four national teams in Anaheim, Calif. "I think we have a pretty
good chance to go to nationals," said Jason White, club president.
The future of at least one member was enhanced by involvement in
the club. Senior Dan Dychowski planned on playing for a professional roller
hockey league after graduation. Dychowski served as goalie during the
regular season.
Further plans for the club included beginning a women's team and
increasing membership. The team also hoped to set up a rink outside to
increase available space to practice, citing that their usual practice areas at
the Duke Drive tennis courts and UREC were limited in space.
The Roller Hockey Club spent much of their time on the road and
practicing to maintain their national status. While they were busy much of
the year, they still had time to project goals tor the future and benefit a local
charity. By Terrence Nowlin

Sigma Alpha Iota, the international women's music fraternity,
took pride in maintaining a warm and supportive atmosphere,
which probably explained the high number of members who remained active
in their sisterhood throughout their college career. "I've been doing this since
mv freshman year and I love it," said junior Stephanie Kluesner, treasurer.
"EAI gives me a way to be in contact with the community. It's my outlet.
I enjoy helping out in any way I can."
Started in 1958, the sisterhood thrived on supporting musicians and
promoting musical experience. Fifty-five members strong, ZAI shared their
time and talents with the university and local community.
Promoting musicals and shows was only one way die members interacted
with the community. LAI sisters also participated in monthly community
service projects that included sponsoring and maintaining a rest stop at the
campus MS Walk at the end of October and regular visits to local nursing
homes. "We sing and perform at local nursing homes such as Avante and
Bridgewater," said senior Jessica Kendal, editor of ZAI. "Being out with the
community is probably our strongest purpose. It's the most rewarding." They
also helped with area food drives and a "sweater- and-book" drive with local
radio stations.
The sisters also invested their time and efforts into fundraising. Not only
did they raise money to sustain their own organization, they also did it to help
benefit others. "We just donated S300 to the School or Music through fundraising,"
said KJuesner. "The money donated went towards instrument repair."
Open to anyone with a love for music, the sisters prided themselves on
the diversity within their organization. "One thing we're proud of is that a
third or the sisterhood are non-music majors," said Kendal. "We have a growing
number. We're not just limited to music majors."
With a variety of service projects and fundraisers, the sisters of XAI
brought not only music, but a great deal of joy to the community. By

The aims of Psi Chi were summarized in two Greek words: psyche, suggesting "mind" or
scholarship, and cheires, meaning "hands," symbolizing fellowship and research. H'X
was the National Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging,
stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship and advancing the science of psychology. The
university chapter of *FX was one of approximately 875 chapters in the United States. Members had
to complete 40 credit hours, (nine of which were in psychcology), maintain a 3.5 grade point average
in dieir major and a 3.25 overall GPA. The most important qualification was a love of psycology and a
commitment to service. New members meeting the qualifications were inducted every semester. The
total number of memberships preserved at the national office during the first 66 years was over 187,000,
and many of these members went on to distinguished careers in psychology. A good representation
of their commitment came around the holidays.
The 50 members of ^X participated in two holiday projects. In conjunction with the Psychology
Department and Chi Sigma Iota, they sponsored the Holiday Giving Tree program collecting gifts
for a mondi from their members and donating them to the Roberta Webb Daycare Center. The second
project was a major undertaking that the club handled all on their own. For the Adopt- a-Family program,
members contacted Harrisonburg Social Services and recieved a disadvantaged family drat they could
sponsor for Christmas. President Kim Castora commented on the willingness of the organization to
help. "Every member bought something and it reminded us of how grateful we should be for what
we have." The family drey recieved was a single mother and her two children. Members shopped lor
gifts together, wrapped them and delivered them personally.
4*X truly enjoyed involving their organization in community causes in addition to their regular
club activities. "We were glad we could do something for a family in need during the season of giving,"
said Castora. By Teisha Garrett

Bicycling and basketball brougbt the brothers of Sigma Nu
together. ZN sponsored Hoops for Kids, a three-day basketball
marathon held in the fall to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. The brothers
marketed the event with flyers and even got local radio station, Q101,
involved by having them broadcast live from the courts. Mr. J s Bagels donated
food for the players and the brothers during the three days.
ZN set up a table on the corner of University Boulevard and Bluestone
Drive and sold T-shirts and cups to raise money for the tournament. Players
donated S3 to play 3-on-3, or $5 to play 5-on-5. President Linwood Rose
tossed the basketball for the opening day tip-off showing his support of ZN
and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The brothers, with the help of Delta
Delta Delta sorority, raised $4,000 to send to the Richmond chapter of
Make-A-Wish Foundation to help a child go to Walt Disney World. "Being
together for three straight days brought us all closer together and gave us
a chance to really get to know each other while doing something positive
for the community," said senior Chris DeLancey, president.
In another event, the brothers put down their basketballs and picked
up their bicycles as the whole chapter went to their national headquarters
in Lexington to bike back to Harrisonburg for donation pledges. The annual
spring philanthropic event was called The Longest Yard and raised money
for Special Olympics. Brothers got their friends, family and faculty to pledge
money tor the distance they rode between Lexington and Harrisonburg. The
event was tiring yet fun and brought the chapter closer together.
Through sports and fun events, the brothers of ZN served their campus
and community, working together and showing what brotherhood was really
all about. By Laura Lindsey

