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.

Looking  for  a  change  of 

perspective  and  a  place  to  spend 

a  few  leisurely  hours,  junior 

Howard  Morrison  climbs  to 

EXTREME  heights,  settling  in 

the  branches  of  an  old  tree 

located  on  the  Quad.  Proving 

that  times  had  truly  changed,

in  the  early  days  of  Madison 

College,  (its  former  name),

students  were  prohibited  from

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

present  day  and  the  Quad 

o 

was  typically  bustling  with 

activity.  Students  could  be 

found  lounging  on  the  grass 

catching  some  rays,  playing 

games  and  even  attending  class 

when  professors  decided  to 

take  advantage  of  particularly 

warm,  beautiful  weather.

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

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

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

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

BY  GULLEY 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

an  outside  hitter." 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


BYAIMEECOSTELLO    MANDIE 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

72  Straight  Hours 
Independent  Bands 


BY  SHOWALTER    CHRISTINA 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Let  me  win.  But  if  I 

cannot  win,  let  me  be 

brave  in  my  attempt." 

-The  Special 

Olympics  motto 


BYLEIGHTODD 

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

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

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

in  the  right  heat  and  divisions,  felt  that  the  "number

'I'd  like  to  see  this  event 


evolve  into  a  truly  memo- 
rable experience..." 
-Dr.  Carney

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

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 
and  highlight  of  our  trip  was  seeing  our  goalie,  Daniel 


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

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

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

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

and  place  among  the 
the  Mid-Atlantic 


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

smester  or  my 


BYMATTHOGAN 

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

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

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

TO  THE  BIG  APPLE 


BYMICHAELBUSTARD 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As  for  my  performance,  it  was  less  than 


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

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


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

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

to  catch  the  famous  beer-chugging  and  wet  T-shirt  contests 
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

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


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

we  loved  the  Stanley  Thomas  Science  Hall.  •  After 

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

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

going  to  claim  our  stake.  Our  first  night  in 

the  Big  Easy  was  great  with  one  exception. 

Cyprian  Mendelius,  one  of  our  carmates, 

never  came  home.  The  next  morning  we 

discovered  he  had  been  arrested  and  was 

missing  teeth.  Needless  to  say,  it  put  a 

damper  on  the  trip  when  we  had  to  leave 

Cyprian  at  the  airport.  Although  his  trip 

was  violently  cut  short,  he  got  the  pleasure 

of  meeting  Raekwon  of  the  Wu-Tang 

Clan  at  an  Atlanta  airport.  •  New 

Orleans  was  in  fact  the  Big  Easy  on  many 

levels,  as  my  other  carmate  Thomas 

Steinfeldt  would  agree,  after  being  hit  on 

repeatedly  by  another  male  party-goer. 

Over  the  next  two  days  we  saw  many

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


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

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


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

BYLORIBIANCHET  •  My  mind  was  set  in  early 

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


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

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

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


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

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

BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS 

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. 

All  of  the  students  bonded  (continued  on  p.  96)

(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

Phillips  takes  a  time- 
out to  answer  a  phone 
call.  Sales  of  portable 
devices  such  as  pagers,

over  the  year. They 
began  to  appear  at  every 
function  and  ring  at  the 
most  inoppurtune  times.

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,

contributed  to  the 

success  of  Napster.as

two  programs  were  the 

most  commonly  used 

software  for 

downloading  MP3s.

to  voice  his  opinion

(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

hesitations  about  living  on  the  row  but  they  found  it  was  a  quick  walk 
to  classes  and  created  a  bonding  experience.  Photo  by  Kirstin  Reid 


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)

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

BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS 

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

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

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


extension 
of  the  heart 


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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

IMPRESSIONS

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

the  name  was  changed  to  James  Madison  University.  for  specifics. 


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 


It  was  also  a  great  resource  for  the  public,  allowing 
reporters  access  to  photos  and  statistics  on  university 
athletes.  Michael  witnessed  continual  growth  with 
the  addition  of  women's  soccer  and  Softball  teams 
and  the  construction  ot  the  Convocation  Center 
where  the  basketball  games  were  held  instead  of  the

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

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)

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Before  kickoff  at  the  football  game  on 
Parent's  Weekend,  Peter  Colosi  and  Kristine 
Tunney  were  announced  as  the  new  Mr.  and 
Ms.  Madison.  The  two  were  chosen  among 
eight  finalists  for  being  the  embodiment  of

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

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

want  to  have  a  party." 

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

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.

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

-Benjamin  Franklin 


vVITH  VARIOUS  SOCIAL  AWARENESS  ORGANIZATIONS, 

Student  Government  Association  President 


WAS  A  MAN  OF  ACTION,  NOT  JUST  WORDS 


BYCYPRIANMENDELIUS 

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

THERE'S  A  WHOLE

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

THE  BEST 


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

BYTEISHAGARRETT 

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)

DECISIONXCO 

(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

It's  kind  of  scary.  I  think  it's  just 
a  way  to  escape  into  a  world 
where  everything  is  so  bizarre 
that  my  busy  life  of  college  and

FRIENDS 

My  roommates  and  I  are 
especially  addicted  to  Friends. 
We  watch  the  reruns  at  7p.m. 
and  1 1  p.m.  On  Thursday  nights 
at  8,  everyone  who  is  home 
gathers  on  the  couch  to  watch 
the  new  episodes.  We  are  so 
addicted  that  if  one  of  us  is  gone 
on  a  Thursday  night  someone 
will  record  the  show.  It's  pretty 
scary  that  all  of  us  can  quote 
lines  from  various  episodes.

I  got  hooked  on  Ed  a  few 
months  ago  when  I  was 
staying  in  Northern  Virginia 
with  a  friend's  family.  I  began 
watching  it  with  them  every 
time  I  was  over.  It's  the  only 
show  I  watch  and  I  can't  miss 
an  episode  now.  Ed  is  one  of 
my  heroes.

BYCYPRIAN 

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

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

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

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

well-surpassed  by  about 

500  toys.  Photo  courtesy 

ofTheta  Chi 


(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

o 


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 
Dr.  King's  message  today.  "Remember  what  brought 
us  here,"  said  Fleece.  "Make  it  so  the  next  generation 
will  not  have  to  do  as  much  as  we  did." 

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

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

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

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

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

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


Student  Alliance,  introduced  the  guest  speaker,  Derrick       will 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

ITERS 


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

Her  involvement  with  Zirkle  House,  the 
student  run  art  gallery  on  Main  Street  across  from  the

Zirkle  House  director  at  the  time.  Smith  became  a 
gallery  assistant  for  two  semesters  and  assistant  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

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

THE  ORIGINAL  DESIGN  LIES  IN  EASY 
reach  for  the  students  to  refer  to. 
The  design  was  presented  to  the 
principal  of  Spotswood  Elementary 
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) 


"One 
cannot 
forget  how 
import  (tut 
the  creative 
process 
is  in

(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.

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

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

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

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

Whether  students  took  the  classes  in  their  final 

semesters  due  to  lack  of  planning  or  out  of  a  desire 

to  get  a  more  complete  education,  the  trend  of 

seniors  taking  GenEd  classes  would  undoubtedly 

continue.  THEEND

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


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

DECK 


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


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

more  than 

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. 


SENIOR  CLASS  CO-CHAIRS  SARAH

sponsor  Brooke  Ross  ('92).  The  steering 
commmittee  was  formed  last  spring 
to  research  gift  ideas,  plan  publiciity 
and  recruit  team  leaders  to  raise  funds.

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

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)

a  perfect 

day  and 
it  was 
completely 
our  own. "

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

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

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


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

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

Conover.  This  is  why  Conover,  a  senior  international 
business  major  and  German  minor,  chose  to  apply  to 
the  Peace  Corps.  "The  kind  of  situations  they  put  you 
in,  they  force  you  to  get  immersed  in  the  society," 
she  said. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

KIDS 
in  the 
HALL 


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


"I  thought 

it  was 

a  great 

opportunity 
to  create  a 

community. " 


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

supper  after  the  5  p.m.  mass  every 
first  Sunday  of  the  new  semester.

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

been  occupied  by  Christian  students 
since  1997.  It  was  tradtion  for  Camelot 
House  and  Camelot  Underground  to

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 

SENIOR  DAVID  GOULD  LEADS  THE 
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

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

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

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

Okay. 

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

GATHERING  ON  THE  ROOFTOP  OF 
their  house  on  670  Mason  St.,  the

One 

house, 

<'i<j/it 

guys, 

and  a 

on 

the  roof. 


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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


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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


on  certain  words. 

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

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

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

SCIENCE  &MATH 


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

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

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

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

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


which  gave  students  access  to  research  opportunities 
and  information. 

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

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

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

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

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

TOO  LATE 


"There  ore 
a  lot  of 
hours  in  the 

'  and 
I  just  fill 
them  with 
things  I 
like  to  do. " 

ACHIEVING  HER  LIFE  LONG  DREAM, 
Dottie  Edwards  works  hard  to 
balance  both  school,  work  and 
family.  Edwards  graduated  with  a 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  geography.

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

CHECKING  OUT  THE  LATEST  EDITION 
of  DYNAMIX's  new  website,  junior  Erin 
Dolan  thinks  up  ideas  to  add  to  the 
design  of  the  site.  DYNAMIX's  new 
site  would  be  designed  by  Dolan's 
brother.  Photo  by  Allison  Miracco 


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.

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

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

how  his  beliefs  encourage  him  to  make 
the  right  choices.  Griffith  was  always

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 


member  and  the  president  of  SIG- 
GRAPH, a  new  computer  graphics 
organization  on  campus  this  year. 
SIGGRAPH  was  created  to  bring 
students  wishing  to  go  into  computer 
graphics  together  in  order  to  learn 
hands-on  skills,  network  and  build 
resumes.  Photo  by  Allison  Miracco 


programs  to  students  such  as  Debabelizer  and  Photo- 
Shop and  explored  new  programs  as  they  were 
introduced  to  the  public.  The  group  also  kept  up  on 
the  job  market  and  formed  committees  to  keep  a  heads- 
up  on  career  opportunities  as  well  as  web  site  and 
publication  technology. 

Arrangements  were  made  to  have  special  guest 
speakers,  such  as  Fairfield  Technologies,  to  speak  at 
their  meetings.  Fundraiser  ideas  were  underway  to 
attend  a  national  SIGGRAPH  convention  in  Washing- 
ton, D.C.  where  the  ideal  opportunities  waited. 
"Sending  as  many  people  to  the  convention  is  the 
ultimate  goal  so  that  people  can  make  connections  in 
the  their  field  and  learn  more  about  upcoming 
developments,"  said  Davis.  Attending  an  official 
SIGGRAPH  chapter  meeting  was  on  the  list  for  the 
attending  students  as  well  as  resume  and  portfolio 
workshops  that  would  give  them  pointers  about 
entering  their  careers  as  captivating  new  talent. 

