Fifth-year senior Nick Keatts, 22, was a dedicated member of the cheerleading squad. “He was always representing JMU in some way, shape or form,” said teammate senior Lamar Walker.

By GEORGINA BUCKLEY The Breeze

Saturday’s death of fifth-year senior Nick Keatts, a member of the cheerleading squad, has left teammates reeling.

JMU cheerleading coach Kelly Moore said the team is mourning the loss of someone they thought of as a family member.

“To the guys, he was a big brother; to the girls, he was a big brother; and to me, he was like a son,” Moore said.

Moore said he was the most dedicated

a cheerLEADER In life and in death, senior Nick Keatts leaves behind an inspiring legacy

member on the team and always put  percent into everything he did.

Currently, the cause of death is unknown, and a police report wasn’t released at press time.

Fifth-year senior John Nguyen, a health sciences major and cheer squad member, was close to Keatts.

Nguyen said Keatts had been sick in the days preceding his death.

Keatts was a popular and beloved member of the cheerleading squad since his freshman year. Some of the student body will remember him as the cheerleader

who dressed up as the Joker during the  football season.

Senior Lamar Walker, a Spanish major and member of the cheerleading squad, said Keatts was one of the most spirited people he knew – and also one of the kindest. He said Keatts was always giving advice and would do anything to help his friends.

“He was always representing JMU in some way, shape or form,” Walker said.

Sixth-year senior Edward Rossi, a dietetics major and member of the squad, said loyalty was one of Keatts’ greatest

attributes.

“He’d ask me if I needed help even when I was too shy to ask,” Rossi said.

Walker remembers Keatts as the guy who would be smiling even if he was feeling down.

“He was one of the biggest supporters of the cheerleader squad being a family and bringing everyone together,” Walker said. “Even if that took him getting up in front of everyone and saying something which needed to be said, he’d do it.” see KEATTS, page A4

Senior remembered in candlelight vigil Faculty Senate frustrated with presidential search

By RACHEL DOZIER The Breeze

In , after the JMU football team defeated the College of William & Mary, Williamsburg resident Travis Simone decided he would never wear purple and gold again. But on Sunday night, this associate pastor stood outside of Wilson Hall and held a candle up to his purple-and-gold-striped tie for all to see.

Simone, the associate pastor of Kathryn “Katie” Mausteller’s church, the Williamsburg Community Chapel, said the closing prayer at the vigil held in Mausteller’s honor on the Quad.

The senior died Oct.  after a longboarding accident in North .

“After Katie’s passing and coming here, I just thought to myself, what a tremendous place and a tremendous student body and tremendous spirit about this place that you all would pause to reflect [on Mausteller’s life],” Simone said.

About  family members, friends, JMU faculty and community members came out to celebrate the life of this kinesiology and sport and recreation management double major.

Several faculty members spoke at the tribute, including Cara McFadden, who taught Mausteller in an introductory course last year.

“I think many of us always think that the faculty are here to teach the students, but it’s often the other way around,” McFadden said. “That’s how it was with Katie.”

Friends gathered at a candlelight vigil on the Quad yesterday in honor of senior Kathryn “Katie” Mausteller, who died on Oct. 10 after a longboarding accident.

The memorial began with a slideshow of photos of Mausteller posing with friends and family. The silence that filled Wilson Auditorium was occasionally broken by laughter prompted by photos of Mausteller posing with a variety of facial expressions and in eccentric costumes.

A common theme of the evening was Mausteller’s infectious personality. Julie Wallace Carr, a parent from the soccer team of -year-olds that Mausteller coached, said, “Rarely did I see Katie without a mischievous smile on her face. She connected with the kids immediately.”

Fernando Perez, a member of her band, Adam in America, talked about

“She was probably – even though I never really told her – an example to me of how to relate to people and how to have an easy spirit, but at the same time show love to everybody,” said her brother, Will Mausteller.

OPINION The debate goes on

Abortion opinions should be respected no matter what side they come from.

Faculty Senate spent the majority of their meeting on Thursday debating two motions, both of which disapproved of the presidential search process, which has been almost entirely confidential.

Don Egle, university spokesman, said the targeted selection date is sometime in January or February.

Robert Jerome, speaker for the Senate and member of the Search Committee, said he discussed the confidentiality of the search at the Faculty Senate of Virginia meeting on Oct.  — with not much progress.

“I brought it up at the State Senate meeting this Saturday and said we had this issue with confidential search and if they had any experience with it and, if so, what was it,” Jerome said. “The feeling was this is the way that these things are going to happen from now on.”

The days of transparent selection of college presidents, especially in institutions of JMU’s size, are probably over, according to Jerome.

Faculty Senate member and secretary David McGraw from the integrated science and technology department submitted a motion for consideration which stated, “While we recognize that there may be times in which candidate

JMU’s loss to the University of New Hampshire means it must win its last two games for playoff potential.

privacy is necessary to produce the optimal outcome in administrative searches, the Faculty Senate believes strongly in the principle of transparency in searches and adequate faculty involvement in the selection process.”

The Senate then debated the merits of the motion, specifically about whether it was worded strongly enough.

“No one wants to be confrontational, but at the same time, this is a process we are discussing — not an individual,” said senate member Cole Welter of the art and art history department.

Welter also submitted his own hypothetical faculty response to the Presidential Search Committee. The response was put together by Welter and faculty members from the art and art history department.

Welter said he was concerned about the lack of contact between the applicants and the faculty.

“I would have sincere concerns about an individual that didn’t want to meet us and would be scared away of having their anonymity stripped away and to have contact with us,” Welter said. >> Read the full story online at breezejmu.org.

FRESNO, Calif. — The family of Rod Fiorini, a Fresno Pacific University student killed in a police shooting last year, is suing the makers of the alcoholic energy drink Four Loko.

Brett and Pam Fiorini, are seeking damages for the wrongful death of their son.

The lawsuit was filed this week in Fresno County Superior Court by Fresno, Calif., attorney Bill Schmidt.

“They don’t believe anyone should profit from the sale of such a dangerous product,” Schmidt said.

