Drone use remains murky FAA updates regulations, many still await a definitive ruling on use By Chris Kent The Breeze
The average citizen will soon be able to accomplish the difficult task of taking aerial photographs. Unmanned Aerial Systems, or drones, are slowly being integrated into our society. However, as the drones become more prevalent, they are under scrutiny not only by the government, but private citizens. The Federal Aviation Administration recently cited regulations that
would allow for limited civilian use of drones. The regulation, titled “Education, Compliance, and Enforcement of Unauthorized Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operators,” dictates certain rules that drone fliers must follow. The National Policy Notice, published by the FAA, requires any civil or public drone controller to obtain an authorization to operate an aircraft in United States airspace, or a Special Airworthiness Certification. However, the extent to which drones are to be allowed
to be used in the U.S. is not completely defined. AirWare, a software and services company for commercial drones, now has the money to start creating customizable drones. According to AirWare, these drones can be used for anything from videotaping to tracking wildlife in real time. This presents huge potential for new companies and research institutions but muddles policy within the government. see drones, page 4

out, and I’m thinking we will be able to start this process sooner rather than later,” Goldberg said. Several items have to be checked off the list before the team can be official. The team must follow JMU’s set guidelines and meet its requirements for creating a club. According to the UREC, some of those requirements include: submitting a draft of a constitution, a list of at least 10 interested students and a committed faculty advisor, a statement of potential injuries and ways to minimize those and a presentation of the club to the Sport Club Executive Committee.
Bodkin served as director of the Arboretum since its inception in 1985 until 2000. He implemented several programs along the way, including botany education and Appalachian trail hikes, where he collected a variety of plants with students who joined him. Bodkin originally came to JMU in 1964 when it was still Madison College. He taught in the Department of Biology until 1998, and influenced the development of the department’s herbarium, a collection of pressed and dried plants available for study. He also advocated for JMU to create an on-campus arboretum. Bodkin originally proposed his idea in 1977 and, according to Mahon, pushed for it until the project was backed by President Ronald Carrier in 1985. Mahon said Carrier gave the go-ahead to allocate land for the Arboretum, and secured an agreement with the Board of Visitors to hold the land in preservation for the purpose of an educational tool and a public garden.

For the first time, JMU will have its first club handball team. While the sport is currently being played at an intramural level, JMU will soon be part of the handball expansion seen across the United States. The new handball team will be an official club sport in the near future and will play with other handball teams on the East Coast and in national tournaments. But first, it must complete UREC’s process for new sport clubs. Currently the team isn’t a recognized club by JMU and has had just two practices so far.
It’s been about a month since the team’s establishing process began. The formal application process is forthcoming. The team first contacted Chris Jones, the assistant director of sport clubs and youth programs, which is required by UREC for groups interested in starting a sport club. Only the first three prospective clubs will be considered each year. Sophomore marketing major Alex Goldberg, one of the club’s co-founders, has already established the line of contact with Jones. “We’re very early on, but I think when [Jones] sees we have a lot of progress and a lot of attention, guys keep coming
Last week the JMU community lost another one of its beloved members. Norlyn L. Bodkin is remembered as a friend, professor and influence, but most fittingly, the “Father of the JMU Arboretum.” The former biology professor died on Sept. 28 at the age of 77 after a short battle with Leukemia. Jan Mahon, the director of the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, met Bodkin in 2007 when she became the full-time director of the property. Bodkin was semi-retired and still working part time. “He was an enthusiastic lover of plants who enjoyed sharing his knowledge with others and taking students to locations where they could discover plants in their natural habitats,” Mahon said in an email.
“I’ll never forget — I remember digging up plants on these [field] trips and planting them in the Arboretum. And so, the legacy of the Arboretum will last as forever, as long James Madison [University] is around. And to me, he was the one who was primarily responsible for making that happen.”

On this day in 2006, The Breeze’s front page covered the results of the Board of Visitor’s decision to cut 10 sports teams in order to comply with Title IX requirements. Prior to the decision, JMU sponsored 28 intercollegiate sports teams; more than Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia. Title IX mandated that “a university’s athletic teams must reflect the male-tofemale ratio of the student body.” In 2006, the enrollment ratio was 61 percent female and 39 percent male, while the sports teams were 50.7 percent male and 49.3 percent female. The men’s teams that were cut included archery, cross-country, gymnastics, indoor track, outdoor track, swimming and diving and wrestling. Women’s archery, gymnastics and fencing were also cut.

WASHINGTON — Secret Service Director Julia Pierson resigned Wednesday amid mounting congressional criticism and as new revelations of agency lapses convinced President Barack Obama it was time for new leadership. Joseph Clancy, a former special agent in charge of the Presidential Protective Division of the Secret Service who retired in 2011, was named as acting agency director. Pierson, the first woman to head the elite agency that provides protection to presidents, offered her resignation less than two weeks after an armed man scrambled over a White House fence and made it inside.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Apple is no stranger to disruption, having upended the mobile industry with the iPhone. But some law enforcement officials are warning that the company is threatening to disrupt their efforts to fight crime. With its new iOS 8 software, Apple is locking itself out of users’ smartphones — leaving cops and the courts out in the cold. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company recently announced that photos, email, contacts and other information will now be encrypted with users’ passcodes, meaning “it’s not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data” from the phone.
CHICAGO — A Chicago man sent a series of letters claiming he was going to bomb buildings at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, threatening to shoot staff and rape, kill and decapitate students if he didn’t receive $50 million, according to federal court documents. Derrick Dawon Burns, 21, a former student at SIUC, has been charged with making bomb threats and mailing threatening communications, which were dated between September 2012 and October 2013. Burns is being held pending a detention hearing Wednesday in Chicago, according to court documents and a release from the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Illinois.
HONG KONG — Denouncing Beijing-backed dignitaries and continuing their street demonstrations, democracy protesters overshadowed ceremonies in Hong Kong on Wednesday marking the 65th anniversary of the founding of Communist China. “Step down!” a group of youths shouted out as the territory’s top official, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, appeared at an 8 a.m. flag-raising ceremony alongside Victoria Harbor. Others turned their backs and crossed their arms in defiance but otherwise did not disrupt the proceedings. By midafternoon, tens of thousands of people — perhaps more than 100,000 — were again flowing into main roadways.
IRBIL, Iraq — Kurdish militia have captured a strategic border town on the route between the Islamic State-held cities of Raqqa in Syria and Mosul in Iraq as part of a three-front offensive launched to retake territory lost to the group over the summer, Kurdish officials said Tuesday. The offensive, which was described as “limited”’ by a Kurdish security official, was supported by the heaviest antiIslamic State coalition airstrikes in a week, with warplanes flown by the United States and its allies striking at least 20 targets — including the first strikes by British planes since Parliament approved military action in Iraq.
IRBIL, Iraq — The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on Monday posted a third video featuring imprisoned British journalist John Cantlie, this one mocking President Barack Obama’s Sept. 10 speech in which he laid out his strategy for confronting the group. Cantlie has been a prisoner of the Islamic State for nearly two years. He described the American-European-Arab intervention against the Islamic State as unpopular and unlikely to succeed and said that it was not supported by the American people.

