Then I remembered the summer is oyer and I ' m at Madison College. On the way to breakfast I watched the sun wake up the gray buildings with their red roofs. Here in the valley the leaves have already started to turn, and the whole campus seemed to stretch to meet the morning. All day long the Hi ' s and Hey ' s have echoed across the quadrangle, and the friendliness makes one feel good in- side. Madison is wonderful -- I only hope that I don ' t wake up tomorrow morning and fmd that it really is just a dream. -Excerpt from the 1949 Bluestone %% m •m ' mtm - «W i.4 ym 12-1 nitiate Opening- 13 ' t: ■-sas A U. FLOURISH From the 1927 May Queen and Her Court to today ' s Mr. and Ms. Madi- son, the university has seen a number of changes. Since it was founded in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women, our school has flourished into a coeducational Hberal arts university with over 12,000 stu- dents. In 1977, Madison College was renamed James Madison University under President Ronald E. Carrier and has since made a name for itself nationally. Student life has changed with the university as athletics, enter- tainment and extracurricular activities have created an atmosphere of tradi- tion combined with innovation. Whether we were working out at the Uni- versity Recreation Center, enjoying a concert at the Convo or running to a meeting, the increased amenities of recent years have made our college years more than just homework. c ' SRachel ' Moswal EDITOR cs Eeah f l CJj alley ASSISTANT EDITOR Features Divider - 15 poking ' AHEAD With mixed emotions ranging from nostalgia and sadness to excitement and elation, the Class of 1996 received their diplo- mas in front ol the proud taccs ot tamil ' and friends. With diplomas in hand, the newest Madison alumni brought an end to their ears at JAIU and began the next phase of their lives. I was so excited that I was finaU) ' graduating but I was also a littie apprehensi ' e about going out into the world, said graduate Laura Solomon. I decided, though, that I wasn ' t going to think about that because I was ha ing such a great time with all mv friends. Storm clouds and rains plagued the ceremon but that didn ' t dampen the festive atmosphere. Excited graduates donned their caps with messages and s}Tnbols representative of their college vears. Beach balls, balloons and toilet paper streamed through the air as guest speakers congratulated the students. Camera flashes popped from all directions as the tassels turned and diplomas were distributed. It was supposed to be a serious and dignified event, said graduate Alicia Mellman, but all the seniors just wanted to celebrate and have a good time. After the main ceremony in Bridgeforth Stadium, students divided into smaller ceremonies held bv the different colleges within the uni ' ersit ' . Ceremonies were held aU over campus, including on the Quad and in the Convocation Cen- ter. At these smaller, more intimate ceremonies, graduates walked across the stage as their names were announced. After the satellite ceremonies, tailgating, celebrations and barbecoies popped up all around the cit} ' as the graduation festivities continued throughout the day. Ever one was talking about long-term plans, jobs and tra ' eling, said graduate Ryan Netzer. All I could think about was the immediate flimre and having a great time dur- ing my last few davs at JMU. Graduate Ryan Sullivan said, I had worked hard for the last few years and it was now time for me to take a break from everrthing and see America. Madison taught me a lot about life and people and I think that with this diploma, I ' m ready to begin my new life. so e ted tfiatlzvas jinaSij graduating But I was also adttk apprefiensive aboutgoing into the world ' ' BY SONALDUTT 16 - Flourish c ik nticipating the coming downpour, thoii- A Siinds ot parents till Bridgeforth Stadium - - tor the graduation of the Chss of 96.

Whether it was 11 at night or 3 in the morning, students could always be found hang- ing out there.

Theme parties were great variations of the week] parr ' routine. 18 - Flourish J With all of the unique and stimulating entertainment options that JMU and the surrounding community offered students, nightlife was never at a standstUl. Activities ranged from par- tying on The Row to watching a movie among a rowdy audi- ence at Grafton-StovaU Theatre. For those of legal drinking age, the loss of JM ' s Bar and Grill ' s liquor license was a huge letdown; however, many students found The Office, Dave ' s Taverna (formerly Gus ' s) and The Blue Foxx Cafe to be favorable alternatives. Thanks to locales like these, students such as senior Kim Baccari were not so heartbroken about JM ' s transformation. I think that The Blue Foxx has a lot better atmosphere [than JM ' s] because you can have the social aspect of sitting at tables and talking or you can get up and dance, Baccari said. Those looking for a good drink and a good meal often found themselves headed towards the Boston Beanery, Ruby Tuesday ' s or the infamous Spanky ' s. Chili ' s and J. WUloby ' s Roadhouse were the newest editions to Harrisonburg ' s array of casual, low-priced dining options. Senior Craig Sell enjoyed J. Willoby ' s with its peanut shell-covered floors because it had real good food with a great selection of beer! Although restaurants and bars were favored by many students, others attended parties on Greek Row and off cam- pus. Students such as junior Mike Mateli preferred off-cam- pus parties to fraternity parties because they are open to ev- eryone, and you can always find people you know. Socialites who liked to dance the night away and meet new people in a less intimate setting favored The Row; however, with practi- cally everything within walking distance, party hopping was common. Some students opted to relax on the weekends. With its extra large sofas and mellow music. The Artflil Dodger was a popular place to hang out and take in the atmosphere. Ac- cording to junior Sama rth Maheshwari, this coffeehouse is like an oasis in this desert we call Harrisonburg. Whereas most entertainment in Harrisonburg has a small-town aura, Maheshwari said he likes the Artful Dodger for its big city feel. Most students found similar attachments to the many nightlife activities. When it came to nightlife, students found their ozun ' ' oasis in the desert ofO-Carri- sonSurg. ' ' BY AUDRA FRAUNFELDER Nightlife 19 V us Tfespite the rain and clouds, pride zvas abound as students shared their school fives zuith parents. Despite the rainv weather, students and their parents enjoyed all of the acti ' ities planned for Parents Weekend. The Godwin Field Festival presented an array of merchandise for students and their parents to purchase. Freshman Nicole Sansini said she enjoyed browsing through e ' er) ' thing the festival offered. They had all sorts of thing like clothes and jewelr) ' , Sansini said. The football game at Bridgefoth Stadium on Saturd.u afternoon was also a popular event. Even the pouring rain did not dampen the crowd ' s spirit. That night, the School of Music presented the Pops Concert, which included the Symphon Orchestra, The Madisonians and the Jazz Ensemble, with guest artist Joe Kenned} ' , at the Convocation Center. Many students gave their parents personalized tours of campus. Sophomore Kendra May said, I showed my parents where I have classes and where I spend my time. They were re- ally impressed by the new Universit) ' Recreation Center. Freshman Ryan Havnes also gave his family a tour ot the campus. It was m ' grandmother ' s first time here, so I showed them a little bit of everything, Haynes said. Haynes ' family only spent the day on Saturday because the closest hotel they could find was an hour from campus. Many organizations, fraternities and sororities invited parents to luncheons and activities. Sophomore Lisa D ' Arciernn took her father and her brothers to her sororit)-. Delta Gamma. We had a really great time at the luncheon, and I had fun intro- ducing my dad to ever} ' one, ' ' D ' . rcierno said. Students also took the opportunity to go shopping while their parents visited. Wal-Mart, along with the rest of the Valle ' Mall, was buzzing with families picking up those last few neces- sities for students ' rooms and apartments. Due to the influx of fi-eshmen this year, an additional Parents Day was held Nov.2, primarily for the parents of fresh- men. Many freshman, however, saw this as an opportunity for their parents to visit twice during the semester.

At college, many upperclass- men love to talk about their summer experiences as in- terns. One of the most valuable parts of a college educa- tion, internships provide practical training, useful contacts and often unforgettable hving experiences. Getting an internship can be a source of stress for some students, but planning and persistence together with a little luck wiU often prove rewarding. Junior media writ- ing major Shannon Ballard remembers, When I contacted the Olympic Authority in Lake Placid, N.Y. and found out there were internships available, I sent them my quah- fications and kept after them until I got an interview and eventually the internship. Because it was an election year, some students looked into internships in government-related areas. Se- nior art major Evan Cantwell worked on Capitol HUl for part of the summer. Although a democrat, he worked un- der Republican Congressman Todd Tiahart of Kansas. Cantwell said that he worked for his opposing part} ' to get a basic idea of how things are run on that level of gov- ernment. Some lucky students stumbled across great intern- ship opportunities. Senior Karla Esleeck, an electronic media production major, sent her resume to the intern co- ordinator at MTV and went through several interviews. She spent the summer working in their production de- partment on a new-format show called Unfiltered. Be- tween living in New York City, a learning experience in itself for the southern Virginian, and rubbing elbows with MTV personalities, she admits, It was the best experi- ence I could ha ' e had during mv summer! The experiences gained through internships have proved invaluable for a number of students who have been able to line up jobs that will be waiting for them after gradu- ation.

You probably don ' t want to: their awesome sound and intricate marching maneuvers make the halt-time presenta- tion exciting and entertaining. This year the Marching Royal Dukes performed to a series of thematic shows in celebration of their 25th anniver- sary. To obser ' e this momentous event, the MRDs performed the music of Star Wars, The Sound of Music, JMU ' s Great- est Hits (a collection of the MRD ' s greatest hits), and selec- tions from Independence Day, The Wiz and The Blues Broth- ers. When asked about this year ' s shows, drum major J.R. Snow said, This ear is a special ■ear because all the shows are so dynamic. Being the 25th year, everything is so much fun and very exciting. One of the largest groups on campus, the MRDs con- sisted of 388 individuals. Two years ago, Dr. Pat Rooney, di- rector ot the MRDs, decided to expand from 200 members to the current number because of increased enrollment at JMU. The band itself has a great reputation among coUege bands. It ' s amazing how many students come to this school just for the band, Rooney said. Although the marching band was such a large group, it stLU worked as a cohesive unit. Friendships evolved quickl ' as a result of the long practices before performances. Fresh- men MRDs found that being part of the band enabled them to make friends at JMU before classes even started. I feel that I ' ve been able to meet a lot of different people through marching band, freshman Cor ' Prout said. In addition to performing at home football games, the Marching Royal Dukes performed at the Universit ' of Delaware vs. JMU away game and the Mount Vernon High School Band competition for exhibition as well as for playoff games at the end of the season. Another highlight of the MRDs ' season was Parade of Champions, a high school marching band competition held annually over Fall Break. Freshman color guard member Cheryl Sule said, If it wasn ' t for band, I wouldn ' t be here at JMU. It ' s no wonder people are aaxious to be a part of this successfiil and enter- taining group. the 25th year, thesfioziJs are so dynamic and everything is so machfun and very exciting.

The bands and beer trucks highlighted the afternoon. 26 - Flourish pissing —I- OUT After four long years of quizzes, exams and papers, gradu- ating seniors were ready to end their college careers in style. And for students aged 21-23, what better way to celebrate than with a party sponsored by the university? Complete with free food and drink, well-known local bands and great weather, the Senior Pig Roast was one of the most talked-about events on campus. For years we ' ve heard about the Pig Roast but I was never able to go, said Kelly Meyers. It was defi- nitely worth the wait. We had a great time. Originally scheduled for Reading Day, the Pig Roast was rescheduled due to the make-up classes held that day and took place on the Saturday before finals in- stead. The change in dates didn ' t phase the students who were eager to enjoy their last few days of college. It could have been held on Reading Day and the turnout would have been the same, 1996 graduate Andy Lane said. The Senior Pig Roast signified an end to a four- and, for some, five- year college career at JMU. The fes- tivities began at 1 p.m. and lasted until 5 p.m. when stu- dents dispersed and moved on to smaller, more intimate parties to celebrate their final week as college students. The rain clouds that had plagued the campus ear- lier in the week cleared out for the day, attracting even more students. Blankets and lawn chairs covered Godwin Field. The bands Manute Sol and Happy Van Gogh en- tertained the crowd of 1,200 that gathered on the grassy area. Admission to the Pig Roast was S5 per person and the SGA raised a total of $6,000 from the event. I almost didn ' t go, but I decided to at the last minute and it was one ot the most fun times I ' ve had in school. There were people there that I hadn ' t seen since freshman and sophomore years, people I ' d forgotten about almost. It was so much more tun than I expected -- ev- eryone was there.

' Whether it was someone reading on a bench, sleeping on the grass or just biking through, students and facult) ' could al- ways be found on the Quad. Wh) ' was this large, grassy area so popular? It ' s a nice, quiet place to relax and study with few distractions, said freshman Lauren DePetris, who often went to the Quad to escape chaotic dorm life. For many students, the Quad offered a sense of se- renir ' . From Kissing Rock to all the trees and benches scat- tered around, the Quad invited people to sit and collect their thoughts. I can sit out here and read or do whatever I want and run into people. I love that it is so peacefiil, said sopho- more Maria Cocoros. Not only was the Quad a great place to sit and loaf around, it was also the scene ot a number ot events through- out the year. During early fall and late spring, classes often met under the trees on Kissing Rock or at the foot of the steps to Wilson Hall. Before winter break, the Holiday Tree was displayed at the top of the Quad. The Quad was also a prime location for snowball fights in the winter and the Battle of the Bands in the spring. During the storm on Sept. 6, students took advan- tage of the conditions on the Quad as they slid around wear- ing garbage bags in the rain. The Quad was alwa} ' s a place for students to retreat when they had some free time. It ' s nice being outside in the fresh air with trees all around, said sophomore Sara Methany. It ' s pretty. I also enjoy watching people walk by, even if some- times it ' s a litde distracting. Junior Sarah Whitney explained, Being able to hang out on the Quad and enjoy the ftin, social scene on a beauti- ful day is something I will always treasure. Students weren ' t the only ones who appreciated what the Quad had to offer. Facultv ' and administation members were often seen eating lunch or grading papers around the Quad when the weather is favorable. Any time of year, the Quad served the community in all respects. BY ELIZA COPELAN 28 - Flourish Taking advantage of the great weather, some students put together a quick, game of volleyball. On sunny days and week- ends, football, Frisbee and even soccer games took place on the Quad.

One of this year ' s additions was the University Recreation Center, a 14,000-square-foot facil- ity that replaced the Godwin Wellness Center in September. Located on the new CISAT campus across Interstate 81, UREC officially opened its doors at 6:30 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 2. By 8 a.m., nearly 200 people had taken advantage of the new center. Senior Tina Humbertson, one of the first students to work out on opening day, was impressed by the size of the building as well as the state-of-the-art equipment. This is so much nicer than Godvnn, she said. More room, more ma- chines, and the hours are great. Humbertson was not alone in her praise of the new center which serves as the home of all JMU recreational pro- gramming including aerobics, intramurals, aquatics and out- door adventure programs. I was skeptical at first since there was no g) ' m on campus when school started, said junior Josh Lyons. But now that it ' s open, I go almost everyday. I especially like the guest policy. Under the UREC guest policy, students and faculty ' members could bring their spouses and immediate famil ' , free of charge. Students also had the option ot bringing friends for S3. In addition to the improved guest policy, students were also impressed with the cardio-fitness area as well as with the various levels of aerobics offered, the 25 meter x 25 yard swim- ming pool, the eight racquetball courts and the indoor track which overlooks the basketball court. UREC also offered wa- ter-aerobics classes once the pool opened; there were e ' en movies presented in the pool area that students could watch while floating around in inflatable tubes. Although some of the on-campus expansion caused distress for students and taculr ' , L REC was a welcome change that was eagerly anticipated and accepted h ne;irh- the entire JMU community. that it ' s open, I JO ahnost every day.

This year the competitions ranged from boat races across Newman Lake to tug-ot-war. These games gave each sorority and fraternit} ' that participated a chance to show their spirit and enthusiasm. Although the groups were competing against one another, thcv all had the com- mon goals of raising money for the Make-a-Wish Foun- dation and enjoying themselves in the process. One of the most anticipated competitions of Greek Week was Greek Sing. Each participating soror- ir ' and fraternit}- performed a skit that consisted of lip- synching, singing and dancing. At the end of the night, a panel of judges chose Sigma Sigma Sigma as t he top fin- ishing sororir ' and Alpha Kappa Lambda as the first-place fraternit} ' . Sophomore Julie Areglado said, It was great to see what ideas everyone else had come up with and were working on all week. There were some really funny and creative performances. Greek Week concluded on Greek Row with bar- becues and bands sponsored by many of the fraternities that hved there. This event was enjoyed not only by the Greeks themselves, but by other students as well. Greek Week was a chance for all ot the sororities and fraternities to get together for a week and in one big group. Non- Greeks also got involved during the week, gi ' ing them a chance to see what Greek life is really like, said Sigma Alpha Epsilon members, James McLay and Brian Rudd. After tallying up the week ' s points, the top win- ner for the sororities was Alpha Sigma Tau, and Sigma Alph a EpsUon acquired the most points for the fraterni- ties. Although these two organizations were the overall winners of the week, each sorority and fraternity had its own ' ictories, the greatest accomplishment being the uni- fication of the Greek communif ' to help raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Students came out in the late hours on Monday, Oct. 14 to commemorate the beginning of the basketball season. eing A DUKE What do trains, rains and automobiles have in common? All three, among other things, are characteristic of JMU. Our school has come a long way since the annual crowning of the May Queen and her court in 1908. Whether getting drenched with sudden rains from sunny skies, hanging out on the Quad or partying on the Row, students soon learned what being a Duke really meant. AU students were stuck at some point, waiting for the train to pass so they could cross over the tracks. Once the wait was over, the endless trek up the stairs began. The train passing through campus and the infamous flight of wooden stairs are just some of the characteristics that set JMU apart from other universities. Aside from architectural chracteristics, there were a num- ber of traditions and events that kept students feeling at home during their years at JMU. Midnight Madness, which took place on Oct. 14, 1996, celebrated the 25th season of the event which coach Lefty Driesel originated at the University of Maryland. Smdents as well as faculty members helped kick off the 1996- 1997 basketball season for the Dukes. Midnight Madness was held at the Convocation Center, and the first 200 fans to show up received free T-shirts commemorating the event. From hiking on Skyline Drive to attending concerts at the Convo, students found numerous ways to identify themselves with JMU. The Marching Royal Dukes provided a sense of tradi- tion at football games with their well-known cheers and the tuba section ' s crazy antics on the sidelines. Duke Dog played along with the MRDs throughout the games. Besides sporting events at Bridgefordi and the Convo, many groups made themselves known to the JIN ' IU commun!t ' bv holding fiind-raisers and promotions on the Commons. Greeks and organizations handed out flyers and pamphlets to passersbv and raised money with themes from Ugliest on Campus, a charir ' sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega for the Make-a-Wish Founda- tion, to Camp He;irtland raising funds for children with AIDS. The Ugliest on Ciunpus fi.ind-raiser is a wa ' for tlie whole community to get involved and have frin while still helping a pro- gram as important as the Make-a-Wish Foundation, said senior Heather Griftths, the tiindraising chairperson for Alpha Phi Omega.

Because Homecoming is such a popular annual event at JMU, the parking lots filled quickly and hotel signs all over read No Vacancy as the spirit traveled throughout campus. The weekend began on Thursday, Oct. 3 with MasterCard ACTS, a competitive student talent show spon- sored by MasterCard and the Universit} ' Program Board.

After four years of high school, everyone has memo- rized the dos and don ' ts of fashion, and students all know that trends stick around for a whUe, die out and return a few years later. But keeping up with the latest styles in college is based on individual taste. Sophomore Nate McMichael said, JMU has changed a lot the past couple of years. The more you look around, the more individual people you see. From silky crop tops to plaid flannels, from short skirts with knee-high tights to corduroy overalls, from muscle |S; ' Vji T-shirts to band-collared dress shirts, the fabrics and colors of JMU ' s walkways are constantly changing. This year ' s gotten more conservative than last year, which was more retro, junior Glennon Doyle said. A fasion merchandising minor, Doyle said, JMU has a lot of diver- sity as opposed to the University of Virginia where every girl wears a sundress. Sophomore Joanne Garofala disagreed. Everyone conforms here; you definitely see J. Crew styles on both men and women . Although Harrisonburg doesn ' t have as many shop- ping options as larger cities. Valley Mall is a popular place to pick up necessary attire. Whether it ' s a new pair ot shoes, silky boxers or an outfit for Friday night ' s party, fashions are available to searching students. The clothing industry, however, definitely caters to women. Dr. Ruth Shelton, professor ot marketing, said, Women have a very keen interest in clothing. Men do too, but women spend more. McN ' Iichael expressed a similar opinion. My friends and I couldn ' t care less about tashion, he said. JMU stu- dents aren ' t preppy, just casual.

Freshman Ryan Brown said, At first I was worried about living in a hotel, but it ' s actualh been a lot of ftin. I ' d much rather live there than in an on- campus dorm. The new flow of students also hastened the con- struction of a new residence haU next to the ISAT building and led to the ehmination of campus RO. boxes for off- campus students, a change that was unwelcome by most. A number of general changes were made to improve on-campus living, including the return of Amigo ' s and the addition of Market One, which added more varien- to the dining choices available to students. Construction of the University Recreation Center across Interstate 81 was a main topic for the fall. Many stu- dents considered the new lacilit} ' nice enough to be a coun- try club, but without the inconvenience of an expensive mem- bership: all students were admitted at no charge with the presentation ot their JAC cards. Instead of tving up the VAX lines, students were able to access their mail direcdv through Simeon, a new svs- tem that was installed over the summer. At first many stu dents had trouble adjusting to the new system, but it was a definite improvement over last year ' s overcrowded system. The removal of the crosswalk across South Main Street to Anthony-Seeger HaU was one of the more contro- versial changes on campus. Sophomores Kari Hoy and Erica Crane didn ' t understand why the crosswalk was removed. We don ' t know why they wasted the time and money to take it down. People are still crossing where it used to be anyway. Each new year inevitably brings changes with the intent to improve the campus environment.

