MAKING A person ' s world is influenced by the events that occur around them. At JMU, students understood that they could make a difference in their surroundings. By becoming involved in the vast number of activities available, students dem- onstrated that they wanted to take an active role in the course of their college career. JMU facilitated the demands of the students by sponsoring and supporting a wide variety of events, lectures and opportunities to pui sue their interests. Whether watch- ing a local band, traveling, or meet- ing people with similar attitudes toward life and its purposes, stu- dents utilized their time to make their impact on the world around them.

HOT $ POT the Deep in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley laid a strip of land that did not appear on a tourist map. There were no t-shirts, pennants or even bumper stickers that paid tribute to this land. In fact, there was only a select few who had the privilege to walk its paths, climb • its rocks and admire its beauty. X L Fortunately, by being enrolled at James Madison University, one 1 could visit this natural wonder- T[ 1 1 k | land daily. This place, which V Li t4. «4. could easily be taken for granted, was known as the Quad. Day after day, students used the quad for a number of purposes. At any given time, one could sense the fun importance of the quad just by watching the various activities that took place there. Some chose the quad rather than their rooms for a quick nap, while others opted for a more active time playing football or throwing a frisbee. The flat grassy mall was also a favorite for last minute cramming sessions just be- fore class in Harrison or Jackson. Whatever the activity, there was always room on the quad. Walking through the quad gave visitors a taste of all that comprised JMU ' s uniqueness. From the beauty of the bordering flowers along the edges of the charming Bluestones to the campus unity displayed by students talking, laughing, playing and studying, the center of campus remained the hot spot for students to enjoy the weather and a leisure moment. -Daryl Pigat BEST FRIENDS Steve VanDam explains to his dog that it is supposed to fetch the stick when he throws it. The quad served as a great play ground for students ' pets. - The Quad
