    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An entry from the 1975 issue of Madison College&#039;s yearbook portrays the new student organization, the Black Student Alliance. Formed in 1972, the BSA sought to “articulate the problems of black students,” at the college, “promote interaction and involvement in school activities,” and to “foster continuous Afro-American pride and responsibility.” Still a presence on campus today, the BSA is open to all students at JMU who seek to serve as an “advocate of the black voice on campus,” and who wants to expose JMU “to new ideas and experiences in order to create forward movement.” [Quote from Black Student Alliance Profile, https://beinvolved.jmu.edu/organization/bsa/about ]]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Madison College, students, beanie]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[By 1969 when this cotton beanie was handed to freshman Sandra Sanford, it was a far less formal occasion and met with little enthusiasm. Rules and expectations for wearing the beanie, very specific up until the mid-sixties, relaxed and the tradition began to fade not only at Madison College, but all over the country. Alumnae interviewed from the early 1960s reported no affection for the tradition. Amid the flurry of the counter-culture in the 1960s and the highly controversial Vietnam War, such a juvenile token was not welcomed. After World War II when veterans returning from combat entered the University of Kansas and were told to wear the beanie, their categorical refusal to do so caused the demise of the beanie there; however, it remained for over twenty years or more and not only at all-female institutions. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Madison College, students, handbook, residence hall, curfew]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Student Handbook was, and still is, a major reference for students to find information about school. Dormitory regulations and dating rules are particularly interesting in this handbook from 1941. All students had to register with the Dean of Women if they were to be off campus after 6:00 p.m. and curfew for freshmen and sophomores was set at 10:15 p.m. or 10:30 p.m., depending on the day. Older students were allowed to be out until 11:00. At 11:00 p.m., it was time for lights out; this meant no reading or studying--just “absolute quiet.” Juniors and seniors had slightly different rules, to allow them to study longer as fitting their more rigorous class load.<br />
<br />
While dormitory rooms were more private than public areas like the parlors or reception rooms, even these still had strict guidelines and etiquette. Requiring all lights to be extinguished by a certain time was a way of ensuring order. Quiet hours still remain today at James Madison University, but the “lights out” policy has been abolished [Quote from: Student Handbook, 1941-1942, Madison College, p. 109.]<br />