As an orientation assistant, sophomore Kate Springer enjoyed watching the incoming freshmen inter- act with one another. Their JMU spirit was building even before they truly began their lives here on campus, she said. But enthusiasm doesn ' t disappear after fresh- man year. Sophomore Denise Seipel noticed that spirit is evident even in the flower gardens. We are all surrounded by purple and gold. It ' s even in the flowers! Attending sporting events was a primary evening and weekend activity. Sherry Montgomery said, When I go to the football games, I can feel the spirit in the air. Some people wear hats to show their school spirit while others paint their bodies in purple and gold. In addition to the competitive spirit of the ath- letes, the Dukettes, cheerleaders, Marching Royal Dukes and pep band all generated enthusiasm from the fans. Duke Dog ' s wild antics also helped to psyche up the crowd.

Campus religious groups have made names for themselves at JMU through weekly meetings, prayer sessions, peer groups, seminars and worhsip services. From the Baptist Student Union to InterVarsit ' to the Muslim Coalition, faith is a fact of life at JMU. Senior Dave Grulke said, I think religion is prett open in the sense that it ' s not difficult to worship on campu or practice through organizations like CCM or Presb)teriaii Campus Ministrv. Although Grulke, like most students, doesn ' t feci threatened b - others ' religious beliefs, many students belie c the diversit} ' at JMU could be better. May 1996 graduate Amy Pell said she went to a couple ot dilterent meetings during her four vears at JMU and also took part in classroom discussions about religion. The atmosphere in class isn ' t like, You have to believe this; ' it ' s more about, ' This is what believe. ' she said. Senior Rachel Lark had a contradictor) ' experience in a philosophy class. I used the Bible to back up my argu- ment, and the class went off on me, she said. Although there isn ' t too much debate in Dr. Grace Burford ' s Religion 101 class, she said college students arc definitely challenged. Students should keep an open mind because discussions can go too far either way, she said. It ' s all about balance. Religion and philosophy classes are part of the core curriculum forJAlU ' s general education requirements. Fresh- man iAllison Williams said she thinks it ' s a good idea because you get another viewpoint. Some students, however, think a religion course should be an option rather than a require- ment. Junior Mark Saw) ' er said, Religion shouldn ' t be re- quired because we live in America; it goes against our prin- ciples. Whether or not religion is part of even, ' student ' s personal life, campus religious groups at JMU are heard, and faith does make a statement. As Dr. Burford said, Students take religion seriously.

Those who have been there realize that it is a place like no other on the campus. Zirkle House consists of several galleries which display student artwork. There are three main galleries: The Artworks Gallery, The Other Gallery and The New Image Gallery. This year the first two galleries consisted of student paintings and sculptures, while The New Image Gallery displayed the photography of visiting scholars. Anyone interested in showing art work had to go through a review process at the end of a semester. A student committee evaluated the work and decided whether or not artists would have their work shown. Fred Struckholtz said, I was rejected after my first review process, but then I got a show after my second. I think that they look for uniform, consistent work which carries a main theme. My second samples seem to be more of what thev were looking for. An opportunit} ' for students to direct and organize Zirkle House was available every semester. Student director Jessica Brunow said, It ' s a two-semester commitment. A person has to be the assistant director for a semester, which earns two credits, and then the assistant director moves up to the director position for the following semester, which earns three credits. The shows lasted for two weeks and were open for anyone to come in and look around. One show featured papermakings by Michelle Benedict, who said, I especiallv liked this show on papermaking because it was hands on. People can look at it, and it is also tactUe. I also like for people to get what they can out of my art without my telling them too much, and I think papermaking gives them the chance to make their own conclusions. Brunow said, When we choose the art we show, we look at what will show well together and often get interest- ing results. The results kept students returning to Zirkle House to discover the talents of JMU ' s artists.

Many students followed their hearts when they made the decision to live in a house. Houses provided students not only vnth shelter, but also a place to call their own and share among friends. Each house took on the characteristics of its owners, and together they made it through events from stormy weather to raging parties. Finding an affordable and covenient place to reside dur- ing the school year can be difficult. A house is an affordable option, allows a large number of people to room together and is often located near campus. Instead of being cramped up in a residence hall or apartment, most houses gave students more space. Houses also provided students with a greater feeling of freedom regarding guidelines for decoration and noise. To make a house unique many students chose to name the house in which they resided. Traditional residences include the Graffiti, Punk, Funk, Gingerbread, Out, Welcome, Tree, Green and Spaghetti houses as well as those belonging to Greeks. Because each original name is instantly recognized around campus, these houses are easy to find. Smdents often went to these houses to hang out with friends, have a good time and just chill. Junior Mike Thomas said, I really like living in a house that ' s in a neighborhood with other students, because we can hang out and stiU be independent. Thomas lived in a house with friends on West Market Street in Harrisonburg. Some houses are located closer to campus than Thomas ' s.

Many activities on campus took place during the scorching summer days. Orientation assistants and other sum- mer staff members braved the hot weather while preparing freshmen and transfer students for their approaching years at college. Summer session students were fortunate enough to be housed in air-conditioned residence halls which pro ided some relief from the heat. When students arrived in late August, the summer heat was still in Ml blaze. Move-in days were complicated by the warm temperatures, and, as most residence halls were not equipped with air-conditioning, residents of Wampler and the Hillside Halls became the objects of much envy. In mid-September, the campus became a water ride during the flood that resulted from Hurricane Fran. While even ' one was excited that classes were canceled due to the sudden natural disaster, many students were troubled with damage done to their cars or houses. The flooding was inconvenient for many who needed to get places, but students also spent time splash- ing in the deep puddles. The cool winds of the tall also brought forth a new view of the campus.

Among the most talked-about per- formers who came to JMU were A Tribe Called Quest, Patrv Loveless and Lone Star, Ani DiFranco and Rusted Root. Concerts were arranged and presented by organizations such as the University Program Board, the Center for Multicultural Student Services and WXJM according to who students ex- pressed an interest in seeing. Countn ' music tans enjoved the sounds ot Patt ' Love- less and opening band Lone Star, who performed at the Con- vocation Center on Nov. 17. Party Loveless continued her tradition as one of the leading ladies of countn ' music, sopho- more Laura Thacher said. She kept the audience on its teet during the fast songs and showed her sincerity through her slow songs. Other types of music were also featured over the course of the year. That same weekend, Ani DiFranco played for an excited crowd in Wilson Hall forWXJM ' s first sold-out con- cert. When asked for her opinion of the concert, junior Mar ' catherine Smith quoted one of DiFranco ' s s ongs and said, I am 32 tlavors and then some — that ' s all I have to say.

Concerts ' 63 ( elebratin EARLY The turning of the leaves and the chill in the air indicate the beginning of autumn for many people. For sports fans, how- ever, the changing season signifies the beginning of football season. Although some enjoyed watching the game from the comfort of their own recliner, many took advantage of the season to enjov the good weather and the company ot friends in a pre-game celebration. Tailgating became a ritual as asso- ciated with football as hot dogs and cheerleaders. It is a lot of fun to hang out with your friends before the game actually starts, said sophomore Jessica Dowd . Sometimes the tailgate is more tun than the actual game. Homecoming and Parents Weekends brought out the largest crowds for tailgating. Tables, grills and food covered the fields adjacent to the stadium. Purple and gold banner displaying spirit and support flew from every car passing though campus. I always look forward to Homecoming because it gives me a chance to catch up with my friends who have gradu- ated, said junior Amy Springfloat. And what better place to do that than at a tailgate? Despite rain clouds hovering over campus during Par- ents Weekend, faithful Dukes fans still managed to enjoy them- seh ' es. The Godwin Fieldfest, the largest tailgate party in the Valley, offered live music, food and company for those die- hard tailgaters. I really enjoyed showing my parents around campus and taking them to the Fieldfest, said freshman Jeff Morris. We had a lot of fijn together. The sun shone brightly on alumni and students out on Homecoming weekend, coaxing even more people outside to enjoy the weather and company. The car was jamming and there were people all over campus just enjoying the weekend and each other ' s company, said senior Am ' Feezor.

Concert tickets were also often available there. 66 - Flourish raving THE ' BURG Many JMU students do not realize that the city of Harrisonburg is filled with unique locales and hidden nooks that complement JMU. However, with a litde searching and disposing of stereotypes, students found a whole other world outside of JMU ' s walls. Reddish Knob is less than an hour outside of Harrisonburg. Not only is the view spectacular there, but ev- eryone was allowed free access. Novice stargazer junior Kelly Jensen went to Reddish Knob last year in search of a comet. It ' s a cool place to go to watch the stars, she said. You can see for mUes around. Massanutten resort and ski area was another favorite escape from the pressures of schoolwork. Chad O ' Neil fre- quented Massanutten on Monday Cheap Ski Nights simply because it was a good place to go when you ' re short on dough. Within walking distance from campus, the Arbore- tum provided a nice getaway for nature lovers who did not feel like traveling far or who did not have cars. Students could lounge by the pond with a significant other or trek on the mulch-laden trails. An intriguing part of JMU ' s surroundings was the downtown area. Junior Heather Ruhlmann described it as a place with a lot of Mom and Pop shops. She telt that this enabled students to get a better feel for the town. One of these locales was Kline ' s Dairy Bar. Deep in the heart of Harrisonburg, Kline ' s provided a good, inexpensive, mid-week break from studying, said junior Dave} ' Ahearn. More audacious spirits hunted down places such as Jess ' s Quick Lunch, the Little GriU and the American Indian Cafe, all situated in or near downtown Harrisonburg. Junior Kris Anderson described Jess ' s Quick Lunch as a neat, old- fashioned southern lunch counter with traditional greas ' food. I go there when I ' m sick of fast food and I don ' t want to wait to get served, he said. Junior Jon Herbst was a fan of the American Indian Cafe because there is such a warm atmo- sphere and the tood is wonderful; it ' s also ' en ' chill.

Some went home to visit their families, some went on vacation w ith friends and some stayed in the ' Burg. Wherever they went, students agreed that the ' needed to take a break. Many students returned home to be with their fami- lies and high school buddies. Sophomore Jason Inman vis- ited his mom in Richmond. She moved there after I gradu- ated high school, so I didn ' t know anyone there. I had a good time, though — I t -ped an essay, but when I returned to school, I found that I had left it at home and had to have my mom fax it to me! Although the weather in Virginia was not as warm as it usually is, students were glad to have the vacation from classes. It re-energized me! said Karla Gonzalez, a sopho- more who spent her break hanging out with her family in Northern Virginia. For her week oft, junior MarvBeth Coleman went to Oaxaca Mexico with a group from Catholic Campus Min- istr} ' . I had gone on a trip with them last spring, and I had such a great time that I wanted to go again! In addition to helping around the communit) ' and spending time with the residents of Oaxaca, Coleman spent the first few days tour- ing the surrounding areas. One day we went to Zocolo, the center ot town which housed many vendors in an outdoor market who had items for sale. Coleman also said that it was an experience to see a different culture [in action] and to be in a place where English is not the primary language.

Joes ready to fight, but it in fact does much more. Students don ' t have to major in the mili- tary field to wear ROTC ' s camouflage uniforms; however, the program ' s main goal is to produce officers for the army. The participants can also choose to join one of the groups within the ROTC program such as the MiUtar ' Honors Society, Officer Christian Fellowship or the Color Guard. This year ' s ROTC program included 200 mem- bers, roughly 80 of whom were freshmen. A significant number of the ROTC members were female. Women par- ticipants are expected to be on the same level as men and are judged by the same standards. Senior Leah Komara, a second heutenant, said, ROTC was the best opportunit}- of my Ute. It has opened so many doors and taught me so much about leadership. I have felt comfortable and equal on every level. ROTC training started right at the beginning of the year. The third- and fourth- year members even had to come back to JMU early to get oriented before the new recruits arrived. All participants had physical training three days a week for one hour all ) ' ear. Captain Vic Hearne, assistant professor of military science, said the students also have lab once a week and up to three lectures a week. The lab session is like an army battalion where the freshmen are soldiers, the sophomores are sergeants, and the juniors and seniors are officers. ROTC hosted many activities on and around cam- pus for the students including two blood drives, rappeling off Eagle Hall and helicopter rides as part of the STX field- training exercises. ROTC members also participated in the Staunton 10-mile Run and the Highway 13 Cleanup. Senior cadet Ted Fluke said, IMv experience in the ROTC program was unforgettable.

It is clearU ' evident that JMU students do care about their surroundinii; community and world contrary to public opinion about our generation. According to students involved in Center for Ser- icc Learning (CSL), the program is a rewarding experience. Junior Jessica Tencza worked with the environmental agency of CSL. She organized an event through the Greener Harrisonburg organization which invoked planting flowers by Interstate 81. It was a good experience because it got me involved in the Harrisonburg communitv, she said. CSl. placed me vet)- quickly and they were verj- cooperative. Junior Jennifer Woodworth said, Everybody is so friendly in the office. I couldn ' t believe there was a program so devoted to helping other people, especiallv in the Harrisonburg communiri ' and not just on campus. In addition to CSL, a number of smaller organiza- tions made themselves available for service. Campus Assault Response Helpline, a group ot about 25 members, is on call from noon ever} ' Thursday until noon the following Mon- day. After 20 hours of training, volunteers can go online, al- ternating 24-hour shifts each weekend.

The wagging tails, purring, chirp- ing and cuddling all gave students the comfort they needed after a long day. While off-campus students often had an endless selection of pets to choose from, those who lived on-campus were limited to Bubbles, the pet fish; however, a few worked around the rules. Fresh- man Kara Bohen and her suitemates thought a frog qualified as fish-like because it lived in a bowl. Mv suitemate Jenny loves frogs, and the rest of us just wanted to have an unusual pet. We were at Wal- Mart one weekend, saw ' Fred, ' and bought him, commented Bohen. Unfortunately, the frog died during the first semester, but she explained, we loved him so much that we kept him for three days after he passed away. Those living off campus had a managerie of animals running around. Manv students caught the attention of onlookers, by bringing their pets to cam- pus everv day, especially when it was a lizard, bunny or some other unique animal. Dogs often accom- panied their owners while running to class and on errands. No matter what the circumstances, students •ilways held a special place in their hearts for their pets. Some sttidents were glad to live off campus so that thev had the space thev needed to properly care for a pet. I can see why students aren ' t supposed to have pets in the dorms, junior Pvlogan Daniels said. In such close quarters, it ' s not tair for a pet like a bunny.

Rogers also got a chance to meet a nuinber of people including the D.C . United SoccerTeam, KiU ' eem Abdul-Jabar and some foreign Ohmpians. Sophomore Mark Oates spent his summer in Ana- heim, California playing in the Disneyland All-Amcrican College Band. A music major, Oates was one of nvenr ' stu- dents who were selected from across the countn ' to perform all styles of music five times a day, five days a week in Disne)iand.

The Jeep Eagle Collegiate Health and Fit- ness Tour was held on the new field behind the University Recreation Center this year in order to have more space tor activities and information booths. The health fair is not unique to JMU; it actually travels to about 50 universities and colleges each year. A team of 18 staff members and tour director Ken Gistedt tour the United States from Sept. 1 through Dec. 15 and then again from January through May. Their entourage includes five 26-foot trucks, a 33-foot trailer and four automobiles.

DueUng at the Gladiator Duel were seniors Chris Gough and Meghan Zimmerman. After defeating Zimmerman 3-1, Gough said triumphantly, I won 3-1 be- cause I feD on purpose.

JMU offers international study abroad programs as well as exchange and internship opportuni- ties in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Latin America, the Carribean, Asia and Africa. Each program is different and offers unique opportunities, depending on the inter- ests of the students involved. The Office of International Education coordinates the programs. Alost students study abroad for one semes- ter during their junior year, but some sophomores and se- niors go abroad as well. Junior Rvan Thompson studied in Salamanca, Spain, in the spring ot 1996, when he was a sophomore. Thompson decided to study abroad as a sopho- more because of his growth in Spanish classes. Although studying abroad is not limited to for- eign language majors, some programs have a language re- quirement for applicants. Most programs also include courses that participants can take to earn credit toward their majors and minors. Senior Stephani Martinell studied in London duringthe spring of 1996. ! figured London would be the best place to go for my major, Martinell said. I want to be an English teacher. Students go abroad to see new cultures, people and social behaviors, but it takes time to adjust to living in a foreign country. Language is the biggest route to the cul- ture, Thompson said. Some students were faced with bigger language barriers than others. Senior Robert Keeling spent five months in Tokyo, Japan, last year. Language was a prob- lem, especially the reading part, Keeling said. Japanese has over 3,000 characters and Keeling knew onlv a few hundred. I got lost my first day of class. College is one of the best times for an individual to go abroad.

Students from all over the world attend JMU. Each one carries warm memories and brings his or her own family holiday traditions to JMU. Many pre- pared tor holidays with triends by attending parties and dances or decorating their apartments or rooms. Aleredith Gee and her roommates decorated their apartment on Christmas and Halloween to get in the spirit ot the upcoming festivities. Many students in the dorms also decorated with jack-o ' -lanterns in the windows, trees in the lobby, lights around the win- dows and posters on the walls. Excitement traveled through the air as each holiday approached. Many sororities and fraternities as well as other campus groups held dances to cel- ebrate. Other students dressed up in costumes, at- tended the HolidayFest or gave out Easter baskets. While the school year includes a number of holidays from Columbus Day to St. Patrick ' s Day, not every- one has the time or energy to celebrate each and ev- ery one. Hilary Stautfer said, I don ' t like Halloween because I don ' t like to dress up and go trick-or-treat- ing. However, I really love Christmas, especially when JMU puts up the huge tree on the Quad. However, holidays sometimes brought out feel- ings of sadness and loneliness for students who were away from home, especially when others were full ot spirit and happiness. Overall, holidays brought out he best in people. They united the student community at JMU, creating a sense of wholeness as a campus at their home away trom home.

For sophomore Ryan Green, hanging out en- tailed anything that didn ' t involve thinking about school. I ' ll waste time watching TV, sitting around with my roommates, talking on the phone — whatever. For students who did their studying at home, roommates, TV and telephones often caused distrac- tions that eventually led to hanging out. No matter how hard I try to read, I always end up in the living room talking to my roommates, senior Matthew Swanson said. On a good day we ' ll head down to Willoby ' s for a couple of hours.

For students who didn ' t give in to the urge dur- ing the week, hanging out was reserved for weekends. I usually take the weekends off from my schoolwork, junior Johnny McBride said.

The School ofTheatre and Dance presented a number of concerts and plays as did the School of Music. Often they combined efforts to put on productions such as operas and musicals. As part of the Masterpiece Season, the School of Dance put on a number of concerts. The Virginia Repertory- Dance Company held its home concert in December, and the Contemporary Dance Company held its concert in March. Both groups were made up of current JMU dance majors who planned to dance professionally. The School ot Music put on a number ot concerts, showcasing numerous bands, orchestras and choirs. Whether it was faculty, the Guitar Ensemble, the Wind Symphony or the Madison Singers, there were opportunities almost ever ' week throughout the year to hear and enjoy the hard work ot these musicians. In addition, the School of Music teamed up with the School ofTheatre and Dance to perform the opera Hansel and Gretel and the musical Kiss Me Kate. The School ofTheatre and Dance also presented a number of performances throughout the year. In November, Agnes of God ran for a week in Latimer-Shaefifer Theatre as did The Professional in April. Aside from these major plays, there were also numerous small productions. Becoming part of the Stratford Players was a great way to get involved in theatre on a purely e, ' perimental level. Senior James Pinkowski, who directed Pots and Pans, liked being part of the group. It ' s a great way to get involved with the shows they produce in Theatre II. It ' s all experimental theater, and I enjoy it, he said. Ashly Covington, director of Titanic, agreed. It ' s a great way for freshmen theater majors especially to meet ev- erybody and get involved. It ' s an advantage theater majors have: thev are able to learn how to do ever thing they want to early on in their career, she said. Throughout the year, JMU offered students and the public not only great entertainment, but also great oppormni- tles for performance experiences.

Performances - 89 UP Every school has a unique style of architecture. Newer schools have modern structures with sharp angles and straight edges in an art deco fashion. Older schools incorporate piUars, arches and smoothl} ' cur ' ed structures. Here at JMU, we have the best ot all worlds. Some buildings on campus have arches, pil- lars and bluestone faces, all of which create an old-fashioned, almost regal feeling. Other buildings have more modem char- acteristics, including maze-like office areas and marble floors. One of the newest buildings on campus is the Univer- sity Recreation Center. Once confined to a recreational room located in the basement of Godwin Hall, the Wellness Center expanded to include a brand new recreational tacilir ' tor all students and facnilt) ' to use. The new building had a large pool, spacious weight rooms with state-of-the-art equipment, an indoor track and a huge basketb;ill court. A new bridge was constructed to allow students to safely cross Interstate 81 to reach UREC, the Convocation Center and the new CISAT building. .•Vlthough many students know which building on cam- pus is the newest, on!} ' a few, if an ' , know which buildings are the oldest. In 1908 Madison was called the Normal and In- dustrial School for Women at Harrisonburg. Under the direc- tion ot the founders, the first two buildings constructed for the school were Science Hall and Dormitory No. 1 . Over the years, the architecture of the uni ' ersir ' changed building bv build- ing, while the architecture of the student body changed from single sex to co-ed. Today James Madison Universirv ' still has its two original buildings, now known as Mauri- Hall and Jack- son Hall. Some of the older residence halls, such as Converse HaU and Cleveland Hall, create a special effect for campus. Sophomore Sara Dinwoodie, a resident of Gifford Hall, said, The Bluestones are the prettiest part of the campus. JMU began as a two-building learning facilit} ' sur- rounded by farmland in 1908, and, after almost ninet) ' years, the students who first attended this school would b arely recog- nize their alma mater. rom tfie traditionaC ' Bfuestones to the modem Lal ide area, ive have the Sestof aii ivorids.

