Tax reform to change college financing By Jan Cruise staff writer

The Tax Reform Act of 1986, signed by President Reagan last October, will change the way college students at JMU and everywhere finance their college tuitions next year.

Beginning Jan. 1, the new legislation will hit families who use Clifford trusts, college loans, scholarships or non-tuition aid.

"The law will be highly detrimental to Clifford trusts," said David Masich of Sovran Bank in Charlottcsville. Until now, Clifford trusts for tuition have been taxed at special child's rates.

Under the new law, income from trusts opened before March 1,1986 will be taxed at higher parents' rates until the child turns 14. The trust then is taxed at the lower child's rate.

Interest from trusts set up after March 1, 1986, will be added onto parents' taxable income and taxed at

their rate, regardless of the student's age. Another provision of the law will phase out the

deducibility of interest on educational and other consumer loans.

In 1987, taxpayers will be able to deduct only 65 percent, rather than 100 percent, of loan interest This figure will drop to 40 percent in 1988, 20 percent in 1989, and 10 percent in 1990. The write-off will be eliminated entirely in 1991.

The $10-billion-a-year federal Guaranteed Student Loan program also will be affected. "GSLs are used by 2,660 JMU students," said John Sellers, director of financial aid at JMU, "and many graduate with a 510,000 debt over their heads."

After graduation, the government no longer pays the interest. And now students will be taxed on interest from GSLs.

Borrowing against a home might be a way out of the problem, advised. Dr. Scott Cairncs, tax accounting professor here. The new law leaves

interest on home-equity loans used for educational and medical expenses fully deductible.

Home-equity loans generally have lower interest rates. Bill Walton, manager of Sovran Bank in Harrisonburg said, "Home-equity loans depending on the circumstances, have interest rates around 11 or 12 1/4 percent." However, the consumer loans' interest rate currently is at 15 percent.

But one drawback of using home-equity loans is the costs to obtain the loans. Parents must pay home appraisal fees, legal documentation fees, and bank processing charges.

According to David Young, a staff member at U.S. Sen. Bill Bradlcy's office, they "can still provide an effective means to finance college luiuons." Bradley is a member of the Senate finance committee and author of a book titled "The Fair Tax."

Honor Council seeing increase in student input By Amy Porter staff writer

For the first time, more students than teachers have reported JMU Honor Code violations during a semester, the Honor Council president said.

Of the nine investigations this semester, five cases were reported bvgj students. _/

"The students arc becoming more aware [of the Honor Code]," Laurie Robinson said. "The Honor Council is plugging it. We've had publications in The Breeze and more participation in the Honor Awareness Week. We hold programs in dorms and we have more faculty support."

Three of the nine students charged this semester either pleaded guilty or were found guilty. The minimum sentence for a student violating the Honor Code is immediate suspension for the semester.

If students are found guilty at the end

Another pan of the new law wrtCb affects universities is a possible loss in contributions because donors no longer can deduct charitable and educational gifts if they do not itemize their returns. Many charities already have protested the measure because ihey feel it nvght discourage donations.

The law's impact on contributions to JMU is still uncertain. Gary Sr.iallwood, director of JMU's

Annual Fund, said, "ll's too early to (ell. Wc haven't gotten together to discuss what effect the bill will have on the university."'

Tax reform will be damaging to educational institutions and to families who finance their college tuitions, according to the November issue of "On Campus" magazine. Even those students with financial assistance in the form of scholarships and other non-tuition aid will face some unpleasant changes under the new law. These types of assistance

will be treated as taxable income. This measure might push some college students

into the taxable income status, which begins at S4.900. But Sellers estimates most JMU students who receive financial aid like scholarships have income "in the $2,000 range."

Sellers also said the measure will "play a larger role at more expensive institutions but there shouldn't l>c too much of i problem where JMU students arc concerned"

of the semester near final exams, they may complete the semester, but is suspended for the next semester.

One student reported by a teacher this semester was charged w ith and pleaded guilty to breaking into someone else's computer program.

Another student turned in by a teacher was charged w ith and pleaded guilty to plagiarism.

The third student was turned in by two other students for copying information from a classmate's exam. The charged student was found guilty at the trial.

That student considered having a public trial, which never has been done at JMU.

"I don't know of anyone (or university] who has had a public trial in the state of Virginia." Robinson said. However, at Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee, the facts of all cases are made public after the trial.

Even though students haw a right to a public trial, the JMU system is confidential. Robinson said. The names of the accused, the charge, and the time and place of private inals arc strictly confidential, she said.

The only people allowed to aucnd trials here are the accused student, a student advocate, a prosecutor, and a judge. Witnesses give their tesun.. and then leave.

The student u ho considered a public trial wanted a parent to aucnd the trial for support. In order for parents to aucnd. trials must be public In puruc trials. Honor Council officials CM

release the student's name, charge and time and place of trial for publication.

The Honor Council docs not ad\ ise having a public trial because the jury members might be more likely to encounter peer pressure involving the decision in cases. Robinson said. Students might influence jury members to find a person innocent because they think expulsion from school is too harsh for punishment.

Also, when students have public trials, their future professors might read about it and hold it against them in class, she said.

"Public trials are hard on witnesses, too, because we have no subpoena power," Robinson said. Students give testimony voluntarily.

"I don't see, in the near future, ever having a public trial," she said.

Prosecution of Honor Code violauons follows three to four steps.

First, students or instructors report violations to the Honor Council, and the council sends investigation letters to students, informing them of the accusation. The letters advise students to see Dr. Robert Kobcm. the Honor Council coordinator, who informs studc-'j. of their rights and options.

They may plead guilty when they meet with Roberts.

"The investigation letter is very general," Robinson said. Prosecutors make them general "for a purpose — so they don't pin them on any one thing." Evidence sometimes comes out in a trial that students are guilty of more than one offense, she said.

If there is enough evidence, students receive a charge letter, which outlines the details of the case. The charge letter also informs students of their rights.

If there is not enough evidence to prove a student is guilty beyond a

■^reasonable doubt, the investigation is dropped.

Once students are charged, a student advocate and prosecutor investigate the case further. If there still is enough evidence to try the case in court, a trial date is set.

If students are tried, they may appeal lb-- trial if they feel their rights have been violated because of procedural problems or an unfair decision during the trial.

This semester, four investigations have been dropped. Currently, one charge is pending trial, and another case is being investigated.