sisters rallied their talents to accomplish their goals.
XXX had a strong commitment to local and national community service,
with most or their efforts centered on serving children under their national
philanthropic theme, "Sigmas Serve Children." In October, XXX initiated
a reading program tor local school children. The sisters volunteered in local
elementary schools and helped them learn to read. They called their literacy
promotion program "Reading tor Robbie" in honor ol a past national XXX
president's late son, Robbie Page, a victim ol polio. Sisters across the country
adopted his name lor service involving children. In the spring, XXX hosted
the second annual Robbie Page Memorial Benefit Concert. The money raised
was sent to the University ot North Carolina hospitals and the Children's
Medical Center in Dallas, Tx. to support play therapy programs.
One of the chapter's favorite charitable events involving kids was their
annual Easter Egg Hunt with children from the surrounding community.
One sister dressed up in a bunny costume and played with the kids while
others hid eggs and organized games, relay races, and painted laces and Easter
eggs. The sisters ot XXX tound that community service projects wete a vital
part of their sisterhood. "Not only do they help others, but they also bring
us closer as a group and offer many individual growth and learning experiences,"
said President Stephanie Light.
In addition to volunteering during Derby Days and Greek Week, the
sisters ot XXX gave their time and friendly smiles to residents at a local nursing

The Student Government Association (SGA) recognized its
responsibility of actively participating in the university's
decision-making process in a variety ot wavs. Serving .is the voice of the student
body, the SGA represented its ideas, concerns, and opinions to both the
faculty and administration. Senior Saiba Kama! said that the SCA "addresses
administrative issues that are or concern to the student body in a way that
other organizations do not." The members of the SGA provided students
with a safe atmosphere to voice their concerns.
SGA consisted of 130 students called senators who each served on a
committee that addressed issues central to concerns of the student body. These
committees were Academic Affairs, Multicultural, Buildings and Grounds,
Communications and Public Relations, Finance, Interna] Affairs, Legislative
Action, Food Services, and Student Services. Voter Registration, MOSAIC
week, and Holidays on the Quad were just a few of the events that SGA
committees sponsored.
Multicultural Committee Chair Saiba Kamal marveled at the benefits
that the SGA won for the student body. SGA sponsored social and educational
programs in order to facilitate making students' years the best possible."
The Multicultural committee sponsored diversity awareness panels,
the showing of movies highlighting a specific aspect of diversity and MOSAIC
week. During MOSAIC week, the Multicultural committee sponsored the
fashion show, "Culture Cabaret" that showcased members of the diverse
community present in student body.
Through its programming, the SGA committed itself to offering a forum
for students to acknowledge their concerns while knowing that their opinion
made a difference. By Victoria Leavelle

Sigma Kappa enjoyed a successful year embarking on new projects
while upholding old traditions. One hundred ZK sisters traveled
down the road to Blacksburg, Va. to help their national headquarters found
a new chapter at Virginia Tech. The women, along with other ZK chapters
from other schools, spent a weekend in [anuary recruiting women as new
sisters. The trip gave XK a chance to meet other sisters from surrounding
universities and renewed their sorority's history and fundamentals.
ZK also started a new volunteer program with an area day care facility.
Two sisters volunteered at a time and worked five days out of every week,
playing with the kids, giving them snacks and helping them widi their alphabet
and numbers. In November, the sisters got a rare treat; their national president
came from Indiana and conducted a workshop on sisterhood and IK. Each
sister walked away from the all-day conference with increased enthusiasm
and closer bonds.
ZK reinstituted a long standing philanthrophy by hosting the Memory
Walk. Along with other supporters, sisters ran or walked a two-mile path
around Purcell Park to raise money for Alzheimer's Disease. They also
sold lollipops on The Commons to benefit their cause. "The lollipop
campaign is an easy way for our sisters, as well as others in our commu-
nity, to raise awareness about a worthy cause," said Kimmie Maiden,
foundations and campaign chairperson.
The sisters enjoyed a successful rush as they welcomed potential members
to their "Sigma Circus." New and old sisters enjoyed annual events such as
the Crush Parry, Christmas Cocktail, Sister Party and Blue Jean Ball. The
sisters rallied their talents, whether they were artisdc, athletic, vocal or rhythmic,
to participate in other events and fundraisers such as Derby Days, Anchor
Splash, Rose Bowl and Greek sing. By Laura Lindsey

Fostering an interest in the study of science hadn't been an easy task tor the universn
past years with trends towards the technical computer and engineering sciences, but the Society
of Physics Students (SPS) took it on proudly. Chartered on April 2, 1981, the organization went to
many lengths ro promote physics literacy and interest within the school, as well as outside in the
Harrisonburg community.
With an active membership of 15 students, SPS held the annual "Physics is Fun" show at Latimer-
Schaeffer Theatre for local middle school students.
"We set up experiment demos that illustrated different laws of physics," said junior Sharon Koh,
head of alumni/national relations. "I enjoyed participating and the kids all loved watching and learning."
Community events like this one not only stimulated and educated students, but they also helped
recruitment efforts through local chapters of the organization. Meetings to plan these local events were
held regularly over pizza parties.
By promoting undergraduate research and physics literacy, SPS retained underclassmen students
within the major as well as introduced undecided students to the department. One major program to
accomplish this was the peer-mentoring program. "We are doing this to help keep freshmen physics
majors interested and doing well," said junior William M. Quarles, vice president. "This gives the students a
mentor to look up to and ask advice. They move on from there and create an individual relationship."
Another underclassmen assistance program was the tutoring session for Physics I students the
weekend before finals. This helped prepare freshmen to take their first round of college finals.
With a website in the works on the physics department server, SPS strove ro serve students widt
an interest in physics. By Cyprian Mendeliiis

