SARAH MICHEL ROB MORANO Opinion Editor Assistant Opinion Editor Absent Students have good reason to oppose the attendance policies held by some JMU professors. While many professors implement fair and reasonable attendance procedures, others do not allow a single absence during an entire semester. What effect, if any, do such attendance policies have on students and their relationships with their professors? By the time students reach college, they are capable of making their own decisions. One of these »■ '>»»»>* decisions is whether or not to attend class. Part of being an adult is facing whatever consequences may result from one's actions. This concept applies as much to class attendance as it does to more serious issues, such as career decisions. In formulating their attendance policies, professors must consider that rules are made for all, not just for a few responsible students. Because of this, elimination of attendance policies is probably not in the best interest of the JMU community. Such policies, however, must involve a certain degree of leniency.

The 1988-89 JMU wen's basketball team may well go down in the alt»hme college record books — but not for its on-court performance. After posting a dismal 10-18 mark a year ago, the Dukes have probably appeared in, and on, more media publications than the 1988 NCAA champion Kansas Jayhawks. The reason — Charles G. "Lefty1' Driesell. Regarded as one of the famous, bordering on notorious, coaches to ever enter the basketball arena, Driesell announced early in April he was trading in his TV headset for the head coaching position at JMU and one more chance at a national championship. And the basketball world, especially those in the Shenandoah Valley, has been abuzz ever since. But the road to the final four may be the longest, and most difficult path Driesell has been forced to take in his 26 years of college basketball. The Dukes lost three starters to graduation last season and already have been dealt a severe blow this year with the off-season suspension Kcnnard Winchester, JMU's top scorer and rebounder a year ago. Moreover, returning lcttermen Thorn Brand was dropped from the team because of medical reasons and Keith Staff photo by LAWRENCE JACKSON McMillen left the club because of personal problems. The incidents have left JMU with only two seniors Lefty Driesell will try to coach the Dukes from near obscurity to a NCAA title. and have forced Driesell into going to a definite youth movement.

Book Review WGOHNNSlttPWHllflQETEWW.. Originally designed as a cartoon with a space travel theme, "Calvin and Hobbes" has evolved into what it is today mostly because of Wattcrson's effqrts to sell the strip to syndicates. Its phenomenal success is illustrated by the incredible array of "Calvin and Hobbes" t-shirts, posters, buttons and other items produced not by Watterson or those holding the copyrights to the characters, but by the fans. As of yet, no official merchandise — or by-products of the strip as they are sometimes called — has emerged. This latest collection is the only appeasement Watterson offers for the "Calvin and Hobbes" junkie. The Essential Calvin and Hobbes is both old and new. Mostly, the book consists of cartoons from the previous two collections. The major differences are the use of color on the Sunday strips in this latest volume, and the addition of a poem. The color is wonderful. It brings the boy and his tiger to life more than ever. And as Charles Schulz, creator of another famous cartoon kid, said in his, forcward for the book, '"Calvin and Hobbes'... contains hilarious pictures that cannot be duplicated in other mediums. In short, it is fun to look at, and that is what has made Bill's work such an admirable success."

Education, hobby result in patent for senior By Laurel Wissinger assistant business editor JMU senior Derek Spraguc was looking for a way to improve his goir game. What he wound up with was a U.S. government patent for his Pultin' Pal invention and some "practical experience in business that went beyond anything I could have learned in a classroom," Sprague said. Spraguc, a former member of the varsity golf team at JMU who recently turned pro, suffered from the common error which plagues many golfers. "When [a golfer) pulls the putter back, he isn't focusing on the ball, which is where his eyes should be," Sprague said. "Instead he's watching the movement of the putter." Such a habit results- in golfers losing their concentration and making bad shots, lie said. Spraguc came up with the concept lot his invention in the fall of 1986. The resulting Pultin' Pal was designed to block a golfer's view of the putter and emphasize keeping a close eye on the golf ball. Spraguc termed his invention a form of "subliminal training" rather than a more direct teaching technique. The Pultin' Pal emphasizes coordination between the brain and muscles, and Spraguc believes its simple three-piece design allows it to be used by anyone capable of picking up a golf club.
