"When I woke uptms morning, I
thought I was still asleep and dreaming.
Then I remembered ~ the summer is
oyer and I'm at Madison College.

On the way to breakfast I watched
the sun wake up the gray buildings with
their red roofs. Here in the valley the
leaves have already started to turn, and
the whole campus seemed to stretch to
meet the morning.

All day long the "Hi's" and "Hey's"
have echoed across the quadrangle, and
the friendliness makes one feel good in-
side.

Madison is wonderful -- I only
hope that I don't wake up tomorrow
morning and fmd that it really is just a
dream."

FLOURISH

From the 1927 May Queen and Her Court to today's Mr. and Ms. Madi-
son, the university has seen a number of changes. Since it was founded in
1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women, our school has
flourished into a coeducational Hberal arts university with over 12,000 stu-
dents. In 1977, Madison College was renamed James Madison University
under President Ronald E. Carrier and has since made a name for itself
nationally. Student life has changed with the university as athletics, enter-
tainment and extracurricular activities have created an atmosphere of tradi-
tion combined with innovation. Whether we were working out at the Uni-
versity Recreation Center, enjoying a concert at the Convo or running to a
meeting, the increased amenities of recent years have made our college years
more than just homework.

' AHEAD

With mixed emotions ranging from nostalgia and sadness to
excitement and elation, the Class of 1996 received their diplo-
mas in front ol the proud taccs ot tamil\' and friends. With
diplomas in hand, the newest Madison alumni brought an
end to their \ears at JAIU and began the next phase of their
lives.

"I was so excited that I was finaU)' graduating but I
was also a littie apprehensi\'e about going out into the world,"
said graduate Laura Solomon. "I decided, though, that I wasn't
going to think about that because I was ha\ing such a great
time with all mv friends."

Storm clouds and rains plagued the ceremon\but that
didn't dampen the festive atmosphere. Excited graduates
donned their caps with messages and s}Tnbols representative
of their college vears. Beach balls, balloons and toilet paper
streamed through the air as guest speakers congratulated the
students. Camera flashes popped from all directions as the
tassels turned and diplomas were distributed.

"It was supposed to be a serious and dignified event,"
said graduate Alicia Mellman, "but all the seniors just wanted
to celebrate and have a good time."

After the main ceremony in Bridgeforth Stadium,
students divided into smaller ceremonies held bv the different
colleges within the uni\'ersit\'. Ceremonies were held aU over
campus, including on the Quad and in the Convocation Cen-
ter. At these smaller, more intimate ceremonies, graduates
walked across the stage as their names were announced.

After the satellite ceremonies, tailgating, celebrations
and barbecoies popped up all around the cit}' as the graduation
festivities continued throughout the day.

"Ever\one was talking about long-term plans, jobs
and tra\'eling," said graduate Ryan Netzer. "All I could think
about was the immediate flimre and having a great time dur-
ing my last few davs at JMU."

Graduate Ryan Sullivan said, "I had worked hard for
the last few years and it was now time for me to take a break
from everrthing and see America. Madison taught me a lot
about life and people and I think that with this diploma, I'm
ready to begin my new life."

With all of the unique and stimulating entertainment options
that JMU and the surrounding community offered students,
nightlife was never at a standstUl. Activities ranged from par-
tying on The Row to watching a movie among a rowdy audi-
ence at Grafton-StovaU Theatre.

For those of legal drinking age, the loss of JM's Bar
and Grill's liquor license was a huge letdown; however, many
students found The Office, Dave's Taverna (formerly Gus's)
and The Blue Foxx Cafe to be favorable alternatives. Thanks
to locales like these, students such as senior Kim Baccari were
not so heartbroken about JM's transformation. "I think that
The Blue Foxx has a lot better atmosphere [than JM's] because
you can have the social aspect of sitting at tables and talking or
you can get up and dance," Baccari said.

Those looking for a good drink and a good meal often
found themselves headed towards the Boston Beanery, Ruby
Tuesday's or the infamous Spanky's. Chili's and J. WUloby's
Roadhouse were the newest editions to Harrisonburg's array
of casual, low-priced dining options. Senior Craig Sell enjoyed
J. Willoby's with its peanut shell-covered floors because it had
"real good food with a great selection of beer!"

Although restaurants and bars were favored by many
students, others attended parties on Greek Row and off cam-
pus. Students such as junior Mike Mateli preferred off-cam-
pus parties to fraternity parties because "they are open to ev-
eryone, and you can always find people you know." Socialites
who liked to dance the night away and meet new people in a
less intimate setting favored The Row; however, with practi-
cally everything within walking distance, "party hopping" was
common.

Some students opted to relax on the weekends. With
its extra large sofas and mellow music. The Artflil Dodger was
a popular place to hang out and take in the atmosphere. Ac-
cording to junior Samarth Maheshwari, this coffeehouse is like
"an oasis in this desert we call Harrisonburg." Whereas most
entertainment in Harrisonburg has a small-town aura,
Maheshwari said he likes the Artful Dodger for its "big city
feel." Most students found similar attachments to the many
nightlife activities.

Despite the rainv weather, students and their parents enjoyed all
of the acti\'ities planned for Parents Weekend. The Godwin Field
Festival presented an array of merchandise for students and their
parents to purchase. Freshman Nicole Sansini said she enjoyed
browsing through e\'er)'thing the festival offered. "They had all
sorts of thing like clothes and jewelr)'," Sansini said.

The football game at Bridgefoth Stadium on Saturd.u
afternoon was also a popular event. Even the pouring rain did
not dampen the crowd's spirit. That night, the School of Music
presented the Pops Concert, which included the Symphon\
Orchestra, The Madisonians and the Jazz Ensemble, with guest
artist Joe Kenned}', at the Convocation Center.

Many students gave their parents personalized tours of
campus. Sophomore Kendra May said, "I showed my parents
where I have classes and where I spend my time. They were re-
ally impressed by the new Universit)' Recreation Center."

Freshman Ryan Havnes also gave his family a tour ot
the campus. "It was m\' grandmother's first time here, so I showed
them a little bit of everything," Haynes said. Haynes' family only
spent the day on Saturday because the closest hotel they could
find was an hour from campus.

Many organizations, fraternities and sororities invited
parents to luncheons and activities. Sophomore Lisa D'Arciernn
took her father and her brothers to her sororit)-. Delta Gamma.
"We had a really great time at the luncheon, and I had fun intro-
ducing my dad to ever}'one,'' D'.\rcierno said.

Students also took the opportunity to go shopping while
their parents visited. Wal-Mart, along with the rest of the Valle\'
Mall, was buzzing with families picking up those last few neces-
sities for students' rooms and apartments.

Due to the influx of fi-eshmen this year, an additional
Parents Day was held Nov.2, primarily for the parents of fresh-
men. Many freshman, however, saw this as an opportunity for
their parents to visit twice during the semester.

XPERIENCE

Remember that age-old question "What did you do this
summer?" that gets such reluctant and unenthusiastic stu-
dent responses each year? At college, many upperclass-
men love to talk about their summer experiences as in-
terns. One of the most valuable parts of a college educa-
tion, internships provide practical training, useful contacts
and often unforgettable hving experiences.

Getting an internship can be a source of stress for
some students, but planning and persistence together with
a little luck wiU often prove rewarding. Junior media writ-
ing major Shannon Ballard remembers, "When I contacted
the Olympic Authority in Lake Placid, N.Y. and found
out there were internships available, I sent them my quah-
fications and kept after them until I got an interview and
eventually the internship."

Because it was an election year, some students
looked into internships in government-related areas. Se-
nior art major Evan Cantwell worked on Capitol HUl for
part of the summer. Although a democrat, he worked un-
der Republican Congressman Todd Tiahart of Kansas.
Cantwell said that he worked for his opposing part}' "to
get a basic idea of how things are run on that level of gov-
ernment."

Some lucky students stumbled across great intern-
ship opportunities. Senior Karla Esleeck, an electronic
media production major, sent her resume to the intern co-
ordinator at MTV and went through several interviews.
She spent the summer working in their production de-
partment on a new-format show called "Unfiltered." Be-
tween living in New York City, a learning experience in
itself for the southern Virginian, and rubbing elbows with
MTV personalities, she admits, "It was the best experi-
ence I could ha\'e had during mv summer!"

The experiences gained through internships have
proved invaluable for a number of students who have been
able to line up jobs that will be waiting for them after gradu-
ation.

IN STEP

Imagine a JMU football game without the Marching Royal
Dukes. You probably don't want to: their awesome sound and
intricate marching maneuvers make the halt-time presenta-
tion exciting and entertaining.

This year the Marching Royal Dukes performed to a
series of thematic shows in celebration of their 25th anniver-
sary. To obser\'e this momentous event, the MRDs performed
the music of Star Wars, The Sound of Music, JMU's Great-
est Hits (a collection of the MRD's greatest hits), and selec-
tions from Independence Day, The Wiz and The Blues Broth-
ers. When asked about this year's shows, drum major J.R.
Snow said, "This \ear is a special ^■ear because all the shows
are so dynamic. Being the 25th year, everything is so much
fun and very exciting."

One of the largest groups on campus, the MRDs con-
sisted of 388 individuals. Two years ago, Dr. Pat Rooney, di-
rector ot the MRDs, decided to expand from 200 members
to the current number because of increased enrollment at JMU.
The band itself has a great reputation among coUege bands.
"It's amazing how many students come to this school just for
the band," Rooney said.

Although the marching band was such a large group,
it stLU worked as a cohesive unit. Friendships evolved quickl\'
as a result of the long practices before performances. Fresh-
men MRDs found that being part of the band enabled them
to make friends at JMU before classes even started. "I feel
that I've been able to meet a lot of different people through
marching band," freshman Cor\' Prout said.

In addition to performing at home football games,
the Marching Royal Dukes performed at the Universit\' of
Delaware vs. JMU away game and the Mount Vernon High
School Band competition for exhibition as well as for playoff
games at the end of the season. Another highlight of the
MRDs' season was Parade of Champions, a high school
marching band competition held annually over Fall Break.

Freshman color guard member Cheryl Sule said, "If
it wasn't for band, I wouldn't be here at JMU." It's no wonder
people are aaxious to be a part of this successfiil and enter-
taining group.

—I- OUT

After four long years of quizzes, exams and papers, gradu-
ating seniors were ready to end their college careers in
style. And for students aged 21-23, what better way to
celebrate than with a party sponsored by the university?

Complete with free food and drink, well-known
local bands and great weather, the Senior Pig Roast was
one of the most talked-about events on campus.

"For years we've heard about the Pig Roast but I
was never able to go," said Kelly Meyers. "It was defi-
nitely worth the wait. We had a great time."

Originally scheduled for Reading Day, the Pig
Roast was rescheduled due to the make-up classes held
that day and took place on the Saturday before finals in-
stead. The change in dates didn't phase the students who
were eager to enjoy their last few days of college.

"It could have been held on Reading Day and the
turnout would have been the same," 1996 graduate Andy
Lane said.

The Senior Pig Roast signified an end to a four-
and, for some, five- year college career at JMU. The fes-
tivities began at 1 p.m. and lasted until 5 p.m. when stu-
dents dispersed and moved on to smaller, more intimate
parties to celebrate their final week as college students.

The rain clouds that had plagued the campus ear-
lier in the week cleared out for the day, attracting even
more students. Blankets and lawn chairs covered Godwin
Field. The bands Manute Sol and Happy Van Gogh en-
tertained the crowd of 1,200 that gathered on the grassy
area. Admission to the Pig Roast was S5 per person and
the SGA raised a total of $6,000 from the event.

"I almost didn't go, but I decided to at the last
minute and it was one ot the most fun times I've had in
school. There were people there that I hadn't seen since
freshman and sophomore years, people I'd forgotten about
almost. It was so much more tun than I expected -- ev-
eryone was there."

Quad's "a

to rela\!'

Whether it was someone reading on a bench, sleeping on the
grass or just biking through, students and facult)' could al-
ways be found on the Quad. Wh)' was this large, grassy area
so popular? "It's a nice, quiet place to relax and study with
few distractions," said freshman Lauren DePetris, who often
went to the Quad to escape chaotic dorm life.

For many students, the Quad offered a sense of se-
renir\'. From Kissing Rock to all the trees and benches scat-
tered around, the Quad invited people to sit and collect their
thoughts. "I can sit out here and read or do whatever I want
and run into people. I love that it is so peacefiil," said sopho-
more Maria Cocoros.

Not only was the Quad a great place to sit and loaf
around, it was also the scene ot a number ot events through-
out the year. During early fall and late spring, classes often
met under the trees on Kissing Rock or at the foot of the
steps to Wilson Hall. Before winter break, the Holiday Tree
was displayed at the top of the Quad. The Quad was also a
prime location for snowball fights in the winter and the Battle
of the Bands in the spring.

During the storm on Sept. 6, students took advan-
tage of the conditions on the Quad as they slid around wear-
ing garbage bags in the rain.

The Quad was alwa}'s a place for students to retreat
when they had some free time. "It's nice being outside in the
fresh air with trees all around," said sophomore Sara Methany.
"It's pretty. I also enjoy watching people walk by, even if some-
times it's a litde distracting."

Junior Sarah Whitney explained, "Being able to hang
out on the Quad and enjoy the ftin, social scene on a beauti-
ful day is something I will always treasure."

Students weren't the only ones who appreciated what
the Quad had to offer. Facultv' and administation members
were often seen eating lunch or grading papers around the
Quad when the weather is favorable. Any time of year, the
Quad served the community in all respects.

' y OUT

As the population of James Madison University continued to
grow, so did the campus itself. One of this year's additions was
the University Recreation Center, a 14,000-square-foot facil-
ity that replaced the Godwin Wellness Center in September.

Located on the new CISAT campus across Interstate
81, UREC officially opened its doors at 6:30 a.m. on Monday,
Sept. 2. By 8 a.m., nearly 200 people had taken advantage of
the new center.

Senior Tina Humbertson, one of the first students to
work out on opening day, was impressed by the size of the
building as well as the state-of-the-art equipment. "This is so
much nicer than Godvnn," she said. "More room, more ma-
chines, and the hours are great."

Humbertson was not alone in her praise of the new
center which serves as the home of all JMU recreational pro-
gramming including aerobics, intramurals, aquatics and out-
door adventure programs.

"I was skeptical at first since there was no g)'m on
campus when school started," said junior Josh Lyons. "But now
that it's open, I go almost everyday. I especially like the guest
policy."

Under the UREC guest policy, students and faculty'
members could bring their spouses and immediate famil\', free
of charge. Students also had the option ot bringing friends for
S3.

In addition to the improved guest policy, students were
also impressed with the cardio-fitness area as well as with the
various levels of aerobics offered, the 25 meter x 25 yard swim-
ming pool, the eight racquetball courts and the indoor track
which overlooks the basketball court. UREC also offered wa-
ter-aerobics classes once the pool opened; there were e\'en
movies presented in the pool area that students could watch
while floating around in inflatable tubes.

Although some of the on-campus expansion caused
distress for students and taculr\', L^REC was a welcome change
that was eagerly anticipated and accepted h\ ne;irh- the entire
JMU community.

UNITY

Greek Week is an opportunin' for the Greek communin
to come together as a whole to raise money for a
Panhellenic-sponsorcd charin' and have a great time do-
ing it. This year the competitions ranged from boat races
across Newman Lake to tug-ot-war. These games gave
each sorority and fraternit}' that participated a chance to
show their spirit and enthusiasm. Although the groups
were competing against one another, thcv all had the com-
mon goals of raising money for the Make-a-Wish Foun-
dation and enjoying themselves in the process.

One of the most anticipated competitions of
Greek Week was Greek Sing. Each participating soror-
ir\' and fraternit}- performed a skit that consisted of lip-
synching, singing and dancing. At the end of the night, a
panel of judges chose Sigma Sigma Sigma as the top fin-
ishing sororir\' and Alpha Kappa Lambda as the first-place
fraternit}'. Sophomore Julie Areglado said, "It was great
to see what ideas everyone else had come up with and
were working on all week. There were some really funny
and creative performances."

Greek Week concluded on Greek Row with bar-
becues and bands sponsored by many of the fraternities
that hved there. This event was enjoyed not only by the
Greeks themselves, but by other students as well. "Greek
Week was a chance for all ot the sororities and fraternities
to get together for a week and in one big group. Non-
Greeks also got involved during the week, gi\'ing them a

Alpha Epsilon members, James McLay and Brian Rudd.

After tallying up the week's points, the top win-

Alpha EpsUon acquired the most points for the fraterni-

winners of the week, each sorority and fraternity had its
own \'ictories, the greatest accomplishment being the uni-
fication of the Greek communif\' to help raise money for

A DUKE

What do trains, rains and automobiles have in common? All three,
among other things, are characteristic of JMU. Our school has
come a long way since the annual crowning of the May Queen
and her court in 1908. Whether getting drenched with sudden
rains from sunny skies, hanging out on the Quad or partying on
the Row, students soon learned what being a Duke really meant.

AU students were stuck at some point, waiting for the
train to pass so they could cross over the tracks. Once the wait was
over, the endless trek up the stairs began. The train passing through
campus and the infamous flight of wooden stairs are just some of
the characteristics that set JMU apart from other universities.

Aside from architectural chracteristics, there were a num-
ber of traditions and events that kept students feeling at home
during their years at JMU. Midnight Madness, which took place
on Oct. 14, 1996, celebrated the 25th season of the event which
coach "Lefty" Driesel originated at the University of Maryland.
Smdents as well as faculty members helped kick off the 1996-
1997 basketball season for the Dukes. Midnight Madness was
held at the Convocation Center, and the first 200 fans to show up
received free T-shirts commemorating the event.

From hiking on Skyline Drive to attending concerts at
the Convo, students found numerous ways to identify themselves
with JMU. The Marching Royal Dukes provided a sense of tradi-
tion at football games with their well-known cheers and the tuba
section's crazy antics on the sidelines. Duke Dog played along
with the MRDs throughout the games.

Besides sporting events at Bridgefordi and the Convo,
many groups made themselves known to the JIN'IU commun!t\' bv
holding fiind-raisers and promotions on the Commons. Greeks
and organizations handed out flyers and pamphlets to passersbv
and raised money with themes from "Ugliest on Campus," a charir\'
sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega for the Make-a-Wish Founda-
tion, to Camp He;irtland raising funds for children with AIDS.

"The Ugliest on Ciunpus fi.ind-raiser is a wa^' for tlie whole
community to get involved and have frin while still helping a pro-
gram as important as the Make-a-Wish Foundation," said senior
Heather Griftths, the tiindraising chairperson for Alpha Phi
Omega.

.AJumni flocked back to the Burg on Oct. 4 and 5 for Home-
coming festivities. The preceding week was filled with pre-
liminan' events to prepare the JMU communirv' for the week-
end. Because Homecoming is such a popular annual event at
JMU, the parking lots filled quickly and hotel signs all over
read "No Vacancy" as the spirit traveled throughout campus.

The weekend began on Thursday, Oct. 3 with
MasterCard ACTS, a competitive student talent show spon-
sored by MasterCard and the Universit}' Program Board. Na-
tionally renowned comedian and actor Gerald Kelly hosted
the event in Wilson Hall. Sons of Icarus beat out nine other
bands to win the competition. Sophomore Megan Murphy
said, "I thought they really deserved to win. They had the
most experience and competed like old pros."

A Tribe Called Quest performed for an enthusiastic
crowd of students and alumni at the Convocation Center
Friday night. The concert was brought to JMU by the Uni-
versity' Program Board and the Center for Multicultural Stu-
dent Services.

Saturday's events opened with the Field Festival at
Godwin Field, where alumni could catch up with former
classmates and students could enjoy the festivities in the
beautifijl weather. The Universiri- of Maine felt the heat at
JMU as the Dukes defeated their football team 31-7.
Freshman Carrie Reynolds said, "The alumni were having a
great time around me. I went to the game with my friends
and had a great time. We were so happy that the Dukes won
and enjoyed the band too." The Marching Royal Dukes stole
the show, performing music both at halftime and in a post-
game performance.

For those who were still in the mood to celebrate, the
Step Show, sponsored by the Black Greek Caucus and the
Center for Multicultural Student Services, took place Satur-
day night at the Convocation Center.

' GOOD

Donna Karan and Calvin Klein may streak the runways in
New York and Paris, but they don't do big business in the
'Burg. Fashions here aren't about designer wear or confor-
mity; they're about comfort and looking good.

After four years of high school, everyone has memo-
rized the dos and don'ts of fashion, and students all know
that trends stick around for a whUe, die out and return a few
years later. But keeping up with the latest styles in college is
based on individual taste.

Sophomore Nate McMichael said, "JMU has
changed a lot the past couple of years. The more you look
around, the more individual people you see."

From silky crop tops to plaid flannels, from short
skirts with knee-high tights to corduroy overalls, from muscle
|S;'Vji T-shirts to band-collared dress shirts, the fabrics and colors
of JMU's walkways are constantly changing.

"This year's gotten more conservative than last year,
which was more retro," junior Glennon Doyle said. A fasion
merchandising minor, Doyle said, "JMU has a lot of diver-
sity as opposed to the University of Virginia where every girl
wears a sundress."

Sophomore Joanne Garofala disagreed. "Everyone
conforms here; you definitely see J. Crew styles on both men
and women ."

Although Harrisonburg doesn't have as many shop-
ping options as larger cities. Valley Mall is a popular place to
pick up necessary attire. Whether it's a new pair ot shoes,
silky boxers or an outfit for Friday night's party, fashions are
available to searching students.

The clothing industry, however, definitely caters to
women. Dr. Ruth Shelton, professor ot marketing, said,
"Women have a very keen interest in clothing. Men do too,
but women spend more."

McN'Iichael expressed a similar opinion. "My friends
and I couldn't care less about tashion," he said. "JMU stu-
dents aren't preppy, just casual."

TIME;

In addition to the freshman class that included a record num-
ber of new students, on-campus housing filled up quickl^•,
and some students tound themselves living in Howard
Johnson's across Port Republic Road and in Denton's in
downtown Harrisonburg. Freshman Ryan Brown said, "At
first I was worried about living in a hotel, but it's actualh
been a lot of ftin. I'd much rather live there than in an on-
campus dorm."

The new flow of students also hastened the con-
struction of a new residence haU next to the ISAT building
and led to the ehmination of campus RO. boxes for off-
campus students, a change that was unwelcome by most.

A number of general changes were made to improve
on-campus living, including the return of Amigo's and the
addition of Market One, which added more varien- to the
dining choices available to students.

Construction of the University Recreation Center
across Interstate 81 was a main topic for the fall. Many stu-
dents considered the new lacilit}' nice enough to be a coun-
try club, but without the inconvenience of an expensive mem-
bership: all students were admitted at no charge with the
presentation ot their JAC cards.

Instead of tving up the VAX lines, students were
able to access their mail direcdv through Simeon, a new svs-
tem that was installed over the summer. At first many stu
dents had trouble adjusting to the new system, but it was a
definite improvement over last year's overcrowded system.

The removal of the crosswalk across South Main
Street to Anthony-Seeger HaU was one of the more contro-
versial changes on campus. Sophomores Kari Hoy and Erica
Crane didn't understand why the crosswalk was removed.
"We don't know why they wasted the time and money to
take it down. People are still crossing where it used to be
anyway."

Each new year inevitably brings changes with the
intent to improve the campus environment. In an effort to
improve the qualit)' of student life, the theme of fall semes-
ter seemed to be "out with the old and in with the new."

@ne of the biggest
changes was the emer-

buildings and a dining faciht)*.

As a result of overcrowding, many tresh-
men were housed in Howard Johnson's
on Port Repubhc Road. With double
beds and nearby parking, Hojo's became the focus
of much envy.

For SMAD and SCOlM students, among
many others, the removal of the Anthony-

School spirit seems to be everywhere. Walking through
campus, it is easy to find students wearing hats, sweatshirts
and T-shirts proudly supporting the Dukes. Sophomore
Reshma Shetty loves walking through campus. "My fa-
vorite place is right in firont of Wilson Hall. There is just
a feeling I get of pride and happiness."

As an orientation assistant, sophomore Kate
Springer enjoyed watching the incoming freshmen inter-
act with one another. "Their JMU spirit was building
even before they truly began their lives here on campus,"
she said. But enthusiasm doesn't disappear after fresh-
man year. Sophomore Denise Seipel noticed that spirit is
evident even in the flower gardens. "We are all surrounded
by purple and gold. It's even in the flowers!"

Attending sporting events was a primary evening
and weekend activity. Sherry Montgomery said, "When
I go to the football games, I can feel the spirit in the air.
Some people wear hats to show their school spirit while
others paint their bodies in purple and gold."

In addition to the competitive spirit of the ath-
letes, the Dukettes, cheerleaders, Marching Royal Dukes
and pep band all generated enthusiasm from the fans.
Duke Dog's wild antics also helped to psyche up the crowd.
"It's hard not to be happy when an oversized dog comes
running up to you and smothers you in a huge hug," jun-
ior Nicole Steffey said about Duke Dog. Stetfey added
that Duke Dog seems to bring out the child in all of us.

Having such an energized mascot held everyone's
attention at games. "Duke Dog is hilarious. He really gets
the crowd into the game and keeps them involved," fresh-
man Jeff Morris said.

Everyone appreciated JMU for different reasons.
"The spirit here is something almost indescribable," said
sophomore Jessica Cole. She said that she loves absolutely
everything about JMU. "School spirit is something dif-
ferent to everyone, and I think that's why it's so special."

Can God be found on a college campus? Campus religious
groups have made names for themselves at JMU through
weekly meetings, prayer sessions, peer groups, seminars and
worhsip services. From the Baptist Student Union to
InterVarsit\' to the Muslim Coalition, faith is a fact of life at
JMU.

Senior Dave Grulke said, "I think religion is prett\
open in the sense that it's not difficult to worship on campu^
or practice through organizations like CCM or Presb)teriaii
Campus Ministrv."