College Bowl held at JMU for first time By Janice French staff writer

Thirty-two teams of four students each participated in the first and second rounds of JMU's College Bowl this week.

College Bowl is a trivia game that resembles "It's Academic," a high school trivia show that airs in the Washington D.C. mctropolilian area. College Bowl takes place yearly, but this is the first year JMU entered the competition.

JMU students were quizzed on a wide range of topics.

"The questions cover art, literature, music, history, science, math, current events, rock and roll, sports . . . you name it!" said Betsy Dominick, a coordinator of the event who works as a graduate student assistant in the student activities office.

Teams representing various clubs and organizations participated in this week's first round. After Tuesday night's contest, half of the teams had been eliminated.

At the completion of Wednesday's round, eight teams remained in the contest. Those teams will compete Monday night in the quarter, final, semi-final and final rounds.

College Bowl rounds begin with a toss-up question. The first individual to answer that question wins his or her team a chance to answer the bonus question that follows. There arc two scvcn-minulc rounds that follow this pattern and the team that accumulates the most points is the winner.

The team that wins Monday night's competition will represent half of JMU's team that will go on to compete at regional competition. The other four members of the team arc four

individuals from losing teams that arc selected by the moderators because they show outstanding individual ability.

At rcgionals, those eight JMU students will compete with other teams from colleges in Kentucky, Tcnnesse, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The winners of the regional competition go on to compete at nationals.

Mike Way, assistant director of student activities, explained problems with this year's tournament.

Planning the event "was a bit jerky,"

he said. "Wc had to learn by experience because wc were starting the program this year."

Cathy Young, a senior representing the International Association of Business Communicators, explained how her team prepared for the competition.

"II was hard to actually study because the questions are so varied. You should know current events though because you know they will ask you about that," she said.

Faculty and administration have

praised the program because it encourages competition for academic clubs, rather than athletic or social ones.

"It's a good way for student organizations to get together and do something besides party," said Gary Smallwood, one of the moderators for the tournament. "It was also a lot of fun."

Way said, "The College Bowl program reaches people that other programs can't."

Spring graduate killed in recent automobile accident Marinettc Urquhart, 23, a JMU

graduate whose goal was to be a stand-up comedienne, died Nov. 21 when her automobile was hit by train near her home in Chicago.

In a memorial service held in Grafton-Stovall Theatre Tuesday evening, theater professor Tom Arthur said Urquhart was a "rare, strong, remarkable person." *

Her sorority sisters in Alpha Kappa Alpha talked about Urquhart's bubbling personality.

A native of Stony Creek, Urquhart moved to the Chicago area shortly after she graduated from JMU last spring. She was working as a receptionist for an insurance company. She also had worked as a

model in Chicago. Urquhart's interest in comedy was

sparked by her success with the JMU forensics team. She won several trophies for hex performance as an aftCMlinncr speaker.

She also performed as a comedienne at Maxim's, the JMU campus nightclub that features student talent.

After moving to Chicago, Urquhart auditioned for the Second City comedy troupe, but did not make the troupe.

Urquhart majored in theatre at JMU. She served as assistant director of several plays and volunteered to raise funds for the annual Festival of the Arts.

Arthur said she was the most determined, if not the most gifted, student in many of his acting classes.

"Honcst-to-God courage is an extremely rare thing," Arthur said. "She had it.

"She understood that her ego wasn't the most important thing in the world," he said. "She was the last person in the world to think she was remarkable, but I think she was remarkable."

Urquhart participated in many charitable activities sponsored by AKA. The JMU chapter of the sorority has renamed a scholarship in her memory.

The $200 scholarship is awarded

each year to a freshman who exhibits high academic standards and a commitment to community service.

At the Tuesday evening memorial service, AKA member Cynthia Wright said that if Urquhart could send a message to her friends it would be to live each day to the fullest

"Tomorrow isn't promised to any of us," Wright said.

Urquhart is survived by her mother, Vinia Pride; her father, Cleveland Tucker, her sister, Lisa Tucker and her brothers, Antonio Pride and Kenneth Tucker.

SGA votes against restricted visitation By Kristine Kaplan SGA reporter

The Student Government Association Tuesday voted to go on record as favoring the abolishment of restricted visitation in all but one campus residence hall.

Converse senator Nanci Campbell introduced the bill of opinion, which favored abolishing all visitation restriction in future housing policies. During the meeting, the brll was amended to allow for one village area residence hall to have restricted visitation.

Campbell said she conducted a random telephone survey of 146 students to get other opinions about this issue. "The majority that I have talked to favor it," she said.

Of the 146 interviewed, 129 students were in favor of abolishing the restricted visitation, while 17 were opposed, Campbell said.

Greek senator Bob Houston said Campbell's statistics were impressive, adding, "There's no reason not to do it if so many students want it."

Commuter senator Chris Eckl disagreed. "You're going from one end of the spectrum to another," he said.

"You've ?onc from havins too much restricted visitation to having none at all.

"I think you have to make provisions for these people."

Gifford Senator Eric Snow suggested amending the bill so one hall in each area on campus, the Village, Lakeside and Blucstonc areas, would retain the four-day visitation policy, but would be given the option of changing the visitation policy after a certain time period.

/' "I don't think we should clo?c that

option to students," he said. Snow's amendment was defeated, but

the senate passed Campbell's amendment allowing for one restricted hall in the Village.

In other business, the finance committee killed a proposal to allocate $223.75 to the International Business Club.

Spokeswoman Nancy Julius said the committee felt the activity to be funded was more beneficial to the group's members than to the university as a whole.

The funds would have been used to develop a book containing resumes of the seniors in the club. These books

would be distributed to prospective employers. - •

The senate, passed a bill allocating $200 from its contingency account to the College Republicans for an issues conference held earlier this year.

The group's original request was for S950, but the finance committee amended the amount, removing S750 requested"Cfpay registration fees for a February convention. Julius said the committee fell the College Republicans would be able to raise the money before February .

The senate passed a bill of opinion to gc »n record in support of President Reagan's anti-drug bill. The bill was introduced and tabled at the last senate meeting.

Commuter senator John Martin said the senate should go on record in support of the legislation in an effort to stop drug use at JMU.

The food service committee killed a proposal to open PC Dukes for Sunday brunch.