Crews install new traffic lights and replace sidewalk The Public Works Departmentis in partnership with the Faulconer Construction Company, is beginning their second phase of work, according to public information officer Mary-Hope Vass. The Harrisonburg Streetscape Project entitled “Our Next Steps” serves to make improvements to sidewalks and replace traffic signal poles, lighting and landscaping. Crews are currently working on the public parking lot across from Newman Avenue in the downtown area, replacing the old sidewalk with a new one with decorative brick. The project is expected to be complete sometime within the next two weeks. Today, Water Street from South Main Street to Liberty Street will be closed to allow for crews to install two new traffic and pedestrian signals. While these updates are taking place, the Water Street Parking Deck can be accessed from Bruce Street.

From student to teacher Instructor Shawn Lough reflects on his time as an undergrad at JMU and his transition to teaching By jessica lyon contributing writer Shawn Lough is a computer information systems instructor in the College of Business. Lough is part of an inclusive club at JMU — he is a triple Duke, having earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in business administration before coming back to work at JMU.
What influenced you to return to JMU to teach?
It was really the opportunity to teach at a school that has contributed so much to the success of my career, having received both my undergraduate as well as my graduate degrees here. I had so many inspirational professors at JMU who took the time to challenge me and my peers. Those professors really made an immense, positive impression on me. When I got the opportunity to come back, I realized that this is a great way to give back to JMU by providing real-world experiences and perspectives, which JMU helped me to achieve, that are applicable to the text in order to help students get an idea of what it might be like when they begin their careers. How does it feel to be an instructor in the very same building in which you have been a student in the past?
Every classroom that I have taught in, I have also been a student as well. I spent most of my time in Showker Hall as an undergraduate student as well as a graduate student. It’s really special to have this different perspective as an instructor while still holding close the memories of the different professors who taught me in the same room I am teaching in now.

Additionally, CIS is always changing. The textbook we use in class must be updated every other year in order to keep
The Massanutten Regional Library recently hired Denise Munro as its youth services coordinator, a position she’ll begin Oct. 13, according to Cheryl Griffith, the library’s community relations manager. “As the youth services coordinator, I want to work with Massanutten Regional Library’s staff and supporters to get a book into the hands of every child living in Harrisonburg and Rockingham and Page Counties,” Munro said. Munro has worked as a reference librarian at the library since 2010, where she has provided instruction in databases and information sessions to individuals, co-workers, library board members and schoolteachers.
The Harrisonburg Police Department is asking members of the community to help them with recent burglaries. Between 10 p.m. on Saturday and 5 a.m. on Sunday, items were stolen from 11 vehicles. The robberies took place on Rockingham Drive, Park Circle, 7th Street, Sumpter Court, Taliagerro Drive, Stuart Street and Lee Avenue. The burglars stole money, sunglasses, keys, a wallet and credit cards among other items. It’s believed that the vehicles were unlocked during the break-ins. The police are reminding all residents to lock their vehicles at night and not to leave any valuables or personal belongings in their car when left unlocked.
I’ve graduated from JMU twice. First in ’95, when I received my bachelor’s degree in business administration with a major in finance, and again in 2008 for my master’s degree in business administration.

up with the continuous advancements within CIS. It’s really exciting to me to see how CIS develops and evolves over time. Do you have any plans for the future as far as teaching at JMU?
I want to continue teaching COB 204 as long as there is a student enrollment need for me to teach that course. I don’t have any structured long-term plans because there’s a lot to get through today, and the way I see it, if you do those tasks well, the other opportunities will present themselves. contact Jessica Lyon at lyonjl@dukes.jmu.edu.

drone | FAA’s policies haven’t caught up with increased drone use

JMU’s University Marketing Photography Department uses drones to take pictures of events such as the commencement speech at graduation, as well as aerial photographs of campus. from front
“The problem is if all of a sudden we are using unmanned aerial vehicles and hundreds, if not thousands, of them, in a relatively congested area, say an urban setting, flying around deliveries for Amazon, Zappos or for fast-food restaurants, how do you prevent them from crashing into each other, causing more problems?” assistant professor of political science Keith Grant said. “If we need to regulate commercial aviation airlines in this manner, how are we going to do that at such a smaller level with drones?” Logistical concerns loom ahead for anyone trying to use drones. Yet privacy concerns are currently driving the debate on drone use. Right now there is no set of laws dictating where a private citizen, or the government, can fly their drones. The FAA’s policies have yet to catch up to the explosion in the commercial drone market. Right now, the regulations prohibit drones from being flown higher than 400 feet or within a half mile from an airport. According to FAA regulations, private photographers are not able to use drones to take pictures. If they do, they can’t sell the photos they take with them.

