Pat...
A "finally-thank-you" pat to the downtown businesses with JMU Dukes flags that are offering discounts for local students.

From a senior who has waited four years to see support for the people who spend money here, instead of selling rival universities' school supplies like a certain national chain.

Dart...
An "I hope you cut yourself on the glass" dart to the person who shattered our dorm's food vending machine Friday night.

Sent in by a group of residents who now will be forced temporarily to visit nearby halls when the food cravings hit.

Pat...
A "thanks-for-playing-along" pat to the Exit 245 boys who let us have a 20-minute intense cake fight in their house.

From a girl who enjoyed cleaning with you the next day just as much as making the mess the night before.

Dart...
A "way-to-pick-the-wrong-prey" dart to my house's dog for attacking a skunk Saturday morning and causing the whole house to smell.

From a dog-loving junior who just wishes this dog had a little more common sense.

Pat...
A "cheers" pat to a certain junior girl who didn't realize that she was on the roof of Rockingham Memorial Hospital and not safely at home asleep in her bed.

From someone who can relate to other people finding themselves in strange places.

Dart...
A "you-give-JMU-boys-a-bad-name" dart to the guy, who, at a party, walked away from our innocent conversation because I wouldn't make out with him.

From a girl who was reminded why she avoided certain types of people.