As the only performing arts club open to anyone on campus, the
Stratford Players was one oi the oldest and most respected organiza-
tions lot the dramatic arts. There were 25 active members but the number
fluctuated due to the ever-changing nature or the club. The Stratford Players
provided students with a theatrical education forum to exhibit their writing,
directing, acting and producing talents. Each production was produced and
promored entirely by students from start to finish.
Having been in existence in some form since the university was the all-
female Madison College, the group was originally comprised of students who
put on plays before there was a theater organization on campus. Audiences
hailed their experimental techniques and sometimes daring productions, often
reserved for "mature audiences only.
The Players approved and produced approximately 12 plays a year for
Theatre II, the university's experimental theater. Students were given the
opportunity to submit a production proposal to the Stratford Players. Minimal
productions were given a budget of $200 and maximal productions had no
set financial limitations. "We evaluate the proposals by the potential quality
of their production," said President Katie Lawson.
Play genres consisted of everything from comedies and musicals to
Shakespeare and Greek tragedies. Fall semester shows included the original
student-written play "The Big Honkin' Sketch Show," "Valley Song," "House
of the Blue Leaves," "Glengarry Glenn Ross" and the double bill "Sex, Drugs,
& Rock n' Roll" and "Savage Love," a series of monologues and poetry
readings, respectively.
"The best part of being a part ot dlis group is knowing what's going on in
the theatre community and it's a good way to find support," said Lawson.

Students for Minority Outreach (SMO) was founded in 1989 with the goal of recruiting
and retaining minority students to the university. Through several activities, SMO was able to
draw minority students to the university and keep them involved once they arrived on cajnpus. According
to senior Bahi Harris, SMO recording secretary, "Through events such as Take-a-Look Day and African-
American Prospective Students Weekend, the members of SMO strive to present a positive place for
students of color to learn and grow as individuals."
Another purpose of the organization was to promote the university as a progressive and ethnically
diverse environment that promoted interaction between members of the diverse groups represented on
campus. Sponsoring activities such as Skate Jam, SMO continued to serve as a bridge between the
university's ethnically diverse student populations. Member Saiba Kamal believed that "without organiza-
tions like SMO, our university would be lacking a vital element that makes it unique.'
Two events that defined SMO were Take-a-Look Day and African-American Prospective Students
Weekend. Take-A-Look Day, held in the fall of each year, provided high school students with the
opportunity to visit the campus for a day and take part in mock classes. Over 20 campus organizations
participated, giving students the chance to experience the campus from a multicultural perspective.
African-American Prospective Students Weekend provided minority students interested in the university
with a similar experience, but expanded upon Take-A-Look Day, allowing them to live out a full
weekend of campus events while staying in a residence hall with a host student.
Through its activities, SMO provided its 60 members with die opportunity to have a lasting impact
on the university while serving as a liaison between the university and the surrounding community.

Tae Kwon Do was a Korean art that meant "the art of punching
and kicking." When the club began on January 20, 1981, they
wanted to stimulate interest in the art of Tae Kwon Do among students. In
1 l)l)4. the club changed its name to the Karate Club after changing its martial
arts focus. The new name only lasted until the spring of 1995 when the martial
arts style returned to Tae Kwon Do.
Tae Kwon Do used the same style teachings as Khan's Martial Arts Academy
in Northern Virginia. The club offered three different levels of classes, including
beginner, intermediate, and advanced. According to Riya Mehta, club
president, "Students are taught the fundamentals of the martial arts through
forms and spacing." Students learned the traditional Chung Do Kwon self
defense and self-discipline, improving the physical and mental competence
of its members and enabling them to make new friends through events and
practices. "The club is a wonderful way for people to get together and learn,"
said Andrew Carnahan, assistant instructor.
In March 2000, the Tae Kwon Do Club attended a national meet in
Manassas, Va. They did extremely well and earned many trophies. The club
also hosted a tournament at UREC, inviting schools from Maryland, Virginia
and Washington, D.C.
With approximately 70 members, they also participated in growing
community service projects such as cleaning up the Convocation Center after
basketball games, holding canned food drives and biking and lifting to raise
money for the fight against cancer.
The Tae Kwon Do Club impacted the community because it broadened
the horizons of its members and enabled them to live in a society in which
self defense was exttemely important. Its members developed physical and
mental discipline while also receiving aerobic conditioning.
"The Tae Kwon Do Club is unique because it is a way of life and teaches
students things they may need to know in order to save their own or someone
else's life someday. I truly believe that our club has touched people here in a
way that will last forever," said Mehta. By Rachelle Thompson

Tennis Club proved to be a big hit as its members served up good competition, good times,
and friendships. President Sarah Rainey, took the reins and charged forward by setting matches
with nearby schools. In order to ensure the success of die club. "I had to go to meetings at UREC
for sports clubs and hand in a lot or paperwork" said Rainey. The team unleashed its skills against
formidable opponents. Both the men and women played William and Mary, Richmond, the University
of Virginia, North Carolina State and Eastern Mennonite. The team had big plans for its future. "We
are planning to go to a national tournament in Texas and that should be a lot of fun," said Rainey.
When playing against other schools, the Tennis Club came out swinging even when their opponents
didn't. "I love being able to compete with other schools," said junior Katie Lewis, a member of the
team for three years. "One thing that bothers me is when other schools tell you they have 10 girls that
want to play and only 3 show up for the match. Then you have seven girls that don't get to play."
Members of the Tennis Club showed their dedication by practicing as a team four times a week.
"Generally, we just play singles or doubles and work on the skills we want to improve on," said Lewis.
During matches and practices, the team still kept an aspect of relaxation in the game. "It is competitive
but still laid-back. It's great," said Rainey.
This relaxed atmosphere was one of the reasons students joined the team. For most of the members.
Tennis Club was part of a lifetime of playing. "1 have been playing tennis since I was four years old,"
said Rainey. "When I came to college I wanted to play competitively and die club team was the best
opportunity for me."
Practicing and traveling with the team fostered unity and friendship. "I am grateftil for the wonderful
people I met through Tennis Club and how much fiin we have had in the past three years," said Rainey.