Formals are usually held at the end of both semes- ters, allowing students ample time to plan for the big event. Fraternities, sororities and nearly every other campus group hold formals to give members a chance to get together, look their best and enjoy a night of dancing and fun. Whether the event was formal or semiformal, a good time was usually had by all. Alpha Phi Omega, a service fraternit)- with over 100 members, had their semi-formal on Nov. 16 at McCormick ' s Pub in Staunton. Sophomore Jeft ' Marsh said, I liked seeing everybody dressed up, especially my date because she was beautifijd. The TV lounge in Chandler HaU was the site of the residence hall ' s semiformal on Nov. 16. Senior hall director Valerie Bolen said the dance was initially underestimated, but ended up lasting longer than originally planned. People stepped in to see what it was about and it seemed like so much fiin that they went upstairs to get dressed up and then came back down! she said. Pi Sigma Epsilon, one of four business fraternites held its winter semiformal at Pano ' s Restaurant. Senior Karen Gurick and her date Dave Chintala enjoyed the last FIXE semitormal of their college careers. We ' ve gone to so many formals over the years that this one wasn ' t really a big deal, Gurick said. But once we were there it occurred to both of us that this would be the last one we ' d go to together as students. That made it almost more important than an ' ot the others.

Junior Eric Branner found his way to San Francisco compliments of his musical abilit}- and VBOP. When the local radio station offered a contest with the prize ot a trip to the west coast for a New Year ' s Metallica concert, Branner and junior JVIike Finn were game. The contest was held at Awflil Arthur ' s downtown. A lot of people were doing some really weird stuff, but since this place [Harrisonburg] is prett) ' conser ' ative, we fig- ured we ' d do something a little different. Something a little ditferent became a rendition of some of N letallica ' s biggest songs on banjo and tuba. The judges evidently appreciated the un- usual instrument choices and awarded the duo with the trip to San Francisco. It was a blast ... we got to see the city and go to the show; it was a really cool way to spend New Year ' s, said Branner. For another group of student musicians, it was plavnng the shows, not seeing them, that provided them with their fif- teen minutes of fame, and sometimes more. The band the j in man ' has nvo CDs to its credit, the first selling 1,000 copies in its first year, along with a local fol- lowing that stretches beyond the JMU communit) ' into Charlottesville, Blacksburg and Washington, D.C. Though none of the band members was sure ot the secret of the j in marv ' s success, senior drummer Ben Thrift remembered how it all started. At first we started out just fool- ing around with music ... but then things got better and better Now we ' ve plaved at Virginia Tech, Clemson, New York ... The band ' s biggest gig was at New York Cin ' ' s CBGB where notable aas like LIVE and Madonna performed during their davs on the club circuit. But the j in marv- ' s greatest ac- complishment came in Januarv ' when the band gained national exposure when its music was featured in the Lifetime channel ' s series The Place. We ' re taking a year off after graduation to do this fijl time and see how far we can go, said Thrift. Our goal is to get a deal with a major label.

As the day approached, how- ever, nearly every graduating senior became nostalgic as old memories brought to mind the good old days. I never realized how much I would miss this place, Brett Conway said. Looking back over the years, I ' ve had so many good times. I wish I could remember each one exactly as it happened, but the four years have passed so fast that I can ' t always remember what happened when. Although the years did pass quickly for many seniors, some were able to pinpoint one specific time that defined their college career. Meeting Gainer, said Dan Cadaw in refer- ence to his freshman year suitemate, who had a major impact on his following three years. While classes, tests and papers may have dominated students ' time, few recalled school without the enthusiasm the v had for free time or weekend activities. I remember the night that my suitemates and I decided to decorate our suite with coloring book pictures, said senior Laura Fritz. B ' the end of the year, we had hundreds of pictures everywhere. It was one of the most lively suites in Weaver Hall. For students who took advantage ot opportunities away from JMU, it wasn ' t time spent in Harrisonburg, but the time spent in college that was so valuable. Senior Jennie Kang said her favorite college experience was spending a semester in Paris. It was something I ' d never experienced before and it turned out to be the experience ot a lifetime. Regardless of what specific events seniors recall as their favorite, all agree that college was indeed a time for learning and experiencing. No one specific thing reall ' jumps out at me as the best time I ' ve had, Matt Dixon said. The entire time has been so important. I learned so much and experi- enced so many things.

The class of 2000 brought in more fresh faces than ever before. The boundaries of the campus grounds stretched ever farther as students were housed in Hojo ' s for the second time in the university ' s history. The new Recreation Center opened its doors for the first time, sending students across the highway on a regular basis. The CISAT campus began to take shape as finishing touches were placed on the main building, complete with a new dorm and dining facilities. Madison expanded in many new directions. Yet while the scope of the university was growing larger, all students - from freshmen starting out to seniors preparing for the real world - could still feel a sense of community. No matter what developments occurred, JMU was still a place where each individual had impact. £Yicole . %jfey EDITOR r Classes Divider 107 Class of backed ' Tight 77? f largest student bochj ever left the unirersitij bursting at the seams •■ bv Liz Thompson Students wait in long lines at tile post office.

Molevaki The MORE the merrier? This was a question man) ' stu- dents and faculty members were forced to ask themselves at the beginning of the 1996-97 school year. With the acceptance ot over 500 more freshmen, there was an added STRAIN on re- sources and activities. JMU was literally bursting at the seams. The first problem the university faced when dealing with its largest-ever enrollment was where to house aU the students. Every dorm was filled to capacity. Howard Johnson became a dorm to accommodate the CRUNCH ot freshmen students. Some Village rooms were tripled and Converse HaU, scheduled to be closed for renovations, was reopened to house freshmen tor the first time ever. Freshman Crystal Mitchell said, Being in a triple was okay. The BIGGEST problem was the lack of closet and drawer space. The next challenge facing the universit} ' was trying to feed everv ' one. Dining ser dces had to come up with some way to accommodate the larger number of people. The first week, LINES at Dukes and D-Hall were enormous. You had to stand in a MOB of people foi nvenn ' minutes or more just to get dinner, saic sophomore Kathy Selgas. To cut down on the traffic at all the eatin§ establishments on campus, dining services offeree incentives to eat during off hours. Students had mixed reactions regardinj the university ' s SUDDEN GROWTH spurt I really don ' t want to see JMU become a hugt univcrsirv. The thing I have always loved abou this school is the way we are a small, close-knii community, said senior Robyn Collins. Sophomore Bobby Mitchell said, Th larger number of students means more long line and more cramped living, but it also means bigge parties, louder cheers at football games an MORE FRIENDS to meet. Freshmen Jason Murphv, John Davis and James Nichols spend rime together in their room in Chappelear Hall. Many freshmen lived in triples because of the increased enrollment. Freshmen were also housed at Hojo and in Converse HaU. 108 - Expand EmUy S. Aaron, PSYC ECED, Westminster, MD Mauricio O. Abela, Int ' l Business, Annandale, VA Kimberly Y.

Dowdy As more and more students accepted admission to JMU for the 1996-97 school year, student housing became one of the biggest challenges facing the largest student population in the school ' s history. Fortunately NEW off-campus living options opened their doors as well, Denton ' s apartments offered the unique opportunit} for upperclassmen to pay on-campus room and board rates while living in an OFF-CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT. Lo- cated in two buildings on Court Square and Liberty Street in downtown Harrisonburg, Denton ' s used to be a furniture ware- house. JMU purchased the property last year and renovated the buildings into apartments. Every apartment was designed and arranged dififerend- ' . Students were able to enjoy Hving in a building where ever}-- thing was new. Junior Rachel Nelson was pleased with her decision to live at Denton ' s. I love the idea of living downtown close to aU the shops and restaurants, she said. However, living DOWNTOWN also had its drawbacks. It ' s definitely not campus, and I miss that, Nelson said. It feels far away sometimes, but the walk to campus isn ' t too lo ng and it ' s flat so it really doesnt bother me. South View apartments provided another new alternative for student living. The new complex, a division of The Commons apartments, offered LUXURIES such as oversized closets, double beds and built-in microwave ovens. South View was also the only major complex to offer bathrooms adjoining each bedroom. I love having my own bathroom, said junior Sa- rah Kellv. It reallv gives me a sense of PRI- VACY and I had a lot of fun decorating it just the way I want it. For some, however, the distance from campus was a disadvantage ot living in South View. It is not as close as some ot the other apartments. You teel sort of out of touch, Kelly added. Although these off-campus living options were a Uttlc flirther away from campus, the} ' did help alleviate the overcrowding situation. Denton ' s apartments in downtown Harrisonburg pro ' ided students with the unique option of li ' ing off campus for on-campus room rates. The rooms were built over the summer in what used to be a furniture store. Each apartment was laid out differently.

Students faced the frustrating task of fitting the last four years of their hfe on the front side of a sheet of paper. Once this task was complete, they frantically sent out RESUMES. Seniors poured into the career services center in hopes of fmding that perfect job. Stress over interviews started to set in and finally the long wait for a job offer began.

Cochran, Int ' l Bus, Annapolis, MD 114 - Expand Class of Uniquely JM ' Students and acuity members share unusual jargon and habits by Nicole Steffey This smiling flower enjoys a spring afternoon. Every spring after ground crews planted thousands of flowers, anonymous students drew faces on the blossoms. JMU was known for its beautiful flower beds. Have you ever asked yourself what other university in the country has a TRAIN, a creek and a major interstate highway running through it? Have you ever tried to explain to someone what a punch is? JMU itself is a unique COMMUNITY. In our daily lives as college students we form habits and use jargon that few people living outside of South Main Street and Port Republic Road would understand. I always think it ' s funny that we call our president ' UNCLE RON. ' I asked a friend at another school once who their president was and she just laughed and said she didn ' t know. I think it ' s really nice that we know him on a first name basis, said sophomore Jessica Cole. Uncle Ron is not the only term JMU students and faculty members have developed. While the formal name for the main • ' ' . ■ dining hall is Gibbons Hall, only freshmen refer to it by that name during their first week at JMU. They soon learn that D-HALL is the only phrase used. I had a visitor ask me once how to get to Gibbons Hall. I had no idea. I told them there was no such building. It took me several minutes before I realized they were trying to get to D-Hall, said senior John Taylor. Certain habits and rituals are also uniquely JMU. During the winter months few students bothered with buying a fancy sled to zoom down the Valley ' s hills of snow. Most JMU students bragged about what great sleds D-HaU trays made. In addition, the number one party game, BEER PONG, is not very well known by many college students at other universities. I went to a friend ' s party at UVa. one weekend and I kept asking them when we were gonna start playing beer pong. They just kept look- ing at me like I was nuts, said junior Cor ' Wallack. It seems so weird that no one else knows that game. I mean all the gas stations on Port Re- public sell ping pong balls, said sophomore Gabe Uhr. There is only one place in the world like JMU. Students wait patiently as the train passes through campus during the day. The train often held up traffic and made students late for classes. The trains did not hold passengers, but cargo for Norfolk- Southern train Unes instead. People - 115 Class of Turning 21 j ite of passage, the big birthday gave stucie its a tvason to celebrate. by Amy Keller Amanda Atkins celebrates her hig day with a party. Roommates and friends ottcn threw parties for students turning 21. As the big day drew near, many students waited in anticipation for the rite of passage to arrive. After 21 long years of waiting tor the BIG birthdaw students sometimes found themselves unable to give accurate accounts of the CELEBRATION. For some students, coUege is all about parr ' ing and ha ' ing fun. Even for the less active partier, the 21st birthday is an occasion to celebrate. For my birthday my roommates took me out for dinner and drinks, junior Sacha Ostroff said. We had something to eat and something to drink in almost every restaurant in Harrisonburg. It was so much fiin to be legal. While the initial excitement over turning 21 may ha ■c been ENTERTAINING for a while, students sometimes found themselves in bed the morning after with a headache big enough to cause regrets. My birthday was so much fun that I didn ' t get out of bed for nearly 12 hours after it, senior Jesse McBride said. At least I assume I had a lot of FUN. My friends are still talking about it. Although hang-overs and memon ' lapses are common among college students following the big birthday, turning 21 is a LONG-AWAITED occasion for nearly everyone. For as long as I can remember, mv friend and I have talked about going to the Hard Rock Cafe in D.C. for a glass of wine, junior Andy Sorensen said. Of course, we ' re both 21 now and we ' ve never gone. Regardless of what students chose to do on their birthdays, few could complain about what the celebration entailed. I could have cared less what I did on my birthda ' as long as I spent it at a bar with 100 of m}- closest friends, junior Matthew Johnson said. I got lucky, really, because the bar we decided to go to happens to be a local favorite. Not only were ail 100 friends there, but I also made 100 new friends. SeniorTina Humbertson celebrates her Oct. 5 birthday with a drink at The China Inn. Tina ' s commates took her out on the town for her first night of being legal. Students often went out to a special dinner for their big birthday. 116 - ' - Expand Deborah A Coe, Sociology, Williamsburg, VA Misty L. Coe, CIS, Fredricksburg, VA CoUeen M.

Students had the dav oft due to torrential Mother Natxire gave students an early break as remnants of Hurricane Fran ripped through the Shenandoah Valley, CLOS- ING SCHOOL only two weeks after classes began. On Sept. 6, Fran dropped over five inches of rain on the Harrisonburg area, causing substantial FLOODING by mid- morning. Torrential rains swept through the city, closing roads and many Rockingham County schools for over a week. The university was better prepared for high water this time after having experienced the flooding that the Blizzard of ' 96 brought last year. Both bridges crossing the creek sustained this storm and the decision to cancel classes for the day was made very quickly. Although the storm was a devastating blow to the com- munity, many students welcomed the day off Wrapping them- selves in torn trash bags, manv students headed over to Hillside . hicwski Field for a host of WATERSPORTS. It was crazy, said sophomore Kathy Selgas. People were all mud sliding and playing football. Some kids were even trying to jump into the creek — which at that point was more like a river. Senior Brad Breitbeil recalled, I woke up that morning and saw the rain and said ' let ' s have a part} ' . ' Some off-campus students were not so Students C J thrLUed by the inclement weather. Apartments in Universit} ' Place were flooded, and students were stranded by the massive amount of water in the parking lot. Some students living at The Com- mons also woke up to WATER-SOAKED apartments. There was water pouring in our back door. Our carpet and fiimiture were ruined. It was like a bad dream, said junior Amanda Callahan. It was also no day off for campus cadets, who were called in earh ' to help the INIU police close streets and keep people out ot harm. Although the Shenandoah Vallev ' escaped ' er - heav-v ' damage like the southern regions ot the east coast, man ' of areas were hit hard.

Mappy hour was often the only chance a group of friends had to et togther. friends coulii catch up on 1 he latest gossip over their favorite beer. Many students ot legal age discovered a certain time ot the evening when it was too early to go out to a PARTY, vet the perfect time to get together with friends and relax. This TIME was known to many as happy hour. On any given day of the week, between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., students could be found at their favorite local bar or restaurant, sitting among FRIENDS and chatting about the week ' s activities. Students divided their time among several Harrisonburg establishments, most of which had drink and food specials to at- tract students in search of a GOOD DEAL. Dave ' s Taverna, J. Willoby ' s, JM ' s, Blue Foxx, Boston Beanery and Spanky ' s were all among the favorite places students went to enjov themselves. r;r.i- u Senior Alicia Pheonix said, I go to happy hour regularly. It ' s a great time to wind down, be with friends and forget about being a student for a while. Senior Nikki Yohe explained, A night at J. Willoby ' s Roadhouse during their happy hour is a GREAT way to start off the weekend. Many other students enjoyed taking part in the happy hour festivities. Junior Laura Gregorid met with friends every weekend at the different restaurants around campus. It was nice to unwind after a long week with friends, said Gergorio. It was a relaxing and fun way to catch up with people. Many happy hour venues were the perfect places to kick off the upcoming weekend. People, music, drinks and food always set the right atmo- sphere for the break. It was the official beginning of the week- end scene and so I looked forward to it all week, said junior Bikram Guliani. I can ' t wait until next weekend when we can start the party all over again. These students enjoy happy hour at Spanky ' s. Many chose local establish- ments to go to that were offering specials. Happy hour was not only a time to relax and forget the stress of classes, but also to enjoy inexpensive drinks 120 - ' Expand Andrew H. Dittamo, Accounting, Woodbridge, VA Jessica N.

Graduation took place at 7 p.m. just as the sun was beginning to set. About 300 students graduated. Most people associate graduation with May flowers and sunny afternoon CELEBRATIONS, but pomp and circum- stance is played more than once a year at JMU. Although the size of the December and July graduations is substantially smaller than the May commencement, veneration of the graduates is not diminished. Parents ' eyes are still filled with pride, and ecstatic students still must SAY GOODBYE to their coUege home. I wish I could stay, said senior Jennifer Corboy. Corboy decided to graduate early in December to avoid the expense of an eighth semester. Senior Mike Canada said that graduating in DECEM- BER was an important step in furthering his career. I ' m on a very tight timetable. I need to get my degree and get back to my job, he said. Some JMU students said they expected job prospects to be better after July and December graduations because there is a smaller influx of new graduates into the job market at those times. Others pointed to cost as a reason for not waiting until May to graduate. December GRADUATES had the benefit of receiving their diplomas as an additional holiday gift. JULY graduates had the benefit of attending a beautiful sunset ceremony on the Quad. JMU alumnus Bill Harlow said, I had to take a class in May session to finish because I went abroad to do an internship. I could have walked in May, but I opted to graduate in July because I had heard the CEREMONY was beautiflil. I think my family was able to enjoy my graduation more because in July there isn ' t the massive amounts of people crowding all of Harrisonburg. While students graduating in May had to make dinner and hotel reservations a year ahead of time, students going through July and Decem- ber graduation had more options. I reallv enjoved graduating in Julv because the atmosphere was more relaxed and the cer- emonv was so beautifiil, said alumna Cindi Tho- Dr. Bethany Oberst, vice president of academic affairs, addressed the crowd of parents and friends at thejuly commence- ment ceremony. A business- man from northern Virginia gave the commence- ment speech.

Harris nsited Alleva at home and they spent the weekend enjoying the good Italian cooking thev tound in the City. After seven straight weeks ot class, college life began to wear on most students. Papers and PROJECTS began to pile up, keeping up with reading became laborious and midterms crept up out of nowhere. Numerous parking tickets had eaten all the spending money and the mysterious Simeon still had students confiised. If one more person cut in line at D-Hall, they were go- ing to get a tray upside the head. In other words, it was time for a break. This year Fall Break was held on Oct. 21. It gave students a short but appreciated REST from the daily grind. Some students were confused as to when Fall Break was this year and so they had trouble making plans. I kept hearing one thing in one class and another in the next. I was so confused and so were all mv professors, said junior Virginia Baetcke. Once the confusion was cleared up, students were able to make the most of their FREE DAY. Some students decided to go HOAIE for the long weekend. Homesickness and the need to get away were top reasons to head back to mom and dad. I hadn ' t seen my parents since the dav I moved in back in August, said freshman Luke Albright. I was re;ill ' looking forward to mom ' s home cooking and sleeping in my own bed. Other students decided to take the three days and visit friends at other colleges or to take a long-awaited ROAD TRIP. Senior Simone Figula traveled with a friends to Penns) ' lvania. It was so much fiin, she said. We went to Bucknell and to a track meet at Penn State. I met some great new people and it was nice to see another campus for a change. Unfortunatclv, not all students could escape the friendly cir ' of Harrisonburg. Some found that their work load and responsibilities were too bur- densome even for a short VACATION. I just had so much to do I stayed right here in the ' Burg, said junior John Vahedian. Whatever the plans or destinations. Fall Break was the perfect time for students to relax and let loose before classes resumed. I had so much fiin I wish we had Fall Break every week. This student spent her day at space camp learning to fly to the moon. The camp puts students through igorous physical tests to show them what it takes to be an astro- naut. Many used fall break as a chance to challenge themselves. 124 - Expand Nicole D. GaUipoH, PSYC.Toms River, NJ Adrienne M. Gantt, Health Sciences, Yorktown, VA David A.

Halloween was a popular time for costume parties all around campus. Students also dressed up for theme parties and formals. If you Stop by JMU on almost any weekend night, you ' ll probably come to the consensus that many students never really grew out of PLAYING dress up. On special occasions and holidays students still enjoyed wearing their parents ' clothes from the ' 60s and ' 70s and their own florescent T-shirts from the ' 80s. Whether it was Halloween, St. Patrick ' s day or just a theme party on a Friday night, students loved to find an excuse to put on a SILLY outfit. It gets you revved up for a party and creates a mood, said sophomore Kristen Titus. Theres a mission: find the perfect OUTFIT. Halloween still tops the charts as one of students ' favorite times to dress up. But for some the holiday was quite a trick. Sopho- more Kathy Selgas said, I was walking across the Quad and sud- denly a blue MScM was coming toward me. For a minute I Canrmtii thought I was hallucinating, but then I remembered it was Halloween. Theme parties have expanded far beyond the traditional toga PARTIES and now range from western ho- downs to pajama sleep overs. For our pledge party, I dressed my sisters up as Fruit of the Loom. They couldn ' t walk through doorway ' s because they were so big, recalled Titus. Christmas was another time of year that ma ny students found was prime time for digging in the back of the closet. Many organizations had FORMALS around the end of the semester. ' We had our holiday semi-formal in Staunton this year, said sophomore Alicia Pavne. It was so nice to see even ' one dressed up tor the night and the holiday. Students returned home during Thanksgiv- ing to search the stores for the perfect dress or comb the closets of their closest friends in search of GOWNS thev had worn in the past. Between all my friends and I, we ne ' er ha ' e to buy another dress again. We all have so many that we never have to go out and buv a new dress. It ' s fun to wear other peoples ' clothes, said junior Amanda Collins. Juniors Morgan Daniels, Michelle Schmitt and Shannon Centanni dress up for a theme party.

