Alcohol violation referrals

Total violations

On-campus alcohol charges

Alcohol-related arrests

BY THE NUMBERSJMU, ALCOHOL, POLICE

By AARON KOEPPERThe Breeze

Despite e� orts to curtail alcohol-relat-ed problems, the number of arrests and citations for the � rst month of the semes-ter tell a di� erent story.

Judicial A� airs has seen referrals for alcohol violations in the � rst month of the semester, compared to at the same time last year. � e number of total violations remains almost identical, with violations this year and at the end of September .

Judicial Affairs gives out violations based on arrests referred by JMU and the Harrisonburg Police Department.

But even with these higher numbers, Josh Bacon, director of Judicial A� airs, says he has seen success in the universi-ty’s attempts to curb alcohol use through a reduction in the severity of violations.

“At the beginning of last year there were serious cases, assaults and assaults on police o� cers,” Bacon said. “� at’s gone way down.”

In the � rst month of last year Judicial saw � ve violations for throwing objects, � ve for disorderly conduct, four for vio-lence to persons, four destruction of property and one for dangerous practices. � ree violence to persons and three dan-gerous practices violations were issued this semester.

Charges issued by JMU police o� cers increased this year because four new o� cers were hired for o� -campus patrol, leading to alcohol charges o� campus, of which were for underaged posses-sion, according to JMU police chief Lee Shifflett. Last year, JMU police did not issue o� -campus charges.

Shi� ett said the hiring of new o� cers makes it di� cult to make a comparison to previous student behavior.

“I suspect that the numbers would’ve been more last year as parties were larger and more open, however, we did not have the additional manpower o� campus last year,” Shi� ett said.

Shi� ett said he believed smaller parties

and crowds meant that regardless of charg-es, there was a change in student culture.

� ere were alcohol-related charges on-campus this year, compared with in September , including open con-tainer, underaged possession and drunk in public.

Harrisonburg police made alcohol-related arrests last September (including non-students), compared to this year, according to HPD spokeswoman Mary-Hope Vass.

Bacon and Shifflett said despite increased arrests by JMU police, they have seen smaller parties and what they

Organizations collaborate to end hazing at JMU

ROBERT BOAG / THE BREEZE

Hundreds of Dukes Against Hazing T-shirts were passed out on the commons last week.

By RYAN PLATTThe Breeze

Hazing on college campuses across the country has led to students being beaten to death, poisoned with alcohol and being mentally and emo-tionally scarred for life. Last week, a variety of JMU organizations partici-pated in Hazing Prevention Week, a national e� ort to eliminate hazing and the negative e� ects it has on college campuses.

A collaborative e� ort from the O� ce of Fraternity and Sorority Life, the Cen-ter for Multicultural Student Services, the O� ce for Substance Abuse Preven-tion, the Department of Athletics and

Judicial A� airs put together a week’s worth of programs, posters featuring athletes and other campus leaders, and giveaways to help raise awareness and prevent hazing.

In addition, Active Minds, Outriggers and REACH Peer Educators played a vital role in the education of students from a peer-to-peer perspective. As the week was focused on students pre-venting hazing, the three organizations’ involvement was an essential part of the entire week.

According to Fraternity and Soror-ity Life coordinator Paul Whatley, the event was possible thanks to the e� orts from a various campus organi-zations and help from administration.

In addition, $, from an innova-tive program grant was received from the o� ce of Mark Warner, vice presi-dent of Student A� airs and Academic Planning.

Lanyards handed out on the com-mons read, “I took the pledge. Ask me why.” On the reverse side, the lanyards had stories and statistics about hazing.

Some lanyards mentioned previous students in other universities killed by hazing antics involving physical vio-lence and abuse of alcohol. Others included statistics, such as nine out of students who have experienced hazing behavior in college do not con-sider themselves to have been hazed, and that percent of students who

experienced hazing did not report the events to campus o� cials.

Adam Sutphin, a ’ graduate and first-year graduate student who is working with FSL, explained that coop-eration between all the di� erent groups was key to building a program to gain as much attention as possible.

“We’ve been on the commons every-day from to , and it’s been great,” Sutphin said. “People have been coming up to us, which is the complete oppo-site of the usual commons behavior where you have to practically force your information on people. � ey were hon-estly interested in what we had to say.”

Sitting in the sold-out stands on an unusually warm fall night in Bridgeforth Stadium, -year-old Nathaniel Layman proudly cheered on his favorite team, donning an interesting choice of appar-el. Typically, the star quarterback gets the most notoriety, but for Nathaniel, it is backup quarterback Justin � orpe who remains the hero.

“My favorite player is No. . He is the guy with the hurt leg,” Nathaniel said. “I already am a quarterback on my team, so I want to be a Duke Dog one day.”

Despite an underwhelming match up

against Liberty University, purple and gold spirit was alive and well on Satur-day. � e combinations of JMU’s historic win against Virginia Tech, a stadium ren-ovation and former players making the cut in the NFL have brought fans out in droves to support the Dukes.

Jackie Clark, a Roanoke native whose nephew Ryan Dixon is a freshman wide receiver, feels the team is deserving of moving up in the ranks, but maybe not quite yet.

“Honestly, I don’t think they will move up to D-I any time soon,” Clark said. “But I think they deserve to. I am going to root them on regardless.”

� e program, which began in ,

has come to mean more to some locals in the recent years, especially after the FCS National Championship.

Area native Wayne Witmer has been coming to JMU games for years o� and on and feels Harrisonburg is slowly turning into a football-crazed town.

“I think it is neat to have this quality of a college sports program in a small town like this,” Witmer said. “You don’t have to drive an hour; it’s right here.”

Wi t h t h e Du k e s - f o r t h e first time since , some alum-ni say they are more proud than ever to return to their alma mater.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can enjoy winning more than

bragging rights when all is said and done, but that may not be quite as soon as you had hoped or expected.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) There’s no reason to think that your

beliefs will come under fire, and yet you may want to soft-pedal some of what you have to say.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)A conflict of sorts is likely to arise out

Women may save Democrats

WASHINGTON — The gender contours of American politics have been clear for many years. Democrats have long enjoyed a decided advantage among female voters, less so among men. Over the next five weeks, Democrats’ hopes of holding the House and Senate may depend on their suc-cess in rallying female voters.

Right now, Democrats are doing far better among women than men, but in many places not by enough.

Four years ago, on the eve of the 2006 midterms, men were evenly divided between Repub-licans and Democrats, while women were Democratic by 22 percentage points. Today, 52 percent of men say they plan to vote Republican and 40 percent say they will vote for the Demo-crat. Women are the opposite: 52 percent Democrat and 40 percent Republican.

McDonnell quick to restore rights

RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell is on track to restore voting rights to more felons than both his Democratic predecessors — a surprising development for a conservative Republican who served as a law-and-order attorney general.

He has won praise from Afri-can Americans and civil rights groups for scrapping plans to require felons to write an essay as part of their applications and vowing instead to act on each case within 60 days.

His administration has approved 780 of 889 appli-cants - 88 percent, according to the secretary of the common-wealth’s office, whose office handles the requests.

Under Virginia’s Constitution, residents convicted of a felony automatically lose the right to vote, serve on a jury or own a gun.

Gov. faults Kaine for VDOT’s inefficienciesThursday, Gov. Bob McDonnell blamed former Gov.

The expanded emergency room at the new Rockingham Memorial Hospital enabled the hospital to better handle the dozens injured from the Sept. 17 floor collapse.

“With the Hunters Ridge inci-dent, we were lucky that we were here,” said Debra Thompson, spokeswoman for RMH.

The two patients who were flown to the University of Virginia Medical Center could be transported more quickly because of the new helipad,

Thompson said. At the old hospital, the helipad was located at the top floor of the hospital, but in the new center the area is just steps away from the emergency entrance and patients can be airlifted more easily.

