perfect a life custom-made for individuals JMU allows you to be you. It ' s a school for people who, for the most part, remain un- concerned with labels, bank accounts and what make and model car you drive. This type of positive environment has its in- fluence on the student body as a whole and as individuals. When we are accepted for who we are, we grow; we find the best in our- selves by being given the chance to explore. We mature both in- tellectually and emo- tionally through our ex- periences with fellow students who are not like us. Being exposed to students from differ- ent walks of life opens our minds and teaches us the value of other viewpoints. Have you matured since you ' ve started at JMU } I like the fact that I ' ve got- ten to know a big group of people from a lot of dif- ferent environments.

What were you in the mood for? Christina Borden navigates AZT ' s entry In ttie Keg Float on Newman Lake. Ttie event was part of Greek Week actlvltes. If you said rest, relax- ation and most impor- tantly, some fun, you were at the right school. There were lots of students with whom you could identify. Breaking the tension with a pitcher at JM ' s and few laughs was one campus tradition. Keeping our spirits up was not a hard stretch Garcia by any means — JMU students were easy to please and always seemed to possess a lot of energy. Most students were able to pursue their in- dividual interests and hobbies with relative ease. In fact, it seemed so simple at times to fall in with a group of fellow stu- dents who shared our taste in R R. The high number of weekend camping trips, hikes, trips to the blue hole, friendly games of ten- nis or basketball, trips to the Valley Mall and movie expeditions told the whole story. stork April Fogg enjoys eating outside at Dukes.