The lawsuit alleges that Chicago-based Phusion Projects, maker of Four Loko, created a dangerous drink causing Fiorini’s strange and violent behavior that ultimately led to his death.

The lawsuit also names City

Brewing Company, which bottles Four Loko, Fresno distributor Donaghy Sales and SSS Chevron, the convenience store on Butler Avenue where Fiorini bought Four Loko hours before he became “irritated, agitated and disoriented” and fired a shotgun in his backyard, according to case documents.

Four Loko spokeswoman Caroline Friedman declined Friday to comment on the lawsuit but said the company would “defend all cases in the courts ... and we will do so vigorously.” A court date is targeted for March .

Florida-based attorney Don Van Dingenen is assisting Schmidt. Van Dingenen has eight cases against Four Loko, including the first lawsuit, which was brought by the family of a Florida State University student who died after binge drinking on Four Loko.

Sophomore Jason Keirnan became so drunk and manic after drinking Four Loko that he shot himself in the head with a friend’s gun, according to reports from the  incident.

Van Dingenen said Keirnan’s case, which is still

months from trial, will likely set the precedent for other cases, including the Fiorini case.

Four Loko enjoyed a brief stint of popularity on college campuses. Before it was reformulated in , it contained a potent mix of caffeine and alcohol.

It was dubbed “blackout in a can” after nine Central Washington University freshmen drank it and were hospitalized in October  — just days after Fiorini’s death.

In November , the Food and Drug Administration cracked down on Four Loko, threatening to ban the drink. In a warning letter, the FDA called the combination of stimulants, caffeine and alcohol unsafe and a public health threat.

Before to its reformulation, a .-ounce Four Loko contained the equivalent of . cans of beer and two cups of coffee. It also contained wormwood — a key ingredient in absinthe, a European liquor that is banned in the U.S. and reportedly can cause hallucinations.

Phusion kept the drink on store shelves by removing the caffeine and some chemicals.

Studies at JMU, Ohio State find students gain less than 10 pounds their first year

By Kelsey Beckett contributing writer

The “freshman 15” could be a fluke. A study to be published in December’s edition of Social Science Quarterly by Ohio State University Center researcher Jay Zagorsky quelled the notorious freshman 15 concept.

The study found on average during freshman year, women gain 2.4 pounds and men gain 3.4 pounds.

The data was collected from 7,000 teenagers in 1997, and their weights were reported each year. The study also found that students gain weight over time throughout college; on average, women put on 6.5 pounds and men gained 12.1 pounds.

Dietetics professor Patricia Brevard and health sciences professor Melissa Rittenhouse conducted a study on weight gain in 2010 that surveyed 365 students, 140 of which reported an average weight gain of 9.4 pounds with a variation of plus or minus 4.1 pounds.

Even though some students gained only a few pounds, there were some outlying cases.

“There have been some people who gain 25 pounds,” Brevard said.

Lack of exercise and a poor diet are a few contributors to this weight increase, Brevard said. She suggests that staying physically fit, eating healthy and sticking to food low in fat all help keep the extra weight away.

Brevard’s study also found that some students actually lost weight during their freshman year in an effort to avoid gaining the freshman 15.

Brevard’s study used a different method to get the same result.

“We used medical scales to check each student’s weight for precision,” Brevard said. “The Ohio State University study was based upon the students self reporting their weight changes.”

Nina Borras, a sophomore communication sciences and disorders major said she lost weight during her freshman year.

“I was concerned about gaining the freshman 15, and I went to the gym. I ended up losing about six pounds,” Borras said.

Brevard said that some students, instead of exercising and eating healthy, decide to crash diet or completely cut calories to keep the weight off.

“One of the things that is hard for most people to understand is that weight doesn’t come

on overnight, so weight doesn’t come off overnight, either,” Brevard said. “Losing weight quickly is fluid, not fat. If you lose weight this way and regain it, it could come back as more weight.”

Rachel Napoli, a freshman nursing major, said she controls her weight.

“As long as you keep your drinking under control, and you try to stay fit, you should be fine,” Napoli said. “I’ve also heard walking around campus helps you out.”

Holly Bailey, UREC’s coordinator of fitness and nutrition, confirmed that stress could be one of the many factors contributing to weight gain.

“The first year away from home is stressful. If students combat stress with food and inactivity, weight gain is possible,” Bailey said. “Also, lower activity levels and increased alcohol intake help pack on the pounds.”

Brevard reccommends that students stay active and watch what they eat and drink in order to combat weight gain.

Students build faster composter for E-Hall

By Sean Byrne contributing writer

A group of six senior engineering majors are working not only to help save JMU Dining Services money and time, but also to help the environment.

For the past year and a half, Robert McCloud, Timothy Brooks, Jack Cash, Kent Graham and Connor Heede have been working on a way to better dispose of food waste produced by E-Hall as part of their two-year capstone project.

“Composting is a technology that has been used before across the country but never here at JMU,” Cash said.

The group designed and built a large composter, which can turn up to 100 pounds of food waste into humus, decomposed organic material, in one to two weeks.

The process would work by dispensing the waste in the barrel, where microorganisms and occasional turning of the waste would turn it into humus.

The normal composting process can take up to three months, according to the University of Illinois Extension at Urbana Champaign, a program in the university that teaches the technology to farmers in that area.

Currently, JMU trucks its waste to a farm in Roanoke, where some of it’s composted. The rest ends up sitting in landfills, Graham said.

“It doesn’t make sense from a carbon footprint standpoint to use that much fuel to do it,” Graham said. “Onsite makes it more environmentally sound.”

During the project, the group was awarded the People, Prosperity and the Planet grant from the Environmental Protection Agency, worth $15,000, according to the EPA website.

This allowed the students to buy better equipment for better research. The men applied for the grant in December 2010, and received it this summer.

“The P3 grant was a big spark; JMU only gives us $500 a year,” Graham said.

“It gave us a lot more room to make it better. Data acquisition equipment costs $2,000 to measure temperature, humidity and the climate.”

Figuring out what would help JMU the most was carefully thought out.

“The main research surrounded the biological process,” Graham said.

“We had to decide from a sustainability perspective what the most efficient process was and the most cost effective.”