Committee chairwoman Cindy Twining said the cost to open the facility for brunch would be

"^"astronomical." The committee did not feel students would want PC Dukes to open for brunch once they realized it

would increase the cost of food contract. Twining said the committee is

looking at ways to improve the Sunday brunch now served in the dining hall.

In new business, the following bills were proposed and referred to the appropriate standing committees:

•Eagle senator Jennifer ShowallCr re-submitted a proposal to establish a fund for Pamela Gladwcll.

Gladwell is the JMU student who was struck by a car on campus this semester. Money collected would help her family pay for the medical expenses she has incurred.

• Campbell proposed the SGA establish guidelines concerning which areas on campus will be designated as smoking and which will be non-smoking.

She said this proposal will clarify the bill of opinion passed at the last meeting favoring the establishment of non-smoking areas in public buildings on campus.

•Commuter senator Robert Dortch proposed Inter-Hall Council be allowed to receive S 196.21 from its reserve account. The money wdl be used to purchase a "Badge-A-Matic," which is a button maker.

Police charge two students with violence By Mix Dapolito police reporter

A student was treated and released at Rockingham Memorial Hospital before Thanksgiving after a fight in Weaver Hall, campus police said.

Two students were involved in the fight, which occurred about midnight Nov. 23 in the Village area dormitory, police said.

The students began to argue over unknown issues and one hit the other, police said. The injured student received seven stitches at Rockingham Memorial Hospital and was released.

. Both students were charged judicially with violence to persons, police said.

A judicial charge is made when university policy is violated. It is reviewed by university officials. Police do not release the names of students charged judicially.

Campus police also reported the following incidents:

Personal abuse •A student was judicially charged with verbally abusing a campus cadet for

ticketing the student's car about 9:40 p.m. Nov. 21, police said.

Grand larceny •Four Hoyt white bow handles valued at $100 each were reported stolen from the university indoor archery area between 8:30 p.m. Nov. 16 and 1:30 p.m. Nov. 17, police said. Also reported stolen was an Arten bow stringing gig, valued at $30, and an arrow straightener, valued at $100, both belonging to a member of the archery team. • About $250 worth of meal tickets given to prospective students visiting the campus were reported stolen from a locked file cabinet in Godwin Hall between Nov. 9 and Nov. 18, police said. Dining hall staff has been made aware of the series numbers of the stolen cards and will not accept them.

Petty larceny •Several items were reported stolen from a car parked in the head resident lot on Newman Drive between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Nov. 21, police said. No value or exact description of the items was available. •A jacket was reported stolen from Burruss Hall between 11:20 p.m. Nov. 23 and 12:55 a.m. Nov. 24, police said. No value was available. •A light-green canvas car cover was reported stolen between Nov. 17 and Nov. 23 from a car parked in X-lot, police said. The cover will fit any late model Mustang. No value was available.

Keezell Hall temperature exceeds level of comfort By Gretchen Hatcher staff writer

Keezell Hall is the hot place to be. Robin McNallic, associate professor

of English, said some days when he comes through the back door to go to his third floor office "it hits you like all the heat in the world has consolidated at one point."

Maintenance supervisor Phillip Dcanc -said officials are having trouble ' regulating the building's new heating system. Therefore, faculty and students are "suffering a little bit," he said.

Sophomore Christine Shuck said she thinks it is "a shame they have done all that renovating, yet the healing system is still a mess."

Many students find it difficult to concentrate on class lectures in Keezell.

"I find it hard to concentrate for an hour and 15 minutes when it's 85 degrees in the classroom," said sophomore Rick Dcchiaro.

Junior Bcthann O'Brien said, "If they don't turn the heat down by the final, I'll probably sleep through the whole thing."

Students are not the only ones who feel heat. M

An English 231 teacher whose class i« in Kcczcii toid his students several

weeks ago if they were not taking a midterm he would have cancelled class.

Dr. Bruce Busching, who teaches a sociology class in the building, said the classroom "is structurally the worst classroom I've ever taught in."

"I find it hard to concentrate for an hour and 15 minutes when it's 85 degrees in the classroom."

-Rick Dechiaro

He said that "predominantly because of the heat."

Dcanc said the contractors for Keezell Hall, Riddlcbergcr Bros., worked to "balance the [heating] system out" during Thanksgiving break, but the heat still is above normal in the building.

Our three-year and two-year scholarships won't

make college easier.

Just easier to pay for. Even if you didn't sfa>t college on a scholarship, you could finish on one. Army ROTC Scholarships pay for full tuition and allowances for educational fees and textbooks. Along with up to Sl.000 a year. Get all the facts. BE ALL YOU CAN BE.

Professor lectures by day, pic By Will Nash staff writer

He walks quickly into his American Literature class, his head lowered, making his 5-foot-8-inch frame look even smaller. He slams his books on the table and begins pushing empty chairs and desks away from the area he plans to walk in during class.

He is five minutes late, intentionally, in hopes that everyone who is coming to class is already there. He gathers his notes on the labletop podium, adjusts his bifocals on his small, round face, and, for the first time, looks at the class, thinking by now he has everyone's attention.

Just then a girl sheepishly walks in, stops to explain, in private, why she is late and turns to find a seat.

"She had to take a shower," says the teacher, and he smiles as the class snickers. "Does anybody have anything intelligent to say, or is this going to be like every Tuesday?"

"I want to know what the kids of Puritan times thought of the way they were being forced to live," one student says.

"They felt wonderful," the teacher exclaims. "Any other questions?"

"How was your weekend?" another student asks.

Ah! The question I was wailing for, the teacher thinks

"Glad you asked that question," he says. "It was great. Our band played from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. First my fingers got sore. Then my wrist got sore. Then my whole arm was sore. But 1 kept playing."

The teacher is Dr. Cameron Nickels, professor of English, and the band is Dominion Express.

Nickels plays guitar and fiddle, and sings tor the bluegrass group. He says he likes to begin his classes by talking about his weekends, which include playing in the band, because it puls'vhim on a more personal level with students and makes both teacher and students more comfortable.

"I used to be afraid to let my students get to know me, but [as he has developed as a teacher] I find this method is more effective," Nickels says. "I like to talk about my playing in the band because I like the students to sec me as more than just another face. It makes me seem more human to them."

Senior Kat Tyler, a student of Nickels', says, "I like [hearing about his music] because it gives us some insight into his personal life. He's not someone who just comes into class, lectures and leaves."