Although Grulke, like most students, doesn't feci
threatened b\- others' religious beliefs, many students belie\c
the diversit}' at JMU could be better.

May 1996 graduate Amy Pell said she went to a
couple ot dilterent meetings during her four vears at JMU
and also took part in classroom discussions about religion.
"The atmosphere in class isn't like, "You have to believe this;'
it's more about, 'This is what /believe.'" she said.

Senior Rachel Lark had a contradictor)' experience
in a philosophy class. "I used the Bible to back up my argu-
ment, and the class went off on me," she said.

Although there isn't too much debate in Dr. Grace
Burford's Religion 101 class, she said college students arc
definitely challenged. "Students should keep an open mind
because discussions can go too far either way," she said. "It's
all about balance."

Religion and philosophy classes are part of the core
curriculum forJAlU's general education requirements. Fresh-
man iAllison Williams said she thinks it's a good idea because
"you get another viewpoint." Some students, however, think
a religion course should be an option rather than a require-
ment. Junior Mark Saw)'er said, "Religion shouldn't be re-
quired because we live in America; it goes against our prin-
ciples."

Whether or not religion is part of even,' student's
personal life, campus religious groups at JMU are heard, and
faith does make a statement. As Dr. Burford said, "Students
take religion seriously."

TALENT

Walking down South Main Street, many people do not no-
tice the Uttle white house that sits a few buUdings away from
Anthony-Seeger Hall. Those who have been there realize
that it is a place like no other on the campus. Zirkle House
consists of several galleries which display student artwork.
There are three main galleries: The Artworks Gallery, The
Other Gallery and The New Image Gallery. This year the
first two galleries consisted of student paintings and
sculptures, while The New Image Gallery displayed the
photography of visiting scholars.

Anyone interested in showing art work had to go
through a review process at the end of a semester. A student
committee evaluated the work and decided whether or not
artists would have their work shown. Fred Struckholtz said,
"I was rejected after my first review process, but then I got a
show after my second. I think that they look for uniform,
consistent work which carries a main theme. My second
samples seem to be more of what thev were looking for."

An opportunit}' for students to direct and organize
Zirkle House was available every semester. Student director
Jessica Brunow said, "It's a two-semester commitment. A
person has to be the assistant director for a semester, which
earns two credits, and then the assistant director moves up to
the director position for the following semester, which earns
three credits."

The shows lasted for two weeks and were open for
anyone to come in and look around. One show featured
papermakings by Michelle Benedict, who said, "I especiallv
liked this show on papermaking because it was hands on.
People can look at it, and it is also tactUe. I also like for people
to get what they can out of my art without my telling them
too much, and I think papermaking gives them the chance
to make their own conclusions."

Brunow said, "When we choose the art we show, we
look at what will show well together and often get interest-
ing results." The "results" kept students returning to Zirkle
House to discover the talents of JMU's artists.

Giving students a chance to explore other cultures as well as
their own, many clubs on campus enjoyed a year of great success.
Not onl)- did four separate clubs come together for a joint
multicultural event, but mam' ot the clubs held their own pro-
grams to help the communir\' become more aware ot diversir\'.

Taking place on Samrday, Oct. 26 in the P.C. Ballroom,
the World Jam was a DJ dance org-anized b\' the Indian Paki-
stani Student Association, the International Students Associa-
tion, Club Latino and the Asian American Association. Parul
Shah, a representative of Indian/Pakistani Student Associa-
tion, said, "It was a place where people could ha\'e a good time
without haNnng to worr}' about race."

International Students Association gave Internation.il
students an opportunir\' to get together with people from their
own countries and helped them to adapt to their new one. Mem-
bers participated in To\s for Tots, volunteered at a nursing home
and adopted families for Christmas. Annakarin KuUman, an im-
migrant from Sweden, said, "ISA helps build a bridge for these
students from ;ill over the world so that the\' can tee! more com-
fortable as well as have ftin."

The Romanian Club, founded by Sandy Wright, also
participated in a number of events such as hiking trips, visiting
the embassy in Washington, D.C. and holding a dance. The
club hosted many professors from the Romanian American
University and developed a World Wide Web page to publicize
the club and increase membership in the coming \ears.

Even though it was only its second year. Club Latino
accomplished many goals. Through the College Partnership Pro-
gram they adopted a high school and brought the seniors to
JMU for a day, giving them a taste of college life. They also
participated in tutoring, translating and a Big Brother-Big Sis-
ter program. Club leader Chris Diaz said, "Club Latino is for
everybod)', Hispanic or not. AH you need to have is an open
mind and a willingness to leam new things."

Started this year by Pamela Kralje\ich, the Italian Club
organized a dance as well as dinners that followed in the Italian
tradition. A trip to a local \ineyard operated in Italian tradition

IN STYLE

"Home is where the heart is!" Many students followed their
hearts when they made the decision to live in a house. Houses
provided students not only vnth shelter, but also a place to call
their own and share among friends. Each house took on the
characteristics of its owners, and together they made it through
events from stormy weather to raging parties.

Finding an affordable and covenient place to reside dur-
ing the school year can be difficult. A house is an affordable
option, allows a large number of people to room together and is
often located near campus. Instead of being cramped up in a
residence hall or apartment, most houses gave students more
space. Houses also provided students with a greater feeling of
freedom regarding guidelines for decoration and noise.

To make a house unique many students chose to name
the house in which they resided. Traditional residences include
the Graffiti, Punk, Funk, Gingerbread, Out, Welcome, Tree,
Green and Spaghetti houses as well as those belonging to
Greeks. Because each original name is instantly recognized
around campus, these houses are easy to find. Smdents often
went to these houses to hang out with friends, have a good time
and just chill. Junior Mike Thomas said,"I really like living in a
house that's in a neighborhood with other students, because we
can hang out and stiU be independent." Thomas lived in a house
with friends on West Market Street in Harrisonburg.

Some houses are located closer to campus than
Thomas's. The Graffiti House is located on the comer of CantreU
Avenue and Ott Street and sits above a wall with a huge, color-
fiil mural. Last year the mural included scenes from the history
of Harrisonburg and JMU. Recently repainted, it now depicts
a beautifiil, abstract floral pattern.

Home to members ofWX[M is the Spaghetti House.
It is considered one of the oldest named houses near campus.
This year many traditional houses were lost as JMU evolved
and began to take on a new personality', but the Spaghetti House
was not one of them.

Block parties were often found near the Punk House
where many students went to hear live music. As new editions
to the list, these houses have become popular among students.

NO FEAR

For adventurous students, there is a world out there which
is beyond the imagination, and it is not much hirther than
Harrisonburg. There is skydiving, paintball, hiking and
the Shenandoah Caverns. Each of these daredevil activi-
ties offers a different aspect of living life on the edge.

Skydiving is performed at the Louisa County Air-
port, about an hour and fifteen minutes away, by Skydivc
Virginia. They offers "an opportunity to experience vour
own 'freefall fantasy." They offer several different pro-
grams for anyone over the age of eighteen. Skydive Vir-
ginia teaches those with adventurous spirits to "extend
their wings and experience the 'ultimate natural high.' "
Junior Steve Voss explains his sk\'diving experience as "five
minutes of the best high I have ever felt."

Another activity for courageous students is
paintball. Pointblank Paintball is located in Harrisonburg.
Paintball is a game which challenges the imagination, it
stresses "teamwork, planning and good humored compe-
tition." Students equipped in their safety goggles,
facemasks and coveralls were well protected from the
paint-filled capsules fired at them by their opponents.
Paintball can be played over and over again, each time
creating new games and rules.

Hiking is another popular adventure for college
students. Around the Shenandoah Valley there are nu-
merous places to hike. Sophomore Dana Berle said, "Sky-
line Drive is a great place to get into nature and forget
about the stresses of school. I like hiking there as a way
to relax for a short time, especially near the waterfalls."

There are many places for the boldest of students
to release their adventurous energy. Each of these places
and adventures offers a variety of activities correspond-
ing to one's fearlessness and aflfordabilirv. Each place of-
fers a different experience and, although the prices varv,
can one really put a price on a great adventure?

COLORS

As the academic year passed, students encountered the many
contrasts of seasons in the Shenandoah Valley. Whether it
was Uving through the heat of the summer or trjdng to re-
main healthy despite the bitter cold of winter, the weather
had a great deal of control over each day's happenings.

Many activities on campus took place during the
scorching summer days. Orientation assistants and other sum-
mer staff members braved the hot weather while preparing
freshmen and transfer students for their approaching years at
college. Summer session students were fortunate enough to
be housed in air-conditioned residence halls which pro\ided
some relief from the heat.

When students arrived in late August, the summer
heat was still in Ml blaze. Move-in days were complicated
by the warm temperatures, and, as most residence halls were
not equipped with air-conditioning, residents of Wampler
and the Hillside Halls became the objects of much envy. In
mid-September, the campus became a water ride during the
flood that resulted from Hurricane Fran. While even'one was
excited that classes were canceled due to the sudden natural
disaster, many students were troubled with damage done to
their cars or houses. The flooding was inconvenient for many
who needed to get places, but students also spent time splash-
ing in the deep puddles.

The cool winds of the tall also brought forth a new
view of the campus. The tree-lined Quad burst into shades
of bright orange, red and yellow, and fallen leaves decorated
the ground. Gone were the RiU green leaves of summer and
spring. In November, students piled on layers of clothing for
the frigid temperatures and early snowfalls, while a few days
later, temperatures rose back into the mid-seventies.

While Harrisonburg became a winter wonderland
several times throughout November, December and Januarv',
the season remained relatively mild. Freshman Tom Opfer
said, "After the Blizzard of 1996, it was disappointing that
we had onlv a few snowfalls.

Enjoying the carefree days of summer and the chilly
nights of winter, students were given a taste of every season.

With a whirlwind of events, some planned, some
quite spontaneous, the 1996-97 school year was definitely
one to remember.

One ot the most anticipated events of the year, the
Summer Olympics in Adanta, Ga., left the world stunned
bv its triumphs and tragedies. The excitement of the Ameri-
can women's g^-mnastics team capturing its first gold mcd.il
and decathlete Dan O'Brien finally winning his much-an-
ticipated gold were overshadowed only by the bombing in
Centennial Ohmpic Park, which claimed a life and shook
the nation.

Junior Julie Diaz, an Atlanta native, remembered
the games. "It was really scar)' to think.xomeone would plant
a bomb when so manv people were around. For a few days,
some people stayed in, but after a while everj'one tried to get
over it and continue on with the events."

While the summer was winding down, the 1996
presidential election was just getting under way. The Re-
publican parn- nominated former-Kansas senator Robert J.
Dole, and the Democrats again requested the services of in-
cumbent Bill Clinton. Reform Part)' candidate Ross Perot
couldn't seem to stay awav from the action, but his share ot
the vote in 1996 was minimal to his showing in the 1992
election. After a hard media battle with Dole, Clinton won
and began his second term as president

Around the same time as the election. World AIDS
Day was held, to remember the victims of the yet-incurable
disease and boost funds for research.

Senior Parul Shah attended the activities in Wash-
ington, D.C. "It was reallv a moving experience... it was
great to see so many people care, and I think the event reallv
raised awareness."

As the centur)' began to wind down and societ)' be-
gan to brace itself for the future, many events characterized
changes around the world. The members of the JMU stu-
dent body, however, could only brace themselves for what
the fijture held.

HE HOUSE

During a year full of on-stage entertainment from countr\' to
fijnk to pop music, students had a number ot opportunities to
attend concerts on campus. Among the most talked-about per-
formers who came to JMU were A Tribe Called Quest, Patrv
Loveless and Lone Star, Ani DiFranco and Rusted Root.
Concerts were arranged and presented by organizations such
as the University Program Board, the Center for Multicultural
Student Services and WXJM according to who students ex-
pressed an interest in seeing.

Countn' music tans enjoved the sounds ot Patt\' Love-
less and opening band Lone Star, who performed at the Con-
vocation Center on Nov. 17. "Party Loveless continued her
tradition as one of the leading ladies of countn*' music," sopho-
more Laura Thacher said. "She kept the audience on its teet
during the fast songs and showed her sincerity through her
slow songs."

Other types of music were also featured over the course
of the year. That same weekend, Ani DiFranco played for an
excited crowd in Wilson Hall forWXJM's first sold-out con-
cert. When asked for her opinion of the concert, junior
Mar\'catherine Smith quoted one of DiFranco's songs and said,
"I am 32 tlavors and then some — that's all I have to say."
DiFranco has recently been featured in SPIN and Rolling Stone.

One of the year's biggest events came to the Convo
on Jan. 20 when Rusted Root proWded a sold-out performance.
Senior Kristin Wahrheit said, "During 'Send Me On My Way'
there was a point where the whole place was alive; ever\'one
was dancing and it was incredible. It was unforgettable."

Returning to his tour bus after the performance.
Rusted Root vocalist Michael Glabicki described the crowd
as "enthused" and said that although the band has a different
favorite song for each performance, the group's pick for the
e\'ening was "Lost In a Crowd."

Glabicki added that there were some points at which
he felt the crowd was a little too excited. Wahrheit agreed and
said, "I loved that they [Rusted Root] told the crowd not to
body surf. It makes me nervous that someone is going to fall."

EARLY

The turning of the leaves and the chill in the air indicate the
beginning of autumn for many people. For sports fans, how-
ever, the changing season signifies the beginning of football
season. Although some enjoyed watching the game from the
comfort of their own recliner, many took advantage of the
season to enjov the good weather and the company ot friends
in a pre-game celebration. Tailgating became a ritual as asso-
ciated with football as hot dogs and cheerleaders.

"It is a lot of fun to hang out with your friends before
the game actually starts," said sophomore Jessica Dowd\.
"Sometimes the tailgate is more tun than the actual game. "

Homecoming and Parents Weekends brought out the
largest crowds for tailgating. Tables, grills and food covered
the fields adjacent to the stadium. Purple and gold banner^
displaying spirit and support flew from every car passing
though campus.

"I always look forward to Homecoming because it
gives me a chance to catch up with my friends who have gradu-
ated," said junior Amy Springfloat. "And what better place to
do that than at a tailgate?"

Despite rain clouds hovering over campus during Par-
ents Weekend, faithful Dukes fans still managed to enjoy them-
seh'es. The Godwin Fieldfest, the largest tailgate party in the
Valley, offered live music, food and company for those die-
hard tailgaters.

"I really enjoyed showing my parents around campus
and taking them to the Fieldfest," said freshman Jeff Morris.
"We had a lot of fijn together."

The sun shone brightly on alumni and students out
on Homecoming weekend, coaxing even more people outside
to enjoy the weather and company.

"The car was jamming and there were people all over
campus just enjoying the weekend and each other's company,"
said senior Am\' Feezor.

No matter the weather or the projected outcome of
the game, devoted fans made their support known through
their enthusiasm not only during but also before the game.

THE 'BURG

Many JMU students do not realize that the city of
Harrisonburg is filled with unique locales and hidden nooks
that complement JMU. However, with a litde searching and
disposing of stereotypes, students found a whole other world
outside of JMU's walls.

Reddish Knob is less than an hour outside of
Harrisonburg. Not only is the view spectacular there, but ev-
eryone was allowed free access. Novice stargazer junior Kelly
Jensen went to Reddish Knob last year in search of a comet.
"It's a cool place to go to watch the stars," she said. "You can
see for mUes around."

Massanutten resort and ski area was another favorite
escape from the pressures of schoolwork. Chad O'Neil fre-
quented Massanutten on Monday Cheap Ski Nights simply
because it was a "good place to go when you're short on dough."

Within walking distance from campus, the Arbore-
tum provided a nice getaway for nature lovers who did not feel
like traveling far or who did not have cars. Students could
lounge by the pond with a significant other or trek on the
mulch-laden trails.

An intriguing part of JMU's surroundings was the
downtown area. Junior Heather Ruhlmann described it as "a
place with a lot of Mom and Pop shops." She telt that this
enabled students "to get a better feel for the town." One of
these locales was Kline's Dairy Bar. Deep in the heart of
Harrisonburg, Kline's provided "a good, inexpensive, mid-week
break from studying," said junior Dave}' Ahearn.

More audacious spirits hunted down places such as
Jess's Quick Lunch, the Little GriU and the American Indian
Cafe, all situated in or near downtown Harrisonburg. Junior
Kris Anderson described Jess's Quick Lunch as a "neat, old-
fashioned southern lunch counter with traditional greas\' food.
I go there when I'm sick of fast food and I don't want to wait
to get served," he said. Junior Jon Herbst was a fan of the
American Indian Cafe "because there is such a warm atmo-
sphere and the tood is wonderful; it's also \'en' chill." Who
knows what other hot spots are waiting to be disco\'ered in
Harrisonburg?

AWAY

Spring Break was a time for students to relax, catcli up on
schoolwork and enjo^' themselves. Some went home to
visit their families, some went on vacation with friends and
some stayed in the 'Burg. Wherever they went, students
agreed that the\' needed to take a break.

Many students returned home to be with their fami-
lies and high school buddies. Sophomore Jason Inman vis-
ited his mom in Richmond. "She moved there after I gradu-
ated high school, so I didn't know anyone there. I had a
good time, though — I t\-ped an essay, but when I returned
to school, I found that I had left it at home and had to have
my mom fax it to me!"

Although the weather in Virginia was not as warm
as it usually is, students were glad to have the vacation from
classes. "It re-energized me!" said Karla Gonzalez, a sopho-
more who spent her break hanging out with her family in
Northern Virginia.

For her week oft, junior MarvBeth Coleman went
to Oaxaca Mexico with a group from Catholic Campus Min-
istr}'. "I had gone on a trip with them last spring, and I had
such a great time that I wanted to go again!" In addition to
helping around the communit)' and spending time with the
residents of Oaxaca, Coleman spent the "first few days tour-
ing the surrounding areas. One day we went to Zocolo, the
center ot town which housed many vendors in an outdoor
market who had items for sale." Coleman also said that "it
was an experience to see a different culture [in action] and to
be in a place where English is not the primary language."

Senior Sarah Weglian visited a friend in England
who was participating in the study abroad program. She
spent the week traveling around Bath, London and Windsor.
"I had been to Germany and France before, but this was my
first time in England," Weglian said. "It was ven,' prett}'
there."

The mid-semester holida}' allowed students to take
a break and come back focused for the second half of the
semester.

Many people believe that the ROTC program turns out
nothing but future G.I. Joes ready to fight, but it in fact
does much more. Students don't have to major in the mili-
tary field to wear ROTC's camouflage uniforms; however,
the program's main goal is to produce officers for the army.
The participants can also choose to join one of the groups
within the ROTC program such as the MiUtar\' Honors
Society, Officer Christian Fellowship or the Color Guard.

This year's ROTC program included 200 mem-
bers, roughly 80 of whom were freshmen. A significant
number of the ROTC members were female. Women par-
ticipants are expected to be on the same level as men and
are judged by the same standards. Senior Leah Komara, a
second heutenant, said, "ROTC was the best opportunit}-
of my Ute. It has opened so many doors and taught me so
much about leadership. I have felt comfortable and equal
on every level."

ROTC training started right at the beginning of
the year. The third- and fourth- year members even had to
come back to JMU early to get oriented before the new
recruits arrived. All participants had physical training three
days a week for one hour all )'ear. Captain Vic Hearne,
assistant professor of military science, said the students also
have lab once a week and up to three lectures a week. The
lab session is like an army battalion where the freshmen are
soldiers, the sophomores are sergeants, and the juniors and
seniors are officers.

ROTC hosted many activities on and around cam-
pus for the students including two blood drives, rappeling
off Eagle Hall and helicopter rides as part of the STX field-
training exercises. ROTC members also participated in the
Staunton 10-mile Run and the Highway 13 Cleanup.

Senior cadet Ted Fluke said, "IMv experience in
the ROTC program was unforgettable. I've not only met a
lot of people, but I've been able to do a lot of crazy stuff I
couldn't do an\-\vhere else. It's great, and everyone should
try it."

From Habitat for Humanity to Alpha Phi Omega to the re-
born IMadison Honors Club, students at JMU can find nu-
merous opporutnities to give their time and eftort to help
others. It is clearU' evident that JMU students do care about
their surroundinii; community and world contrary to public
opinion about our generation.

According to students involved in Center for Ser-
\icc Learning (CSL), the program is a rewarding experience.
Junior Jessica Tencza worked with the environmental agency
of CSL. She organized an event through the Greener
Harrisonburg organization which invoked planting flowers
by Interstate 81. "It was a good experience because it got me
involved in the Harrisonburg communitv," she said. "CSl.
placed me vet)- quickly and they were verj- cooperative."

Junior Jennifer Woodworth said, "Everybody is so
friendly in the office. I couldn't believe there was a program
so devoted to helping other people, especiallv in the
Harrisonburg communiri' and not just on campus."

In addition to CSL, a number of smaller organiza-
tions made themselves available for service. Campus Assault
Response Helpline, a group ot about 25 members, is on call
from noon ever}' Thursday until noon the following Mon-
day. After 20 hours of training, volunteers can go online, al-
ternating 24-hour shifts each weekend. Each semester, CARE
holds Carestock, a festival with local band performing at The
Office in downtown Harrisonburg.

Another popular sevice organization at JMU is the
national co-ed fraterniri' Alpha Phi Omega, of which Presi-
dent Clinton is a brother. APO works with the Association
of Retarded Citizens, Harrison House (for the homeless).
Salvation Army and the Society for the Prevention of Cru-
elrv to Animals among manv others. "We have so much flin
while we work on ditterent ser\'ice projects that we just look
forward to more," senior Sonal Dutt said.

The various service organizations provided an outlet
for students who wanted to make a difference in the commu-
nity'.

Whether it was the traditional cat, dog or a more
obscure pet, students found pets to be not only a
source of fun, work and amusement, but also of un-
conditional love. The wagging tails, purring, chirp-
ing and cuddling all gave students the comfort they
needed after a long day.

While off-campus students often had an
endless selection of pets to choose from, those who
lived on-campus were limited to Bubbles, the pet
fish; however, a few worked around the rules. Fresh-
man Kara Bohen and her suitemates thought a frog
qualified as fish-like because it lived in a bowl. "Mv
suitemate Jenny loves frogs, and the rest of us just
wanted to have an unusual pet. We were at Wal-
Mart one weekend, saw 'Fred,' and bought him,"
commented Bohen. Unfortunately, the frog died
during the first semester, but she explained, "we
loved him so much that we kept him for three days
after he passed away."

Those living off campus had a managerie of
animals running around. Manv students caught the
attention of onlookers, by bringing their pets to cam-
pus everv day, especially when it was a lizard, bunny
or some other unique animal. Dogs often accom-
panied their owners while running to class and on
errands.

No matter what the circumstances, students
•ilways held a special place in their hearts for their
pets. Some sttidents were glad to live off campus so
that thev had the space thev needed to properly care
for a pet.

"I can see why students aren't supposed to
have pets in the dorms," junior Pvlogan Daniels said.
"In such close quarters, it's not tair for a pet like a
bunny. In an apartment, though, our rabbit Potsy
has room to explore when we take him out of the
cage where he sleeps."

FUN

Even though spring semester ended in early May, students re-
mained busy throughout the summer. Whether it was a job.
classes or just plain Rin, everv'one took the chance to gain ex-
perience for the future and take a break from the normal
school year.

For many, a summer job provided a great opporrunirv
to miike some mone\' and enhance a resume. Through waiting
tables, lifeguarding, building houses or Piping, to name a few,
students got a chance to enter the real work world, even if onl\
for a litde while. Bv the end of the summer, these students
had gained Viiluablc experiences, unforgettable memories and
a different kind of education. Sophomore Jenn\' Rogers learned
to like cotiee this summer during her early hours as a lobb\
agent for United Airlines at Dulles Airport in Washington.
D.C. Rogers also got a chance to meet a nuinber of people
including the D.C . United SoccerTeam, KiU'eem Abdul-Jabar
and some foreign Ohmpians.

Sophomore Mark Oates spent his summer in Ana-
heim, California playing in the Disneyland All-Amcrican
College Band. A music major, Oates was one of nvenr\' stu-
dents who were selected from across the countn' to perform all
styles of music five times a day, five days a week in Disne)iand.
"It was one of the best musical experiences ot m\ lite," Oates
said. "Just being in southern California was great, but to get a
chance to play my trumpet in the happiest place on earth was
an unforgettable experience."

Students also used summer break as a chance to travel.
As bassoonist for the D.C. Youth Orchestra, sophomore Jer-
em}' Martin traveled Western Europe for 10 days, performing
and sightseeing in cities such as Amsterdam, Paris and Brus-
sels. "I will never forget seeing the Eiffel Tower at night,"
Martin said, "or how \'our footsteps glowed when you w;ilked
on the phosphorescent algae on the sand of the North Sea in
Belgium."

While others had their own unique adventures,
some students took classes to get ahead or get caught up.
Yet even with all ot the hard work, die summer was t'dled with
memories and \aluable experiences never to be torgotten.

HEALTHY

The annual health fair, which kicked off Homecoming
Weekend, had a new location and more to offer this year
than in the past. The Jeep Eagle Collegiate Health and Fit-
ness Tour was held on the new field behind the University
Recreation Center this year in order to have more space tor
activities and information booths.

The health fair is not unique to JMU; it actually
travels to about 50 universities and colleges each year. A team
of 18 staff members and tour director Ken Gistedt tour the
United States from Sept. 1 through Dec. 15 and then again
from January through May. Their entourage includes five
26-foot trucks, a 33-foot trailer and four automobiles. The
tour travels to two schools a week, bringing fitness activities
such as the Gladiator Duel, the Rock Chmbing Challenge
and the Human Fly Wall.

DueUng at the Gladiator Duel were seniors Chris
Gough and Meghan Zimmerman. After defeating
Zimmerman 3-1, Gough said triumphantly, "I won 3-1 be-
cause I feD on purpose."

Zimmerman, however, had a different take on the
outcome of their match. "He won because I felt bad for him,"
she said, smiling.

