Students proved thai the spirit of service is alive and well at the Alternative Spring Break's domestic trip signups on Thursday. Each year, the ASB trips sponsored by the Community Service-Learning center draw a host of students eager to spend their spring break helping other communities and the environ- ment. While the international and long-distance trips were selected earlier this semester, the domestic trips were more plenti- ful and drew a sizeable crowd of students hoping to participate in the service experiences. Other organizations sponsor ASB trips as well including UREC and a number of faith-based communities like Wesleyan, Canterbury and Catholic Campus Ministry, who organized the tint ASB trip more than 15 years ago. CS-L will sponsor five international trips, three long- distance trips that require airfare and 15 domestic trips within the distance of a day's drive. Together, JMU students will provide volunteer aid to numerous regions of the U.S. pju>tnamnr.\ m\\S I S( HI K and the Caribbean.

OPINION The Breeze I www.lhebreeze.org | MONDAY, DEC. 5. 2005 16 Hoi m EDITORIAL Students need to take GWALK 101 before crossing Main St. Daily, hundreds — i( nol thousands — of JMU stu- dents, faculty and staff illustrate their love of the clas- tic game "Frogger" in their foregoing of crosswalks on South Main Street. But eventually, the convenience of crossing there needs to be re-evaluated in terms of pe- destrian safety. Thursday night, a student was crossing South Main Street from Anthony-Seeger Hall. Wearing dark cloth- ing and standing in the center lane, the Wtt Struck In a vehicle going an estimated 20 to 25 mph She was taken to Rockingham Memorial Hospital and is In sta- ble condition If you ask any student on campus, it is possible that he or she will know someone struck bv a vehicle on South Main Street. The occurrence is more common than one might think. That is why it is important to take a few more minutes and walk to the street cornets to use the crosswalks — that's what they're there tor. But those who are struck bv vehicles are not solely to blame for crossing the street at a bad time The prac- tice is done in such a prominent area bv such a number of people that everyone is led to think that crossing the street illegally to save time is an acceptable practice. Now that the days are getting shorter and it's dark bv 5 p.m., it's important to think about how rush hour will factor into one's decision to cross South Main Street at a lower visibility to drivers. And there is no doubt from what happened on Thursday that this needs to be considered. Those who heard of Thursday's accident may think how awful that was for the victim, and then go and cross South Main anyway on the way to their r a.m. But this time, think of the consequences, ! cross the street several times a day, you're eventually going to do so on autopilot, just as those driving to class the same way for the 5-millionth time And even- tually, there could be a consequence to that calculated risk. The best way to cross South Main Street may take a few more minutes, but think of Nike and "Just do it " MAIV4 *T, EtlTle*A Walking in the crosswalks guarantees greater safet} and is certainly worth the extra effort.

No matter how easy LETTER TO IHE EDITOR THE INKWELL Smaller representation would still voice all opinions I'm writing in response to the House Editorial "Smart voting on reconstruction bill," in the Dec. 1 issue, regarding the vote on the proposed amendment to the number of SGA senators. As an impartial observer of this debate, I was disappointed to see The r^>V Breeze staff align itself with such a poorly thought-out position. The idea that in order to represent the student body effectively the SGA must grow is simply bad logic. According to that logic, the United States Congress is in desperate need of a substan- tial increase in its membership. Currently 104 senators represent the 14,000-plus undergraduate students, in comparison with the 535 members of Congress who represent more than 250 million Americans. As it stands, there are numerous open seats in the SGA. This, combined with the lack of attendance of many cur- rent senators makes me question the wisdom of expanding the Senate when the current seats are not being effectively filled, if they're being filled at all. The House Editorial points out that "an aspect of a growing campus is an increase in opinions," which is certainly true, but the idea that the only way for each opinion to be expressed is to expand the Senate is antithetical to the principle of representative government. The point of having representatives is that each rep- resentative offers the opinion of a large and varying group of con- .«€tl stituents. Unchecked growth in the Senate wili do nothing more \ than make it impossible for any single opinion to be heard over the dozens of others that are represented by far too many voices. I congratulate The Breeze for voicing an opinion on such an im- portant issue, but 1 hope that in the future you will consider these issues more thoughtfully, rather than endorsing a position based on poor reasoning and even worse evidence. 8 Quick.