The new facility, which sits on 15 acres off Port Republic Road opened June 22 and houses six different department entrances and a state-of-the art emergency room.

In total, RMH added 15,000 square feet to the emergency department, as well as four new trauma bays.

Though the hospital is no longer

located at the edge of JMU’s cam-pus, the center is located less then 1 mile from city limits and is still close to some student living complexes.

The location also gives the RMH options for future growth.

“The biggest change is space,” Thompson said.

The new facility has 1,900 new parking spaces as well as a shuttle that can take patients from the lots to the hospital entrance.

“You know that we are busy, but you no longer feel it,” Thompson said.

Comfort, care and efficiency is

the mantra of the new facility. “We didn’t want it to feel like you

were in a hospital,” Thompson said. “We wanted it to be comforting and comfortable.”

To achieve their goal, architects installed an indoor fountain, trees and plants throughout the lobby and six floors of windows. Artwork from local artists and scenes in the Shenandoah Valley hang through-out the hallways.

While the new hospital has dras-tically more space, RMH also added

William & Mary chucks on-campus beer pong tables

For students, by students


Students can become their own professors with the new JMU Teach program.

Dan Smolkin and Sandra Tran, the co-directors of JMU Teach, came together to form the program last year after hearing of similar programs at other universities, like Carnegie Mel-lon University and the University of California, Berkeley. In the spring, the two were allowed to test the program to see if students would be interested.

“I would love to walk around campus in five years and hear students talking about what they learned in their stu-dent facilitated classes,” said Tran, a junior marketing manager. “I would consider that a success,”

Once the program was approved by the Academic Council, Smolkin, a senior public policy and administra-tion major, visited UC Berkeley to sit in on student-facilitated classes. He observed about 12 classes during JMU’s spring break, including the sociology of “Seinfeld.”

“Each class is its own experience,” he said. “It bridges the gap between the academic and the extracurricular.”

A dozen successful programs like JMU Teach exist around the nation, including one at the University of Vir-ginia that was launched six months prior to the JMU program.

This fall Smolkin and Tran are choosing the first round of student facilitators. Interested students can propose a program online at, jmuteach.org until Oct. 22. Those proposals that are chosen will then be reviewed and refined for the best course possible. Then the student facilitators of that course will complete student leader training and be paired with a faculty mentor.

The average JMU Teach class will meet for one hour a week and be con-sidered an elective for the students wishing to take the course. Each class will count as a one credit course and be graded as pass or fail.

This year the program will start with a few courses and then add more as more students become involved.

The program is partnered with SGA and an adminstrative oversight team of four faculty members.

T h e c o n t e n t o f t h e c o u r s e s will be as varied as the students.

JMU is not the only university in Virginia to change alcohol-related poli-cies this year.

This fall, the College of William & Mary added a new amendment to its housing rules to explicitly prohibit the use of beer pong tables in housing on campus.

The policy will also apply to Greek organizations with fraternity and sorority chapters that have houses on campus. The revision, however, is not specifically targeted at Greek organizations, but they fall under the same category as other W&M residents.

“We’ve had a long-standing policy against drinking games on campus,” said W&M spokesman Brian Whitson. The change was made simply to keep up with current college culture, he said.

The change comes as Greek organizations at JMU are in the middle of a social probation until Oct. 5. The Fraternal Information and Programming Group’s Risk Management Polices, which governs the way fraternities

The Blacksburg Police Depart-ment is still looking for any tips or clues related to a Sept. 18 stabbing of a JMU student.

On a Saturday at around 3:55 a.m., a student was stabbed at an early morning party. According to police, a fight ensued near the Pheasant Run Crossing townhomes on Jenni-fer Drive.

The victim did not realize until later that he was stabbed during the fight, according to police. He had many minor cuts and stab wounds to the abdomen. The victim was treated at Montgomery Regional Hospital, where he received stitches to one wound. He was released later that day.

Anyone that has information about the incident is urged to call the Blacks-burg Police Tip Line at (540) 961-1819.

considered to be a more responsible student body.

Bacon, who was on the corner of Port Republic Road and the entrance to campus talking to students about responsible partying the first weekend before school, said he was surprised by how few students were going out.

“Usually there’s these huge packs of students coming out one after the other, from 9:30 to 11:30,” Bacon said. “This year, there was a trickle, maybe from 10 to 11, and the buses were the same way.”

He said it seems there are more small groups gathering

inside homes. “The hope is we’re chang-

ing from these open door parties and that people are knowing their guests,” Bacon said.

Some students said they could still find parties on the weekends, but were much more aware of their behav-ior because of the increased police presence.

“I still go out with the same people, and I went to a big party last weekend and it didn’t get busted,” said Sarah Bromberger, a sophomore nursing major. “I was a lot more careful the first week-end back though. I think everybody was.”

Senior Matt Hawes, an eng-lish major, said that police were making some students older than 21 feel uncomfort-able about partying.

“It’s definitely a different school from last year,” Hawes said. “My neighbors got in trouble because they had an undercover cop in their party and people were under 21.”

Hawes called the party s c e n e “d e a d” c o m p a re d to the year before said he t h o u g h t m a n y s t u d e n t s of le gal ag e w ere g oing to bars to avoid citations.

On Tuesday, the group was passing out yellow “Dukes Against Hazing” T-shirts that sported the logo, “Some things shouldn’t be tradition.” Stu-dents received a shirt, cups and sunglasses bands in exchange for signing the petition agreeing not to participate in any hazing activity.

Laura Carroll, an assistant for the Center for Multicultural Student Services and a gradu-ate student, said how they were popular with students.

“A lot of students are really excited to have them and wear them around campus,” Carroll said.

According to Sutphin, the anti-hazing coalition ran out of the 620 shirts in less than

three hours.The petition had more than

1,150 signatures by Thursday afternoon.

“It’s been great to get the word out. It’s a pivotal time to address it,” said Sutphin, referring to the fact that many organizations, not just fra-ternities and sororities, but clubs and athletic teams, are either recruiting or just getting started.

Whatley noted that this is the second year of the aware-ness week after its foundation last year by a graduate student.

“We’ve always done it as an initiative within FSL, but we wanted a more profound impact,” Whatley said. “And what we really like about it is the level of student involvement.”

W h a t l e y s t r e s s e d t h e

importance of preventing something that can be so harmful to students, not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well.

“Hazing can take many forms,” Whatley said. “There’s a certain hidden harm of haz-ing. It’s not always physical, and you can’t always see it.”

As an issue that addresses the entire community, Nation-al Hazing Prevention Week is a major starting point to raise awareness, Whatley said.

“This is not just a frater-nity or sorority issue, this is an issue across the coun-try in all different areas [of a university],” Whatley said.

“Think, if you have 25 cours-es, that’s over 100 students on campus engaged in a meaning-ful way,” Smolkin said.

There is already a healthy response for the program. Last year, JMU Teach sent out a general call for proposals and received more than a dozen responses. Now the program is looking for quality programs, rather than just high numbers and hoping to receive another

good pool of applicants. “We’re looking for those

ideas where you really can prove a strong academic com-ponent to them,” Smolkin said.

The program has parterned with the Center for Faculty Innovation to provide teach-ing training and support to students who have an idea but do not have any teaching experience.

“If students want to lead we have resources for them to do it,” he said.

According to Tran, the pro-gram is perfect for JMU because of so many studies have extra-curricular passions.

“It’s a really unique pro-gram,” Tran said. “It’s students helping students. It fits the JMU culture.”

operate, are one of many fac-tors being reviewed during the period of suspension. � e hap-penings at W&M will not have an effect on the new policies being written though, according to Paul Whatley, the Fraternity and Sorority Life coordinator for JMU.

Whatley also said there have been no violations of the proba-tion regulations by any of JMU’s social fraternities and sororities under FSL.

