New Changes i I -v: The more things changed, the more they stayed the same. Tradition was something that none could do without. We still had fun the old-fashioned way. Reddish Knob remained the favorite spot to watch the magnificent tints of sunset. And we still splashed in the icy waters of Blue Hole, Green Hole, Union Springs and Switzer Dam to relieve the heat. Greek organizations showed off their talents in competitive events such as Greek Sing in the spring and the Home- coming Block Show in the fall. The Com- mons was also a great place for talented students to get campus- wide exposure. Bands like Uncle Charlie, Johnnie ' s Heri- tage, Full Stop, After Five and Everything drew large crowds there. The JMU tradition was alive and well as athletic events experienced a rebirth of spirit. The football and women ' s soccer teams were nationally ranked, and the men ' s basketball team rose to play oppo- nents such as UNLV, Georgia Tech and Brigham Young University. The university grew as a whole while we all grew as individuals. College was a time to gain perspective while still focusing on our developing goals. .«; ■ • ' ' - ■WR- As the setting sun peaks through the limbs of a weeping willow, a couple watches the rays reflect off Newman Lake.