Wh ' did Jem ' dump his fiancee? Is Chan- dler really gay? Who the heck is Susan and where did she sud- denly come from? The answers to these questions could all Bl found in three joyous hours of television on Thursday nights — NBC ' s Must See TV. While Thursday night was a night for partying on man - college campuses, a new tradition has emerged in recent years — the RITUAL of Thursday night television. Not since the he - day of Saturday Night Live has America seen such devotion to a night of television. JMU students are no exception to the phe- nomenon. Clusters of students gathered around TV sets weekly to enjoy Friends, Seinfeld, Suddenly Susan and ER. We never miss it, said sophomore Linda Hughes. M friends and I all crowd around mv TV on beds and futons and WATCH it together. It ' s a tradition now. We even watch repeats. This year saw a few changes in the THURSDAY night line-up. Caroline In the City moved to Tuesday to make room for Brooke Shields ' new show Suddenly Susan. The show faired well in the ratings, but student opinion didn ' t necessarUv agree. I don ' t think it ' s funnv, said senior Rikki Moncrieff I mean Brooke is hot and all, but she isn ' t that funny. I am glad to sec that Judd Nelson has found work again. The budding ROMANCE between Ross and Rachel on Friends was the storyUne to watch this season. Many students were relieved to see the lovebirds finally get together, and stunned when the relationship suddenly ended. Rachel. My friends and I are absolutely OBSESSED with her. We cut out the milk ad she was in and have plastered it all over our suite. She is a beautifiil woman, said sophomore Brian Hazzard. ER, prime-time television ' s number one show, also had a big change this year when one of the big STARS left the show. Senior Brad Rash said, My roommates and I always watch ER. When Sherri left, we couldn ' t believe it. I jus t can ' t believe that she and Goose are never going to get togther. Singing the theme song to Frientis, Sophia Antzoulatos, Jen McLaren and Kellv ' anko vski entertain the crowd at the Blue Foxx.

Areas such as Redish Knob, Wintergreen and Luray Caverns presented students with numerous options for outdoor actiiities. The Shenandoah Valley provided the campus of JMU with a SPLENDID backdrop. With mountains on all sides, Harrisonburg was the perfect place for students to enjoy majestic sunsets, incredible colors in fall and beautifU snowfalls in the win- ter. Students who enjoyed the outdoors had so many oppor- tunities surrounding them. Endless Caverns, Skyline Caverns and Luray Caverns were popular places to go to enjoy nature. The caverns are so incredible. I love to go there and walk around and see the amazing things that NATURE provides us with, said sophomore Christina Zechman. Students who liked hiking, skydiving, snow skiing and rock climbing could easily fmd places to accomodate their hobbies. The nearby Shenandoah National Forest, Massanutten, Redish Knob and Afton Mountain were some of the most popular places students went to get OUTDOORS. We went hiking one Saturday. It was two miles straight up. I thought I was going to die on the way up, but once we got to the top it was worth it. You can see for hundreds of miles, said sophomore Carolyn Reams. I love to go rock climbing. I love to push my body and to get out and enjoy the FRESH AIR. After I ' ve made it to the top of a cliff I feel renewed, said junior Erin Callahan. Spending time outdoors was popular among clubs and organizations and among couples looking for some bonding time. My bo ' friend surprised my one Saturday by showing up with a PICNIC lunch. We drove up to Skyline Drive and spent a quiet afternoon together. It was so romantic, said junior Caroline Jenkins. Buckhill Lodge and Wintergreen were also popular getaways for students in search of the great outdoors. Every now and then, students took a break from the daily routine of classes and work and headed for the beaur ' and serenity of nature. Jessica Cole, Nicole Steffey, Denise Seipel, Meredith Lindcr and Kate Springer enjoy a day at Hump- back Mountain. The Valley provided numerous opportuni- ties Tor students who enjoyed rock climbing and hiking. People - 131 Class of 11 J our years TJiey shared a room freshman year and they ' re still together! by Amy Keller One of the scariest things about college is the first-year mysterv ROOMAIATE. For students who allow themselves to be randomly paired with another student, the experience can be traumatic and sometimes horrifying. There are times, how- ever, when the university ' s system makes a perfect match and the roommates remain together for the duration of their college ca- Scniorsjeft Kaminsk) ' , Greg Wilson and Brad SandcUa li ' cd together with their fourth roommate, l at Danaher. in a suite their treshman year. The tour have shared good times over the ears and hosted many parlies in their I lunter ' s kidge apartment. Despite the horror stories of students who get stuck with the nightmare roommate, there are times that two strangers live together freshman year and GET ALONG so well that they decide to stay together. We both got along so well the first year and became re- allv good friends, senior Jennie Kang said. We ' ve never had any real serious conflicting problems with each other. Jennie has become one of my best friends now, said senior Amy Feezor, Kang ' s roommate since freshman year. It ' s amazing how close we have become. Although sometimes the university- does make a good match, some students prefer to ease into college by choosing to live with a RELIABLE triend from high school. Why bother messing around with those information sheets when you know you will get along with a friend from school? Senior Amy Carmichael said. Even if things don ' t go as well as you think they will, it ' s stiU nice not having to play the game of chance. Anyway, it worked out great for me. Even when the universit) ' does make a bad AIATCH initially, there are times when a stu- dent moves from one room to another early during his or her freshman year and discovers a friendship with the new roommate. We were placed together by chance and it worked out better than we could have ever imag- ined, said senior Jen Turczyn. We ' ve been roomies ever since. I ' d hke to thank whoever put us to- gether. Seniors Jen Turczyn and April Spotts spend time together in their freshman- vear suite.

Despite the removal of the cross walk between the two sides of campus, students did not break old habits. Most students at JMU quickly became used to living with change. From the RESTRUCTURING of the curriculum to allowing freshmen to live in Hojo ' s, students were constantly forced to adapt to new things. As JMU began preparing for the next century, the campus itself was forced to undergo a variety a changes. Over Parents Weekend, students strolling leisurely nearNewman Lake were greeted with a new sight. A FOUN- TAIN was placed in the center of the lake. I was riding the bus to class on Monday after Parents Weekend and suddenly I real- ized that the ducks weren ' t alone anymore. There was this huge stream of water, said sophomore Christine Dahlquist. Not long after the semester began, the CROSSWALK in front of Anthony Seeger Hall was removed under orders from the City of Harrisonburg. The street itself was ground up and ' miimm the old sidewalk leading down to the building was removed and replaced with grass. Students were expected to walk down to the light at Grace Street. However, many students chose not to adapt to this unwelcome change. Most students continued to cross South Main Street where the crosswalk had once been. Taking away the crosswalk a bad idea. It turned crossing the street into a game of FROGGER, said junior Nancy Birch. More change took place in November as MR. CHIPS, the campus convenience store, un- derwent renovations. A new front was put on the building, and the creek bed running alongside the building was secured. The renovations were due in part to the flooding that damaged the store in January 1996. Also in November, a new building was erected. The NEW RESIDENCE HALL was built on the far side of the campus, near Price Club. The dorm further marked the trend toward extending the campus across the highway. The building was opened to residents during spring semester. We ' re growing so fast that it is reallv amazing. said sophomore Rick Long. The ducks swim near the new fountain that was placed in the middle of Newman Lake just before Parents Weekend. The fountain was built in the lake, not only for aesthetics, but also to help aerate the water. People - 135 Class ot ' Parking It So luany cars, so few spaces. Parking oi} campus could be a night niar( by Liz Thompson 1- inding illegally I ' .irkcd curs, sophomore l);ivc Nuff tickets this car parked iH-hind W ' ayland 1 Kill during icstricted hours. Parking ticket fines served as an important source ot revenue for the Univer- sity. For many students finding LEGAL parking on campus raniced somewhere between pop quizes and 8 a.m. classes. Driv- ing to class for manv commuter students was not even an option. With only se ' en parking lots available to over 3,000 stu- dents, FIGHTING tor a parking space was a daily chore. Parking permits were handed out throughout the year. Permits were available for all off-campus students and on-cam- pus students who were sophomores, juniors and seniors. Fresh- men were not allowed to have cars on campus. Parking TIC KETS were handed out everyday. Many stu- dents quickly became familar with the gut-wrenching feeling of puUing that long white slip of paper offof their windshields. I left my car in the wrong lot accidentlv for two davs! It was painful to part with that TWENTY DOLLARS, said sophomore Julie Moore. New no parking signs were placed in a ' r zr,! .. variety of places at the beginning of the school vear to discourage students from parking illegally. Orange cones were placed outside Warren Hall to keep students from parking in the bus unloading zone. Because of the tighter restric- tions, students were forced to come up with new, creative places to park. I puUed mv car up on the sidewalk outside my dorm one afternoon because I was loading in my luggage for a weekend trip. I was gone for five minutes. When 1 came back, I had a ticket. Someone must have been waiting, in the bushes, for me to walk away from mv car so they sould give me a ticket, said junior Tami Wright. I have gotten so many parking tickets I have lost count. I ' ve saved all the yellow copies. I want to keep them as MEMENTOS of my col- lege career, said senior Tim Walters. Although students continued to complain about parking situation, many continued to drive to class. That ' s why I used the bus, said sopho- more John Lee. It was convenient and saved me the daily hassle of finding a parking spot. Besides, I didn ' t want to park in a gravel pit, anyway. Finding the perfect spot on campus, this student easily parks the motor- cycle in a designated spot. Some students found alternatives to the bus and cars in order to avoid the parking crunch during class hours. 136 - Expand Amy E. Loud, English, Sandy Hook, CT Christina E.

Although Simeon caused headaches at first, the program was more user friendly than the VAX When the administration changed the e-mail system from last year, the whole campus seemed to PANIC. Many returned to school ready to get hooked up to the system to keep in touch with friends for free. But, when trying to get into the system, they found it took a lot more work than it did last year. Just when I thought I had the VAX mastered, they changed the sys- tem on me and I had to start from scratch all over again, said sophomore J. L. Avery. Upon arriving in the fall, students found their old VAX programs had been replaced with notices describing the new mail account. For some, setting up this new account was a piece of cake and they were corresponding with friends in no time. For others, however, just making a new password was like brain sur- gery and several trips to the computer HELP DESK were necessary. The new system was quite a change from last year ' s e-mail, but it was an UPGRADE that the university felt was needed. Some of the most common complaints last year were that the system was too slow and didn ' t have many features. Plus, the VAX mail system was OLD, basically unchanged since 1983. Once students learned how to use the new system, Simeon provided a quick and easy way to communicate with friends. Simeon brought many improvements, such as the abiUty to let users ac- cess their mail from different locations — whether from home, office or computer lab. Operations such as deleting and printing e-mail were also made easier by the upgrade. Though for some it may have taken a while to understand, the NEW e-mail system defi- nitely seemed well worth the time and patience. Once mastered, communication never seemed so easy! People-- 139 Class of Can I Stay ? Jhr those who just really weren ' t ready to leave ... there wasjifth year by Kate Springer Meghan Copcrich, a fifth-vear senior, poses with several friends. Copcrich stayed an extra year to complete her student teaching requirement for her education minor. For many students, college is a great place. A lot of stu- dents like college so much that they NEVERwant to leave. Then, at the end of four years, they wave a tearful good-bye to their be- loved alma mater. And some stay longer. For some students, four years of college was not enough to complete their curriculum. Thev became fifth-vear seniors. Fifth-year seniors stayed for a variet}- of different reasons. Jed Springer, an accounting information systems major, stayed because he changed his major during his senior year and needed to take some extra classes. I was an accounting major and I changed to accounting information systems so I had to stay an EXTRA semester. But JMU ' s a great place, so it wasn ' t that big of a sacri- fice. Other students stayed LONGER because of multiple majors. I am a triple major in English, religion and sociology. Needless to say, I ' m going to stick around JMU for quite a while, said fifth-year student Megan Wright. But for some students, staying at JMU for an extra year is not such a fortunate thing. Sara Smith, an interna- tional business major, was one of these students. My parents and I only PLANNED on my be- ing at college for four years. When I went to Spain mv junior year, I fell a little bit behind, so now I have to stay for an extra semester. My budget ' s a little tight right now since this wasn ' t expected. Springer, a former Marching Royal Duke, was not completely unhappy to be staying for an extra semester. I spent four years playing the drums with the MRDs. It was really EXCIT- ING to sit on the sidelines with all of the stu- dents for the first time since junior high, Wright said. Five years seems like such a long time. It just makes me wonder what I ' ll be doing after the next five years. Maybe I ' ll still be at JMU! Fifth-year senior Scott Ogre Colston, pictured at the right, greets a friend on the Quad. Fifth- year seniors got to enjoy one more year of classes, friends and fun. Dvwd 140 - Expand Jason M. Miller, Biology, Dumfries, VA Jennlne L. Miller, Social Work, Woodbridge, VA Kevin J.

B g-r 1 IH i ' This on- campus student picks up a package at the mail room. Off- campus students recieved packages at their apartments. The once bustling campus mail room was half as Hill Moving off campus for students is a BIG deal and a new experience for upperclassmen. An apartment, house or townhouse means leaving the dorm life and all the rules, and finally having your ov n room and living space. However, off-campus living is not without problems. For example, the mail system for JMU has always been an expected tradition. Everyone knew when they came to JMU that they would be given a post office box that they would share with another student for all four (or five) years here at school. But this year that TRADITION changed for off-campus stu- dents. ' 1 was shocked to hear that we no longer had a post office box this year, exclaimed junior Heather Brite. It was not a surprise that this new way of distributing the mail for JMU took place. Because the number of freshmen ac- cepted for the 96-97 school year was high, there was simply not enough room for everyone to have a mailbox, so off-campus stu- dents were the first to lose their boxes. This created confusion for many students. I had to tell everyone my new address and I still received a lot of mail late or marked return to sender. My birthday gifts were late this year because my friends sent my PACKAGES to my old address, explained junior Ali Farmer. Organizations and clubs had to decide how to contact the majority of JMU students living off campus. ' If we wanted to get information out to students about our organization we couldn ' t just stuff mailboxes because half of the upperclassmen didn ' t hear about it, said senior Jill Rushman. Of course, the mail room at JMU was never just a place to pick up MAIL. I miss going to the mailroom with friends and meeting up with people to socialize, said senior Robin Bonato. Nevertheless, some students looked at the posi- tives. I prefer having all my mail sent to my apart- ment because it takes longer for mail to process through the JMU mail room. claimed junior Brandon Rop. There was simply not enough room for everyone to share a six by eight by twelve inch space in the mailroom. James Nichols turns the combina- tion on his mailbox. Fewer students received mail on campus, allowing many on- campus students to have a box to themselves. Clubs and organizations were unable to send free campus mail to commuter students.

After 15 weeks of classes most students were more than ready to get away. Before the lines of cars could pack Interstate 81, students had to struggle through a long week of final exams. Junior Amanda Schell said, By the 14th week of class I was ready to get out of here. By that time Fd already finished five papers, endless num- bers of tests and three or four projects. FINALS week was the last straw. Once I made it through those long five days, I was more than ready to vegetate for three weeks. Over winter break most students were HOMEWARD Canru:tll bound to spend the holidays with family and friends. I love going home at winter break because when 1 arrive our house is all decked out in Christmas decorations and my mom has always baked something absolutely wonderful. It is so heavenly to go from being so stressed out over finals to being in the cozy comforts of home, said sophomore Jessica Strickland. This year students left for Thanksgiving break on Nov. 26 and only two weeks after return- ing were headed home again for winter BREAK. In years past there have been at least three weeks separating the holidays. It was so weird this year. I felt like Thanksgiving and Christmas were right on top of each other! We got back after Thanks- giving and it was time to get right back in the car and go home for winter break, said sophomore Kate Springer. For some winter break was more than the traditional holiday fare. Some took advantage of the FREE TIME to experience new things. My family decided not to give gifts and instead went on a Caribbean cruise. It was weird not celebrat- ing in the traditional way, but I had a great time, said sophomore Denise Seipel. 144 c© Expand Senior Amy Freczorwent to New York City over winter break where she went to a taping of Late Night with David Letterman.

The group was started this year and made their debut during a holiday concert at Anthony- Seeger Hall. Huang It was not uncommon to look down your dorm hallway after hearing the sound of the traditional tune Happy Birthday. Upon request, a student run group of SINGERS performed their unique rendition of the birthday tune to the music of the Hallelujah Chorus. This happy birthday singing telegram service was founded and directed by sophomore Sherlee Huang and is sponsored by the Keyboard Association of the School of Music. Members of this ser- vice come from a variety of different majors including business, ISAT, music education and health sciences. Although approximately 50 singers were in the group, only 16 sang at one time. Members would surround the person receiving the TELEGRAM and would serenade them. Afterwards, recipents were given an individualized happy birthday certificate and a round of applause. Junior Shannon Hoard, a member of the singing group said, Many people have taken advantage of our new singing group. It is not only a unique gift, but a chance to surprise and perhaps embarrass someone who is special to you on their special day. Happy birthday telegrams cost only five dollars and were popular with friends, families and faculty. Another NEW musical group that made its debut this year was the JMU A Cappella Singers. The group per- formed its first concert in Anthony-Seeger Hall. They performed a variety of holiday pieces includ- ing Silent Night and Deck the Halls. The group was composed of 23 singers who went through an extensive audition process. Sopho- more Lindsay Gray said, This ensemble has pro- vided many great opportunities to make new friends while doing what we like to do best.. .sing! Huang, founder of the group, said, I wanted to offer a positive and FULFILLING musical experience to motivated students who wanted to continue their interest in a madrigal-like ensemble. The introduction of both groups went to prove that if a club didn ' t already exist at JMU, stu- dents could always band together and start a new organization on their own.

The group charged five dollars to students and faculty members wishing to send a singing telegram to a friend. H ■ i P 1 ' l r ' ' £!

The store is located in downtown Harrisonburg along with several other stores which cater to student needs. Cannjtil When students refer to the town of Harrisonburg, it is almost as if they are talking about an ENTIRELY different world. Sophomore Reshma Shetrj ' said, Stepping off campus grounds is stepping into a completely different atmosphere. The location presents students with an array of activities. Once stu- dents start exploring the town, the ' soon find their favorite hang- outs. Freshman Lara Kra ' itz said, I enjoy getting off campus and going out to dinner with my friends. Just getting on the bus or walking somewhere different gives students a needed change of scener) ' . Sometimes my friends and I put on our rollerblades and skate downtown on a Saturday afternoon. We look in all the shops and end up finding really cool places, said sophomore Ken Scully. Many students journey to Kline ' s Dairy Bar for a cold treat on HOT da) ' s. Sophomore Kelly Uglialoro said, The home- made ice cream is delicious. I highly recommend Peanut Butter Chocolate. On weekends students enjoy relaxing, dancing, shopping and dining out. DOWNTOWN Harrisonburg offers JM ' s Bar and Grill, Dave ' s Taverna, Spanky ' s and The Little Grill. The Round-Up, a country-line DANC- ING place, gave lessons for the first hour and then played music for the remainder of the evening. I was actually amazed by how nice everyone there was to us. They were so eager to teach us new dances when we re- ally didn ' t have a clue, said sophomore Denise Seipel. There are various organizations that stu- dents are involved in which are specifically for the benefit of the Harrisonburg community. Some stu- dents VOLUNTEER at the hospital and in the schools. Junior Ashley Rosenvans said, I love working with the kids at Spotswood Elementary. It ' s hard to believe that we were ever that young. Being with the kids gives me somewhat of a real- ity check. It ' s not just classes and exams. The learning that goes on outside of the classroom is what benefits us most. 148-5 Expand i f Gwen A. Saner, Dietetics, Lewisburg, PA Leah B.

Hundreds of students and faculty members attended the party held on the third floor on Nov. 6. Warren Hall celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. Named in HONOR of Percy H. Warren, a former dean of Madi- son College, Warren Hall was completed in 1971 for use as a stu- dent activities center. It has offered many important rescources over the years and continues to house many JMU facilities includ- ing the bookstore, post office, information desk, box office, airport lounge, dining facilities, and many university offices and meeting rooms. The JMU community gathered on Nov. 6 to celebrate War- ren Hall ' s ANNIVERSARY. Dave Barns, associate director of the university center, said the motivation for the celebration was the campus center ' s value to the community. This building has meant so much to this college in terms of services it provides stu- dents — whether it is sitting in the lounge, checking mail or registering for classes, he said. According to Barnes, representatives from each of the eight offices presently centered in Warren Hall helped to organize the EVENT, which included selected memoribilia that was displayed in the Highlands Room and in the third-floor lobby from 2 to 4 p.m. At an awards ceremony held during the CELEBRATION, President Ronald Carrier noted that students are comfortable wdth the build- ing. Departments and buildings may come and go, but Warren Hall has always been focused on student services, he said. Student Government Association president David Baker presented framed pictures commemo- rating Warren Hall ' s 25 years to several honored guests including former directors of the university center, two of PERCY WARREN ' s daughters, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Freshman Scott Abbott agreed that Warren Hall is a valuable facility for the JMU community. It ' s a beautiful place and I hope it will be here for an- other 25 years, he said. The Warren family joined students and faculty in celebrating Warren Hall ' s 25 years. The hall was named after Percy H. Warren, a former dean of the college, in 1971. People-- 151 Class of Mr. and Ms. ght Instead ofwonying about the weekend, they ' f e plaf ningfor their Iwes by Jacqueline Cook Seal it with a kiss! Aaron Linebcrger and Rachael Wood show each other how special they arc to one another. College was a time for de- V e 1 o p i n g many differ- ent types of relationships with people, including friendship and love. Boasting a population of over 12,000 students, JMU should be the prime place to meet that perfect someone, right? Not neces- sarily! I will be graduating in May, said senior Aiigie France, and, after four years, I have given up any hope of finding Mr. Right at JMU! There are a few success stories, however, and some COUPLES will be forever grateful to JMU for bringing them together, Niki Lindgren, a junior, met Craig Williams at the end of her freshman year and, on VALENTINES DAY, the couple celebrated two years of dating. I wasn ' t looking for anyone, says Lindgren. I believe that it ' s only when you ' re not looking that you find that special someone. Lindgren and Williams met at JMU through a mutual friend. Other couples, however, have actually met on TRIPS away MoUwih from school. Heather Kellihan met her fiance, Mike Fleck, at Virginia Beach, even though both were students at JMU. Kellihan, too, believes that you meet Mr. Right when you ' re not looking and when you least expect it! While meeting Mr. or Ms. Right at JMU is a major challenge, another obstacle occurs when one member of the perfect couple graduates. Both Williams and Fleck graduated from JMU last year and entered the job market. And, although both couples have stayed together and even grown CLOSER, major changes ensued. Lindgren and Kellihan both say it is easier now to concentrate on studies and get things accomplished. Lindgren believes that the indi ' idual growth she has experienced since Williams graduated has been beneficial to her and to their relationship. I don ' t think you can give to someone else until you know and feel good about yourself, Lindgren said. There are even some students whose special someone did not attend JMU but who have fond memories of special times spent here. Susanne Dobrick, a senior, was here with her boyfriend, Chip Beasley, on New Year ' s Eve, when he took her to Newman Lake, got down on his knees and PROPOSED to her. JMU wiU always be ex- tremely special to me for that reason, Dobrick says. I ' ll never forget that night. Tara Broce and Todd Borchers tie the knot. College is a time for many students to meet their lifelong mate. While some students found their soulmate right away, others spent all four years shopping around for thai perfect someone to grow old with. 152 - Expand Brant E.