Michelle Maddox, also one of Nickels' students, says, "He has a real enthusiasm for leaching and music, and it shows. I look forward to goifig to h^ class."

By day, Dr. Cameron Nickels teaches American literature courses.

Nickels received his bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University and his doctorate from the University of Minnesota. He began teaching at JMU in 1971 and has remained here since. .v/

In his time here. Nickels has published numerous articles, such as "New England Humor in Print" and "New England Humor and the Dilemma of National Identity," in scholarly journals and serves on many campus-wide committees such as the Women's Caucus.

Despite his busy academic life, he finds time to play at least eight hours a week with his band.

Dominion Express is a bluegrass group that plays old-time country music, folk music, '30s and '40s dance tunes and an occasional rock 'n' roll number.

There arc four band members: Nickels — or "Doc," as the band calls him, Glen Kniccly on banjo, Kenny Miller on bass and patriarch Wilbur "Two Gun" Terry on fiddle and mandolin.

Dominion Express plays weddings, picnics and parties, and most Saturday nights, the boys pack up for a 45-minute drive to perform in Bcrgton.

Bergton is lucked away in the southwestern corner of Rockingham County at the base of

Shcncndoah Mountain. After loosening up with a bottle of Mad Dog and some Slrohs, the band plays in an old wood-frame school house-turned-community center.

"Bergton is a really different place to play," Nickels says. "The people there arc true mountain folks, who come down on Saturday nights for some entertainment."

He says it's a great experience for the band to play in such a real mountain environment, even though the pay is not all that good and the group usually must pass a hat to collect gas money.

Nickels began his musical training as a child, when he learned to play the harmonica. In high school he learned to play the guitar and trombone. Later, in college, he learned to play the fiddle. By the lime he was in graduate school, he was giving music lessons to earn extra money.

He takes his musical success in stride. "I don't know what to say when people come

to me and say, 'You guys sound really good,'" he says. "I don't really want to believe them, because if 1 do, I might stop trying as hard lo get better."

Nickels likens his music to writing. "You have to keep doing it to get better." Every Wednesday night. Dominion Express

Nickels tries to hide a grin. "We did that once at a benefit for reformed alcoholics," he says.

After four hours at Two Gun's house, the band slows its pace. They play a verse of "May the Circle Be Unbroken." "Stormin' Norman," a neighbor who was clogging on the porch has settled down in the swinging chair.

The band gently cases into a verse of "Amazing Grace," and CVeryone sings along. At once, as if on cue, the instruments arc quiet, and the group of 15 people sings a cappella in the dead of night. The song ends, and for a few seconds there is

no sound except the chirping of crickets and the hum of a distant highway.

The silence is broken by a slap on someone's knee as a player stands and proclaims, "I reckon that's a night for mc."

Everyone is in agreement, including Nickels, who will be up late preparing for his Thursday classes. But he doesn't mind. Teaching is the career of his choice and one he enjoys.

He admits that, after 22 years of leaching, he still gets nervous sometimes in front of a class.

"It's like playing in front of people with the band," he says. "I am nervous at first, but once things start flowing, I just have a good lime with it"

Nickels says if he could make a living playing bluegrass, "I might like to try it for a year or two, but I would miss teaching."

He says he likes his life the way it is now. He loves teaching, and he loves playing music — in that order.

And before Thursday's class hears anything about Puritan children, they will hear a few minutes about late hours and sore fingers.

New musical by JMU grad to open tonight

i»

By Mark Longenbach staff writer

If you walk into the JMU Experimental Theatre this weekend, don't be surprised if you hear live music. Don't be bewildered if you see dancing. And don't be alarmed if you see a homosexual housekeeper singing and dusting furniture. It's only Leo.

Sound interesting? This week, JMU's Experimental Theatre has

something different to offer. Most plays in Wamplcr Building have small casts and use few props and pre-recorded music.

"All's Fair," a musical with extensive scenery and a live band breaks these standards. This musical, written by JMU graduate Sarah Motes, tells the story of a woman named Wanda.

Wanda, played by senior Lisa Luther, was one of those really fat girls that got made fun of all her life. That is, until she went to a fat farm in Alaska. Now she's back, with a new figure and a new name, Arlcne, and she's plotting revenge on those who once teased her.

Enter Lorraine, played by senior Lisa Nygaard, Wanda's old roommate, a girl who seems to fall in love at the drop of a hat. Every guy seems to be Mr. Right, yet she's not happy.

Wanda moves back in with Lorraine and begins tc plot against her main target, her ex-boyfriend. Bill, whom she thinks only dated her out of pity. With her new look and name, she plans to deceive Bill, played by music faculty member Mac Lambert, and give him the runaround.

Meanwhile, Lorraine meets another Mr. Right, Andrew. Only this time, he is willing to take Lorraine to be his Mrs. Right. But now, Lorraine is unsure that she needs a Mr. Right.

Sound confusing? It is! What these girls need is some order in their liyes. Enter Leo, the girls' new "maid," played by senior Rob Mascari.

"All's Fair" is directed by senior Tcrri Durant, a theatre minor, who says she is drawn towards directing.

"I really wanted to direct this play." Durant says. "Sarah wanted me to direct it, and I gladly accepted. The combination of experimental and musical theatre seemed loo good to pass up."

The live music is provided by Ann-Carol Pence on keyboards, Brian Duffy and Michelle Hammond on drums and Toby Seay on bass. Pence, a senior, co-wrote all of the play's music and lyrics with Motes. She also assisted choreographer Eddie Whitchurst with the dance arrangements. Whitchurst, a senior, also plays the role of Andrew.

When writing the music. Pence says she decided not to stick to one basic style, because of the different attitudes of the characters.

"I decided that in order to make the music complement the characters, I would write different styles rather than sticking with pop."

The play has a sexist theme of sorts, which is evidenced by the attitudes of the main characters, Wanda and Lorraine, toward men.

Pence says she feels this is due to Motes' writing. "Sarah writes about what she knows best, women's fcclings.Thcrc arc more plays based on men's feelings, and they aren't considered sexist. The way one perceives things is the way it is real. This play is the way that Wanda and Lorraine perceive things, so it is real to them."

"All's Fair" will be presented Dec. 4-7 at 8 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Tickets arc S2.50.

New dance company to give debut concert By Terri Hickman staff writer

The JMU Repertory Touring Company makes its campus debut tonight in Latimcr-Shaeffcr Theater, Duke Fine Arts Center, at 8 p.m.

