THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10,1992 VOL 70, NO. 4 ORL allocates $70,000 for hall programs
by Jennie Carroll staffwriter On-campus residents may be getting a lot more than just ice cream socials and movie nights from their residence halls this year. The Office of Residence Life has allocated nearly $70,000 this year toward hall entertainment programs, resident adviser training and security seminars. Last year, ORL spent about $3,300 on entertainment programs. James McConnel, the director of residence life, said that part of the $22,030 now planned for entertainment programs came from money allocated to pay utility bills. Utilities ended up costing much less than ORL had figured, so the extra funds went to entertainment programming. "Through better financial management we were JOSHUA SEELY/THE BREEZE able to say "These are our expenses, but we are not spending much of this money, so let's put it into German exchange students Ian Fraedrich Oeft) Nas Macheel will encourage others programming,'" he said. to coma to universities in the United States. The other part of the increase came from pooling small amounts of money scattered throughout the ORL budget into $47,930 that will be used for German exchange students substance abuse programs, safety programs and RA training. adjust to U.S. attitude, culture Chris Howard, Shorts Hall director, said that he felt the increase in program spending would help Also at JMU this semester are 19 students from by Matt Warner the European Business School in Oestrich Winkel, a ORL panel staff writer private university near Frankfurt The spokeswoman Some JMU students are adjusting to more than for this semester's participants in the school's just the usual back-to-school stress — they're trying exchange program is 23-year-old student Katja INSIDE to speak, leam and absorb a whole new way of life.

motivate the RA's and give them the "opportunity to make more programs without ail of the financial worries. "In the past, a lot of ideas like white water rafting, or camping would come up, but these things cost money. The RAs knew that residents would not want to pay out of their own pockets so these ideas were shot down," he said. "Now that we have the funds we won't be afraid to ask to do these type of activities." In past years, total residence life programming was funded across five different budget areas. This year JMU consolidated these funds into one central budget for residence life programming. The budget was centralized so that the administration could better trace where money is going and what the university is getting out of its residence life programming, McConnel said. The effect on housing prices because of these increases will be minimal, he said. Actual housing costs rose from $1,103 to $1,145 this year. McConnel said that there were also philosophical reasons for the shift of budget money towards programming. "Two years ago while we were looking at our expenses, we realized that about one-tenth of 1 percent of our money was going into student MIKE HEFFNER/THE BREEZE programming. "Where your dollars are committed is a reflection Feeling the music of what you value.

Blackboards and overhead projectors were replaced by two 6-by 8-foot high screens. A set of IBM computers sits on a lecturn in the front of the room. Keyboards attached to 104 desks are connected to the computers through wires underneath the Door. Cable television and a sound system accompanied by a laser disc and video tape player make most of the learning "sense-oriented." "In this day and time with television, students are used to acquiring information through visual images," said Charles Harris, professor of psychology and head coordinator of the Classroom of the 21st Century.

To make "Opportunities '92" a success for you, the Office of Career Services has identified some important information to keep in mind as you prepare for career day and visit with representatives. Preparation is a vital step in making the most out of a career fair. • An initial step is clarifying your goals: why are you attending the career fair and what do you hope to get out of it? Are you looking for a summer internship? A full-time position? or exploring what employment options exist for you? • It is a good idea to identify the organizations that you would like to talk to and to prepare a list of questions that you want answered. • Knowledge about your interests, skills, and experience is essential pereparation for your conversations with employers. • If you are using the careed fair as part of your job search you should bring copies of your resume. • Since a career fair can be a very busy event, you want to be able to make the most of your time. Give some thought about how you will approach employers. You want to introduce yourself, demonstrate your interest in the organization, and be prepared to discuss your education and work experience. Communication is an important aspect of presenting yourself effectively. Because first impressions can be lasting ones, you want to pay special attention to how you present yourself to prospective employers. • Dress professionally. A suit is always the best choice for men and women if you want to look professional. For women a tailored dress may also be appropriate, especially in less conservative fields. Even if you are only using the fair to gather information, it is still a good idea to make a favorable impression by dressing professionally. • Similar to any interview situation, you want to demonstrate confidence in yourself as well as enthusiasm and interest for the organization. When introducing yourself to employers, maintain good eye contact and have a firm handshake. • Have numerous copies of your resume in an easily accesible place so that you don't have to fumble around looking for copies as you are trying to introduce yourself. Follow-Up is a final and critical step in making the most out of a career fair. When you have finished talking to a representative there are a few things you should remember to do. • Ask for the business card of the person you are talking to. • Ask who you should contact within their organization and ask for the telephone number. Make sure that you have spelled names correctly. • Ask each individual organization what is the best way to follow up with them. Should you call within a specified time or send a cover letter and resume? • Ask for a time frame (How soon can you expect to hear from someone?) Career Services staff will be available during the fair to answer any questions you might have.