Currently, a committee of JMU Greek leaders is reviewing the alcohol policies, and they will present them in two weeks.

At W&M, resident advisers are meeting with students in dorms and discussing the new guidelines.

Jonathan Miutz, a freshman African American studies major at W&M, said the student hand-book was changed over the summer and campus officials have been enforcing the new rule.

“If they spot a beer pong table in the basement or the common room, a campus o� cial can ask for it to be removed,” Miutz said.

Whitson said some of the stu-dents want to keep their tables for use other than beer pong.

“Some students have spent a great deal of time on these tables, making and decorating them,” Whitson said. “Now they would like to hang them on the walls as decorations, so we are working with them.”

The administration has not yet decided whether it will allow

such room décor and is still dis-cussing the issue.

“When a ban like this is put in place, people get pretty creative about hiding and having tables,” Miutz said. “It’s only a ban on tables that’s exclusively for beer pong.”

In the midst of the social probation and the policy amend-ment at W&M comes formal sorority recruitment. Recruit-ment began Wednesday and runs until Bid Celebration on Tuesday.

Prohibiting drinking games follows the FIPG policy for W&M. � e FIPG policy is used by Greek-letter organizations and writes the standard guid-lines for social events. In the document, FIPG states that “no member or pledge, associate/new member or novice shall permit, tolerate, encourage or participate in ‘drinking games.’ ”

until the November midterm elections, tensions are high and Congressional incumbents are sweating more with each new day. � ere is a thick dividing line between Democrats and Republi-cans among United States citizens on policies such as health care, � nancial reform and immigration. � e upcom-ing Nov. elections could prove to be pivotal for the agenda that follows the remaining two years of President’s Obama’s term.

Already we are seeing a divide in the Democratic Party with incumbents on the left swaying away from the poli-cies of Obama in an attempt to gain voter favor come election time. Sena-tor Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) was the � rst Democratic senator to publicly go against Obama’s continued spending in the stimulus package. On Sept. , Sen. Bennet said, “I will not support addi-tional spending in a second stimulus package.” While most left-wing politi-cians approve of this kind of economic recovery plan, some, like Bennet, appar-ently are starting to realize the need to reduce spending and lower taxes in order to jump-start the economy. Is this really what they believe, or is it just a last minute attempt at grabbing another two years of o� ce on Capitol Hill?

I believe most of these left-wing poli-ticians, like Bennet, are interested in merely extending their years in o� ce, and not in promoting policies that will bene� t the people. You see this every November during midterm election time. Politicians move around the table for a three-month period so they can be reelected, then they switch right back to the side that made them unpopular and unproductive in the � rst place.

� e Senate is not the only chamber in Congress expressing apparent distaste for the current handling of spending and tax cuts. � e House is also throw-ing up last-minute re-election attempts

over Obama’s economic policies. Rep-resentative Gary Peters (D-Mich.) has stressed that he supports extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Amer-icans — something Obama has been � rmly against even before he took o� ce. Another House member, Representative Jason Altmire (D-Pa.) has expressed concerns over Obama’s direction for the economy, “I think the economy is one of the things that’s making the pub-lic uneasy about the Democratic Party right now — that there hasn’t been a consistent message on the economy.”

While a lot of Democratic incum-bents fear losing their seat in November, a number of Republican incumbents are also becoming uneasy over their congressional future and job security on Capitol Hill. You only have to drive down Interstate or Port Republic Road to see signs calling for the removal of incumbents and a demand for a fresh line of people in Congress who aren’t “career politicians,” but rather simply regular American citizens who repre-sent the views of the American people.

Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) will face a tough challenge from Democrat-ic primary winner Rodney Glassman on Nov. . McCain is running for a � fth term in the U.S. Senate, and with the pressing

concern over age in Congress and term limits among some Americans, McCain is by no means a shoo-in for another term. A lot of Republican politicians fear Americans have been dissatis� ed with their apparent lack of e� ort to con-trol the left-wing regime going on in the country right now and believe Ameri-cans view them as corrupt, sel� sh and greedy.

On top of that, with the recent scan-dals involving Goldman Sachs, a lot of Republican incumbents fear Americans use “corrupt capitalism” as a stereotype when talking about conservative eco-nomics. It also doesn’t help that the liberal media constantly blames the Republicans for the current state of the economy. Although the Republicans seemingly don’t have as much concern as the Democrats, the left-wing media wants them to know that they are not completely satis� ed with their job per-formance either.

With time slowly winding down before November begins, it is going to be very interesting to see not only how the faces in both chambers of Congress change, but also how these possible changes effect congressional majori-ties and the ability or inability to press on with the policies currently being put into play. Are the Republicans going to win the House and not the Senate? Are they going to lose both? If they gain the majorities in Congress, will the Republi-cans attempt to de-fund the health-care bill and cut down on government enti-tlement programs? No matter what happens, Americans are continually going to express disapproval over the constant lies being told by high-ranking o� cials and the numerous, unsuccess-ful agendas being put into play by the Obama adminstration.

Let me start out by saying that I, in no way whatsoever, endorse the Spring-fest riots. I will, however, be the � rst to acknowledge that there’s nothing like a good protest. In fact, it’s one of the

few remaining positive repre-sentations of America. But this isn’t the s where students who care what goes on in this world are pro-testing a war that

they don’t agree with. � is was a bunch of self-centered alcoholics who think � ghting for something you believe in is quoting a Beastie Boys lyric and burn-ing dumpsters. � at doesn’t give us a lot of legitimacy.

Springfest brought about a series of harsh alcohol regulations. We all know this by now and there’s no need to embellish upon the Gestapo-ness of the recent police activity. In all honesty, Springfest was a good wake-up call let-ting us know that we need to tone down the drinking at least a little bit.

But JMU can’t have this all-or-noth-ing approach to the student body and drinking. When in history has an authoritarian rule produced pro-gressive results and positive relations between groups? State troopers at a tailgate? Really? Why not educate and inform us rather than sti� e us? How is that preparing us for life? I love my school, and I think the people who go here are great people, which is why I’m writing this article. � e people who are responsible for making the big choic-es at JMU are a bunch of out-of-touch geriatrics.

Students here are a lot smarter than we get credit for. It’s just that we have a big reputation as a party school, and

people are always � rst to criticize rather than applaud. � at’s just human nature. At JMU we have a work hard, play hard attitude, and what’s wrong with that? We’re smart people and JMU graduates have, and will continue to go far in life. I don’t need to drop facts to prove to anyone that we are becoming more academically competitive. Despite the presence of alcohol, we are still a rap-idly growing school.

But the administration needs to make more of an e� ort to communi-cate and connect with us. Now, I’m not a fan of Greek life. That said, it’s completely unfair to put the Inter-fraternity and Panhellenic Association members on social probation, par-ticularly those who didn’t take part in Springfest. Was Springfest o� cially created or endorsed by these groups? No. I understand that you’re looking to rework alcohol rules and regula-tions within the various organizations, but that action is interpreted an igno-rant pointing of the finger, as if you were looking for someone to blame and chose the demographic that ste-reotypically has the most problems with alcohol. � at’s irresponsible and lazy and increases tension between the administration and us.

Before you start hating on me for sid-ing against authority, let me say that this is equally the students’ respon-sibility too. We need to prove that

we’re smart people, because honest-ly, we haven’t done a very good job at that. Academically, yes. Cultured and responsible, no. Read the news, learn your rights and become an educated citizen. Peacefully question authority and get involved in JMU activities. Hell, start your own JMU activity. Be a posi-tive force for this school.

In terms of Greek life, for instance, we can’t sit around being irresponsible and stupid waiting for authorities to tell us we have to change. We should be using good judgment to come up with our own responsible rules and regu-lations so that we can be trusted and all move forward together making this school a fun and better place.