This is why the NRT LLC, a national realty holdings company, is under scrutiny by the FAA for its commercial use of these photos. The limits set by the FAA could severely inhibit growth for the commercial sector of drones. JMU’s university photographer Mike Miriello believes that those who aren’t operating drones correctly are giving other drone flyers a bad name. Currently, the JMU’s University Marketing Photography Department uses a drone to take overhead photos. Miriello said the photography team operates the craft safely, following FAA guidelines. You can see the drone flying overhead during the commencement speech during graduation, or taking aerial shots of campus. He explained that those who are using them for commercial purposes have more of an incentive to operate them safely because otherwise they would lose business. “So I would argue that people who are using them for corporate, or commercial purposes have an incentive to fly safer than a hobbyist that has no experience and thinks it is a toy to them, where it is a business tool to someone who does corporate work,” Mirello said. contact Chris Kent at kent2cm@dukes.jmu.edu.

Bodkin | Former director to be honored in Arboretum on Oct. 25
lauren gordon / the breeze
The Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, was Norlyn Bodkin’s idea and stands today as a haven for students and community members to admire nature’s beauty. from front
“[Bodkin] had a vision for an arboretum here and worked diligently and for many years and spent long hours after teaching at his full-time job to create it, care for it, and share it with others,” Mahon said. Mark Thompson, a ’90 JMU alumnus, was one of Bodkin’s students. He remembers Bodkin advocating for the Arboretum and finally getting it approved through the administration. “I’ll never forget — I remember digging up plants on these [field] trips and planting them in the Arboretum. And so, the legacy of the Arboretum will last as forever, as long James Madison [University] is around,” Thompson said. “And to me, he was the one who was primarily responsible for making that happen.”
“[Bodkin] had a vision for an arboretum here and worked diligently and for many years and spent long hours after teaching at his full-time job to create it, care for it, and share it with others” Jan Mahon
Director of the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum
Thompson, who graduated with a biology degree with a botany focus, had many classes with Bodkin; he remembers the emphasis Bodkin placed on learning outside the classroom, having gone on several class trips to wetlands,
national forests and one trip to Washington, D.C. “Learning can be done in a classroom, but it also can be done in real life,” Thompson said. “He would take us off campus and knew in his mind we could learn as much, if not more, by jumping in the van and going out to Cranberry Forest in West Virginia and Reddish Knob.” Another student inspired by Bodkin’s teaching was Becky Bartells, a ’93 JMU alumna who attributed her switch from medical biology to botanical biology to the time she spent learning from Bodkin. Bartells said she remained in contact with Bodkin following her graduation from JMU, and will never forget his influence. “I can’t walk into the woods without thinking about him,” Bartells said. Bodkin’s interest in forests was honored in 1998 when the Arboretum established The Norlyn L. Bodkin Oak-Hickory Forest in his name. According to Mahon, the forest epitomized his love for nature and natural environments. Additionally, the Norlyn L. Bodkin Scholarship for Arboretum and Botanical Field Studies was established in 2006, in honor of Bodkin’s work with the Arboretum. Bodkin’s memorial service will be held in the Arboretum on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 2 p.m. Many believe that this is the best way to remember the life he led. “It’s a perfect fit for him ... a great way to pay tribute to the man who showed up at Madison College with a vision and didn’t stop promoting his proposal until he got a ‘yes’ from the university,” Mahon said. “I don’t think that he was a particularly religious person, and the Arboretum was where he found his solace and offered his botanical passions, so it is a great way to honor and remember him.” contact Erin Flynn and William Mason at breezenews@gmail.com.

The first day of class can be a real struggle. When looking for a seat, trying to a find familiar face is an awkward and difficult task. But, if you think like me and you don’t see anyone you know, you don’t panic. Instead, you give everyone in the class a quick, stealthy once-over and confidently sit down next to the hottest guy (or gal) you can find. Now, this may sound shallow, but let me explain to you why this could very well be the best decision you’ll make all semester. If you sit down next to someone with potential, then you are more inclined to develop a “class crush.” What’s a class crush? It’s exactly what it sounds like — it’s that special someone you can’t help but admire because they’re so much more appealing than whatever class you’re enrolled in. I know it sounds nerve-wracking and ridiculous to spontaneously pick your seat based on looks and first impressions, but I assure you, a class crush is actually an awesome thing to have. Not only do they keep you preoccupied during class time, but they actually motivate you to go class. Take Adam Bush (whose name was changed for anonymity), junior social work major, for example. Adam had a “massive” crush on a girl, Gaby, in his American history class at Northern Virginia Community College last semester. “It was hard not to notice her, considering she sat down next to me on the first day of class,” Adam said. “She was so beautiful, I kept wondering why she sat down next to me. I tried to play it cool but I just couldn’t stop looking at her out of the corner of my eye. ” Gaby’s next move made Adam notice her. Whether she sat there on purpose or not is beside the point. All she did was take her seat and BOOM — an instant class crush relationship was formed. Adam shook his head and continued on, “I really should have made a move, but I didn’t. I was probably too intimidated.” The single most important rule about class crushes is to not be scared. Embrace the idea of meeting someone new. Just because it’s a weekday and you’re (probably) sober doesn’t mean that you can’t put yourself out there. With six weeks already behind us, I’m certain that everybody has at least one crush. Ellen Kirtner, a junior media arts and design and communication studies double major, admitted, “I have a class crush in every single one of my classes this year.” Having multiple class crushes is a prime example of being aware of your surroundings and perfectly explains the old saying, “you never know who you’re going to run into.” “I even have a bus crush,” said Kirtner. “We just happen to have the same bus schedule and he looks like a young man I would like to pursue.” If you think you don’t have a class (or bus) crush, you must not be paying attention. Look around you and see who else has wandering eyes. But, pretty please promise not to stare. We’re talking about class crushes, not class creeps.