Tau Beta Sigma was an honorary hand service sorority dedicated
to promoting hand, music and women's leadership. Started in
1987, TBZ worked with their male counterpart honor fraternity, Kappa Kappa
I'm, to serve the music department and the community.
The 1 8 women of TBZ served the hand and its members at daily practices
b) setting up yard markers, dragging the equipment onto the field, handing
out cups of water and arranging their transportation to away games.
"TBZ really encouraged me to get into music and develop my leadership
skills," said senior, Anna Johnson. "Each member had a lot of responsibilities.
1 wouldn't have been as active in band it it weren't tor TBZ."
The sorority took on additional responsibilities when the band traveled
to Greece in December. Members oversaw the equipment transfer and
distribution and helped band members keep track or their instruments. TBZ
also helped everyone on the trip get their passports and medical information
together tor the overseas journey.
The sorority participated in community service throughout the year as
well. In March, TBZ participated in a week of fundraising to collect money
tor VHl's Save the Music Day. TBZ ushered concerts for the music department
throughout the year and also participated in the annual Muscular Dystrophy
walk by distributing flyers for promotion of the event. TBZ also awarded
their annual scholarship, Outstanding Woman in Band Award, to a local
high school senior.
TBZ had many traditions that bonded them as sisters. "I joined to serve
the band, but I stay in TBZ because of the people and bonds and friendships
that I've formed," said junior Becca Goldberg. By Laura Lindsey

Women of Color was an organization founded in the fall of 1987 to provide support and
offer opportunities for personal, spiritual, and intellectual growth to the women of color
among the student body.
The group participated in many service activities, including Adopt-a-Family during the holiday
season. Group members bought gifts such as clothes and toys for each member of their adopted family
and put together a food basket for a holiday meal. They also hoped to begin fundraising for breast cancer
awareness and research within the next year.
Women of Color's biggest event was the annual Women of Color Week in March. Open to the
ntire university, the event featured activities such as a health forum, a play, movie night, and an
evening at TDU.
Hoping to diversify the student body and recruit more minorities, the Women of Color set up
information booths at several activities fairs such as Take-a-Look Day and African American Prospective
Students Weekend.
"Our focus there was to let freshmen women of color know that we're here for them as they make
their transition to college. We want to help them grow and develop personally and intellectually," said
President Jennifer Johnson. By Katie Russo

. the boys. "Milk and cereal!" cheered the girls again. "Cereal and
milk!" screamed the boys in high pitched voices that echoed across the fields.
The Ultimate Frisbee Club men's and women's teams often cheered together
before the start of their games to psyche each other up.
Due to the overwhelming number of women who wanted to join the
team, the club split into separate men's and women's teams. The men still
kept their name, the Flying Hellfish, while the women were affectionately
called the Bitch Monkeys. "I am very pleased about having a women's team at
this school now. I am also very impressed how organized and structured the
team is already in this very first year of playing," said senior Ron "Bert"
Turner, president of the men's team.
Both teams participated in the Chesapeake Fall College Championship
league and various tournaments all over the East Coast and did extremely
well. Both on and off the field, the Hellfish and Monkeys were a close group
of people. "The frisbee team is a collection of really unique, and sometimes
odd, people. I'm proud to say I'm one of them," said senior Julie Demeester.
The teams often partied together on weekends and were found causing a
ruckus around campus. Several members of the Hellfish lived together in
the Frisbee House located on Mason Street, and in the Frisbee Flat in
Hunter's Ridge. When asked about the future of Ultimate Frisbee at the
university, junior Allie "Hotstufif" Barber said, "our future is so bright we
have to wear shades." By Laura Creecy

WOMEN'S CLUB
■
' I *he Womens Club Volleyball team entered their fifth year as a university recognized
JL organization arid defended their national ranking of 17 among club teams. Due to the
number of girls interested in playing, they split into two teams, A and B. According to President
Kathy Munoz, "we are a sports organization striving to better our national standings this year. We
slay several teams across the state as well as around the nation."
In March 2000, the women traveled to Reno, Nev. to play in the 16th Annual National Intramural-
Recreation Sports Association Collegiate Volleyball Tournament. The team went into the tournament
ranked 24th but left ranked 17th among 36 teams.
The women started the fall traveling to the University of Miami of Ohio and playing in a 20-team
tournament. They finished as the runner-ups in the silver division finals. Then in November, the
team hosted their annual Invitational Tournament at UREC. The A team finished second in the
tournament behind Appalachian State's A team. The A team split with Virginia Tech and William
& Mary in the first round and then defeated University of Maryland's B team. In die quarterfinals,
the women beat Virginia Tech and then the University of Maryland Baltimore County in the semifinals.
The teams streak came to end in the finals as they lost to Appalachian State 25-20 and 25-23.
The B team also participated in the tournament and finished fifth out of 1 2 teams. They beat
Appalachian States B team and then lost to the University of Maryland's A team and split with
UNC-Greensboro. They made it to the quarterfinals but lost to the tournament champions, Appalachian
State's A team.
Munoz attributed the team's success to their commitment and dedication to the sport and their
camaraderie. "What makes us unique is our commitment on and off the court. In playing we have
become best friends and extend that friendship to the community through our fundraising and volunteer
work." By Aimee Costello