The Rock Climbing Challenge was another main
attraction at the Jeep Eagle Collegiate Health and Fitness
Tour. Freshman Lessley Mader almost made it to the top. "I
did this in Connecticut one time but this one's tougher be-
cause of how it curves over," Mader said.

The health fair had a number of commercial spon-
sors aside from Jeep Eagle. There were booths and events
sponsored by TWA, Details Magazine, Lipton Iced Tea,
Plymouth, Arrid, Trojan, Clearly Canadian and Discover
Each booth offered free sample items. One of the most popu-
lar attractions was a new drink, Orbitz, from Clearlv Cana-
dian.

Local band The J in Mary also appeared at the event,
providing free musical entertainment to participants and
employees alike. They performed on stage ne.\t to the en-
trance to the field.

ABROAD

Every year hundreds of students travel to a different coun-
tr\' and study abroad. JMU offers international study abroad
programs as well as exchange and internship opportuni-
ties in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Latin America,
the Carribean, Asia and Africa. Each program is different
and offers unique opportunities, depending on the inter-
ests of the students involved.

The Office of International Education coordinates
the programs. Alost students study abroad for one semes-
ter during their junior year, but some sophomores and se-
niors go abroad as well. Junior Rvan Thompson studied in
Salamanca, Spain, in the spring ot 1996, when he was a
sophomore. Thompson decided to study abroad as a sopho-
more because of his "growth in Spanish classes."

Although studying abroad is not limited to for-
eign language majors, some programs have a language re-
quirement for applicants. Most programs also include
courses that participants can take to earn credit toward their
majors and minors. Senior Stephani Martinell studied in
London duringthe spring of 1996."! figured London would
be the best place to go for my major," Martinell said. "I
want to be an English teacher."

Students go abroad to see new cultures, people and
social behaviors, but it takes time to adjust to living in a
foreign country. "Language is the biggest route to the cul-
ture," Thompson said.

Some students were faced with bigger language
barriers than others. Senior Robert Keeling spent five
months in Tokyo, Japan, last year. "Language was a prob-
lem, especially the reading part," Keeling said. Japanese
has over 3,000 characters and Keeling knew onlv a few
hundred. "I got lost my first day of class."

College is one of the best times for an individual
to go abroad. After studving abroad, students often return
with a stronger sense of self and a better understanding
not only of other cultures but also of their own.

HE SPIRIT

Holidays are a time of bustling activity'. The air seems
to have an electric quality about it, and people tend to
be in the best of moods. Time passes quickly when
one is preparing for a special holiday.

Students from all over the world attend JMU.
Each one carries warm memories and brings his or
her own family holiday traditions to JMU. Many pre-
pared tor holidays with triends by attending parties
and dances or decorating their apartments or rooms.
Aleredith Gee and her roommates decorated their
apartment on Christmas and Halloween "to get in the
spirit ot the upcoming festivities." Many students in
the dorms also decorated with jack-o'-lanterns in the
windows, trees in the lobby, lights around the win-
dows and posters on the walls.

Excitement traveled through the air as each
holiday approached. Many sororities and fraternities
as well as other campus groups held dances to cel-
ebrate. Other students dressed up in costumes, at-
tended the HolidayFest or gave out Easter baskets.
While the school year includes a number of holidays
from Columbus Day to St. Patrick's Day, not every-
one has the time or energy to celebrate each and ev-
ery one. Hilary Stautfer said, "I don't like Halloween
because I don't like to dress up and go trick-or-treat-
ing. However, I really love Christmas, especially when
JMU puts up the huge tree on the Quad."

However, holidays sometimes brought out feel-
ings of sadness and loneliness for students who were
away from home, especially when others were full ot
spirit and happiness.

Overall, holidays brought out he best in
people. They united the student community at JMU,
creating a sense of wholeness as a campus at their
home away trom home.

life.

When the stress ot college lite builds up and takes over
a student's life, there is only one solution. An age-old
form of relaxation, "hanging out" not only alleviates
stress and worrv, but it also allows students to take a
break and enjoy themselves lor a while.

For sophomore Ryan Green, hanging out en-
tailed anything that didn't involve thinking about
school. "I'll waste time watching TV, sitting around
with my roommates, talking on the phone — whatever."

For students who did their studying at home,
roommates, TV and telephones often caused distrac-
tions that eventually led to hanging out. "No matter
how hard I try to read, I always end up in the living
room talking to my roommates," senior Matthew
Swanson said. "On a good day we'll head down to
Willoby's for a couple of hours."

Local restaurants were as good a place as any
for hanging out with friends. "I like to go to the
Beanery," said senior Sarah Ebbers. "It gives my friends
and I a chance to get away from home for a while and
enjov each other's company."

Senior Dave Chintala otten spent his evenings
at his girlfriend's apartment. "I like to go over there
to get away from my work and relax," he said. "She
and her roommates are usually hanging out talking any-
way so it's hard for me to go back to work."

For students who didn't give in to the urge dur-
ing the week, hanging out was reserved for weekends.
"I usually take the weekends off from my schoolwork,"
junior Johnny McBride said. "I'll go to a football game
during the day and part)' all night long. That's the best
n'pe of hanging out."

No matter what form it took, hanging out was
an integral social aspect of college life that many stu-
dents perfected early in their college careers.

^ THE STAGE

Whether it was dance, music or theater, students and organi-
zations provided artistic performances for everyone. The
School ofTheatre and Dance presented a number of concerts
and plays as did the School of Music. Often they combined
efforts to put on productions such as operas and musicals.

As part of the Masterpiece Season, the School of
Dance put on a number of concerts. The Virginia Repertory-
Dance Company held its home concert in December, and the
Contemporary Dance Company held its concert in March.
Both groups were made up of current JMU dance majors who
planned to dance professionally.

The School ot Music put on a number ot concerts,
showcasing numerous bands, orchestras and choirs. Whether
it was faculty, the Guitar Ensemble, the Wind Symphony or
the Madison Singers, there were opportunities almost ever\'
week throughout the year to hear and enjoy the hard work ot
these musicians. In addition, the School of Music teamed up
with the School ofTheatre and Dance to perform the opera
Hansel and Gretel and the musical Kiss Me Kate.

The School ofTheatre and Dance also presented a
number of performances throughout the year. In November,
Agnes of God ran for a week in Latimer-Shaefifer Theatre as
did The Professional in April. Aside from these major plays,
there were also numerous small productions. Becoming part
of the Stratford Players was a great way to get involved in
theatre on a purely e,\'perimental level. Senior James Pinkowski,
who directed "Pots and Pans," liked being part of the group.
"It's a great way to get involved with the shows they produce
in Theatre II. It's all experimental theater, and I enjoy it," he
said. Ashly Covington, director of "Titanic," agreed. "It's a
great way for freshmen theater majors especially to meet ev-
erybody and get involved. It's an advantage theater majors
have: thev are able to learn how to do ever\thing they want to
early on in their career," she said.

Throughout the year, JMU offered students and the
public not only great entertainment, but also great oppormni-
tles for performance experiences.

Every school has a unique style of architecture. Newer schools
have modern structures with sharp angles and straight edges in
an art deco fashion. Older schools incorporate piUars, arches
and smoothl}' cur\'ed structures. Here at JMU, we have the
best ot all worlds. Some buildings on campus have arches, pil-
lars and bluestone faces, all of which create an old-fashioned,
almost regal feeling. Other buildings have more modem char-
acteristics, including maze-like office areas and marble floors.

One of the newest buildings on campus is the Univer-
sity Recreation Center. Once confined to a recreational room
located in the basement of Godwin Hall, the Wellness Center
expanded to include a brand new recreational tacilir\' tor all
students and facnilt)' to use. The new building had a large pool,
spacious weight rooms with state-of-the-art equipment, an
indoor track and a huge basketb;ill court. A new bridge was
constructed to allow students to safely cross Interstate 81 to
reach UREC, the Convocation Center and the new CISAT
building.

.•Vlthough many students know which building on cam-
pus is the newest, on!}' a few, if an\', know which buildings are
the oldest. In 1908 Madison was called the Normal and In-
dustrial School for Women at Harrisonburg. Under the direc-
tion ot the founders, the first two buildings constructed for the
school were Science Hall and Dormitory No. 1 . Over the years,
the architecture of the uni\'ersir\' changed building bv build-
ing, while the "architecture" of the student body changed from
single sex to co-ed. Today James Madison Universirv' still has
its two original buildings, now known as Mauri- Hall and Jack-
son Hall. Some of the older residence halls, such as Converse
HaU and Cleveland Hall, create a special effect for campus.
Sophomore Sara Dinwoodie, a resident of Gifford Hall, said,
"The Bluestones are the prettiest part of the campus."

JMU began as a two-building learning facilit}' sur-
rounded by farmland in 1908, and, after almost ninet)' years,
the students who first attended this school would barely recog-
nize their alma mater.

It's cold outside and warmth of dress has been sacri-

are high and smQes abound.

Formals are usually held at the end of both semes-
ters, allowing students ample time to plan for the big event.
Fraternities, sororities and nearly every other campus group
hold formals to give members a chance to get together, look
their best and enjoy a night of dancing and fun.

Whether the event was formal or semiformal, a good
time was usually had by all.

Alpha Phi Omega, a service fraternit)- with over 100
members, had their semi-formal on Nov. 16 at McCormick's
Pub in Staunton. Sophomore Jeft'Marsh said, "I liked seeing
everybody dressed up, especially my date because she was
beautifijd."

The TV lounge in Chandler HaU was the site of the
residence hall's semiformal on Nov. 16. Senior hall director
Valerie Bolen said the dance was initially underestimated,
but ended up lasting longer than originally planned.

"People stepped in to see what it was about and it
seemed like so much fiin that they went upstairs to get dressed
up and then came back down!" she said.

Pi Sigma Epsilon, one of four business fraternites
held its winter semiformal at Pano's Restaurant. Senior Karen
Gurick and her date Dave Chintala enjoyed the last FIXE
semitormal of their college careers.

"We've gone to so many formals over the years that
this one wasn't really a big deal," Gurick said. "But once we
were there it occurred to both of us that this would be the last
one we'd go to together as students. That made it almost more
important than an\' ot the others. "

All in all, tormals provided a chance tor students to
get dressed up and have a good time while at the same time
express support for their organizations.

While the majorin- ot" students at JMU spent their days study-
ing, eating and partying, a small minority found stardom ;iii
optimal distraction.

Junior Eric Branner found his way to San Francisco
compliments of his musical abilit}- and \VBOP. When the local
radio station offered a contest with the prize ot a trip to the west
coast for a New Year's Metallica concert, Branner and junior
JVIike Finn were game. The contest was held at Awflil Arthur's
downtown.

"A lot of people were doing some really weird stuff, but
since this place [Harrisonburg] is prett)' conser\'ative, we fig-
ured we'd do something a little different." Something "a little
ditferent" became a rendition of some of N letallica's biggest songs
on banjo and tuba. The judges evidently appreciated the un-
usual instrument choices and awarded the duo with the trip to
San Francisco.

"It was a blast ... we got to see the city and go to the
show; it was a really cool way to spend New Year's," said Branner.
For another group of student musicians, it was plavnng
the shows, not seeing them, that provided them with their fif-
teen minutes of fame, and sometimes more.

The band the j in man' has nvo CDs to its credit, the
first selling 1,000 copies in its first year, along with a local fol-
lowing that stretches beyond the JMU communit)' into
Charlottesville, Blacksburg and Washington, D.C.

Though none of the band members was sure ot the
secret of the j in marv's success, senior drummer Ben Thrift
remembered how it all started. "At first we started out just fool-
ing around with music ... but then things got better and better
Now we've plaved at Virginia Tech, Clemson, New York ..."

The band's biggest gig was at New York Cin''s CBGB
where notable aas like LIVE and Madonna performed during
their davs on the club circuit. But the j in marv-'s greatest ac-
complishment came in Januarv' when the band gained national
exposure when its music was featured in the Lifetime channel's
series "The Place." "We're taking a year off after graduation to
do this fijl time and see how far we can go," said Thrift. "Our
goal is to get a deal with a major label."

Beginning their final year of college, many seniors eagerly await
graduation and post-coUege life. As the day approached, how-
ever, nearly every graduating senior became nostalgic as old
memories brought to mind the "good old days."

"I never realized how much I would miss this place,"
Brett Conway said. "Looking back over the years, I've had so
many good times. I wish I could remember each one exactly as
it happened, but the four years have passed so fast that I can't
always remember what happened when."

Although the years did pass quickly for many seniors,
some were able to pinpoint one specific time that defined their
college career. "Meeting Gainer," said Dan Cadaw in refer-
ence to his freshman year suitemate, who had a major impact
on his following three years.

While classes, tests and papers may have dominated
students' time, few recalled school without the enthusiasm the v
had for free time or weekend activities. "I remember the night
that my suitemates and I decided to decorate our suite with
coloring book pictures," said senior Laura Fritz. "B\' the end
of the year, we had hundreds of pictures everywhere. It was
one of the most lively suites in Weaver Hall."

For students who took advantage ot opportunities away
from JMU, it wasn't time spent in Harrisonburg, but the time
spent in college that was so valuable. Senior Jennie Kang said
her favorite college experience was spending a semester in Paris.
"It was something I'd never experienced before and it turned
out to be the experience ot a lifetime."

Regardless of what specific events seniors recall as their
favorite, all agree that college was indeed a time for learning
and experiencing. "No one specific thing reall\' jumps out at
me as the best time I've had," Matt Dixon said. "The entire
time has been so important. I learned so much and experi-
enced so many things."

As the school year began, many students found that Hfe at JMU was somehow
different than in years past. The class of 2000 brought in more fresh faces than
ever before. The boundaries of the campus grounds stretched ever farther as
students were housed in Hojo's for the second time in the university's history.
The new Recreation Center opened its doors for the first time, sending students
across the highway on a regular basis. The CISAT campus began to take shape
as finishing touches were placed on the main building, complete with a new
dorm and dining facilities. Madison expanded in many new directions. Yet while
the scope of the university was growing larger, all students - from freshmen
starting out to seniors preparing for the real world - could still feel a sense of
community. No matter what developments occurred, JMU was still a place where
each individual had impact.

The MORE the merrier? This was a question man)' stu-
dents and faculty members were forced to ask themselves at the
beginning of the 1996-97 school year. With the acceptance ot
over 500 more freshmen, there was an added STRAIN on re-
sources and activities. JMU was literally bursting at the seams.

The first problem the university faced when dealing with
its largest-ever enrollment was where to house aU the students.
Every dorm was filled to capacity. Howard Johnson became a
dorm to accommodate the CRUNCH ot freshmen students.
Some Village rooms were tripled and Converse HaU, scheduled
to be closed for renovations, was reopened to house freshmen tor
the first time ever.

Freshman Crystal Mitchell said, "Being in a triple was
okay. The BIGGEST problem was the lack of closet and drawer
space."

The next challenge facing the universit}' was trying to feed everv'one. Dining ser\dces had to come up with
some way to accommodate the larger number of people.

"The first week, LINES at Dukes and D-Hall were enormous. You had to stand in a MOB of people foi

nvenn' minutes or more just to get dinner," saic
sophomore Kathy Selgas.

To cut down on the traffic at all the eatin§
establishments on campus, dining services offeree
incentives to eat during "off hours.

Students had mixed reactions regardinj
the university's SUDDEN GROWTH spurt
"I really don't want to see JMU become a hugt
univcrsirv. The thing I have always loved abou
this school is the way we are a small, close-knii
community," said senior Robyn Collins.

Sophomore Bobby Mitchell said,"Th
larger number of students means more long line
and more cramped living, but it also means bigge
parties, louder cheers at football games an
MORE FRIENDS to meet."

jVew housing off cam pus gape students new and unique Iwing options

by Amanda ScHELL

The South
View

apartments
opened its
doors to
residents for
the first time
this fall. Each
apartment
has four
bedrooms,
four full
baths and
state-of-the
art appliances
and conve-
niences. The
complex is
onlv a mile
from campus.

Dowdy

As more and more students accepted admission to JMU
for the 1996-97 school year, student housing became one of
the biggest challenges facing the largest student population in
the school's history. Fortunately NEW off-campus living
options opened their doors as well,

Denton's apartments offered the unique opportunit}^
for upperclassmen to pay on-campus room and board rates
while living in an OFF-CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT. Lo-
cated in two buildings on Court Square and Liberty Street in
downtown Harrisonburg, Denton's used to be a furniture ware-
house. JMU purchased the property last year and renovated
the buildings into apartments.

Every apartment was designed and arranged dififerend-\'.
Students were able to enjoy Hving in a building where ever}--
thing was new.

Junior Rachel Nelson was pleased with her decision to live at Denton's. " I love the idea of living downtown
close to aU the shops and restaurants," she said. However, living DOWNTOWN also had its drawbacks. "It's
definitely not campus, and I miss that," Nelson said. "It feels far away sometimes, but the walk to campus isn't too
long and it's flat so it really doesnt bother me."

South View apartments provided another new alternative for student living. The new complex, a

division of The Commons apartments, offered
LUXURIES such as oversized closets, double
beds and built-in microwave ovens.

South View was also the only major complex
to offer bathrooms adjoining each bedroom. "I
love having my own bathroom," said junior Sa-
rah Kellv. "It reallv gives me a sense of PRI-
VACY and I had a lot of fun decorating it just
the way I want it."

For some, however, the distance from campus
was a disadvantage ot living in South View. "It is
not as close as some ot the other apartments. You
teel sort of out of touch," Kelly added.

Although these off-campus living options were
a Uttlc flirther away from campus, the}' did help
alleviate the overcrowding situation.

Job Searching

^s graduation greiv closer, stuctents began to look at life in the real world

by Laurie Butts

"What do vou want to be when \-ou GROW UP?" Re-
member in kindergarten when your teacher first asked }-ou what
your fiiture aspirations were? For many seniors the grace period
of deciding was over: it was time to join the REAL WORLD.
Students had to decide where to go. They started their kist vear
of college with one thing on their minds - finding a job after
graduation.

As soon as school started, the decision making began.
Students faced the frustrating task of fitting the last four years of
their hfe on the front side of a sheet of paper. Once this task was
complete, they frantically sent out RESUMES. Seniors poured
into the career services center in hopes of fmding that perfect
job. Stress over interviews started to set in and finally the long
wait for a job offer began.

CAREER services offered workshops on resume
writing and interviewing to help students through the job-flndi
departments also held career fairs throughout the year.

"The career fair is a very important day," said senior Lauren
spot. It is a great way to make contacts."

The JOB HUNT, whUe a challenging
growth experience, could also add stress to stu-
dents already loaded down with a fiill schedule of
course work.

"It is just so overwhelming. You have to
find a job, decide what direction you are going and,
on top of all that, you have to try to maintain your
grades in your classes - all while trying to main-
tain your sanity. It is so stressfiil!" said senior Maria
Thomas.

"I don't think the REALITY of going
out into the real world hits you until you send out
\our first resume," said senior Tamie Lee.

"It is all so different than anything you've
ever experienced before. It's not like when you leave
high school and have to decide on a college - this
is the rest of vour life, " said senior Aimee Fradette.

"Uniquely JM'^

Students and/acuity members share unusual jargon and habits

by Nicole Steffey

This smiling
flower enjoys
a spring
afternoon.
Every spring
after ground
crews
planted
thousands of
flowers,
anonymous
students
drew faces
on the
blossoms.
JMU was
known for
its beautiful
flower beds.

Have you ever asked yourself what other university in the
country has a TRAIN, a creek and a major interstate highway
running through it? Have you ever tried to explain to someone
what a "punch" is?

JMU itself is a unique COMMUNITY. In our daily
lives as college students we form habits and use jargon that few
people living outside of South Main Street and Port Republic
Road would understand.

"I always think it's funny that we call our president
'UNCLE RON.' I asked a friend at another school once who
their president was and she just laughed and said she didn't know.
I think it's really nice that we know him on a first name basis,"
said sophomore Jessica Cole.

Uncle Ron is not the only term JMU students and faculty
members have developed. While the formal name for the main •'"'."■>

dining hall is Gibbons Hall, only freshmen refer to it by that name during their first week at JMU. They soon learn that
D-HALL is the only phrase used.

"I had a visitor ask me once how to get to Gibbons Hall. I had no idea. I told them there was no such building.
It took me several minutes before I realized they were trying to get to D-Hall," said senior John Taylor.

Certain habits and rituals are also uniquely
JMU. During the winter months few students
bothered with buying a fancy sled to zoom down
the Valley's hills of snow. Most JMU students
bragged about what great sleds D-HaU trays made.
In addition, the number one party game, BEER
PONG, is not very well known by many college
students at other universities.

"I went to a friend's party at UVa. one
weekend and I kept asking them when we were
gonna start playing beer pong. They just kept look-
ing at me like I was nuts," said junior Cor\' Wallack.
"It seems so weird that no one else knows
that game. I mean all the gas stations on Port Re-
public sell ping pong balls," said sophomore Gabe
Uhr.

There is only one place in the world like
JMU.

Students
wait
patiently as
the train
passes
through
campus
during the
day. The
train often
held up
traffic and
made
students late
for classes.
The trains
did not hold
passengers,

Norfolk-
Southern

Turning 21

j^/ite of passage, the big birthday gave stucie/its a tvason to celebrate.

by Amy Keller

Amanda
Atkins

celebrates her
hig day with a
party.

Roommates
and friends
ottcn threw
parties for
students
turning 21.
As the big
day drew
near, many
students
waited in
anticipation
for the rite of
passage to
arrive.

After 21 long years of waiting tor the BIG birthdaw
students sometimes found themselves unable to give accurate
accounts of the CELEBRATION.

For some students, coUege is all about parr\'ing and ha\'
ing fun. Even for the less active partier, the 21st birthday is an
occasion to celebrate.

"For my birthday my roommates took me out for dinner
and drinks," junior Sacha Ostroff said. "We had something to
eat and something to drink in almost every restaurant in
Harrisonburg. It was so much fiin to be legal."

While the initial excitement over turning 21 may ha^■c
been ENTERTAINING for a while, students sometimes
found themselves in bed the morning after with a headache big
enough to cause regrets.

"My birthday was so much fun that I didn't get out of bed for nearly 12 hours after it," senior Jesse McBride
said. "At least I assume I had a lot of FUN. My friends are still talking about it."

Although hang-overs and memon' lapses are common among college students following the big birthday,

turning 21 is a LONG-AWAITED occasion
for nearly everyone.

"For as long as I can remember, mv friend
and I have talked about going to the Hard Rock
Cafe in D.C. for a glass of wine," junior Andy
Sorensen said. "Of course, we're both 21 now and
we've never gone."

Regardless of what students chose to do
on their birthdays, few could complain about what
the celebration entailed.

"I could have cared less what I did on my
birthda\' as long as I spent it at a bar with 100 of
m}- closest friends," junior Matthew Johnson said.
"I got lucky, really, because the bar we decided to
go to happens to be a local favorite. Not only were
ail 100 friends there, but I also made 100 new
friends."

Mother Natxire gave students an early break as remnants
of Hurricane Fran ripped through the Shenandoah Valley, CLOS-
ING SCHOOL only two weeks after classes began.

On Sept. 6, Fran dropped over five inches of rain on the
Harrisonburg area, causing substantial FLOODING by mid-
morning. Torrential rains swept through the city, closing roads
and many Rockingham County schools for over a week.

The university was better prepared for high water this time
after having experienced the flooding that the Blizzard of '96
brought last year. Both bridges crossing the creek sustained this
storm and the decision to cancel classes for the day was made very
quickly.

Although the storm was a devastating blow to the com-
munity, many students welcomed the day off Wrapping them-
selves in torn trash bags, manv students headed over to Hillside .\hicwski
Field for a host of WATERSPORTS.

"It was crazy," said sophomore Kathy Selgas. "People were all mud sliding and playing football. Some kids were
even trying to jump into the creek — which at that point was more like a river."

Senior Brad Breitbeil recalled, "I woke up that morning and saw the rain and said 'let's have a part}'.'"

Some off-campus students were not so

Universit}' Place were flooded, and students were
stranded by the massive amount of water in the
parking lot. Some students living at The Com-
mons also woke up to WATER-SOAKED
apartments.

"There was water pouring in our back door.
Our carpet and fiimiture were ruined. It was like a
bad dream," said junior Amanda Callahan.

It was also no "day off" for campus cadets,
who were called in earh' to help the INIU police
close streets and keep people out ot harm.

Although the Shenandoah Vallev' escaped

catch up on

their favorite
beer.

Many students ot legal age discovered a certain time ot
the evening when it was too early to go out to a PARTY, vet the
perfect time to get together with friends and relax. This TIME
was known to many as happy hour.

On any given day of the week, between the hours of 4
p.m. and 7 p.m., students could be found at their favorite local bar
or restaurant, sitting among FRIENDS and chatting about the
week's activities.

Students divided their time among several Harrisonburg
establishments, most of which had drink and food specials to at-
tract students in search of a GOOD DEAL.

Dave's Taverna, J. Willoby's, JM's, Blue Foxx, Boston
Beanery and Spanky's were all among the favorite places students
went to enjov themselves. r;r.i-^<u

Senior Alicia Pheonix said, "I go to happy hour regularly. It's a great time to wind down, be with friends and
forget about being a student for a while."

Senior Nikki Yohe explained, "A night at J. Willoby's Roadhouse during their happy hour is a GREAT way to
start off the weekend."

Many other students enjoyed taking part in
the happy hour festivities. Junior Laura Gregorid
met with friends every weekend at the different
restaurants around campus.

"It was nice to unwind after a long week
with friends," said Gergorio. "It was a relaxing and
fun way to catch up with people."

Many happy hour venues were the perfect
places to kick off the upcoming weekend. People,
music, drinks and food always set the right atmo-
sphere for the break.

"It was the official beginning of the week-
end scene and so I looked forward to it all week,"
said junior Bikram Guliani. "I can't wait until next
weekend when we can start the party all over again."