The seven-member dance company is made up of two (acuity members, Cynthia Thompson and Kate Trammel and five students, Alice Howes, Deborah Mauldin, Maria Sorongon, Wendy Stevens and Lisa Thomas.

The debut concert consists of six pieces, most of which arc modern dance, although other influences are seen in the works. The company started working on the dances last spring, and began practicing two hours a day in September.

Trammel, who is director of the company, says, People attending the concert will have a good opportunity to see a wide range of professional choreography. "I think it's important for people to see non-local choreography, and to get a look at what is happening in modern dance in other parts of the world, through our local performers."

The concert starts out with a modern jazz piece choreographed by Robin Patterson, entitled "Her Factory." This piece is followed by "Ladies Sing the Blues," a light-hearted choreography by Elyn Fcldman, which involves two solo numbers and two ducts and features guest student actors Mark McKcll and Christopher Boycr.

The next piece, "Ancestral Memories," choreographed by Mcrk»m Rosen, is the only other piece in which all seven members perform together. "Ancestral Memories" is followed by a specially choreographed piece called "Garden Lilacs" by world-famous choreographer Rcmy Charlip.

The concert continues with "Glass Houses", a duct by Thompson and Trammel, and "Gumbo Dancer," a premier modern dance to Cajun zydeco music choreographed by Trammel.

"1 am very excited about this concert because this group of dancers works together well and has a sense of give-and-take that is important on suige as performers," Trammel says. "I've seen several of the students grow a lot

over the past year, and I think this concert has work they can really sink their teeth into and show the kind of growth they have been experiencing."

The concert will run tonight through Saturday. Tickets can be purchased at the door and are $2 with JMU ID tonight and S3 Friday and Saturday.

Dukes run over VMI, 74-68 By Rob Washburn sports editor

Of all ihc things that plagued the JMU men's basketball team during its 5-23 campaign last season, there was probably no bigger problem than the team's lack of confidence. The Dukes dropped their first three games by a total of nine points and never seemed to recover.

But after capturing a 74-68 victory over VMI before an energetic crowd of 4,156 Monday at the Convocation Center, JMU head coach John Thurslon and his players were brimming with excitement about the upcoming season. The win, combined with Friday's 88-59 triumph over St. Paul's, put the Dukes at 2-0 for the first time since 1981, and gave them their first two-game winning streak since February of 1985.

"Last year, this was a loss," Thurston said. "We would'vc found a way last year to lose this game, but today we hung on and got five-second calls when we needed them to win the game. I'm very proud of them. We have to learn how to win, and tonight was a step in the right direction."

Much of the reason for the Dukes' success this season can be attributed to JMU's new fast-paced offense and pressure man-to-man defense. The Dukes have forced 43 turnovers in their first two games and nearly half of their points against the Kcydcts came on layups or dunks.

"I thought we played tremendous defense," Thurston said. "Evcrytimc we needed it defensively, we got it. I thought we ran the break well in the first half and got some easy baskets."

Leading the break was the catalyst of the JMU run-and-gun offense, junior point guard Benny Gordon. The transfer from Trinidad State scored 10 points, dished off six assists, made five steals and, according to Thurston, is the key to this season's success.

"Benny's been doing a great job of finishing the play," Thurston said. "The difference between tonight and last year was that Benny gave us three or four easy baskets. Last year we wouldn't have had that, so we had to snuggle for every basket. It gives you the lead instead of battling back and forth." •

It was a barrage of fast-break baskets that allowed the Dukes to blow a close game open midway through the first half. Trailing by one, JMU ran off 13 straight points over the next five

minutes to take a 23-11 lead with 10:1 i to go in the half. Of the 13 points, eight came on layups or dunks.

"Our inexperience really showed tonight," VMI head coach Joe Cantafio said. "I don't think our kids really believed JMU could go up and down the court that quick. A couple of times Lcnnon Mings ran straight back and he still got beat by 20 yards in the first half."

The Keydcts cut the lead to six, but the Dukes were able to pull away again, taking a 48-35 lead into halftimc.

JMU continued its attack on VMI early in the second half. The Kcydcts got no closer than nine for the first 14 minutes of the period, and a Ralph Glenn jumper gave the Dukes a 71-55 lead with 6:53 remaining.

Then the bottom fell out. In trying to protect the lead, the Dukes switched to a slower tempo and failed to score for the next six minutes. Meanwhile, VMI's leading scorer Gay Elmorc caught fire and brought his team within five with 1:52 remaining. Thurston said nerves may have been a big reason for the collapse.

"We've been working on getting the lead," Thurslon said. "We haven't spent a whole lot of time on protecting the lead in practice. It's a new thing for us.

"I think what happened was that wc got a little cautious with six or seven minutes to go. When you sec that lead breaking down, you lighten up a little bit and we made some dumb plays."

Unlike last season, when the Dukes blew lurtftimc leads in 10 games, JMU was p$>«Lto put the game away. Wiih :52Nfcm,atning, Kennard Winchester broke Mwhlthc left baseline and dunked the balrAvw two Keydcl defenders to end the scoreless streak and give JMU a 73-66 advanta^^^,

Winchester led the Dukes in scoring for the second straight game with 21 points and was followed by Eric "Boo Boo" Brent with 17. Senior captain John Newman scored just four points, but had three steals and led JMU with nine rebounds.

Against St. Paul's in the opener, JMU cruised to an easy 29-point victory after leading by as many as 38 in the second half. The Dukes' running game was very effective and five players scored in double figures. The most impressive performance was turned in

Split improves JMU ranking By Mark Charnock *r managing editor

Against three teams that participated in the NCAA tournament a year ago, JMU came out a winner, a loser and two notches higher in this week's Associated Press poll following their perfromance at the Bowling Green [Ky.] Bank Invitational last weekend.

"As I said going in, those were four good teams, four NCAA teams of a year ago," JMU head coach Shelia Moorman said after her team finished the tournament 1-1 and ranked 17th by the AP this week. "Somebody was going to come out of that weekend 0-2... you're just in hopes that doesn't happen to you.

"If you can come out of there one and one and you got in the finals and played well against one of the best teams in the country, you have a lot to be proud of."

JMU started the tournament with a 74-73 victory over Missouri, a team picked by most to win the Big Eight conference this year. To win, the Dukes had to erase a 10-point halfitme deficit.