All that crazy stu� parents and teach-ers are constantly telling you to do to become a more sophisticated and open-minded person is amazingly not just because they like telling you what to do. Imagine what a force an educat-ed and passionate student body could be. We could take intelligent stands against things we don’t agree with. We could have a more active voice in the running of this school. We could help in� uence the decisions that are made and the direction this school is going in. We need to prove to everyone that we can continue to work hard, play hard and have a positive e� ect on our community.

Within the next to years our generation is going to be in charge of the world. � at’s a terrifying thought and we need to be prepared. What bet-ter place to start than in college? We need to take the � rst step and be willing to work together with the administra-tion. We need to be the change.

Undue CelebrationAs the JMU o� ense walked o� the � eld, having secured an underwhelming victory, the Liberty University football team took a knee to say a few words and pray. Overhead, � reworks exploded, mandating the attention of fans, players and coaches.

More than � ve minutes later, the Flames were still waiting for a moment of quiet so they could � nish praying and speak to each other.

“I was going to patiently await the conclusion of the � reworks so I could express some things to my football team before I sent them to the locker room,” Liberty head coach Danny Rocco said at the press conference after the game. “It certainly did go longer [than expected]. It was not a very positive memory for us and our football program.”

� e � reworks were a celebration excessive to the point of discourtesy and melodrama. With all due respect to Liberty, as an out-of-conference foe, the game doesn’t carry much importance and did not warrant such elaborate revelry.

� ankfully, the � reworks were sponsored by � e University Outpost and this mock celebration was not funded by JMU or students’ tuition. But who thought this advertising campaign was appropriate?

While admittedly, the � reworks were planned in advance of the game and the results could not have been known, it remains an opportunity missed to show our class and courtesy as an institution. Next time let’s show some taste and save the � reworks for a truly deserving game night.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Refund PleaseAs a result of the C lot next to the

Integrated Science and Technology building being closed to commuter parking, I propose all JMU students who paid full price ($ for commuters — a percent increase since the - school year) for a parking pass should send a brief letter to JMU Parking Ser-vices asking for a partial refund.

It seems only fair that if JMU deems it necessary to take away a large portion

of our parking spots, (which are in high demand every morning as you all know) we should receive a fair, pro-portional refund for a service that is no longer available.

Finally, I would like to advise anyone arguing that JMU faculty needs all new spots to take a gander at the part of the C lot that has been taken away. To say the lot is under-utilized would be an understatement.

As Americans, we pride ourselves in our technological advancement. As technology advances, we continu-ously phase out old methods to � nd more effective and efficient ways to accomplish our tasks. Animal testing is the scienti� c method that needs to be phased out next.

In , according to David Graham, the associate director of the United States Food and Drug Administration, approximately , Americans experienced drug-induced strokes and heart attacks by using Vioxx, which was prescribed to treat arthritis and acute pain. About , people died. Vioxx is one of many cases where a product was tested on animals, and the results did not correctly reflect what would happen in a human body. The FDA doesn’t generally require animal tests

for drugs or cosmetics, but they are still frequently used.

� e FDA and other federal agen-cies came together to create the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Meth-ods in . � e committee’s mission statement says it will “focus e� orts on alternatives that may improve toxicity characterization, increase savings in time and cost, and even re� ne, reduce or replace animal use.”

There are more than alterna-tives to animal testing that are more accurate and more economically fea-sible. � e ICCVAM recommends these alternative tests. Microdose testing is considered one of the best options to replace animal testing. Microdosing is conducted by giving a human vol-unteer about one-tenth milligram of

the drug and analyzing blood samples post-dosage. This method is fast-er, cheaper and more accurate than current methods, which take about years and more than $ billion to develop a single drug. However, the microdosing method is voluntary and requires many volunteers to sign con-sent forms, while animals are readily available as testing subjects.

Excluding the monetary and pre-cision concerns, we should address a major ethical concern. According to PETA, right now there are more than million animals submitted to vari-ous forms of testing torture every year. Most of these animals are subject to unnecessary surgery and treatments without the aid of pain killers.

Some animals are even purposeful-ly given medical ailments or used to

test poisons such as lethal injections. Utilizing animal testing is not effec-tive for the suffering it creates. For example, rabbits’ eyelids are removed so cosmetics can be more easily test-ed on their eyes. According to PETA’s website, Professional Laboratory and Research Services, Inc. tests � ea and tick repellant on dogs and cats. Please take a second to consider how terrible it is to subject an animal, commonly a household pet, to thousands of tick or mosquito bites.

When I say animal testing should be stopped, I am not advocating that medical research should be stopped. � e ethical costs in our current prac-tices need to be evaluated and we need to be willing to accommodate a cruelty free solution. It would be more bene-ficial for medical research to use an

alternative method to produce drugs and cosmetic product that will have less adverse side e� ects. Animals and humans are very di� erent, and we need to protect patients from potential death like the Vioxx incident.

I urge you to read your cosmetic and household product labels to see if they have been tested on animals. If you � nd the products you choose are tested on animals, next time you shop remem-ber to purchase cruelty free. If you buy something that has been tested on animals, then you are advocating and funding that cruelty. We can educate ourselves to make more informed deci-sions about the products we use.

concert puts carteL back in spotLight on page 12

It’s a good thing the eighth annual Spa-ghettifest was held at an outside venue; if it were indoors, it would have blown the roof off.

The brainchild of Mickey Glago, a music industry professor and Midnight Spaghetti & The Chocolate G-Strings guitarist, Spa-ghettifest features regional and national acts with several musical backgrounds. This year, the three-day festival was held at Buf-falo Gap Camp in Capon Bridge, W.Va.

Funk and hip-hop acts, like the head-lining Midnight Spaghetti and Shock-G of Digital Underground, compelled even wall-flower attendees to boogie down on the second night. Other eclectic bands, such as the Richmond ska fixture Murphy’s Kids, Harrisonburg natives March to the Arctic

and the spacey Pelicanesis, entertained roughly 2,000 people this weekend.

Nearing the end of the set on night one, Murphy’s Kids frontman John Charlet ordered the crowd to split in two. As he com-manded the divided crowd to charge into each other and “give the person across from you the biggest hug you’ve ever given,” there was little doubt among the audience it was the largest group hug that weekend.

And in a split second, the song drove the front-row crowd of about 100 people to hurl into each other in a textbook display of friendly slam-dancing.

Although Murphy’s Kids set the bar for night one, they were soon to be matched by the self-described “roots musician,” Zach Deputy.

a Different recipe

Student forms band, sells T-shirts to foster kindnessBy Jordan Krugcontributing writer

One might recognize James Orrigo as last year’s “JMU Idol” winner who stole the show with his popular song, “Boat Shoes.” But he’s not just a guy with a gui-tar, and Orrigo’s band, Lad In A Battle, is more than music; it stands for an idea of a caring society that raised $1,000 last year.

“I wanted it to be a positive move-ment encouraging people to do acts of kindness,” Orrigo said.

The Lad In A Battle catchphrase, “Every day is a struggle,” comes from the many hurdles Orrigo has faced. When his mom was diagnosed with cancer, she was given 12 months to live. She’s still fighting today on what will soon be nine years later. He knows that his

benevolence and charity work has alle-viated some of her struggles.

Orrigo himself also had a personal battle when he received two back-to-back concussions while playing lacrosse. He had to relearn simple things like how to speak and walk.

“We’ve proved a lot of people wrong. Our family has a track record,” he said.

The movement idea started when he was bringing in groceries for his grand-mother one day and she responded with, “What a nice young lad you are.” He saw how happy it made her, even though it was a simple gesture, and the name just stuck.

Last year, to get the word out, the sophomore justice studies major made 150 T-shirts with the Lad In A Battle logo and catchphrase.

Selling for $15 each, with all proceeds

going to Make-A-Wish Foundation, the shirts sold out immediately. His char-ity choice of Make-A-Wish Foundation came from meeting sick kids in the hos-pital where his mother received cancer treatment.

