Trading spaces CLEAN AIR COALITION Dave's Express moving down the road to Liberty gas station Green effort continues
BY KRISHNA MORRIS (o*tno*h*| wit*
Last spring, the SGA placed a special poll on officer election ballots proposing an increase in tuition in order to finance the Green Fund, with over 80 percent of the student body voting in favor of a nine dollar tuition increase. Although the Green BUI was not passed last spring because student fees were already set, stu- dents and faculty are continuing their efforts to make JMU a green campus. Clean Air Coalition coordinator Aaron Sobel said. The Green Fund is a collection of student fees used exclusively for financing sustainable projects on the James Madison University campus. The Green Bill was not passed last spring after the Board of Visitors representative, Stacey Fuller, met with Dr. Mark Warner, Powanda said. Although Dr. Warner agreed with the ideas rep- resented within the Green Bill to make JMU more energy efficient, he did not approve the SUM HWHHll/aaff idea of increasing student tuition. The Green Bill 0»m David Millet laid ri» tstoblishmml » moving it was never taken to the Board of Visitors to be a larger iot(i wHk ■ bigocr end mte •ffknnl approved. "The Green Bill being approved by the student body shows the collective support," Sobel said. BY ULtlGrl MAHH "There is a very vigilant environmental student presence here on campus."

It was a very physical game and jumping for loose balls facilitated numerous collisions between players. Collisions turned into fouls and the intensity only rose when Georgetown midfielder Sara Jordan scored in the 8oth minute. Coach I,ombardo offered his opinion: "We try to be a little bit more of a possession type of team and they were bigger than us. They were just out-jumping us for the ball and we didn't do a good job of winning the second ball." JMU used 17 players in the contest and three of seven substitutes were freshmen. Madison has a young team but returns all-conference veterans Annie I-owry, Kimmy Germain and Ten Maykoski and will shoot for two more wins at home Friday and Sunday before traveling to Penn State Sep. 14. ■Everybody's important - and we don't care what year you are," Lombardo said.