"In the Missouri game we started off slow and had to come back," Moorman said. "We went from down by 10 to up by seven in a period of about 10 to 12 minutes.

"You don't like to have to do that, but I think it did show us that wc could come back and I thought for that reason it was a good experience. Wc had to score a lot of points to get back in that game."

The win over the Tigers set up the rematch between JMU and host Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppcrs stopped JMU's Cinderella ride through the NCAA's last season with a 72-51 victory in the round of 16. Western beat Arkansas 86-76 Friday to get to the championship game.

Western Kentucky entered the game ranked 13th in the nation, but the Dukes were in control for much of the game until Clemette Haskins' jumper with 1:27 left gave the Hilltoppcrs the 54-53 win.

"It was a great game," Moorman said. "It was a very disappointing way to lose.

"They scored the first basket and then we led the rest of the game until the last two minutes...It was disappointing

to lose it, but other than that it was a great experience."

The tournament also was a great experience for transfer Sydney Beasley. The junior center scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds in her 23 minutes against Missouri, and was named to the all-toumamcnt team.

"She really sparked us and helped us start our comeback (against Missouri)," Moorman said. "We know Sydney has the potential to be a great player, it's just a matter of when it's going lo happen."

With all the right things clicking into place, Moorman sees this year's squad far ahead of where it was at this time last year.

"I thought for the first two times out, those were two super ballgames," Moorman said. "To me it looked like teams that were mid-stride [form] of the season, not early-season form.

"I believe that for stretches, we were a better team last weekend than wc were at the end of last season."

One of the reasons for that is the increased depth the Dukes have this year. Moorman has what she terms "eight starters" on this year's squad, and that could make the difference in the tight games this season.

"We knew going in we had eight real solid players," she said. "Any five of those eight could start, it didn't really matter.

"All of those eight played a lot of minutes over the weekend... There's not much difference from one to another."

The Dukes now look ahead to this weekend's George Washington Invitational that includes D.C. area teams Howard, Georgetown and GWU. Although the competition won't be as lough, the Dukes would like to come out of this one with two good wins and some momentum for their Dec. 11 matchup with Virginia. The Cavaliers are ranked eighth this week in the AP poll. Moorman, however, insists on uiking one game at a lime.

"Virginia is not even on my mind, right now," she said. "We're worried about Howard Friday night in hopes lhal we can win that first game and get in the finals and win ourselves a

tournament this weekend. We'd like to get two good wins and continue to build momentum."

JMU will need that momentum if it plans to contend with the rest of its schedule. After meeting with Virginia, the Dukes have another meeting with Howard at home, Radford away and then on to the LaSalle Invitational tourney in Philadelphia before entering conference play. Moorman is certain that playing against some good teams early on will help her squad prepare better.

"A year ago we opened at Virginia and they beat us by 14, but yet I thought we learned a lot from the experience," Moorman said. "When you have a veteran team that should have a lot of confidence going into it, I think the best thing to do is play good competition.

"You sure find out in a hurry the things you need to work on...Thc only way we're going to get bcllcr is lo keep playing good people."

By playing good companion like they met at Western's tournament, the Dukes also should be able to maintain their standing in the polls.

"Wc suffered what's called a good loss (at Western]...," Moorman said. "It's tough to call that a loss, and I'm sure that that's how everybody across the country that was-involvcd in that poll felt about it too. That was ihe reason we were able to move up."

Gordon leads resurgence of running style By Greg McCormick staff writer

JMU head basketball coach John Thurston's attempt to install an up-tempo offense last year lasted for one game, as the Dukes lost a running battle with VMI 91-88. JMU went on to finish with a 5-23 record.

In this year's contest against the Keydets, the Dukes again used an aggressive running style. The outcome, however, was much different as JMU opened a 16-poinj-lead en route to a 74-68 win and its second consecutive win.

Some may look to the return of forward Kennard Winchester, who led all scorers with 21 points, or the consistent 17-point performance from senior guard Eric "Boo Boo" Brent.

Indeed, that offensive punch is a major factor, but someone had to get them the ball. Enter Benny Gordon.

As a transfer from Trinidad State [Colo.], the 6-foot junior registered seven assists and gathered in four steals lo lead the Dukes to their best season-opening start in over four seasons.

Gordon has slipped right into a role that the Dukes needed desperately to fill, a point guard

capable of moving a team quickly downcourt. Success is something to which Gordon is no

stranger. While enrolled at Trinidad State, Gordon started

in 71 of 72 games and his teams finished with a 61-11 mark.

In his final junior college season, Gordon's team finished with a 35-4 record.

In addition to averaging 12.4 points and over seven assists per game, he set assist records with 20 in a regular-season game, and 13 in a playoff contest. Trinidad State finished last year in eighth place in the national junior college basketball playoffs.

Since moving his game to JMU, the 180-pounder has taken up where he left off a year ago, much to Thurston's delight.

After two games this season, Gordon has registered 13 assists and nine steals helping JMU to ils best start in over four seasons. In addition, the Dukes' two-game win streak is the team's first in over a year. #

"Benny's doing a fine job of finishing the play," Thurston said after the VMI win. "He gave us three or four easy baskets fagainst the Keydets] because

/

he finished the play. That was the difference in the game."

Both coach and team alike have quickly realized the importance of Gordon's contributions as a passer and a motivator as well.

"He's a tcriffic passer, all the guys know that," Winchester said. "If Benny can see a little hole, wc can get the ball."

Added team captain John Newman, "He makes everybody else play belter. If you want lo score, you'll get downcourt and everybody runs.'1

For Brent, Gordon's presence on the floor drives

him that much harder. ' , "When I sec the ball go to Benny, it gels me in

my lane," Brent said. "You know he's going to get you the ball if you're open."

And, while his counterparts reap the benefits of his passes, Gordon is reaping benefits of a different kind.

"I just like to have fun, and basketball is fun to me," he said with a wide smile across his face. "I've been playing for 14 years and you have to enjoy the game to play. It's just my thing."

Wilson takes scoring crown

JMU senior forward Sandy Wilson, the NCAA's leading goal-scorer, was named to the 16-playcr College Field Hockey ,.Coaches Association all-America first team.

Wilson is the first Dukes' player to receive all-America honors in field hockey. An all-South Atlantic Conference and all-South region selection, she set an all-time JMU record with 64 goals and 143 points.

