Puppy love
Stella Devine has it made. The one-and-a-half year old sheltie/beagle mix has a bowl full of food, a cozy bed to sleep in, an abundance of chew toys and an adoring owner who takes her on daily walks. Looking at the happy and healthy copper-colored dog, one would never guess that her life started on a negative note. Born a stray, she spent her first few weeks living on the streets with her mother and seven siblings. She was eventually turned into the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA, where her current owner, senior Katelyn Devine, fell in love with her. More...

Glass Half Full: Resolve to revise resolutions
By Traci Cox, staff writer
Happy New Year, JMU! Along with all those noble New Year’s resolutions to cut out D-Hall desserts and to hit up UREC more than once a week, I hope you all have decided to focus your personal goals on a less egotistic level. With the holiday season dwindling away and a cold front finally closing in, I feel the urge to bundle up—not just with my toasty Polar fleece, but with a somewhat comforting peace of mind. More...

JMU falls to W&M
By Tim Chapman, sports editor
With 4 minutes, 58 seconds remaining in Wednesday night’s men’s basketball game, there couldn’t have been a worse time for JMU’s leading scorer to foul out. Senior forward Terrence Carter was whistled for number five when he fouled William & Mary sophomore Danny Sumner on a shot. Sumner sank both free-throws, capping a 9-0 run to get the Tribe within one at 55-54. But it was the disqualification of the Dukes’ second leading scorer, Abdulai Jalloh — and the way that it happened — that ultimately led to JMU’s 69-66 loss in Williamsburg. More...