Say Goodbye

'December, May orJidy:Ifs just the beginning of the rest of your life

by Laurie Butts & Nicole Steffey

The class of
1996 accept
their
diplomas
from Dr.
Carrier on
the steps of
WUson Hall
during the
July com-
mencement
ceremony.
Graduation
took place at
7 p.m. just as
the sun was
beginning to
set. About
300 students
graduated.

Most people associate graduation with May flowers and
sunny afternoon CELEBRATIONS, but pomp and circum-
stance is played more than once a year at JMU.

Although the size of the December and July graduations is
substantially smaller than the May commencement, veneration of
the graduates is not diminished. Parents' eyes are still filled with
pride, and ecstatic students still must SAY GOODBYE to their
coUege home.

"I wish I could stay," said senior Jennifer Corboy. Corboy
decided to graduate early in December to avoid the expense of an
eighth semester.

Senior Mike Canada said that graduating in DECEM-
BER was an important step in furthering his career. "I'm on a
very tight timetable. I need to get my degree and get back to my
job," he said.

Some JMU students said they expected job prospects to be better after July and December graduations because
there is a smaller influx of new graduates into the job market at those times. Others pointed to cost as a reason for not
waiting until May to graduate.

December GRADUATES had the benefit of receiving their diplomas as an additional holiday gift. JULY

graduates had the benefit of attending
a beautiful sunset ceremony on the Quad.

JMU alumnus Bill Harlow said, "I had to
take a class in May session to finish because I went
abroad to do an internship. I could have walked in
May, but I opted to graduate in July because I had
heard the CEREMONY was beautiflil. I think
my family was able to enjoy my graduation more
because in July there isn't the massive amounts of
people crowding all of Harrisonburg."

While students graduating in May had to
make dinner and hotel reservations a year ahead
of time, students going through July and Decem-
ber graduation had more options.

"I reallv enjoved graduating in Julv because
the atmosphere was more relaxed and the cer-
emonv was so beautifiil," said alumna Cindi Tho-

Dr. Bethany
Oberst, vice
president of
academic
affairs,
addressed
the crowd of
parents and
friends at
thejuly
commence-
ment
ceremony.
A business-
man from

at home and
they spent

enjoying the
good Italian
cooking thev
tound in the
City.

After seven straight weeks ot class, college life began to
wear on most students. Papers and PROJECTS began to pile
up, keeping up with reading became laborious and midterms crept
up out of nowhere. Numerous parking tickets had eaten all the
spending money and the mysterious Simeon still had students
confiised. If one more person cut in line at D-Hall, they were go-
ing to get a tray upside the head. In other words, it was time for a
break.

This year Fall Break was held on Oct. 21. It gave students
a short but appreciated REST from the daily grind.

Some students were confused as to when Fall Break was
this year and so they had trouble making plans. "I kept hearing
one thing in one class and another in the next. I was so confused
and so were all mv professors," said junior Virginia Baetcke.

Once the confusion was cleared up, students were able to
make the most of their FREE DAY. Some students decided to go HOAIE for the long weekend. Homesickness
and the need to get away were top reasons to head back to mom and dad.

"I hadn't seen my parents since the dav I moved in back in August, " said freshman Luke Albright. "I was re;ill\'
looking forward to mom's home cooking and sleeping in my own bed."

Other students decided to take the three days and visit friends at other colleges or to take a long-awaited

ROAD TRIP. Senior Simone Figula traveled
with a friends to Penns)'lvania. "It was so much
fiin," she said. "We went to Bucknell and to a track
meet at Penn State. I met some great new people
and it was nice to see another campus for a
change."

Unfortunatclv, not all students could escape
the friendly cir\' of Harrisonburg. Some found that
their work load and responsibilities were too bur-
densome even for a short VACATION. "I just
had so much to do I stayed right here in the 'Burg,"
said junior John Vahedian.

Whatever the plans or destinations. Fall
Break was the perfect time for students to relax
and let loose before classes resumed. "I had so
much fiin I wish we had Fall Break every week."

This student
spent her
day at space
camp
learning to
fly to the
moon. The
camp puts
students
through
\igorous
physical
tests to show
them what it
takes to be
an astro-
naut. Many
used fall
break as a
chance to
challenge
themselves.

'dressing ^p

J^romjialloween to theme panies, students found reasons to dress up

by Laurie Butts

These
students
proudly
display their
Halloween
costumes.
Halloween
was a popular
time for
costume
parties all
around
campus.
Students also
dressed up
for theme
parties and
formals.

If you Stop by JMU on almost any weekend night, you'll
probably come to the consensus that many students never really
grew out of PLAYING dress up.

On special occasions and holidays students still enjoyed
wearing their parents' clothes from the '60s and '70s and their own
florescent T-shirts from the '80s. Whether it was Halloween, St.
Patrick's day or just a theme party on a Friday night, students loved
to find an excuse to put on a SILLY outfit.

"It gets you revved up for a party and creates a mood," said
sophomore Kristen Titus. "Theres a mission: find the perfect

OUTFIT."

Halloween still tops the charts as one of students' favorite
times to dress up. But for some the holiday was quite a trick. Sopho-
more Kathy Selgas said, " I was walking across the Quad and sud-
denly a blue MScM was coming toward me. For a minute I Canrmtii
thought I was hallucinating, but then I remembered it was Halloween."

Theme parties have expanded far beyond the traditional toga PARTIES and now range from western ho-
downs to pajama sleep overs.

"For our pledge party, I dressed my sisters up as Fruit of the Loom. They couldn't walk through doorway's

because they were so big, " recalled Titus.

Christmas was another time of year that
many students found was prime time for digging
in the back of the closet. Many organizations had
FORMALS around the end of the semester.

'"We had our holiday semi-formal in
Staunton this year," said sophomore Alicia Pavne.
"It was so nice to see even'one dressed up tor the
night and the holiday."

Students returned home during Thanksgiv-
ing to search the stores for the perfect dress or comb
the closets of their closest friends in search of
GOWNS thev had worn in the past.

"Between all my friends and I, we ne\'er ha\'e
to buy another dress again. We all have so many
that we never have to go out and buv a new dress.
It's fun to wear other peoples' clothes," said junior
Amanda Collins.

Must See TV

Tluirsday night telev isioii gare students an excuse to put the books airaij

by Amanda Schell

Flipping
channels
during a
commercial
break, these
students tr>'
to catch tile
score of the
game helore
I',R contin-
ues. Many
students
scheduled
acti\itics,
classes and
social
gatherings
around the
tele\'ision
line-up.

Will Dr. Mark Greene and Dr. Susan Lewis profess their
love for one another? Wh\' did Jem' dump his fiancee? Is Chan-
dler really gay? Who the heck is Susan and where did she "sud-
denly" come from? The answers to these questions could all Bl
found in three joyous hours of television on Thursday nights —
NBC's "Must See TV."

While Thursday night was a night for partying on man\-
college campuses, a new tradition has emerged in recent years —
the RITUAL of Thursday night television. Not since the he\-
day of Saturday Night Live has America seen such devotion to a
night of television. JMU students are no exception to the phe-
nomenon. Clusters of students gathered around TV sets weekly to
enjoy Friends, Seinfeld, Suddenly Susan and ER.

"We never miss it," said sophomore Linda Hughes. "M\
friends and I all crowd around mv TV on beds and futons and
WATCH it together. It's a tradition now. We even watch repeats."

This year saw a few changes in the THURSDAY night line-up. Caroline In the City moved to Tuesday to
make room for Brooke Shields' new show Suddenly Susan. The show faired well in the ratings, but student opinion
didn't necessarUv agree. "I don't think it's funnv," said senior Rikki Moncrieff "I mean Brooke is hot and all, but she isn't

that funny. I am glad to sec that Judd Nelson has
found work again."

The budding ROMANCE between Ross
and Rachel on Friends was the storyUne to watch
this season. Many students were relieved to see the
lovebirds finally get together, and stunned when
the relationship suddenly ended.

"Rachel. My friends and I are absolutely
OBSESSED with her. We cut out the milk ad
she was in and have plastered it all over our suite.
She is a beautifiil woman," said sophomore Brian
Hazzard.

ER, prime-time television's number one
show, also had a big change this year when one of
the big STARS left the show.

Senior Brad Rash said, "My roommates and
I always watch ER. When Sherri left, we couldn't
believe it. I just can't believe that she and Goose
are never going to get togther."

the scenic
Valley below
him. Areas
such as
Redish Knob,
Wintergreen
and Luray
Caverns
presented
students with
numerous
options for
outdoor
actiiities.

The Shenandoah Valley provided the campus of JMU
with a SPLENDID backdrop. With mountains on all sides,
Harrisonburg was the perfect place for students to enjoy majestic
sunsets, incredible colors in fall and beautifU snowfalls in the win-
ter.

Students who enjoyed the outdoors had so many oppor-
tunities surrounding them. Endless Caverns, Skyline Caverns and
Luray Caverns were popular places to go to enjoy nature. "The
caverns are so incredible. I love to go there and walk around and
see the amazing things that NATURE provides us with," said
sophomore Christina Zechman.

Students who liked hiking, skydiving, snow skiing and rock
climbing could easily fmd places to accomodate their hobbies.
The nearby Shenandoah National Forest, Massanutten, Redish
Knob and Afton Mountain were some of the most popular places students went to get OUTDOORS.

"We went hiking one Saturday. It was two miles straight up. I thought I was going to die on the way up, but
once we got to the top it was worth it. You can see for hundreds of miles," said sophomore Carolyn Reams.

"I love to go rock climbing. I love to push my body and to get out and enjoy the FRESH AIR. After I've

made it to the top of a cliff I feel renewed," said
junior Erin Callahan.

Spending time outdoors was popular
among clubs and organizations and among couples
looking for some bonding time.

"My bo^'friend surprised my one Saturday
by showing up with a PICNIC lunch. We drove
up to Skyline Drive and spent a quiet afternoon
together. It was so romantic," said junior Caroline
Jenkins.

Buckhill Lodge and Wintergreen were also
popular getaways for students in search of the great
outdoors.

Every now and then, students took a break
from the daily routine of classes and work and
headed for the beaur\' and serenity of nature.

TJiey shared a room freshman year and they're still together!

by Amy Keller

One of the scariest things about college is the first-year
mysterv ROOMAIATE. For students who allow themselves
to be randomly paired with another student, the experience can
be traumatic and sometimes horrifying. There are times, how-
ever, when the university's system makes a perfect match and the
roommates remain together for the duration of their college ca-

in a suite their
treshman year.
The tour have
shared good
times over the
\ears and
hosted many
parlies in their
I lunter's
kidge
apartment.

Despite the horror stories of students who get stuck with
the "nightmare roommate," there are times that two strangers live
together freshman year and GET ALONG so well that they
decide to stay together.

"We both got along so well the first year and became re-
allv good friends," senior Jennie Kang said. "We've never had any
real serious conflicting problems with each other."

"Jennie has become one of my best friends now," said senior Amy Feezor, Kang's roommate since freshman year.
"It's amazing how close we have become."

Although sometimes the university- does make a good match, some students prefer to ease into college by
choosing to live with a RELIABLE triend from high school.

"Why bother messing around with those
information sheets when you know you will get
along with a friend from school?" Senior Amy
Carmichael said. "Even if things don't go as well as
you think they will, it's stiU nice not having to play
the game of chance. Anyway, it worked out great
for me."

Even when the universit)' does make a bad
AIATCH initially, there are times when a stu-
dent moves from one room to another early during
his or her freshman year and discovers a friendship
with the new roommate.

"We were placed together by chance and it
worked out better than we could have ever imag-
ined," said senior Jen Turczyn. "We've been roomies
ever since. I'd hke to thank whoever put us to-
gether."

Changing ^ace

^s the next centwy approached, the campus itse/f undenpent change

by Nicole Steffey

Crossing
South Main
Street during
a break in the
traffic, these
students
continue on
their way to
Anthony
Seeger.
Despite the
removal of
the cross walk
between the
two sides of
campus,
students did
not break old
habits.

Most students at JMU quickly became used to living with
change. From the RESTRUCTURING of the curriculum
to allowing freshmen to live in Hojo's, students were constantly
forced to adapt to new things. As JMU began preparing for the
next century, the campus itself was forced to undergo a variety a
changes.

Over Parents Weekend, students strolling leisurely
nearNewman Lake were greeted with a new sight. A FOUN-
TAIN was placed in the center of the lake. "I was riding the bus
to class on Monday after Parents Weekend and suddenly I real-
ized that the ducks weren't alone anymore. There was this huge
stream of water," said sophomore Christine Dahlquist.

Not long after the semester began, the CROSSWALK
in front of Anthony Seeger Hall was removed under orders from
the City of Harrisonburg. The street itself was ground up and '^ miimm

the old sidewalk leading down to the building was removed and replaced with grass. Students were expected to walk
down to the light at Grace Street. However, many students chose not to adapt to this unwelcome change. Most
students continued to cross South Main Street where the crosswalk had once been. "Taking away the crosswalk a bad
idea. It turned crossing the street into a game of FROGGER," said junior Nancy Birch.

More change took place in November as
MR. CHIPS, the campus convenience store, un-
derwent renovations. A new front was put on the
building, and the creek bed running alongside the
building was secured. The renovations were due
in part to the flooding that damaged the store in
January 1996.

Also in November, a new building was
erected. The NEW RESIDENCE HALL
was built on the far side of the campus, near Price
Club. The dorm further marked the trend toward
extending the campus across the highway. The
building was opened to residents during spring
semester.

"We're growing so fast that it is reallv
amazing." said sophomore Rick Long.

Parking

source ot
revenue for
the Univer-
sity.

For many students finding LEGAL parking on campus
raniced somewhere between pop quizes and 8 a.m. classes. Driv-
ing to class for manv commuter students was not even an option.
With only se\'en parking lots available to over 3,000 stu-
dents, FIGHTING tor a parking space was a daily chore.

Parking permits were handed out throughout the year.
Permits were available for all off-campus students and on-cam-
pus students who were sophomores, juniors and seniors. Fresh-
men were not allowed to have cars on campus.

Parking TIC KETS were handed out everyday. Many stu-
dents quickly became familar with the gut-wrenching feeling of
puUing that long white slip of paper offof their windshields.

"I left my car in the wrong lot accidentlv for two davs! It
was painful to part with that TWENTY DOLLARS, " said
sophomore Julie Moore. New "no parking" signs were placed in a '^ "r/zr,!"..

variety of places at the beginning of the school vear to discourage students from parking illegally. Orange cones were
placed outside Warren Hall to keep students from parking in the bus unloading zone. Because of the tighter restric-
tions, students were forced to come up with new, creative places to park.

"I puUed mv car up on the sidewalk outside my dorm one afternoon because I was loading in my luggage for a

weekend trip. I was gone for five minutes. When 1
came back, I had a ticket. Someone must have been
waiting, in the bushes, for me to walk away from
mv car so they sould give me a ticket," said junior
Tami Wright.

"I have gotten so many parking tickets I
have lost count. I've saved all the yellow copies. I
want to keep them as MEMENTOS of my col-
lege career," said senior Tim Walters.

Although students continued to complain
about parking situation, many continued to drive
to class.

"That's why I used the bus," said sopho-
more John Lee. "It was convenient and saved me
the daily hassle of finding a parking spot. Besides,
I didn't want to park in a gravel pit, anyway."

Finding the
perfect spot
on campus,
this student
easily parks
the motor-
cycle in a
designated
spot. Some
students
found
alternatives
to the bus
and cars in
order to
avoid the
parking
crunch
during class
hours.

Simeon Switch

^new e-mail system helped students to speed on the information highway

by Carrie McCabe

After using
the VAX for
three years,
this student,
like many
other seniors,
found it
inconvenient
to leam a
whole new
system.
Although
Simeon
caused
headaches at
first, the
program was
more user
friendly than
the VAX

When the administration changed the e-mail system from

last year, the whole campus seemed to PANIC. Many returned

to school ready to get hooked up to the system to keep in touch

with friends for free. But, when trying to get into the system,

they found it took a lot more work than it did last year. "Just

when I thought I had the VAX mastered, they changed the sys-
tem on me and I had to start from scratch all over again," said

sophomore J. L. Avery.

Upon arriving in the fall, students found their old VAX

programs had been replaced with notices describing the new mail

account. For some, setting up this new account was a piece of

cake and they were corresponding with friends in no time. For

others, however, just making a new password was like brain sur-
gery and several trips to the computer HELP DESK were necessary.

The new system was quite a change from last year's e-mail, but it was an UPGRADE that the university felt

was needed. Some of the most common complaints last year were that the system was too slow and didn't have many

features. Plus, the VAX mail system was OLD, basically unchanged since 1983.

Once students learned how to use the new
system, Simeon provided a quick and easy way to
communicate with friends. Simeon brought many
improvements, such as the abiUty to let users ac-
cess their mail from different locations — whether
from home, office or computer lab. Operations
such as deleting and printing e-mail were also
made easier by the upgrade.

Though for some it may have taken a while
to understand, the NEW e-mail system defi-
nitely seemed well worth the time and patience.
Once mastered, communication never seemed so
easy!

Can I Stay ?

Jhr those who just really weren 't ready to leave ... there wasjifth year

Copcrich,
a fifth-vear

senior, poses
with several
friends.
Copcrich
stayed an extra
year to
complete her
student
teaching
requirement
for her
education
minor.

For many students, college is a great place. A lot of stu-
dents like college so much that they NEVERwant to leave. Then,
at the end of four years, they wave a tearful good-bye to their be-
loved alma mater. And some stay longer.

For some students, four years of college was not enough to
complete their curriculum. Thev became fifth-vear seniors.

Fifth-year seniors stayed for a variet}- of different reasons.
Jed Springer, an accounting information systems major, stayed
because he changed his major during his senior year and needed to
take some extra classes. "I was an accounting major and I changed
to accounting information systems so I had to stay an EXTRA
semester. But JMU's a great place, so it wasn't that big of a sacri-
fice."

Other students stayed LONGER because of multiple
majors. "I am a triple major in English, religion and sociology. Needless to say, I'm going to stick around JMU for
quite a while," said fifth-year student Megan Wright.

But for some students, staying at JMU for an extra year is not such a fortunate thing. Sara Smith, an interna-
tional business major, was one of these students.
"My parents and I only PLANNED on my be-
ing at college for four years. When I went to Spain
mv junior year, I fell a little bit behind, so now I
have to stay for an extra semester. My budget's a
little tight right now since this wasn't expected."
Springer, a former Marching Royal Duke,
was not completely unhappy to be staying for an
extra semester. "I spent four years playing the
drums with the MRDs. It was really EXCIT-
ING to sit on the sidelines with all of the stu-
dents for the first time since junior high," Wright
said. "Five years seems like such a long time. It
just makes me wonder what I'll be doing after the
next five years. Maybe I'll still be at JMU!"

Student body increase forced off-campus students to give up mailboxes

by AlMEE FRADETTE

This on-
campus
student picks
up a package
at the mail
room. Off-
campus
students
recieved
packages
at their
apartments.
The once
bustling
campus mail
room was
half as Hill

Moving off campus for students is a BIG deal and a new
experience for upperclassmen. An apartment, house or townhouse
means leaving the dorm life and all the rules, and finally having
your ov^^n room and living space. However, off-campus living is
not without problems. For example, the mail system for JMU has
always been an expected tradition. Everyone knew when they came
to JMU that they would be given a post office box that they would
share with another student for all four (or five) years here at school.
But this year that TRADITION changed for off-campus stu-
dents. '1 was shocked to hear that we no longer had a post office
box this year," exclaimed junior Heather Brite.

It was not a surprise that this new way of distributing the
mail for JMU took place. Because the number of freshmen ac-
cepted for the 96-97 school year was high, there was simply not
enough room for everyone to have a mailbox, so off-campus stu-
dents were the first to lose their boxes. This created confusion for many students. "I had to tell everyone my new
address and I still received a lot of mail late or marked return to sender. My birthday gifts were late this year because my
friends sent my PACKAGES to my old address," explained junior Ali Farmer.

Organizations and clubs had to decide how to contact the majority of JMU students living off campus. 'If we

wanted to get information out to students about
our organization we couldn't just stuff mailboxes
because half of the upperclassmen didn't hear about
it," said senior Jill Rushman.

Of course, the mail room at JMU was never
just a place to pick up MAIL. "I miss going to
the mailroom with friends and meeting up with
people to socialize," said senior Robin Bonato.
Nevertheless, some students looked at the posi-
tives. "I prefer having all my mail sent to my apart-

Jhr three weeks students relojced and 7'ecovered from fall semester

by Nicole Steffey

iSJ&

While many
students spent
their vacations
away from
JMU, senior
Paul Ericson
performed to a
packed Convo-
cation Center
as a member of
the Pep Band.
The Pep Band
played for the
crowd during
all home bas-
ketball games,
including dur-
ing vacations
and holidays.

Three glorious weeks. NO WORK piling up. No room-
mate snoring in the middle of the night. No professors handing
out pop quizzes. No mystery meat from D-Hall. Dec. 14 marked
the beginning of a long-awaited freedom. After 15 weeks of classes
most students were more than ready to get away.

Before the lines of cars could pack Interstate 81, students
had to struggle through a long week of final exams. Junior Amanda
Schell said, "By the 14th week of class I was ready to get out of
here. By that time Fd already finished five papers, endless num-
bers of tests and three or four projects. FINALS week was the
last straw. Once I made it through those long five days, I was
more than ready to vegetate for three weeks."

Over winter break most students were HOMEWARD

Canru:tll

bound to spend the holidays with family and friends. "I love going home at winter break because when 1 arrive our
house is all decked out in Christmas decorations and my mom has always baked something absolutely wonderful. It is
so heavenly to go from being so stressed out over finals to being in the cozy comforts of home," said sophomore Jessica
Strickland.

This year students left for Thanksgiving
break on Nov. 26 and only two weeks after return-
ing were headed home again for winter BREAK.
In years past there have been at least three weeks
separating the holidays. "It was so weird this year. I
felt like Thanksgiving and Christmas were right
on top of each other! We got back after Thanks-
giving and it was time to get right back in the car
and go home for winter break," said sophomore
Kate Springer.

For some winter break was more than the
traditional holiday fare. Some took advantage of
the FREE TIME to experience new things. "My
family decided not to give gifts and instead went
on a Caribbean cruise. It was weird not celebrat-
ing in the traditional way, but I had a great time,"
said sophomore Denise Seipel.

Musical lalents

Talent and entreprenuership leads to formation of two new groups

by Laura Thacher

Members of
theJMU
A Cappella
Singers
happily pose
before a
performance.
The group
was started
this year and
made their
debut during a
holiday
concert at
Anthony-
Seeger Hall.

Huang

It was not uncommon to look down your dorm hallway after
hearing the sound of the traditional tune "Happy Birthday." Upon
request, a student run group of SINGERS performed their unique
rendition of the birthday tune to the music of the Hallelujah
Chorus.

This happy birthday singing telegram service was founded
and directed by sophomore Sherlee Huang and is sponsored by the
Keyboard Association of the School of Music. Members of this ser-
vice come from a variety of different majors including business, ISAT,
music education and health sciences.

Although approximately 50 singers were in the group, only
16 sang at one time. Members would surround the person receiving
the TELEGRAM and would serenade them. Afterwards, recipents
were given an individualized happy birthday certificate and a round
of applause.

Junior Shannon Hoard, a member of the singing group
said, "Many people have taken advantage of our new singing group. It is not only a unique gift, but a chance to surprise and
perhaps embarrass someone who is special to you on their special day."

Happy birthday telegrams cost only five dollars and were popular with friends, families and faculty.
Another NEW musical group that made its debut this year was the JMU A Cappella Singers. The group per-
formed its first concert in Anthony-Seeger Hall.
They performed a variety of holiday pieces includ-
ing Silent Night and Deck the Halls.

The group was composed of 23 singers who
went through an extensive audition process. Sopho-
more Lindsay Gray said, "This ensemble has pro-
vided many great opportunities to make new friends
while doing what we like to do best.. .sing!"

Huang, founder of the group, said, "I wanted
to offer a positive and FULFILLING musical
experience to motivated students who wanted to
continue their interest in a madrigal-like ensemble."
The introduction of both groups went to
prove that if a club didn't already exist at JMU, stu-
dents could always band together and start a new
organization on their own.

When students refer to the town of Harrisonburg, it is
almost as if they are talking about an ENTIRELY different
world. Sophomore Reshma Shetrj' said, "Stepping off campus
grounds is stepping into a completely different atmosphere." The
location presents students with an array of activities. Once stu-
dents start exploring the town, the\' soon find their favorite hang-
outs.

Freshman Lara Kra\'itz said, "I enjoy getting off campus
and going out to dinner with my friends." Just getting on the bus
or walking somewhere different gives students a needed change of
scener)'. "Sometimes my friends and I put on our rollerblades and
skate downtown on a Saturday afternoon. We look in all the shops
and end up finding really cool places," said sophomore Ken Scully.
Many students journey to Kline's Dairy Bar for a cold treat
on HOT da)'s. Sophomore Kelly Uglialoro said, "The home-
made ice cream is delicious. I highly recommend Peanut Butter Chocolate.

On weekends students enjoy relaxing, dancing, shopping and dining out. DOWNTOWN Harrisonburg
offers JM's Bar and Grill, Dave's Taverna, Spanky's and The Little Grill. The Round-Up, a country-line DANC-
ING place, gave lessons for the first hour and then played music for the remainder of the evening. "I was actually

amazed by how nice everyone there was to us. They
were so eager to teach us new dances when we re-
ally didn't have a clue," said sophomore Denise
Seipel.

There are various organizations that stu-
dents are involved in which are specifically for the
benefit of the Harrisonburg community. Some stu-
dents VOLUNTEER at the hospital and in the
schools. Junior Ashley Rosenvans said, "I love
working with the kids at Spotswood Elementary.
It's hard to believe that we were ever that young.
Being with the kids gives me somewhat of a real-
ity check. It's not just classes and exams. The
learning that goes on outside of the classroom is
what benefits us most."