SIGGRAPH  was  a  new  organization  designed 
to  help  students  be  more  successful  in  both  their 
college  and  professional  careers.  The  club's  potential 
was  great  and  promised  to  educate  members  on  all 
aspects  of  computer  design  technology.        END

"It  stands  for  searching  out  the  positive  in  everything, 


Anew  club  was  formed  during  the  year  that 
promised  to  become  one  of  the  most 
successful  community  service  organizations 
at  the  university.  The  Optimist  Club  was  chartered  and 
existed  as  one  of  the  largest  and  most  active  commu- 
nity service  organizations  across  the  globe. 

The  75-year-old  Optimist  International  had  over 
4,200  chapters,  with  the  university  chapter  as  its  latest 
charter.  Approximately  160  members  strong,  the 
university  chapter  became  the  largest  Optimist  Club 
in  the  United  States  and  the  second  largest  in  the  world. 
In  order  to  become  affiliated  with  Optimist  Interna- 
tional, the  club  had  to  maintain  a  minimum  of  35 
members.  Affiliation  with  the  national  organization 
brought  benefits  such  as  a  subscription  to  The  Optimist 
magazine,  support  of  international  programs  of  service 
and  chapter  publicity. 

Senior  Matt  Hahne  started  the  club  after  helping 
his  mother,  the  president  of  an  Optimist  club  in  Norfolk, 


with  her  chapter.  When  Hahne  returned  to  school 
he  decided,  "It  was  just  something  I  needed  to  do.  I 
needed  to  leave  my  mark,  and  it's  also  a  great  cause." 
Hahne,  the  president  ot  the  university  chapter,  dedicated 
the  chapter's  community  service  goals  to  children. 

Getting  the  club  off  the  ground  was  not  an 
easy  task.  After  a  great  initial  turnout  in  interested 
members,  the  club  hit  a  dry  spell  in  activities.  The 
members  and  executive  board  had  plenty  or  ideas 
but  struggled  to  find  a  starting  point.  One  of  the  first 
projects  the  group  took  on  was  caring  tor  children 
while  their  mothers  took  part  in  a  women's  seminar 
at  the  Blessed  Sacrament  Catholic  Church  in  downtown 
Harrisonburg.  Members  volunteered  their  Saturdays 
to  play  games  with  the  children,  watch  movies,  and 
take  them  on  excursions  like  pumpkin  picking  for 
Halloween.  The  club  also  organized  a  canned  tood 
drive  tor  the  holidays  and  sold  candy  grams  tor  exam 
week.  But  more  than  anything,  the  club  worked  the

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

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 


to  be—t

attend  the  university.  She  felt  the  theater  department 
offered  her  a  "well-rounded  theatrical  education." 
Maske  enjoyed  working  with  Theater  II  because  she 
received  "hands-on  experience  with  different  acting 
styles  and  different  directors." 

Pleased  with  the  experience  she  had  gained  thus 
far,  Maske  was  supportive  of  Theater  II.  One  thing 
the  actors  and  spectators  often  forgot  was  that  the 
plays  performed  there  were  experimental  and  not 
intended  to  be  perfect.  She  felt  that  Theater  II  gave 
everyone  involved  a  "chance  to  do  a  bad  job  and 
learn  from  his  or  her  experience.  Not  every  show  is 
going  to  be  perfect." 

Ready  to  face  college  and  embrace  the  theatrical 
arts  with  on  open  mind  and  heart,  Maske  hoped  to 
incorporate  religion  and  philosophy  into  her  art.  With 
an  interest  in  pursuing  an  acting  or  costume  designing 
career,  Maske  felt  that  working  with  Theater  II  would 
continue  to  open  her  mind  to  new  challenges  and  push 
her  to  strive  harder  in  her  field.  She  said,  "I  want  to 
make  art  through  my  craft."  the  END

DR.  EATON  DEMONSTRATES  HIS  LOVE 
for  geology  both  in  teaching  and  his 
involvement  with  the  United  States 
Geological  Survey  (USGS).The  trip  to 
Venezuela  and  his  involvement  with 
a  local  boy  scout  troop  allowed  him 
to  give  something  back  to  his 
community.  Photo  by  Kirsten  Nordt 


As  a  professor  at  JMU  with  his  "roots'  in 
Charlottesville,  Dr.  Louis  Eaton  took  what 
he  loved  to  do  and  put  it  to  use  where  it  was 
needed:  storm-ravaged  Venezuela.  After  the  previous 
years  devastating  landslide,  Eaton  flew  down  to  South 
America  for  two  weeks  in  April  to  assess  the  geological 
event  and  to  try  and  prevent  it  from  happening  again. 
While  he  was  there,  Eaton  worked  in  conjunction 
with  Venezuelan  scientists  and  conversed  in  Spanish 
with  the  "top  brass"  of  ministries  of  the  environment. 
He  made  a  return  trip  in  Julv  for  further  assessment. 
The  part-time  position  came  by  way  of  the  United 
States  Geological  Survey  (USGS)  to  fill  an  open  spot 
and  provide  extra  help  in  mapping  out  the  land.  Eaton 
witnessed  so  many  people  living  such  poor  lives  but 
was  overcome  by  the  incredible  joy  they  displayed  despite 
everything.  "They  always  seemed  to  be  happy  as  if  it 
were  Christmas. ..diving  into  the  water  as  it  it  were 
ice  cream,"  said  Eaton. 

When  he  wasn't  mapping  out  the  land  in  Venezuela. 
Dr.  Eaton  was  busy  teaching  GSCI  102,  chemistry 
physics  in  human  experience,  hydrology  (how  water 
moves  through  the  ground),  and  geomorphology  (the 
study  of  surface  processes).  His  initial  interest  in  geology 
started  in  middle  and  high  school  when  he  was  a  boy 
scout.  Every  month  he  would  go  hiking  with  the  troop 


and  on  their  trips,  he  found  himself  looking  at  the 
mountains  and  wondering  how  thev  got  there. 

Eaton  attended  JMU,  taking  geology  courses 
with  Dr.  Sherwood  and  discovered  that  it  was  exactly 
what  he  was  looking  for  in  a  career.  After  graduating 
from  the  university  in  1988,  he  worked  as  a  geologist. 
He  continued  his  education  at  Southern  Illinois 
University  for  graduate  school  and  in  1991  returned 
to  take  an  instructor  position  at  the  university. 

After  three  years  here,  he  went  back  to  school 
again,  earning  his  Ph.D.  at  the  Universtiy  of  Virginia 
in  the  environmental  sciences  department  while  still 
teaching  part-time  at  JMU.  Even  though  he  spent 
the  majority  ot  his  time  in  Harrisonburg,  he  claimed, 
"my  roots  are  in  Charlottesville"  where  his  family, 
his  church  and  his  scout  troop,  (where  he  served  as 
Troop  Master),  were. 

Feaching  was  his  true  love,  but  his  favorite  part 
of  the  job  was  being  able  to  do  a  number  ot  different 
activities.  In  addition  to  his  duties  as  a  professor,  he 
worked  with  the  local  community  and  gave  civil  talks 
on  water  and  soil.  He  also  worked  with  farmers  around 
Harrisonburg  to  find  water  wells.  The  most  rewarding 
part  ot  his  job,  he  said,  was  hearing  about  the  success 
stories  of  his  former  students.  Their  stories  were, 
"...something  money  can't  buy,"  he  said,  th  eend

DIFFERENT 


RUM 


Being  a  musician  and  a  student  was  hard 
work  for  Andrew  Werner,  a  sophomore 
double  major  in  physics  and  math,  but  that 
didn't  stop  him  from  pursuing  one  of  his  passions. 
While  his  musical  interests  were  primarily  a  hobby, 
he  devoted  a  large  amount  of  time  to  his  band,  Okay 
Samurai,  comprised  of  three  other  members,  including 
his  brother  who  attended  the  University  of  Virginia. 
"It's  difficult  to  get  everyone  together.  It  was  the  same 
as  an  extracurricular  activity,  but  not  every  extracurricular 
activity  does  a  rock  version  of  Enya's  'Sail  Away,'"  he 
said.  "Every  college  student  had  so  many  different  things 
going  on  at  once  so  you  had  to  balance  your  time." 
Originally  called  Second  Nature,  the  band  released 
a  CD  under  that  name  and  submitted  it  to  a  website 
called  IUMA  tor  independent  musicians.  After  receiving 
a  threatening  e-mail  from  someone  who  claimed  they 
had  stolen  their  band  name,  the  guys  racked  their 
brains  tor  something  new.  "One  of  the  guys  just  came 
up  with  the  name  Okay  Samurai.  It  doesn't  have 
any  special  meaning  except  that  we  all  like  old  school 
kung  fu  movies,"  said  Werner. 

Along  with  juniors  Eugene  Jung,  Don  Simpson, 
and  Andrew's  brother  David,  the  band  had  been  formed 
while  the  four  were  in  high  school  together.  Since 
parting  ways  for  college,  they  still  found  time  to 
perform  together  and  record  new  music  whenever 
they  got  the  chance.  As  of  early  December  2000, 
they  had  not  had  a  chance  to  perform  at  the  university. 
Citing  the  problems  tor  performing  in  Harrisonburg, 


ENJOYING  A  QUICK  BREATHER 
between  sets,  sophomore  Andrew 
Werner  waits  for  his  band.Okay  Samurai, 
to  decide  what  song  they  are  going 
to  do  next.  The  band  described  their 
music  as  a  mix  between  Better  than 
Ezra  and  Weezer  with  a  punk  cover 
of  "Bye,  Bye,  Bye"  by  'NSync  thrown 
in.  Photo  by  Allison  Miracco 


Andrew  said  that  the  only  thing  they  could  do  would 
be  to  "open  for  a  better  known  band  at  Main  Street 
and  have  no  one  come  to  see  us.  We  don't  want  to 
do  that." 

UVA  was  their  main  stomping  ground,  exploding 
onto  Charlottesville's  music  scene  in  the  same  place 
where  the  Dave  Matthews  Band  got  theif  start.  Each 
member  brought  his  own  unique  musical  influences 
and  tastes  into  the  band.  For  Andrew,  punk  was  his 
current  music  of  choice.  "I  like  the  whole  punk  scene," 
he  said.  "I  started  off  on  MXPX,  a  punk  band  from 
Bremerton,  Wash,  and  I  never  looked  back."  Mixed 
in  with  their  original  pop/ rock  music.  Okay  Samurai 
was  known  to  do  cover  versions  of 'NSync's  "Bye, 
Bye,  Bye"  and  Paula  Abdul's  "Straight  Up." 

Andrew  said  that  the  best  thing  about  being  in 
the  band  was  their  jam  time.  "When  we're  all  together 
in  the  basement,"  he  said,  "we  just  jam  and  it  is  great." 
Although  he  had  no  plans  to  pursue  a  career  in  music, 
he  admitted,  "If  it  fell  in  my  lap,  I  would  take  it." 
The  band  had  said  from  day  one  that  they  would  stick 
together  unless  it  stopped  being  tun.  "I'm  having  a 
great  time  jamming  and  going  crazy  onstage  with 
these  slackers,"  he  said  laughingly.  "We  did  this  gig 
at  UVA  where  they  decked  out  the  house  with  palm 
tree  fronds,  tiki  torches,  and  goldfish  swimming  in 
a  kid's  pool.  It  was  a  Survivor  theme  party.  Just  to 
be  at  that  party  was  cool,  but  to  be  playing  onstage 
...  that  was  a  cool  teeling  and  a  half.  It  doesn't  get 
much  better  than  that."  theend

AS  A  SOPHOMORE  RESIDENT  ADVISER

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

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

and  yellow  cards.  The  ride  board

"You

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

TRYING  TO  GET  THE  MOST  FOR  HER 
money,  freshman  Rachele  Contreras 
works  on  cleaning  the  lint  trap  before 
starting  her  load  of  laundry.  Although 
forgotten  by  most  students,  the  lint  trap 
was  the  key  to  a  successfully  dried 
load  of  laundry.  Photo  by  Kirsten  Nordt.