Wilson led the nation in total goals this year with 33 in 24 games. She placed fourth nationally in average goals per game [1.38].

Dukes' forward Mona Ryabik scored 25 goals for JMU this season. She ranked sixth in toial goals and eighth in average goals per game [1.04].

SOCCER

JMU coach Tom Martin was selected Wednesday as the 1986 Colonial Athletic Association coach of the year, while two Dukes' players were named to the all-CAA first team at a coaches' meeting in Richmond.

Martin led the Dukes to a 12-3-3 record, the third-best winning percentage in JMU history. He helped turn around a squad that finished 4-11 in 1985.

JMU senior back Kurt Lucdy and junior midfielder Frank Radics made the 14-playcr all-CAA first team. American also had two players selected to the squad, while George Mason and William and Mary each had three.

The Dukes registered wins against nationally ranked Old Dominion and 1985 NCAA runner-up American. They only lost one game [Richmond] to a non-NCAA tournament team.

Gordon- >■ (Continued from page 19)

If needed in the future, however, Gordon will not hesitate to take a few shots of his own.

"I know I can score, but the point guard is not really the scorer," he said. "He's the guy that gels the team happy

*and I try to do that."

Right now, it looks as if Gordon and the rest of the Dukes will be having fun together for a while.

"It seems like they [his teammates] like playing with mc," Gordon said after the VMI victory. "Because they know I can get easy buckets for them, it helps their [scoring] average," he added with a wide smfic.

JMU travels to Virginia Toch this Saturday and then returns home next Sunday to play Old Dominion. Thurston is hoping the team's early success will be contagious.

"Winning makes you feel a little belter the next lime out," he said. "You get to rely on each other a linlc bit more.

"We're taking it one step at a time.

Last year we were awful and we lost to everybody. This year we're trying to build back to the point where we can compete with the top teams. After disaster, you have to get back to mediocre."

Unpopular deal The awful truth was reported by The Washington Post on Tuesday:

after almost six years of overwhelming popularity, President Ronald Reagan's public approval rating has dropped 21 points resulting from weeks of revelations about his administration's attempts to free American hostages through indirect ransom payments.

Weapons were delivered to Iran and monetary payments were arranged (but never completed) through billionaire H. Ross Perot despite the president's previous pledge to refuse all negotiations with terrorists. Once again, Reagan's words don't match up with his deeds, but this time his popularity is taking a beating for it.

The question we ask is why hasn't this happened before? Reagan's presidency is littered with erroneous statements. In 1983, he

justified the U.S. invasion of Grenada on the grounds that it was a "rescue mission," despite the fact that U.S. airborne troops had to invade the island to perform the "rescue." But the American public accepted this.

Later the same year, Reagan found it necessary to protect U.S. marines in Beirut from further terrorist attacks by "redeploying" them to a "more defensible position" on board a fleet of ships. U.S. forces were spared the humiliation of an acknowledged retreat, and the American people reelected Reagan with the biggest electoral landslide in history.

Blessed with this comfortable mandate, Reagan has since insisted that counter-revolutionary forces [Contras] fighting the leftist government of Nicaragua are "freedom fighters," a propaganda label probably used to reassure Americans that their country backs the good guys. Although most Americans still oppose Contra aid, Reagan's Orwellian butchering of the English language apparently didn't dent his own massive popularity.

Until now. Insisting that the United States won't negotiate with terrorists while secretly buying off a terrorist-backing government is too much for the American people to swallow, and the latest polls show it. But why has it taken six years for it to happen?

The above editorial is the opinion of The Breeze editorial board.

'Christmas burn out' could destroy holidays It's the first week of December and the Christmas

season is ready to shift into hi^h gear. Although Christmas products first appeared in late October, December is the month to avoid the most common malady from the holiday season: Christmas burnout.

Many people get depressed at Christmas, a supposedly joyous time of year. Personally, I think most of these people just burn out. They finish their shopping in early November, get their Christmas cards out before Thanksgiving and decorate on Dcc.l. By the time the week before Christmas rolls around, they're sick of Santa, Christmas specials, Christmas songs, Christmas commercials, Christmas decorations, Christmas trees, etc. They're sick of Christmas. In short they have Christmas burn out.

Christmas burn out, the disease caused by the commercialization and overcxtension of the Christmas season, is a very real threat to ruin your Christmas. Unless you take appropriate action, your Christmas may peak before Dec. 15.

How does one avoid Christinas burn out? The first step is to not start the season with the stores. Many stores had Christmas ornaments silting out beside Halloween masks last October and rumor has it that next year they'll introduce Christmas products 10 days earlier to create the 12 weeks of Christmas. Let's get real. Do you really need 60 or 70 days to shop for ' Christmas? By starting your shopping later in the season you can help avoid the ultimate form of Cliristmas bum out: expired Christmas lights. It used to be that you'd buy lights one Christmas and they'd

burn out before the next Christmas. Now you can buy them early enough in the year that their three-week planned obsolescence sets in before Christmas and you have to go shopping for more.

Shopping at malls isn't such a good idea cither. It's usually easier to park on campus than at a mall during the Christmas rush. And you can avoid blue-light special injuries caused by ovcrzcalous shoppers. Also, often-heard comments like "I can't wait to get this over" and "Christmas is such a hassle" from burned out shoppers coupled with

GETTING REAL

Carl Johnson

"Curistmas sucks" from overworked, temporary sales people making minimum wagc.won't do much for j our Christmas spirits.

Also avoid television. Too often you're watching Santa rather than Santa watching you. Although the Grineh and Mr. Magoo specials arc some high quality Christmas programming, most people don't need to see the same special for the 18th time. And commercials are usually depressing too. If it isn't blatant commercialization of the holiday, it's the introduction of toys belter than wc had when we were

kids. And potential dangers will be brought out by consumer advocates who will be all over the tube deploring this year's killer toys, whether it's an asbestos-stuffed teddy bear or functioning hand gun and warning parents not to buy them for children.

Radio, especially Harrisonburg radio, is another source of Christmas bum out. Grandma will get run

over by a reindeer for the millionth time, Christmas muzak will be heard in stores and Jose Fcliciano, who sings "Fete Navidad" about 40 limes in the same song, will bum out after only one listening.

