Darts & Pats (Submit your own!)
Posted on April 20, 2006

A “not-everyone-considers-it-an-honor” dart to the JMU English department for thinking that all students would want to wear a shirt advertising “STD.”
From a frustrated sophomore who loves the fact that she’s an English major and wishes she could have a shirt she could wear with pride.

A “resurrecting-the-spirit-of-May-1968” pat to the 17 U.Va. students who would rather be arrested than end their fight for a living wage for university employees.
From a JMU senior who knows our own university’s hard-working employees also deserve a salary they can live on.

A “Cupid’s-not-the-only-one-with-arrows-that-pierce-the-heart” dart to the idiots who walk across the Hillside field as the Archery Team practices.
From a frustrated archer who knows that if you walk in front of the target, you implicitly become the target, and does not want to spear you (most of the time).

An “... and-the-award-for-most-inconsiderate-guests-goes-to…” dart to the ignorant freshmen who thought it was more important to eat and talk through the lecture of the Sudanese refugee talking about starvation and genocide.
From two disgusted junior girls who weren’t there for wellness passport stamps, and feel that your time would have been better spent with your mouths shut.

A “joy-comes-in-small-packages” pat to the JMU community for their help in the search for my Chihuahua after she got out during a car accident.
From a distraught senior who finally found Maeby the next day off of Port Republic Road.

A “what-was-I-doing-with-my-life?” dart to myself and all the other graduating seniors who haven’t submitted a dart or a pat in our time at JMU.
From a senior who is graduating in two weeks and has meant to write a dart or pat at some point.