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

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

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

Freshmen 
put  their 
lore 
to  the  test 
when 
engaged 
in  long- 
distance 
relationships.

Stephanie  Bridge  contemplates  telling 
him  that  she  is  going  to  drive  the  five 
hours  to  surprise  him  with  a  visit.

way  to  keep  in  touch  with  friends  far

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

life 


FRESHMAN  ALYSON  PAQUETTE  CALLS 
up  to  her  friend  to  hurry  while  she 
and  freshman  Carlee  Brueser  wait  to 
go  to  lunch.  Paquette  said  that  she 
was  happy  to  hear  that  Logan  was 
turned  from  all-female  to  coed  this 
year.  Photo  by  Allison  Miracco 


The  sounds  of  laughter  and  voices  wafted 
across  the  Quad  as  students  contentedly 
snuggled  under  trees  to  study  or  catch  a 
quick  snooze  before  their  next  class.  Shirtless  guys 
could  be  seen  playing  Ultimate  Frisbee  while  other 
students  sat  on  the  grass  and  talked  to  their  friends. 
Ah,  the  joys  of  living  in  the  Bluestone  area. 

"I  love  living  in  Ashby  despite  the  occasional 
chicken  factory  smell  because  it's  on  the  Quad,"  said 
freshman  Mollie  Helton.  "It's  awesome  being  able  to 
stretch  out  on  the  grass  and  read  a  book  whenever  I 
want  to." 

Helton  was  one  of  a  handful  of  freshmen  fortunate 
enough  to  live  by  the  Quad.  Due  to  an  increased 
number  of  freshmen  students,  Bluestone  residence 
halls  were  opened  to  the  incoming  freshmen,  a  privilege 
usually  reserved  for  upperclassmen.  Hoffman  remained 
a  traditional  freshmen  residence  while  Logan,  formally 
an  all-female  upperclassmen  hall,  became  a  newly 
designated  freshmen  residence.  Gifford  also  started 
housing  freshmen  in  addition  to  its  upperclassmen 
residents  and  Ashby  opened  its  doors  to  international 
students  with  every  class  status. 

Those  who  weren't  lucky  enough  to  have  the 
opportunity  to  live  in  the  Bluestone  buildings  as 
freshmen  thought  the  change  was  unwise  and  unfair 
citing  it  was  a  privilege  that  should  be  reserved  for 


upperclassmen.  "I  think  that  only  mature  freshmen 
should  be  allowed  to  live  in  the  Bluestone  buildings  so 
they  can  realize  how  lucky  they  are.  Immature 
freshmen  shouldn't  live  here  because  they  would  take 
what  they  have  for  granted,"  said  sophomore  Erin 
Brakensiek. 

Living  on  the  Quad  proved  advantageous  to 
freshmen  getting  used  to  the  new  college  scene.  "Living 
here  is  great,"  said  freshman  Angelica  Carino,  "We're 
located  right  at  the  heart  of  the  campus  which  is  a 
lot  of  fun  but  we're  kind  of  spoiled  because  everything 
is  just  a  five-minute  walk  away." 

Besides  the  close  proximity  to  academic  buildings 
and  dining  facilities,  another  advantage  included 
the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  the  coveted,  historical 
residences  were  a  bonus  usually  reserved  for  upper- 
classmen. In  comparison,  Bluestone  rooms  were  also 
more  spacious  than  the  typical  freshmen  residence 
room  with  higher  ceilings,  only  2-4  people  to  a 
bathroom  and  nicer  lounge  areas. 

Whether  they  liked  having  an  increased  amount 
of  living  space,  being  able  to  walk  to  classes  at  the 
last  minute,  having  the  Quad  in  their  backyard  or 
walking  to  a  nearby  thrift  shop  in  town,  freshmen 
gratefully  agreed  that  living  there  was  a  delightful 
and  memorable  experience,  theend

Hillside  residents  cite  hall  unity  as 


Resting  alongside  the  marching  band's 
practice  field,  adjacent  to  the  Rockingham 
Memorial  Hospital,  sat  the  Hillside  and 
McGraw-Long  residence  halls.  Housing  students 
since  1987  and  1984  respectively,  McGraw-Long 
and  Hillside  were  the  architecturally  typical  college 
residences  with  corridor-style  halls,  community  baths, 
coed  floors,  and  approximately  225  students  in 
each.  Special  features  such  as  air-conditioned  rooms, 
however,  made  these  "typical"  buildings  among  the 
most  attractive  places  for  freshmen  to  reside  on  campus. 
Residents  of  both  halls  agreed  that  the  advantages 
outweighed  disadvantages  significantly.  The  locations 
of  both  Hillside  and  McGraw-Long  were  exceptional 
because  of  their  close  proximity  to  dining  establish- 
ments like  PC  Dukes  and  D-hall,  and  major  student 


gathering  places  like  Carrier  Library,  Taylor  Down 
Under,  the  Quad  and  a  majority  or  the  academic 
buildings.  As  if  living  close  to  everything  wasn't  enough, 
the  students  boasted  about  being  close  to  Warren 
Hall  bookstore  and  mail  services  when  many  students 
from  other  sides  of  campus  had  to  walk  in  the  cold  or 
rain  to  receive  mail  or  pick  up  their  exam  booklets 
before  an  important  test. 

"Hillside  and  McGraw-Long's  location  is 
probably  the  best  on  campus  because  it's  adjacent  to 
nearly  every  important  building  for  freshman,"  said 
Hillside  resident  Nicole  Pennucci. 

Hillside  and  McGraw-Long  residents  cited  unity 
as  a  major  advantage  to  their  living  situation.  The 
resident  advisers  seemed  to  go  out  of  their  way  to 
program  at  least  two  exciting  hall  activities  each  week.

a  major  advantage  of  living  in  their  residence  halls. 


The  RAs  are  always  really  friendly  and  really  try  to 
;et  all  the  residents  involved  in  activities  to  meet  new 
people  and  try  new  things,"  said  freshman  Kevin  Lancor. 

A  spirit  of  community  was  displayed  creatively 
in  the  Hillside  3B  hallway  where  the  girls  painted  an 
underwater  scene  along  the  corridor  to  create  a  warmer, 
more  aesthetically  pleasing  environment.  The  girls 
valued  the  time  they  spent  together  during  hall  projects 
because  it  brought  them  closer  to  their  neighbors  and 
their  RA.  The  expectation  of  the  Hillside  RAs  was 
to  get  all  the  walls  painted  a  different  outdoor  scene 
to  make  the  Hillside  halls  more  attractive.  The  corridor 
set-up  for  the  dorms  was  especially  attractive  to 
freshmen,  giving  them  the  opportunity  to  peek  in  and 
say  'hi'  as  they  walked  down  the  hall. 

Separated  into  three  sections,  the  buildings 


sometimes  proved  burdensome  for  those  who  wanted 
to  get  to  know  people  in  other  parts  of  the  hall.  "In 
Hillside,  you  sometimes  have  to  go  out  of  your  way  to 
meet  people  that  don't  make  themselves  seen,"  said 
freshman  Kailey  Sheppard. 

The  stellar  location,  hall  unity  and  the  opportu- 
nity to  meet  lots  of  people  created  one  of  the  best 
living  environments  for  treshmen.  Sheppard  noted, 
"The  dorm's  lounge  area  is  one  of  the  best  things  about 
the  dorm.  We  have  a  ping  pong  table,  free  arcade  game 
and  pool  tables  which  really  help  us  when  we  just 
want  to  unwind  and  chill  out."  fheend

As  you  stood  in  the  long  line  of  students  waiting 
to  have  their  class  pictures  taken,  you  gave  yourself  a 
last  look  in  the  mirror  and  practiced  your  cheesy 
yearbook  smile.  Gazing  around,  you  noticed  the  others, 
who  were  also  waiting  patiendy,  picking  lint  balls  off 
their  sweaters  and  checking  their  hair  for  the  fifth  time. 

While  the  photographer  tried  unsuccessfully  to 
convince  a  stone-faced  student  to  show  his  pearly 
whites  and  "smile  for  the  camera,"  a  new  presence 
breezed  into  the  room  and  all  heads  turned.  Gasps  and 
snickers  were  heard  from  the  line  as  a  young  man 
dressed  in  an  off-the-wall  ensemble  strolled  in.  After 
coming  to  the  realization  that  he  had  not  wandered 
into  the  wrong  room  by  mistake,  you  couldn't  help 
uttering  the  words  "What  is  he  thinking?"  under 
your  breath. 

No,  these  weren't  students  who  were  colorblind 
or  simply  having  bad  hair  days.  So  what  were  they 
thinking  when  they  decided  to  forgo  the  traditional 
picture  day  primping  for  an  outrageous  getup?  To  most 
of  these  individuals,  picture  day  signaled  an  opportunity 
to  express  their  personality  through  their  wardrobe, 
hairstyle  or  even  an  enthusiastic  facial  expression. 

Students  like  Mark  Chapman  decided  to  include 
props  that  would  say  something  about  who  they  were 
and  the  lifestyle  they  led.  "I  brought  Kermit  with  me 
to  have  my  picture  taken  because  I  knew  that  he  (being 
very  photogenic)  would  be  a  great  addition  to  my 
photo.  So  much  of  college  is  about  friendship,  the  fun 
we  have  together  and  living  life,  and  I  truly  think  that 


Kermit's  person  manifests  the  qualities  of  the  easygoing 
college  guy,"  he  said.  "He's  adventurous  and  playful, 
yet  at  the  same  time  has  a  very  real  side  to  him.  He's 
not  a  super  genius  but  he  knows  what  he  likes  and 
loves  life.  And  like  most  college  guys,  he's  after  the 
woman  of  his  dreams  (for  him  that's  Miss  Piggy).  I'm 
happy  to  have  Kermit  with  me  in  the  photo  because 
I  think  we  are  a  lot  alike." 

Hoping  to  be  immortalized  forever  in  a  chapter 
of  university  history,  some  students  tried  their  hardest 
to  come  up  with  a  unique  way  to  pose  for  the  camera, 
thus  standing  out  from  the  hundreds  of  other  students 
on  their  page.  For  repeat  offenders,  it  had  become  an 
annual  tradition.  "Dressing  up  like  a  redneck  with  a 
mullet  and  a  ridiculous  look  on  my  face  was  just 
something  I  wanted  to  do,"  said  Joshua  Lookabill.  "It 
says  a  lot  about  my  personality.  The  first  time  I  did  it 
was  last  year  with  my  Bible  study  group  and  it  was  so 
much  fun,  I  just  had  to  do  it  again." 