Engineering professors Adebayo

COURTESY OF JACK CASH

Six engineering majors designed a composter that can turn 100 pounds of food waste into organic compost within two weeks. The project, which should be finished by spring, was funded by a $15,000 Enivronmental Protection Agency grant.

Ogundipe and Robert Nagel are the advisers of the project.

“What we do is provide them with technical guidance and a little bit of project management guidance,” Ogundipe said. “They go out there and get the design assessment. We ask the

questions.”

Ogundipe, along with few other professors around the country, came up with the idea for the capstone project while teaching at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey.

“The idea was to have a composter

that could handle that volume, that would compose that reaction to occur much faster than it normally would,” Ogundipe said.

As the project nears its end, the men will get Excel Steel, a local company, to build the shaft that mixes the material inside the barrel, the final piece of the composter.

“It definitely would be greener than taking the food to the landfill, and the payoff probably wouldn’t be too bad either,” Cash said. “I think it would be good for JMU, that’s what we are trying to prove to them.”

Ogundipe said the students have come a long way since starting the assignment.

“At the beginning they didn’t really understand what designing a chemical interaction system would involve, but now they understand it completely,” Ogundipe said.

In April, the group will travel to Washington, D.C., to present its results.

In spring of 2012, the students hope to propose the project to JMU. If JMU decides to use the composter, the EPA will give a phase-two grant for $90,000 to put the composters all over campus.

cisco | JMU spends about $200,000 to install high-tech screens from front

difference in the quality of communication, in terms of any kinds of distance education or meetings offsite,” Rose said.

The screens are already used for meeting between administrators of the four universities, Rose said. JMU is working with GMU to teach Chinese classes to JMU and Va. Tech students next semester. The two schools are also developing a long-distance education program for adults with some college credit who are looking to earn a degree.

Rose said JMU was still putting together the long-distance learning program, which would allow students to finish degrees in business, technology and entrepreneurship, part of the 4-VA’s goal of adding 100,000 STEM

majors. The program should be ready by 2013, Rose said.

GMU Chinese professor Xi Chen will teachCHIN 305: Business Chinese and CHIN 300: Advanced Reading Development to JMU and VT students using the TelePresence system in the spring semester.

The TelePresence system was introduced by Cisco in 2006, and had been sold in 29 countries by 2008, according to Cisco’s website.

Students will take the class in Festival Conference Room 6, which is set up as a classroom with TelePresence screens at the front. Chen will teach the class from the TelePresence room at GMU and Va. Tech will link into both videos from its TelePresence rooms.

“It is great to have this possibility, because the only way [students] could have taken this course was to go

in the summer time to the JMU program abroad in China,” said Giuliana Fazzion, head of the foreign languages department. “Some could not have afforded that.”

Sullivan said foreign language classes were especially suited to the high-definition video conferencing that TelePresence allows.

“It draws people in,” Sullivan said at the conference. “You can imagine teaching a language class and hearing the student’s accent, when the student does or doesn’t understand something.”

Sullivan said that videos from the technology could be sent to anyone across the state.

“Maybe it’s other universities in Virginia, maybe it’s community colleges, maybe it’s a high school,” Sullivan said.

McDonnell said he was impressed

by what he’d seen so far and expected results.

“This [demo] is merely the beginning,” McDonnell told the presidents at the conference. “Now we’ve got to make it go and have all those noble goals actually come to pass.”

Chambers, who used the TelePresence to talk with the presidents and McDonnell from Cisco corporate headquarters in San Jose, Calif., called the partnership the most innovative he’d seen.

“You’ve got to be willing to change the process,” Chambers said. “How you change professors, how you share teaching in the group. You’ve got to look at how the organization structure has to change between the state and the four universities.”

Work done by the 4-VA initiative was funded by a $3.4 million

appropriation in Virginia’s operating budget, part of which will go to developing a cross-university curriculum for the long-distance learning program, McDonnell said.

Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers wouldn’t disclose the cost of the screens, but did say Cisco paid for them. JMU paid $200,000 to install two different screens in Festival, Rose said.

“The most successful in the world owe an obligation to give back,” Chambers said.

Sullivan said the new technology’s best benefits lie in the future.

“The exciting part will be things we can’t even imagine yet,” Sullivan said. “[Our successors] will cook up something really great.”

KeAtts A Atts | Memorial may be held Tuesday in the Convocation Center from front

Rossi said Keatts always tried to get the best out of everyone.

“We need people like Nick to push you to your limits to make you do better,” Rossi said.

Keatts was competitive and worked out every morning with the rest of the squad at the gym underneath Bridgeforth Stadium. Rossi said Keatts tried to motivate everyone to work their hardest at practice or in the weight room.

Keatts was very close with his friends, forming a group called “The Association.”

“It was this group of people that we always hung out with and we had codenames,” Nguyen said. “His nickname was ‘Party Time,’ and he gave himself that nickname because he was always ready to go, the first to be there and the last to leave.”

Nguyen said that he was with Keatts almost every day, and that he doesn’t have many friends like him.

About two weeks ago Keatts got a tattoo on his back that Nguyen had drawn for him.

Keatts had kept asking about it until Nguyen finally finished, and Keatts got it inked two days later.

“I kept telling him good things take time,” Nguyen said.

Keatts, a sports management major, had a passion for sports

and wanted to work for ESPN. In his sports blog at keattsbeat.wordpress.com., Keatts wrote about both his team and others.

“He was always a big light in our team and school. His laugh, his life, his wisdom and just about everything about him I want to remember.” nick sloane senior cheer squad member

“He loved sports; across the board, he loved every one of them,” Rossi said.

Senior Nick Sloane, an English major and member of the cheer squad, said Keatts took him under his wing when he joined a year and a half ago.

“He was a teammate, friend and like an older brother,” Sloane said.

Sloane said Keatts taught him everything he knew about cheering. He was in shock when he heard about Keatts’s death.

“He was always a big light in our team and school,” Sloane said. “His laugh, his life, his

wisdom and just about everything about him I want to remember.”

Anne Bianchi, a graduate student in education, was a member of the cheerleading squad for four years. She said Keatts has left a hole that will never be filled on the team.