The 30-year-old organization is dedi-cated to granting the wishes of children with life threatening illnesses.

“To see these kids … it’s the most humbling and gut-wrenching experi-ence,” he said.

When asked to pick a child for the money to go to, Orrigo told people to put the money wherever they wanted.

“There was no way I could choose,” he said.

The Shenandoah Valley’s own baby Bonnaroo, complete with girls in fairy costumes and glow sticks of all kinds, took place this weekend during Spaghettifest.

“I made the drive because festivals like this are three days of magical freedom: off of work, off of school,” said senior Spanish major Susie Lilburn. “I worked hard the past two weeks to come here.”

Lilburn is one of many students who traveled to W.Va. in order to enjoy the event. Created by Mickey Glago, a JMU professor, Spaghettifest provides a per-fect combination of camping and music to entertain a wide-spectrum audience.

Glago held the first Spaghettifest eight years ago while he was a student in JMU’s music industry program. The event began

as a thesis for the three credit music industry internship required before graduation.

Now with a 6-year-old son and teach-ing concert production and promotion as well as sound reinforcement in the music industry department, Glago continues his “solo experience” of planning the event.

“I sleep two to four hours a night year round,” Glago said. “You create a lot of energy for things you care about.”

Glago planned this year’s event in the wee hours of the morning and late at night around when his son slept. But instead of feeling exhausted, Glago felt invigorated by his tight schedule and seemed to avoid sleep whenever possible.

“My whole week is a nonstop cycle of things that make me happy,” Glago said.

bands | ‘Everybody’s awesome’

by Malissa WattersonThe Breeze

Inside Wilson Hall’s audito-rium Friday night, hundreds of JMU students excitedly danced and jumped to the sounds of upbeat, catchy guitar riffs and melodic choruses that kicked off this year’s new series of musical performances.

The seasoned Atlanta, Ga., pop-rock quintet Cartel and JMU’s own Casey Cavanagh Band both gave highly energized performances during the first concert of University Program Board’s new Wilson Concert series.

According to UPB’s Vice President of Marketing Zach-ary Hamby, a senior marketing major, 550 tickets were sold for Friday’s concert.

The first 75 students in line for the show received orange wrist-bands and were given access to stand directly in front of the stage.

Alissa Yong, a freshman social work major, arrived early with two friends so she could get a coveted wristband and be close to the two bands that performed.

“It’s a better experience if you’re closer to them,” Yong said.

At exactly 8 p.m. junior media arts and design major Casey

Cavanagh and his band walked confidently on stage, ready to warm the crowd up for the high-ly anticipated Cartel.

The four band members played several songs from their 2009 album, “Square One,” their first full-length that showcases Cavanagh’s distinct deep register and the band’s home-grown folk, rock sound.

In between songs, Cavanagh joked with band members and the crowd, creating a relaxed and intimate environment inside the open and dark auditorium.

Cavanagh also brought out a few quirky dance moves during the band’s special rendition of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” a song that got the whole crowd on their feet.

Following a brief intermis-sion, the main act of the night was greeted with high-pitched screams and loud clapping as they ran on to the stage.

Cartel wasted no performance time and quickly picked the con-cert back up opening with a song filled with strong, up-tempo rhythms and impressive on-pitch vocals by lead singer Will Pugh.

The songs that followed were primarily from the band’s latest album, “Cycles” and their first album, “Chroma.”

“ ‘Cycles’ was our new record in October so it’s still really fun to perform,” Pugh said. “ ‘Chroma’ was our biggest album so people know more of those songs and it makes for a better show.”

Halfway into the concert, Car-tel played their most popular hits, “Honestly” and “Say Any-thing (Else),” both recorded on “Chroma.”

The band also performed a captivating cover of Oasis’ “Won-derwall,” with Pugh passionately screaming out the chorus toward the end of the song.

During each song, Cartel per-formed like true concert veterans, playing their instruments with full enthusiasm and engaging with the entire crowd.

“I hadn’t heard of Cartel before today, but now that I’ve seen them, I’m a fan,” said Loren Lulushi, a junior computer sci-ence major.

Last year, Lulushi attended the Boys Like Girls concert inside the much larger Convocation Center.

Although the Convocation Center offered more seating and a bigger setting, Lulushi preferred the smaller concert inside Wilson Hall on Friday.

“No one was really standing at the Convocation Center, but more people were standing [in Wilson

Hall],” Lulushi said. “It was more packed and people seemed more into it.”

Freshman mathematics major Amanda Fernandez enjoyed see-ing Cartel inside a smaller setting as well, but felt that bigger acts should remain at the Convoca-tion Center.

“Bigger bands should be at the Convocation Center and not here because it’s a better setting,” Fernandez said. “It has more of a concert feel.”

Hamby says he expects the next two concerts for the Wilson Concert series to sell out in the upcoming months.

In addition to hosting Cartel, UPB will bring rapper B.o.B. on Oct. 28 and singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles on Dec. 3 to Wil-son Hall — the first time UPB has held a concert series inside the auditorium.

According to Hamby, the stu-dent organization wanted to include diverse acts in this year’s series to accommodate different musical genres.

“We tried to get as many dif-ferent bands as we could and we wanted to please as many people as we can,” Hamby said.

believes the public isn’t exposed to much of his music.

“The public just knows what they’ve been been fed in the past,” Deputy said. “Like when you ask a little kid what they want for dinner and they say macaroni and cheese. But you’ve got to give them what’s good and nutritious, for their body and their ears. And that’s what I try to do.”

Charlet echoed Deputy’s thoughts, citing experiences of being immersed in Richmond’s hardcore punk scene when he and Murphy’s Kids guitarist Reid Attaway were in seventh grade.

“Before I saw any of that stuff, I thought all the people that played music were on TV,” Charlet said. “And then I start-ed going to church basements and little punk dives, and all of a sudden, it was accessible. I thought I could do that.”

Before Deputy’s set, several concertgoers had not heard of him before learning the festi-val’s lineup. That would soon change when the crowd flood-ed to the main stage to hear Deputy’s complex beat-box interlaced with guitar sweeps and down-home blues vocals.

By the end of a nearly two hour set, listeners had trouble

moving away from the main stage as Deputy invoked ele-ments of The Jacksons’ “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)” and combined the funk with elements of salsa, gospel and the guilty pleasure of Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters.”

Deputy would be the only one to receive an encore the first night of Spaghettifest 8.

Other national artists, like Rusted Root’s Michael Glabicki, found it easy to warm up to a smaller venue with an energetic crowd.

“This is what little kids like to call, ‘The Ice Age Song,’ ” Glabicki joked, as he and his bandmates launched into his hop-around neo-classic “Send Me on My Way.”

The music wasn’t the only thing diverse and welcoming about Spaghettifest. Although most of the bands were associ-ated with Harrisonburg, either through JMU or the scene of downtown venues, the rela-tionship seems to be symbiotic.

Attaway thought the atmo-sphere is what keeps other bands coming back.

“We come here because everybody’s awesome,” Att-away said. “There was a time when three of us were at JMU at the same time, and that sort of became our home away from home for the band.”

This is normal — as normal as it can be — for Spaghet-tifest. Harrisonburg bands like psychedelic jammers Pants for Bears will be making Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” their own song one second, and then hanging out with the concert-goers another.

Bassist Lee Hartman said that their band name was actu-ally derived from situations akin to music festivals.

“We named it Pants for Bears because it didn’t give any incli-nation to what type of music we were playing, so we left it wide open,” Hartman said. “But at a festival, if you’ve never heard a band before, you’re more likely to go see them than you would if you heard they were playing at a bar.”

Junior nursing major Mer-edith Routt also found a welcoming atmosphere await-ing her and a group of friends within the mountains close to the West Virginia border.