Last on that checklist — aside from a horrendous group text message — is a group study room. Those, however, seem to be hard to come by anymore. I was in Carrier Library on Tuesday looking for a place to do a 17-page group assignment with two classmates, but it took a 20-minute scavenger hunt to figure out that they were all taken. Normally, that wouldn’t be an issue. This school has been low on things like study rooms and parking spaces ever since we delusionally decided to become the next big southern state school. The difference this time around was that every single room and large table had just one student sitting in it. Does no one understand that “group” means more than one person? The rooms are sectioned off in order for multiple people to communicate with each other without disturbing other students. If you want an entire room to yourself for studying, I’m fairly sure you have either an overpriced dorm room or an overpriced apartment bedroom that would work just fine. The same goes for tables. The three other seats are not for your anatomy and physiology textbooks. They are for

other people to do their work. Technically you’re allowed to “kick someone out” of the room, and it’s not exactly hard to say, “Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?” But I don’t want to be the rude guy who made someone leave their study area, and I’m sure no one else does, either.
If you want an entire room to yourself for studying, I’m fairly sure you have either an overpriced dorm room or an overpriced apartment bedroom that would work just fine.
Just do everyone a favor and follow the rules. Read a sign and determine whether the area is meant for you to put in headphones alone or an actual group. I may not want to practice my group speech, but at least give me the room to do it. Corey Tierney is a senior media arts and design major. Contact Corey at breezeopinion@gmail.com.

recommendation(s) of the week Marta Vucci | The Breeze
Movie: ‘Frances Ha’ (2012) “I’m so embarrassed, I’m not a real person yet,” blushes Greta Gerwig as Frances Hallaway, an awkward 27-year-old who just realized she can’t pay for the dinner date she initiated. These moments of relatable awkwardness litter the script of “Frances Ha,” a late self-discovery film shot entirely in black and white by independent film director Noah Baumbach. Gerwig collaborated with Baumbach to write the storyline for her Golden-globe nominated leading character, Frances, an aspiring dancer living in Brooklyn with her best friend/soulmate, Sophie (Mickey Sumner). Frances has never really had it “together,” but she has never been alone. She and Sophie have been attached at the hip until Sophie’s relationship with her boyfriend and decision to “grow up” creates a divide between them. This throws Frances into a whole new level of unbalanced — she has no choice but to set out on a quirky, seemingly desperate and sometimes painfully awkward quest to define herself as a person. She encounters other struggling 20-somethings, including promiscuous rich boy Lev (Adam Driver from HBO’s “Girls”), and adorable, aspiring playwright Benji (Michael Zegen from FX’s “Rescue Me”), who eventually become her new roommates. Soon enough, Lev and Benji also begin moving forward with their lives, leaving Frances even more alone. The film focuses mostly on her attempts at navigating through uncomfortable dinner parties, lonely trips to Paris and undesirable jobs, but her frequent interactions with the other characters on their own journeys reveal they are not as happy as she thought. The brilliance in “Frances Ha” is that it’s an honest reminder of the fact that life isn’t easy for everyone — while you’re individually developing into a “real person” at your own pace, everyone around you is doing it too. The characters deliver a real portrayal of what it’s like for the average 20-something trying to find their place and person in this world.

Live from New York, it’s ... eh. The 40th season premiere of ‘Saturday Night Live’ disappoints, loses its spark

On Wednesday, local vendors from the Harrisonburg Farmers Market gathered on the Warren Patio from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to sell their goods to students, who could purchase them with Flex, Dining Dollars or cash. Vendors sold a variety of goods including flowers, fresh vegetables, pumpkins, bread, kettle corn and a variety of jams. TOP Wesley Deaver, a senior biology major, buys bread from Staff of Life Bread Company. LEFT Kenzie Williams, a junior writing, rhetoric and technical communication major, buys flowers at the market. RIGHT Danielle Guirgis, a sophomore pre-physician assistant with a psychology major buys pumpkins from a vendor.
SNL’s executive producer Lorne Michaels has talked about the show being in a “transition period” for years now, and after Saturday’s 40th season premiere, it’s clear they still haven’t made any headway. It wasn’t all bad, though. Some sketches stood out among the weak and cheap ideas. A notable example was guest host Chris Pratt and Aidy Bryant attempting to flirt, but instead rapping Nicki Minaj and Drakeinspired lyrics. It started to border on that cheap feel, but Aidy Bryant practically screaming “My BIG FAT ASS” to the tune of “Anaconda” still got a laugh out of me. I’m only human, after all. I’m also proud to see them poking fun at the NFL’s terrible handling of the domestic abuse controversy. They featured an NFL player lineup where each of them mentioned their criminal offenses instead of their colleges. Candidly (and successfully) taking on topical issues is what’s made this show such a classic. Aside from the awful — and I do mean terrible — sketches that included toys (Pratt and Taran Killam) coming to life and learning that touching their crotches “feels good,” the beloved Weekend Update segment has officially been thrown to the dogs. Michael Che (who?) has replaced Cecily Strong, and I already miss her presence as an anchor. Her comedic timing was untouchable, and while she left voluntarily, the male duo of Che and Colin Jost (again, who?) aren’t funny. Apart from almost every joke touching on race — because adding two black cast members for the first time in years apparently calls for endless racial humor — it’s also incredibly offensive. “Comedian” Pete Davidson (“Guy Code”) has already, out the gate, made his first on-screen appearance a homophobic rant, where he explained how much money it would take for him to “go down on a guy.” There was a bright side to this fallen star of a segment, though. Leslie Jones is a writer on the show, but has appeared twice now as a “relationship expert.” She also appeared see SNL, page 10