“It’s something that is still just so unreal,” Bianchi said about Keatts’ death.

Walker said that Keatts’ mother was flying up from Texas for the first time next weekend to see him cheer at JMU’s game against the University of Rhode Island.

It will also be senior night for the JMU cheer squad.

Moore said Keatts’ mother will still be attending the game.

“He never let things stop or break him, and I think that individually and as a team that’s what we have to remember,” Bianchi said. “I don’t think he’d want us to mope or cry because I think that would break his heart.”

A memorial ceremony for Keatts has been tentatively scheduled in the Convocation Center for Tuesday at 7 p.m. The Breeze will offer any additional information about the memorial.

lEttEr to thE Editor theatre reviews

Critiquing a play is no easy task. It’s sometimes dif difficult to discover why a show left you feeling indifferent.

That being said, I have been disappointed with the reviews published by The Breeze during my time at JMU. There has been everything from simple errors, like misprinting a student’s year, to the more extreme, like slandering a director for having nudity in his play when, in reality, he chose to remove the extensive nudity that was written in the script.

I would like to suggest a some solutions to the ongoing battle between the reviewers and those involved in the show.

First, I suggest to anyone who wants to review a play to take THEA 211: Performance Analysis, a class

which focuses on the analysis of scripts and shows.

Theatre and dance majors must take this class, and it seems unprofessional for their reviewers not to as well.

Secondly, I also ask that the reviewer read the play.

Many false statements in years past have come from not knowing what the script originally said — something that must be respected by directors.

Thirdly, I would like for the reviewer to interview the designers of the shows; then they could produce a proper critique of the designers’ intent versus their outcome.

We appreciate being showcased in The Breeze, but these changes would go a long way.

Editorial

The gates on campus seem to be working. It’s nice walking around campus without worrying about drivers speeding through stoplights, trying to grab the last parking space or make it to class before attendance is taken.

One positive side-effect of the gates is the increase in alternative transportation methods used by faculty, staff and students. As reported in the Aug. 29 issue of The Breeze, the number of parking permits purchased dropped 25 percent this year compared to last year and several bus routes were added to accommodate those commuters. The number of faculty and staff members purchasing bicycles also went up over the summer, according to Thomas Jenkins, co-owner of Shenandoah Bicycle Company.

As a result, it’s not surprising that there seems to be a lot more students taking to alternative transportation, like bikes and skateboards.

Yesterday was the memorial service for Kathryn Mausteller, a senior who died from injuries after she had a longboarding accident.

While this incident was off campus, we, as part of the JMU community, want to do everything possible to prevent this type of tragedy from happening again.

Mausteller wasn’t wearing a helmet. Though we don’t wish to blame her death on this, it’s possible it could have prevented serious injury. Many students don’t wear helmets — something we need to change. If we choose to use other methods of transportation, we should spend the little extra money to prevent a permanent consequence.

Cars and buses should also take on the extra responsibility of making sure they’re aware of people using bikes and other transportation. A bicyclist, for example, could take every precaution possible, but she or he would still risk being seriously injured by a vehicle if a driver wasn’t paying attention.

We would like to applaud the Harrisonburg Department of Public Transportation for publicizing this message by advertising safe driving techniques on the back of buses.

Similarly, JMU Longboarding now uses its club dues to buy helmets.

Whether you get to campus by biking, skating, longboarding, walking or driving, everyone has a part in making sure we’re safe on the road to prevent an accident that would keep us from graduating.

Women are from JMU (men are too) a column exploring the male and female perspectives on issues JMU students face This week: The ‘rating’ system rachEl doziEr | The Breeze I’ve found that women tend to have a superior view of themselves over men when it comes to the superficial things in life. We tend to call out a guy for checking out a girl, and we look down on those female celebrities women guys call “hott” (with two t’s).

We would have been Vivian in “Legally Blonde,” laughing at Elle Woods while secretly holding a jealous grudge the size of Warren’s … engagement ring.

But the fundamental truth, ladies, is we’re just as bad. We have our own, not-so-secret rating system that’s just as degrading and judgmental as the average male’s. There are certain criteria that must be met when deciding what a

man’s number is.

For instance, does he have an accent? That’s an automatic seven no matter what his face looks like. Does he wear cargo pants?

That’s an automatic four, even if he’s Jude Law. Do his eyebrows have the appropriate amount of space between them, or is he growing a caterpillar up there?

Each centimeter in between can count for losing half a point.

It’s not an exact science, but it’s one I’ve found myself implementing numerous times on the bus, at the grocery store, in the mall and basically

anywhere men are presents.

Every girl’s scale is different based on her “type.” Some girls go for the testosterone-filled muscle man who wears a smaller size shirt than they do and has a grip that could snap your neck. Others look for the emaciated gentlemen who have less body weight than a newborn and who tend to wear a pant size smaller than them.

This plays a huge factor in the rating system. It’s very fickle and personality-based, so, guys, don’t be offended if you are a three on one list because you might be a nine

on another.

Another important aspect of the rating system that guys should know is that your personality is usually not factored in. You might be a 10 in personality and a five on the rating system.

So don’t take these ratings too seriously because I think most girls, despite our equally superficial sides, definitely account for guys who can make them laugh, care about them and who treat them right.

But it doesn’t hurt if you’ve got a nice butt.

matt SuthErland | The Breeze After going through a tough breakup my sophomore year, my mother gave me a piece of advice I’ve been holding on to since.

“Just remember, baby,” she told me, “you’re an easy eight or nine. And you can always date within two points of your rating.”

Although I knew she was giving me too much credit (There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a solid seven), the context of her frivolous response remains the same: Not only is the rating scale acceptable, it’s actually encouraged. In fact, I will just refer to this process hereon out as my “system.”

It is true that I’ve had a few missteps since then in determining eights from twos. But it’s important to understand that every man’s system is malleable. Currently, with what I definitely see as an obvious 10 of a girlfriend (she hasn’t told me to say this), I’m starting to finally understand my A “thanks-forbrightening-my-holiday” pat to the student I saw dressed up as Woody from “Toy Story.”

own system. I can now look back at the early days of high school and college with confidence and realize that however important my system may have been, it’s always just as fun to see it reverse itself in a few years’ time. Remember that chick who was probably a nine-ish in high school and hated your guts? How about when you go back home for break and see she gained the “freshman 50?”