“The groups of people that you meet, everyone is nice and so open and very easy to talk to,” Routt said. “I mean, we’re out in the open listening to music for three days straight, how could you not be?”

“Being awake is much better than being asleep.”

Glago focused the event around providing more oppor-tunity to groups who otherwise might not have played. He was constantly watching out for new talent, paying close attention to crowd reactions and energy.

“Always in my mind, this will be a JMU event, not necessar-ily the school, but the culture of music and fellowship,” Glago said. “Everyone’s here to have a good time and it creates a kind of community.”

David Cottrell, a music profes-sor at JMU, attended the festival on Friday. Cottrell brought his daughter, Natalie, to the event for the first time.

“I’m here to enjoy it and sup-port everyone,” Cottrell said. “Mickey does a great job.”

While some attended for a vacation away from school work and support, senior business major Dan Auth made it to the event in order to work on his assignment of creating a prod-uct and trying to sell it.

“I got let out of class to come here and sell replaceable lighter key chains for my final project in Management 372,” Auth said.

While the headliners perform-ing at Spaghettifest may attract a larger crowd, Glago notes that

the headliners are not the main reason for the event.

“It’s focused on showcas-ing regional talents along with national acts that help propel the event,” Glago said.

One of these local groups includes March to the Arctic, a band under JMU’s student-run record label Madistrophic.

The event was a “big eye open-er, [it] gives us a chance to spread our music,” said senior media arts and design major, Christian Gehring, the bands lead guitarist.

A not-so-well-known side to the event is the charity donation factor. This is unadvertised to make the event nothing less than an enjoyable time with thoughts focused on the people you love and the friends that count as family, according to Glago.

“We don’t make money from the event,” Glago said. “We col-lect enough money to pay our expenses and whatever is left over goes to a charity.”

This year, the charity organiza-tion selected was the American Foundation for Suicide Pre-vention. This organization specializes in providing help to those who have a mental disor-der and educating others on the subject.

“Everyone goes through thoughts that just need an ear to listen to them,” Glago said. “This organization provides service for

that.” In the past, the event has

always been held close to Harri-sonburg. Last year’s Spaghettifest was located 20 minutes away in Natural Chimneys Regional Park and Campground. This year, however, the event was held nearly two hours away in Buffa-lo Gap Camp, located in Capon Bridge, W.Va.

“With changes in the owner-ship of the park, it was time to move to a closer network that would be an hour and a half away from everybody,” Glago said. “It was taking a chance with some-thing new, but the system is the same.”

Glago’s adventure in trying a new location seemed successful.

“I like this venue,” said senior social work major Heather Hunt-er. “This place is great and I like the area better.”

While Spaghettifest traces its roots to JMU, students from other schools can find something enjoyable in the event.

“I’ve never been to a festival before,” said senior psycholo-gy major Sarah Fischetti, who attends Radford University. “It’s a great atmosphere, every-one’s really friendly and it gives you something to listen to that you might not on a daily basis.”

Unimpressive follow-upOffense struggles, defense stifles en route to 10-3 escape

By matt dEmskYcontributing writer

The lengthy fireworks display fol-lowing JMU’s unimpressive 10-3 victory over Liberty University on Saturday night easily could have been mistaken for some Fourth of July festivities. But the show came after more than two hours of medi-ocre football, and the JMU team that recently dethroned the Virginia Tech Hokies hardly deserved the seem-ingly endless celebration.

Haunted by an untimely turnover and stifled by a motivated Liberty team, the No. 3-ranked Dukes took longer than expected to establish themselves at Bridgeforth Stadium.

“I don’t ever remember us being effective on offense,” JMU head coach Mickey Matthews said after the game. “We played very effective against Tech. This week, we didn’t.” The JMU offense struggled from the start, as redshirt senior Drew Dudzik’s interception at the goal line early in the second quarter was the closest the Dukes got to the end zone in the first half.

The No. 21-ranked Flames nearly took a 3-0 lead into halftime, as they possessed the ball in JMU territory seeming to be in control of the game with two minutes left in the sec-ond quarter. With no momentum and limited involvement from the sold-out crowd, the Dukes’ defense

needed to make a game-changing play.

Faced by a fourth down and short at the JMU 30-yard line, Liberty head coach Danny Rocco volunteered to go for the first down instead of attempting the long field goal.

Liberty redshirt junior quarter-back Mike Brown, who was regarded by JMU as the Flames’ top threat entering the game, attempted to run for the first down. Just as he reached the line of scrimmage, he was met by JMU redshirt junior strong safety Vidal Nelson, who stopped him in his tracks, giving the Dukes the ball back with one last chance to score in the half.

Nelson helped anchor a group

that held Liberty to 264 yards of total offense.

“They have a championship cali-ber defense,” Rocco said.

Dudzik would make the most of the remaining moments in the first half. He led the team on a three-play, 70-yard drive spanning just 42 sec-onds. The drive was sparked by a momentous 39-yard run by Dudzik, which put the team in prime scoring position in Liberty territory.

One play later, Dudzik started the Dukes’ scoring with a 31-yard touch-down pass to senior Griff Yancey.

At halftime, the JMU women’s basketball team was honored by

Senior leads convincing turnaroundBy matt o’toolEThe Breeze

As Lindsay Callahan enters the home stretch of her JMU career, she finds herself a part of something new — a winning season. As an outside hitter for the Dukes’ volleyball team, she watched the team struggle the past two seasons, compiling a combined 24-37 record. But this year has been a breath of fresh air for the program, as up to this point the team is 11-4, under new coach Lauren Steinbrecher and is tied for the best record in the Colonial Athletic Association.

What adjustments have you and the team made that has led to your success this year? I think our biggest thing is the coaching change. We kind of have a whole different attitude and outlook. We’ve returned everyone, so no change in players.

during the offseason, you underwent coaching changes. How has that benefited the team? It’s benefited a lot. A lot more focus on what’s going on on the court and not about the small things.

What coaching philosophies does lauren bring that bring success to the program? Fight every point no matter what, don’t take a point off.

How do you show your leadership on and off the court? Be as consistent as possible. Don’t be a hypocrite. If I say one thing, try and do that, and live up to what I say.

What area does this team need improving on, as Caa play approaches? We scout other teams and know what there

doing, but the number one thing is take care of the ball and play our best on our side of the court.

What is the best part about being on the volleyball team? Probably always having that family of girls. And coming in as freshmen you always have friends; that’s probably the biggest thing.

Who is the funniest player on the team and why? I’d probably say Jessie [ Zeroual] because she is very spastic and from Canada. She is just a different player and fun to be around.

What is your major and what do you plan on doing with it post-college? I am a media arts and design major. And what I want to do when I graduate, you can ask me that in 6 months.

What impact do you want to have on this program when your career is all said and done? The biggest thing for me is to make this place a better atmosphere. I want this program to be better because of what we have started this season.

What is your toughest match of the year? I’d say Mason just because they’re our rivals right off the bat. [The Dukes lost 3-0 to The Patriots on Saturday.]

What do the freshman bring to this year’s team and how have they helped out? Katie [ Daorai] has come in and played some back row, which has been good. Mostly it’s been in practice though, playing on the other side and getting us ready to challenge teams every day.

Senior Lindsay Callahan has arguably been the Dukes’ best all-around player this season, as she currently stands in second on the team with 33 blocks and 167 kills. She is also third on the squad with 137 digs. A four-year player for the Dukes, Callahan has started 104 of the team’s 106 games since coming to JMU.

The JMU run defense was swarming throughout Saturday’s game, holding the Liberty rushing attack to 61 yards on 32 carries. The three points given up by the Dukes were the fewest the team has surrendered in a single game since beating Hofstra University 56-0 in October 2008.