The mission of the University Program Board (UPB) was to "serve
the ]MU community by using innovative ways to provide quality
education and entertainment for diverse audiences. We dedicate ourselves to
understanding JMUs programming desire and involving students in our
events. We pride ourselves on effective communication, encourage input from
all members, and strive to heighten awareness of our purpose."
UPB was comprised of an elected executive council of 14 undergraduates
and one graduate assistant and approximately 300 active volunteers. While
not .ill of the volunteers were regular participants, there was a very dedicated
core group that attended weekly meetings. Much of the volunteer involvement
was through assisting the UPB-sponsored major concerts. Considering the
scale of such an event and the 4-8 weeks ot planning, it was not surprising
that each event required 40 to 60 volunteers.
"On average we do 20 to 25 events per semester," said Chris Stup,
Coordinator for Student Organizational Services. "But most of those are
smaller events, co-sponsorships with other organizations, bands out on The
Commons, performers down in Taylor Down Under and all of the Grafton-
Stovall movies. They're not the big, nationally-known concerts, so the majority
of the public probably doesn't realize that we do that many events per semester."
The main programming areas included committees focused on cinematic
events, musical events, issues and cultural awareness, and variety entertainment.
The support committees were hospitality, technical services, advertising
and public relations. Together these groups covered everything from the travel,
lodging and catering needs tor artists and guests to advertising for the
events to working the sound and light boards.
UPB committees worked together to sponsor huge events like the annual
Talent Jam, and low-key events such as "Sex Rules" speaker, Maria Falzone.
Stup said, "Those are the smaller programs that not a lot of people get to see,
but you wish you could do a show like that in Wilson hall and 1 ,300 people
would come out and see it. It was such a good quality show, fun and educational.
And we do a lot of those type of events." By Becca Worthington

WOMEN'S WATER
■
i40
In its fourth year, the Women's Water Polo team was the largest it had ever been with
dedicated members. The team attracted seasoned water polo players as well as those who were
unfamiliar widi the sport. Senior Molly Evenson noted that "it's fun to see girls come in who can't even
tread water and watch diem turn into water polo rock stars!" The camaraderie that developed between
the members of the team was something that Evenson acknowledged as one of her reasons lor remaining
on the team for so long.
Throughout the year, the team participated in scrimmages against UV'A, Virginia Tech and Eastern
Carolina University and won each of them. Each year the team was invited to the UNC Chapel Hill
Tournament and Evenson said, "we keep placing better every year and this year we plan to win."
Evenson's confidence in her team came tram its demonstrated athletic ability. In order to finance the
team's travel from one scrimmage to another, the team sponsored various poster sales and worked the
concession stands at football games. In addition, each member of the team was required to pay dues
that covered some of the travel expenses to and from each of their scrimmages.
The team practiced at the UREC pool four days a week to ensure that diey would play their best
in matches and tournaments. At practices, members swam and devoted time to body conditioning,
drills, and scrimmages. Evenson admitted that she and her teammates got along better outside the
pool because scrimmages could get "pretty intense" because when they weren't in the water, the girls
"are not getting scratched, kicked and slammed" which was routine at their practices.
The team did special team building activities to make new members feel welcome including an
ice cream social and a Friends watching party. To make sure that everyone on the team felt welcome,
Evenson said, "We also have little sisters so that the older girls get to know the younger girls and they
can go out and bond over lunch and odier activities." The team earned recognition as the Sports Club
of the Month in October partly because of their participation in the Walk for Multiple Sclerosis in
which they earned more than $800 for the cause. By Victoria Leavellc

In addition to cheering for the football team painted in purple and
yellow, the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau could also be found cheering
on the sidelines of the youth soccer fields. The brothers participated in coaching
children's soccer teams for the past two years. As a newly formed fraternity,
the brothers of ZBT strove to further the "growth of the individual into a
mature responsible member of society." Brotherly love, integrity, social
responsibility and intellectual awareness were the four principles followed
to achieve their growth.
Founded in November of 1998, the university chapter was chartered
in 1999 and had a membership of 40 brothers. The year anniversary of the
charter was celebrated on December 4. One unique characteristic of the
ZBT chapter was the abolishment of the concept of pledging.
Senior Ron Thistlethwaite stated that the new members were "still
educated but the separation between brothers is forgotten. One freshman is
even on the executive board," affirmed junior Erik Kemp, "and we encourage
every brother to do their part."
Historically a Jewish fraternity, ZBT was proud of its non-sectarian
tradition. A portion of the brothers performed various service projects for
the synagogue in the community and restored computers donated to the
local Salvation Army. Additionally, ZBT gained national prominence by
accepting numerous awards at the 2000 National Convention in Newport
Beach, Ca. These awards were earned in the categories of philanthropy,
service, internal programming, recruitment, and a President's Citation for
Overall Excellence. Chapter President and a member of the National
Fraternity's Board of Directors, senior Nathan Seltzer, presented a segment
of the keynote address during the convention. By Kirstin Reid