Karma’s a b****, and so was she. Moving on.

It seems more fair to critics to use a 10-point scale when rating a woman’s attractiveness, and don’t tell me this is barbaric or juvenile. Ladies do it, too, and I notice it with every “True Blood” episode.

my good friends enlightened me with his minimalistic, yet effective approach to determining whether a female friend could be his morning rejuvenation or his unfortunate morning after. It uses three rankings. A one is “yes,” a zero is “no,” and a balled, shaky fist is “if I’m inebriated.”

Does this offend anybody?

Probably, until you understand this from my point of view. As any “Star Wars”/ Chuck Klosterman fan could tell you, the wise and powerful Yoda once said, “Try not.

Do or do not. There is no try.”

What my green friend was trying to say before George Lucas ruined him was that “maybes” and “sort ofs” never matter in the end. You either perform an action or you don’t.

between is what could have been.

After putting this into practice, one may find that this saves a lot more time than trying to figure out how you feel about that odd birthmark on her tricep. Chances are if you have to ask yourself more than thrice, it should be a “no.”

Now if I may address my female readers — and I think there are some — I don’t mean to offend you at all. I’m completely confident that you are someone’s 10 or a one on my friend’s system. And don’t worry, there are plenty more chances outside what you may see as a stifling dating scene at JMU.

Comedy news provides needed humor, informs about world affairs We live in an era where politics are dominated by the media. They tell you what you should be thinking, who you should vote for, what policy will work or what won’t — essentially controling your perception of certain political candidates.

From “Glenn Beck” and “The O’Reilly Factor” to “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” televised media machines give you their own spin on politicians.

Who would have thought that, of all of these news feeds, a late-night Comedy Central show would be one of the most

widely viewed political shows on the air? Because of the current nature of U.S. politics, these shows provide the perfect comic relief Americans need.

“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” beats out almost every one of Fox News’ shows by a long shot. On average, the show now gets about 2.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings.

In a poll conducted last year

by Pew Research Center, Americans weighed in on who they most admired as a journalist, and Jon Stewart came in fourth on the list, tying with

And this is exactly what we need in an intense and extreme political climate that has the country pitted against itself: someone who can sit back and show us just how absurd our society can be.

famous reporters like Brian Williams and Anderson Cooper.

Despite what some people may claim, Stewart’s audience is intelligent and informed, not “a bunch of loser slacker stoners,” as Bill O’Reilly of “The O’Reilly Factor” put it in April.

People who regularly watch “The Daily Show” or its spinoff “The Colbert Report” are most likely to score high on knowledge of world affairs, according to a 2007 study by Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.

Stewart has also reeled in

some big-name politicians to his show, including John McCain, John Kerry and Barack Obama.

He repeatedly says his show is comedy first, which is true, but it has significance that’s missing from your usual comedy show.

Stewart has the perfect blend of comedic satire and seriousness, and at one minute he may be laughing and joking about a gaffe some politician made, and the next he’s interviewing firefighters with cancer from time spent in the rubble of the World

Trade Center buildings.

This is why his show works so well and why his following is continuing to grow even after 15 years on the air.

And this is exactly what we need in an intense and extreme political climate that has the country pitted against itself: someone who can sit back and show us just how absurd our society can be.

Abortion opinions deserve respect Both sides have valid points, but need to have rational delivery

The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform’s Genocide Awareness Project visited JMU last week with provocative and controversial materials asserting that abortion is, well, genocide.

Dukes for Choice also came out to the commons to counter the protest with a pro-abortion rights message. I was caught in the middle, as were hundreds of other students who just wanted to use a punch at D-Hall.

Arguments over abortion are never pretty. CBR apparently spared no expense in proving that abortion itself is never pretty either, displaying huge photos of aborted fetuses and … I’m not sure what else because I looked away. I’m a little squeamish.

Dukes for Choice, meanwhile, chanted “abortion is not genocide” to anyone unlucky enough to forget their iPod and held up signs in protest.

Look, I’m a political person.

Experienced. Local. Effective.

but I feel very uncomfortable being caught in the crossfire of that argument. Why does it have to be so angry?

Dukes for Choice took the high road, using its petition only to state the club’s objection to the exploitation of the Holocaust and other cheap tactics used to incite people by some anti-abortion groups like the CBR. But typically both anti-abortion and pro-abortion rights groups are guilty of manipulating rhetoric and shutting down opposition. Neither side seems to respect the other and without mutual respect, you can’t have an actual conversation.

Even if compromise is impossible, who wins by engaging in debates where the other side doesn’t even listen? It’s divisive and ugly, and nobody should be proud of that.

We all agree that we have a right to life, liberty and property. We have a duty to protect life, but we can’t agree on when life begins.

We have a right to control our own bodies, but we don’t have a right to kill other people.

When does life begin, when does something become “other people”? That’s what we can’t decide.

When I’m faced with that uncertainty, I lean toward letting people choose for themselves. As a man, I feel particularly unqualified to translate

my thoughts on the female reproductive system into law.

Other people might turn to religion to resolve their uncertainty. Others might decide by assessing which view would be more useful in their lives.

The important part is that we all should confront how difficult this issue is and respect one other for making such hard choices in determining our views.

The pro-abortion rights crowd champions freedom by supporting a woman’s right to self-determination, while the anti-abortion crowd stands up for even the smallest of life forms’ right to exist.

The pro-abortion rights crowd shows its compassion by comforting and accepting the women who go through the trauma of choosing whether to get an abortion. The anti-abortion crowd provides a voice for those without one. Why must one side be labeled baby-killing sinners and the other as intrusive zealots?

Both groups have good points, but I can’t sort them out over all the noise they’re mak making. They need to remain calm and collect their thoughts. Only then can anyone they you.

women’s basketball (75-30)

Dukes dominate in shooting, rebounds

eben knowlton / the breeze

Junior guard/forward Nikki Newman defends against California University of Pennsylvania senior guard/forward Amy Johns in Saturday’s game.