and drop new banners or profile pictures into place. “I was excited to be invited on Ello,” Matt McKeon, a 2013 business management alumnus, said. “It works because people feel special that they are included; it’s hard to pull off but Ello is doing it well.” Ello is a hybrid of Tumblr and Twitter and has coined the term “the anti-Facebook.” It goes against everything Facebook is by promising users to never sell their information and focusing on a clean, uncluttered minimalist design. “It’s fresh,” McKeon said. “I like the no ads idea and the design is very simple once you understand how to navigate the page. I’m a huge fan of the visual aspect of this social platform.” But Ello needs more than the elimination of annoying updates to get a larger audience interested. “On Facebook most people have a thousand friends, Ello is going to have to offer something damn good to entice people to rebuild their friend network,” Chris Ashley, sophomore business management major, said. Ello has been in beta mode since its launch in March, raising $435,000 in venture capital funding from Vermont-based FreshTracks Capital. As a for-profit company, Ello hopes to gain revenue by offering free features such as emojis designed by famous street artists. “I think something like this is going to appeal a lot to hipsters,” Ashley said. “It’s an underground social culture they’re trying to create. It reminds me of Reddit because if you’re not participating, you won’t know anything about it.” Sophomore computer science major Jack O’Neill seemed uncertain as to why Ello is open for beta testing, considering the list of updates, improvements and add-ons is much larger than the current available features. “On the first use there are a lot of bugs,” O’Neill said. “Everywhere you click something doesn’t work the way you thought it would work, or it doesn’t work at all. It’s kind of boring in a sense, because there’s just not much going on.” Ello is creating a buzz, but the question is, how long will it last? “Unless they introduce some magic to it to retain users, some groundbreaking concept that hasn’t been applied yet, they will pick up users in this initial burst, but people need something to keep them coming back,” Ashley said.

Pop goes the art show One-day-only art exhibit aims to raise money for MACROCK
SNL | A ‘transition’ is OK, but it’s meant to be temporary from 9
JAMES CHUNG / THE BREEZE
Senior art history major Caty Mealy and senior English and media arts and design double major Landon Walker hang pieces for the show that will be held in the Orange Chair Collective tomorrow night from 4 to 8 p.m. Artists will be selling their work to raise funds. By KELLY CARLIN AND MOLLY RYAN contributing writers
Oktoberfest can move over, because MACROCKTOBER has made its way to Harrisonburg. On Friday, Oct. 3, MACROCK is kicking off MACROCKTOBER with the Pop In Art Exhibit at Orange Chair Collective in downtown Harrisonburg. The exhibit is a collaborative fundraising effort between MACROCK and Orange Chair Collective that will showcase local artists and different art mediums in an alternative space. Among the art vendors is Orange Chair Collective co-founder and former MACROCK artist Derek Niver (‘13), who specializes in screen printing. Niver has been preparing his art for the show, and will be selling special edition prints from MACROCK’s previous years. In addition to these prints, Niver has experimented with intricate handmade wood pieces. “It always feels good when someone buys your art and walks away with it, but it’s even better for them to just see it and appreciate it,” Niver said. “Both Orange Chair Collective and MACROCK were started on D.I.Y. principles and exist not to profit off of people, but to bring events to the community.” Many young artists don’t often get the opportunity to display their work, but the Pop In Art Exhibit gives them a chance to do so. The exhibit, on display for one day only, is a MACROCK fundraiser featuring local artists, including Niver and others from the Orange Chair Collective. S enior graphic design major Christian Brown is another artist participating in the show. He will be selling his work and showcasing his first screen print, a piece he recently finished in class. “[The print] is a depiction of the log cabin I grew up in, here in the Blue Ridge,” Brown said. “My artwork
usually tends to be dark, minimal and conceptual, so with my screen printing class this semester, to get away from all of my graphic design classes, I really wanted to stray out of my comfort zone and do something fun, lighthearted, and colorful.” Niver and Brown are just two of many local artists who will be showcased. The artists will be selling work in different mediums including paintings, screen prints and drawings of all canvas sizes.

“What’s unique about this pop-up art show is the level of collaboration between local businesses, artists and bands,” Caty Mealy, senior art history major, MACROCK committee member and curator of the exhibit, said. “The main intention with this project was to create a fusion of art and music all in one space that would leave a lasting impression on the community.” Senior media and arts and design major and MACROCK director Mary Menchel has been working to strengthen ties between local music and art in Harrisonburg. MACROCK is a nonprofit organization and, due to budget issues over the past few years, has been forced to cut many of its art-related panels. The committee is now working to rebuild the artistic side of the festival, with this exhibit as its first event of
the year. “We feature local artists at the Label Exposition each year and work closely with the Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance and Arts Council of the Valley,” Menchel said. “Our goal [with the exhibit] is to bring art and music closer together and to get art back into the MACROCK name.” MACROCK’s untraditional one-day exhibit will help sustain MACROCK as a cultural institution in the Harrisonburg community. MACROCK will use the money from the art sales for booking bands and orchestrating the festival in April. The show coincides with Harrisonburg’s First Fridays Downtown art crawl tour, created by the Arts Council of the Valley. “MACROCK is a really special event that’s been happening for almost 18 years now,” Menchel said. “Every first weekend in April it brings together downtown Harrisonburg for a festival that celebrates independent music and the D.I.Y. community.” The MACROCK committee is hopeful and excited to see the turnout at the exhibit. It’s just one of many events throughout the year that MACROCK holds annually in order to raise money and spread word about the festival. “Events like this are great for the community because not only do art and music bring people together, but you’re supporting your town and giving back to the artists in your own community,” Mealy said. “You’re supporting your backyard, your neighborhood, your people.” The Pop In Art exhibit will be on display on Oct. 3 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Orange Chair Collective in downtown Harrisonburg. There will be refreshments donated by WXJM, a live performance from local band Zooanzoo and hooping performances by members of Free Flow Club.