Others  had  an  agenda,  intending  to  make  a 
statement  with  their  photo.  But  even  those  who  braved 
their  originality  for  the  masses  of  students  had  a  tar 
more  imposing  presence  to  contend  with  for  their 
decision:  their  mothers.  "I  did  it  to  do  something 
different,"  said  Hudson  Walker,  "and  I  wanted  to  [tick] 
my  mom  off." 

Submitted  for  your  approval,  the  Bluestone 
staff  dedicated  this  page  to  those  individuals  who 
weren't  afraid  to  be  different,  leaving  a  photographic 
representation  of  who  they  were  as  students  at  the 
university.  THEEND

O   DONNFtl 


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

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

KC CARTER 

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 


COACH  SHERMAN  DILLARD  GLANCES 
at  the  clock  during  a  last  minute 
timeout  in  a  close  game  against  UNC

always  there."  n  i  END

The  women's  basketball  team  returned  all  but  one 
player  from  lasi  year's  squad  as  it  headed  into  the  fourth 
season  under  Head  Coach  Bud  Childers.  The  Dukes 
returned  .ill  five  starters  from  the  2000  season,  seniors 
Mandy  White  and  StacevTodd,  junior  Hollee  Franklin, 
and  sophomores  Nadine  Morgan  and  Jess  Chicowicz. 
The  Dukes  also  returned  five  key  players  who  each 
saw  playing  time  last  season.  Childers  received  his  300th 
career  victory  in  his  18  years  coaching  on  December 
8,  2000  with  a  72-65  win  over  the  University  of 
Massachusetts.  ■  The  Dukes  won  their  first  home 
game  of  the  season  against  Mount  St.  Mary's,  81-67, 
which  marked  the  14th  season  in  a  row  the  Dukes 
have  won  their  home  season  opener.  Shanna  Price,  a 
sophomore  forward,  scored  20  points  and  had  1 1 
rebounds,  while  junior  forward  Katie  Hardbarger 
also  contributed  to  the  win  with  1  5  points  and  10 
rebounds.  Price  was  named  the  Colonial  Athletic 
Associations  women's  basketball  Player  of  the  Week 
ending  November  19,  2000,  after  averaging  20  points 
and  10.5  rebounds  in  the  Dukes  first  two  games  of 
the  season.  ■  In  another  victory  at  home  against  Towson, 
82  -  5 1 ,  the  Dukes  tied  a  school  record  with  six  players 
scoring  in  the  double  digits.  Allyson  Keener,  a  junior 
and  tri-captain,  came  off  the  bench  to  score  a  game 
high  1  5  points  and  hit  three  3-pointers.  Tri-captain 
Stacy  Todd  also  came  off  the  bench  to  score  1 1  points, 
with  Hardbarger,  Price,  Franklin,  and  Morgan  each 
contributing  10  points.  ■  The  women  also  defeated 
Virginia  Commonwealth  University  in  January,  in  a 
last  minute  come  from  behind  win,  64-62.  The  Dukes 
trailed  most  of  the  game,  and  were  down  the  entire 
second  half.  In  the  final  12  minutes  of  the  game  the 
Dukes  rallied,  with  Keener  hitting  three  3-pointers, 
and  Hardbarger  also  hitting  one.  Morgan  hit  two 
free  throws  in  the  last  minute  of  the  game  to  tie  it 
up  at  62.  VCU  missed  on  their  next  possession,  and 
the  Dukes  came  up  with  the  rebound.  After  a  timeout, 
Morgan  passed  the  ball  to  Todd  who  put  in  a  lay-up 
that  put  the  Dukes  ahead  with  7.5  seconds  left  to  play. 
VCU  attempted  to  tie  it  up,  but  a  blocked  shot  by 
Chicowicz  and  then  a  shot  by  VCU  that  fell  short  at 
the  buzzer  left  the  Dukes  on  top.  Morgan  was  named 
the  CAAs  Player  of  the  Week  ending  January  22,  200 1 , 
alter  helping  the  Dukes  by  averaging  14  points  and 
8.5  rebounds  in  two  conference  wins  against  American 
University  and  VCU.  theend

CHEERLEADING 


BY. CULLEY 

1  lardwork,  new  and  difficult  skills  and  teamwork  was 
the  power  behind  a  cheerieading  squad.  Hie  2001  squad, 
led  by  Coach  Greg  White-sell  and  Captain  Brad  Palmer, 
was  known  fen  its  clean,  creative  and  innovative  style. 
The  squad  awed  the  crowds  at  Bridgeforth  Stadium  in 
the  tall  and  they  entertained  the  tans  at  the  Convocation 
t.  \nier  in  the  winter.  ■  Promoting  and  representing 
the  school  was  the  squad's  primary  focus  as  well  as 
competing  at  the  National  Cheerieading  Association 
(NCA)  Nationals  in  Daytona  Beach,  Fla.  in  the  spring. 

■  The  cheerieading  squad  took  pride  in  supporting 
teams  such  as  football  and  both  mens  and  women's 
basketball.  In  an  effort  to  support  all  athletes,  the 
squad  also  attended  at  least  one  game  or  match  per 
season  tor  all  the  other  sports.  In  addition  to  their 
regular  cheer  duties,  they  participated  in  activities  and 
community  sen-ice  projects  such  as  Special  Olympics, 
March  of  Dimes,  Monster  Mash  and  The  United  Way. 

■  They  also  dedicated  many  hours  to  their  training, 
always  showing  a  strong  commitment  to  their  efforts. 
The  cheerleaders  averaged  20  hours  per  week  to  practice 
and  games  since  cheerieading  was  a  year-round  sport 
that  required  lots  of  dedication.  The  squad  had  Monday 
and  Wednesday  practices  at  dawn  and  in  the  afternoon 
on  Tuesday,  Thursday  and  Friday,  the  squad  practiced 
tumbling,  stunting,  baskets  and  pyramids.  Although

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


MAIN  FOCUS  THIS  YEAR  IS  ON 
supporting  the  teams,"  said  Jaclyn 
Marsano  who  cheered  for  the  Dukes 
for  two  years.The  cheerleaders  were 
also  active  in  the  Harrisonburg 
community  and  participated  in  projects 
with  elementary  students.  Photo  by

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

as  four  runners  finished  in  the  top  seven 
at  the  CAA  championships  to  give  the 
women  dieir  second  straight  tide.  The  Dukes 
had  five  women  receive  All-CAA  honors

respectively,  and  both  earned  All-Region

women's  season  by  saying,  "It  was  a  season 
that  started  with  questions  because  of  losing 
starters  from  last  year,  but  some  of  the

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

BYRACHF  ODONNELL 

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

and  how  well  they 
perform  each 
weekend,"  said 
Luckie.  Due  to  the 
graduation  of 
running  back  Curtis 
Keaton,  there  was  a 
critical  void  created 
in  the  Dukes' 
backfield.  Senior 
Delvin  Joyce  was 
given  the  duty  of 
filling  this  position 
which  he  executed 
successfully 
throughout  the  year 
Joyce  also  broke

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

BYRAPHF    Q   nONNFII 

Continuing  to  achieve  excellence  in  the  spring,  the 
men's  golf  team  finished  second  overall  in  the  Colonial 
Adiletic  Association,  making  it  the  team's  sixth  consecu- 
tive year  to  compete  at  the  East  Regionals.  This  success 
highlighted  the  selection  of  the  team's  coach,  Paul 
Cooden  who  was  honored  along  with  ODU's  coach  tor 
the  Co-Coach  of  the  Year  Award.  The  team  was  led  by 
seniors  Ben  Keefer,  Shane  Foster,  and  Scott  Polen 
throughout  the  season.  Polen  won  the  CAA  Champi- 
onship finishing  with  a  score  of  64  in  his  final  round. 
Co-Captain  Keefer  made  his  career  best  with  a  six  under 
par  66  in  the  second  round.  Sophomore  Chris  Cope, 
junior  Matt  Paulson,  and  Keefer  were  all  chosen  for 
the  spring  CAA  Scholar  Athlete  Award.  ■  The  season 
started  in  February  with  the  Emerald  Coast  Collegiate 
tournament  where  they  placed  1 2th  out  of  1 5  teams. 
During  spring  break  the  team  traveled  to  Savannah, 
Ga.  for  the  Wolverine  South  Invitational  and  placed 
sixth  out  of  17  teams.  As  they  traveled  farther  south  for 
the  Silver  Springs  Shore  Invite,  the  season  took  a 
promising  turn  for  the  Dukes.  In  every  following 
tournament  the  team  shot  a  298  or  less  as  they  continued 
to  climb  to  the  top.  They  finished  fourth  out  of  1 1 
teams  in  the  Kauai  Collegiate  Cup  tournament,  third 
out  of  18  teams  in  the  Pirate  Spring  Intercollegiate 
tournament,  and  fourth  out  of  14  teams  in  the  Penn 
State  tournament.  Further  emphasizing  their  excellent 
season,  the  team  was  also  highlighted  by  their  individual 
season  averages.  Polen  led  the  team  with  an  average  of 
74.12,  followed  by  Foster  with  an  average  of  74.75 
and  Keefer  with  an  average  of  74.88.  ■  The  team's 
roster  had  changed  dramatically  over  the  summer  after 
losing  three  seniors  to  graduation,  leaving  Mike  Gooden 
as  the  only  senior.  Team  Co-Captains  Gooden  and 
junior  Chris  Cope  led  a  team  of  new  recruits  under 
the  head  coaching  of  six-year  veteran  Paul  Gooden. 


The  season  began  at  the  Navy  Fall  Invitational  in 

September  with  a  10th  place  finish  out  of  21  teams 

and  a  finish  by  sophomore  Geoff  Forcino  and  Cope  to 

tie  for  27th  place  out  of  104  entires.  At  the  JMU 

Invitational  the  following  week,  the  team  improved  to 

place  third  out  of  1 7  teams 

with  Cope  finishing  first  out 

of  90  entries  with  a  score  of 

141 .  ■  Plowing  their  way  to 

the  top,  the  newest  members 

of  the  team  were  freshmen 

Jay  Woodson,  John  Scott 

Rattan,  and  Tom  Strange  who 

all  tied  for  28th  place  while 

Gooden  finished  37th.  Still 

striving  for  excellence,  the  men's 

team  placed  seventh  out  of  1 5 

teams  at  the  UNC-Wilmington 

River  Landing  Intercollegiate 

tournament,  but  then  fell  behind 

at  the  VCU  Fall  Preview 

tournament  to  finish  last. 

