The Student Government Association, Commuter Student Council and the Interfraternity Council have proposed a plan to establish student liaisons to assist in settling any complaints town residents make to the Harrisonburg police department about students. "It is important that we as students can deal with our problems ourselves," SGA Administrative Vice President Scott Surovell said.

  • The Roots Report: a Future Curmudgeon
    The Roots Report: A Future Curmudgeon Okee dokee folks … On Black Friday I woke up to find 55 e-mails in my inbox. Out of the 55, only three were from actual people. The others were advertisements. BUY, BUY, BUY!!! I admit that I do like to buy things. I am a musician and we all have what is known as G.A.S. – Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Too much is never enough. So when a great deal comes my way I find it hard to pass up. Some of the “Black Friday” deals are insane, but require that you go to the store and face mad hordes of hungry consumers vying for the same items. That is one thing I will not do. People are animals. They lunge at bargains like hungry wolves on the carcass of a freshly felled deer and fight each other for the bits of meat on the bones. I don’t want anything that bad. If I shop on Black Friday, I do it online. I guess that is why Cyber Monday also has become a thing. People head back to work, get on their computers and shop online. At least this is more civilized. Black Friday shows you what people really are — they’re animals. (I already said that, didn’t I?) Deep down there is no denying it. We claim to be and want to be civilized, but we’re not. If we can’t get along when shopping how are we ever going to get along any other way? Those of you who have read my column over the years may remember that I don’t celebrate holidays, especially Christmas.