in the NFL lineup as, “The wife who hit him back,” and in one line, made the whole sketch worthwhile. It makes me wonder: why is she behind the scenes? Her perspective as a female woman of color would be a bonus, especially since featured player and University of Virginia alumna Sasheer Zamata has yet to prove herself on air. Overall I fear for the segment, and really the whole show in general. But why is this happening? When did we go from a solid cast of geniuses to a weekday Laugh Factory lineup? One glaring issue is casting. Swapping out a third of the players after each season doesn’t seem like a foolproof plan to me, but then again, who am I? I’m only one of the show’s few remaining followers in the millennial generation, a.k.a. the driving force for modern television. But that’s fine, don’t listen to me. Or anyone for that matter. The biggest issue, however, is the lack of character in recent casts. Huge eras of personality stand out to anyone who’s at least mildly familiar with the franchise. Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Gilda Radner and Jane Curtin became comedy gods and goddesses when they ushered in the show’s first few seasons. Most comedians today reference them as inspirations, and many of their sketches are still relevant 40 years later. Who doesn’t know Aykroyd and Martin’s “two wild and craaaaazy guys?” Casts in the ’80s that included Mike Myers, Chris Farley, David Spade and Julia Louis-Dreyfus brought SNL into the mainstream, making it an “American Idol” of its time — something that friends and family got together to enjoy. Skits like “Living in a VAN down by the RIVER” are beyond iconic, and others, like “Wayne’s World,” became successful feature films. Then came the ladies. Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Molly Shannon, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch and countless others solidified this show’s place in history. More than just actors, these women were role models; they mainstreamed female-led comedy and brazenly proved that late night is not just a men’s club. Not to mention that I could write you a 5,000word column on all of their legendary skits. Nowadays, we have close to no one. Bobby Moynihan, Kenan Thompson and Vanessa Bayer are still hanging on as those straggler freshmen who hung out with the cool seniors — but they’ve done nothing post-graduation. They haven’t developed themselves into someone’s favorite cast member. They just go through the motions and take advantage of their tenure. Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Taran Killam and Cecily Strong are bleeding with talent, but the writing has become sub-par, and the star system of SNL seems to be on its last leg. I don’t think it’s a lost cause, though. Lorne Michaels and company just need to find the stars and actually commit to them. Half of the featured players got canned last year after one season because they were never used. Brooks Wheelan appeared in less than 20 sketches, and a few of them were as himself. A “transition” is OK, but it’s meant to be temporary. You can’t build a star cast without time. Once they ditch the losers and warm up the newbies, we might just have a new era to look forward to.

Husband and wife coaching duo takes over women’s tennis team By Robert williams contributing writer
After almost four decades, JMU women’s tennis has a new face at the head of the program. Head coach James Bryce was hired to replace former head coach Maria Malerba in June. Malerba was the head coach of the program for 38 years before her retirement in the spring. However, JMU got not one Bryce, but two. Bryce is joined by his wife Erin Bryce, the first-year assistant coach of the women’s tennis program. “It’s an interesting dynamic because we are married,” Erin said. “So, I think we work very well together. We kind of complement each other’s differences, but we have the same goal in mind ultimately. We’re very compatible.” Before he was a member of any coaching staff, Bryce was swinging his own racket at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. There, he played four years, receiving Most Improved Player honors his first season. He graduated in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in education. After college, Bryce held a number of coaching positions at multiple schools before finally landing in the Shenandoah Valley. He coached one season at Samford, two seasons at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia, four seasons at Saint Leo University in St. Leo, Florida and one season at Mississippi State University. Prior to accepting the assistant coaching job at JMU, Erin served as a volunteer assistant coach at Saint Leo and Mississippi State alongside her husband.

The sport itself has brought the couple closer together. Erin played tennis at the University of Tampa. “I think our love for the sport is so deep-rooted,” Bryce said. “I mean, we met in tennis ... So, we were already in love with the game, and we’re definitely pursuing our passions respectively by doing what we do. We can’t get rid of it. We try to go home and talk about our personal stuff, but we just continue on with tennis.”

... You have to kind of move around early in your career to get where you want to be. And we’re there now. James Bryce women’s tennis head coach
”
At his previous stops, Bryce led nine separate teams from three different schools to NCAA tournament appearances. Bryce said his previous experience has prepared him for the upcoming competition. But no matter what coaching position he’s had, assistant or head, his attitude towards the game remains the same. “It’s been very refreshing, actually,” Bryce said. “Being
a head coach for four years down in Florida was fantastic, my first head coaching job. Going to Mississippi State, the [Southeastern Conference] is obviously a fantastic conference as well. It’s given me even more of a positive outlook on my career. It’s really enjoyable.” At JMU, the goals for the near future are to compete in a conference championship, focus on the energy as a team and be nationally ranked. But the coaching can get stressful, especially with all of the traveling the Bryce’s have done. The couple loves the chance to decompress by relaxing and hanging out with their two dogs, a labrador and a French bulldog. “I don’t want to move around a lot,” Bryce said. “It’s not my plan for my career, but you have to kind of move around early in your career to get where you want to be. And we’re there now.” The players are already adjusting to Bryce and understand his objectives. A week and a half ago, JMU opened the fall season by winning four flight championships at the Bill & Sandra Moore Invitational in Annapolis, Maryland. “He’s got a lot of experience with some high-level teams and he’s really bringing that level of energy and professionalism to this team,” sophomore Rebecca Harris said. “I think it’s going to help us really succeed and go far this year.” This weekend, the Dukes continue the fall season with the Hokie Fall Invite at Virginia Tech. Play begins Friday and continues through Sunday. Contact Robert Williams at willi2rj@dukes.jmu.edu.