Although  their  performance  at 

VCU  did  not  reveal  the  team's 

full  potential,  they  did  not 

lose  hope  and  fought  to  finish 

eighth  out  of  16  teams  at  the  Georgetown 

Invitational  the  following  week.  "I  think  the 

problems  that  we  had  this  fall  stemmed 

from  the  fact  our  spring  team  was  made  up 

of  three  experienced  seniors,  one  junior 

and  one  sophomore  as  compared  to  a  less 

experienced  group  this  fall,"  said  Coach 

Gooden.  "With  these  new  freshmen  we 

have  the  talent  to  rise  up  and  have  a  high 

ranked  team,"  he  said,  th   END

Another  triumphant  season  could  be  attributed  to 
the  diligence  ot  the  women's  golt  team.  During  their 
spring  season,  the  Dukes  started  out  slow  but  built 
up  momentum  to  bring  their  season  to  a  great  close. 
At  the  Southern  Miss  Lady  Invitational  in  February, 
the  team  finished  seventh  out  or  1 5  teams.  In  the  final 
round  junior  Maria  Zappone  shot  a  final  round  even 
par  to  finish  seventh  individually.  Continuing  their 
success,  the  team  placed  second  at  the  Edwin  Watts/ 
Carolinas  Classic  against  26  other  teams,  including 
George  State,  UNC-Greensboro  and  Campbell 
University.  Freshman  Meghan  Adams  was  the  top- 
finisher  tor  the  team,  placing  eighth  out  of  135  entries. 

■  The  ladies  winning  streak  began  at  the  Elon  College 
Women's  Invitational  as  senior  Julie  Rossum  placed 
third  with  a  two-day  total  of  1 54  and  Adams  placed 
fifth  with  a  total  of  155.  The  team  was  led  once  again 
by  Rossum  at  the  William  and  Mary  Invitational  to 
place  first,  while  Rossum  placed  second  individually 
and  Adams  placed  third.  To  complete  a  great  season, 
the  ladies  won  their  third  consecutive  tournament  at 
the  Lady  Dukes  Invitational  in  front  of  a  home  crowd 
by  an  outstanding  17  shots.  The  entire  starting  roster 
finished  within  the  top  20  and  gave  Adams  her  first 
collegiate  win  and  freshman  Jessica  Lewis  a  second 
place  finish  tor  the  second  time  in  her  college  career. 

■  Going  into  the  fall,  the  women's  team  was  still  thriving 
off  their  record  breaking  wins  from  the  previous  season 
and  entered  the  new  season  with  high  expectations. 
More  pressure  was  placed  upon  the  team  as  they  aimed 


to  be  the  first  women's  golf  team  to  make  it  to  the 
NCAA  championships.  Freshman  )ayme  Langtord, 
and  sophomores  Jessica  Lewis  and  Meghan  Adams 
comprised  a  dynamite  trio  that  led  the  team  with 
consistent  scoring.  "These  three  girls  form  an  outstanding 
group  right  now  and  they  will  continue  to  improve 
each  year,"  said  Coach  Paul  Gooden.  With  the  added 
pressure  to  make  it  to  the  NCAA  tournament,  the  team 
placed  eighth  in  their  first  two  events  at  the  Baytree/ 
Unlimited  Potential  Invitational  and  the  Memphis 
Invitational.  ■  Once  the  team  began  to  relax  they  were 
able  to  finish  second  out  of  16  teams  at  the  Penn  State 
Invitational,  and  finished  12  strokes  ahead  of  UNC- 
Greensboro  who  held  third  place.  Lewis  led  the  team 
with  scores  of  74-72-77  to  place  second,  while  Adams 
and  Langtord  followed  her  placing  in  the  top  20. 
Captain,  senior  Maria  Zappone  has  been  a  great  team 
player  for  the  Dukes  all  four  years.  Coach  Gooden 
said,  "Maria  has  been  a  real  valuable  asset  to  the  ladies' 
team.  We  can  always  count  on  her  to  fight  hard  and 
have  every  stroke  accounted  tor."  In  the  Edwin 
Watts/  Palmetto  Intercollegiate  tournament,  the  ladies 
made  a  final  attempt  ot  the  season  to  place  fifth  out 
ot  13  teams.  Adams  placed  first  out  of  80  entries  with 
a  score  of  223  and  Langford  tied  for  fifth  place  with 
a  score  of  227.  2  Coach  Gooden  has  coached  the 
women's  team  for  two  years  now  and  is  looking  forward 
to  a  promising  future.  "My  goal  as  a  coach  is  to  put 
together  a  great  team  that  goes  higher  in  the  country's 
rankings  every  year,"  said  Coach  Gooden.    !      END

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

Open  he  placed  first 
in  the  floor  exercise  and 
horizontal  bar  and 
placed  second  in  the 
pommel  horse,  still 
rings,  parallel  bars, 
vault,  and  all-around. 
■  Although  the 
WOMEN'S  team  lost 
four  of  their  previous 
seniors  they  were  still 
led  strongly  by  nine 
seniors  and  the  addition 
of  seven  talented 
freshmen  who  all 
together  strove  to 
uphold  their  ECAC

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

WOMEN'S    SOCCER 


Bl CARTER 

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


"Statistically  we  didn't  have  a  winning  season,  but  with 

.  Wilson  kicks  the  ball  after  yet  another 

the  experiences  and  lessons  we  learned  as  a  team  and        5ave.  Wilson  moved  into  third  place 

as  a  family,  we  had  a  winning  season,"  said  sophomore       on  JMU'S  career  saves  list  and  ended 

the  season  with  102  saves.  Photo  by

BI CARTER 

Hie  MEN'S  team  headed  into  the  2001  season  under 
Gist-year  coach  Ryan  Frost,  who  took  over  after  Jennings 
Teal,  Jr.  resigned  to  rake  over  a  head  coaching  position 
at  North  Carolina  State  University.  Coming  off  a 
successful  season  last  year,  the  Dukes  looked  forward  to 
once  again  dominating.  After  a  rocky  start,  the  men 
bounced  back  to  defeat  Davidson  College  in  North 
Carolina.  Sophomore  Jeremy  Bergman  put  up  two 
first  place  finishes  in  the  100m  and  200m  freestyle 
with  times  of  48.53  seconds,  and  1:46.73  respectively. 
Team  Captain,  senior  Brendan  Grant,  came  up  first 
in  the  200m  butterfly  with  a  time  of  1:57.47,  and 
second  in  the  200m  individual  medley  touching  at 
1:58.17.  Sophomore  diver  Jeff  Hudson  also  helped 
the  Dukes  take  first  place  in  the  1  and  3  meter  diving 
events,  with  scores  of  217.73  and  178.28  respectively. 
Mike  Nicholas,  another  sophomore,  came  up  strong 
with  a  first  place  finish  in  the  50m  freestyle  with  a  time 
of  21.96  seconds,  followed  closely  by  junior  Joe  Molle 
with  a  time  of  22.24  seconds.  ■  The  mens  biggest 
victory  came  against  conference  rival  George  Mason

FN'S    TENNIS 


BY QULLgY 

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

The  women's  tennis  team  had  a  good  season  this  year 
and  was  lucky  to  have  four  returning  seniors  who  led 
the  ten  women  squad.  The  team  consisted  or  four 
seniors,  one  junior,  three  sophomores  and  two  freshmen. 
They  finished  46-53  in  fall  singles,  and  26-21  in  tall 
doubles  overall.  »  With  all  players  returning  from  last 
seasons  1 1-9  team,  and  two  strong  freshmen  joining 
the  team.  Head  Coach  Maria  Malerba  looks  for  her 
squad  to  build  upon  the  foundation  it  started  last  year. 
The  two  freshmen  Margie  Zesinger  and  Spencer  Brown 
came  on  and  enhanced  the  team  right  away.  In  the 
fall,  Zesinger  won  five  of  the  matches  that  she  competed 
in.  In  the  tall,  Brown  won  three  of  the  four  matches 
she  competed  in.  H  This  fall,  the  tennis  team  achieved

those  who  follow,"  said  Malerba.  TH   end

B¥ CARTFR 

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

WOMEN'S  Track  and  Field  had  another  successful 
season  under  the  coaching  of  Gwen  Harris,  as  the  team 
placed  fifth  in  the  Colonial  Athletic  Association 
Championships  (CAA).  The  Indoor  team  tied  for  1 5th 
in  die  Eastern  College  Athletic  Conference  Champion- 
ships (ECAC),  and  30th  in  the  outdoor  championships. 
■  The  season  was   highlighted  by  many  individual 
successes.  At  the  outdoor  ECAC,  Senior  Sean  Augustus 
placed  third  in  the  long  jump.  Senior  Bethany  Eigel 
placed  ninth  in  the  3000m  tun  with  the  sixth  fastest 
time  in  school  history.  Junior  Keisha  Banks  placed 
ninth  in  the  1 500m  run,  while  senior  Shontya  Bready 
came  in  ninth  in  the  400m  dash.  ■  Several  runners 
received  All-East  honors.  Augustus  received  All-East 
honors  for  both  the  indoot  and  outdoor  long  jump, 
Banks  was  honored  for  the  indoor  mile  run,  and  the 
3200-meter  relay  team  of  Burkett,  Alisha  Lewis,  Bready, 
and  Banks  also  received  All-East  honors.  ■  The  team 
also  included  many  individual 
CAA  champions.  Augustus,  the 
long  jump  champion,  placed 
third  in  the  100m  hurdles  and 
was  named  the  CAA  Champi- 
onships' Most  Outstanding 
Performer.  Banks  was  the  800m 
run  champion  and  was  third 
in  the  1500m  run.  Mollie

members  qualified  tor  the 
National  Collegiate  Athletic 
Association  (NCAA)  meet.  Eigel 
qualified  for  both  the  5000m 
and  3000m  run,  but  decided  to 
only  compete  in  the  3000m  run. 
Augustus  qualified  to  compete 
in  the  long  jump  but  could  not 
compete  due  to  an  injury.  Eigel 
placed  1 2th  in  the  NCAA  finals, 
earning  her  All-American 
honors.  "It  was  a  great  season, 
we  had  good  things  happen. 
Having  two  people  qualify  for 
the  outdoor  NCAA  and  having 
one  All-American  keeps  us  on 
track  to  be  a  good  team,"  said 
Coach  Harris.  THEEND

