February is winding down, and that means Valentine's Day has come and gone, leaving in its wake make ups, break ups, and hook ups. Since spring break, that wonderful week of debauchery and loose morals, is approaching, we decided to feature the worst hook-ups of all time, and some helpful advice from true playas to keep you out of these sticky situations, wherever they may arise.

     We are both seniors, and like the rest of our class, senioritis is hitting hard. We've spent many a night this semester at bw-3 ... we've compiled a list of hot spots around Harrisonburg to better accomodate your particular strain of senioritis. Guys, make sure you look right for the ladies/fellas before you go out - consult our tips on how to be Big Primpin' at JMU. If you have any doubts, just see how your looks rates on amihotornot.com.

     On a more serious level, we discovered during a staff meeting that a number of our staffers have been tested for HIV. After discussing this issue with other friends and associates, we realized that getting tested for HIV is a fairly common practice, and that the fears our generation holds are very real. We have two personal accounts of what getting tested at the Health Center is really like, and exactly how to go about getting tested.

     But mostly this issue is all about bitching, complaining, and having fun. We even scored an interview with Ben Schumin, of Front magazine fame. We wish you all a crazy (but safe!) spring break, and expect to see JMU representin' on at least one "Girls Gone Wild" clip.