Let’s talk about #RE2PECT Real heroes lie beneath the numbers, both nationally and locally
ESPN host Keith Olbermann missed the point. In his late-September rant against Derek Jeter’s lengthy farewell tour, he missed a key element of sports we must hold on to: class. “Contrary to what you have heard, Derek Jeter is not the greatest person in human history,” Olbermann said on his self-titled show. All he could do was spit out statistics on offensive production, wins above replacement and MVP titles. Olbermann most likely gathered little to none of these numbers himself and to add to it, they’re just numbers. That’s why, in this week’s column, I won’t provide you with any statistics besides the number seven — as in the seven minutes I wasted listening to Olbermann, whose attempt to be humorous was comical. In his tangent he denounced the important qualities Jeter brought to baseball: class, character and integrity. Jeter has never been accused of performance enhancing drugs or criminal activity. “Objects in side view mirror may actually be smaller than they appear,” Olbermann said alluding to Jeter’s importance. This is the crux of peoples’ disconnect with sports today. People have lost touch with what’s really important, and it’s not the numbers. I’m distraught with the current overall nature of
sports, consistently reading articles of crime and cheating involving athletes. It leaves a fan wondering about which of their idols they can trust. With Jeter, all you had to wonder was which celebrity he was dating at that moment. Class is easy to detect, but harder to find these days. From a local and personal perspective, I immediately thought of one man and one man only — JMU baseball coach Spanky McFarland, who has preached character to his team for almost four decades now. “Wow, I’m honored that you would mention me in the same article as [Jeter],” he told me over the phone on Wednesday. McFarland announced last week that he will be retiring after this season. He’s comfortable with his decision, stating his desire to travel and try new things with his wife, Deb. “I feel like God is going to put us where he needs us,” McFarland said. “We’re just going to serve.” I’ve interviewed countless players over the years who are constantly in awe of McFarland’s desire to instill life skills in them. “I’ve been very blessed to have good parents and good role models,” he said. “Those are things you learn and have to work at. I’m very thankful if that’s how I’m remembered.” For him, results on the field have always taken a backseat to success in life. “You can win and still have character, integrity and honor,”
he said. He’s worried though. And so am I, for similar reasons. McFarland’s worried about how much time he gets to spend with his players. Per NCAA rules, he can only spend 20 hours per week with them. He said it’s detrimental to building character and aiding in on-field performance. “I’d be willing to bet the kids get in more trouble now than they used to because they’re not with their coaches, they’re not with their teams,” McFarland said. “If this keeps up, what’s going to happen?” For me, it’s the lack of value placed on the Jeter’s and the McFarland’s — remaining too caught up in the numbers and too far away from the person behind the uniform. “I am teaching as much as I can,” McFarland said. “About baseball and about life. This is my last opportunity with these particular guys. I’m just trying to give them everything I’ve learned over the years and force feed it down. Hopefully some of it will stick and they can leave here having learned from me and maybe kick butt in the real world.” Jeter retires as one of baseball’s biggest role models to Olbermann’s chagrin. Spanky McFarland too will retire as a class act in a world of uncertainty. Stephen Proffitt is a senior media arts and design major. Contact Stephen at proffittjs@gmail.com.