VOLLEYBALL 


RYRACHF    O   DONNFII 

The  women's  volleyball  team  proved  that  the  loss 
of  three  standout  seniors  and  four-year  Head  Coach 
Chris  Beerman,  would  not  stop  them  from  defending 
dieir  Colonial  Athletic  Association  tide.  Losing  a  coach 
can  be  tough  as  an  athlete  becomes  accustomed  to  a 
certain  style  of  coaching,  but  the  Dukes  showed  that 
they  are  still  capable  ot  winning  as  a  team  as  they  finished 
second  in  the  CAA  after  the  regular  season  and  won 
the  CAA  tournament  for  the  second  year  in  a  row.  ■ 
Under  new  Head  Coach  Disa  Johnson-Garner  and 
Assistant  Coach  Mary  Tendler,  the  team  was  made 
up  of  two  seniors,  two  juniors,  one  sophomore,  and 
six  freshmen.  The  women  opened  their  season  with 
their  home  tournament  the  Days  Inn/JMU  Classic,  in 
which  they  went  undefeated  against  Maine,  Niagara 
and  Delaware  to  win  the  tournament  in  front  ot  their 
fans  in  the  Convocation  Center.  At  the  Penn  State 
Invitational,  the  Nittany  Lions  dominated  the  Dukes 
in  each  set  winning  15-1  in  the  first  two  sets  and  15- 
0  in  the  third  set.  After  this  disappointing  match,  the 
Dukes  struck  back  to  win  their  next  nine  consecutive 
games.  The  first  three  ot  these  wins  were  against  Austin 
Peay,  Southern  Illinois,  and  Kentucky  during  the  Kentucky 
Classic,  where  the  team  made  pivotal  turning  points 
in  order  to  excel  as  a  team.  A  disappointment  for  the 
team  was  against  East  Carolina  and  George  Mason  on 
the  road.  The  women  lost  to  East  Carolina  three  sets 
to  one  early  in  the  season  but  came  back  to  beat  the 
Pirates  at  home  three  sets  to  one.  The  Dukes  faced 
George  Mason  three  times,  losing  twice  and  winning 
when  it  counted  most  in  the  CAA  tournament.  ■  The 
players  were  plagued  with  constant  injuries,  especially 
the  setter,  freshman  Lauren  Ruzicka  who  had  a  knee 
injury,  which  made  it  difficult  for  the  team  to  find 
consistency  when  the  line-up  was  continually  reshuffled. 
Although  Ruzicka  played  fewer  games  due  to  her  injury 
she  still  averaged  13.16  assists  per  game,  which  made 
a  school  single  season  record  and  she  placed  eighth  All- 
time  in  a  single  season  with  974  total  assists.  ■  Two  of 
the  most  significant  victories  occurred  as  the  Dukes 
defeated  William  and  Mary  at  home  for  the  third  straight 
time  diis  season,  which  helped  the  Dukes'  seeding  in 
the  conference.  The  very  next  day  the  Dukes  beat  George 
Mason  for  the  first  time  this  season  to  win  the  CAA 
tournament  and  claim  the  tide.  The  Dukes  headed  into 


the  NCAA  tournament  for  the  second  year  in  a  row 
with  a  season  record  of  21-9.  This  tournament  turned 
out  to  be  the  best  outing  ot  the  season  even  though 
they  lost  in  the  first  round.  The  Dukes  played  three 
outstanding  sets  against  the  defending  national 
champions,  Penn  State.  Showing  absolutely  no  fear 
or  intimidation,  the  Dukes  played  hard  and  earned 
the  respect  of  many 
as  they  faced  a 
tough  opponent  in 
a  close  loss  of  three 
sets  15-12,  15-11, 
and  15-7.  "I'm 
really  proud  of  the 
girls  tor  winning 
the  Conference 
and  competing  well 
to  almost  beat  the 
top  seed.  They 

definitely  went  in  and  strengthened  their 
abilities,"  said  Coach  Johnson-Garner.  ■ 
Many  of  the  players  had  weary  outlooks 
of  how  the  season  would  actually  turn  out. 
"I  really  didn't  know  what  to  expect  at  the 
beginning  of  the  season  with  so  many 
young,  new  starters,  but  they  definitely 
exceeded  my  expectations  and  I  am  so 
proud  ot  how  they  competed  and  developed 
as  Division  I  players.  The  way  they 
competed  made  my  senior  year  very 
enjoyable,"  said  Gessler.  Gessler  had  an 
exceptional  career  leaving  the  university 
placing  second  all-time  in  solo  blocks  widi 
112,  third  in  block  assists  with  275  and  in 
total  blocks  widi  387,  and  founh  in  all-rime 
blocking  average  of  .90  blocks.  She  became 
the  second  player  in  the  school's  history  to 
have  over  1 ,000  kills  and  digs,  ranking 
fourth  in  digs  with  1 ,022.  Other  players 
were  also  recognized  for  their  accomplish- 
ments throughout  the  season.  Junior  Larissa 
Daily  was  named  to  the  Second  Team  All- 
Conference,  while  junior  Dainelle 
Heinbaugh  and  Ruzicka  were  named  to 
the  CAA  All-Tournament  Team.  THEEND

WRESTLING

O  DONNELL 


The  team  morale  for  the  wrestlers  this  season  was  at 
a  high  after  winning  the  Colonial  Athletic  Association 
title  two  years  in  a  row  and  having  two  defending  CAA 
champions  and  NCAA  qualifiers,  seniors  Nate  Rickman 
and  D.J.  Hockman,  return  to  lead  the  team.  Those 
members  who  showed  influential  camaraderie,  such 
as  senior  Scott  Brubaker  and  sophomore  Dave  Colabella, 
both  helped  lead  the  team  with  enthusiasm  throughout 
the  season.  "Both  inside  and  outside  of  the  room  they 
both  proved  to  be  good  leaders,"  said  Coach  Jeff 

"Peanut"  Bowyer. 
At  the  beginning  of 
the  year  there  were 
some  additions  to 
the  team  such  as 
sophomore  Pat  Diaz 
who  transferred 
from  American 
University  and  twin 
brothers,  Geoff 
and  Dalton  Head, 
who  started  each 
meet,  along  with 
freshman  Todd 
Schroeder.  ■  Two 
of  the  best  matches 
that  the  team 
conquered  were 
against  Campbell 
University  and 
NC  State  University. 
At  the  home  meet 
against  Campbell, 
the  win  proved  to 
show  some  real  talent  on  behalf  of  their  determination 
and  energy  with  a  total  score  of  37-3.  This  also 
presented  a  most  favorable  event  for  Coach  Bowyer 
who  had  his  100th  win  and  commented  on  how 
exceptional  the  guys  wrestling  turned  out  to  be  that 
night.  "Going  into  that  match,  we  wanted  to  wrestle 
very  well  that  night  and  we  ended  up  dominating  them! 
I  was  very  impressed  with  the  performance  of  the  kids. 
It  was  certainly  a  nice  milestone  to  post  100  wins,  both 
as  an  athlete  and  a  coach,"  said  Bowyer,  a  previous 
wrestler  in  the  program  and  coach  for  the  Dukes  for 
the  past  1 3  years.  ■  The  team  pulled  together  to  focus

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

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

ClUD 

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

club 


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 
Christina  Olson

True  to  their  creedo,  "Forget  about  starving  .  .  .  Just  be  an  artist," 
the  dO  brothers  of  the  art  and  art  history  fraternity.  Kappa  Pi 
committed  themselves  to  the  promotion  oi  art  in  the  university  and  the 
surrounding  community. 

"I  think  the  most  unique  aspect  of  our  organization  is  that  we  have  a 
variety  or  artists  from  different  areas  such  as  art  education,  art  history,  graphic 
design  and  scultpture,"  said  President  Laura  Lee  Gulledge.  "Our  fraternity 
brings  the  visual  arts  areas  together  and  is  useful  to  gain  feedback  from  people 
in  completely  different  areas.  It's  also  a  good  way  to  network  in  die  department." 

Brothers  offered  their  artistic  services  to  campus  organizations  like 
Theatre  II.  painting  signs  to  announce  upcoming  shows.  They  also  hoped 
to  give  facelifts  to  the  bare  walls  of  university  buildings  such  as  Taylor  Hall 
and  Ashby  Hall  by  designing  and  painting  murals.  Student  art  sales,  held 
every  semester  and  coordinated  by  Kappa  Pi,  gave  members  a  chance  to  make 
money  from  their  work. 

During  portfolio  review  days  at  the  Corchran  School  of  Art  in  Washington, 
D.C.,  brothers  registered  incoming  freshmen  from  all  over  the  country  and 
promoted  the  university  art  department. 

One  of  the  most  rewarding  Kappa  Pi  projects  was  their  annual  "Very 
Special  Arts  Festival"  held  in  the  spring.  Members  hosted  approximately  200 
special  education  children  and  led  them  in  a  day  of  art  and  dance  activities 
and  music  and  theatre  workshops.  "It's  great  to  get  them  together  in  one 
spot.  It  makes  them  feel  like  they  have  a  sense  of  control  over  things  when 
the\'  become  involved  in  art  projects,"  said  Gulledge. 

When  they  weren't  creating  works  of  art,  brothers  came  together  for 
social  events  including  the  pledge-brother  field  day.  Members  participated 
in  a  pie-eating  contest,  a  scavenger  hunt,  and  a  pumpkin-carving  challenge. 
"I  think  the  best  pumpkin  was  a  performance  piece  called  'deadi  of  a  pumpkin.' 
We  smashed  it  and  danced  around  it  so  it  was  very  conceptual,"  said  Gulledge. 

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

movement 

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

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

NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION  OF 


put  a  particular  emp 


reer 


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

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

The  sisters  ol  the  Alpha  Upsilon  chapter  ol  Sigma  Sigma  Sigma 
came  together  and  demonstrated  their  sisterhood.  Whether  a 
Greek  competition,  a  social  (unction,  a  fundraiser  or  charitable  event,  the 
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 
home,  the  residents  at  the  local  Association  of  Retarded  Citizens  home  and  the 
Metcy  House. 

XXX  had  a  lot  to  be  proud  ot  not  only  tor  their  participation  in  service 
events,  but  for  their  Greek  Week  victory  and  second  place  finish  in  the  dance 
competition,  Greek  Sing.  By  Laura  Lindsey

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

TBZ  had  many  traditions  that  bonded  them  as  sisters.  "I  joined  to  serve 
the  band,  but  I  stay  in  TBZ  because  of  the  people  and  bonds  and  friendships 
that  I've  formed,"  said  junior  Becca  Goldberg.  By  Laura  Lindsey

Women  of  Color  was  an  organization  founded  in  the  fall  of  1987  to  provide  support  and 
offer  opportunities  for  personal,  spiritual,  and  intellectual  growth  to  the  women  of  color 
among  the  student  body. 

The  group  participated  in  many  service  activities,  including  Adopt-a-Family  during  the  holiday 
season.  Group  members  bought  gifts  such  as  clothes  and  toys  for  each  member  of  their  adopted  family 
and  put  together  a  food  basket  for  a  holiday  meal.  They  also  hoped  to  begin  fundraising  for  breast  cancer 
awareness  and  research  within  the  next  year. 

Women  of  Color's  biggest  event  was  the  annual  Women  of  Color  Week  in  March.  Open  to  the 
ntire  university,  the  event  featured  activities  such  as  a  health  forum,  a  play,  movie  night,  and  an 
evening  at  TDU. 

Hoping  to  diversify  the  student  body  and  recruit  more  minorities,  the  Women  of  Color  set  up 
information  booths  at  several  activities  fairs  such  as  Take-a-Look  Day  and  African  American  Prospective 
Students  Weekend. 

"Our  focus  there  was  to  let  freshmen  women  of  color  know  that  we're  here  for  them  as  they  make 
their  transition  to  college.  We  want  to  help  them  grow  and  develop  personally  and  intellectually,"  said 
President  Jennifer  Johnson.  By  Katie  Russo

ilk  and  cereal,"  screamed  the  girls.  "Milk  and  cereal,"  screamed 
.  the  boys.  "Milk  and  cereal!"  cheered  the  girls  again.  "Cereal  and 
milk!"  screamed  the  boys  in  high  pitched  voices  that  echoed  across  the  fields. 
The  Ultimate  Frisbee  Club  men's  and  women's  teams  often  cheered  together 
before  the  start  of  their  games  to  psyche  each  other  up. 

