The internationally recognized Marching Royal Dukes have been practicing since Aug 15 for the first home game Sept. 4.

SGA plans for new year :The Student Government Association will focus on four major initiatives in the coming weeks: Sept. 11, 2001, memorial activities, voter registration, SGA elections and publicity for the HOV parking lot. Safe Rides begins driver training : Safe Rides, a program that sponsors designated drivers, will begin a membership drive and training drivers this fall. The program is a designated driving service that will provide free safe rides home to any student who may need one.
Info Technology continues bandwidth limit : Although no new measures have been added to prevent file sharing on the JMU computing network, off-campus and on-campus students have reported difficulty using popular file-sharing software.
Cigarette tax increase overdue : Sometimes 20 cents is just 20 cents. But Tuesday, that spare change translates into the start of a statewide push for better K-12 schools, higher education, public safety and health care. Disasters on the home front : Something must be in the Harrisonburg air — possibly the horrendous dog food smell — to cause the crazy events that happen in dorms. Below, students reveal some of their dormitory dilemmas.
Morsink matures as teammate : Sophomore midfielder Kurt Morsink's 20-point campaign in 2003 established him as one of the Dukes‰ most skilled players. This season he will be relied upon by his teammates to establish himself as a leader as well, coach Tom Martin said. Worldwide Welcome : Many freshman year stories are similar. Most students remember being a little bit homesick, attending first parties and sporting events, learning their way around unfamiliar campuses and adjusting to more difficult schoolwork.
OrangeBand wins MTV, Youth Venture grant money : JMU’s Orangeband was among 20 national organizations awarded grant money for MTV’s "Choose or Lose: 20 Million Loud" campaign in July, according to MTV.