Warrenjiall

WaTTenJ-{all celebrated 25 years of providing student services

by Erin Binney & Chris Agresto

Signs posted
around
Warren Hall
invited
students to
participate in
Warren Hall's
birthday
celebration.
Hundreds of
students and
faculty
members
attended the
party held on
the third floor
on Nov. 6.

Warren Hall celebrated its 25th anniversary this year.
Named in HONOR of Percy H. Warren, a former dean of Madi-
son College, Warren Hall was completed in 1971 for use as a stu-
dent activities center. It has offered many important rescources
over the years and continues to house many JMU facilities includ-
ing the bookstore, post office, information desk, box office, airport
lounge, dining facilities, and many university offices and meeting
rooms.

The JMU community gathered on Nov. 6 to celebrate War-
ren Hall's ANNIVERSARY. Dave Barns, associate director of
the university center, said the motivation for the celebration was
the campus center's value to the community. "This building has
meant so much to this college in terms of services it provides stu-
dents — whether it is sitting in the lounge, checking mail or registering for classes," he said.

According to Barnes, representatives from each of the eight offices presently centered in Warren Hall helped to
organize the EVENT, which included selected memoribilia that was displayed in the Highlands Room and in the
third-floor lobby from 2 to 4 p.m.

At an awards ceremony held during the
CELEBRATION, President Ronald Carrier
noted that students are comfortable wdth the build-
ing. "Departments and buildings may come and
go, but Warren Hall has always been focused on
student services," he said.

Student Government Association president
David Baker presented framed pictures commemo-
rating Warren Hall's 25 years to several honored
guests including former directors of the university
center, two of PERCY WARREN's daughters,
and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Freshman Scott Abbott agreed that Warren Hall
is a valuable facility for the JMU community. "It's
a beautiful place and I hope it will be here for an-
other 25 years," he said.

Instead ofwonying about the weekend, they 'f^e plaf^ningfor their Iwes

by Jacqueline Cook

Seal it with a

Linebcrger
and Rachael
Wood show
each other
how special
they arc to
one another.
College was a
time for de-
V e 1 o p i n g
many differ-
ent types of
relationships
with people,
including
friendship
and love.

Boasting a population of over 12,000 students, JMU should

be the prime place to meet that perfect someone, right? Not neces-
sarily!

"I will be graduating in May," said senior Aiigie France, "and,

after four years, I have given up any hope of finding Mr. Right at

JMU!" There are a few success stories, however, and some

COUPLES will be forever grateful to JMU for bringing them

together,

Niki Lindgren, a junior, met Craig Williams at the end of

her freshman year and, on VALENTINES DAY, the couple

celebrated two years of dating. "I wasn't looking for anyone," says

Lindgren. "I believe that it's only when you're not looking that you

find that special someone."

Lindgren and Williams met at JMU through a mutual friend.

Other couples, however, have actually met on TRIPS away MoUwih

from school. Heather Kellihan met her fiance, Mike Fleck, at Virginia Beach, even though both were students at JMU.

Kellihan, too, believes that you meet Mr. Right when you're not looking and when you least expect it!

While meeting Mr. or Ms. Right at JMU is a major challenge, another obstacle occurs when one member of the

"perfect couple" graduates. Both Williams and Fleck graduated from JMU last year and entered the job market. And,

although both couples have stayed together and
even grown CLOSER, major changes ensued.
Lindgren and Kellihan both say it is easier now to
concentrate on studies and get things accomplished.
Lindgren believes that the indi\'idual growth she
has experienced since Williams graduated has been
beneficial to her and to their relationship. "I don't
think you can give to someone else until you know
and feel good about yourself," Lindgren said.

There are even some students whose special
someone did not attend JMU but who have fond
memories of special times spent here. Susanne
Dobrick, a senior, was here with her boyfriend,
Chip Beasley, on New Year's Eve, when he took
her to Newman Lake, got down on his knees and
PROPOSED to her. "JMU wiU always be ex-
tremely special to me for that reason," Dobrick says.
"I'll never forget that night."

^ad 'Tripping

The radio blares, wind blows in your hair, open road is before you ...

by Laurie Butts

Senior Amy
Keller smiles
brightly from
the front seat
as she and her
roommates
embark on
another
journey. Half
the fijn of
most road
trips was
simply getting
to and from
the ultimate
destination.

For most students returning to campus each fall is an
EIXCITING experience. They are happy to be back in the 'Burg,
sleeping in the airport lounge or just hanging out on the Quad.
But as weeks pass, tests come and go, work begins to pile up and
the tension continues to build. There comes a time when all stu-
dents want to do is HIT THE ROAD.

"My room is so small that the walls start to close in on me
and I have to hightail it out of town," said sophomore Whitney
MacDougal.

Road tripping is an integral part of any student's college
EIXPERIENCE. In most cases students need to escape from
their troubles whether it's a big test or a "psycho" roommate. An-
other motivation for road trips was the chance to see friends from
other schools. Some of the most popular destinations for weekend °'"'

TRIPS were UVa., Virginia Tech, Radford and Washington, D.C.

When the weather warmed up and students wanted a little slice of sunshine, Virginia Beach and Ocean City
became the hot destinations. Long distance love was also a big motivation when it came to traveling.

"My boyfriend lives in Richmond so I GO there a lot to see him. It is hard on my old car to make so many
Jonathan ^^' JHpHMBFTISBB ^^flBH^^W^BI^B ti'ips but it would be harder on me if I never got to

see him," said junior Amy Doran.

Concerts, festivals and other special events
gave students an excuse to get out of town. The
Foxfield races in Charlottesville always drew a big
crowd rain or shine. Each year a few ADVEN-
TUROUS souls made the 22-hour drive to col-
lect beads at Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

No matter where they were headed, most
students agreed that half the fun of road tripping
was the ride itself. Good friends, good tunes and
a 32-ounce caffeinated beverage helped make any
journey enjoyable.

Getting Mail

J^rom love letters to bills, students eagerly awaited the postman 's afiival

by Christine Ragosta

HiifiilUIIII
'miiii

James Nichols
bends down to
open his post
office box.
Students were
assigned a
mail box
during
freshman
oreiniation.
Mail and
packages were
delivered to
boxes

throughout
the day.

Ahhh, college... You're on your own. Every decision is up
to you. You have no curfew. All the mail in your mailbox is ad-
dressed to YOU!

As a freshman away from home for the first time, the daily
trips to the mailbox was an important LINK to the outside world.
"IVe got a girlfriend who lives in Colorado. We rely on mail to
keep our relationship alive," said Logan McGuire. Newsy letters
from home also helped many students assauge the pangs of home-
sickness.

PACKAGE slips posed exciting posibilites as well.
Cookies, beverage, books," CDs and other assorted items made
students anxiously await care packages from home. "My sister sent
me Drakes' coffeecakes imported all the way from Connecticut.
They were somewhat stale, but not yet moldy," said Molly Pohlig.

Students anxious to get mail sometimes had complaints about the JMU postal service. "It takes a long time to
get mail from home. While it should take only a day or two, it takes four days for my mom's mail to get to me," said
Raymond Carey. In early October the university gave control of JMU postal services to a private firm in hopes of

making the mail service more EFFICIENT.

In addition to traditional mail, students
kept up with friends and family through e-mail.
"I love e-mail. It is so mush easier than sending
real mail," said Brian Harris.

"There is nothing better than logging on
to Simeon and finding 20 new messages. I am
from Ohio and have friends at lots of different
schools. E-mail allows us to KEEP IN
TOUCH on a daily basis," said sophomore
Denise Seipel.

Overall, mail was something all students
loved — except when the it meant the arrival of
that months bills.

Market One, Megabytes and 'Pizza Peddlers added dining options

by Jeff Morris

This student
munches on an
apple from
Let's Go.
Dining services
made moves to
protect the
environment by
requiring
students to
purchase plastic
take-out
containers. The
containers were
recalled in
January,
however, and
replaced by
paper products.

What is one of the most important aspects of daily life at
JMU? Eating of course! JMU's Dining Services provided a vari-
ety of intersting, new places to EAT on campus.

For those with a taste for Mexican food, Amigos was lo-
cated in the Highlands Room in Warren Hall. During fall se-
mester, Amigos served tacos, chili, and other foods. "Amigos was
a great break from D-Hall and Dukes," said freshman Erick
Borda.

MARKET ONE opened at the beginning of the
spring semester. It offered a variety of items in a food-court set-
ting. Due to the overwhelming popularity of PC Dukes, Line 1
of Gibbons Hall was designated to house the new facility. The
Healthy Choice gourmet deli served fresh deli sandwiches. The
Casa Ortega served up tacos, burritos, nachos and taco salads for
those with an appetite for Mexican, and Stone Willy's Pizza pro- mou^m

vided customerswith gourmet pizzas. The one downside many students found was that a "punch" was not accepted
at Market One.

Dining Services delivered up fresh, hot pizza to satisfy those late night cravings. PIZZA PEDDLERS
hiked all across campus, even to Howard Johnson's and the new Blue Ridge Hall, providing hand-tossed pies until

1 a.m. Students could pay for their pizza with
cash, Dining Dollars or FLEX. Sophomore
Laurin Askew, a delivery person for Pizza Ped-
dlers, said, 'The worst part about delivering is
after driving in the freezing cold or in the rain,
the customers dig for pocket change as a tip."
MEGABYTES, located in the
heart of the CISAT campus, was available for
quick snacks between classes. Because of the
distance of ISAT from the main campus. Mega-
bytes provided hot dogs, bagels and other items
for students who did not have the time to get
back to lower campus.

While D-Hall and PC Dukes will
likely remain the most popular places to eat on
campus, Amigos, Market One, Pizza Peddlers
and Megabytes quickly became favorites among
all students.

'Play Pick-^Jp

^ bunch offiiends, a Sunday afte?noon, a nniddy field ... pick-up game

by Mitchell Vakerics

Winding up,
this student
pitches during
a "friendly
game" of
baseball.
Although
pick-up games
were not
recorded in
halls of fame,
the play could
quickly turn
into a heated
competition.

When classes started to overwhelm students, many took a
break and let OFF STEAM by playing a pick-up game at UREC.
UREC offered three courts solely for basketball, the most
popular pick-up game. These courts were always available for use in
the main gym during UREC operational hours. Bradley Petty, coor-
dinator of intramural sports and open recreation at UREC, said that
the busiest time for pick-up basketball games at UREC was from 5
to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday. Students who came to play dur-
ing those hours often had to wait for a court, but most students
agreed it was worth the wait.

There are many advantages to playing pick-up games over
intramural sports. Intramural sports require a higher level of skill
than pick-up games do. JMU students seemed to have an unwritten
rule concerning skill level for pick-up basketball games at UREC,
Petty said. Court three was reserved for COMPETITIVE PLAY, court four was for neutral play and court one was
an overflow of both mediocre and competitive play.

Petty said, "If you're not a very good basketball player, you can still play pick-up games." You also didn't have to
come with a TEAM already formed. Some students did, but more often than not they had to split up to play.

Sophomore Ryan Rees said, "It's fun play-
ing pick-up games with your friends and compet-
ing against other people." However, most par-
ticipants in pick-up games played for fun and were
not overly concerned with winning.

UREC employed recreation assistants who
were responsible for montioring pick-up games.
Their duties included supervising PICK-UP
GAMES for fights and keeping objects off the
playing floor. These were entry-level, paying po-
sitions for freshmen and sophomores.

UREC also offered volleyball, indoor soc-
cer and hockey pick-up games and boasted an out-
door lighted astroturf field for flag football games.
Sophomore Ryan Delaney said,"Ifrm up-
set about seomthing, I go to UREC and play bas-
ketball. It usually makes me feel a lot better."

These

students play

a muddy

game of

football.

Rainy days

were a perfect

opportunity

to go out and

play. Pick-up

games were

also a terrific

opportunity

to meet new

people. New

friendships

were being

formed every

day in the

fields and on

the courts.

J^eeling Sick

Mrst it's the sniffles and before you know it you're in thejiealth Center

by Katie Wilmeth

The Health
Center was
conveniently
located in the
center of
campus,
offering
services to all
students,
faculty and
administrative
employees of
the university.
Late night
and weekend
hours helped
those in need
of medical

assistance at
all times.

There probably isn't a student on campus who hasn't woken

up one morning feeling a little under the weather. A SORE

THROAT, a splitting headache or a stuffed-up nose can all make

for a lousy day. Most of these are minor sicknesses that were cleared

up with a good night's rest. However, sometimes that nagging cough

or congested head just wouldn't go away. Without mom around,

what was an ailing college student to do?

Throughout the school year many students found their way

to the campus HEALTH CENTER. According to registered

nurse, Terry Knicely, they could see 150 to 200 students on a busy

day. The most common complaint was a sore throat. Freshman

Lauren Peacock was one of those sore throat suffers who paid a visit

to the health center. "When I had a sore throat, I went to the health

center and got it checked out. I found it very helpful. The nurse

made sure it was nothing serious and then gave me the right medi-
cine and advice on how to CARE for myself, " said Peacock. Typically, most patients were sent home with Sudafed and

Tylenol or Advil to clear up minor aches and pains or a common cold.

Many students assume the only function of the health center was to see sick patients. However, it was also a great

place to find answers to health questions. The health education program was based out of the health center and was

responsible for many of the programs students see
on campus. Outreach programs such as Alcohol
Awareness Week and AIDS Awareness Week are
both sponsored by the health education program.
Nancy Grembi, assistant director of health edu-
cation and promotion, said, "HEALTH EDU-
CATION helps students become aware of posi-
tive lifestyle choices that enhance healthy Uving
and well-being — not just now but forever. Stu-
dents could also seek out peer educators at the
health center to discuss concerns."

The health center provided students with a
place to go to take care of aU of their health needs.
When students found themselves away from
home with no doctor or mom's CHICKEN
SOUP, the health center provided a place for
reassurance and a remedy for anjthing from a cold
to strep throat.

^est Thing...

What's the best thing about spending four years atJM^?

bv Leah Bailey

Dr. Carrier
has been a
friendly face
on campus for
26 yean. His
constant drive
and vision
have been
helping make
JMUthe
ultimate
university.

On any given day, we all seem to have something to complain

about. Yet while Duke's and D-Hall may be too crowded to move in

and while the smell from nearb}' chicken farms may cause us to choke,

there is so much more to JNIU that gives it its character.

The things that give a school its true IDENTITY are its

people and their lives. For junior Kimberlee Perrv', the people at

JMU is one reason she chose to come here. "Ever\'one is so friendly.

It was the first thing I noticed when I came to \isit.'' Jenny Rogers, a

sophomore, said what attracted her was the \'ariet\' of students. "There's

so many different people, all from different backgrounds with differ-
ent personalities. There aren't any major cliques and no one is the

same."

Many students find the surrounding atmosphere and attitudes

to be their FAVORITE characteristic. "JMU has a small school

feel despite being so huge," said freshman Jeff Morris. Junior Chris- shu^i

tina Emerson enjoys the atmosphere because "there's such a great balance between academics, athletics and social life."

Freshman Christy Haven agreed, adding that "even though it's a party school, it's cool because you're always partying with

smart people."

Many students find happiness in some of the simpler things. The CAMPUS itself is a favorite of many. A resident

ofWayland Hall, junior Becky Rehm finds the view
of sunsets from her window to overcompensate for
the loud trains passing by. "\ really love the sunsets
on the Quad with the light reflecting on the old build-
ings." Sophomore Mandy Bradley also dted the Quad
as a favorite thing, particularly when it's been snow-
ing, as well as the newly-installed fountain in
Newman Lake. In fact, Bradley likes so much about
the school that she got a volunteer job as a Student
Ambassador for it. In addition to the scenery and
grounds, Bradley finds pleasure in Mrs. Green's, pep-
permint parties in the vending machine and the ab
roUers at UREC. Amy Hans, a sophomore, noted
the variety of available cereal at D-Hall as a major
plus for her, and junior Rachel Roswal mentioned
Taylor Down Under as her favorite place.

While we often can get annoyed with some
of our pet peeves at JMU, the positive far outweighs
the negative in every category.

Seven days, sun, freedom...the perfect combination for a relaxing break

beach at Rose
Island, a

Many

student rates
to the
Carhbean and

On a COLD winter day, students usually quickly shuffled
their way to class. But on the last Wednesday in February, even
the cold mist outside couldn't dampen the spirits of students who
were anxiously counting down the minutes until Spring Break.

Spring Break HYPE began in early November when
colorful flyers with pictures of tropical beaches Uttered the bulle-
tin boards around campus. Students were PROMISED dream
vacations in exotic locations at special student rates.

Southern Florida, the BAHAMAS, Cancunand Ja-
maica were among the more popular destinations.

"Eight of us piled into two cars and were on our way to
Panama City," said junior Renee Macri. "We had such a great
time laying on the beach and dancing in the clubs. We were lucky
that it was warm and sunny all week."

Making PLANS, finding enough money and making down payments were just some of the HASSLES
that some had to deal with. "It was a little annoying trying to coordinate the money and transportation. After we got
there, though, and stuck our feet in the white sand, I knew that it was all worth it."

Some students were not lucky enough to have LUXURIOUS plans for the week-long holiday. "I was sup-
posed to go to Florida with my roommate, but a
week before break my wisdom teeth started ach-
ing so I had to go home and get them taken out
instead. It wasn't my idea of a GREAT time. I
couldn't wait to get back to school," said sopho-
more Keri Scully.

Other students made plans to return home
for the week.

"I needed a break from everything. I just
wanted to sit back and enjoy the power of ha\'ing
my own REMOTE CONTROL," said
sophomore Ryan Green.

Despite the varying plans, most can agree
that Spring Break was a time for relaxing and
enjoying the much needed vacation.

Some
students used
their free
week to help
others.
Members of
Habitat for

and local

Coin' My Way?

Jawing without a car left students relying on the bus and the ride board

by Laurie Butts

Remember the day you turned 16? Remember dad hand-
ing you those car keys for the first time? Remember ha\ing your
own WHEELS? Going wherever, whenever you wanted? For
many JMU students that feehng was only a memor\'.

The university does not allow freshmen to have cars on
campus. While a few chosen first-year students found ways to
circumvent that RULE, most freshmen had to become
reaccustomed to life without a car.

"I miss my car so much. I miss being able to go for long
drives and listen to some good music while the wind whips my
hair around," said freshman Missy McDonnell.

Many upperclassmen were also PLAGUED by not
having a car at school. "My younger sister and I share a car, so
when I go away to school she gets to keep it at home," said sophomore Keri Scully.

Students without cars had to rely on friends or the Harrisonburg TRANSIT System to get around in the
'Burg. "I really depend on my friends a lot to go places. It's hard though because if I need to do a Wal-Mart run I have
to wait until someone else needs to before I can HITCH a ride," said sophomore Matthew Thomas.

"I hate having to depend on the bus be-
cause I've never been able to figure out the sched-
ule. I tried to go to the mall once and got on the
wrong bus. I ended up on the other side of
Harrisonburg. I was so confused," said sophomore
Tyler Stevens. I

The ride board also helped many students
without cars to get home, visit friends or simply
ESCAPE from Harrisonburg. Most students
tilled out white cards requesting a destination and
a travel date. Those more desperate to find a ride
battled over whose sign could be the biggest and
most colorful.

Personalized

Students strove to add a personal touch to apartments anddotm rooms

by Eliza Copelan

"Someday we
shall aU be
someone"
reads a
decoardon in
a suite in
Chappalear
Hall. Many
students with
an artistic
flare

decorated
their dorm
rooms and
apartments
with murals
and doodles
that showed
ofif their
personality.

For many students their DOMICILE at JMU becomes
their home away from home. In order to make dorm rooms or
apartments feel as comfortable and cozy as home, many students
personalized their living space in one way or another. Whether it
was painting or drawing on the walls, hanging posters, or bringing
favorite mementos that little piece of home could always change
the feeling of a room.

"We brought these really COMFY chairs because we
knew we would have room in our quad. It made things more clut-
tered and SQUISHY, so we felt more secure," said sophomore
Jen Hamrock.

Many students decorated their rooms for different holiday
seasons. "Together we decorated our suite with all kinds of holiday
accents. It made us feel like we're at HOME, and the group effort helped us to get over our homesickness," said
sophomore Melissa Reed.

Many people gave dorm rooms an added SPARKLE by painting or drawing on the walls. "It's nice to come
into my suite and see my name on the wall along with all of the pictures drawn by my friends Our walls have a little bit

of everyone's PERSONALITY," said freshman

Courtney Miller-Jones. Other students put up
posters or favorite sayings. "Qualities of all of us
are represented on our door by quotes and favor-
ite words that we hung up," said sophomore
Meaghan Wilds.

Some students had trouble finding that
PERFECT "thing" to make their place a homey

Over 500 transfer students began their college lives anew
this year. Most transfer students cited discontent with their
former school as the number one reason for changing schools.
Many transfers also noted JMU's academic REPUTATION,
location and relatively inexpensive tuition as reasons for a switch.
"JMU seemed to offer a lot more than the private school I was
going to," said senior Brooke Atkinson.

James Newton said, "I felt I could receive just as good an
education at JMU as at Wake Forest, but with less financial
STRAIN on my family"

Transferring always involved a little hassle and a lot of
heartache. Students are placed in a new en\ironment, guided
only by a short orientation and expected to ADAPT to differ-
ent classes, teachers and students. Sophomore Kristen Miles said
the transition was "prett)' smooth" despite having to fmd an off-campus apartment. Due to the overcrowding in on-
campus housing, transfers are not guaranteed housing.

To help transfers get acquainted and fit in at JMU, a special luncheon was held on Aug. 30. The event allowed
transfers to get to know one another so that there were some FAMILIAR faces around campus right from the start.

A lot of transfers credited friendly-faced JMU with
their speedy adjustment.

"You are so unsure of what's happening.
My roommate helped me the most. Even when she
didn't have an answer for me, she helped point me
where I needed to go," recalled junior Jen Saunders.
Despite their DISTINCT former college ex-
periences, the JMU Counseling Center offered a
group in which transfers could get together and
discuss common interests and concerns.

JMU has a 91.5 percent rate of return
which proves that most transfer students settle in
quickly and are HAPPY to call JMU "home" for
the remainder of their college years.

Class Schedule

^gistration:from two precious phone calls to desperate pleas for overrides

by DENISE SEIPEL

Hoping to
find the open
section for the
class she
needs, Mary
Sherrill begins
the registra-
tion process.
Members of
athletic teams,
the Honors
Program and
RA's were
given the
opportunity to
register early
for classes.

Two of the scariest words in the JMU language are phone
registration. At freshman orientation, registration is easy. The uni-
versity preregisters students for classes. Freshmen just tell their
ADVISERS what classes they want to take and the process is
complete. But for the next seven semeters registration can be a
whole different experience.

Phone registration is a 15-day PROCESS in which ev-
ery student gets a specific time to register based on credit hours
and the last four digits of the social security number. Each session
is given an index number which students enter in by phone.

While phone registration eleminates the hassle of stand-
ing in LONG LINES, like many students did in past genera-
tions, it also had some disadvantages. Laurie Sanfillo said, "The
scariest part of phone registration is that you only get TWO
phone calls, so if you mess up you're dead."

The most frustrating aspect of the registration process for most students was not dealing with the telephone,
but with the DREADED feeling of hearing, "Sorry that section is ftdl."

Certain classes were known to be impossible to get into until entering students reached senior-year status.

Getting any class at a "good time" was also diffi-
cult. "I always end up with 8 o'clocks. I hate morn-
ings so much, but that is the only time I can ever
registered for classes," said sophomore Randy
Jenkins.

One of the biggest STEPS in registration
is deciding what classes to register for. Students
struggled to find a balance between getting teach-
ers and times they wanted. Students exchanged
"notes" on which teachers were best to get, which
courses were nightmares and which courses were
great experiences.

"There are just so many factors to consider.
What teacher? What time? Will this course count
for GRADUATION? It can be really over-
whelming," said senior Aimee Fradette.

Grafton- Stovall Theater hosted manywonderful lectxires and

presentations throughout the year, but it was BEST known for its

movies.

Although some people grumbled at the beginning of the year

because ticket prices increased from $1.50 to two dollars, students

soon discovered that their money was being well spent on a new 35mm

projector which replaced the 16mm one Grafton- Stovall had been

using.

Sophomore James Bilgihan said the best thing about Grafton-

StovaU was the DIVERSITY of films. "We have everything from

art fdms to major blockbusters to the free Sunday night English de-
partment fdms," he said.

As in past years, the movies at Grafton-Stovall followed a

specific weekly format. The theater showed past blockbusters on cmw<u

Tuesday and Wednesday nights; art fdms, foreign fdms and cult favorites on Thursday nights; and current blockbusters on

Friday and Saturday nights. The English department selected the FREE Sunday night movies in conjunction with fdm

classes it offered.

Once familiar with the format, students quickly discovered a favorite day to go to the movies. The Friday and

Saturday films were especially POPULAR.
Sophomore Sara Simberg said she liked "the new
movies I didn't get to see in the theater — and for
only two dollars!"

Sophomore Brad Bishop preferred some of
the lesser known and older fdms. "The Thursday
night films often don't run in BIG theaters, so un-
less you live in a city near an art theater, you often
don't get to see them untd they come out on video,"
he said. Bishop also enjoyed the Sunday films. "You
get to see an old movie on the big SCREEN that
you would have missed because you were so young
when it came out."

JuniorTed Boyke said Grafton-Stovall mov-
ies are "the most nonalcoholic, FULLY-
CLOTHED fun you can have in all of
Harrisonburg."

jiweek designed to introduce students to one another and to Greek life

by DENISE

Seipel

Two students
look through
memoribilia
set out at
fraternity
information
tables. The
tables, set up
on The
Commons
and in The
Village, were
designed to
give students a
first glimse at
Greek life.
Fraternity
rush was
much less
formal.

Rush was one of the most important events of the Greek
year. Rush was the time in which social, professional and service
sororities and fraternities begin the INDUCTION process of
new members.