By Jackie Brennan contributing writer

By out-rebounding their opponents 45-24, the Dukes used key players and strategy to defeat Division-II opponent California University of Pennsylvania in Saturday’s exhibition game.

The JMU women’s basketball team came out of the game with a commanding 75-30 victory.

Both teams were near perfect in the opening with neither team missing a field goal until three minutes into the game.

The Dukes led 18-13 after steady play until seven minutes in the half remained. In the closing minutes of the first half, they went on an uncontested 19-0 run, going into the locker room leading 37-13.

JMU would outscore Cal U 38-17 as the Dukes claimed a handy win on the eve of their regular season. The team would shoot more than 40 percent from the field in both halves.

Every JMU player scored in the game. Senior guard/forward Kiara Francisco, who scored nine points and had six rebounds, said the team rallied together to put forth a good effort.

“We’ve been really pushing playing together, and we carried that on the court,” Francisco said.

“We executed our plays and got the ball to open teammates. We just all came together as a team.”

Applying the same kind of play to the next few games will be key for the Dukes.

“As a team, we have a lot of offensive threats, and we need to utilize them to the best of our ability,” said redshirt senior forward Lauren Whitehurst.

“Getting Kirby [Burkholder] at the three, setting up Jasmine [Gill] where she can drive, getting the ball to Tarik [Hislop] — it’s all about using our offensive threats where we’re best at.”

Junior point guard Tarik Hislop, who contributed eight points and three assists in the victory, said the team still has a few kinks to work out.

“We have a lot of offensive threats,” Hislop said.

“It’s difficult for teams to guard us. Our weaknesses are probably execution and the brand new team. We just have different people in different roles.”

Junior guard/forward Nikki Newman said the new lineup for JMU has helped the team move forward to the beginning of the season. They had to shift a lot of players around from their normal spots, but so far, it’s worked.

“Only five new people came in, but we all play different roles now,” Newman said.

Sophomore guard Burkholder led in scoring

with 11 points in the game. She said the team’s strength is in the offense.

“We have a really quick team, we can all score well,” Burkholder said. “We’re undersized in the post, but that’s also why we’re quicker.”

JMU is looking to pick up where it left off last year. After winning the Colonial Athletic Association tournament last year, the Dukes lost 72-86 in the NCAA tournament first round to then-No. 20 University of Oklahoma.

JMU takes on Quinnipiac University on Friday before traveling to Washington, D.C., to face American University on Sunday.

The next games will invariably put the JMU defense to its first test this season. Quinnipiac returns four of its top five scorers from last season. The Bobcats are expected to finish sixth in the Northeastern Conference preseason poll and are looking to make their 12th consecutive NEC tournament appearance.

American is the Patriot League preseason favorite and boasted four double-digit scorers in its 90-74 exhibition win over Division-III University of the District of Columbia.

Key loss has major implications Dukes could miss the playoffs for third straight year

By David Barton The Breeze

Swim and dive sweep CAA pod meet On Saturday, the Dukes traveled to George Mason University to compete in a pod meet with Northeastern University, Old Dominion University, the College of William & Mary and GMU. The Dukes took first place finishes as a team in both swimming and diving.

For swimmers, senior Catalina Mendieta took a first place finish in the 100-yard butterfly, and senior Eva Hannesdottir took first in the 100-yard freestyle.

JMU relays also had dominating finishes, taking first place in both the 200-yard freestyle relay as well as the 200-yard medley relay. The medley relay team, consisting of Mendieta, freshmen Sin Hye Won and Susanne Gingher and junior Caroline Burns recorded the fifth-best time in school history, finishing the race in 1:44:82.

Sophomore Kelsey Holmgaard (above) took not only first place in the 100-yard individual medley, but also second in the 100-yard breaststroke.

Diving also had a great meet, with four of the top five being JMU divers. Junior Kimberly Helfrich, freshman Alex Savage and seniors Chelsea Savage and Nicole Jotso dominated the podium against the four CAA competitors Saturday. The diving team had a combined total of 1,277.15 points, enough to leave them with a 12-3 record.

The diving team will head to the University of North Carolina Nov. 17 to compete in the Nike Cup. The swim team will double up with the diving team again Dec. 2 for the Big Al Invitational in Princeton, N.J.

It was a rough visit to New England.

JMU (5-4, 3-3 CAA) saw its playoff hopes possibly dashed Saturday in a 28-10 loss to the University of New Hampshire (7-2, 5-1 CAA). The Dukes have now lost three of their last four games. Thirty-five points were scored in the first half, with both teams’ defenses giving up big plays. JMU’s offense was stagnant in the second half, similar to the week before against Old Dominion University.

“I feel like we weren’t [up for it], and it showed,” said redshirt sophomore linebacker Stephon Robertson. “I think on the first drive, it only took them a minute to score. We have to come out with better energy like we did in the second half.”

On paper, Saturday’s matchup pitted a fantastic UNH passing offense against a porous JMU pass defense. That was evident in the first quarter as UNH quarterback Kevin Decker passed for 59 yards and a touchdown. UNH added 30 yards rushing and scored a whopping 18 points in that first quarter. It was 25 points by the half, and JMU was struggling in every phase of the game, including giving up five penalties.

JMU made many mental errors by way of penalties and turnovers. The biggest of these came in the third quarter when Brian Barlow caught a 17-yard touchdown pass, only to have it called back on a holding penalty.

“The touchdown callback was huge,” said coach Mickey Matthews. “The whole game probably changed on that play. We had a lot of momentum going.”

Senior defensive end D.J. Bryant was a major offender with his two late hits adding to the Dukes total of eight penalties for 73 yards on the afternoon.