Half the fijn of most road trips was simply getting to and from the ultimate destination. For most students returning to campus each fall is an EIXCITING experience. They are happy to be back in the ' Burg, sleeping in the airport lounge or just hanging out on the Quad. But as weeks pass, tests come and go, work begins to pile up and the tension continues to build. There comes a time when all stu- dents want to do is HIT THE ROAD. My room is so small that the walls start to close in on me and I have to hightail it out of town, said sophomore Whitney MacDougal. Road tripping is an integral part of any student ' s college EIXPERIENCE. In most cases students need to escape from their troubles whether it ' s a big test or a psycho roommate. An- other motivation for road trips was the chance to see friends from other schools. Some of the most popular destinations for weekend ° ' ' TRIPS were UVa., Virginia Tech, Radford and Washington, D.C. When the weather warmed up and students wanted a little slice of sunshine, Virginia Beach and Ocean City became the hot destinations. Long distance love was also a big motivation when it came to traveling. My boyfriend lives in Richmond so I GO there a lot to see him. It is hard on my old car to make so many Jonathan ' JHpHMBFTISBB flBH W BI B ti ' ips but it would be harder on me if I never got to see him, said junior Amy Doran. Concerts, festivals and other special events gave students an excuse to get out of town. The Foxfield races in Charlottesville always drew a big crowd rain or shine. Each year a few ADVEN- TUROUS souls made the 22-hour drive to col- lect beads at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. No matter where they were headed, most students agreed that half the fun of road tripping was the ride itself. Good friends, good tunes and a 32-ounce caffeinated beverage helped make any journey enjoyable. Kodflck, Carrie Schiff, Mike White, Sandra Wright, Ben Finkelstein and Suzanne Hecht pose for a photo while hiking trails off of Skyline Drive. The scenic Valley gave students numerous places to take day trips. People ? 155 Getting Mail J rom love letters to bills, students eagerly awaited the postman ' s afiival by Christine Ragosta HiifiilUIIII ' miiii James Nichols bends down to open his post office box. Students were assigned a mail box during freshman oreiniation. Mail and packages were delivered to boxes throughout the day. Ahhh, college... You ' re on your own. Every decision is up to you. You have no curfew. All the mail in your mailbox is ad- dressed to YOU! As a freshman away from home for the first time, the daily trips to the mailbox was an important LINK to the outside world. IVe got a girlfriend who lives in Colorado. We rely on mail to keep our relationship alive, said Logan McGuire. Newsy letters from home also helped many students assauge the pangs of home- sickness. PACKAGE slips posed exciting posibilites as well. Cookies, beverage, books, CDs and other assorted items made students anxiously await care packages from home. My sister sent me Drakes ' coffeecakes imported all the way from Connecticut. They were somewhat stale, but not yet moldy, said Molly Pohlig. Students anxious to get mail sometimes had complaints about the JMU postal service. It takes a long time to get mail from home. While it should take only a day or two, it takes four days for my mom ' s mail to get to me, said Raymond Carey. In early October the university gave control of JMU postal services to a private firm in hopes of making the mail service more EFFICIENT. In addition to traditional mail, students kept up with friends and family through e-mail. I love e-mail. It is so mush easier than sending real mail, said Brian Harris. There is nothing better than logging on to Simeon and finding 20 new messages. I am from Ohio and have friends at lots of different schools. E-mail allows us to KEEP IN TOUCH on a daily basis, said sophomore Denise Seipel. Overall, mail was something all students loved — except when the it meant the arrival of that months bills. Students wait in line at the JMU post office located in Warren Hall. The post office processed all student and departmental mail. The window was open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and was often the sight of long lines of lucky students awaiting a care package from home. 156 c© Expand Ryan L.

Dining services made moves to protect the environment by requiring students to purchase plastic take-out containers. The containers were recalled in January, however, and replaced by paper products. What is one of the most important aspects of daily life at JMU? Eating of course! JMU ' s Dining Services provided a vari- ety of intersting, new places to EAT on campus. For those with a taste for Mexican food, Amigos was lo- cated in the Highlands Room in Warren Hall. During fall se- mester, Amigos served tacos, chili, and other foods. Amigos was a great break from D-Hall and Dukes, said freshman Erick Borda. MARKET ONE opened at the beginning of the spring semester. It offered a variety of items in a food-court set- ting. Due to the overwhelming popularity of PC Dukes, Line 1 of Gibbons Hall was designated to house the new facility. The Healthy Choice gourmet deli served fresh deli sandwiches. The Casa Ortega served up tacos, burritos, nachos and taco salads for those with an appetite for Mexican, and Stone Willy ' s Pizza pro- mou m vided customerswith gourmet pizzas. The one downside many students found was that a punch was not accepted at Market One. Dining Services delivered up fresh, hot pizza to satisfy those late night cravings. PIZZA PEDDLERS hiked all across campus, even to Howard Johnson ' s and the new Blue Ridge Hall, providing hand-tossed pies until 1 a.m. Students could pay for their pizza with cash, Dining Dollars or FLEX. Sophomore Laurin Askew, a delivery person for Pizza Ped- dlers, said, ' The worst part about delivering is after driving in the freezing cold or in the rain, the customers dig for pocket change as a tip. MEGABYTES, located in the heart of the CISAT campus, was available for quick snacks between classes. Because of the distance of ISAT from the main campus. Mega- bytes provided hot dogs, bagels and other items for students who did not have the time to get back to lower campus. While D-Hall and PC Dukes will likely remain the most popular places to eat on campus, Amigos, Market One, Pizza Peddlers and Megabytes quickly became favorites among all students. Ordering a plate of Macho Nachos from Market One, senior Sean Mahal uses one of the many dining options on campus.

People c 159 ' Play Pick- Jp bunch offiiends, a Sunday afte?noon, a nniddy field ... pick-up game by Mitchell Vakerics Winding up, this student pitches during a friendly game of baseball. Although pick-up games were not recorded in halls of fame, the play could quickly turn into a heated competition. When classes started to overwhelm students, many took a break and let OFF STEAM by playing a pick-up game at UREC. UREC offered three courts solely for basketball, the most popular pick-up game. These courts were always available for use in the main gym during UREC operational hours. Bradley Petty, coor- dinator of intramural sports and open recreation at UREC, said that the busiest time for pick-up basketball games at UREC was from 5 to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday. Students who came to play dur- ing those hours often had to wait for a court, but most students agreed it was worth the wait. There are many advantages to playing pick-up games over intramural sports. Intramural sports require a higher level of skill than pick-up games do. JMU students seemed to have an unwritten rule concerning skill level for pick-up basketball games at UREC, Petty said. Court three was reserved for COMPETITIVE PLAY, court four was for neutral play and court one was an overflow of both mediocre and competitive play. Petty said, If you ' re not a very good basketball player, you can still play pick-up games. You also didn ' t have to come with a TEAM already formed. Some students did, but more often than not they had to split up to play. Sophomore Ryan Rees said, It ' s fun play- ing pick-up games with your friends and compet- ing against other people. However, most par- ticipants in pick-up games played for fun and were not overly concerned with winning. UREC employed recreation assistants who were responsible for montioring pick-up games. Their duties included supervising PICK-UP GAMES for fights and keeping objects off the playing floor. These were entry-level, paying po- sitions for freshmen and sophomores. UREC also offered volleyball, indoor soc- cer and hockey pick-up games and boasted an out- door lighted astroturf field for flag football games. Sophomore Ryan Delaney said, Ifrm up- set about seomthing, I go to UREC and play bas- ketball. It usually makes me feel a lot better. These students play a muddy game of football. Rainy days were a perfect opportunity to go out and play. Pick-up games were also a terrific opportunity to meet new people. New friendships were being formed every day in the fields and on the courts. 160 ci? Expand Allison J. Berger Peter A. Berger Dara L. Blankenship Barbara J. Blanset Deborah A. Bosher Melissa C.

Late night and weekend hours helped those in need of medical assistance at all times. There probably isn ' t a student on campus who hasn ' t woken up one morning feeling a little under the weather. A SORE THROAT, a splitting headache or a stuffed-up nose can all make for a lousy day. Most of these are minor sicknesses that were cleared up with a good night ' s rest. However, sometimes that nagging cough or congested head just wouldn ' t go away. Without mom around, what was an ailing college student to do? Throughout the school year many students found their way to the campus HEALTH CENTER. According to registered nurse, Terry Knicely, they could see 150 to 200 students on a busy day. The most common complaint was a sore throat. Freshman Lauren Peacock was one of those sore throat suffers who paid a visit to the health center. When I had a sore throat, I went to the health center and got it checked out. I found it very helpful. The nurse made sure it was nothing serious and then gave me the right medi- cine and advice on how to CARE for myself, said Peacock. Typically, most patients were sent home with Sudafed and Tylenol or Advil to clear up minor aches and pains or a common cold. Many students assume the only function of the health center was to see sick patients. However, it was also a great place to find answers to health questions. The health education program was based out of the health center and was responsible for many of the programs students see on campus. Outreach programs such as Alcohol Awareness Week and AIDS Awareness Week are both sponsored by the health education program. Nancy Grembi, assistant director of health edu- cation and promotion, said, HEALTH EDU- CATION helps students become aware of posi- tive lifestyle choices that enhance healthy Uving and well-being — not just now but forever. Stu- dents could also seek out peer educators at the health center to discuss concerns. The health center provided students with a place to go to take care of aU of their health needs. When students found themselves away from home with no doctor or mom ' s CHICKEN SOUP, the health center provided a place for reassurance and a remedy for anjthing from a cold to strep throat. People 163 Reading the health material distributed by the Health Center, senior Janelle Mudge and a iend try to find the best way to cope with the added stress of finals week.

What ' s the best thing about spending four years atJM ? bv Leah Bailey Dr. Carrier has been a friendly face on campus for 26 yean. His constant drive and vision have been helping make JMUthe ultimate university. On any given day, we all seem to have something to complain about. Yet while Duke ' s and D-Hall may be too crowded to move in and while the smell from nearb} ' chicken farms may cause us to choke, there is so much more to JNIU that gives it its character. The things that give a school its true IDENTITY are its people and their lives. For junior Kimberlee Perrv ' , the people at JMU is one reason she chose to come here. Ever ' one is so friendly. It was the first thing I noticed when I came to isit. ' ' Jenny Rogers, a sophomore, said what attracted her was the ' ariet ' of students. There ' s so many different people, all from different backgrounds with differ- ent personalities. There aren ' t any major cliques and no one is the same. Many students find the surrounding atmosphere and attitudes to be their FAVORITE characteristic. JMU has a small school feel despite being so huge, said freshman Jeff Morris. Junior Chris- shu i tina Emerson enjoys the atmosphere because there ' s such a great balance between academics, athletics and social life. Freshman Christy Haven agreed, adding that even though it ' s a party school, it ' s cool because you ' re always partying with smart people. Many students find happiness in some of the simpler things. The CAMPUS itself is a favorite of many. A resident ofWayland Hall, junior Becky Rehm finds the view of sunsets from her window to overcompensate for the loud trains passing by. really love the sunsets on the Quad with the light reflecting on the old build- ings. Sophomore Mandy Bradley also dted the Quad as a favorite thing, particularly when it ' s been snow- ing, as well as the newly-installed fountain in Newman Lake. In fact, Bradley likes so much about the school that she got a volunteer job as a Student Ambassador for it. In addition to the scenery and grounds, Bradley finds pleasure in Mrs. Green ' s, pep- permint parties in the vending machine and the ab roUers at UREC. Amy Hans, a sophomore, noted the variety of available cereal at D-Hall as a major plus for her, and junior Rachel Roswal mentioned Taylor Down Under as her favorite place. While we often can get annoyed with some of our pet peeves at JMU, the positive far outweighs the negative in every category. A professor holds class out on the Quad on a beautiful fall day. Many students sighted JMU ' s excellent faculty as the best thing about JMU. Most professors were very willing to give extra help and tried to make class a fiin learning experience. 164 c© Expand Owen Harleman Adriane J. Harris Leslie M. Hartzell Jennifer A.

Many students took advantage of special student rates to the Carhbean and On a COLD winter day, students usually quickly shuffled their way to class. But on the last Wednesday in February, even the cold mist outside couldn ' t dampen the spirits of students who were anxiously counting down the minutes until Spring Break. Spring Break HYPE began in early November when colorful flyers with pictures of tropical beaches Uttered the bulle- tin boards around campus. Students were PROMISED dream vacations in exotic locations at special student rates. Southern Florida, the BAHAMAS, Cancunand Ja- maica were among the more popular destinations. Eight of us piled into two cars and were on our way to Panama City, said junior Renee Macri. We had such a great time laying on the beach and dancing in the clubs. We were lucky that it was warm and sunny all week. Making PLANS, finding enough money and making down payments were just some of the HASSLES that some had to deal with. It was a little annoying trying to coordinate the money and transportation. After we got there, though, and stuck our feet in the white sand, I knew that it was all worth it. Some students were not lucky enough to have LUXURIOUS plans for the week-long holiday. I was sup- posed to go to Florida with my roommate, but a week before break my wisdom teeth started ach- ing so I had to go home and get them taken out instead. It wasn ' t my idea of a GREAT time. I couldn ' t wait to get back to school, said sopho- more Keri Scully. Other students made plans to return home for the week. I needed a break from everything. I just wanted to sit back and enjoy the power of ha ' ing my own REMOTE CONTROL, said sophomore Ryan Green. Despite the varying plans, most can agree that Spring Break was a time for relaxing and enjoying the much needed vacation. Some students used their free week to help others. Members of Habitat for Humanity and local church organizations often traveled to destina- tions all over the United States to help build homes for the needy.

The university does not allow freshmen to have cars on campus. While a few chosen first-year students found ways to circumvent that RULE, most freshmen had to become reaccustome d to life without a car. I miss my car so much. I miss being able to go for long drives and listen to some good music while the wind whips my hair around, said freshman Missy McDonnell. Many upperclassmen were also PLAGUED by not having a car at school. My younger sister and I share a car, so when I go away to school she gets to keep it at home, said sophomore Keri Scully. Students without cars had to rely on friends or the Harrisonburg TRANSIT System to get around in the ' Burg. I really depend on my friends a lot to go places. It ' s hard though because if I need to do a Wal-Mart run I have to wait until someone else needs to before I can HITCH a ride, said sophomore Matthew Thomas. I hate having to depend on the bus be- cause I ' ve never been able to figure out the sched- ule. I tried to go to the mall once and got on the wrong bus. I ended up on the other side of Harrisonburg. I was so confused, said sophomore Tyler Stevens. I The ride board also helped many students without cars to get home, visit friends or simply ESCAPE from Harrisonburg. Most students tilled out white cards requesting a destination and a travel date.

Many students with an artistic flare decorated their dorm rooms and apartments with murals and doodles that showed ofif their personality. For many students their DOMICILE at JMU becomes their home away from home. In order to make dorm rooms or apartments feel as comfortable and cozy as home, many students personalized their living space in one way or another. Whether it was painting or drawing on the walls, hanging posters, or bringing favorite mementos that little piece of home could always change the feeling of a room. We brought these really COMFY chairs because we knew we would have room in our quad. It made things more clut- tered and SQUISHY, so we felt more secure, said sophomore Jen Hamrock. Many students decorated their rooms for different holiday seasons. Together we decorated our suite with all kinds of holiday accents. It made us feel like we ' re at HOME, and the group effort helped us to get over our homesickness, said sophomore Melissa Reed. Many people gave dorm rooms an added SPARKLE by painting or drawing on the walls. It ' s nice to come into my suite and see my name on the wall along with all of the pictures drawn by my friends Our walls have a little bit of everyone ' s PERSONALITY, said freshman Courtney Miller-Jones. Other students put up posters or favorite sayings. Qualities of all of us are represented on our door by quotes and favor- ite words that we hung up, said sophomore Meaghan Wilds. Some students had trouble finding that PERFECT thing to make their place a homey environment. For the first six weeks of school we couldn ' t find anything we really wanted to put up in our apartment. We sat around so depressed because we were always staring at blank walls. Thank God the poster sale finally came and we hung some beautiful Monet prints, said junior Amanda Schell.

After spending two years at a private school in North Carolina and completing her junior and senior vears at JMU, she wiU be attending UVa. Law School in the fall of 1997. by Laurie Butts Over 500 transfer students began their college lives anew this year. Most transfer students cited discontent with their former school as the number one reason for changing schools. Many transfers also noted JMU ' s academic REPUTATION, location and relatively inexpensive tuition as reasons for a switch. JMU seemed to offer a lot more than the private school I was going to, said senior Brooke Atkinson. James Newton said, I felt I could receive just as good an education at JMU as at Wake Forest, but with less financial STRAIN on my family Transferring always involved a little hassle and a lot of heartache. Students are placed in a new en ironment, guided only by a short orientation and expected to ADAPT to differ- ent classes, teachers and students. Sophomore Kristen Miles said the transition was prett) ' smooth despite having to fmd an off-campus apartment. Due to the overcrowding in on- campus housing, transfers are not guaranteed housing. To help transfers get acquainted and fit in at JMU, a special luncheon was held on Aug. 30. The event allowed transfers to get to know one another so that there were some FAMILIAR faces around campus right from the start. A lot of transfers credited friendly-faced JMU with their speedy adjustment. You are so unsure of what ' s happening. My roommate helped me the most. Even when she didn ' t have an answer for me, she helped point me where I needed to go, recalled junior Jen Saunders. Despite their DISTINCT former college ex- periences, the JMU Counseling Center offered a group in which transfers could get together and discuss common interests and concerns. JMU has a 91.5 percent rate of return which proves that most transfer students settle in quickly and are HAPPY to call JMU home for the remainder of their college years. Jen Saunders and freshman Lindsay Evans pose for a picture during a party. Saunders transfered om a community college outside Philadelphia.

Members of athletic teams, the Honors Program and RA ' s were given the opportunity to register early for classes. Two of the scariest words in the JMU language are phone registration. At freshman orientation, registration is easy. The uni- versity preregisters students for classes. Freshmen just tell their ADVISERS what classes they want to take and the process is complete. But for the next seven semeters registration can be a whole different experience. Phone registration is a 15-day PROCESS in which ev- ery student gets a specific time to register based on credit hours and the last four digits of the social security number. Each session is given an index number which students enter in by phone. While phone registration eleminates the hassle of stand- ing in LONG LINES, like many students did in past genera- tions, it also had some disadvantages. Laurie Sanfillo said, The scariest part of phone registration is that you only get TWO phone calls, so if you mess up you ' re dead. The most frustrating aspect of the registration process for most students was not dealing with the telephone, but with the DREADED feeling of hearing, Sorry that section is ftdl. Certain classes were known to be impossible to get into until entering students reached senior-year status. Getting any class at a good time was also diffi- cult. I always end up with 8 o ' clocks. I hate morn- ings so much, but that is the only time I can ever registered for classes, said sophomore Randy Jenkins. One of the biggest STEPS in registration is deciding what classes to register for. Students struggled to find a balance between getting teach- ers and times they wanted. Students exchanged notes on which teachers were best to get, which courses were nightmares and which courses were great experiences. There are just so many factors to consider. What teacher? What time? Will this course count for GRADUATION? It can be really over- whelming, said senior Aimee Fradette. People c® 175 Taking good notes, these students participate in a Hall Program titled The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which discussed professors.

The inexpensive tickets and Uvely atmosphere had students lining up hours before a showing, Grafton- Stovall Theater hosted manywonderful lectxires and presentations throughout the year, but it was BEST known for its movies. Although some people grumbled at the beginning of the year because ticket prices increased from $1.50 to two dollars, students soon discovered that their money was being well spent on a new 35mm projector which replaced the 16mm one Grafton- Stovall had been using. Sophomore James Bilgihan said the best thing about Grafton- StovaU was the DIVERSITY of films. We have everything from art fdms to major blockbusters to the free Sunday night English de- partment fdms, he said. As in past years, the movies at Grafton-Stovall followed a specific weekly format. The theater showed past blockbusters on cmw u Tuesday and Wednesday nights; art fdms, foreign fdms and cult favorites on Thursday nights; and current blockbusters on Friday and Saturday nights. The English department selected the FREE Sunday night movies in conjunction with fdm classes it offered. Once familiar with the format, students quickly discovered a favorite day to go to the movies. The Friday and Saturday films were especially POPULAR. Sophomore Sara Simberg said she liked the new movies I didn ' t get to see in the theater — and for only two dollars! Sophomore Brad Bishop preferred some of the lesser known and older fdms. The Thursday night films often don ' t run in BIG theaters, so un- less you live in a city near an art theater, you often don ' t get to see them untd they come out on video, he said. Bishop also enjoyed the Sunday films. You get to see an old movie on the big SCREEN that you would have missed because you were so young when it came out.