This year fall rush lasted from Sept. 4-10 for the eight so-
rorities on campus. Normally, sororities allow 500 girls to partici-
pate, but due to the increased number of freshmen, 700 girls were
participated this year. Rush consisted of orientation, three
ROUNDS of house visits, preference night and then finally bid
night.

For many rushees, the favorite part of the process was get-
ting to meet so many people. Sophomore Kathy Selgas said, "The
best thing is to go into rush with an OPEN mind because each
sorority is completely different than anything you have ever heard."

During rush students were aided by Rho Chis. These women guided the rushees through the entire process.
During the week of rush Rho Chis stayed in a local hotel so that they could be available to rushees at all times and so
that there was no bias toward any one sorority.

Fraternity rush is very different from so-
rority rush. While the two are held concurrently
in the fall, most fraternities also hold rush in the
spring. Instead of rushing all fraternities, men are
allowed to rush only one, therefore each frater-
nity holds its own rush events.

While SOCIAL fraternities and sorori-
ties play a large role on the campus, professional,
service, and honor fraternities also play an impor-
tant part. Sophomore Pam Haraway said that she
chose a professional fraternity because it incor-
porated both social and professional EVENTS.
Rush for professional, service and honor fraterni-
ties usually occurred in both the fall and the spring.

Scope the Crowd

^ed plaza and the hill, the pe/fect places to scope those passing by

by Katie Costello & Betsy Rollins

Groups of
students siting
on the hill
enjoy a sunny
afternoon.
The hill was
the perfect
place to grab a
bite to eat
while

watching all
the people
passing by. In
the winter the
hill also
became a
popular place
to go sledding.

As you enter and leave D-hall, do you feel those beady
little eyes PRESSED against the back of your neck? Turning
your head towards the heat of those eyes will lead you in the direc-
tion of the hill. There you will find JMU students resting con-
spicuously, trying to hide the fact that they are staring at you.

Students on the HILL often seem to be studvang, eating
or socializing; however, what they are really doing is observing
and CRITIQUEING your unique style.

Freshman Sue Debernandis said that her favorite thing to
do is to "pick up a sub from Door 4 if the weather is nice and sit on
the hiU to relax and scope out the people and what they are wear-
ing.

There are also students SCOPING The Commons for future perspective dates. Sophomore Taylor Pace said,
"I go up on the hill to do homework, but I never get anything done because I start looking at all the good looking girls."
The hill is the ideal spot because nobody notices these spies.

Others like to WATCH for classmates and get to know them better. Names are constantly YELLED out to

beckon friends to join others on the hill. "I won't
call out to people but when my friends yell my name
I'm tempted to skip class," sophomore Mona
Railan admitted.

It's a SOCIAL relaxing and quiet atmo-
sphere. Whether it's to study others and their
unique style, find future dates, or get to know their
classmates better the hill is home to a LOT of
people. No matter what time of day you will find
many students there, maybe even a new

FRIEND.

Senior Charlie Enman summed it up by de-
scribing the hill as "a place to enjoy JMU and its
surroundings!"

Resident
auctions were
a popular way
to make
money within
a hall. This
freshman
dorm tried to
raise funds for
a local charity.
Hall programs
were often put
on by resident
advisors and
individual hall
councils.

Most on-campus students are aware of their resident

advisor's disciplinary duties, but not all of them know that each

semester RAs are also required to plan seven PROGRAMS

which represent the seven components of the wellness circle —

social, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, fiinctional, physical and

vocational.

Developing programs can be challenging. Senior Matt

Sturtevant, a third-year RA, said that the McGraw-Long Hall

staff BRAIN STORM ED on programs during staff meetings.

"It is important to hit on issues people are familiar with," he said.

Because each program requires a lot of preparation, they couldn't

be throwTi together at the last minute. RAs had to request things

like money for pizza or supplies from Wal-Mart and sometimes

schedule a speaker. Then they had to advertise the program about

a week in advance.

One of the programs Sturtevant was most proud of was the Candellight Vigil for World AIDS Day that he

and several other groups on campus ORGANIZED. "It was something that we felt very positive about, something

that has become an annual eventand I hope it will continue," he said.

Senior Lisa French, an RA in Hoffman
Hall, said that publicity was key. She sometimes
held her programs in the lobby to attract people
coming in and going out of the building. Al-
though programming was hard work, French said
that it was one of the main reasons she became an
RA. "When people show up, you know what
you're doing is WORTHWHILE," she said.
French said that the ftin and artistic programs were
the most popular.

In addition to providing unity within the
halls, programs also helped students to relax and
have fun. Sophmores Laura Roder and Page
Slusser said that they especially enjoyed the exer-
cise, meditation, MASSAGE, and playdough
programs in Logan Hall this year. Roder said that
hall programs "help you to relax."

Mom's cooking, your silly little dog, your own bed, familar faces....

Class of

by Liz Thompson

There is no
easier way to
cure home-
sickness than
a little quality
time with the
parents. This
student and
her mother
enjoy

spending time
together
during
Parent's
Weekend held
during the fall
semester.

Freshmen arrive each year eager to explore a new environ-
ment, to shed their high school images and begin what they are
told are "the best years of their lives."

After lofts are assembled, last minute trips to Wal-Mart
are completed and hugs have been exchanged, students are left
feeling very ... alone.

For a week or two the independence is great. You order
pizza at 2 a.m. and stay out all night. But sooner or later many
freshmen find themselves with a sense that something is missing.
The homesickness bug finally bites.

"I don't know of anyone who wasn't a little miserable the
first month or so. Everything familiar is miles away from where
you are," said sophomore Denise Seipel.

Most freshmen compensated for their sudden loss by
checking their mailboxes three times a day, writing coundess e-mails to other homesick friends and running up telecom
bills that rival the national debt.

Sometimes it wasn't even mom and dad who were missed the most. "I missed my boyfriend the most," said
freshman Lindsay Evans.

"I missed my dog a lot," said freshman
Cindi Walters.

What is the best cure for homesickness?
Most upperclassmen cited getting involved in an
activity as the best method for beating the home-
sick blues. "I've been keeping busy," said fresh-
man Colleen Courtney. "Now I feel at home here
because I have commitments. "Talking with other
students who are experiencing the same feelings
also helped. "I was sitting in my room feeling like
no one around me would understand, but once I
got to know the girls who lived around me I real-
ized that we were all feeling the same way," said
freshmen Nicole Lewis.

Homesickness was not for freshmen. Up-
perclassmen were occasionally hit by a twinge of
the blues. "I feel sad on my birthday because I'm
not with my family, " said junior Amanda Smith.

some time to

think about

Although

in every now

College: a new atmoshphere, new rales, lots of chances to make mistakes

by LIZ Thompson

Sliding across
the Quad
during the
flood of 1996,
this freshman
makes the best
ofthedayoff.
Due to
overcrowding
in freshmen
dorms, many
first-year
students were
housed in
halls located
directly on the
Quad.

You walk out of D-Hall after lunch. Suddenly bells and
whistles are going off. Did you win something? No, you've just
exited through the fire exit and now you've announced to the en-
tire place that you're a freshman.

One of the required parts of being a freshman is being
clueless. You can be sure that the poor girl who set off the fire
alarm will never do it again. Freshmen are usually pretty easy to
spot early in the year.

Freshman Chris Darren was reprimanded at the recreation
center by a junior for spending too much time on a piece of equip-
ment. Ignorance of rules and policies was usually what led may
freshmen astray.

Kate Hedson said, "I stood directly in front of Godwin
Hall for twenty minutes one day before I realized you had to be at
the bus stop in order to get picked up."

For freshman Andy Carson's birthday he decided to have people over to hang out in his room. "I got written up
four times that night!" he said.

A general lack of familiarity with campus grounds caused some first-year students headaches. Freshmen Meghan
Nichols and Meredith Leporati seemed to have a bit of trouble differentiating between residence halls in

the Hillside area. "We live in McGraw-Long, but
we kept going into Bell thinking we were in the
right place," Nichols said.

Once freshmen learned their way around
they quickly blended in with the rest of the stu-
dent body. Once the initial embarrassment had
passed, the follies of freshmen year became some-
thing to laugh about and look back on as on of
the first memorable moments of college life.

Sophomore Debbi Ensfield remembered
one of the silliest things she did during her fresh-
men year. "I sat through an entire lecture before I
realized that I was in the wrong class," she said.
"Leave it to me to be the only person at JMU
who goes to more classes that I am supposed to."

After their first year, members ot the the class of 2000
have akeady started calling JMU "home."

"It was hard to come in at first, but once I got here and
settled in, I decided this place pretty much rocks," said Rebecca
Vogelmann.

Making; theTRANSITION into their new home, how-
ever, was not easy for some. "We were on the fitth floor in Shorts
and the elevator was broken on move-in day," said Lindsey Hodges.
After moving themselves in, some freshmen found new,
long-lasting friends within the comforts of their own residence
hall.

"I consider myself LUCKY to have been put in the 'pent-
house' of Eagle," said Karen O'Saben. "My haUmates and I are
real close, we do ever\thing together." The class of 2000 has also
DISCOVERED that there is more to JMU than just going to classes. "I was overwhelmed when I first took the
UREC tour, it's an amazing complex," said Hodges. JMU, however, also has its share of disturbances.

"I have lost count of the number ot mornings that I have been awakened by the BEEPING of the JMU
vehicles, " said Virginia Almond. Stephanie Low and Christ)' Waggoner recalled the time when they waited at the mall

for the bus to come, while it was snowing. After
standing outside for several hours, a Wal-Mart
employee graciously gave them a ride back to cam-
pus.

"We think that Wal-Mart employee is a
saint," said Low.

Freshmen year not only meant new friends
and fond MEMORIES, for some it was also a
year marked by personal growth.

"I was very shy upon entering JMU, but as
the year progressed I became more outgoing," said
Hodges.

With GROWTH, however, came
"growing pains," including how not to do laundry
"Don't ever wash reds with whites," said
Alison Flora. "They come out pink."

'Parent's ^ay

•freshmen parents get their own weekend to experience college life

byJAQUELINECOOK

This student
and her mom
make the
mandator)'
trip to Wal-
Mart Parents
Weekend was
an opportune
time to do a
little

shopping and
enjoy a meal
at one of the

restaurants
around town.

On November 2, JMU hosted its FIRST Freshman Par-
ents Day - and its last, according to Glenda Rooney, Assistant
Vice-President of Parent and External Relations.

"Freshman Parents Day was exciting," Rooney said, "but
we just did not have the numbers we expected. Those who did
come loved it."

Freshman Parents Day, held two weeks after Parents Week-
end, was an attempt to give freshman and their parents some im-
portant, SPECIALIZED information that they may not have
received during Parents Weekend. Also, Rooney said,
"Harrisonburg can never accomodate all of the PARENTS who
want to attend Parents Weekend." She had hoped that Freshman
Parents Day might be helpfial to some of those parents who had
no place to stay for Parents WEEKEND.

Jessie Drieman, a freshman whose parents did not come to Freshman Parents Day, said "My parents did not
come because they had just been here two weeks earlier for Parents Weekend. And the week after that, I went home for
Fall Break. Two weekends in a row with the folks was plenty!" For freshman Matthew Burnett, however. Freshman
Parents Day provided an opportunity for him to spend time with his parents, who had not come to JMU for the
EARLIER Parents Weekend, but were able to make the drive for the day. "It was good to see my parents," Burnett

said.

Unlike Parents Weekend, which showcases
things like FOOD services and musical groups.
Freshman Parents Day provided a departmental
fair, workshops for undeclared majors, and pro-
grams on academic advising and career services.
According to Rooney, all of the programs received
POSITIVE feedback . The parents ot tresh-
man have different needs from those of older stu-
dents and also have many new things to learn, so
the information provided on this day was well-
received. The problem, however, is that there were
not as many parents as expected, to take advan-
tage of these programs.

So, while the parents who did attend Fresh-
man Parents Day learned a great deal of valuable
information, the JMU administration also learned

by Mitch Vaicerics

The sign out
in front of
Howard
Johnson
welcomes first
year students
to their new
home away
from home.
The inn
accomodated
170 freshmen
and helped
alleviate the
overcrowding
on campus.

Over the summer, students anxiously waited to hear which
dormitor\' they would be li\ing in for their first year at JMU. When
that envelope from JMU finally arrived, some students received a
big surprise ... the^' received their living assignment: the

HOWARD JOHNSON'S Hotel.

Freshman Carolyn Keating said, "At first I didn't want to
live there at all and I really hated it, but then I really started to lo\'e
it."

Living off campus for their first year could be quite nerv'e
wracking for the inexperienced freshmen.

Anne Larus said, "We just came from the comforts of
HOME and we weren't given any time to gradually get used to
the college experience. We had to learn how to take the bus to
classes which is especiallv difficult when the majority of our classes
are eight in the morning."

^Although these freshman mav have missed out on the typical campus experience, they lived in large, carpeted
rooms with a BALCONY and own bathroom. They also received MAID SERVICE once a week, free HBO and
were permitted to have a car for their first year.

Hojo's was much like a t)'pical college dorm, complete with RA's on each floor, a study lounge, and message
boards displayed on the outside of everyone's door. Each room accomodated three students. The constant buzz of

Interstate 81 mbced with the tA'pical laughter and
music normally heard in a residence hall.

Aaron Ritchey said, "We have a good time
here. It's something that bonds us all together."
In the WARM MONTHS, when the fresh-
men first arrived at JMU, it was easy to meet oth-
ers living at the Howard Johnson's. The students
were permitted to use the POOL. After classes,
the pool deck was a popular site to meet other resi-
dents. Students also left their doors open hoping
some fresh faces would come in their room to get
acquainted.

Freshman Zen Iqbal said, "It has its ups and
downs, but mostly ups."

Freshman Molly Ryan agreed saying, "You
get out of it what you put into it. It was really a
blast!"

Sneaking In

JVame not on the list? t)on t know the people throwing the bash? Oh Well!

by Mitch Vakerics

Devious JMU students used every possible technique to
sneak into parties. Party CRASHERS were not alvi^ays as
stealthy as they thought they were. Some attempts to SNEAK
into parties were noticeable and unsuccessful. Some of those who
did sneak in were either lucky, or the person working the door
was a little careless.

The most popular method of sneaking into a party was
the screen technique. After a group of four or five people had
been admitted into the party room, the party crasher quietlv
blended in behind the admitted group, using them as a screen.

The infamous phrase, "I've already been into the party"
was a trick students were partial to. However, if they were not
sweating and did not smell of BEER and cigarette smoke, the
person at the door usually had an idea of the truth. Legal and cam-^di

minor markings, however, placed on the top of everyone's hand did hinder many students looking for an easv way in.

"It gets old hearing the lines people come up with in their attempt to talk their way into a party-", saidsophomore
Troy Lane. "It would be nice to hear the truth every once and a while."

Party crashers' eyes lit up when there was a big crowd in front of the table. Informallv known as the diversion

preoccupied with other people trying to talk their

Fraternity parties alone were not the onh'
place students could find a fun place to meet
people. Off-campus students often threw bashes
for friends and neighbors.

"It's a lot easier to get into an apartment
parrv' than on the Row," said freshman Jennifer
Berwick. "We love just walking into apartments
that are having a party- and meeting a completely
new group of people."

Through it all, a good time was to tound

They see each other's names across the screen... it's love at first type.

by Nicole Steffey

Her palms were swearv, her heart pounding, the cursor was
flashing on the screen... would he ever write back?

The information highway has vastly changed the lives ot
many students over the past few years. Research for a major term
paper could be done without ever stepping a foot into Carrier Li-
brary. Asking that INTIMIDATING professor a question
about Thursday's assignment no longer had to be face-to-face. And,
in some cases, meeting that special someone no longer required
playing the field at Frida}- night's big part)'.

"I had recieved this e-mail from some stranger. It was ob-
vious from his MESSAGE that he had just sent it to the wrong
address somehow. So I wrote back to him to warn him of his mis-
take. He wrote back to me to sav how embarrassed he was. Some-
how we just started writing each other," said junior Kelley Prescott.
The Internet pro\'ided students with a whole new wav to
make connections, whether it was with a total STRANGER or a long-lost friend.

"I was doing a class assignment, looking at other colleges' WEBPAGES and I remembered that an old junior
high school bo)'friend went to one of the schools. I looked him up in the school directory and sent him a RANDOAI
e-mail saying 'remember me". He wrote back and we've been pen pals ever since," said sophomore Rachel Thompson.

Occasionall}' the information highway
played the role of MATCH MAKER, linking
two students who would liave never met up on
rhe highway of life.

"My triend and I were just having fijn one
night last year prank calHng people over the VAX
phone CONNECTION. We called this one
guy who thought what we were doing was really
funny. We got to talking and decided to meet at
D-Hall for dinner one night. We hit it off and
started dating like two weeks later!" recalled jun-
ior Sand}- Friedman.

"We always tell people it was LOVE at
first t\'pe."

Orientation

Jhra/eip summer days students got a first look at how college works.

by JEFF Morris

Enjoying the
sunn\- day in
August, these
students wait
for the next
round of
placement
tests to begin.
Orientation
was a time for
students to
meet one
another, while
scheduling
classes and
taking
placement
tests.

For most students, the first real experience ot the James
Madison University community came from the time of freshman
orientation. It could have be as long as four or five years ago, or as
recent as a little over a year ago. INTRODUCTION to col-
lege life at JMU began over two very warm, summer days.

Because JMU welcomed one of the largest freshmen classes
ever, almost 800 freshmen, orientation became a WHIRL-
WIND of activity. Upon arrival in Harrisonburg, coundess in-
formational programs, assessment tests, meetings and workshops
were waiting. From meeting the dean of their respective college,
to learning what a JAC card was, students were immersed in what
it would be like to be a freshmen.

After dinner, members of the theater department deliv-
ered a SPIRITED presentation of "The Illustrated Student
Handbook." This entertaining program gave students a humorous Cantvjdi

GLIMPSE into the lives of freshmen. Later in the evening, students had the opportunit}' to ask candid questions
about college life to their orientation assistant during the "Lakeside Chat."

For one night, new students got a teel tor what living with a roommate in a residence hall would be like.
Freshmen were housed in the Village, in Chappelear and Frederikson Halls, during Orientation. Chris Campbell, a

freshman, commented, "Mv first impression was
that is was so hot in Chappelear, it almost made it
impossible to sleep."

SCHEDULING and meeting with an
academic advisor was a ven^ important part of ori-
entation. To make the transition to college lite
easier, students were provided a temporar\' sched-
ule and could add or drop CLASSES the\'
wanted to take.

Orientation was not onlv tor freshman,
transfer students also participated in the "get-to-
know-JNIU" activities. While "the college scene"
may not have been totallv difterent, JMU was a
whole new world tor transfer students as well.

"I reallv had a great time during Orienta-
tion," said treshman Erin Kelly. "I knew that I had
made the right decision about schools and that I
was going to love n\\ next tour }'ears."

As the beginning ot April drew near, students opening their
P.O. boxes twisted the combination dial with great anticipation
and apprehension, not over FEAR of last month's telecom bal-
ance, but over finding that other envelope inside — their housing
lottery number.

As early as December, students began the somewhat pain-
fill PROCESS of trying to make housing arrangements for the
following year. Who to live with and where, became the hot topic
of conversation among many groups ot triends.

As March slowly passed, students planning to stay on cam-
pus kept their fingers crossed in HOPE of being high on the
lotten' list. Once the letters had been sent out the process went
quickly. Students could look on the VAX bulletin board to see it
the dorm of their choice was filled.

"We reall)' wanted to live in Frederickson. We checked the c>i-7««//

bulletin board ever\- hour and just watched helplessly as every room was taken," said sophomore Sheena Carleighson.
For the CHOSEN few who did make the top of the list, the lottery system was still not always simple.
"I was so relieved when I got a great number, because I thought my roommate and I would have our choice ot
residence halls. But, we ended up having huge FIGHTS because she wanted to live in Bluestones and I wanted to live

in the Village. It we hadn't had so much to chose
trom our decision would have been easier," said
junior Paula Richards.

"1 was so HAPP\ to have a great slot, but
all my friends were so mean to me the whole couple
weeks because they were so mad that their own
numbers were so bad," aid junior Mandy Schell.

Some people decided to try to find loop-
holes in the system. "Two of our friends got great
numbers and my roomie and I got bad ones. So
we planned a httle skeem." said sophomore Carrie
TeUher. "We switched roomates during the LOT-
TERY so we all four got great rooms. Then on
move-in day we told them we wanted to switch
roommates! I couldn't believe it worked!"

Although

them from

For many students, college was a time to leave home and
make new friends, but for others it was also a time to strengthen
old ties with people they had been CLOSE to for most of their
lives — their siblings.

Senior Gretchen Verrey said that she was excited when
her brother Ray, a sophmore, came to JMU. "He knew that I was
having a good time here and he had friends here," she said.
Gretchen said that one of the advantages of going to the same
school was that when their parents came to visit, the whole FAM-
ILY was together.

Although Gretchen and Ray went to the same high school,
Ray said that going to the same college is a very different EX-
PERIENCE. "In high school, we had the same friends and
saw each other everyday. Now we have to make plans to see each ^""^

to JMU from Mary Washington College. She said that having Susie here helped her to adjust because transfer stu-
dents must find their own housing and knew some girls who were looking for an off-campus roommate.

It is different from high school because
they don't have classes together at JMU. "If we
didn't live together, we probably wouldn't see each
other," said Christine. Both Susie and Christine
said that hving TOGETHER at college wasn't
much different from living together at home. "We
still have seperate rooms," explained Susie.

The biggest drawback for the Cosby's was
that the sisters couldn't see each other graduate
because they received their degrees trom difter-
ent colleges and the ceremonies were held at the
same time. Their disappointment was further
evidence that family TIES are strong at JMU.

by AiMY Keller

Between New Year's Eve and St. Patrick's Day, there is a
holiday like no other - a holiday dedicated entirely to love and
romance. Every year on FEB. 14 students go out of their way to
share their feelings and express their love for that someone spe-
cial.

"Nothing beats Valentine's Day," junior Brandon Har^'ev
said. "For 364 days of the year you just know that _\'ou have some-
one SPECIAL, but on Feb. 14 you show them just how special
they are to you."

Freshman Jenn Chapman agreed, "Aside from m}- Birth-
day, Valentine's Day is my favorite day of the year."

Although VALENTINE'S DAY is a good time to tell
your significant other how you feel, it should not be the only time,
according to freshman Susan Womack. "It's a good time to do
something nice, but you should do something nice every day of Mdrwiti

the year and not just this one winter day," Womack said.

While Valentine's Day holds a special place in the hearts of some students, others look at it as just another day.
"My roommates always cry and complain about how lonely they'll be on Valentine's Day," said junior Nicole Steffey. "1
just don't understand why people get so upset over a holiday card stores invented. I've dated the same guy for SIX

YEARS - 1 don't get anything and I don't care."
Unlike Halloween and the Fourth of July,
holidays that are celebtated annually with enthu-
siasm, Valentine's Day is not always eagerly
awaited by every student.

"All these glassy-eyed people running
around talking about LOVE," freshman Colleen
Courtney said. "It makes me sick."

Even for students who have someone to
celebrate the day with, Valentine's Day isn't al-
ways a big deal.

"AI> BO^TRIEND took me out to din-
ner which was nice but it could have been any
night of the year," junior Kelly Kenneally said.

Despite how individual students fell abou;t
Valentine's Day, decorations and increased flower
sales in the Burg proves that love is definitely in
the air.

j/Issessment ^ay

Jhr some students, a day off. Jhr others, just anotlier day of test taking

by ERIN BiNNEY

On Feb. 18, 1997, JMU canceled classes not because of
snow or flooding, but for Assessment Day. Freshmen and juniors
had the day off, while sophomores and some seniors were assigned
one of two testing times according to their social security num-
bers. The tests measured a variety of things from academic sub-
jects to personal GROWTH.

Junior Rosalind Morris was happy with her "sleep day" this
year. However, she vividly remembered the tests she took last year
— "all essay," she said. Morris added that assessment testing can
be frustrating because "you never see the RESULTS so you don't
know the purpose."

Dr. T. Dary Erwin, director of student assessment, said
that the results of some tests are not published because many of
the TESTS are stiU under revision. The results of other tests,
however, such as the ones taken at orientation, are sent to students

via e-mail. Erwin said the results of all tests are used for internal purposes. "They help us to see how courses and
programs are doing at JMU," he said. The results are also looked at by the state.

Senior Anne Walsh never had to participate in Assessment Day because of the number of CREDIT hours she
had earned. "Assessment Day is good for me because I get the day off" she said.

Walsh felt that the most effective assess-
ment testing was that which seniors took. Seniors
were tested on material they studied in their major
either through a senior seminar course, a capstone
course or a written test, Erwin said.

Unlike Walsh, most students were unable
to ESCAPE the tests."Everyyear I dream about
being one of the chosen few who does not have to
take part, but the dream never becomes a realiU',"
said senior Kristin Temple.

For students who did not have to partici-
pate in Assessment Day, the day was used to catch
up on sleep, school work and relaxation. Those
who did participate provided the universit)' with
valuable information about its students.

Sleeping Spots

WJien late-nigJn study sessions and pcutiesfuKilly take their toll

by Amy Keller

After staying
up all night
studying for a
test, Christine
VanVlcck
takes a quick
nap in her
room. Many
beds became
places for
eating,
socializing,
studying and
occasionalU
sleeping.

Sleep deprivation is a universal problem for nearly all col-
lege students. With tests, papers, labs, parties and other social
events piling up and lasting well into the night, sleep is often the
first thing SACRIFICED.

"There are just so many things to do at college that sleep-
ing is no longer a priorirw" said freshman Sara Yakovac. "But even-
tually the lack, of sleep catches up with me and I tall asleep in class
or in the library when I should be studying."

For many students who sacrificed their precious nighth'
hours to do schoolwork, sleeping during the DAY was a com-
mon occurrence.