IP orty members strong, the Women's Lacrosse Club consisted of dedicated team members
JL who enjoyed playing for fun but also appreciated the discipline of the sport. The club provided
an opportunity for women to continue playing lacrosse throughour college because Harrisonburg did
not offer any kind of organized lacrosse leagues.
The Third Annual Lacrosse Tournament held in April was a weekend-long tournament hosted by
the university and 7-8 other teams. Among their competitors were VATech, the University of North
Carolina Charlotte, and Clemson. The games started on Friday and continued through Saturday, wrapping
it up with a championship game on Sunday.
The lacrosse women were kept just as busy off the field as they were on it. The majority of the
members participated in the annual MS Walk that began at Duke Hall and continued around the
community of Harrisonburg. They also held many fundraisers for their team such as vendor days
and car washes. On Monday nights from 7-9 p.m. ar a local Burger King, the club received a certain
percentage of their receipts donated to them by customers.
The club began five years ago with a mere 1 1 members and its popularity grew tremendously.
Try-outs drew over 100 women interested in the sport. That figure was narrowed down to 40, still a
large number with only 1 1 players on the field at a time. In the fall, practices were held 3 days a week
for two hours and an additional day of practice was added in the spring to prepare for upcoming
tournaments. By Andrea Flanary

United bv the friendships they formed, the sisters ol the Gamma
Kappa chapter ol Zeta Tau Alpha continuously displayed caring
spirits through their support ol various worthy causes. When the mother
of a ZTA sister died from breast cancer the previous year, the entire sorority
drove to Norfolk, Va. to attend a benefit soccer tournament in her memory.
High school soccer teams from the area participated in the event raising
over $10,000 for breast cancer research.
Spreading their message about breast cancer awareness to the females
of the university, sisters distributed pink ribbons on The Commons and hung
shower cards in the stalls of campus residence halls with instructions on how
to perform a self-breast exam. They also hoped to organize a dance-a-thon
with Delta Epsilon Chi during the spring semester that would further benefit
their national philanthropy, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
"Everyone is very committed to our philanthropy and always participates
since it affects all women at some point," said senior Maura Garvey.
The sisters community service projects extended into the Harrisonburg
area as well. Howard, a resident of the nearby Avante Nursing Home and the
adopted grandfather of ZTA, was a special presence in the sisters' lives.
"Howard really likes having visitors and we're always very happy to spend time
with him," said Garvey.
FormaJs, mixers and sober barbeques brought the girls closer to one
another giving them the chance to relieve the pressures of academics. Forming
bonds through social activities was one of the most important aspects of
their sisterhood. "I've met so many people through this organization and
I know it will help me through the rest of my life," said junior Claire
Matthews. By Christina Cook

WXJM
Couldn't find anything to listen to on the radio? Were you tired of the same-old, same-old?
Broadcasting at 88.7 FM for a little over a decade, WXJM, the university's student-run
radio station, provided listeners with a true listening alternative that valued musical freedom and
creativity. Sporting walls papered with hundreds of band-stickers and album covers, the station
broadcast 24 hours-a-day during the academic year. WXJM was "a total immersion in the music
industry," said General Manager, Nathan Marsh. With over 200 active members, it had, "...one of
the most diverse memberships of. any campus organization,'' said Marsh.
WXJM sponsored Cool-Aid, a concert fundraiser for a local charity and participated in several
other projects during the year. Their annual Mid Atlantic College Radio Conference (MACRoCk)
created in 1997 and held each spring "showcased all that college radio stands for independence,
musical freedom, creativity, diversity, and professional experience," said Marsh. It was a weekend
dedicated to the progress of college radio and independent music and included more than 75 bands,
over 30 record labels, and various panelists. The event attracted thousands of college DJs and music-
lovers to the university. Eager concert-goers were given the opportunity to talk with band members,
watch live performances and discuss their appreciation of college radio.
The station "went FM" in 1990 and ever since then, had been a home tor independent artists
and music. Providing students with a hands-on learning environment, it gave them experience in
the radio field and provided a source of musical recreation. Governed by the rules established by the
FCC, State of Virginia, and the university's Board of Visitors who held their license, WXJM was
required to operate in the public's interest, convenience, and necessity. The radio station was not
only transmitted to the university campus, but also to listeners in the surrounding Harrisonburg
community as well as Staunton, Bridgewater, Dayton, and Broadway. By Andrea Flanary

The staff put in coundess hours at the yellow submarine i.aLt:
OUT office) CO make dus book happen and deserve all the credit
for this book. I hope thev enjoyed this year as much as I did.
Their hard work has definitely paid oft and is evident in this
book. Whether we win another award does not matter, the
only thing that matters is that we produced another great book
and wc did it together. Of course, an award would be nice.
I came to the Bluestone office as a freshman because I
wanted access to a darkroom and a reason to shoot. Somehow,
I ended up with responsibility' - responsibility that with the
completion of this book I gleefully pass along to someone else.
There was long work, drudgery, and sacrifice, and an
inexplicable phobia of windowless yellow rooms. There were
fights, exhaustion, and stories good enough to tell my grand-
children. Then again, some of those stories probablv shouldn't
be told to children. 1 missed class, I missed sleep. . , sometimes
1 missed saniry... Bur 1, and others, kept coming back for
more. What irrefutable proof of something worthwhile!
Being a photographer for the Bluestone kept me aJwavs in
the midst of the action and surrounded by the vibrancy of
JMU that made this university more than a collection of
buildings. Being a member of the Bluestone staff made me
part of a community of talented and (mostly) determined
people working toward a common goal. Having a kev to the
Bluestone office gave me a place to crash between classes. The
Bluestone not only tried to encapsulate the experience of a
university in 504 pages, but was, in a sense, a distillation of
all the things I loved about JMU.
Of course, this book would never have been so successful
or well-loved without the people - many friends - who staffed
it. To all of you who supported me, vou have mv thanks. To
all of you I frustrated, irritated, or otherwise offended, I
apologize. To Steve, Melissa. Rachel, Statia, Kathcrine, Rick,
Wendy, Todd, Becky. Scott, and all ol you from previous
books, thanks! You were great friends. To Leah: there were
a few rough moments, but you alone embody my love for
yearbook - I will never forget you and hope that we will
remain friends far into the future.
The staff of this book made mv final year as a Bluestone
staffer my favorite by far. This staff was an exceptional
combination of talent and accomplishment. To ail of you,
thank you for this year. To Aimee, as Pat McGee said. You
arc the best editor EVER!"... and Pat ain't Win'1 lb Kristen,
I'll be in touch about that magazine - just give me a few years.
To both of you, thank you for being such great friends and
partners- in-c rime. To Mandy Kane: you arc SO done! To
.ill of my faithful photOSS - vou ROCK! Photog-snlidaruv
forever! (No one reads the articles anyway) Yours always,
#00. And to Kirstin ... finding you was the most beautiful
thing about this experience. I love you.
And that's all. The Bluestone was nirvana and a
all at the same time. But I have no regrets. I'm
luck to future Bluestonesi