Due  to  the  overwhelming  number  of  women  who  wanted  to  join  the 
team,  the  club  split  into  separate  men's  and  women's  teams.  The  men  still 
kept  their  name,  the  Flying  Hellfish,  while  the  women  were  affectionately 
called  the  Bitch  Monkeys.  "I  am  very  pleased  about  having  a  women's  team  at 
this  school  now.  I  am  also  very  impressed  how  organized  and  structured  the 
team  is  already  in  this  very  first  year  of  playing,"  said  senior  Ron  "Bert" 
Turner,  president  of  the  men's  team. 

Both  teams  participated  in  the  Chesapeake  Fall  College  Championship 
league  and  various  tournaments  all  over  the  East  Coast  and  did  extremely 
well.  Both  on  and  off  the  field,  the  Hellfish  and  Monkeys  were  a  close  group 
of  people.  "The  frisbee  team  is  a  collection  of  really  unique,  and  sometimes 
odd,  people.  I'm  proud  to  say  I'm  one  of  them,"  said  senior  Julie  Demeester. 
The  teams  often  partied  together  on  weekends  and  were  found  causing  a 
ruckus  around  campus.  Several  members  of  the  Hellfish  lived  together  in 
the  Frisbee  House  located  on  Mason  Street,  and  in  the  Frisbee  Flat  in 
Hunter's  Ridge.  When  asked  about  the  future  of  Ultimate  Frisbee  at  the 
university,  junior  Allie  "Hotstufif"  Barber  said,  "our  future  is  so  bright  we 
have  to  wear  shades."  By  Laura  Creecy

WOMEN'S  CLUB 


■ 


'  I   *he  Womens  Club  Volleyball  team  entered  their  fifth  year  as  a  university  recognized 
JL    organization  arid  defended  their  national  ranking  of  17  among  club  teams.  Due  to  the 
number  of  girls  interested  in  playing,  they  split  into  two  teams,  A  and  B.  According  to  President 
Kathy  Munoz,  "we  are  a  sports  organization  striving  to  better  our  national  standings  this  year.  We 
slay  several  teams  across  the  state  as  well  as  around  the  nation." 

In  March  2000,  the  women  traveled  to  Reno,  Nev.  to  play  in  the  16th  Annual  National  Intramural- 
Recreation  Sports  Association  Collegiate  Volleyball  Tournament.  The  team  went  into  the  tournament 
ranked  24th  but  left  ranked  17th  among  36  teams. 

The  women  started  the  fall  traveling  to  the  University  of  Miami  of  Ohio  and  playing  in  a  20-team 
tournament.  They  finished  as  the  runner-ups  in  the  silver  division  finals.  Then  in  November,  the 
team  hosted  their  annual  Invitational  Tournament  at  UREC.  The  A  team  finished  second  in  the 
tournament  behind  Appalachian  State's  A  team.  The  A  team  split  with  Virginia  Tech  and  William 
&  Mary  in  the  first  round  and  then  defeated  University  of  Maryland's  B  team.  In  die  quarterfinals, 
the  women  beat  Virginia  Tech  and  then  the  University  of  Maryland  Baltimore  County  in  the  semifinals. 
The  teams  streak  came  to  end  in  the  finals  as  they  lost  to  Appalachian  State  25-20  and  25-23. 

The  B  team  also  participated  in  the  tournament  and  finished  fifth  out  of  1 2  teams.  They  beat 
Appalachian  States  B  team  and  then  lost  to  the  University  of  Maryland's  A  team  and  split  with 
UNC-Greensboro.  They  made  it  to  the  quarterfinals  but  lost  to  the  tournament  champions,  Appalachian 
State's  A  team. 

Munoz  attributed  the  team's  success  to  their  commitment  and  dedication  to  the  sport  and  their 
camaraderie.  "What  makes  us  unique  is  our  commitment  on  and  off  the  court.  In  playing  we  have 
become  best  friends  and  extend  that  friendship  to  the  community  through  our  fundraising  and  volunteer 
work."  By  Aimee  Costello

The  mission  of  the  University  Program  Board  (UPB)  was  to  "serve 
the  ]MU  community  by  using  innovative  ways  to  provide  quality 
education  and  entertainment  for  diverse  audiences.  We  dedicate  ourselves  to 
understanding  JMUs  programming  desire  and  involving  students  in  our 
events.  We  pride  ourselves  on  effective  communication,  encourage  input  from 
all  members,  and  strive  to  heighten  awareness  of  our  purpose." 

UPB  was  comprised  of  an  elected  executive  council  of  14  undergraduates 
and  one  graduate  assistant  and  approximately  300  active  volunteers.  While 
not  .ill  of  the  volunteers  were  regular  participants,  there  was  a  very  dedicated 
core  group  that  attended  weekly  meetings.  Much  of  the  volunteer  involvement 
was  through  assisting  the  UPB-sponsored  major  concerts.  Considering  the 
scale  of  such  an  event  and  the  4-8  weeks  ot  planning,  it  was  not  surprising 
that  each  event  required  40  to  60  volunteers. 

"On  average  we  do  20  to  25  events  per  semester,"  said  Chris  Stup, 
Coordinator  for  Student  Organizational  Services.  "But  most  of  those  are 
smaller  events,  co-sponsorships  with  other  organizations,  bands  out  on  The 
Commons,  performers  down  in  Taylor  Down  Under  and  all  of  the  Grafton- 
Stovall  movies.  They're  not  the  big,  nationally-known  concerts,  so  the  majority 
of  the  public  probably  doesn't  realize  that  we  do  that  many  events  per  semester." 

The  main  programming  areas  included  committees  focused  on  cinematic 
events,  musical  events,  issues  and  cultural  awareness,  and  variety  entertainment. 
The  support  committees  were  hospitality,  technical  services,  advertising 
and  public  relations.  Together  these  groups  covered  everything  from  the  travel, 
lodging  and  catering  needs  tor  artists  and  guests  to  advertising  for  the 
events  to  working  the  sound  and  light  boards. 

UPB  committees  worked  together  to  sponsor  huge  events  like  the  annual 
Talent  Jam,  and  low-key  events  such  as  "Sex  Rules"  speaker,  Maria  Falzone. 
Stup  said,  "Those  are  the  smaller  programs  that  not  a  lot  of  people  get  to  see, 
but  you  wish  you  could  do  a  show  like  that  in  Wilson  hall  and  1 ,300  people 
would  come  out  and  see  it.  It  was  such  a  good  quality  show,  fun  and  educational. 
And  we  do  a  lot  of  those  type  of  events."  By  Becca  Worthington

WOMEN'S  WATER 


■

In  its  fourth  year,  the  Women's  Water  Polo  team  was  the  largest  it  had  ever  been  with 
dedicated  members.  The  team  attracted  seasoned  water  polo  players  as  well  as  those  who  were 
unfamiliar  widi  the  sport.  Senior  Molly  Evenson  noted  that  "it's  fun  to  see  girls  come  in  who  can't  even 
tread  water  and  watch  diem  turn  into  water  polo  rock  stars!"  The  camaraderie  that  developed  between 
the  members  of  the  team  was  something  that  Evenson  acknowledged  as  one  of  her  reasons  lor  remaining 
on  the  team  for  so  long. 

Throughout  the  year,  the  team  participated  in  scrimmages  against  UV'A,  Virginia  Tech  and  Eastern 
Carolina  University  and  won  each  of  them.  Each  year  the  team  was  invited  to  the  UNC  Chapel  Hill 
Tournament  and  Evenson  said,  "we  keep  placing  better  every  year  and  this  year  we  plan  to  win." 
Evenson's  confidence  in  her  team  came  tram  its  demonstrated  athletic  ability.  In  order  to  finance  the 
team's  travel  from  one  scrimmage  to  another,  the  team  sponsored  various  poster  sales  and  worked  the 
concession  stands  at  football  games.  In  addition,  each  member  of  the  team  was  required  to  pay  dues 
that  covered  some  of  the  travel  expenses  to  and  from  each  of  their  scrimmages. 

The  team  practiced  at  the  UREC  pool  four  days  a  week  to  ensure  that  diey  would  play  their  best 
in  matches  and  tournaments.  At  practices,  members  swam  and  devoted  time  to  body  conditioning, 
drills,  and  scrimmages.  Evenson  admitted  that  she  and  her  teammates  got  along  better  outside  the 
pool  because  scrimmages  could  get  "pretty  intense"  because  when  they  weren't  in  the  water,  the  girls 
"are  not  getting  scratched,  kicked  and  slammed"  which  was  routine  at  their  practices. 

The  team  did  special  team  building  activities  to  make  new  members  feel  welcome  including  an 
ice  cream  social  and  a  Friends  watching  party.  To  make  sure  that  everyone  on  the  team  felt  welcome, 
Evenson  said,  "We  also  have  little  sisters  so  that  the  older  girls  get  to  know  the  younger  girls  and  they 
can  go  out  and  bond  over  lunch  and  odier  activities."  The  team  earned  recognition  as  the  Sports  Club 
of  the  Month  in  October  partly  because  of  their  participation  in  the  Walk  for  Multiple  Sclerosis  in 
which  they  earned  more  than  $800  for  the  cause.  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

1  only  lost  nn  temper  a  few  times,  the  book  looks  amazing

To  the  BlueStone  staff-  I  have  never  been  so  proud  to  work 
with  a  group  ol  people  in  my  lite.  Your  dedication  and  hard 
work  made  this  book  happen.  Thank  you  to  each  and  even

bright  futures  ahead. 

The  staff  put  in  coundess  hours  at  the  yellow  submarine  i.aLt: 
OUT  office)  CO  make  dus  book  happen  and  deserve  all  the  credit 
for  this  book.  I  hope  thev  enjoyed  this  year  as  much  as  I  did. 
Their  hard  work  has  definitely  paid  oft  and  is  evident  in  this 
book.  Whether  we  win  another  award  does  not  matter,  the 
only  thing  that  matters  is  that  we  produced  another  great  book 
and  wc  did  it  together.  Of  course,  an  award  would  be  nice. 


I  came  to  the  Bluestone  office  as  a  freshman  because  I 
wanted  access  to  a  darkroom  and  a  reason  to  shoot.  Somehow, 
I  ended  up  with  responsibility'  -  responsibility  that  with  the 
completion  of  this  book  I  gleefully  pass  along  to  someone  else. 

There  was  long  work,  drudgery,  and  sacrifice,  and  an 
inexplicable  phobia  of  windowless  yellow  rooms.  There  were 
fights,  exhaustion,  and  stories  good  enough  to  tell  my  grand- 
children. Then  again,  some  of  those  stories  probablv  shouldn't 
be  told  to  children.  1  missed  class,  I  missed  sleep. . ,  sometimes 
1  missed  saniry...  Bur  1,  and  others,  kept  coming  back  for 
more.  What  irrefutable  proof  of  something  worthwhile! 