The lone bright spot for the Dukes was redshirt sophomore running back Dae’Quan Scott’s first-half performance. He was a game-time decision with a nagging shoulder injury but managed to rush for 111 yards, 95 of which came in the first half. This early production in the running game can also be attributed to the offensive line, which had two new faces starting Saturday: redshirt freshman right guard Matt Williams and left tackle Matt Cunningham.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Jace Edwards also came into the game with a shoulder injury. He then rolled his ankle in the first quarter, but played

the entire game. Edwards was forced to pass the ball more than he has for much of the year. He had 31 attempts on the day, completing 18 for 159 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

“We had to throw out a lot of our offense because of his limited mobility,” Matthews said. “He made some bad throws because his ankle was bad. That really hurt us.”

The Dukes now have two games left in the season.

They play University of Rhode Island on Saturday for the last home game of the season and travel to Amherst to play the University of Massachusetts Minutemen on Nov. 25.

“The committee always says that Division-I losses don’t count against you,” Matthews said. “I think probably if we win the next two, we’ll be in. We’re certainly not a shoo-in.”

The Dukes must win both of the remaining games to have a chance at the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. Even then, it’s possible the Dukes will be looked over by the FCS committee in its determination of the playoff teams.

doing since we were little boys, and that’s play football,” Bryant said. “Let’s not think about the pressure. Let’s not think about the playoffs. Let’s think about one game at a time.”

Rhode Island is No. 8 in the CAA but is coming off a big win over the College of William & Mary and beat the University of Delaware two weeks ago. The Minutemen are moving to the Football Bowl Subdivision next season and aren’t eligible for the FCS playoffs, so their matchup with the Dukes is their last in the CAA. There’s also a question of whether the suspended quarterback Justin Thorpe will start in the two must-win games. He will be eligible, since his five-game suspension has come to an end.

Matthews seemed to suggest Thorpe could be the starter next week at home.

“Jace is so hurt; he’s got a bad shoulder, he’s got a bad ankle,” Matthews said. “I don’t know if he can even play this week. He probably played on guts alone today.”

Thorpe won’t have much of a transition back to live football as his offensive line is inexperienced, and there will be considerable pressure on his shoulders.

Also, Matthews is in the hot seat after starting off the season strong and struggling to win games down the stretch. If Matthews doesn’t win out and misses the playoffs for a third straight year, Director of Athletics Jeff Bourne has a major coaching desicion on his hands.

Fall season ends on positive note

By Stephen proffitt contributing writer

The club baseball team finished its fall season in style, with two shutouts against George Mason University this weekend.

The Dukes picked up a dominant 11-0 victory in their first game and a 12-0 victory in their second during the doubleheader against GMU. Junior Adam Henne took the mound for the Dukes, controlling the Patriots’ lineup in the first half of the first inning by striking out one and allowing one hit.

That hit came off a chopper in between the pitcher and the first baseman. Both players went after the ball in a lack of communication, and no one was there to cover the bag at first.

Henne’s start marked his fourth appearance for the Dukes in their fall campaign.

Coming into Saturday’s contest, he had 11 innings of work under his belt to go along with 11 strikeouts and a slim 1.91 ERA. Henne struck out seven batters in three innings of work, which contributed to his team’s leading 18 strikeouts this fall.

“I wasn’t actually feeling that good,” Henne said. “Guys got some runs for us so that gave me some confidence out there.”

Senior Danny Rafie quickly began the Dukes’ melee of hitting in the bottom half of the first with a single to right field. After a two RBI single from sophomore Zach Cutter and a two RBI double from junior Greg Victor, the Dukes were on top 5-0 heading into the second.

A trio of RBI hits from Ryan Barto, Joey Capobianco and club president Alec Bernstein gave the Dukes an eight-run lead

heading into the third inning of five during the first game.

The Dukes picked up two more runs off a senior David Laub double, which increased their lead to 10-0.

The Dukes then called on sophomore pitcher Matt Woods for the fourth inning to pick up where Henne left off in the third. He quickly loaded the bases by allowing three straight walks, but later got out of the jam by picking up two strikeouts along the way in his one inning of work for the Dukes.

Cutter continued the hitting by doubling to center field scoring Bernstein from second base. He finished the day 2-3 with three RBIs. This was only Cutter’s fifth game with the Dukes after making the team in September. He came into Saturday with one hit on the season in nine plate jordan cmeyla / contributing photographer appearances.

Right Randy Montana and his backing band played Wilson Hall Thursday night in support of his self-titled debut record, while also performing new unreleased material. Top Russell Dickerson, the opening act, surprised audiences with a personal performance, singing about his life and connecting to students. Bottom Montana was JMU’s first country act since Corey Smith in February 2010.

Move over, Hannah

On Thursday night, Virginia got a little taste of Montana.

Rising country singer Randy Montana drew a diverse crowd to his Wilson Hall performance, satisfying students that have clamored for country music concerts.

Montana is associated with a lot of big names in country music, touring with acts like Taylor Swift, and is about to embark on a tour with Lady Antebellum this month.

Though Montana’s biggest crowd-pleaser of the night was “1,000 Faces,” Montana and his five-person band got the crowd moving with their high-energy performance of songs like “Little Rock and the Rain,” which

has yet to be recorded.

Montana’s wife has a personal connection to JMU through her cousin, so Montana was eager to perform for at JMU, according to University Program Board publicist Natalie Hamlin.

“Usually I play in smokey bars where everyone is drunk and no one gives a s*** about what I do,” Montana said, “Thank y’all for being here tonight. You’ve made this a very fun trip already.”

Many students were happy that UPB selected a country artist to play.

“I am so excited,” said freshman social work major Brenna Neimanis. “I am from Chicago and no one listens to country music in Chicago, but when I came down here, everyone does. UPB made a good choice

Student requests for concert diversity met by country artist Randy Montana on Thursday night

on the artist.”

Other students agreed the country choice was a nice change of pace.

“I am thrilled that JMU has brought a country singer to perform,” said Kelsey Michalak, a sophomore studio art major.

“I’d love to see more.”

But the biggest surprise of the night came from Russell Dickerson, Montana’s opening performer, who was a major hit.

Dickerson made an effort to identify with JMU students. At the end of his performance, Dickerson left the audience with one last thought.

“Everyone has officially been Russell-ed, and I have officially been Duke-ed,” Dickerson said.

A laid-back atmosphere and dotting of

cowboy hats and waving cellphones in the air helped create a successful performance for Dickerson.