I fought this, I really did. After last year I swore I would
never conic back. But the pull of the yellow walls, the hum of
the failing Macs and the pleas of in)' dear friend and editor
brought me back for one more round on the Bluestone staff.
The time and dedication necessary to pull off a 504-page
publication were what scared me then, but thev are also what
make me proud now. Although dubbed an extra-curricular
activity, being a part of the Bluestone staff basically means
your only free rime is that which you spend in class ot the few
hours you can spare to sleep. But it's all worth it. Although
I may have complained once or twice, there really is something
amazing about knowing examples of your hard work are in
8,600 books for anyone and everyone to see. And at the risk
of sounding like an after-school special, the best part of working
on this awesome stall was the incredible friendships I made.
■ First and foremost, 1 have to thank, applaud, and someday
out-drink Aimee, or as she calls herself, "the best editor in the
world! She truly is and she is what made this book such a
success. Without her dedication, hard work and borderline
obsessive-compulsive tendencies, we never would have met
every deadline or liad nearly as much tun doing it. It also helped
to have the promise of a deadline champagne celebration
thanks to my favorite photog director and the unfortunate
ear to many of my emotional outbursts, Carlton. His pictures
made designing easy and I am so glad I got to know him so
well. And then there's the hyphen-queen, Christina. She's
got a lot more to her than meets the eve, as those of us who
witnessed her glow-stick skills at the Zei Club know. She
may be hyphen-happy but you've got to give her credit for
voluntarily reading and re-reading every word that is in diis
book. And how could we survive any deadline without the
random outbursts and hilarious antics of everybody's favorite
rapper, Jizz Master Flash, a.k.a. Mandy. I've never met a
bigger goofball, talented designer or all-around awesome girl,
jazz-hands and all.
Designers: vou girls are awesome! You are all extremely
talented and you made my job so much easier. I wish you all
the best of luck in the years to come. And to the rest of the
stafn thank you SO much for all your hard work. We couldn't
have done it without you and I wish you luck and stress-
free days and nights in the future.
Thanks to my family for understanding and supporting me
through this huge ordeal and for sending me to this amazing
university. 1 love you all, and Holden, I promise Memesh
will be home from school soon! To my roommates Jane,
Annie and E: thanks for making time to hang out with me
the few times I was around! You're my favorite TV pals and
juggle-a-thon champs!
Thanks to Jerry Weaver and Brian Hunter for having faidi
in us and to JMU for feeding us on deadlines and at conferences.
This hook is a massive project that requires so many people
to make it successful and we were extremely lucky to have
the support that we did.
Last but not least, thank you to my mentor. Leah Bailey,
who is now living out her dream in New York. She taught
me so much and is responsible for setting the precedence of
this award-winning book.
I drink I'm done. Good luck to next year's staff and remember
to have fun! Once I am through the initial withdrawal period
I promise to come visit. But tor now, I'm jetrin .

The hardest part of being the copy editor wasn't coaching
! writers on their stories or spending seemingly endless nights
in the Bluestone office. By far, the source of my positions
frustrations boiled down to something I call my "hyphen
handicap," defined as the inability to correcdy identify those
ail-too important times when a hyphen is needed between
; two or more words. This deficiency led me to haphazardly
stick hyphens everywhere so I apologize to all of our readers
if hyphenated words seem to be used in excess.
And now it's time to reminisce ... After last year's
"masterpiece," having to create the 2001 yearbook was a
daunting task. Of course, dedication and hard wotk prevailed
and I'm proud to say this year's staff has created a magnum
. opus in its own right. After meeting our last deadline for
this 500-pager, I felt not only relieved (like someone had
removed a two-ton boulder from my back) but extremely
proud for heading up such a professional publication. I am
also grateftd for the many benefits that accompanied the
position like being able to jet around the country on the
university's dime for media conferences. I can only hope for
such a posirion in the real world.
On a personal note, I'd like to drank my fellow editors who
did a fabulous job ot staying on top of things throughout
the year and for all the free rides to and from the office. I
probably owe all ot vou a lull tank of gas. It's been a gre.u
experience but I don't think I m alone in saying that I'm glad
we're finished! 1 think I've had enough QKH to last the
rest of my life.
To the staff, I'd like to thank you for all of your hard
work and detetmination to make this book a success. 1
hope you had fun working with us and wish you luck
with next year's publication. You're a talented bunch and
there's no doubt in my mind that you will carry on the
award-winning Bluestone tradition.
I also have to extend some gratitude to my friends and
roommates who saw me through those challenging,
sleepless deadline weeks, listening to me moan and
complain and driving me to the Bluestone room. Thanks
for understanding the demands of my position and my
crazy schedule when attempting to make plans with me.
Ijsi but not least, I am indebted to my family for sending
me to this university in the first place. I couldn't have made
it through my four years here without your support and
guidance. And a special thanks to my grandmother, Joanne
Cook, who gave me a JMU legacy to live up to. I'm so glad
I enjoyed my time here as much as you did 50 years ago.
To anyone I forgot, thanks for the memories.

