Parties are a recurring point of contention between administrators and students, specifically the open-door party scene for which JMU has become renown. And while our university is a friendly and welcoming place, at what point does this culture do more harm than good? Facebook is a powerful social networking tool, sometimes more powerful and more far-reaching than we realize. An open event on Facebook can grow exponentially as invites spread like a contagion. Anyone can show up at the door of your party with 15 strangers. While no one is trying to advocate bouncers and velvet rope, it’s important to realize the potential risks of letting the “confirmed guests” get out of control. We have all been advised against the infamous red cup photo in the quite reasonable fear that future employers won’t be interested in underaged drinkers. It’s time we started thinking about who else has access to our online lives. It’s time we started making steps to protect ourselves, and started closing the door when needed. A Time for Praise Whitten Maher | gadfly Last week, in Florence, Italy, President Linwood Rose presented a paper on the link between higher education and economic development. This wasn’t, however, a presentation to small group of educators in Florence. This was for the European Union Conference on Transatlantic Knowledge Sharing, a momentous occasion for our university and one that went nearly unannounced. Few even knew that Rose was out of the country. At the End of the Day It’s been a critical time for the university and Harrisonburg these past few weeks, and we’ve seen our names in the news for all of the wrong reasons.

TToopp TTeenn Things to Do As You Graduate:

10. Take pictures with James Madison and Duke Dog. James Madison – one of the nation’s founders and the university’s namesake and Duke Dog. After your years at JMU, these two are practically family! 9. Visit the Quad and Newman Lake one last time. You’ve met and enjoyed time with friends in these prime campus locations. You’ve experienced periodic romps across the Quad and sunbathed in both places. Be sure to walk them one last time. 8. Dress up your mortar board. Make a personal statement or express your school spirit. White tape and glitter suggested. 7. Thank Mom and Dad. After all of the emotional and financial support, your parents need a huge pat on the back. 6. Catch one last view of Virginia from Reddish Knob. A must -- one last white-knuckle drive to the highest peak in northern Virginia. No other peak rises higher to the northeast before New York’s Adirondacks. 5. Buy a class ring. Keep the memories of JMU at hand – styled to show your college spirit. . 4. Sign up for season tickets. Join the Duke Club and sign up for season tickets. It is best to do this as soon as you graduate to guarantee priority seating to the games. 3. Stock up on Dukes gear. Don’t hide your pride. You can never have too much purple and gold!!!!!! 2. Be an active Duke with the Alumni Association. Stay in touch with JMU via the Newsletter, alumni directory and service opportunities. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

When I got into stand-up, a dream of mine at D-Hall was to have my own show at JMU, but I never thought about how I would go about doing this. My column at The Breeze gave me the 3 3 opportunity to do this three times, and I Visit the arboretum can’t thank The Breeze and the people who Katie Thisdell / The Breeze came to the shows enough for giving me the opportunity to make that dream come true.

Unlike any tradition, only one represents the enduring connec- tion to the university like any other: Commencement. Since the first graduation ceremonies in 1910, the university has grown by leaps and bounds, both physi- cally expanding and strengthening the academic integrity of the institution. With each graduating class comes a new generation of alumni, leaving behind a legacy of Madison traditions and taking with them a wealth of life-skills and knowledge. While the Class of 2010 may be the largest class yet and procedural ceremonial changes have occurred, the fundamental traditions and historical precedence of graduation still remain true.
