Bob McDonnell’s budget requirements for the 2009- Dear JMU students, 2010 fiscal year, all state government agencies including universities are I have given considerable thought to Our university values statement says that we value required to have one furlough day for all employees. The state estimated the events of two weeks ago. Reflection the furlough day saves $560,000 in payroll to help ease a $3.5 billion budget is a necessary condition for learning. excellence, integrity and mutual respect. The statement deficit by forcing universities workers to take an unpaid vacation day. Whether you were a participant in isn’t selective. However, JMU faculty and staff will not be required to take this furlough Springfest or not, I hope that you have day. Through creative budgeting, JMU purchased this furlough day, thereby also thought about the one day when, absorbing the $560,000 cost into the auxiliary funds and allowing JMU for at least many Harrisonburg residents, employees to continue working.

The state priced the furlough day at $560,000, but positive contributions, voluntary service answer.

Wale, Jason Derulo and DJ Earworm: For most schools, just one of these three artists would be enough to be the biggest concert of a semester. But for JMU’s spring concert, the “Hip Hop Hat Trick” performed to a packed Convocation Center on Friday night. The show began 15 minutes after the doors opened with JMU’s own MC Presto (senior Kunal Jhanjee), Mikey Mike (senior Mike Williams) and Hydrophonics (sophomore Evan Morris) providing a three-man emcee assault whose flow was matched only by the samples of DJ REZ-E (senior Reza Ekbatani). The local hip-hop foursome blasted through a 30-minute set while incom- ing audience members found their seats. Next, San Francisco-based mash-up artist DJ Ear- worm strode onto the stage to unleash his remix masterpieces. Though the arena was nowhere near capacity once the first beat was dropped, Earworm’s jams enticed the crowd outside to fill the venue after the second song. Earworm’s set was nothing short of a full-blown party. Sampling from all around the spectrum of pop music, Ryan Freeland / The Breeze Dan Gorin / The Breeze Earworm took samples from Micheal Jackson’s “Bad” to Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” to the Beastie Boys’ “Intergalactic,” and mixed them up into a musical cocktail that went down smoothly. But where he real- ly shines is in making a track made up from different samples of the same artist. Using rapper Sean Kingston and rock band Maroon 5, he made the track sound like a greatest hits collection mixed into one song. Earworm himself could be considered the human Energizer Bunny. Throughout his hour-long set he rarely stopped his lively routine of dancing and pump- ing up the crowd. His momentum kept building until it hit its peak at the last song of the set when he threw the Internet-famous track “United States of Pop” on the turntables. Once the crowd recognized the first notes, they erupted. R&B singer and Miami native Jason Derulo was up next to amp up the now-packed house. He came on with the moves, the swagger and the voice that has served him well in his climb to the top of the pop charts. By the time he broke into his smash hit “Whatcha Say,” Derulo had already taken his shirt off. Though Derulo showed love to all the ladies that night, one girl in particular got special treatment. After Derulo’s serenade to freshman Katie Keller, whom he Dan Gorin / The Breeze Wale (top left), Jason Derulo (top right) and DJ Earworm offer a mix of different sounds for a packed Convocation Center. see Concert, page 12