The tables, set up on The Commons and in The Village, were designed to give students a first glimse at Greek life. Fraternity rush was much less formal. Rush was one of the most important events of the Greek year. Rush was the time in which social, professional and service sororities and fraternities begin the INDUCTION process of new members. This year fall rush lasted from Sept. 4-10 for the eight so- rorities on campus. Normally, sororities allow 500 girls to partici- pate, but due to the increased number of freshmen, 700 girls were participated this year. Rush consisted of orientation, three ROUNDS of house visits, preference night and then finally bid night. For many rushees, the favorite part of the process was get- ting to meet so many people. Sophomore Kathy Selgas said, The best thing is to go into rush with an OPEN mind because each sorority is completely different than anything you have ever heard. During rush students were aided by Rho Chis. These women guided the rushees through the entire process. During the week of rush Rho Chis stayed in a local hotel so that they could be available to rushees at all times and so that there was no bias toward any one sorority. Fraternity rush is very different from so- rority rush. While the two are held concurrently in the fall, most fraternities also hold rush in the spring. Instead of rushing all fraternities, men are allowed to rush only one, therefore each frater- nity holds its own rush events. While SOCIAL fraternities and sorori- ties play a large role on the campus, professional, service, and honor fraternities also play an impor- tant part. Sophomore Pam Haraway said that she chose a professional fraternity because it incor- porated both social and professional EVENTS. Rush for professional, service and honor fraterni- ties usually occurred in both the fall and the spring. This group of students poses for a picture. Sorority pledges wore colored ribbons and T-shirts that advertised their love for their new sisters. Sorority rush was a formal process that took place only in the fall.

The hill was the perfect place to grab a bite to eat while watching all the people passing by. In the winter the hill also became a popular place to go sledding. i As you enter and leave D-hall, do you feel those beady little eyes PRESSED against the back of your neck? Turning your head towards the heat of those eyes will lead you in the direc- tion of the hill. There you will find JMU students resting con- spicuously, trying to hide the fact that they are staring at you. Students on the HILL often seem to be studvang, eating or socializing; however, what they are really doing is observing and CRITIQUEING your unique style. Freshman Sue Debernandis said that her favorite thing to do is to pick up a sub from Door 4 if the weather is nice and sit on the hiU to relax and scope out the people and what they are wear- ing. There are also students SCOPING The Commons for future perspective dates. Sophomore Taylor Pace said, I go up on the hill to do homework, but I never get anything done because I start looking at all the good looking girls. The hill is the ideal spot because nobody notices these spies. Others like to WATCH for classmates and get to know them better. Names are constantly YELLED out to beckon friends to join others on the hill. I won ' t call out to people but when my friends yell my name I ' m tempted to skip class, sophomore Mona Railan admitted. It ' s a SOCIAL relaxing and quiet atmo- sphere. Whether it ' s to study others and their unique style, find future dates, or get to know their classmates better the hill is home to a LOT of people. No matter what time of day you will find many students there, maybe even a new FRIEND. Senior Charlie Enman summed it up by de- scribing the hill as a place to enjoy JMU and its surroundings! Students sitting on the cement benches and grassy knolls on The Commons watch as cbss mates walk by. The Commons area was often packed between classes and during lunchtime as friends met up with one another. 180 c© Expand Tory K. Jenkins Lisa D.Jensen Amy L. Jester Jeff S. Johnson Jennifer H.

This freshman dorm tried to raise funds for a local charity. Hall programs were often put on by resident advisors and individual hall councils. Most on-campus students are aware of their resident advisor ' s disciplinary duties, but not all of them know that each semester RAs are also required to plan seven PROGRAMS which represent the seven components of the wellness circle — social, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, fiinctional, physical and vocational. Developing programs can be challenging. Senior Matt Sturtevant, a third-year RA, said that the McGraw-Long Hall staff BRAIN STORM ED on programs during staff meetings. It is important to hit on issues people are familiar with, he said. Because each program requires a lot of preparation, they couldn ' t be throwTi together at the last minute. RAs had to request things like money for pizza or supplies from Wal-Mart and sometimes schedule a speaker. Then they had to advertise the program about a week in advance. One of the programs Sturtevant was most proud of was the Candellight Vigil for World AIDS Day that he and several other groups on campus ORGANIZED. It was something that we felt very positive about, something that has become an annual eventand I hope it will continue, he said. Senior Lisa French, an RA in Hoffman Hall, said that publicity was key. She sometimes held her programs in the lobby to attract people coming in and going out of the building. Al- though programming was hard work, French said that it was one of the main reasons she became an RA. When people show up, you know what you ' re doing is WORTHWHILE, she said. French said that the ftin and artistic programs were the most popular. In addition to providing unity within the halls, programs also helped students to relax and have fun. Sophmores Laura Roder and Page Slusser said that they especially enjoyed the exer- cise, meditation, MASSAGE, and playdough programs in Logan Hall this year. Roder said that hall programs help you to relax. Residents of Howard Johnson ' s show their stuff ' during a hall talent contest. Hall programs were designed not only to help buUd community within the hall, but also to educate students in areas such as health and and emotional well being.

Class of by Liz Thompson There is no easier way to cure home- sickness than a little quality time with the parents. This student and her mother enjoy spending time together during Parent ' s Weekend held during the fall semester. Freshmen arrive each year eager to explore a new environ- ment, to shed their high school images and begin what they are told are the best years of their lives. After lofts are assembled, last minute trips to Wal-Mart are completed and hugs have been exchanged, students are left feeling very ... alone. For a week or two the independence is great. You order pizza at 2 a.m. and stay out all night. But sooner or later many freshmen find themselves with a sense that something is missing. The homesickness bug finally bites. I don ' t know of anyone who wasn ' t a little miserable the first month or so. Everything familiar is miles away from where you are, said sophomore Denise Seipel. Most freshmen compensated for their sudden loss by checking their mailboxes three times a day, writing coundess e-mails to other homesick friends and running up telecom bills that rival the national debt. Sometimes it wasn ' t even mom and dad who were missed the most. I missed my boyfriend the most, said freshman Lindsay Evans. I missed my dog a lot, said freshman Cindi Walters. What is the best cure for homesickness? Most upperclassmen cited getting involved in an activity as the best method for beating the home- sick blues. I ' ve been keeping busy, said fresh- man Colleen Courtney. Now I feel at home here because I have commitments. Talking with other students who are experiencing the same feelings also helped. I was sitting in my room feeling like no one around me would understand, but once I got to know the girls who lived around me I real- ized that we were all feeling the same way, said freshmen Nicole Lewis. Homesickness was not for freshmen. Up- perclassmen were occasionally hit by a twinge of the blues. I feel sad on my birthday because I ' m not with my family, said junior Amanda Smith. Finding a quiet place on Kissing Rock, this student takes some time to think about home. Although many now call Harrisonburg home, the longing for a home-cooked meal and a little sibling rivalry creeps in every now and then. 184 c© Expand April A. Pish SaUi L. Pool Ray Pottes Maggie E.

Due to overcrowding in freshmen dorms, many first-year students were housed in halls located directly on the Quad. You walk out of D-Hall after lunch. Suddenly bells and whistles are going off. Did you win something? No, you ' ve just exited through the fire exit and now you ' ve announced to the en- tire place that you ' re a freshman. One of the required parts of being a freshman is being clueless. You can be sure that the poor girl who set off the fire alarm will never do it again. Freshmen are usually pretty easy to spot early in the year. Freshman Chris Darren was reprimanded at the recreation center by a junior for spending too much time on a piece of equip- ment. Ignorance of rules and policies was usually what led may freshmen astray. Kate Hedson said, I stood directly in front of Godwin Hall for twenty minutes one day before I realized you had to be at the bus stop in order to get picked up. For freshman Andy Carson ' s birthday he decided to have people over to hang out in his room. I got written up four times that night! he said. A general lack of familiarity with campus grounds caused some first-year students headaches. Freshmen Meghan Nichols and Meredith Leporati seemed to have a bit of trouble differentiating between residence halls in the Hillside area. We live in McGraw-Long, but we kept going into Bell thinking we were in the right place, Nichols said. Once freshmen learned their way around they quickly blended in with the rest of the stu- dent body. Once the initial embarrassment had passed, the follies of freshmen year became some- thing to laugh about and look back on as on of the first memorable moments of college life. Sophomore Debbi Ensfield remembered one of the silliest things she did during her fresh- men year. I sat through an entire lecture before I realized that I was in the wrong class, she said. Leave it to me to be the only person at JMU who goes to more classes that I am supposed to. Lacing up their skates, these freshmen join their friends at Skatetown USA on Dukes Night. For only one dollar, a student can rent skates or rollerblades and skate with friends until midnight every Monday night.

After their first year, members ot the the class of 2000 have akeady started calling JMU home. It was hard to come in at first, but once I got here and settled in, I decided this place pretty much rocks, said Rebecca Vogelmann. Making; theTRANSITION into their new home, how- ever, was not easy for some. We were on the fitth floor in Shorts and the elevator was broken on move-in day, said Lindsey Hodges. After moving themselves in, some freshmen found new, long-lasting friends within the comforts of their own residence hall. I consider myself LUCKY to have been put in the ' pent- house ' of Eagle, said Karen O ' Saben. My haUmates and I are real close, we do ever thing together. The class of 2000 has also DISCOVERED that there is more to JMU than just going to classes. I was overwhelmed when I first took the UREC tour, it ' s an amazing complex, said Hodges. JMU, however, also has its share of disturbances. I have lost count of the number ot mornings that I have been awakened by the BEEPING of the JMU vehicles, said Virginia Almond. Stephanie Low and Christ) ' Waggoner recalled the time when they waited at the mall for the bus to come, while it was snowing. After standing outside for several hours, a Wal-Mart employee graciously gave them a ride back to cam- pus. We think that Wal-Mart employee is a saint, said Low. Freshmen year not only meant new friends and fond MEMORIES, for some it was also a year marked by personal growth. I was very shy upon entering JMU, but as the year progressed I became more outgoing, said Hodges. With GROWTH, however, came growing pains, including how not to do laundry Don ' t ever wash reds with whites, said Alison Flora. They come out pink. This student takes a snooze in her dorm room. Members ot the class ot 2000 had to learn how to make an 11 by 14 foot room, home. They also had to learn how to cope with the demanding schedule of college life. Sometimes taking a nap was the only way to cope . 188 - Expand Agata Watanabe Alina B. Webb Courtney L. Weeks Andrea M. Weinberg Jeanette H. Welsh Tarah E. Wheelbarger AlUson B. White Blair E.

On November 2, JMU hosted its FIRST Freshman Par- ents Day - and its last, according to Glenda Rooney, Assistant Vice-President of Parent and External Relations. Freshman Parents Day was exciting, Rooney said, but we just did not have the numbers we expected. Those who did come loved it. Freshman Parents Day, held two weeks after Parents Week- end, was an attempt to give freshman and their parents some im- portant, SPECIALIZED information that they may not have received during Parents Weekend. Also, Rooney said, Harrisonburg can never accomodate all of the PARENTS who want to attend Parents Weekend. She had hoped that Freshman Parents Day might be helpfial to some of those parents who had no place to stay for Parents WEEKEND. Jessie Drieman, a freshman whose parents did not come to Freshman Parents Day, said My parents did not come because they had just been here two weeks earlier for Parents Weekend. And the week after that, I went home for Fall Break. Two weekends in a row with the folks was plenty! For freshman Matthew Burnett, however. Freshman Parents Day provided an opportunity for him to spend time with his parents, who had not come to JMU for the EARLIER Parents Weekend, but were able to make the drive for the day. It was good to see my parents, Burnett said. Unlike Parents Weekend, which showcases things like FOOD services and musical groups. Freshman Parents Day provided a departmental fair, workshops for undeclared majors, and pro- grams on academic advising and career services. According to Rooney, all of the programs received POSITIVE feedback . The parents ot tresh- man have different needs from those of older stu- dents and also have many new things to learn, so the information provided on this day was well- received. The problem, however, is that there were not as many parents as expected, to take advan- tage of these programs. So, while the parents who did attend Fresh- man Parents Day learned a great deal of valuable information, the JMU administration also learned Students and parents watch as the Dukes take on North- eastern. While the footbaU game was normally a popular event on parents weekend, tlic rainy weather at Freshmen Parents Weekend forced some to move their plans inside. luabl e lessonl People - 191 Class of 2000 Jiiping atJ-{qfo Opercrowding caused 170 fresJv nan to callJiowardJoJinson ' s home by Mitch Vaicerics The sign out in front of Howard Johnson welcomes first year students to their new home away from home. The inn accomodated 170 freshmen and helped alleviate the overcrowding on campus. Over the summer, students anxiously waited to hear which dormitor ' they would be li ing in for their first year at JMU. When that envelope from JMU finally arrived, some students received a big surprise ... the ' received their living assignment: the HOWARD JOHNSON ' S Hotel. Freshman Carolyn Keating said, At first I didn ' t want to live there at all and I really hated it, but then I really started to lo ' e it. Living off campus for their first year could be quite nerv ' e wracking for the inexperienced freshmen. Anne Larus said, We just came from the comforts of HOME and we weren ' t given any time to gradually get used to the college experience. We had to learn how to take the bus to classes which is especiallv difficult when the majority of our classes are eight in the morning. Although these freshman mav have missed out on the typical campus experience, they lived in large, carpeted rooms with a BALCONY and own bathroom. They also received MAID SERVICE once a week, free HBO and were permitted to have a car for their first year. Hojo ' s was much like a t) ' pical college dorm, complete with RA ' s on each floor, a study lounge, and message boards displayed on the outside of everyone ' s door. Each room accomodated three students. The constant buzz of Interstate 81 mbced with the tA ' pical laughter and music normally heard in a residence hall. Aaron Ritchey said, We have a good time here. It ' s something that bonds us all together. In the WARM MONTHS, when the fresh- men first arrived at JMU, it was easy to meet oth- ers living at the Howard Johnson ' s. The students were permitted to use the POOL. After classes, the pool deck was a popular site to meet other resi- dents. Students also left their doors open hoping some fresh faces would come in their room to get acquainted. Freshman Zen Iqbal said, It has its ups and downs, but mostly ups. Freshman Molly Ryan agreed saying, You get out of it what you put into it. It was really a blast! Unloading boxes full of items for his room, the fireshman begins adding personal touches to his new room in Hojo ' s. Students living in the hotel complex were given such pri ' iledges as maid senice and parking spots on the premises. 192 - Expand Jenny C. Coe Britt Cohen Risa M. Cohen Thomas J. Coleman Shaena A.

Oh Well! by Mitch Vakerics Devious JMU students used every possible technique to sneak into parties. Party CRASHERS were not alvi ays as stealthy as they thought they were. Some attempts to SNEAK into parties were noticeable and unsuccessful. Some of those who did sneak in were either lucky, or the person working the door was a little careless. The most popular method of sneaking into a party was the screen technique. After a group of four or five people had been admitted into the party room, the party crasher quietlv blended in behind the admitted group, using them as a screen. The infamous phrase, I ' ve already been into the party was a trick students were partial to. However, if they were not sweating and did not smell of BEER and cigarette smoke, the person at the door usually had an idea of the truth. Legal and cam- di minor markings, however, placed on the top of everyone ' s hand did hinder many students looking for an easv way in.

Orientation was a time for students to meet one another, while scheduling classes and taking placement tests. For most students, the first real experience ot the James Madison University community came from the time of freshman orientation. It could have be as long as four or five years ago, or as recent as a little over a year ago. INTRODUCTION to col- lege life at JMU began over two very warm, summer days. Because JMU welcomed one of the largest freshmen classes ever, almost 800 freshmen, orientation became a WHIRL- WIND of activity. Upon arrival in Harrisonburg, coundess in- formational programs, assessment tests, meetings and workshops were waiting. From meeting the dean of their respective college, to learning what a JAC card was, students were immersed in what it would be like to be a freshmen. After dinner, members of the theater department deliv- ered a SPIRITED presentation of The Illustrated Student Handbook. This entertaining program gave students a humorous Cantvjdi GLIMPSE into the lives of freshmen. Later in the evening, students had the opportunit} ' to ask candid questions about college life to their orientation assistant during the Lakeside Chat. For one night, new students got a teel tor what living with a roommate in a residence hall would be like. Freshmen were housed in the Village, in Chappelear and Frederikson Halls, during Orientation. Chris Campbell, a freshman, commented, Mv first impression was that is was so hot in Chappelear, it almost made it impossible to sleep. SCHEDULING and meeting with an academic advisor was a ven important part of ori- entation. To make the transition to college lite easier, students were provided a temporar ' sched- ule and could add or drop CLASSES the ' wanted to take. Orientation was not onlv tor freshman, transfer students also participated in the get-to- know-JNIU activities. While the college scene may not have been totallv difterent, JMU was a whole new world tor transfer students as well. I reallv had a great time during Orienta- tion, said treshman Erin Kelly. I knew that I had made the right decision about schools and that I was going to love n next tour } ' ears. Looking over the Schedule of Classes, these students try to decide which classes to take. Students were pre- registered for classes within their major, lessening the stress of finding open classes that are required for first-year students.

COCL helped students who chose to mox ' c offcampus with a variety of details hke UDAP contracts and signing leases. As the beginning ot April drew near, students opening their P.O. boxes twisted the combination dial with great anticipation and apprehension, not over FEAR of last month ' s telecom bal- ance, but over finding that other envelope inside — their housing lottery number. As early as December, students began the somewhat pain- fill PROCESS of trying to make hous ing arrangements for the following year. Who to live with and where, became the hot topic of conversation among many groups ot triends. As March slowly passed, students planning to stay on cam- pus kept their fingers crossed in HOPE of being high on the lotten ' list. Once the letters had been sent out the process went quickly. Students could look on the VAX bulletin board to see it the dorm of their choice was filled. We reall) ' wanted to live in Frederickson. We checked the c i-7«« bulletin board ever - hour and just watched helplessly as every room was taken, said sophomore Sheena Carleighson. For the CHOSEN few who did make the top of the list, the lottery system was still not always simple. I was so relieved when I got a great number, because I thought my roommate and I would have our choice ot residence halls. But, we ended up having huge FIGHTS because she wanted to live in Bluestones and I wanted to live in the Village. It we hadn ' t had so much to chose trom our decision would have been easier, said junior Paula Richards. 1 was so HAPP to have a great slot, but all my friends were so mean to me the whole couple weeks because they were so mad that their own numbers were so bad, aid junior Mandy Schell. Some people decided to try to find loop- holes in the system. Two of our friends got great numbers and my roomie and I got bad ones. So we planned a httle skeem. said sophomore Carrie TeUher. We switched roomates during the LOT- TERY so we all four got great rooms. Then on move-in day we told them we wanted to switch roommates! I couldn ' t believe it worked!

Although attending the same univer- sit ' , their busy schedules prevented them from spending as much time together as they would like. For many students, college was a time to leave home and make new friends, but for others it was also a time to strengthen old ties with people they had been CLOSE to for most of their lives — their siblings. Senior Gretchen Verrey said that she was excited when her brother Ray, a sophmore, came to JMU. He knew that I was having a good time here and he had friends here, she said. Gretchen said that one of the advantages of going to the same school was that when their parents came to visit, the whole FAM- ILY was together. Although Gretchen and Ray went to the same high school, Ray said that going to the same college is a very different EX- PERIENCE. In high school, we had the same friends and saw each other everyday. Now we have to make plans to see each other, he explained. Ray and Gretchen tried to get together at least once a week for dinner. Susie and Christine Cosby are not only sisters, but also twins and they LIVE together. Christine transferred to JMU from Mary Washington College. She said that having Susie here helped her to adjust because transfer stu- dents must find their own housing and knew some girls who were looking for an off-campus roommate. It is different from high school because they don ' t have classes together at JMU. If we didn ' t live together, we probably wouldn ' t see each other, said Christine. Both Susie and Christine said that hving TOGETHER at college wasn ' t much different from living together at home. We still have seperate rooms, explained Susie. The biggest drawback for the Cosby ' s was that the sisters couldn ' t see each other graduate because they received their degrees trom difter- ent colleges and the ceremonies were held at the same time. Their disappointment was further evidence that family TIES are strong at JMU. Desmond and Derek Wilson, twins, share a quiet moment on the Quad. Attending the same college gave brothers and sisters a way to grow even closer. The shared experience of college life was something they carried with them througliout life.

Every year on FEB. 14 students go out of their way to share their feelings and express their love for that someone spe- cial. Nothing beats Valentine ' s Day, junior Brandon Har ' ev said. For 364 days of the year you just know that _ ' ou have some- one SPECIAL, but on Feb. 14 you show them just how special they are to you. Freshman Jenn Chapman agreed, Aside from m}- Birth- day, Valentine ' s Day is my favorite day of the year. Although VALENTINE ' S DAY is a good time to tell your significant other how you feel, it should not be the only time, according to freshman Susan Womack. It ' s a good time to do something nice, but you should do something nice every day of Mdrwiti the year and not just this one winter day, Womack said. While Valentine ' s Day holds a special place in the hearts of some students, others look at it as just another day. My roommates always cry and complain about how lonely they ' ll be on Valentine ' s Day, said junior Nicole Steffey. 1 just don ' t understand why people get so upset over a holiday card stores invented. I ' ve dated the same guy for SIX YEARS - 1 don ' t get anything and I don ' t care. Unlike Halloween and the Fourth of July, holidays that are celebtated annually with enthu- siasm, Valentine ' s Day is not always eagerly awaited by every student. All these glassy-eyed people running around talking about LOVE, freshman Colleen Courtney said. It makes me sick. Even for students who have someone to celebrate the day with, Valentine ' s Day isn ' t al- ways a big deal. AI BO TRIEND took me out to din- ner which was ni ce but it could have been any night of the year, junior Kelly Kenneally said. Despite how individual students fell abou;t Valentine ' s Day, decorations and increased flower sales in the Burg proves that love is definitely in the air. Displaying candies, cards and gifts for Valentine ' s Day, the Bookstore oftercd students with a variety oi gift options for that special someone.