“My favorite part of the show was the opening act,” said Rosemary Langowski, a junior political science and Spanish double major. “I’ve never heard of him, and he was very entertaining.”

UPB’s next concert will is Dec. 2 when indie-pop artist Ingrid Michaelson performs in Wilson Hall. Student tickets are $22 and go on sale Thursday. An interest survey for the spring concert will also be released later this semester.

Curtis Winiesdorffer, a senior media arts and design major, ran in the Nicaraguan Orphan Fund Barefoot 5K on Saturday afternoon. It was 36 degrees.

“It was a lot trickier. I couldn’t go as fast because I had to watch out for stuff,” Winiesdorffer said. His time was 33:59.

The race was held to raise money for orphanages in Nicaragua. The organization accepted donations of shoes before and after the race.

Founders’ flora sprouts book Author reveals presidents’ gardening passions

By Katelynn Lee contributing writer

Stop me if you’ve heard this one.

Stoner buddies Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) get into a series of debacles that stem from the seed of a mishap, rolling them up in a catastrophic mess of their own making. All of their problems going up in smoke after they realize how

much they mean to each other.

“A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas” mirrors the plot of previous films in the surprisingly long-lived “Harold and Kumar” franchise. Pot is once again the

catalyst that tears them apart and brings them back together. The only difference this time is that the pair gets a little help from Santa.

The two have been out of contact for a while, and when a package addressed to Harold mysteriously appears at Kumar’s apartment, Kumar goes to drop it off at Harold’s

Up-and-coming comedian Eliot Chang wasn’t afraid to be frank during his performance Thursday night.

“Drinking leads to sex with ugly people,” Chang said. “When you get drunk, you wake up in the morning, look over and see someone next to you who looks like Cookie Monster.”

Chang performed at Memorial Hall as part of the Asian Student Union’s culture week.

Chang has appeared on shows like “Comedy Central Presents” and “Chelsea Lately,” but takes pride in entertaining students, having traveled to more than 400 colleges.

Chang talked to the crowd like the students were a group of his closest friends and improvised throughout the show, mimicking a girl’s laugh in the audience.

He joked about topics like alcohol, Facebook, sex, texting and fashion trends.

A highlight of the night was when Chang made fun of the way girls talk, imitating the voices of girls on “The Hills” and “Gossip Girl.”

“I gave this guy my number, and he called me. What a stalker,” Chang said, imitating the voice of a young college girl chatting with her friends.

Chang also joked about the horrors

of taking group pictures with image conscious women, and frustrations with dating.

“My favorite part was when he was giving girls advice,” said junior accounting major Jim Braudaway. “I thought he was spot on.”

Chang did more than just joke though, as he did have serious advice for students as well.

“Plan your day wisely, just don’t waste time,” Chang said. “You’ve gotta live for you, guys. You only have one life.”

After the show, Chang hosted a Q&A session, giving students the chance to anonymously text him questions.

Students learned that the largest crowd Chang has performed for was 5,000 people at Cornell University and that he was a biology major in college.

Many students were won over by Chang’s performance.

“I didn’t know what to expect. I don’t think I stopped laughing,” said freshman justice studies major Josh Edmonds.

Students looking for more comedy can attend “Full House” star Dave Coulier’s performance Friday at Wilson Hall. Tickets are $5.

Of course, Kumar lights up in Harold’s house, setting the Christmas tree on fire. Harold’s father-in-law has sentimental attachments to the tree, so the two make it their mission to replace it.

James Madison may have been an advocate of the Bill of Rights, but his second biggest passion in life was probably his garden.

On Wednesday evening, about 150 people, including a few students and members of the Augusta Garden Club, came to the Health and Human Services building to hear Andrea Wulf discuss her book, “Founding Gardeners.”

The book is about the first four presidents’ passion for the environment and how they hoped the United States would be an independent agricultural society.

Wulf, a British design historian, has traveled around the world to promote her books and speak on various national public radio shows. Her book is a New York Times bestseller.

Originally from India, Wulf spent

Kumar | Has ‘high’-jinks aplenty

Garden | Madison ‘a farmer’

From B4

from page B4

The “Harold and Kumar” films have always skirted the line of good taste, and this occasionally goes too far.

The film is overloaded with ethnic stereotypes, many of which are forced and unnecessary. A scene with a bickering Jewish couple seems like the scriptwriters tried to squeeze all the Jewish stereotypes they’ve ever heard

into a three-minute sequence.

Neil Patrick Harris returns to play the exaggerated version of himself that appeared in the previous films. What was once endearing quickly becomes vulgar, as a sensual massage between Harris and a potential conquest quickly becomes more revolting then comedic.

Just as the film takes a turn for the worst, Waffle-Bot, an appropriately named wafflemaking robot, enters the

picture. The batter-bearing ’bot is the best new addition to the film, allowing for some light-hearted humor to break through the perverse material.

It was hinted that there could be a fourth film. I’d see the next episode of Harold and Kumar’s escapades — as long as they bring Waffle-Bot with them.

-respondence about their gardens and hopes for a country of farmers.

“The founding fathers have always been a passion of mine, and I wanted to see their house and gardens with my own eyes,” Wulf said.

Whether they were fighting a war, signing the Bill of Rights or creating the Declaration of Independence, they focused on their gardens, Wulf said. They wanted Americans to understand that the heart of America is its natural landscape.

While Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello garden, located in Charlottesville, inspired

her book, Wulf spent most of Wednesday’s lecture talking about James Madison’s passion for gardening.

“She basically argued that Madison was one of the founders of American environmentalism, which I agree with, because Madison grew up as a farmer,” said Sarah Everett, a junior theatre and dance major who attended the event.

“He was first and foremost a farmer.”

At Montpelier, Madison was dedicated to the preservation of the environment by conserving resources, Wulf explained. He kept the forest surrounding his home untouched and worked to think of new ways to cultivate

Wulf also discussed a speech Madison gave to the Agriculture Society of Albemarle County in 1818 promoting preserving an agricultural society. As the first president of the Agricultural Society of Albemarle, Madison believed one should live off the land without destroying it.
