Hani Hong ASSISTANT EDITOR Valerie Leighton Life at JMU encompassed a world o opportunity, growth, and diversity TT ■ime after time, students learned to adapt to their new surroundings at James Madison. With the ftquent changes, students were exposed to more opportunities and insights around campus. New • ganizations formed such as the Muslim Coalition and Kappa Alpha Order Fraternity. New academic options emerged with the completion of the College of Integrated Science and Technology Department. Along with academics and organizations, JMU offered a vast amount of cultural and educational activities. The Furious Flower convention allowed students to encounter African American poets such as Nikki Giovanni and Gwendolyn Brooks. Another aspect of student life not to be neglected were the friendships that developed due to the various college experiences. Together, students made the years spent in college exciting and memorable. With a student body of approximately 11,500, students entered a world of diversity. Differences in culture, beliefs, and goals helped students to realize the necessit) ' of an open mind. As students , we worked diligently to meet our full potential and faced new challenges face to face. We learned to take advantage of experiences at JMU in order to prepare ourselves for future endeavors. Features Divider 15

i Diploma in Hand 1 hnt should have been the happiest V l ' ' ' f ' ' • - ' ' ege students V V turned out to be a dismal rainy day for the class of 1994. May graduation took place on a cool, gray day as the seniors of James Madison University received their diplomas. Seniors tried to keep their spirits high by decorating the tops of their caps with identifying slogans. One senior ' s read, Hell Froze while others thanked their parents, displayed their Greek letters or said hi to friends. Seniors Amity Dejong, Christy Sander and Danielle Liquori proudly put daisies on their easily identified caps. The sea of umbrellas and the crowds of people attacked the campus with a vengeance. The search for rain gear led some seniors to bring trash bags to use as protection of the rain. The ceremony began in Bridgeforth Sta- dium v ' here the seniors sat, umbrella-less, while Senator John Warner made his short speech. He stood up, admitted that there were times when politicians should be seen and not heard, congratu- lated the graduates and quickly took his seat amidst thundering applause. When the ceremonv broke up to the satel- lite locations, each College moved to a different site. The College of Letters and Sciences had the privi- lege of staying in the rain at the stadium while the Colleges of Psvchologv and Education moved to the equally rainy Quad area. All other Colleges moved inside to various places including the Con- vocation Center, Godwin Hall and Wilson Hall. Junior Rebecca Andrewsstated that though Graduation was fun, it better not rain next year! Nothing could dampen the spirits of the class of 1994 as they hit the real world after their years at JMU. Graduate Jen Howard enjoyed her gradua- tion ceremony, but wished that the hordes of rela- tives would have left earlier so she could visit with friends. My apartment was full of Aunts and Uncles wishing us well; it was crazy! The seniors of JMU had a rainy day as their last, but it was full of smiles, happiness and for some, relief. — Malia Bell— I couldn ' t have asked for more fun for graduation than the rain!