Dukes win overtime thriller against conference foe

Saturday, the Dukes (6-1-0, 1-0-0 in the CAA) traveled to the campus of Tow-son University to start Colonial Athletic Association play against the Tigers (6-1-0, 0-1-0 in the CAA). The JMU squad would overcome a daunting second half-deficit, winning the game 3-2 in overtime.

Towson came into the game unde-feated and on the brink of a national ranking, and after taking a 2-0 lead in the first half, it seemed to be more of the same from the Tigers. But the Dukes would rally after halftime, as redshirt sophomore Christian McLaughlin and sophomore Markus Bjoerkheim each tallied a goal, tying the game, 2-2.

It was Bjoerkheim’s third goal of the season and McLaughlin’s first. Both players have started each of the team’s seven games thus far this season.

After regulation time ran out with the game still tied, the teams went to overtime. About three minutes into the extra period, junior striker Patrick Innes would send the JMU team home happy, knocking in the game-winner. The goal came off a rebounded shot by senior C.J. Sapong, who was credited with the assist.

Sapong, who also assisted on Bjo-erkheim’s goal, now has the ninth-most points in school history with 80. It was the first goal of the season for Innes.

JMU dominated the game offensively, out-shooting the Tigers by a 26-8 mar-gin. The Dukes will travel to Boston this Saturday for their game against CAA member Northeastern University. The teams tied their last matchup, 1-1, last season in Harrisonburg.

As the sun went down and the temperature dropped, so did the fortune of the JMU women’s soc-cer team on Friday night. First place Hofstra University blanked the Dukes 1-0 in the first confer-ence game of the season.

With this loss, the Dukes dropped to 4-5-0 on the sea-son. The Pride improved their record to 7-1-0 and have won seven games straight and lead the Colonial Athletic Association Conference.

“You always want to get out on the front foot and get three points for the first win in the con-ference games,” said head coach Dave Lombardo. “Hofstra, in my opinion, is the front-runner in the conference.”

JMU stormed out of the gates and within the first 15 minutes of the game shot three times, but to no avail. The Pride struck during the 21st minute of the game, as sophomore Amy Turner stroked the ball just barely catching the corner of the net from about 35 yards away.

At the end of the first half, the Dukes had four shots, but just one of them came after the first 15 minutes.

“We came out and dominated

the first half of the game,” said senior forward Cate Tisinger. “We missed some key opportu-nities throughout the game and could not come out and score in the second half.”

The Dukes spoiled many chances during the first half of the game. Perhaps their best chance to score occurred in the 15th minute of the game in which the Hofstra goalie stopped a shot by Tisinger in a one-on-one match.

Another opportunity for the Dukes came in the 32nd minute, when again, Tisinger took advan-tage of a tough situation and got a shot off, but the ball sailed over the goal.

“As a whole, I think we are young, but we have more depth than we ever have,” Tisinger said. “I think that is important because we put subs in and can expect more, but tonight was not our night.”

The second half of the game was a back and forth battle, resulting in a stalemate. Both teams showcased their defen-sive skills, but there was a lack of offense. The Pride out shot JMU 13-10, and the Dukes were shutout for the third time of the season at home 1-0.

“We were passing and moving the ball together very well in the first half,” said senior goalkeeper

Diane Wszalek. “But, we just need to be able to do that for a full 90 minutes and we couldn’t do that tonight. That’s what hurt us.”

The best chance for the Dukes to score in the second half came with about 25 seconds left in the game, when freshman mid-dle Becky Sparks threw the ball from the side into the center of the field, but they could not capitalize.

“We need to work on our com-petitive spirit,” Lombardo said. “We tend to get down on our-selves too quickly. After we gave up that soft goal, we didn’t bat-tle for the rest of the first half. We came back in the second half, but it was a little too late.”

On Sunday, JMU faced con-ference opponent Northeastern University at home. After the Huskies scored within the first two minutes, the Dukes tied at the 17th minute thanks to a cross by Tisinger put in by redshirt sophomore Megan Fessler on a close range shot. Senior Teresa Rynier stepped up in the second half scoring twice to put the game away.

FootBALL | Defensive showcase

After seeing limited action in the first two games of the season, redshirt junior running back Scott Noble made a significant contribution against Liberty. He rushed for 294 yards and a touchdown last season.

JMU Alumni Association member and season ticket holder Martha Dalton said she is glad to see people coming out in droves to support the team she has loved all along.

“We’ve had season tickets for 19 years,” the Edinburg, Va., native said. “I have been coming to games before the stadium was even built.”

But Dalton couldn’t choose which stood out to her more: the 2004 national champion-ship or the Va. Tech victory.

“I think they were about even, all I know is I was scream-ing at both,” she said.

The result of the historic

Tech win is also leaving some students irritated because many are without a ticket to the Family Weekend game against the University of Delaware on Oct. 2. The new online system forces students to reserve tick-ets two Mondays in advance.

“I tried to go online three days after they went on sale and they were sold out,” fresh-man Mallory Draeger said. “I really just forgot.”

Due to the need to accom-modate family members, fewer tickets are available for that particular weekend. Draeger’s brother Michael, a junior, was conscious of the overflow of people attending the Delaware game and was ready the day

the tickets became available.“I figured with Family Week-

end more students would be going to the game, so I made sure to get my ticket on the first day,” he said.

With the new motto, “25K Strong: Join the Movement” getting fans of all ages excited for the future of the football program, JMU is bound to get some talented future Dukes, like Nathaniel.

“There is nothing I don’t like about JMU,” he said. “Except when they have riots.”

the fans, as head coach Kenny Brooks led the squad on to the field. The team, which qualified for the NCAA tournament after winning the Colonial Athletic Association title, was given a standing ovation by the sold-out crowd.

The start of the second half was regressive for the Dukes, as they got off just three offensive plays before punting on their first drive. Liberty seemed to have reestablished its offense, driving down the field with confidence in response. After putting together a respectable series, the Flames faced another fourth down on the JMU 30-yard line, and this time around, they decided to attempt an ambi-tious 47-yard field goal.

JMU broke through Liberty’s offensive line and junior corner-back Taveion Cuffee blocked the attempt.

“We had been practicing all week,” Cuffee said. “I got around the outside and made the block.”

The offense followed the block with a six-minute, 55-yard drive, successfully resulting in a 22-yard field goal by redshirt junior kicker Dixon Wright, put-ting the Dukes up 10-3.

While JMU was struggling by their standards, Liberty was simultaneously failing to impress. Both teams punted the ball six times and while Liberty was 4-15 on third down con-versions, the Dukes were even worse at just 3-13. The main dif-ference was on the ground, as the Dukes averaged five yards per rush, while the Flames aver-aged less than two.

The defense wasn’t willing to allow Brown to make any further impact on the game. Desperately trying to stage a late comeback in the fourth quarter, Brown folded to the combined pressure and coverage, as his ill-advised pass was intercepted by Cuffee.

“This defense is like a family,” Cuffee said. “At the end of the day, we’re so close. We have so much confidence in each other.”

Dudzik and the Dukes’ offense were able to run out the clock by gaining multiple first downs as the fourth quarter came to an end.

Led by redshirt junior Scott Noble, who rushed for 89 yards in the second half alone, JMU was able to secure its third con-secutive victory. It was Noble’s first contributing effort of the year after being suspended for the season opener against

Morehead State and seeing lim-ited action against Va. Tech.

“This is a game we definitely would have lost last year,” Mat-thews said. “Scott Noble gave us a huge shot in the arm. I don’t know if we would have won the game if Scott hadn’t played.”

With Noble giving the offense a much needed lift, the Dukes vaunted defense was the pri-mary reason they pulled out a victory in the low-scoring game. Led by redshirt freshman line-backer Stephon Robertson, named Player of the Game with 13 tackles, JMU was able to contain Brown and the entire Liberty offense to 130 yards and no points in the second half.

“Their defense didn’t sur-prise us,” Brown said. “We just weren’t able to execute.”