Being  a  photographer  for  the  Bluestone  kept  me  aJwavs  in 
the  midst  of  the  action  and  surrounded  by  the  vibrancy  of 
JMU  that  made  this  university  more  than  a  collection  of 
buildings.  Being  a  member  of  the  Bluestone  staff  made  me 
part  of  a  community  of  talented  and  (mostly)  determined 
people  working  toward  a  common  goal.  Having  a  kev  to  the 
Bluestone  office  gave  me  a  place  to  crash  between  classes.  The 
Bluestone  not  only  tried  to  encapsulate  the  experience  of  a 
university  in  504  pages,  but  was,  in  a  sense,  a  distillation  of 
all  the  things  I  loved  about  JMU. 


Of  course,  this  book  would  never  have  been  so  successful 
or  well-loved  without  the  people  -  many  friends  -  who  staffed 
it.  To  all  of  you  who  supported  me,  vou  have  mv  thanks.  To 
all  of  you  I  frustrated,  irritated,  or  otherwise  offended,  I 
apologize.  To  Steve,  Melissa.  Rachel,  Statia,  Kathcrine,  Rick, 
Wendy,  Todd,  Becky.  Scott,  and  all  ol  you  from  previous 
books,  thanks!  You  were  great  friends.  To  Leah:   there  were 
a  few  rough  moments,  but  you  alone  embody  my  love  for 
yearbook  -  I  will  never  forget  you  and  hope  that  we  will 
remain  friends  far  into  the  future. 

The  staff  of  this  book  made  mv  final  year  as  a  Bluestone 
staffer  my  favorite  by  far.  This  staff  was  an  exceptional 
combination  of  talent  and  accomplishment.  To  ail  of  you, 
thank  you  for  this  year.  To  Aimee,  as  Pat  McGee  said.    You 
arc  the  best  editor  EVER!"...  and  Pat  ain't  Win'1  lb  Kristen, 
I'll  be  in  touch  about  that  magazine  -  just  give  me  a  few  years. 
To  both  of  you,  thank  you  for  being  such  great  friends  and 
partners- in-c rime.  To  Mandy  Kane:  you  arc  SO  done!  To 
.ill  of  my  faithful  photOSS  -  vou  ROCK!   Photog-snlidaruv 
forever!  (No  one  reads  the  articles  anyway)  Yours  always, 
#00.  And  to  Kirstin  ...  finding  you  was  the  most  beautiful 


thing  about  this  experience.  I  love  you. 

And  that's  all.  The  Bluestone  was  nirvana  and  a 
all  at  the  same  time.  But  I  have  no  regrets.  I'm 
luck  to  future  Bluestonesi

I  fought  this,  I  really  did.  After  last  year  I  swore  I  would 
never  conic  back.  But  the  pull  of  the  yellow  walls,  the  hum  of 
the  failing  Macs  and  the  pleas  of  in)'  dear  friend  and  editor 
brought  me  back  for  one  more  round  on  the  Bluestone  staff. 
The  time  and  dedication  necessary  to  pull  off  a  504-page 
publication  were  what  scared  me  then,  but  thev  are  also  what 
make  me  proud  now.  Although  dubbed  an  extra-curricular 
activity,  being  a  part  of  the  Bluestone  staff  basically  means 
your  only  free  rime  is  that  which  you  spend  in  class  ot  the  few 
hours  you  can  spare  to  sleep.  But  it's  all  worth  it.  Although 
I  may  have  complained  once  or  twice,  there  really  is  something 
amazing  about  knowing  examples  of  your  hard  work  are  in 
8,600  books  for  anyone  and  everyone  to  see.  And  at  the  risk 
of  sounding  like  an  after-school  special,  the  best  part  of  working 
on  this  awesome  stall  was  the  incredible  friendships  I  made. 
■  First  and  foremost,  1  have  to  thank,  applaud,  and  someday 
out-drink  Aimee,  or  as  she  calls  herself,  "the  best  editor  in  the 
world!  She  truly  is  and  she  is  what  made  this  book  such  a 
success.  Without  her  dedication,  hard  work  and  borderline 
obsessive-compulsive  tendencies,  we  never  would  have  met 


every  deadline  or  liad  nearly  as  much  tun  doing  it.  It  also  helped 
to  have  the  promise  of  a  deadline  champagne  celebration 
thanks  to  my  favorite  photog  director  and  the  unfortunate 
ear  to  many  of  my  emotional  outbursts,  Carlton.  His  pictures 
made  designing  easy  and  I  am  so  glad  I  got  to  know  him  so 
well.  And  then  there's  the  hyphen-queen,  Christina.  She's 
got  a  lot  more  to  her  than  meets  the  eve,  as  those  of  us  who 
witnessed  her  glow-stick  skills  at  the  Zei  Club  know.  She 
may  be  hyphen-happy  but  you've  got  to  give  her  credit  for 
voluntarily  reading  and  re-reading  every  word  that  is  in  diis 
book.  And  how  could  we  survive  any  deadline  without  the 
random  outbursts  and  hilarious  antics  of  everybody's  favorite 
rapper,  Jizz  Master  Flash,  a.k.a.  Mandy.  I've  never  met  a 
bigger  goofball,  talented  designer  or  all-around  awesome  girl, 
jazz-hands  and  all. 

Designers:  vou  girls  are  awesome!  You  are  all  extremely 
talented  and  you  made  my  job  so  much  easier.  I  wish  you  all 
the  best  of  luck  in  the  years  to  come.  And  to  the  rest  of  the 
stafn  thank  you  SO  much  for  all  your  hard  work.  We  couldn't 
have  done  it  without  you  and  I  wish  you  luck  and  stress- 
free  days  and  nights  in  the  future. 

Thanks  to  my  family  for  understanding  and  supporting  me 
through  this  huge  ordeal  and  for  sending  me  to  this  amazing 
university.  1  love  you  all,  and  Holden,  I  promise  Memesh 
will  be  home  from  school  soon!  To  my  roommates  Jane, 
Annie  and  E:  thanks  for  making  time  to  hang  out  with  me 
the  few  times  I  was  around!  You're  my  favorite  TV  pals  and 
juggle-a-thon  champs! 

Thanks  to  Jerry  Weaver  and  Brian  Hunter  for  having  faidi 
in  us  and  to  JMU  for  feeding  us  on  deadlines  and  at  conferences. 
This  hook  is  a  massive  project  that  requires  so  many  people 


to  make  it  successful  and  we  were  extremely  lucky  to  have 
the  support  that  we  did. 

Last  but  not  least,  thank  you  to  my  mentor.  Leah  Bailey, 
who  is  now  living  out  her  dream  in  New  York.  She  taught 
me  so  much  and  is  responsible  for  setting  the  precedence  of 
this  award-winning  book. 

I  drink  I'm  done.  Good  luck  to  next  year's  staff  and  remember 
to  have  fun!  Once  I  am  through  the  initial  withdrawal  period 
I  promise  to  come  visit.  But  tor  now,  I'm  jetrin  .

The  hardest  part  of  being  the  copy  editor  wasn't  coaching 
!  writers  on  their  stories  or  spending  seemingly  endless  nights 
in  the  Bluestone  office.  By  far,  the  source  of  my  positions 
frustrations  boiled  down  to  something  I  call  my  "hyphen 
handicap,"  defined  as  the  inability  to  correcdy  identify  those 
ail-too  important  times  when  a  hyphen  is  needed  between 
;  two  or  more  words.  This  deficiency  led  me  to  haphazardly 
stick  hyphens  everywhere  so  I  apologize  to  all  of  our  readers 
if  hyphenated  words  seem  to  be  used  in  excess. 

And  now  it's  time  to  reminisce  ...  After  last  year's 
"masterpiece,"  having  to  create  the  2001  yearbook  was  a 
daunting  task.  Of  course,  dedication  and  hard  wotk  prevailed 
and  I'm  proud  to  say  this  year's  staff  has  created  a  magnum 
.  opus  in  its  own  right.  After  meeting  our  last  deadline  for 
this  500-pager,  I  felt  not  only  relieved  (like  someone  had 
removed  a  two-ton  boulder  from  my  back)  but  extremely 
proud  for  heading  up  such  a  professional  publication.  I  am 
also  grateftd  for  the  many  benefits  that  accompanied  the 
position  like  being  able  to  jet  around  the  country  on  the 
university's  dime  for  media  conferences.  I  can  only  hope  for 
such  a  posirion  in  the  real  world. 

On  a  personal  note,  I'd  like  to  drank  my  fellow  editors  who 
did  a  fabulous  job  ot  staying  on  top  of  things  throughout 
the  year  and  for  all  the  free  rides  to  and  from  the  office.  I 
probably  owe  all  ot  vou  a  lull  tank  of  gas.  It's  been  a  gre.u 
experience  but  I  don't  think  I  m  alone  in  saying  that  I'm  glad 


we're  finished!  1  think  I've  had  enough  QKH  to  last  the 
rest  of  my  life. 

To  the  staff,  I'd  like  to  thank  you  for  all  of  your  hard 
work  and  detetmination  to  make  this  book  a  success.  1 
hope  you  had  fun  working  with  us  and  wish  you  luck 
with  next  year's  publication.  You're  a  talented  bunch  and 
there's  no  doubt  in  my  mind  that  you  will  carry  on  the 
award-winning  Bluestone  tradition. 

I  also  have  to  extend  some  gratitude  to  my  friends  and 
roommates  who  saw  me  through  those  challenging, 
sleepless  deadline  weeks,  listening  to  me  moan  and 
complain  and  driving  me  to  the  Bluestone  room.  Thanks 


for  understanding  the  demands  of  my  position  and  my 
crazy  schedule  when  attempting  to  make  plans  with  me. 

Ijsi  but  not  least,  I  am  indebted  to  my  family  for  sending 
me  to  this  university  in  the  first  place.  I  couldn't  have  made 
it  through  my  four  years  here  without  your  support  and 
guidance.  And  a  special  thanks  to  my  grandmother,  Joanne 
Cook,  who  gave  me  a  JMU  legacy  to  live  up  to.  I'm  so  glad 
I  enjoyed  my  time  here  as  much  as  you  did  50  years  ago. 

To  anyone  I  forgot,  thanks  for  the  memories.

There  was  once  a  team  called  Features, 

Composed  of  all  the  coolest  creatures, 

Five  chicks  and  one  guy, 

Who  were  all  too  darn  fly, 

While  other  teams  cheered  from  the 

bleachers. 

The  Leader  was  Teisha  Garrett, 
Led  us  to  Victory?  You  bet! 
Had  a  few  parking  problems, 
Was  strong  though  and  solved  them, 
And  asked  "Are  we  having  fun  yet?" 

Then  diere  was  an  awesome  designer, 

Andi,  we're  so  glad  we  found  her, 

Kept  an  eye  on  the  Team, 

She  was  the  email  Queen, 

With  strength  that  always  surround  her. 


Laura,  our  getaway  driver, 
K4ore  cunning  than  MacGyver, 
Her  car  saved  the  day, 
Used  chips  to  act  as  "Lay's," 
Made  all  our  meetings  much  liver. 

Kirstin,  who  took  such  great  pictures, 

When  shooting,  guys  tried  to  get 

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!"

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.

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!"
