THURSDAY OCTOBER 24,1991 VOL 69, NO. 18 Russians say coup was people's effort
by Donna Ragsdale staff writer The Soviet coup was defeated by people hungry for reform of their struggling government and economy, said a panel of Russian citizens Monday. But still, "I think democracy will collapse if we don't have anything to eat," said A.A. Ignatenko, legislative mayor of the Russian city of Peterhof. He and nine other Peterhof citizens are visiting their sister city Harrisonburg, and spoke to JMU students Monday. Because Peterhof is only 20 minutes away from St. Petersburg, the coup hit close to home, he said. The tanks came within 100 kilometers of St. Petersburg, Ignatenko said, and many people from Peterhof went to help defend St. Petersburg — formerly Leningrad. "It [the coup] was not defeated in Moscow, but locally," Ignatenko said. The most interesting result of this push was all the masks were torn away. We immediately saw who put on this mask and who were the real supporters of democratic reform.'* "As far as the meaning of the revolution, it can be VASHA HUNT/THE BREEZE put into two words — reason prevailed," said E.P.

Ignatenko said when he looks at Americans he sees "people with the same legs, arms and brains" and wonders why Russians live so poorly. He said he hoped this trip would promote Russian business as well as a better understanding of the people.
Sister City Origins JMU Foreign Language Professor Elizabeth Neatrour made the initial move toward gaining a sister city in June 1989, when she took letters from Harrisonburg officials to Peterhof. Neatrour was familiar with Peterhof because of her travels to Russia for the U.S. State Department. She had worked for a couple of years to set up an exchange program for students. Neatrour told a Russian newspaper editor about Harrisonburg's interest in being Peterhof s sister city. "The editor was astounded," Neatrour said. In a half hour, a meeting was set with the mayor and a car was sent through the snow to pick up Neatrour. The Local International Network Committee of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County is the coordinator of the sister city relationship. Members of LINC provided the schedule of events for the Russian delegation. LINC also sponsored a 10-day trip to Russia in the __ _- .. COURTESY OF MS. MADISON COMMITTEE spring of 1990.

Banking scandal's effects far-reaching by Alane Tempchin staff writer Money laundering, bribery, weapon sales, influence peddling, fraud and drug smuggling all fall under the umbrella of allegations against the Bank of Commerce and Credit International. A corporation which has been dubbed by CIA Director Robert Gates as the "bank of crooks and criminals," has created the first truly international banking scandal, affecting banks and depositors in about 70 countries. BCCI is not just a bank, but a multinational corporation with a paramilitary wing, an intelligence network and enforcement units. BCCI has diplomatic relations, has established trade with other nations, deals in oil and has a shipping conglomerate. It has also been responsible for international weapons deals — selling to such DEREK CARBONNEAU/THE BREEZE places as Iraq, Iran, Libya, Peru and Pakistan.

Ms. Madison tradition changes with times
by Donna Ragsdale staff writer Despite being one of the oldest surviving traditions at JMU, the concept of Ms. Madison is still evolving. Since it began in 1954, the purpose of the Ms. Madison title has been to recognize a woman's contribution to JMU. With the contemporary title Ms. Madison, the idea behind the contest is still the same today. Student Government Association President and 1990 Ms. Madison Pal Soulhall said she considers it an important way to recognize achievements made by women at JMU. "It represents an accomplishment because your peers actually put you there," Soulhall said. She was the first junior to be named Ms. Madison. In the past, various organizations such as Student Ambassadors and the University Class Organization have been in charge of the Ms. Madison program. Last year, senior Lori Werner helped reorganize the program for her Miller Fellow research project. Now Ms. Madison is selected by a university committee comprised of a variety of students and faculty. She said making the program more diverse should make it easier on individual organizations and create more COURTESTY OF MS. MADISON COMMITTEE credibility in the selection. "It also gives those students (who serve on the Ms. Madison Court: (I to r, front row) Kim Jackson, Dawn Miller, Deborah Van Tuyl, Lori Ms. Madison committee] an opportunity to come out Lerew, (I to r, back row) Melanie Byrd, Laura Tomb, Jaclynn GilfiMan, Jennifer of those organizations as representatives and emerge Edmonson and Karen Williams.

There arc generally 40 to 60 nominees the new selection process is a good idea. "We're working on increasing the role of Ms. each year — this year there were 45.

Traditions at Madison strive to survive from year to year
by Sharon Lovering staff writer There was supposed lo be a Homecoming parade last year. According to Sarah Schacffcr, director of alumni relations, it didn't happen because there were problems in communication and participation, as well as a problem with trying to control traffic on campus to accommodate a parade. The homecoming parades of the past began in X- Lol. High school marching bands from all over Virginia marched in it, along with clowns, majorettes, scout troops, the Dukcltcs and the Marching Royal Dukes. Most had themes. In 1981 the theme was "Gold Rush Days," in 1982 it was "Parade of Champions," and in 1983 it was "Golden Hit Parade." But the parade tradition ended in 1984. The Duke Dog as we know it today is not a long- standing tradition. The human-motivated dog was introduced at the JMU-VMI basketball game on Nov. 30, 1982. Prior to that, four live English MIKE HEFFNER/THE BREEZE bulldogs served the function of Duke Dog.