A season on the ropes
With a bad start to conference play, the Dukes need a win in Albany to keep their playoff hopes alive
James Chung / the breeze
Redshirt junior quarterback Vad Lee fires off a pass in the Dukes’ overtime loss to the University of Delaware last Saturday. JMU will travel to Albany, N.Y. this Saturday to take on the undefeated Great Danes. By richie bozek The Breeze
Last Saturday at Bridgeforth Stadium, JMU football suffered an overtime loss to conference rival University of Delaware, 30-23. The Dukes will travel to the University at Albany in New York this weekend, hoping to snap a two-game losing streak. Here are a few of the top storylines in this week’s edition of Four Downs of the Week.
1. Stepping up conference play JMU will be heading up to Albany searching for its first conference win of the 2014 campaign. Granted, it’s still early in the conference schedule, but the Dukes sit in last place in the conference standings after falling winless in their first two Colonial Athletic Association contests against Villanova University and Delaware. The Dukes will be visiting an Albany team that is a 4-0 so far this season. The Great Danes are also 1-0 in CAA play, after defeating the University of Rhode Island in the third game of their season. Albany will also be the third nationally ranked opponent that the Dukes have faced in as many weeks. The Great Danes notched a spot in The Sports Network’s Top 25 Poll, entering the game ranked No. 23 in the Football Championship Subdivision.
2. Battle on the ground Saturday’s matchup will feature a showdown between two of the top units in the CAA: the run offense of JMU versus the run defense of Albany. Albany’s run defense has been the epitome of lockdown up to this point in the season. Through four games, the Great Danes have only allowed their opponents to gain a mere 72 yards per game on the ground, and have allowed only three rushing touchdowns through four games. The Dukes, on the other hand, have also made a name for themselves this season on the ground. They are currently second in the CAA, averaging 244 yards a game running the ball. “[Albany is] very well coached and they are extremely disciplined, so we are going to have to bring our A-game,” offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer said. “We’re really excited about the matchup.”
Much like how JMU head coach Everett Withers can bring defensive expertise to the table, Albany head coach Greg Gattuso can as well. Gattuso is in his first year as Albany’s head coach, coming from University of Maryland, where he was the defensive line coach. The Dukes have continuously proven their depth in the running back position this year as five different running backs have had touches on the ball. Sophomore Khalid Abdullah returned from injury against Delaware and has run for 226 yards in the three games he’s played in this year. Freshman Taylor Woods saw his first major action of the year down the stretch against Delaware and contributed 43 yards on 10 carries. Redshirt senior Jauan Latney and freshman John Miller stepped up when Abdullah was injured and are averaging 7.3 and 4.8 yards a carry respectively. However, both were injured for the Delaware contest but Withers is hopeful that they will be back on the field against Albany. Other notable offensive injuries include starting redshirt senior center Matt Williams and sophomore wide receiver Rashard Davis, both of whom left during Saturday’s game. Withers expects Williams to play but says Davis is questionable. Redshirt freshman Alden Hill has also contributed this year and was the primary go-to on the ground against Villanova. However, the Dukes’ leading rusher is still redshirt junior quarterback Vad Lee, who is averaging 5.1 yards a carry and 427 total net yards on the season.
3. Defending against mistakes Self–inflicting wounds is a term that Withers coined this year to describe unforced mistakes that come back to hurt the team. It could be said that in last Saturday’s game against Delaware, there were more crucial mistakes than any other: a missed extra point, a blocked field goal, a dropped touchdown pass in an empty field and consecutive offsides on a kickoff. The defense also let up two huge scoring plays in the game; the first one a 75-yard touchdown reception on the very first play of the game, and another 86-yard touchdown reception later in the game. Withers said it’s about more reps, maturity and getting things right in practice when it comes to fixing these. “It’s like your ABC’s; if you do it long enough you’re going to
know it like the back of your hand,” senior defensive lineman Sage Harold said on not only physical reps, but mental reps such watching film. Withers and Harold also feel that the Dukes’ defense has been starting to head in the right direction. The Dukes showed some improvement in their run defense against Delaware, which has struggled plenty this year. JMU is 10th in the league in rushing defense allowing 251.6 yards a game, but gave up only 168 against Delaware. “Every week the No. 1 game plan is to stop the run,” Harold said. Redshirt senior running back Omar Osbourne is the face of the ground game for the Great Danes, averaging 135 rushing yards per game. While the defense may be starting to take leaps forward, the Dukes find themselves 11th in the league in yards allowed per game and have conceded the most touchdowns (25). “We got to pick it up all the way around,” Harold said. “We are way better than what we show on game day, we just still trying to find a way to put it together.”
4. Balancing the offense Against Delaware, JMU seemed to effectively find a balance between the running game and the passing game, gaining 237 yards on the ground and 252 through the air. In the previous two games before this past weekend, JMU had been forced to heavily rely on one or the other to move down the field. “From day one we’ve wanted to be as balanced as we can,” Mehringer said. “We’ve put an emphasis on the run game and people have put a defensive emphasis on stopping it. We’ve shown we can throw the ball so we want to continue to be balanced.” In addition to the balance, the Dukes want to put more emphasis on and make the run game more effective than it already has been. “We want more yardage than what we had [against Delaware], we needed to be better running the ball in some areas,” Withers said. Kickoff for this Saturday’s game against Albany is at 6 p.m. Contact Richie Bozek at Bozekrj@dukes.jmu.edu.
handball | Open practices to be held 8 to 10 p.m. on Mondays at UREC from front
Upon approval, the club must fully fund itself for the first year before it can be eligible to receive funding from UREC. Meanwhile, handball is nowhere near as popular in the U.S. as it is in Europe, but the it’s catching on and is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. “It is really popular in Europe and I know the Olympics give it some good publicity, and the college handball world is starting to expand like dodgeball has,” Goldberg said. “Once these guys come out and play once, they are hooked. They want to come on out and keep playing. They love it. It is a really fun sport to play. I think that’s the main driving force behind the expansion.” Handball is a fast-paced game that has seven players on each side, including a goalie, trying to score a goal by throwing the ball into the net. The players are restricted to the number of steps they can take without dribbling and for how long they can hold a ball for. Offensive players are also not allowed in the opposing team’s zone, which is a six-yard safe zone for the goalie and defense. The game is high-scoring and 50 goals a match is normal, according to the United States Handball Association. While JMU’s coed team is in the process of becoming official, Goldberg is currently playing with friends and other guests. “I knew that I had the nine guys that played intramural with us,” Goldberg said. “They all were interested. This year, its kind of been spreading amongst our home friends from Virginia Beach, and they told their friends.” Goldberg and his friends played intramural handball as freshmen and developed a strong love for the game. David Cockerill, a sophomore marketing major, was one of those intramural players and is now another co-founder of the club. “We just loved intramural sports our freshman year,” Cockerill said. “We had a really fun time and we thought we were good at it, and we wanted to do something new that we love that we didn’t have here yet, and me and my close group of friends just put it together.” The trio of Cockerill, Goldberg and sophomore finance major Tanner Weaver will co-found the club together. They want many people to come and practice along with them and hopefully attempt to try
out for the team. “Everyone is welcome,” Weaver said. “None of us have ever played [club handball] before. This is the first time any of us have played before, so anyone has as much experience as us, so anyone is welcome to come play with us.” The team holds its open practices from 8 to 10 p.m. on Mondays at UREC. Once the club becomes official, tryouts will be held in the spring. “We are going to teach the game properly and have a couple days of tryouts, so they can have time to figure out the rules, so they don’t just have one day to show their talents,” Cockerill said. The team expects anywhere from between 50 to 100 people to try out for the team, and around 25 to 35 players to make it. An executive board will be created to determine who makes the team as well as a coach or coaching committee. “We’ll probably just get around, try to do some drills just to see how people’s natural instincts are, and then probably play back and forth five-on-five games and see who’s good,” Weaver said. Until tryouts, students are welcome to come play along and possibly develop an interest in the sport. After tryouts occur and cuts are made, the team will create two levels of teams. “[The] A-team will be 12 to 15, and then we are going to have a B-team with about the same number of people, so about 30 to 35 people on the team,” Weaver said. Although the creating and running of the team requires a bit of effort, it has been a fun and adventurous journey for the founders. “It’s actually really fun to be like an entrepreneur creating a business starting from scratch, doing everything yourself,” Weaver said. “It’s good to like to feel like starting something, and getting people to follow you and join you.” The United States Handball Association also requires registration from the JMU handball team in order to compete, mostly in tournaments against other schools such as: Auburn University, Miami University (Ohio), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Virginia and more. JMU’s handball team feels confident they can compete as soon as they get on the court. “I think that we are really good,” Goldberg said. “We really have some athletes out here. I think that if we can get a chance to compete in tournaments, I like our chances.” Contact Andre Haboush at habousaw@dukes.jmu.edu.