"I'm usually up until at least 3 a.m. doing something," said
junior Jen Graham "All I can think about during the day is taking
a NAP but I know if I go home and get in bed I will sleep the day
away. So instead I usually go to the airport lounge and lay down in one of the big, COMFY chairs."

The airport lounge, a popular meeting spot for students, is known for its couches and chairs that beckon
students and lull them to sleep. "It never fails," said sophomore Matt Ellison. "If I go up there to read the paper or
watch TV, I'm ASLEEP in no time. The onlv bad thing is that there are so manv people around that just as I'm

falling into a DEEP, dark sleep somebody gets
real loud and wakes me up."

Although many of the renowned sleeping
spots on campus were crowded with talking stu-
dents, there were spots void of the chatter.

"I love to sleep on the QUAD," said se-
nior Brian Mix. "Even during the winter when
its cold I take a big jacket out and I sleep like a
baby."

In addition to the AIRPORT lounge
and the Qiiad, students could also occassionally
be seen napping in the mail room, under a tree by
Newman Lake and sometimes even in D-Hall.

"I went to D-Hall to study during finals
and I guess I fell asleep," junior Shilpa Mathi said.
"I was so EMBARRASSED when one of the
women who works there had to wake me up when
the building closed."

CONQUER

It wasn't so long ago that athletics at James Madison University rested in the
hands of women. Competitive lady-like sports like badminton, table tennis,
shuffle board, archery, basketball and synchronized swimming attracted many
of the students. Today, however, JMU offers more than 26 varsity sports for
male and female students alike, possessing a cultural diversity of athletes and a
wide variety of events. Student participation in sports began primarily as a form
of recreation for those interested in exercising their bodies as much as their
minds. It has evolved, though, to become a large part of the college experience,
encompassing much of the excitement and spirit that is synonmous with athlet-
ics at JMU. Madison has become home to some of the best athletes in all areas
of sport: varsity, club and intramurals. With the support of fans and the drive of
the athletes, the Dukes can conquer all.

ith high expectations from
the past few years of success, the football
team prepared for
another season of excellence
with sights placed on a confer-
ence title. With an early exit
from the Yankee Conference
tournament last year, the Dukes
hoped to avenge that loss and
make a statement about the
worth of this new rejuvenated
team.

The season began on
Sept. 7, with JMU pitted against Shippensburg in a
game much closer than most had expected. Going
into halftime, the score was tied at zero. With the
second half still to be played, JMU had a lot of ques-

tions to answer about the quality of play exhibited in
the first half The team answered these questions with
a burst of offense and solid de-
fense. The Dukes took charge
of the second half, shutting out
Shippensburg, 30-0.

The first game symbolized
much of what the football team
went through this season.
Though tough times brought
tough losses for the team, these
were all learning experiences for
the team and head coach Alex
Wood.

The theme of the JMU football, in its 25th year,
was that of rebuilding. Though JMU returned 42
lettermen from last season's 8-4 team, it also lost 25 play-

ON A MISSION

c/o the Breeze, Laura Sotilur

Pield -f-lockey

Last year the JMU field hockey team, coached
by Olympian Christy Morgan, extended its
regular season win streak against teams in the
CAA to 17 and claimed the 1995 CAA trophy The
team also played in its third straight NCAA tourna-
ment, making it to theFinal Four for the second year
in a row.

This year, with those accomplishments be-
hind them, the team hoped to keep its CAA champi-
onship title. The team faced a tough schedule as 12 of
its 18 regular season games were away. It began and
ended its season against North Carolina, the 1995
NCAA champion and also traveled to four schools
that were all ranked in the Top 20 when the season
began. The Dukes themselves began the season ranked
fourth.

With the graduation of key players, one of
the team's objectives was to find a player to fill Carole
Thate's role. The team was young with only two re-
turning seniors and seven freshmen. Morgan said,
"Coming into the season with only three returning

starters set the tone for a challenge, but it was a chal-
lenge that everyone accepted. With each game, we
learned and grew. We were a young team and with
youth you're going to go through a lot of growth and
inconsistency. We definitely challenged the best teams
in the nation."

This season, a change in the official rules
eliminated offsides, which resulted in higher scoring
games. There wasn't one player who dominated the
team. Leading scorers on the team included Julie
Martinez, Dianne Cegielski, Karen Zarchin and
Nicole Gaudette. The Dukes' defense was anchored
by Kelly Krieger, Karen Zarchin and Tara PeriUa.
Perilla said, "We're really young; we had only three
seniors and seven freshmen. We had a lot of poten-
tial and a lot of skUl."

While this year might have been seen as a
challenge, it was also viewed as an opportunity. The
team reshaped itself this year and had considerable
success whUe doing so. The team looks forward to
repeating its success next year.

DANCE FEVER

Dukeffes

From complementing the marching band in
Bridgeforth Stadium to taking center stage
at the Convo, the Dukettes built on the en-
ergy of the crowds and players to put on the best per-
formance for the Dukes and their fans.

"We put a lot into
ever)' performance," said Tara
Smith. "We love being out in
front of the crowd."

Afer joining the
Marching Royal Dukes last
season, the Dukettes have in-
corporated many new rou-
tines and moves into their
repertoire. The team also ac-
companied the band during
their halftime performance
during the Washington
Redskins/Dallas Cowboys
game last year at RFK
Stadium.

"Being part of the marching band halftime
show has given us more exposure and more opportu-

'*■ 5onal Putt ■^

nities to perform for the crowd," said Lindsey Awbre\'.
In order to pertect its routines, the team prac-
ticed every' day during the season. A strict regimin ot
dancing and conditioning kept the members in top
shape. The high level of skill and energ)'led the team
to their first bid to compete at
nationals.

"It was a real honor to be in-
. ited to Nationals," said Nanc\-
koht. "We were picked as being
one ot the best in the nation."

Although the Dukettes were
individuals with their own st\'le
.ind tlair, the combination of
these differences is what added
to their performance.

"If we all had the same
moves, it would look mechani-
cal rather than sharp," said
Smith. "The reason that we
work so well together is that we all ha\'e different out-
looks and interpretations of the moves. We all work
differently but come together as a team to give the
best possible performance for everyone."

CLUB CRAZY

Club sports, ranging from caving to roller hockey,
were an important part of the JTvIU communit)'.
' Students gave many reasons for joining club sports.
Some said thev did it for the social aspects of joining a club.
Kelly Jensen joined the Water Polo Club because she "wanted
to meet new people and have fun."
Others said they did it for the exercise
and because the varisty level was too
competitive or time consuming. Still
others said that they wanted to tn,' a
sport simply because it sounded in-
teresting.

The clubs competed at dif-
ferent levels. Some competed in
leagues, others traveled to tourna-
ments and a few dubs just competed
within the JMU community. The
Rugby Club, for example, was a member of the Virginia
Rugbv Union. The league included other Virginia schools
such as Virginia Tech, Old Dominion Universir\' and Will-
iam & Mar\'. The club traveled to different colleges during

the year to play against that school's club team or in a tourna-
ment. These clubs gave their members opportunities to take
part in the de\'elopment of leadership as well as group and
social fiinctions. They offered a break in the monotom- of
academic life and gave rise to new friendships and skills.
Hunter Bankart, a member of the
Rugby Club, said he enjoved the
"comrader)'" he developed with his
teammates. Members of all club
sports shared a comrader\- with one
another bv getting involved. Thev
made it apparent that these clubs were
an important and fiin part of life at
Madison.

"Club sports had a successfiil year.
Both the mens' and womens' soccer
teams attended Nationals in Austin,
Texas. They qualified for Nationals by placing first in the
region. It was a ver\' exciting year, " said Tamer Moumen,
president of the Men's Soccer Club and the club sports coun-

The 1996-97 cheerleaders made the year a suc-
cess through hard work, dedication and
teamwork. Despite a few minor setbacks, the
team looked great during its routines. "Eveni'body
pulled together and worked that much harder this
season to compensate tor our
losses," explained sophomore
Pat Lovett.

One of the team's
strengths was the well-
roundedness of skills. "There
are a lot of really talented people
who are skilled in different wa\s,
so when we come together, we
are great as a team," said fresh-
man Jennifer Burrell.

"The team works reaU\
well together. There is a unique
bond holding us together this
year. It's really neat," captain Kim Shuford added.

Last year the cheerleading squad placed first
in the Division I National Championship. Members
persevered to bring home the gold once again. Sopho-
more Clay Rowland said, "We want to go back and
defend our national championship. If we work hard

and practice hard, I think we can do it. "

Coach Rickey Hill tried to give the squad a
new, clean look with sharper moves. "We're trying to
add a lot of new things that people haven't seen, such
as different tricks that make us different," he said.

The relationship between the
team and the crowd plays an
important role during the
frames, and the cheerleaders act

f.is a medium between the two.
Captain Ron Farrington said,
"When the team is down, we
help the crowd get back into it ,
which helps the team get back
on their teet." Jennifer Barrel!
agreed: "The higher our level ot
enthusiasm and the more will-
ing we are to pa\' attention to the
crowd, the more the crowd yells,
and this helps the team to score even more," she said.
The squad also devoted time to the Duke
Club, different charities and the Multiple Sclerosis
walk. "It's good to see these guys in another world
besides jumping around at games," said Hill.

A SPIKE ABOVE

Volleyball

Under the direction of first-year head coach
Chris Beerman, the volleyball team got off
to a good start in two early season tourna-
ments, capturing first place at both the Thundering
Herd Invitational and the Campbell Classic.

Beerman, along with
his wife, Mary-Beth, and Rob-
ert PuUiza officially took over
the squad in early 1996 and led
the team through a successfiil
spring season during which the
Dukes gained confidence for the
regular season. All three coaches
were standout volleyball players
at Ball State Universit}'.

"We had the entire
spring to regroup," Beerman
said. "Our goal was to keep
pushing forward and getting bet-
ter and better every day in prac-
tice."

Sparked by the new training style and philoso-
phy as well as the return of senior Susan Martin after a

one-year hiatus, the Dukes surpassed last season's win
total of nine early in the season.

"We're in more of a winning mode this sea-
son," Beerman said. "We set our sights high and we're
not thinking about the past."

Lindsay CoUingwood and
Beth Tyson added to the
team's overall success by ex-
celling early on. CoUingwood
was named MVP of the
Campbell Classic, one of five
such honors for her this sea-
son, and CAA Player of the
Week twice.

The Dukes also got strong
performances from Kristie
Da\adson and Kari Kopnicky.
One of the team's goals this
season was to reach the 20-
win mark, which they met
with a win over VCU. Other goals included winning
each tournament, excelling in the CAA Champion-
ships and possibly earning an NCAA bid.

Coming off one of the most successful years in
the histor}' of the program, the JAIU men's
soccer team entered the
1996 season with high expectations
of returning to the NCAA Tourna-
ment and surpassing the accom-
plishments of the 1995 team.

The Dukes entered the sea-
son ranked 16th in the nation by
Soccer America and proved their abil-
ity to take on any team in the coun-
try with a 1-1 tie against San Fran-
cisco in a preseason match. Senior
Sipi Savolainen scored the Dukes
lone goal.

Without last season's stars
Pat McSoreley, Nathan Fairchild and Danny Ensley,
the Dukes had to reconstruct their midfield and find
new goal scorers. Junior Jake Edwards and sophomores
Mike Brizindine and Kevin Knight took over the scor-
ing responsibilities early on guiding the team to a 11-
stjirt. Edwards led the team in scoring with 1 1 goals
before reinjuring his foot in the Oct. 12 , 6-0 win over

occe.V'

UNC-Wilmington.

Despite the loss of last-\-ear's pla\-ers, the team
did not lose any team unit}'. "We
played like a team and worked
hard for each other," said senior
tri-captain Barry Purcell.

As in past years, the Dukes'
defense was steady from the be-
ginning and the kevto man\' wins.
Led by goalkeeper Purcell, the
defense included senior tri-cap-
tains Kyle Swords and Mark
Miles. Purcell set a school record
for consecutive minutes on the
field (643 minutes, 42 seconds)
that stretched from the Sept. 2
win over Virginia Tech to the overtime win over
Maryland on Oct. 9. Purcell also led Division I keep-
ers in goals against average (0.21) through Oct. 1,^
and was named Colonial Athletic Association player
of the week for the week ending Oct. 6.

Last year the women's soccer team, consisiting
of nine underclassmen, won the CAA cham-
pionship and advanced to the Sweet 16 round
of the NCAA tournament. This year, under the lead-
ership of head coach Dave Lombardo and assistant
coach Barb Chura, JMU was considered the team to
beat. The team had a difficult
schedule, but JMU proved to be a
worthy opponent.

Lombardo said the four
seniors on the team provided a
spark and pushed the team to ex-
cel. Samantha Andersch, one of
the best center midfielders in the
country, and co-captain Kristi
Palmaccio set a solid foundation in
the midfield; Jen Cuesta, JlVIU's
1995 defensive MVP, anchored the
defense; and for\vard Julie Mason was a valuable re-
ser\'e player.

The Dukes enjoyed depth on the forward line
with several players capable of filling the starting po-
sitions. Because the offense was well-balanced and
well-rounded, the team didn't look to one person for

all of the scoring. Tasha Ellis was one of the leading
scorers on the team and had the potential to be one of
the leading scorers in the country. Sophomore Therese
Wolden was also a top scorer, aided by her speed and
finishing ability. Other valuable scorers were midfielder
Lauren Stritzl and junior co-captain StaceyTourtelletc,
who was considered the workhorse
of the offensive line. The experi-
ence of returning starters made the
defense strong. Sweeper Lisack,
commented, "We came together
well as a team and played to our
strengths. Defense-wise we did
well also. We were comfortable
pla\ing with each other. I was con-
fident with us back there."

This year's women's soccer
team showed its great skill and po-
tential. According to Lombardo, "We played well. VVc
were in the Top 20 almost every week. We were .i
better team in terms of playing abilit)' and leadership,
and we played one game at a time." The team ha-
already enjoyed considerable success and expects to
continue the winning tradition in seasons to come.

Somewhere between academia and
athleticism exists golf. An enduring intel-
lectual challenge, golf is a combination of
strategy and fluidity of motion.

The JMU women's golf team was comprised
of seven talented individuals. While
the number of players was small, the
team's depth yielded a formidable
force in the college arena. Led by
Jeff Forbes in his first year of coach-
ing, the team responded to a de-
manding fall schedule fdled with in-
clement weather and player injuries.
Forbes, an alumni golfer,
returned to JMU after three years
on the Future's Tour. His back-
ground and experience were
complemented by the team's two
tournament wins, a reduction of in-
dividual stroke averages and a solid
recruiting year. He believed that
continual success in these areas will
lead to a Top 25 national ranking.

Forbes described the young team as "a great

group ot girls who have the talent to perform, but
who think too much on the course, which can ham-
per their true natural playing abilities." Freshmen
players Charisse Doles, Heather Jeffries and JuUe
Russum answered the demands placed on student
athletes. Returning to the JMU
lineup were sophomore Sarah
Homes, juniors Kathryn Yard and
Danielle Zahaba and senior Kristin
DoUenburg.

The Lady Dukes began the
season with a fifth-place finish at
the Penn State Invitational. They
then had a first-place finish at the
Longwood Invitational, which
proved to be a catalyst for a second-
place finish at Methodist College.
Other tournaments included UNC-
Chapel Hill, the JMU Invitational,
the East Coast Athletic Conference
Championships and finally Geor-
X. wiihams gia State.

The team ended the fall
season looking forward to four spring tournaments.

Swinging into the 1996-97 season, the
women's tennis team set goals with high ex-
pectations and a desire
to be a tough team to "match".
The Dukes established a repu-
tation as one of the finest pro-
grams in the East.

Returning head coach
Maria Malerba said, "We were
really excited about getting the
season started because we had a
great group of kids who worked
ver)' hard and pushed each other
to get better." Under Malerba,
JMU boasts 17 winning seasons.
The Dukes returned
with one senior, three juniors,
two sophomores and two fresh-
men on the team. However,
players and coaches were not
concerned about a relatively young team. "We re-
turned our No. 1 and No. 2 singles players and our
No. 1 doubles combination. Also, our younger play-
ers were all so close in ability that they could be placed

• \\'cndv

anwhere from No. 4 to No. 8. With that kind of
depth, I think we were very competitive," said Malerba.
At the JMU Fall Kickoff
Tournament, the Dukes played
Da\'idson College, George Ma-
son Universit)' and American
Universit}', winning six out of
eight possible singles and
doubles titles. It was a tourna-
ment of domination, and mem-
bers played as it they were in
midseason form.

The women's tennis team
started the season with impres-
sive matches and skill. However,
players began to slow their pace
in the middle of the season. Fol-
lowing a competitive schedule,
the team trailed the competition
by a narrow margin. The team,
with a roster of highly skilled athletes driven to suc-
ceed, still remained focused and continued to keep faith
in their abilitiy as they strived to meet their goals.

The JMU men's golf team entered the fall sea-

boasted the leadership of 1995 Virginia State Coach
of the Year Paul Gooden, who said,
"If the guys do okay, the coach does
okay."

Despite the loss of three
players, the team finished the fall
season second in the district. Of the
10 members, only five travel to and
compete in tournaments and
invitationals. Bryan Jackson, Steve
Ligi and David Mandulak
consistantly finished in the top four
and made up the final team score.

"We do a lot more than
people expect," Ligi said. He added
they lifted weights three times a
week, woke at 6:30 a.m. for aerobics
and spent time in UREC.

At the Seton Hall Pirate Invitational, Jack-
son and Ligi were the top JMU finishers and the team
finished second. The Dukes also finished second at
the Georgetown Hoya Invitational. After tying for

fourth place at the Virginia Intercollegiate League

Tournament, the team finished second at the JMU

Fall Classic. Jackson finished eighth there and shot

his first hole in one.

Tournament results were
misleading. The team did not win
anv of the fall tournaments, but the
scoring average dropped from 306
to 298 this year. Faber Jamerson
explained, "We are plaving better
than we played last vear, but other
teams are playing better than we
are."

Encouraging younger play-
ers were able to compete as a "B"
team in the JMU Fall Classic. They
finished eighth, beating several
competitors' primary teams.
Mandulak said the Fall Classic was
the most memorable tournament of

the fall season. "Our whole team was there. It was

kind of nice — a special event to have."

"Our program is on the rise," Mandulak said.

"We're getting better and better every semester. We

Led b\' seniors Cullen de Windt and Peter Faigl,
the men's tennis team
had high expectations
earh' in the season. The team
strived to play to their fuUest
potential and bring home the
CAA title.

The team competed in
a fall and spring season, leaving
Uttle time for off season train-
ing. The rigorous match sched-
ule kept the team focused and
in shape tor their upcoming sea-
son. "There really wasn't time
to sit back and take it easy," said
CheU Lamm. "If we weren't in
direct competition, we were
training and practicing."

The team opened their
spring season at the Virginia
Tech Invititational. Despite losing their first two
matches to Appalachian State and Virginia Tech, the
team went on to win the ne.vt three of four matches.

SonaJ

"It was a little discouraging to start out with
losses, but we bounced back be-
cause we knew we were better
than that," said de Windt.

With the spring season com-
plete, the team turned their
sights to the upcoming fall sea-
son. Coach Steve Secord
planned to use the fall season to
measure their strengths, deter-
mine the lineup and build con-
fidence in his younger players.

Showing well in both singles
.ind doubles competition, the
team was on their way to a
strong finish. However, Febru-
ar\' brough tough times, finish-
ing the month 1-5, with their
only win against West Virginia.
However, the Dukes woukl

the CAA title next season, the team is looking to add
more weapons to an already talented roster of players.

hoped that b}' capitalizing on re-

The Dukes started the sea-
son on the right track with a sec-

Dukes, finishing sixth on the 8000-
meter course. The Dukes finished
ahead of several nationally ranked
teams, boosting them into the Top
25 in the NCAA poUs.

The Dukes ran strong at
several important meets. These fin-

fiaU potential. With a successfiil
second-place finish at the CA^'V championships, Rvan

Coleman were named to the .AJl-CAA team. Then

the Dukes focused on the IC4A meet.

Injuries and Ulnesses kept the Dukes from

running to their fuU potential. "At times during the
season, we ran to our fuU potential,"
said coach Pat Henner. "Despite
being one of the best JAIU cross

disappointing finish. Our finish at
the IC4A meet was not reflective
of how we could have done. "

Junior front-runner Ryan

Despite a disheartening fin-

fter the 1995-96 season last vear un

. head coach "Lefr\'"
)riesell, who took over the team
in 1988, this year's team had to
get things back together. An ex-
cellent staff returned including
associate head coach Chuck
Driesell, assistant coach Phil
Cunningham, team trainer Ron
Stefancin, conditioning coach
Greg Werner and 24-year
equipment manager Dave
Reedy. The Dukes also gained
coach Eric Pauley. With a solid
staff, the foundation was set for
a great season. Of course, the
efforts of such a distinguished
group called for a soUd roster of
players.

A notable loss was that of Darren McLinton,
who averaged 22.7 points per game last year, the sec-
ond best season average ever by a Duke. The admin-
istration had to go out and do some good recruiting.

The Dukes gained a quality- guard in Jamar Pern-;
power forwards Kevan Johnson,
Arar\in Zaanadam and Chatnev
Howard, a junior transfer from
junior college; and some much-
needed size down low in Mate
Milisa and Rob Strickland, the
latter being one of the most
sought after recruits in the na-
tion. Added to a group of re-
turning starters and lettermen
which included Charles Lott,
CAA All-Rookie selection Eu-
gene Atkinson and guts-\' sixth

team was ready to go.

After a few e.\hibitions, the
season was under wav and JMU
got off to a rocky start with a

Howard, arguably the best starter on this team, and
Ryan CuUcerto, who pla)-ed with such intensity- that
a group of tans in one corner ot the stands referred to
themselves as "Coolio's Corner," became household
names, at least in the 'Burg.

Then began the ups and
downs. Throughout the season,
JMU managed to come up with
some big wins, but often man-
aged to let the inferior teams shp
by them. After a huge confer-
ence win against CAA rival
team ODU on Jan. 25 in front
of a crowd in e.xcess of 6,500
people at home, many began to
forget about losses to inferior
CA^\ match-ups.

Down the stretch.
Coach Driesell was proud of his players for all the\'
accomplished. As senior guard Ryan Culicerto said,
"Coach is prett)- happ\-, I think, with what we\'e ac-
comphshed so tar. I mean, he was det'mitely upset

about those games we let shp awa)- that we shouldn't
have but seeing how a lot of people picked us to finish
as low as fifth or sixth [in the CjA.-\] and all year wc
have been contending for the league, I think he is real
happy with what we've done." Despite the pride both
the coach and pla\Trs may have
had with their regular season
success, Culicerto went on to
explain, "Anything less than
winning the CAA tournament
and receiving an automatic bid
into the NCAA tournament
would definitely be a disap-
pointment."

However, the CAA Tourna-
ment proved to be a tough haul
tor the team. Fighting their wa\
up the CA'\ draw, the Dukc^
earned a spot in the champion-
ship game against ODU. Staying close throughout
both halves the Dukes ultimately feU to the CAA lead-
ers in the last minute ot over-time, 58-62. This loss
also marked the end of Drcisell's coaching career at
JMU, whose contract was not renewed.

^ I ntramural sports were intended primarilv to at-

V^^ through athletic participation for the entire James

While serving to cultivate lifetime
recreational skills, intramurals
strive to integrate students socially
in a sports setting and to foster a
spirit of sportsmanship and fair
play among participants and spec-
tators. Intramurals offered a vari-
ety of opportunities for individu-
als of all abilities.

Many groups ot students
got together and started their own
intramural teams. With such a
wide variety of sports offered, any-
one had the chance to get involved

and do something they love. In addition, if there was a

sport that was not offered, they had the chance to start it.

from year to year. Sophomore Eli

cided to play again this year."
Scott Sayman also played three-

agreed that participating in intramurals was one of the best

tive 20-win season.

The Dukes opened the
season with a challenging non-

Maine and Kent were their first
three opponents, all of which
went to the NCAA tournament last season. The tough
opening schedule prepared the Dukes for conference
pla^'. A strong nonconlerence schedule helps in con-
sideration tor an at-lara;e tournament hid.

While the Dukes relied heavily on the experience ot
veterans Rilinger and Schreib,
the team also looked to new-

Colebank jumped out of the gate

RING LEADERS

While new recruits or freshmen are often referred
to as the "new blood" of a collegiate sports
team, new coaches can have just as much of
an impact on the team's performance as any player.

Jeff Forbes, who took over the
coaching position of the women's golf
team this year, said "I really enjoy be-
ing out there with the team. I see them
work hard and do their best and it
makes me proud."

Of course, as the plavers
gained experience, the coaches gained
experience in guiding them. Tom
Martin, the men's soccer team coach,
felt that the team's trip to the CAA
tournament had a positive effect on
the team. "Having a great group of
young men to work with makes my job even better. I en-
joy seeing them succeed individually and as a team."

Of course, not all coaches who stirred the team
were new to coaching at JMU. Men's basketball coach
Left)- Driesell remained at the helm this year, hoping to
capture his 700th win and earn a spot in the record books.

A !^iiTionc Figiila

L-eading players
through hoops of fire
and glo^^■, coaches offer
stabiliU', training, direc-
tion and opportunities
tor success.

However, Left}- was stopped short of reaching his 700th
win mark at JMU. FoUowing the Dukes' loss in the CAA
championship game to ODU, JMU decided not to renew
Lefrv's coaching contract. A week following the announce-
ment, Sherman Dillard, the former Indiana State Univer-
sity' head coach, was named the
Dukes' leader.

"It's so great to be back home,"
said Sherman to a crowd gathered at
the Convocation Center.

Other coaching changes also oc-
curred during the last few weeks of
school. Women's basketball coach,
Shelia Moorman tendered her resig-
nation after 15 years at the healm. Al-
leged problems between players and
coach Moorman apparently led to the
sudden announcement in March.