But the old football axiom of "defense wins championships'' is a primary concern for head coach Rip Scherer and defensive coordinator Jim Pleicher. For the first time in seven seasons, JMU was not ranked in the Division I-AA lop 20 in total defense. With a lineup that returns only four starters from last year's unit, the defense might not be able to improve on a 26.3 points per game average. "While we're less experienced, I think we'll be more athletic," Scherer said. "I'm really excited about our athletic ability on defense, but we're going to be young. "We want to be unpredictable and yet realize that defense is played by playing fundamentals and techniques.'' The Dukes also want to regain their standing as a top 20 defensive team in Division I-AA. "I want our defense to be an aggressive make-it- happen defense that creates big plays by virtue of a MIKE HEFFNER/THE BREEZE multiple concept," Scherer said.

Offense looks to improve on record-setting season by Ian Record senior writer Can they do it? Can the 1992 JMU Dukes improve on last year's offensive performance — the most successful in team history? The answer to those questions are not yet known, but the ingredients are there. What recipe they make will determine the success of this year's offense and ultimately the success of the 1992 season. With the majority of the offense's skilled position players returning — including Eriq Williams, Kenny Sims and David McLeod — the Dukes are confident they can make a significant improvement. "This offense is capable of matching or surpassing last year's offensive numbers,'' said senior tailback Sims, whose 1,199 regular-season rushing yards last season is the second-highest in JMU history. Last season's offense was nothing short of spectacular, averaging 32 points and 414 yards of offense per game — both team records. And despite a four-touchdown loss in this year's opener against Virginia Tech, the offense managed to roll up 20 points and 382 total yards — not bad considering it was against a I-A opponent Barring injury, Sims, who currently holds the FILE PHOTO JMU record for yards-per-carry (6.7), should make a bid for the team's career rushing mark.

Senior tackle Chris junior receiver McLeod, a mainstay on last year's "It all starts with Eriq," said Bob Colbert, offensive coordinator. "Couple his experience with Thurman is the only starter from 1991 who currently offense. After compiling 29 catches for 634 yards is playing. last season, he now ranks ninth in career receiving the breakaway abilities of Sims and McLeod and we are capable of improving on last year." "Those young players that haven't played a lot are yardage. Williams emerged last season as a bonafide passer going to have to come through," Colbert said. McLeod should be among the receiving leaders in "Even though we are a bit thinner, our offensive Division I-AA this season. He caught eight to go along with already tremendous running ability, earning him a third-team All-American selection. He line jelled and molded itself into a good line," touchdowns passes in 1991, best in team history. Scherer said. "This year's line can do the same." But the success of the offense ultimately will be virtually rewrote the JMU record books last season, setting team marks in passing yards (1,914), The offense also was dealt with a pair of dictated by the performance of senior quarterback touchdown passes (19), total offensive yardage unexpected blows during the offseason, losing two (2,389) and efficiency rating starters from last year's team.

Williams is admittedly selfish about one thing: a shot at the NFL. Despite his success as a quarterback, Williams realizes that, at his size and strength, his only avenue to the NFL is as a return specialist or defensive back.
