To Really Know A Friend You Need To Meet Their it -Nicole Bowlin, senior The weather was beautiful as parents of JMU students arrived at the university to celebrate Parents Weekend. The weekend was some parents ' first visit with their children since students left for school during the summer. Football games, cookouts and pampering marked the weekend as students enjoyed the familiarity of home and family once again. Many organiza- tions invited parents to brunches and other wel- coming activities to fa- miliarize them with the offerings of the univer- sity. The Black Stu- dent Alliance had a table set up on Godwin Field to sell t-shirts and answer parent ' s ques- tions about their orga- nization. We wanted to get out and let people know that we are an approachable group, said BSA Treasurer Stephanie Scates. Our group is like an umbrella — we try to bring together and enhance the black population and let them know that we are here if they have any ques- tions or problems. Amy Algire and her father spent time celebrating Parents Weekend with Algire ' s time with my dad, she said. We didn ' t stay on campus much though. We did stuff in town and even went to the book fair. The Green Valley Book Fair, held during Par- ents Weekend, was a good chance for stu- dents to share a unique part of life in Harrisonburg with their parents. Some students explored downtown Harrisonburg with their families. Others took trips to Valley Mall or Wal-Mart to buy no-longer-affordable luxuries such as food. Michaela Fux said her mom comes to Parents Weekend every year. I love it be- cause I never get to go home, she said. She pays every year, and she said this year I had to pay so it really was a Parents weekend: it sorority, Delta Gamma. I really had a great was her weekend. -Jennifer Carroll i i 28 Student Life