Jhr others, just anotlier day of test taking by ERIN BiNNEY On Feb. 18, 1997, JMU canceled classes not because of snow or flooding, but for Assessment Day. Freshmen and juniors had the day off, while sophomores and some seniors were assigned one of two testing times according to their social security num- bers. The tests measured a variety of things from academic sub- jects to personal GROWTH. Junior Rosalind Morris was happy with her sleep day this year. However, she vividly remembered the tests she took last year — all essay, she said. Morris added that assessment testing can be frustrating because you never see the RESULTS so you don ' t know the purpose. Dr. T. Dary Erwin, director of student assessment, said that the results of some tests are not published because many of the TESTS are stiU under revision. The results of other tests, however, such as the ones taken at orientation, are sent to students via e-mail. Erwin said the results of all tests are used for internal purposes. They help us to see how courses and programs are doing at JMU, he said. The results are also looked at by the state. Senior Anne Walsh never had to participate in Assessment Day because of the number of CREDIT hours she had earned. Assessment Day is good for me because I get the day off she said. Walsh felt that the most effective assess- ment testing was that which seniors took. Seniors were tested on material they studied in their major either through a senior seminar course, a capstone course or a written test, Erwin said. Unlike Walsh, most students were unable to ESCAPE the tests. Everyyear I dream about being one of the chosen few who does not have to take part, but the dream never becomes a realiU ' , said senior Kristin Temple. For students who did not have to partici- pate in Assessment Day, the day was used to catch up on sleep, school work and relaxation. Those who did participate provided the universit) ' with valuable information about its students. People - 207 Taking the first round of assesment tests, these students try to concen- trate on the task at hand. The tests were aimed at tracking improvement in learning and comprehen- sion after four years at JMU. ■Class of 2000 Sleeping Spots WJien late-nigJn study sessions and pcutiesfuKilly take their toll by Amy Keller After staying up all night studying for a test, Christine VanVlcck takes a quick nap in her room. Many beds became places for eating, socializing, studying and occasionalU sleeping. Sleep deprivation is a universal problem for nearly all col- lege students. With tests, papers, labs, parties and other social events piling up and lasting well into the night, sleep is often the first thing SACRIFICED. There are just so many things to do at college that sleep- ing is no longer a priorirw said freshman Sara Yakovac. But even- tually the lack, of sleep catches up with me and I tall asleep in class or in the library when I should be studying. For many students who sacrificed their precious nighth ' hours to do schoolwork, sleeping during the DAY was a com- mon occurrence. I ' m usually up until at least 3 a.m. doing something, said junior Jen Graham All I can think about during the day is taking a NAP but I know if I go home and get in bed I will sleep the day away. So instead I usually go to the airport lounge and lay down in one of the big, COMFY chairs. The airport lounge, a popular meeting spot for students, is known for its couches and chairs that beckon students and lull them to sleep. It never fails, said sophomore Matt Ellison. If I go up there to read the paper or watch TV, I ' m ASLEEP in no time. The onlv bad thing is that there are so manv people around that just as I ' m falling into a DEEP, dark sleep somebody gets real loud and wakes me up. Although many of the renowned sleeping spots on campus were crowded with talking stu- dents, there were spots void of the chatter. I love to sleep on the QUAD, said se- nior Brian Mix. Even during the winter when its cold I take a big jacket out and I sleep like a baby. In addition to the AIRPORT lounge and the Qiiad, students could also occassionally be seen napping in the mail room, under a tree by Newman Lake and sometimes even in D-Hall. I went to D-Hall to study during finals and I guess I fell asleep, junior Shilpa Mathi said. I was so EMBARRASSED when one of the women who works there had to wake me up when the building closed. 208 - Expand Taking a quick catnap in the airport lounge in Warren HaU, this student (alls asleep on the soft couches.

Competitive lady-like sports like badminton, table tennis, shuffle board, archery, basketball and synchronized swimming attracted many of the students. Today, however, JMU offers more than 26 varsity sports for male and female students alike, possessing a cultural diversity of athletes and a wide variety of events. Student participation in sports began primarily as a form of recreation for those interested in exercising their bodies as much as their minds. It has evolved, though, to become a large part of the college experience, encompassing much of the excitement and spirit that is synonmous with athlet- ics at JMU. Madison has become home to some of the best athletes in all areas of sport: varsity, club and intramurals. With the support of fans and the drive of the athletes, the Dukes can conquer all.

IN THE ZONE noofbci w ith high expectations from the past few years of success, the football team prepared for another season of excellence with sights placed on a confer- ence title. With an early exit from the Yankee Conference tournament last year, the Dukes hoped to avenge that loss and make a statement about the worth of this new rejuvenated team. The season began on Sept. 7, with JMU pitted against Shippensburg in a game much closer than most had expected. Going into halftime, the score was tied at zero. With the second half still to be played, JMU had a lot of ques- tions to answer about the quality of play exhibited in the first half The team answered these questions with a burst of offense and solid de- fense. The Dukes took charge of the second half, shutting out Shippensburg, 30-0. The first game symbolized much of what the football team went through this season. Though tough times brought tough losses for the team, these were all learning experiences for the team and head coach Alex Wood. The theme of the JMU f ootball, in its 25th year, was that of rebuilding. Though JMU returned 42 lettermen from last season ' s 8-4 team, it also lost 25 play- First Ro v: Dave Forbra, Julius Williams, Steve Logan, Bryan Jackson, Kelvin Jeter, Jay Jones, eoach Alex Wood, Ed Peny, Gerald Smith, John Stein, Akiba Byrd, David Byerly, Willie Gonzalez.

This year, with those accomplishments be- hind them, the team hoped to keep its CAA champi- onship title. The team faced a tough schedule as 12 of its 18 regular season games were away. It began and ended its season against North Carolina, the 1995 NCAA champion and also traveled to four schools that were all ranked in the Top 20 when the season began. The Dukes themselves began the season ranked fourth. With the graduation of key players, one of the team ' s objectives was to find a player to fill Carole Thate ' s role. The team was young with only two re- turning seniors and seven freshmen. Morgan said, Coming into the season with only three returning starters set the tone for a challenge, but it was a chal- lenge that everyone accepted. With each game, we learned and grew. We were a young team and with youth you ' re going to go through a lot of growth and inconsistency. We definitely challenged the best teams in the nation. This season, a change in the official rules eliminated offsides, which resulted in higher scoring games. There wasn ' t one player who dominated the team. Leading scorers on the team included Julie Martinez, Dianne Cegielski, Karen Zarchin and Nicole Gaudette. The Dukes ' defense was anchored by Kelly Krieger, Karen Zarchin and Tara PeriUa. Perilla said, We ' re really young; we had only three seniors and seven freshmen. We had a lot of poten- tial and a lot of skUl. While this year might have been seen as a challenge, it was also viewed as an opportunity. The team reshaped itself this year and had considerable success whUe doing so.

We put a lot into ever) ' performance, said Tara Smith. We love being out in front of the crowd. Afer joining the Marching Royal Dukes last season, the Dukettes have in- corporated many new rou- tines and moves into their repertoire. The team also ac- companied the band during their halftime performance during the Washington Redskins Dallas Cowboys game last year at RFK Stadium. Being part of the marching band halftime show has given us more exposure and more opportu- ' ■ 5onal Putt ■ nities to perform for the crowd, said Lindsey Awbre ' . In order to pertect its routines, the team prac- ticed every ' day during the season. A strict regimin ot dancing and conditioning kept the members in top shape. The high level of skill and energ) ' led the team to their first bid to compete at nationals. It was a real honor to be in- . ited to Nationals, said Nanc - koht. We were picked as being one ot the best in the nation. Although the Dukettes were individuals with their own st ' le .ind tlair, the combination of these differences is what added to their performance. If we all had the same moves, it would look mechani- cal rather than sharp, said Smith. The reason that we work so well together is that we all ha ' e different out- looks and interpretations of the moves. We all work differently but come together as a team to give the best possible performance for everyone.

Dukettes-- 219 CLUB CRAZY Club sports, ranging from caving to roller hockey, were an important part of the JTvIU communit) ' . ' Students gave many reasons for joining club sports. Some said thev did it for the social aspects of joining a club. Kelly Jensen joined the Water Polo Club because she wanted to meet new people and have fun. Others said they did it for the exercise and because the varisty level was too competitive or time consuming. Still others said that they wanted to tn, ' a sport simply because it sounded in- teresting. The clubs competed at dif- ferent levels.

Despite a few minor setbacks, the team looked great during its routines. Eveni ' body pulled together and worked that much harder this season to compensate tor our losses, explained sophomore Pat Lovett. One of the team ' s strengths was the well- roundedness of skills. There are a lot of really talented people who are skilled in different wa s, so when we come together, we are great as a team, said fresh- man Jennifer Burrell. The team works reaU well together. There is a unique bond holding us together this year. It ' s really neat, captain Kim Shuford added. Last year the cheerleading squad placed first in the Division I National Championship. Members persevered to bring home the gold once again. Sopho- more Clay Rowland said, We want to go back and defend our national championship. If we work hard and practice hard, I think we can do it. Coach Rickey Hill tried to give the squad a new, clean look with sharper moves. We ' re trying to add a lot of new things that people haven ' t seen, such as different tricks that make us different, he said. The relationship between the team and the crowd plays an important role during the frames, and the cheerleaders act f.is a medium between the two. Captain Ron Farrington said, When the team is down, we help the crowd get back into it , which helps the team get back on their teet. Jennifer Barrel! agreed: The higher our level ot enthusiasm and the more will- ing we are to pa ' attention to the crowd, the more the crowd yells, and this helps the team to score even more, she said. The squad also devoted time to the Duke Club, different charities and the Multiple Sclerosis walk. It ' s good to see these guys in another world besides jumping around at games, said Hill.

Beerman, along with his wife, Mary-Beth, and Rob- ert PuUiza officially took over the squad in early 1996 and led the team through a successfiil spring season during which the Dukes gained confidence for the regular season. All three coaches were standout volleyball players at Ball State Universit} ' . We had the entire spring to regroup, Beerman said. Our goal was to keep pushing forward and getting bet- ter and better every day in prac- tice. Sparked by the new training style and philoso- phy as well as the return of senior Susan Martin after a one-year hiatus, the Dukes surpassed last season ' s win total of nine early in the season.

Lindsay CoUingwood and Beth Tyson added to the team ' s overall success by ex- celling early on. CoUingwood was named MVP of the Campbell Classic, one of five such honors for her this sea- son, and CAA Player of the Week twice. The Dukes also got strong performances from Kristie Da adson and Kari Kopnicky. One of the team ' s goals this season was to reach the 20- win mark, which they met with a win over VCU.

Senior Sipi Savolainen scored the Dukes lone goal. Without last season ' s stars Pat McSoreley, Nathan Fairchild and Danny Ensley, the Dukes had to reconstruct their midfield and find new goal scorers. Junior Jake Edwards and sophomores Mike Brizindine and Kevin Knight took over the scor- ing responsibilities early on guiding the team to a 11- stjirt. Edwards led the team in scoring with 1 1 goals before reinjuring his foot in the Oct. 12 , 6-0 win over S occe.V ' UNC-Wilmington. Despite the loss of last- -ear ' s pla -ers, the team did not lose any team unit} ' . We played like a team and worked hard for each other, said senior tri-captain Barry Purcell. As in past years, the Dukes ' defense was steady from the be- ginning and the kevto man ' wins. Led by goalkeeper Purcell, the defense included senior tri-cap- tains Kyle Swords and Mark Miles. Purcell set a school record for consecutive minutes on the field (643 minutes, 42 seconds) that stretched from the Sept. 2 win over Virginia Tech to the overtime win over Maryland on Oct. 9. Purcell also led Division I keep- ers in goals against average (0.21) through Oct. 1, and was named Colonial Athletic Association player of the week for the week ending Oct. 6.

This year, under the lead- ership of head coach Dave Lombardo and assistant coach Barb Chura, JMU was considered the team to beat. The team had a difficult schedule, but JMU proved to be a worthy opponent. Lombardo said the four seniors on the team provided a spark and pushed the team to ex- cel. Samantha Andersch, one of the best center midfielders in the country, and co-captain Kristi Palmaccio set a solid foundation in the midfield; Jen Cuesta, JlVIU ' s 1995 defensive MVP, anchored the defense; and for vard Julie Mason was a valuable re- ser ' e player. The Dukes enjoyed depth on the forward line with several players capable of filling the starting po- sitions. Because the offense was well-balanced and well-rounded, the team didn ' t look to one person for all of the scoring. Tasha Ellis was one of the leading scorers on the team and had the potential to be one of the leading scorers in the country. Sophomore Therese Wolden was also a top scorer, aided by her speed and finishing ability. Other valuable scorers were midfielder Lauren Stritzl and junior co-captain StaceyTourtelletc, who was considered the workhorse of the offensive line. The experi- ence of returning starters made the defense strong. Sweeper Lisack, commented, We came together well as a team and played to our strengths. Defense-wise we did well also. We were comfortable pla ing with each other. I was con- fident with us back there. This year ' s women ' s soccer team showed its great skill and po- tential. According to Lombardo, We played well. VVc were in the Top 20 almost every week. We were .i better team in terms of playing abilit) ' and leadership, and we played one game at a time. The team ha- already enjoyed considerable success and expects to continue the winning tradition in seasons to come. Keri ' Rumerman • Mt ' iA 3 . f - tf x,.

An enduring intel- lectual challenge, golf is a combination of strategy and fluidity of motion. The JMU women ' s golf team was comprised of seven talented individuals. While the number of players was small, the team ' s depth yielded a formidable force in the college arena. Led by Jeff Forbes in his first year of coach- ing, the team responded to a de- manding fall schedule fdled with in- clement weather and player injuries. Forbes, an alumni golfer, returned to JMU after three years on the Future ' s Tour. His back- ground and experience were complemented by the team ' s two tournament wins, a reduction of in- dividual stroke averages and a solid recruiting year. He believed that continual success in these areas will lead to a Top 25 national ranking. Forbes described the young team as a great group ot girls who have the talent to perform, but who think too much on the course, which can ham- per their true natural playing abilities. Freshmen players Charisse Doles, Heather Jeffries and JuUe Russum answered the demands placed on student athletes. Returning to the JMU lineup were sophomore Sarah Homes, juniors Kathryn Yard and Danielle Zahaba and senior Kristin DoUenburg. The Lady Dukes began the season with a fifth-place finish at the Penn State Invitational. They then had a first-place finish at the Longwood Invitational, which proved to be a catalyst for a second- place finish at Methodist College. Other tournaments included UNC- Chapel Hill, the JMU Invitational, the East Coast Athletic Conference Championships and finally Geor- X. wiihams gia State.

Returning head coach Maria Malerba said, We were really excited about getting the season started because we had a great group of kids who worked ver) ' hard and pushed each other to get better. Under Malerba, JMU boasts 17 winning seasons. The Dukes returned with one senior, three juniors, two sophomores and two fresh- men on the team. However, players and coaches were not concerned about a relatively young team. We re- turned our No. 1 and No. 2 singles players and our No. 1 doubles combination. Also, our younger play- ers were all so close in ability that they could be placed • ' cndv anwhere from No. 4 to No. 8. With that kind of depth, I think we were very competitive, said Malerba. At the JMU Fall Kickoff Tournament, the Dukes played Da ' idson College, George Ma- son Universit) ' and American Universit} ' , winning six out of eight possible singles and doubles ti tles. It was a tourna- ment of domination, and mem- bers played as it they were in midseason form. The women ' s tennis team started the season with impres- sive matches and skill. However, players began to slow their pace in the middle of the season. Fol- lowing a competitive schedule, the team trailed the competition by a narrow margin.

The Dukes finished ahead of several nationally ranked teams, boosting them into the Top 25 in the NCAA poUs. The Dukes ran strong at several important meets.

Despite being one of the best JAIU cross country teams e ' er, we still had a disappointing finish. Our finish at the IC 4A meet was not reflective of how we could have done.

An ex- cellent staff returned including associate head coach Chuck Driesell, assistant coach Phil Cunningham, team trainer Ron Stefancin, conditioning coach Greg Werner and 24-year equipment manager Dave Reedy. The Dukes also gained coach Eric Pauley. With a solid staff, the foundation was set for a great season. Of course, the efforts of such a distinguished group called for a soUd roster of players. A notable loss was that of Darren McLinton, who averaged 22.7 points per game last year, the sec- ond best season average ever by a Duke. The admin- istration had to go out and do some good recruiting. The Dukes gained a quality- guard in Jamar Pern-; power forwards Kevan Johnson, Arar in Zaanadam and Chatnev Howard, a junior transfer from junior college; and some much- needed size down low in Mate Milisa and Rob Strickland, the latter being one of the most sought after recruits in the na- tion. Added to a group of re- turning starters and lettermen which included Charles Lott, CAA All-Rookie selection Eu- gene Atkinson and guts- ' sixth man Ryan Cuhcerto and this team was ready to go. After a few e. hibitions, the season was under wav and JMU got off to a rocky start with a loss to Bowling Green, leaving fans to fear that yet another not-so-hot season was ahead.

Then began the ups and downs. Throughout the season, JMU managed to come up with some big wins, but often man- aged to let the inferior teams shp by them. After a huge confer- ence win against CAA rival team ODU on Jan. 25 in front of a crowd in e.xcess of 6,500 people at home, many began to forget about losses to inferior CA match-ups. Down the stretch. Coach Driesell was proud of his players for all the ' accomplished. As senior guard Ryan Culicerto said, Coach is prett)- happ -, I think, with what we ' e ac- comphshed so tar.

While serving to cultivate lifetime recreational skills, intramurals strive to integrate students socially in a sports setting and to foster a spirit of sportsmanship and fair play among participants and spec- tators.

Women ' s Basketball - 253 RING LEADERS While new recruits or freshmen are often referred to as the new blood of a collegiate sports team, new coaches can have just as much of an impact on the team ' s performance as any player. Jeff Forbes, who took over the coaching position of the women ' s golf team this year, said I really enjoy be- ing out there with the team. I see them work hard and do their best and it makes me proud. Of course, as the plavers gained experience, the coaches gained experience in guiding them. Tom Martin, the men ' s soccer team coach, felt that the team ' s trip to the CAA tournament had a positive effect on the team. Having a great group of young men to work with makes my job even better. I en- joy seeing them succeed individually and as a team.

A week following the announce- ment, Sherman Dillard, the former Indiana State Univer- sity ' head coach, was named the Dukes ' leader. It ' s so great to be back home, said Sherman to a crowd gathered at the Convocation Center. Other coaching changes also oc- curred during the last few weeks of school. Women ' s basketball coach, Shelia Moorman tendered her resig- nation after 15 years at the healm. Al- leged problems between players and coach Moorman apparently led to the sudden announcement in March. Through all the fanfare and excitement surround- ing athletics at JMU, it was the role of the coach to be the backbone and inspirational leader of the team.

A NEW VIEW I ames Madison University has a reputation for be- —1 ing an excellent environment tor higher educa 1 tion and athletics. It is often referred to as a pub- lic school with Ivy League quality. Over the years, JMU has reached a higher level of athletic training, ability and professionalism. This glowing reputation has helped to spread knowledge of JMU ' s ath- letic program n ot only nationally, but also internationally. Why do these international players come such a long way to at- tend JMU? One reason is to pursue a college education, which often does not play a prominent role in their countries. Mate MLlisa, from Croatia, said, I like playing basket- ball at JMU because school work comes first and improv- ing my basketball skills comes second. If an incident such as an injury that would not allow him to play basketball Bringing another view of athleticism to JMU, international players offer a different appre- ciation for how the game is played. occurred, he wanted an education to fall back on. Compared to other countries, the way sports are played at JMU does not really differ according to most international athletes. There are only a few differences. According to Tasha Ellis from Ontario, There are not big differences. However, soccer is more popular here than in Canada. I believe it has become a lot bigger in other countries, though. Sipi Savolainen from Finland said, Soccer is not that different in my country, and is basically plaved the same way. However, Savolainen was surprised at the quality of the skill level the players at JMU pos- sessed. One difference noticed by Milisa was the competition among basketball players. Here you have to fight for a place on the team, whereas in European basketball it is easy to be recognized if you are a good player.

There is really no other sport that requires the mental discipline of a strict diet for weight management coupled with the demands ot a rigid practice schedule. To the novice eye, the sport of wrestling looks like nvo people rolling around a mat with no structure to it. Instead, wres- tling is like a game ot human chess - a game ot attack and counterattack in which you must respond fast and think nvo or three moves ahead ot your opponent in order to score the points. that depend on a complete team effort to achieve suc- cess, wrestling, while a team sport, depends on ten individual efforts. A competitor must rely on himself to come out on top of his oppo- nent; he will not have the help of his teammates to fall back on. There are no time-outs and no substitutions. A contest ot wills inwhich, two men enter the wrestling mat and one man, the line who is best prepared, leaves ictorious. The season was punctuated by the discipline of dedicated in- dividuals who were willing to L ' sacrifice the time to work out ' i—ii- three times a day for the greater ■ .1 good of the whole. Their effort will not go unrewarded as the end of the season culminates, look for the Dukes to challenge in the quest for the CAA championships Unlike sports such as football and basketball and for four potential all-Americans. • Ramel Piiirh and Pave Tevlin • First Row: Brian Maddox.Josh Androscavagc, i rman Taghizadch, Lorcn Pruskowski, Uoug Uctrick, Mike KobostcUu, Ken Rossi Dave Vollmer, Maakan Taghizadeh, P.J.