This year, like the last few, will probably offer a bumper crop of Santa-gone-bad movies. With past movies depicting Santa as a rapist and child molester, movies with titles like "My Bloody Christmas" or "Santa Does San Diego" can't be too far off. A movie with Clint Eastwood dressed as Santa gunning down the mob is probably already in the making.

So where can one find the real joy of Christmas? At home with the family siuing at a halftime dinner flanked by a Duraflame fire and artificial Christmas tree. If this doesn't cut it, then possibly you'll find it at church. Many people only go to church on Christmas. I haven't been since last Christmas but that's because my brother threw up in a pew.

To me, the special feeling experienced at church during a midnight mass is the true spirit of Christmas. But no matter what you do, avoid Christmas bum out and have a great Christmas.

Bill violates freedom of choice To the editor:

1 am not supportive of Nanci Campbell's bill to abolish four-day visitation as a housing option. It is true that visitation restrictions do not reflect the desires of most students on campus, but there is one issue that it does support: freedom of choice. I believe that it is the fact that JMU offers many options to all kinds of students that makes JMU a university ahead of the times.

Having a housing option of four- day or seven-day visitation does not restrict any student who wants to live in a seven-day dorm to limited visitation. There is only one dorm on campus, Wine-Price Hall, whish still has four-day visitation. The chances of a person who opts for seven-day getting a room in Wine- Price is nill and none. And should such an occasion arise, the chances that such a student could not switch dorms are even smaller.

However, should there be no choice because seven-day visitation

is the only option, a person wanting to live in a limited visitation dorm does not have that choice. Therefore, that student is forced to live in an environment with his roommates and suitematcs that conflict with his particular lifestyle.

I believe that having options encourages university students on campus to choose a lifestyle that supports his own personal values and morals. This is an opportunity to learn about the real world because when JMU students graduate and are out on their own, the same type of decisions concerning lifestyles must be made.

In view of these ideas, I hope that JMU continues to support the "differences in age, experience, and values among residence hail students."

Cartoon slights honor code To the editor:

Recently The Breeze comic "The Real World" Keith Turner has been presenting a scries on the JMU Honor System. While I have read and enjoyed many of Mr. Turner's comics and I admire his artistic ability, I have recently had some real world trouble with his view of the JMU Honor Code.

Mr. Turner has consistently presented a stilted and unfair view of the efforts of those who work to maintain the JMU Honor Code. He has portrayed them as black-hooded executioners and crazed maniacs whose only goal is to nail innocent, unsuspecting students. It is Mr. Turner's impression that we assume all students to be guilty until proven innocent.

This is a ridiculous assumption and it reflects Mr. Turner's ignorance of both

the Honor System and the students involved. In the real world we investigate every report turned in. We talk to all the students and faculty involved. We make sure a student is aware of his or her rights and we make sure that they have representation.

All students arc presented with all the Options available to them. There arc no threats or assumptions of guilt and Mr. Turner's paranoid attitude exists only in his "Real World" and not in the rcalitv of the JMU Honor Code.

The only question left to ask is, how did Mr. Turner get such a stilted view of our Honor System?

The question: Reagan or Robert Scorpio ? The other day I was hanging out in my r.

engrossed in the latest adventures of Robert Scorpio when my suitcmate Pamela appeared in my doorway thumbing through the latest issue of The Breeze.

"I can't believe this!" she almost screamed as she looked at me in utter disbelief.

"I know, I know already," I said calmly, reaching for a chocolate chip cookie. "Scorpio is back. Actually, he's been back for awhile."

"No, not that!" she said, still shaking her head. "It says here that the faculty senate has approved shortening the drop/add period. And the SGA has not made a move to respond!"

"So, what," I mumbled with my eyes glued to the TV.

"So, what? You ask so what? You, the woman who owes her outstanding grade point average to the fact that you were able to attend the institution allowing you to bail out Of a biology class, two math classes and two Spanish classes during your college career? This could have serious consequences on a student like you! Aren't vou worried?"

"Does it go into effect tomorrow?" I asked impatiently.

"No," she replied. "But it's something we as students should be concerned about. Don't you care?"

Knowing an affirmative answer would prolong her stay and a negative answer would make her leave in anger and would allow me to watch the rest of my soap in peace, I chose the latter.

"Look," I sighed. "This place is full of people with enough education to handle the situation as they sec fit. OH MY GOD, THEY JUST SHOT SCORPIO.

OH NO. I hope they are not going to take him again? I'll just have to write the network. This just can't happen. He's the best actor on the show!"

When I looked up again my suitcmate had wandered back to her room. No matter, I had to hurry to get to work on lime.

After work, I rushed back to the dorm to catch the last half of "The Cosby Show". When I got there. President Reagan was on the TV screen.

"What's going on here?" I asked Pam suspiciously. "Where is "The Cosby Show"?"

conference. Sit down and listen. You may learn something."

"I've got a room full of books upstairs if I want to learn," I quipped. "We aren't going to war, arc we?"

"No, but it turns out we arc giving arms to countries with unstable governments. Dangerous stuff, would you agree?" Pam asked.

"Arc the Contras fighting the Iranians again? I don't want to hear any more about that mess. We should stay out of the entire mess and just let them blow themselves up."

"The Contras are fighting the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and Iran is fighting Iraq," Pam said

patiently. "Why don't you come and listen?" "No thanks!" I griped as 1 huffed upstairs to my

room. The next day Pam and I were eating lunch when a

mutual friend asked us to attend a lecture with her that afternoon. I was outraged! "Four o'clock on a Friday afternoon? What about happy hour! This has been one lousy week. Two tests, Scorpio gets shot, "The Cosby Show" was cancelled and now you want me to hear a lecture during the only bright spot of my week! GEEZ! You guys are going to happy hour with me at JM's, aren't you?"

Pam and Sue exchanged glances and Pam cleared her throat to speak.

"Cyndi, you know we can't go to JM's since they raised the drinking age!"

"That's right, I forgot. I think I heard something about that once or twice last year. I wondered what ever became of all die ruckus."

"If I remember correctly^Sjjc_added, "You said it wouldn't effect me so v^hy bother getting involved with all the hoopla? ^^

"I said that? My, it doesn't 3ound like me. I was probably busy. You knew^ I had 18 hours both semesters last year."

"No, the meetings to organize against it coincided with General Hospital so you blew them off. It didn't really effect you."

"Look, I've got to get ready to go," Pam said standing up. "Have fun at happy hour."

"Yeah," I mumbled. "I'll have a blast!"