Through all the fanfare and excitement surround-
ing athletics at JMU, it was the role of the coach to be the
backbone and inspirational leader of the team. Although
not always in the spotlight, it were these people who kept
the spirit alive within the team.

lic school with Ivy League quality. Over the years, JMU
has reached a higher level of athletic
training, ability and professionalism.
This glowing reputation has helped
to spread knowledge of JMU's ath-
letic program not only nationally, but
also internationally.

Why do these international
players come such a long way to at-

a college education, which often
does not play a prominent role in

Compared to other countries, the way sports are

played at JMU does not really differ according to most

international athletes. There are only a few differences.

According to Tasha Ellis from Ontario, "There are not
big differences. However, soccer is
more popular here than in Canada.
I believe it has become a lot bigger
in other countries, though."

Sipi Savolainen from Finland
said, "Soccer is not that different in
my country, and is basically plaved
the same way." However, Savolainen

was surprised at the quality of the
skill level the players at JMU pos-
sessed. One difference noticed by
Milisa was the competition among
basketball players. "Here you have to fight for a place on
the team, whereas in European basketball it is easy to be
recognized if you are a good player."

WARMING UP

There are always those members of the team
who seem to shine a little brighter in the eyes
of fans and media. Their presence on the
field, in the pool or on the court is constant. How-
ever, behind the team stars,
there is a group of players
dedicated to the Dukes and
to their quest for exceUence.

Nicknamed
"benchwarmers" for their sit-
ting location during games,
these players add more to the
dynamics of the team than
most realize.

"It'c called a team for
a reason," said senior Shelly
Klaes, a member of the la-
crosse team. "It's the whole
roster of players working to-
gether to bring out the best
in everyone."

Even sports that based on indi\'idual pla\', team
spirit is always high. Sports such as archer)-, g)-mnas-
tics, swimming, tennis and golf look to individual
members to succeed.

Do benchwarmers

find their posi-
tions on the team
satisfying or are
they ready for
some real action?

"We cheer for each other no matter what,"
said Scott Colston, assistant coach of the archery team.
"We value ever\'one from the best archer on the team
to the new guy who is having a httle trouble. Everj'-
one is important."

Sometimes, however,
it is the part of the
benchwarmer to take on the
role of spectator, instead of
player.

"I was a walk-on the
baskteball team my sopho-
more year," said Brian
Ballard. "I didn't get much
playing time that year but I
think it was really good for me
because I watched more ex-
perienced players on the
team and learned about the
game."

With many talented
students with athletic abilit)', spots are scarce on a
team. However, many benchwarmers have a real op-
portunit)'. They're watching, learning, waiting and
preparing for their turn to shine in the spotlight.

^ I ust as the world of politics, religion and interna

^_| tional affairs changes with every passing day, the

1 / world of sports also saw radical changes and

achievements. This year was monumental in the accom-

phshments of many individuals as well as teams.

The World Series trophy came back to the Bronx,
belonging to a New York Yankees team that never gave
up. Together they pulled oft" the ultimate comeback. The
Yankees won their first World Series title since 1978 with
a 3-2 victory over the defending champion Atlanta Braves
in Game 6 on Saturday, Oct. 26, 1996. This marked the
Yankees' 23rd title, the most in historj' and surely one of
the most remarkable.

With the Olympics back in the United States,
Kerri Strug made news in her Olvmpic competition. She
had two goals coming to the Olympics: to make the all-
around women's gymanstics finals and to have a good time.
Strug's vault that sealed America's first Olympic team gold
medal and made her the countr)-'s newest sweetheart also
left her with two torn ligaments and a sprained left ankle.
Her royal treatment started when her coach Bela Karolyi
carried his latest star back into the arena for the medal
presentation.

Chicago Bulls basketball star Dennis Rodman
taped a scene for "3rd Rock from the Sun" for the weekly

television show which appeared in September 1996. Rod-
man, author of the best-seUing autobiography "Bad As 1
Wanna Be," signed copies of his book beneath a mural
with some of the 20th century's greatest writers:
Hemingway, Orwell, Nabakov and Joyce. His pen was
clasped in a hand dehcately sheathed in silk, arm-length
gloves. As he does on the court, Rodman created chaos.

Michael Johnson knows how to close out a deal
quickly and eftlciendy. When he thought that his 1996
Olympic rivals in the men's 200 meter might threaten his
19.66 world record, he upped the ante. He broke it him-
self, coming in with a 19.32 time.

The sudden success ol 20-year-old Tiger Wood
in his first two months as a professional golfer focused
attention on golf in a way unseen since the days of Arnold
Palmer. "He's just so cool," said 12-year-old Derek
Dickson. "It's really neat that someone his age can beat
ever>'body." Woods, whose father is black and whose
mother was born in Thailand, is well aware of his role as a
pioneer in a game that is overwhelmingly white on a pro-
fessional level. "It 1 keep progressing in golt, I could help
bring more minorities into the game and make it more
diverse," Woods said after practice.

Together, these athletes and others have made U.S.
sports something to be proud of

TOUCHE

e-KVCIKV

Fencing has been an Olympic sport since the
start of the modern
games in 1896. This
ancient, elegant sport calls for
both grace and athleticism.
JMU boasts a small, but talented
women's fencing team. The 11-
member team competed in 27
dual meets this season.

Head coach Paul
Campbell head coach said, "The
team really puUed together. Ev-
erything was a team effort.
There were strong people in
each squad. We had a very heavy
schedule with 27 dual meets but
expected a winning season."
Each member's goal was to
qualify for individual participa-
tion in the NCAA Tournament.

CoUegiately, women's teams fence with two
of three possible weapons, the foil and the epee. Both

are thrusting weapons. Leadership of the epee squad
fell to Katie Sechrist, who filled
the role of epee squad captain.
She said of the team, "Most
people don't come to JMU plan-
ning to fence. This year, we got
a lot of freshmen who have
fenced in the past. There was
talent from different stA'les. We
had the reputation of a team that
people liked to fence."

The foil squad was led by
Heather Robertson, who spent
the previous year fencing in an
amateur club in Germanv dur-
ing a vear abraod. Everyone on
this squad played a large part in
the team's success.

Regardless of the outcome ot
the season, the women's fencing team demonstrated
dedication and determination. The small team made
its presence known against formidable opponents.

Sometimes the fans seem just as

The lengths that some people go to show

a tootball game. "I remember it being about 20 degrees out-
side and five guys wrote DUKES across their chests. They

son White remembers a basketball game a few years
ago when a Purdue player made the crowd mad. "For
the rest ot the game, whenever that gu\' got the ball,
the Zoo Cage booed him." At court level, the Zoo

Cage is always there to back up the

players.

The attendance at most of the
other sports has risen in the past few
years as JMU has evolved. All of
this support has helped lead the
Dukes to many victories. "Not only
does all of the cheering and shout-
ing help the players, it makes going
to the games more fiin. I love get-
ting involved in what is going on

since I can't be on the field playing," stated sophomore

Malinda Layman.

No matter what vour reason tor going to the

games, the spirit that JMU students exhibit motivates

the players to give it their all and win the game.

-^ fter a somewhat rocky start, the Dukes
.^ / \ came into an eight-game winning streak.
^y V "I was very happy with the effort and
attitude of last year's team," stated head coach Kevin
Anderson. "The team had a lot of expectations on
numbers that only put limita-
tions on our season," continued
coach Anderson. The streak in-
cluded three wins against UNC-
Wilmington and also wins
against Towson State, UM-Bal-
timore County and Hartford.

After their streak, the
Dukes found themselves faced
with a hurdle of tough competi-
tion. The tough times were
caused by an inability to prove
themselves offensively. Facing
such teams as Virginia Com-
monwealth, Georgetown, U. Va., Eastern Carolina
and Virginia Tech, the Dukes struggled to maintain
their winning record. After a regrouping, the team
pulled together once again. Senior second baseman

didn't want to end up as a below average team."

Coming off of their losing streak, the Dukes
redeemed themselves with a victory over George
Washington, 30-8. This con-
stituted a 1995-96 team
record for the most runs in a

scored several runs in the first
inning and after that we felt
comfortable. We kept getting

umphed over record snowfall and inju-
ries tor the men's track
team. The Dukes capitalized on
both youth and experience in their
very successfiil finish of the 1995-
96 season.

Training was plagued by
poor track conditions, injuries and
illnesses. However, the resilient
Dukes aimed to add a successful
outdoor season to their already suc-
cessful indoor season. Coach Bill
Walton said, "The one word which
seemed to be used over and over
again was the word patience." With
the support ot the coaching staft and
team veterans, the men's track team
braved the tough conditions and set their sights on a
successfiil season.

Led by co-captains Chris Kearns and Pat
Jennings, the Dukes faired well early in the season at
the Colonial Athletic Association championship meet,
hosted by JMU.

At the Intercollegiate Association ot Ama-
teur Athletes of America meet, the team relied on
contributions from sprinters, hur-
dlers, jumpers and distance runners.
The team was pleased with their suc-
cess; their patience had paid off

"We took one of the largest
groups ever to the IC4A Champi-
onships," Walton said. Fifteen ath-
letes representing 13 events partici-
pated in this meet. Tom Jeffrey gave
an outstanding performance at the
IC4A meet, fmishing seventh in the
3000-meter steeplechase. This
earned Jeffrey All-East honors for
this event. Sophomores and juniors
also played a critical part scoring
points at the big meets. Freshman
standout Russ Coleman qualilA'ied for IC4A and Jun-
ior Nationals.

The Lacrosse team battled against difficult
odds all season, but finished with a respect-
able record of 9 wins and 8 losses. They
were faced with a very tough schedule during the
spring season. All of the teams that they had to face
were among the top 15 nation-
ally ranked teams at the time that
the JMU women played them.

The team was following
a very succesful season, which
added the pressure of expecta-
tions to an already difficult
schedule. Last year, the team
was invited for their first appear-
ance ever at an NCAA tourna-
ment, and the 1995 team broke
or tied eight school records for
lacrosse, including season goals
and points.

"We had a pretty disap-
pointing year. We did a lot better last year, and we
need to do better next year," admitted sophomore
Aimee Vaughan. She was, however, excited about
their last game of the season. The team suffered

several losses during the spring season to women's
teams ranked nationally in the top 10.

But a great deal of team growth came out of
this challenging season. The team is stUl adjusting
to coach Jennifer Ulehla, whose first season coach-
ing the JMU women was last
year.

"This was our second year
with the same coach. We're see-
ing how she coaches us - her
pattern - and we understood
where she was coming from,"
said Shelley Klaes.

Another positive element
of the season was the strong
young members of the team.
Freshman Megan Riley, an at-
tack player, and Rebecca Tweel,
a defense player, were invited to
the Junior World Cup of 1996.
Riley also received the Rookie of the Year
Award for the team. "It's exciting to see new
memebers of the team playing well and being rec-
ognized," said third-year player Klaes.

The team achieved outstanding individual
and team honors which included the men's, women's
and mixed teams aU being named East
Region Champions and the NAA
overall national runner-up. Four play-
ers, Randy Hinkelman, Scott Colston,
Jennifer Jordan and Jo Malahy, placed
on the All- American team.

The women's team was led by
Amanda Atkins and Ail-Americans
Jennifer Jordan and Jo Malahy. Be-
cause the archers on the team com-
pete not only with other teams, but
also with each other, Atkins said that archery re-
quires a lot of individual dedication. "You have to
put forth your own effort." Atkins also added that it
is important for archers to have strong concentra-
tion and poise. "The slightest error can ruin a tour-
nament for you," she explained. Jo Malahy said her
competitive nature helps to keep her focused and is

key to her success. "I am extremely driven to win,"
she said.

The men's team was led by All- Americans
Randy Hinkelman and Scott Colston. Hinkelman
said that maintaining a high confi-
dence level makes him successflil. He
also said that his teammates help each
other out as much as possible.

Although archery is not a popular
spectator sport, Colston acknowl-
edged the university's support. "JMU
supports the archery program mon-
etarily," he said. This enables the team
to travel to competitions at which they
gain more experience and exposure.
Competing with other very successful archery pro-
grams forces the team to push itself harder, he ex-
plained.

"We have sohd competitors in all four cat-
egories - men's recurve, men's compound, women's
recurve and women's compound," Colston said.
"That makes us very tough to beat."

Attracting many students for the fellowship, community interest and campus
involvement, the Greek system flourished once again in the wake of an increased
student body. With over 700 female students rushing in the fall, several sorority
pledge classes exceeded 55 members. To many, joining the Greek system was
much like joining an extended family. Aside from the social gains, many organi-
zations donated time and money to national and local charities. The members
of the Greeks system joined Delta Gamma in their annual Anchor Splash event,
raising money for Service for Sight. Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity staged
Lombardi Gras II, a charity concert held on Godwin Field in honor of a brother
diagnosed with Cancer. Alpha Chi Rho helped to beautify the community by
painting a mural at the Monte Video elementary school. Through social and
local involvement, the Greek system united to strengthen ties between them-
selves, the university and the community.

IMAGINE

"The most comprehensible thing about the world is that it is incomprehensible."
-Albert Einstein. Trying to capture all the different faces of JMU with a staff of six
made me realize the profoundness of this statement. Expressing the true essence
of JMU on film was nearly impossible due to the diversity of student perspec-
tives, but we did our best in depicting what we thought being a student was like.
Whether it was a graduate streaking the Quad, a freshman worried about appear-
ances, the lost soul getting trampled in Dukes, or a dreamer relaxing in the Valley,
we made these moments permanent. If not for the happy-smiley and occasionally
sad and downtrodden people of JMU our job would not have been accomplished.
We came, we saw and took some pictures. The following pages represent the
creme de la creme of our "creative" photos. Imagine that? The gallery is a personal
statement of each photographer approved by the NEA, your local PTA and FDA
so no artificial ingredients included (in this section), not really, but ENJOY . . .

PROGRESS

As we steppped onto the campus for the first time, we were all our own person;
possessing own unique personalities, ideas, morals and opinions. Little did we
know that as we leave Madison, four years later, we would have changed so
dramatically and in so many ways. Our narrow scope of the world was broad-
ened to include people and experiences spanning the nation and globe. We saw
the world come together in a grand show of athleticism and competition as the
Olympic Games returned to America. Another presidential election came and
went with students becoming more involved with the political world. Within a
closer community, we saw campus grow to endless bounds, welcoming more
students than ever before. We were also witness to tragedy in our own backyard,
as we bid farewell to friends and loved ones close to us. We have changed infmtely
with the world around us. We will continue to progress after our Madison days,
taking all we have learned from her and others in our lives.

"Like a bird upon the

wind, these waters are

my sky. Til never reach

my destination, if I

never try. So, I will

sail my vessel until the

river runs dry. "

Garth Brooks

To say that I have changed in the past four
years is truly an understatement. I can't even
begin to catalogue all of the people and events
that have influenced and shaped me into the
person that I have become.

My time as Editor In Chief was one
of the most rewarding, happy and painful
times in my life. There were times when
things could not have been better. Then there
were those da\'s that felt like they would never
end. But looking back on the year, the good
times and the bad, I know that I would not
trade this whole experience for the world. I
would not give up the friends I have made
and the knowledge I have gained from this
staff for anything.

This book sitting before vou is a di-
rect result of the work and dedication of the
members of the Bluestone staff who worked
tirelessly to produce this yearbook for the stu-
dents ot James Madison University'.

In this staff, I found promise, drive,
emotion, perfection, grandeur and friend-
ship. I could not have asked for a better group
of people to work with, learn from and laugh
with. It is beacuse of them that I am proud
to say that 1 was part of the 1997 Bluestone.
So, here you go, guys. It's your book. Be vet)-
proud.

Garrett, what would I have done
without you? You managed to make sense of
all the chaos I caused. So, where will you be
jetting off to ne.\t? Jamaica? Boulder? Good
luck with everything and I hope our paths
cross again after May.

Amy, it's been four years and I'm sad
to see them go. Let's plan another trip to Or-
lando. I think that we still have a seat with
our names on it next to Prince Charming. 1
walk home now ... Thanks for everything.

Oh, Evan. What a year. Incase I for-
got to mention it, I think that you are the
most talented photographer to ever have
graced the pages of the Bluesto?ie. You truly
amazed me time after time. Thanks for al-
ways trj'ing your hardest to keep me happy.
Buzz Lighrvear to the rescue.

Rachel, I don't know where to start.

I feel like we've been through so much to-
gether. Over the past three years, you have
become one of my closest friends. I don't
know what I would have done without you.
1 have no fear that the Bluestone is in good
hands. Always remember the Pal Martin
imposter, Mr. Root and Dave from Planet
Hollwood. Thanks for everything. By the
wa)', Pachel L. Posvval, do you want to drive
the van?

Leah, how happ)' am I that you
came to be on staff with us; if not only for
\our soft-spoken words of wisdom and your
sunny disposition, but also for preventing
Rachel's impending heart attack. I'm so
glad that we've brought out your mean side,
too!

Nicole, don't \vorr\'. You're now of-
ficially done. No more names, majors,
hometowns or mugshots. You did a great
job. How about doing it again? Thanks for
everything.

Wendy, you are just too cute! I'm
so luck)' to have worked with you this year.
I see a silver book in our future.. .and if any-
one can pull it off it would be you. Is there
a screen on }our sports pages, or did we just
imagine that? What do you look like?

Becky, you seem to complete the
set. I alwa)s knew that hin was around when
you and Wendy were in the area. Thanks
for not getting mad when I repeatedly called
you Wendy or deleted 16 completed pages.
(I still feel bad about that!) Thanks for al-
ways staying on top of things when I fell
behind. Yay for you!

Erin, guess what? You don't have
to proofread this page. Yay! Your dedica-
tion to perfection was inspiring. I was never
in doubt when it came to you. Why don't
we each order a Charlotte pasta plate made
for a family of six and a loaf of garlic bread?
Thanks for being as anal as I was.

Cassie, would vou like to type in
the AZA group picture in again? I know
that at times, this job was more than you i
had bargained for. Thank you for always
coming through and for making the Greeks

Progress

&Orgs. sections better than they have ever
been before.

To all the photographers, thank
you, thank you, thank you. Your great vv^ork
never went unnoticed. Reed, thank you so
much for all your hard work. It was so
comforting knowing that you were on the
job. Anymore papers to write? Meagan,
can I possibly misspell your name any more
times than I did? Thanks for always doing
the job with a smile. Statia, I see big things
in your fiature. By the way, how do you
spell your last name? New York was a blast.
Kat, how did you like being on the Blue-
stone} Fun, fian, fiinlThanks for everything.
Jerry, I'm done. I can't even be-
gin to count the number of times I came
to you with some problem that you were
able to fix. Thanks for everything. How
about another trip with us to Orlando?
Have you recovered from the last one yet?

Scott, no more deadlines and
two-hour long phone messages. Thanks
for always putting up with my crazy ques-
tions and requests. Good luck everything.

To all the volunteers that showed
up week after week to help make this year-
book a reality, I give you my undying
thanks. We couldn't have done it without
you. Jeff, Tom (Paul), Rick and everyone
else, thanks for everything.

Amy R, my how the years have
flown. It's amazing that it all began four
years ago, in a Residence Hall far, far away.
I wish I had known then how important
you would become to me. How many days
till graduation? Have flin in London.

To all my friends in AOQ, thank
you for all the good times and memories.
You have all meant so much to me. I hope
I gave you half of what you all gave to me
in spirit, support and love. Brooke &Jenn,
I couldn't have asked for a better famUy.
Go Footballs!

Meghan, Tammy and Jessica,
what a great year. Who knew that four
people could be so different and yet have
so much fun. You know you have it good
when the last place you ever want to be is
outside of your apartment. Long live Lois
Lane. Too bad about the Cows.

Oh, Jess. How do I begin put this
year into perspective? There is no one else
that I would ever go bunjee-jumping with!
In you, I found a teacher, a confidant, a

comedian, a soul mate, a friend. You and me
are like peas and carrots. I hope you know
what a special person you are. Enjoy your
last two years of college and think of me once
in a while. I'm totally loving you. Bombs.

And finally, to my family, I have to
give you my eternal thanks for allowing me
to live life to the fullest. I couldn't have asked
for more support, love and guidance from
you. Thank you, Annu, Amma, Payal and
Maya for everything. I love you all.

With the thank-you portion of my
Oscar acceptance speech concluded, I have
to finally say farewell to JMU. As I walk
through this beatifiil campus for the last time
as a student, I am reminded of why I fell in
love with JMU and why I am so sad to say
goodbye. I'U miss the snow capped peaks of
the Blue Ridge Mountains cresting over
Wilson Hall and the friendly faces that greet
you at every turn.

So, wdthin these pages of the Blue-
stone, I leave the university a little piece of
myself I hope that this record of history
helps you all remember how special James
Madison is. I know that I will never torget
the people and the places that have made
JMU home in my heart.

So, I pass the torch onto you,
Rachel. I know that is only the beginning of
your amazing list of accomplishments. Re-
member to keep O-Boy in check and have
fun. It's the experience of a lifetime. You'll
make me proud, I know it.

Although many will tell you that all
evidence is to the contrary, I seem to have
found myself with nothing left to say. The
reason for that, mainly, is because my tour
years at JMU can not be summed up easily
in a paragraph (even though it's written in
1 1 pt. ACaslon). I've loved my time here and
hope never to forget a second of it. So, to
the entire Bluestone staff, the Class of 1997,
my friends, family, and myself, I leave a
heartfelt Yay for You. May JMU as special
to you all as it has been for me.

"Oh this shiny new computer —

there just isn't nothin' cuter.

It knows everything the world ever knew.

And with this great computer

I don't need no writin' tutor,

'Cause there ain't a single thing that it can't do.

It can sort and it can spell. It can punctuate as well.

It can edit and select. It can cop\' and correct,

So I'll have a whole book written by tonight

(Just as soon as it can think ot'wha/ to write)." -Falling Up, Shel Silverstein

The last three years at the Bluestone have taught me more than any class
ever could. Sonal, I don't know what I'm going to do when you're stalking
Dante in Livorno and not here to take me everywhere and listen to me
complain. I appreciate everything you've taught me. ..especially gi\ing me
the ner\'e to approach people. Leah, you've been the best to work with.
I'm so happy that we got to know each other You'll rock at whatever you
do. Wendy and Becky, silver and yellow stripes would be great for next
year. Thanks to Dana, Alison and Liz for putting up with my never being
around because ol this windowless office in good old Agony Seizure, ha.
A BIG THANKS to everyone who helped me out at the last minute at
deadline. O BOY: you know who you are. Erin, don't stress. ..you are
GREAT at what you do. I don't know what we would have done without
you. FYI Writing Center, thanks for paying so much attention to my
yearbook stories. Ed and Kerry — only one more year to listen to all of
this. Michael Glabicki thinks we're cool. "Now the world don't move to

"The most important things are the hardest to say. The
are things vou get ashamed of, because words diminish them
Words shrink things that seem endless when they were in you
head but no more than actual size when they were brought out
But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things li
close to where your secret heart lies buried, like landmarks to
treasure your enemies would love to steal away, and you may mak
revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you i
a tlinny way, not understanding what you said at all or why yo
thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying ii
That's the worst, I think, when a secret stays locked inside not fo
want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear."
— Stephen King

Thanks to all the Blue

stone staff for a memo
rable, terrific year! An
thanks to Sonal and Am
for choosing me to be
part of it.

Sonal, I'm so prou

to have contributed to sue

a great book! But in

thanks go to Rachel espt

with that you were. You are truly a treasured friend.

fhat do you mean? Another year's gone by? Amy: "It's definitely
5t David?", "It never had a chance." How good it was to be back in
ant of a layout - complaining about life with you. That's where
e'll always belong. "We're so nasty, I love that!" Sonal: You can
lax! Your work paid off. Rachel: Your enthusiasm was always re-
;shing to me. I'd wish you luck next year, but you won't need it!

/^hen I walked into the Bluestone office at the end of August for my

'St meeting as co-Sports editor,

didn't know what to expect. It

as rough in the beginning but

.e whole staff was incredibly

;lpful. Thanks to everyone for

itting up with the goofyness of

fendy and I. I hope we made

;e late nights before deadline

ore fun. I just can't believe it's

[ over already!

Wendy-we made a great team, thanks for putting up with
e. You're great and you know it.

Sonal-one day Dante wiU be yours!

Evan-don't you ever forget about Buzz Lightyear to the res-
le. May it hang in your Ufe forever.

Rachel-don't worry-Wendy and I really are normal.

Thanks to everyone. You've helped fiU my year with won-
:rful memories.

Wendy Crocker
Sports Editor

I see silver in the future, as I plan to continue to be a part of the
Bluestone staff, if they will have me. Being
a newcomer was complete chaos, but after
Becky (my soul-yearbook-mate) and I took
time out with Sonal and figured out what
we were doing, I relaxed and took it one da\-
at a time. Lots of laughter was found along
the way as we worked our fingers to the bone
night and day to come up with a unique but
harmonious book that best represented
JMU. Buzz Lighr\'ear came to our rescue
and aided us in our times of emotional dis-
tress. The positive atmosphere cannot be es-
caped and seeps into your soul as you find vourself saving "Yay for
You!" I have gazed into the mind of a professional, pohte stalker and
witnessed breeze bias, learned from a true editing hfesaver, seen a
layout master at work and looked through the eyes of craz\' photogra-
phers who wUl do an\thing for a picmre, such as running to railroad
tracks under a sunset sky. Overall it's been a real learning e.xperience,
making me stronger, wiser and utterly sUlv. Let me just leave with
the question "What do you look Uke?"

Cassie Chin
Greeks 8c Organizations Editor

IN MEMORIAM

hr^*^'

♦ ■,■* —

There are places I'll remember all my life,

Though some have changed.

^ome forever not for better,

Some have gone and some remain.

All these places had their moments,

With lovers and friends I can still recall,

Some are dead and some are living

In my life I've loved them all.

-the Beatles