I Women ' s Gymnastics 265 WARMING UP There are always those members of the team who seem to shine a little brighter in the eyes of fans and media. Their presence on the field, in the pool or on the court is constant. How- ever, behind the team stars, there is a group of players dedicated to the Dukes and to their quest for exceUence. Nicknamed benchwarmers for their sit- ting location during games, these players add more to the dynamics of the team than most realize. It ' c called a team for a reason, said senior Shelly Klaes, a member of the la- crosse team. It ' s the whole roster of players working to- gether to bring out the best in everyone. Even sports that based on indi ' idual pla ' , team spirit is always high. Sports such as archer)-, g)-mnas- tics, swimming, tennis and golf look to individual members to succeed. Do benchwarmers find their posi- tions on the team satisfying or are they ready for some real action? We cheer for each other no matter what, said Scott Colston, assistant coach of the archery team. We value ever ' one from the best archer on the team to the new guy who is having a httle trouble. Everj ' - one is important. Sometimes, however, it is the part of the benchwarmer to take on the role of spectator, instead of player. I was a walk-on the baskteball team my sopho- more year, said Brian Ballard. I didn ' t get much playing time that year but I think it was really good for me because I watched more ex- perienced players on the team and learned about the game. With many talented students with athletic abilit) ' , spots are scarce on a team. However, many benchwarmers have a real op- portunit) ' . They ' re watching, learning, waiting and preparing for their turn to shine in the spotlight. Sonal Dutt Standing patiendy outside the dug- out, JMU baseball players who are not a part of the starting line-up stand in support ot the team instead of warm- ing the bench at Mauck-Long Field. All baseball members, including benchwarmers, are essential to the make-up of the team. Watching a teammate spike the ball over the net. these mem- bers of the team learn keys of the game from the senior players on the team. Watching those more expeienced with collegiate play was helpful for others. 266 - Conquer Kneeling on the sideline, Earnest Payton is proud to be a part of the Jj IU football team, even though he is not a st arting player.

Manv teams at JMU have a great wealth and distrubtion of talent; therefore, manv of the non-start- ers must learn more about the game from the bench. Everyone has a place on the team, not just the starters. It ' s called a team because every- one has equal importance. - alerie Kaput Benchwarmers - 267 Spotting a fellow teammate, junior Greg Bosch lends his time and support to help to unite the team.

Men ' s Gymnastics - 269 IN THE NEWS I ust as the world of politics, religion and interna _| tional affairs changes with every passing day, the 1 world of sports also saw radical changes and achievements. This year was monumental in the accom- phshments of many individuals as well as teams. The World Series trophy came back to the Bronx, belonging to a New York Yankees team that never gave up. Together they pulled oft the ultimate comeback. The Yankees won their first World Series title since 1978 with a 3-2 victory over the defending champion Atlanta Braves in Game 6 on Saturday, Oct. 26, 1996. This marked the Yankees ' 23rd title, the most in historj ' and surely one of the most remarkable. With the Olympics back in the United States, Kerri Strug made news in her Olvmpic competition. She had two goals coming to the Olympics: to make the all- around women ' s gymanstics finals and to have a good time. Strug ' s vault that sealed America ' s first Olympic team gold medal and made her the countr)- ' s newest sweetheart also left her with two torn ligaments and a sprained left ankle. Her royal treatment started when her coach Bela Karolyi carried his latest star back into the arena for the medal presentation. Chicago Bulls basketball star Dennis Rodman taped a scene for 3rd Rock from the Sun for the weekly television show which appeared in September 1996. Rod- man, author of the best-seUing autobiography Bad As 1 Wanna Be, signed copies of his book beneath a mural with some of the 20th century ' s greatest writers: Hemingway, Orwell, Nabakov and Joyce. His pen was clasped in a hand dehcately sheathed in silk, arm-length gloves. As he does on the court, Rodman created chaos. Michael Johnson knows how to close out a deal quickly and eftlciendy. When he thought that his 1996 Olympic rivals in the men ' s 200 meter might threaten his 19.66 world record, he upped the ante. He broke it him- self, coming in with a 19.32 time. The sudden success ol 20-year-old Tiger Wood in his first two months as a professional golfer focused attention on golf in a way unseen since the days of Arnold Palmer. He ' s just so cool, said 12-year-old Derek Dickson. It ' s really neat that someone his age can beat ever ' body.

This ancient, elegant sport calls for both grace and athleticism. JMU boasts a small, but talented women ' s fencing team. The 11- member team competed in 27 dual meets this season. Head coach Paul Campbell head coach said, The team really puUed together. Ev- erything was a team effort. There were strong people in each squad. We had a very heavy schedule with 27 dual meets but expected a winning season. Each member ' s goal was to qualify for individual participa- tion in the NCAA Tournament. CoUegiately, women ' s teams fence with two of three possible weapons, the foil and the epee. Both are thrusting weapons. Leadership of the epee squad fell to Katie Sechrist, who filled the role of epee squad captain. She said of the team, Most people don ' t come to JMU plan- ning to fence. This year, we got a lot of freshmen who have fenced in the past. There was talent from different stA ' les. We had the reputation of a team that people liked to fence. The foil squad was led by Heather Robertson, who spent the previous year fencing in an amateur club in Germanv dur- ing a vear abraod. Everyone on this squad played a large part in the team ' s success. Regardless of the outcome ot the season, the women ' s fencing team demonstrated dedication and determination.

Let ' s put this game away. It ' s aU part of the fijn of watch- ing JMU athletic events. Sometimes the fans seem just as big a part of the game as the players are. The lengths that some people go to show their spirit is unmistakable, from the spirited tans who paint their bodies and adhere Duke Dog tattoos on their faces to the unknown guy that runs across the football field in nothing but his under- wear, waving a Chi Phi flag. Sophomore Wendy Coplen could not believe what some people do to show their spirit at a tootball game. I remember it being about 20 degrees out- side and five guys wrote DUKES across their chests. They proudly displayed their chests for the entire football game. Energizing the sta- dium, fans have helped to evolve JMU sports throughout the years with their spirit and loA-altv ' . Student support doesn ' t stop with football. Junior Ja- son White remembers a basketball game a few years ago when a Purdue player made the crowd mad. For the rest ot the game, whenever that gu ' got the ball, the Zoo Cage booed him. At court level, the Zoo Cage is always there to back up the players. The attendance at most of the other sports has risen in the past few years as JMU has evolved. All of this support has helped lead the Dukes to many victories. Not only does all of the cheering and shout- ing help the players, it makes going to the games more fiin.

The streak in- cluded three wins against UNC- Wilmington and also wins against Towson State, UM-Bal- timore County and Hartford. After their streak, the Dukes found themselves faced with a hurdle of tough competi- tion. The tough times were caused by an inability to prove themselves offensively. Facing such teams as Virginia Com- monwealth, Georgetown, U. Va., Eastern Carolina and Virginia Tech, the Dukes struggled to maintain their winning record. After a regrouping, the team pulled together once again. Senior second baseman eball Rusty Lowrey stated, We started to put things in perspective.

The Lacrosse team battled against difficult odds all season, but finished with a respect- able record of 9 wins and 8 losses. They were faced with a very tough schedule during the spring season. All of the teams that they had to face were among the top 15 nation- ally ranked teams at the time that the JMU women played them. The team was following a very succesful season, which added the pressure of expecta- tions to an already difficult schedule. Last year, the team was invited for their first appear- ance ever at an NCAA tourna- ment, and the 1995 team broke or tied eight school records for lacrosse, including season goals and points. We had a pretty disap- pointing year. We did a lot better last year, and we need to do better next year, admitted sophomore Aimee Vaughan. She was, however, excited about their last game of the season. The team suffered several losses during the spring season to women ' s teams ranked nationally in the top 10. But a great deal of team growth came out of this challenging season. The team is stUl adjusting to coach Jennifer Ulehla, whose first season coach- ing the JMU women was last year. This was our second year with the same coach. We ' re see- ing how she coaches us - her pattern - and we understood where she was coming from, said Shelley Klaes. Another positive element of the season was the strong young members of the team. Freshman Megan Riley, an at- tack player, and Rebecca Tweel, a defense player, were invited to the Junior World Cup of 1996. Riley also received the Rookie of the Year Award for the team. It ' s exciting to see new memebers of the team playing well and being rec- ognized, said third-year player Klaes.

The team achieved outstanding individual and team honors which included the men ' s, women ' s and mixed teams aU being named East Region Champions and the NAA overall national runner-up. Four play- ers, Randy Hinkelman, Scott Colston, Jennifer Jordan and Jo Malahy, placed on the All- American team. The women ' s team was led by Amanda Atkins and Ail-Americans Jennifer Jordan and Jo Malahy. Be- cause the archers on the team com- pete not only with other teams, but also with each other, Atkins said that archery re- quires a lot of individual dedication. You have to put forth your own effort. Atkins also added that it is important for archers to have strong concentra- tion and poise. The slightest error can ruin a tour- nament for you, she explained. Jo Malahy said her competitive nature helps to keep her focused and is key to her success. I am extremely driven to win, she said. The men ' s team was led by All- Americans Randy Hinkelman and Scott Colston. Hinkelman said that maintaining a high confi- dence level makes him successflil. He also said that his teammates help each other out as much as possible. Although archery is not a popular spectator sport, Colston acknowl- edged the university ' s support. JMU supports the archery program mon- etarily, he said. This enables the team to travel to competitions at which they gain more experience and exposure. Competing with other very successful archery pro- grams forces the team to push itself harder, he ex- plained. We have sohd competitors in all four cat- egories - men ' s recurve, men ' s compound, women ' s recurve and women ' s compound, Colston said. That makes us very tough to beat.

With over 700 female students rushing in the fall, several sorority pledge classes exceeded 55 members. To many, joining the Greek system was much like joining an extended family. Aside from the social gains, many organi- zations donated time and money to national and local charities. The members of the Greeks system joined Delta Gamma in their annual Anchor Splash event, raising money for Service for Sight. Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity staged Lombardi Gras II, a charity concert held on Godwin Field in honor of a brother diagnosed with Cancer. Alpha Chi Rho helped to beautify the community by painting a mural at the Monte Video elementary school.

Trying to capture all the different faces of JMU with a staff of six made me realize the profoundness of this statement. Expressing the true essence of JMU on film was nearly impossible due to the diversity of student perspec- tives, but we did our best in depicting what we thought being a student was like. Whether it was a graduate streaking the Quad, a freshman worried about appear- ances, the lost soul getting trampled in Dukes, or a dreamer relaxing in the Valley, we made these moments permanent. If not for the happy-smiley and occasionally sad and downtrodden people of JMU our job would not have been accomplished. We came, we saw and took some pictures.

Deep Thoughts by Jack Hande) ' PROGRESS As we steppped onto the campus for the first time, we were all our own person; possessing own unique personalities, ideas, morals and opinions. Little did we know that as we leave Madison, four years later, we would have changed so dramatically and in so many ways. Our narrow scope of the world was broad- ened to include people and experiences spanning the nation and globe. We saw the world come together in a grand show of athleticism and competition as the Olympic Games returned to America. Another presidential election came and went with students becoming more involved with the political world. Within a closer community, we saw campus grow to endless bounds, welcoming more students than ever before. We were also witness to tragedy in our own backyard, as we bid farewell to friends and loved ones close to us. We have changed infmtely with the world around us. We will continue to progress after our Madison days, taking all we have learned from her and others in our lives. onal utt EDITOR IN CHIEF Closing Divider - ' 369 DEMOCRATIC NATL CONVENTION HURRICANE HORTENSE ALL SAID AND DONE Don ' t forget to vote!

Til never reach my destination, if I never try. So, I will sail my vessel until the river runs dry. Garth Brooks To say that I have changed in the past four years is truly an understatement. I can ' t even begin to catalogue all of the people and events that have influenced and shaped me into the person that I have become. My time as Editor In Chief was one of the most rewarding, happy and painful times in my life. There were times when things could not have been better. Then there were those da ' s that felt like they would never end. But looking back on the year, the good times and the bad, I know that I would not trade this whole experience for the world. I would not give up the friends I have made and the knowledge I have gained from this staff for anything. This book sitting before vou is a di- rect result of the work and dedication of the members of the Bluestone staff who worked tirelessly to produce this yearbook for the stu- dents ot James Madison University ' . In this staff, I found promise, drive, emotion, perfection, grandeur and friend- ship. I could not have asked for a better group of people to work with, learn from and laugh with. It is beacuse of them that I am proud to say that 1 was part of the 1997 Bluestone. So, here you go, guys. It ' s your book. Be vet)- proud. Garrett, what would I have done without you? You managed to make sense of all the chaos I caused. So, where will you be jetting off to ne. t? Jamaica? Boulder? Good luck with everything and I hope our paths cross again after May. Amy, it ' s been four years and I ' m sad to see them go. Let ' s plan another trip to Or- lando. I think that we still have a seat with our names on it next to Prince Charming. 1 walk home now ... Thanks for everything. Oh, Evan. What a year. Incase I for- got to mention it, I think that you are the most talented photographer to ever have graced the pages of the Bluesto?ie. You truly amazed me time after time. Thanks for al- ways trj ' ing your hardest to keep me happy. Buzz Lighrvear to the rescue. Rachel, I don ' t know where to start. I feel like we ' ve been through so much to- gether. Over the past three years, you have become one of my closest friends. I don ' t know what I would have done without you. 1 have no fear that the Bluestone is in good hands. Always remember the Pal Martin imposter, Mr. Root and Dave from Planet Hollwood. Thanks for everything. By the wa) ' , Pachel L. Posvval, do you want to drive the van? Leah, how happ) ' am I that you came to be on staff with us; if not only for our soft-spoken words of wisdom and your sunny disposition, but also for preventing Rachel ' s impending heart attack. I ' m so glad that we ' ve brought out your mean side, too! Nicole, don ' t vorr ' . You ' re now of- ficially done. No more names, majors, hometowns or mugshots. You did a great job. How about doing it again? Thanks for everything. Wendy, you are just too cute! I ' m so luck) ' to have worked with you this year. I see a silver book in our future.. .and if any- one can pull it off it would be you. Is there a screen on }our sports pages, or did we just imagine that? What do you look like? Becky, you seem to complete the set. I alwa)s knew that hin was around when you and Wendy were in the area. Thanks for not getting mad when I repeatedly called you Wendy or deleted 16 completed pages. (I still feel bad about that!) Thanks for al- ways staying on top of things when I fell behind. Yay for you! Erin, guess what? You don ' t have to proofread this page. Yay! Your dedica- tion to perfection was inspiring. I was never in doubt when it came to you. Why don ' t we each order a Charlotte pasta plate made for a family of six and a loaf of garlic bread? Thanks for being as anal as I was. Cassie, would vou like to type in the AZA group picture in again? I know that at times, this job was more than you i had bargained for. Thank you for always coming through and for making the Greeks Progress Orgs. sections better than they have ever been before. To all the photographers, thank you, thank you, thank you. Your great vv ork never went unnoticed. Reed, thank you so much for all your hard work. It was so comforting knowing that you were on the job. Anymore papers to write? Meagan, can I possibly misspell your name any more times than I did? Thanks for always doing the job with a smile. Statia, I see big things in your fiature. By the way, how do you spell your last name? New York was a blast. Kat, how did you like being on the Blue- stone} Fun, fian, fiinlThanks for everything. Jerry, I ' m done. I can ' t even be- gin to count the number of times I came to you with some problem that you were able to fix. Thanks for everything. How about another trip with us to Orlando? Have you recovered from the last one yet? Scott, no more deadlines and two-hour long phone messages. Thanks for always putting up with my crazy ques- tions and requests. Good luck everything. To all the volunteers that showed up week after week to help make this year- book a reality, I give you my undying thanks. We couldn ' t have done it without you. Jeff, Tom (Paul), Rick and everyone else, thanks for everything. Amy R, my how the years have flown. It ' s amazing that it all began four years ago, in a Residence Hall far, far away. I wish I had known then how important you would become to me. How many days till graduation? Have flin in London. To all my friends in AOQ, thank you for all the good times and memories. You have all meant so much to me. I hope I gave you half of what you all gave to me in spirit, support and love. Brooke Jenn, I couldn ' t have asked for a better famUy. Go Footballs! Meghan, Tammy and Jessica, what a great year. Who knew that four people could be so different and yet have so much fun. You know you have it good when the last place you ever want to be is outside of your apartment. Long live Lois Lane. Too bad about the Cows. Oh, Jess. How do I begin put this year into perspective? There is no one else that I would ever go bunjee-jumping with! In you, I found a teacher, a confidant, a comedian, a soul mate, a friend. You and me are like peas and carrots. I hope you know what a special person you are. Enjoy your last two years of college and think of me once in a while. I ' m totally loving you. Bombs. And finally, to my family, I have to give you my eternal thanks for allowing me to live life to the fullest. I couldn ' t have asked for more support, love and guidance from you. Thank you, Annu, Amma, Payal and Maya for everything. I love you all. With the thank-you portion of my Oscar acceptance speech concluded, I have to finally say farewell to JMU. As I walk through this beatifiil campus for the last time as a student, I am reminded of why I fell in love with JMU and why I am so sad to say goodbye. I ' U miss the snow capped peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains cresting over Wilson Hall and the friendly faces that greet you at every turn. So, wdthin these pages of the Blue- stone, I leave the university a little piece of myself I hope that this record of history helps you all remember how special James Madison is. I know that I will never torget the people and the places that have made JMU home in my heart. So, I pass the torch onto you, Rachel. I know that is only the beginning of your amazing list of accomplishments. Re- member to keep O-Boy in check and have fun. It ' s the experience of a lifetime. You ' ll make me proud, I know it. Although many will tell you that all evidence is to the contrary, I seem to have found myself with nothing left to say. The reason for that, mainly, is because my tour years at JMU can not be summed up easily in a paragraph (even though it ' s written in 1 1 pt. ACaslon). I ' ve loved my time here and hope never to forget a second of it. So, to the entire Bluestone staff, the Class of 1997, my friends, family, and myself, I leave a heartfelt Yay for You. May JMU as special to you all as it has been for me. Sonal Dutt Editor In Chief w o All I want is to feel this way, to be this close, to feel the same. All I want is to feel this way the evening speaks, I feel it say...

And with this great computer I don ' t need no writin ' tutor, ' Cause there ain ' t a single thing that it can ' t do. It can sort and it can spell. It can punctuate as well. It can edit and select. It can cop ' and correct, So I ' ll have a whole book written by tonight (Just as soon as it can think ot ' wha to write). -Falling Up, Shel Silverstein The last three years at the Bluestone have taught me more than any class ever could.

Leah Bailey Assistant Features Editor The most important things are the hardest to say. The are things vou get ashamed of, because words diminish them Words shrink things that seem endless when they were in you head but no more than actual size when they were brought out But it ' s more than that, isn ' t it? The most important things li close to where your secret heart lies buried, like landmarks to treasure your enemies would love to steal away, and you may mak revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you i a tlinny way, not understanding what you said at all or why yo thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying ii That ' s the worst, I think, when a secret stays locked inside not fo want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear. — Stephen King Thanks to all the Blue stone staff for a memo rable, terrific year! An thanks to Sonal and Am for choosing me to be part of it. Sonal, I ' m so prou to have contributed to sue a great book! But in thanks go to Rachel espt cially, for being so much more than the wonderful partner to woi with that you were. You are truly a treasured friend. Nicole Steffey Classes Editor fhat do you mean? Another year ' s gone by? Amy: It ' s definitely 5t David? , It never had a chance. How good it was to be back in ant of a layout - complaining about life with you. That ' s where e ' ll always belong. We ' re so nasty, I love that! Sonal: You can lax! Your work paid off. Rachel: Your enthusiasm was always re- ;shing to me.

Becky Lillard Sports Editor hen I walked into the Bluestone office at the end of August for my ' St meeting as co-Sports editor, didn ' t know what to expect. It as rough in the beginning but .e whole staff was incredibly ;lpful. Thanks to everyone for itting up with the goofyness of fendy and I. I hope we made ;e late nights before deadline ore fun. I just can ' t believe it ' s [ over already! Wendy-we made a great team, thanks for putting up with e. You ' re great and you know it. Sonal-one day Dante wiU be yours! Evan-don ' t you ever forget about Buzz Lightyear to the res- le. May it hang in your Ufe forever. Rachel-don ' t worry-Wendy and I really are normal. Thanks to everyone. You ' ve helped fiU my year with won- :rful memories. Wendy Crocker Sports Editor I see silver in the future, as I plan to continue to be a part of the Bluestone staff, if they will have me. Being a newcomer was complete chaos, but after Becky (my soul-yearbook-mate) and I took time out with Sonal and figured out what we were doing, I relaxed and took it one da - at a time. Lots of laughter was found along the way as we worked our fingers to the bone night and day to come up with a unique but harmonious book that best represented JMU. Buzz Lighr ' ear came to our rescue and aided us in our times of emotional dis- tress. The positive atmosphere cannot be es- caped and seeps into your soul as you find vourself saving Yay for You! I have gazed into the mind of a professional, pohte stalker and witnessed breeze bias, learned from a true editing hfesaver, seen a layout master at work and looked through the eyes of craz ' photogra- phers who wUl do an thing for a picmre, such as running to railroad tracks under a sunset sky. Overall it ' s been a real learning e.xperience, making me stronger, wiser and utterly sUlv. Let me just leave with the question What do you look Uke?