Before the Dukes’ next game this Saturday against No. 6 University of Delaware during Family Weekend, the offense will need to find the rhythm they demonstrated in Blacksburg.

“We just weren’t in sync,” Dudzik said. “I have to make more throws. Obviously, I wish we could have scored some more points. It’s not good enough. We need to get better.”

While waiting for the game to begin, families find a variety of childern’s activities, including a moonbounce and a chance to get a picture taken with the Duke Dog mascot.

By Jeff Wade The Breeze

As the leaves fall off the trees,

television sets across the country tune in to a new season of television. This year boasts a wide variety of new premieres responsible for filling in for some departing heavy hitters like “Lost” and “24.”

The good news is that there are new drama premieres showing up over the next week.

What to WatchEver since “The Sopranos” went off

the air, HBO has lacked a signature show. “Boardwalk Empire” (Sundays at 9 p.m.), starring Steve Buscemi, with influence from collaborator Martin Scorsese, may raise eyebrows. Prohibition mobsters in Atlantic City paint an intriguing picture. Somehow, the whole manages to be even better than the sum of its parts.

Lavish, ornate and bustling with period piece flourish, “Boardwalk” pops with visual flair and is backed by an astounding jazz soundtrack that evokes the era. But more than just a pretty face, “Boardwalk” has the intricate and involving plot that one would expect from an HBO production.

It is without a doubt the best new show of the season, and plan on

spending Sunday nights with that one friend who has HBO.

For anyone without HBO, FX’s “Terriers” (Wednesdays at 10 p.m.) is there to fill in as your best new show of the season instead. “Terriers” has the benefit of already having a couple of episodes under its belt. Its scrappy approach to the standard detective show is aided by the gritty styling typical of FX and strong performances by leads Donal Logue (as ex-cop Hank) and Michael Raymond-James (as his buddy Britt).

“Terriers” finds FX working with the quirky leading pair playing detective — an angle that is usually the USA Network’s stock and trade. But even in its short time on air, the case of the week format is tied to light serialization that gives each episode weight, without becoming too confusing. Snappy and well-acted, “Terriers” has a lot of bite.

Fox’s “Lone Star” (Mondays at 9 p.m.) is probably the boldest new show available on network TV. “Lone Star” depicts Bob Allen (James Wolk) as seemingly happy and normal man complete with a wife and a good old-fashioned work ethic — a work ethic that’s present in his real job as a con man and in his affair with his girlfriend on the side.

If “Lone Star” can keep its uncompromising sensibilities in tact

while avoiding descending into the soapy path the premise could take, it may end up standing with the cable shows it seeks to emulate.

What to Record

NBC’s “The Event” (Mondays at 9 p.m.) is an attempt to fill the void left by the end of ABC’S hit-series “Lost.”

Being brutally honest here, “The Event” will probably end up disappointing in the long run. But for everyone needing a post-“Lost” rebound, this may be as good as it gets. Yes, it falls into the same trappings that have sunk most “Lost” clones: The pacing is off and the titular event doesn’t even happen until the very end of the first episode. But as far as imitators go, it has enough promise to make it worth a couple episode of recovering “Lost” addicts’ time.

Switching gears to comedy, FOX’s “Running Wilde” (Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m.) is the show almost everybody wants to be good. Created by the “Arrested Development” mastermind Mitch Hurwitz and reuniting “Arrested” leads (Will Arnett and David Cross), “Running Wilde” is a chance for another show to reach the comedic heights of their former brainchild.

Will Arnett is in comfortable comedic territory as Steven Wilde, a

pompous blowhard who falls for his childhood sweetheart Emmy Kadubic (Keri Russell). Of course, she’s an environmentalist with a child in tow; hijinks ensue.

The jury is still out on this one, as the show has been revamped and retooled after an initially disappointing pilot episode. That being said, the experience of everyone involved makes it too good to dismiss outright.

What to avoidMost other new comedies of the

year very easily can be dismissed, though.

Unfortunately, this year’s comedy slate is regressive in a way that surpasses even worse than out-and-out remakes like “Nikita” and “Hawaii Five-O.”

CBS’s “Sh*! My Dad Says” (Thursdays at 8:30 p.m.) isn’t bad due to being based on the popular Twitter account and book; it’s bad because it replaces scathingly profane ramblings with inane and stereotypical sitcom trappings. Same goes with CBS’s other new comedy “Mike and Molly,” (Mondays at 9:30 p.m.) which keeps those antiquated sitcom stylings (laugh tracks) but adds overweight people and overreliance on broad physical humor.

CBS doesn’t have the monopoly on

awful sitcoms however. After finding success with “Modern Family” and “Cougar Town,” ABC squanders its momentum with a pair of lame offerings. The overly bitter “Better With You” (Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m.) and the bland high school reunion-focused “My Generation” (Thursdays at 8 p.m.) should call for a moratorium on the mockumentry format.

Having a culturally insensitive premise is one thing; being painfully unfunny is another less forgivable crime. “Outsourced” is guilty of both.

Clear front runner for worst new show of the year is NBC’s “Outsourced,” (Thursdays 9:30 p.m.) which focuses on Todd Dempsy (Ben Rappaport) when he finds that his job at an American novelty company has been outsourced to India. Traveling to India to work in a call center results in his culture shock, while we sit at home and wonder why the show is so awful.

Time will only tell if any one of these shows will make it to January. In the case of some, that’s a cause for excitement. But a winter with this set of comedies might be a cold and bitter one indeed.

complete with JMU colors. There’s only one catch with buying a shirt: Buyers have to promise to take a picture of them-selves performing a good deed while wearing it.

“The shirt enforces this kind of confidence to be really nice,” he said. “You just feel so much nicer in it. It’s like your armor, it gives you an excuse to do good. Nothing feels better than doing something nice, especially randomly.”

Orrigo gets photos sent to him every week, anything from opening doors for people to

volunteering with kids. People seem motivated to help others and the deeds seem to be getting more and more impressive.

“They don’t want to let me down, but the simplest ones count just as well,” he said.

Tiffany Crosby, who met Orri-go her freshman year when Lad In a Battle was created, is regu-larly involved with it. She owns two T-shirts.

“I have sent James a few pho-tos of some volunteering I did over the summer at my local food bank,” said Crosby, a sophomore psychology major. “The Lad In a Battle movement is a great way to inspire people to care about

the people around them and the world that he or she lives in. To me, Lad In a Battle is about ‘seiz-ing the day’ meaning, living life to the fullest while caring about the people and relationships you form while doing it.”

Orrigo got creative himself this summer when he decided to bike more than 20 miles of high-way with a sign reading, “Have a great day!”

Days later, people were still remembering it.

“Someone stopped me and said, ‘Were you the one on the highway?’ ” Orrigo said.

Another goal of Orrigo’s move-ment is to remind people that you

can have a good time without the use of substances.

“I got so sick of seeing people go out and get drunk every week-end,” he said.

He also was tired of people mistaking his bubbly and upbeat

demeanor for being drunk or high.

“You can go out, have fun and do adventurous things … without substance use,” he said. “Hopefully this gives [students] an outlet.”

Matt McKeon, a sophomore business management major, is grateful for the group.

It “made it easier to avoid peer pressure and still have fun with-out drugs and alcohol,” he said. “I also don’t drink or do drugs and quite honestly, it’s hard to find others with the same views.”

Orrigo explains his endeavor as “almost like a pay it forward.”

“Everyone’s stuck in their own

little bubble,” he said. Lad In a Battle “is something to serve as an excuse to look around, a lot of people are looking for some kind of way to help out.”

You can check out Orrigo, his songs and the movement on his Facebook and soon-to-be website, ladinabattle.com. He also will be performing in the downtown “ ’Burg Block Party” on Oct. 1.

“ Just a few years ag o, [Orrigo] couldn’t walk or talk,” McKeon said. “Now look at what he has done.”