There was once a team called Features,
Composed of all the coolest creatures,
Five chicks and one guy,
Who were all too darn fly,
While other teams cheered from the
bleachers.
The Leader was Teisha Garrett,
Led us to Victory? You bet!
Had a few parking problems,
Was strong though and solved them,
And asked "Are we having fun yet?"
Then diere was an awesome designer,
Andi, we're so glad we found her,
Kept an eye on the Team,
She was the email Queen,
With strength that always surround her.
Laura, our getaway driver,
K4ore cunning than MacGyver,
Her car saved the day,
Used chips to act as "Lay's,"
Made all our meetings much liver.
Kirstin, who took such great pictures,
When shooting, guys tried to get
with her.
The miscounted ladder,
"Hey who dropped the crapper?"
Looked out for us like a big sister.
Last that guy who was so clever,
Cyprian, who never said never,
He's the one who said,
"Honey an arm and a leg!"
And proclaimed "Sweatpants Forever!"

One of our writers named Mandie,
Had a smile sweet as candy,
Her cell phone stayed there,
They stole her underwear,
But she kept her head up outstanding.
This ends our Feature team story,
A year that we never found boring
On point from the start,
We all had a crush on Mark,
Now we just bask in the Glory.

The sun rose again as the staff
members of the classes section got ready
for another deadline. Those who had
morning classes got up while others who
were lucky enough not to have classes until
the afternoon chose to sleep in.
Throughout the year, whether it was
skipping meetings, eating FCit-Kats or
paying $1 for leftover trash, the yearbook
office was bursting with activity. There
were numerous reasons why the classes
section loved the yearbook, including the
closeness of its members due to their
questionable sense of humor and vulgarities
about... well, pretty much everyone,
including each odier. However, the classes
section agreed that the thing that made
the yearbook the best was the help of the
"wonderful" volunteers. "We often brag
about our ability to use old TV shows/
song tittles/ movie titles for our headlines,"
says Leigh Todd.
All in all, die yearbook was a unique
experience for students who were lucky
enough to share the experience. Students
in the classes section had section pride.
"We've got the best group of friends,
Dawson's Creek parties, and when we do
something, we go all out and do it right,"
said sophomore fearless leader Sally Duff.
Cyprian Mendelius - "Padow! We got your lays!"
Allison Miracco & Laura Lindsay
chillin' at class pictures.
Christina Cook, Laura Creecy, Justin Timberlake,
Melissa Bates & Jeff Morris - "Oh my God, we
just got a picture with Justin Timberlake from
'NSync!"- Melissa, "Who?"- Scott Bayer
Organizations
This is a look into the Organizations
section through "Music." Our team was
compiled of members with "The Right
Stuff" and "No Scrubs." The fearless leader
and "Brown eyed girl", Victoria, designing
diva and "Independent Woman", Jennifer,
busy bee writer and "Girls just wanna have
fun", Laura, and easy-going photographer
the "Big Pimpin ", Terrance. The section
went through a few "Changes" diroughout
the semester, losing two members, Jennie
and Adrianna. At the beginning of the year
we stalked organizations, "We Just Called
to Say" we need your money and informa-
tion! The writers wrote stories and Victoria
edited out all the "Country Grammar."
The organizations computer would often
"Crash" and we'd all say, "It Wasn't Me!"
We all said "Sorry Ms. Jackson (Costello)"
when we were a little behind on a deadline,
and after that we'd simply say "Oops, We
Did it Again." But throughout the year our
Sports
10. Girls who know sports... or at least pretend to.
| 9. The freedom to harass and stalk athletes and
coaches.
8. Press passes that allow us to enter just about
anywhere ... hold up ... we never had press passes
... right, that is completely unfair ...
7. The ability to turn in all stories, photos and
layouts waaaaay ahead of time.
6. Extensive knowledge about every apartment
complex in the 'burg ... unfortunately.
5. Expertise in knowing how to REALLY annoy
the editorial staff.
4. The ability to repeat every line or 'Office Space ...
verbatim ... yeah, I don't know how much the
rest of the staff liked this one ...
3. Supreme athletic ability... stop laughing Aimee
2. Knowing how to lie and mean it... "I'll get that
to you ASAP Aimee!" ... see how easy that was.
1. Free whip cream pie! ... although, the editorial
staff also gets free pie ... hmmm, peculiar.
VICTORIALEAVELLE
section became "Stronger" and "Kyrptonite"
couldn't have broken us up. At times things
got a little "Crazy" and we wanted to "Fly
Away." But we were "Hangin Tough" and
"Expressed Ourselves" and were soon able to
resume "Workin 9 to 5." To the practicum
students who helped us out we'd say "You're
my Angel" and we really saw "The shape
of their hearts" when we needed them most.
While we worked in the office, we brought
in CDs so we could "Shake Our Bon-Bons"
and "Whistle While We Worked." Our
completed section was better than "Ameri-
can Pie" and we all said, "You Can't Touch
This!" As the year came to a close we all
made a lot of "Memories," and we all "Had
the Time of Our Lives." We'd like to give
a shout out to all of our "Friends in Low
Places," you know who you are. "It's so
Hard to Say Goodbye," but we've gotta,
so "Bye, Bye, Bye!"
