James Madison University Monday, October 25,1982 Vol.60 No. 16 Tradition Coming home to hangovers Traditionally, Homecoming weekend is not a topic for a review. But Jim Denery, The Breeze's features editor, says he never was one for tradition. Here are his com- ments: Early Saturday morning, the JMU campus embodied one large hangover. Even though it was a beautiful morning — clear and crisp — nobody was out unless they had to be. And at 9 a.m., the only people who had to be were The Royal Mar- ching Dukes, the Army ROTC unit, security cadets and me. The cause of the hangover was a Friday night full of partying, in- cluding a party at Ashby that dominated many conversations the rest of the weekend. It was Homecoming. At 9 a.m., a campus that had ex- uded so much life the night before was a scene of quiet death. The Royal Marching Dukes began their rehearsal for the day's coming halftime show with a warmup. The slow, sorrowful sound oozing from the brass section reminded me of a death march. Then the drum section added a staccato beat, which sound- ed like "Death Takes a Holiday" ... at Studio 54. Actually, there were some people out enjoying the cold morning. Joggers. Joggers have always been a unique form of life, though. They're fanatical. They will always prefer a frosty fall morning to a balmy spring afternoon, because the more discom- fort experienced means the more devotion exhibited. It's like the old Marine saying, "Pain is good, ex- treme pain is extremely good." Typically, the joggers were taking part in the Alumni Three-Mile Fun Run. The runners who had the most fun were Lynn Harper, Richard Sheehan and the team of Danny and Gail O'Donnell, because they won in A band in Saturday morning's Homecoming tured this view from an airplane about 1,500 feet their individual categories.

Alan Sowards said JMU put the fraternity on party restriction for not having a guest list and ex- ceeding the maximum number of guests at a Pi Kappa Phi party Oct. 15. The restriction began Thursday, he said. The fraternity can hold closed parties for members and little sisters only, Sowards said. He said the restriction period is "fair. It's long enough. They (the administration) got their point across." Dr. Lacy Daniel, dean of students, said, "They are not on probation. There is a restriction on open parties. This is mild and pretty routine. It's not the magnitude of probation." Daniel would not comment on specific viola- tions. Sowards said, "There was talk of restricting us for the rest of the semester, but our president talk- ed to Donna Harper (assistant dean of students) and since we weren't given a warning, they worked out a compromise." Harper would not comment on the incident Wednesday and was unavailable for comment Fri- day. Pi Kappa Phi President Rudy Tarlolski would not comment on the restrictions. Sowards said, "I'm not clear why we didn't have one (a guest list). "It's hard to say." The fraternity recently had picked two new social chairmen, Sowards said. "It was their first party (as chairmen). Maybe they forgot or didn't know," Sowards said. Daniel said only 200 people are allowed to at- tend a party. Sowards said, "It's hard to say if we had more than 200 people." The party was a survivor's party, Sowards said. A survivor's party starts at midnight and continues until daybreak, he said. Many Greek organizations break party rules, he said. "There's hardly a party that doesn't break some rules. You can go to a party anytime, any night Joe Miller, a member of Rice's Battery from New Market, watches a cannon ex- and some of the rules will be broken," he said.
