Sen. Mark Warner met supporters at Capital Ale House in downtown Harrisonburg on Saturday morning for a rally.

By patrick mortiere The Breeze

With the 2014 election only days away, candidates in Virginia have been making last-minute campaign stops to rouse supporters and pick up votes.

Local Democrats and supporters of Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) packed into Capital Ale House in downtown Harrisonburg Saturday morning for a “Get out the Vote” rally. Warner was joined by Attorney General Mark Herring and former Virginia Senator John

Warner, who holds no family relation to the current senator.

This year’s senatorial election has Warner pinned against Republican opponent Ed Gillespie, who is the former chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Libertarian Party candidate Robert Sarvis is also in the mix.

Mark spoke to the audience first off about how as Americans, everyone should be guaranteed a fair shot. Speaking to college issues facing JMU students, he worries that college students may be denied those chances as the result

of mounting student loan debt.

“Student debt, at $1.2 trillion, is more than credit card debt,” Mark Warner said. “I came out of college and law school with $15,000 worth of debt. If I come out with 50, 60, $70,000 worth of debt, I’m not sure I would’ve had the opportunities that I had.”

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) sponsored the Student Right to Know Before You Go Act legislation in 2013, which was co-sponsored with bipartisan

For the first time in more than 20 years The Breeze has won an Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award.

The award is considered to be one of the highest national honors in college media and is unofficially known as the “Pulitzer Prize[s] of student journalism.”

The Breeze was named as a finalist in years past, but this year was the first time The Breeze was named a winner.

Ten other four-year college non-daily newspapers also received a Pacemaker award, but The Breeze was the only one from Virginia.

Pacemakers are judged in three categories: four-year college dailies, four-year college non-dailies and twoyear college papers. The judging panel is made up of staff from professional newspapers or news organizations.

The Breeze’s IJ Chan also received an honorable mention for her story on the drug Molly in the Story of the Year category. Chan uncovered the hidden story behind the “party” drug Molly.

Chan’s story ranked as one of the best eight college media stories of the year.

Entries for the ACP Pacemaker came from the 2013 year under the leadership of Sean Cassidy, editor-inchief. Recipients of the Pacemakers were announced on Saturday night in Philadelphia.

JMU football players stand in the end zone and celebrate their 31-24 victory over the No. 17-ranked College of William & Mary on Saturday. It was the Dukes’ fourth straight win.

JMU defeats William & Mary 31-24 in homecoming game on Saturday

”

INSTAGRAM OF THE DAY

By Wayne Epps Jr. The Breeze

What is JMU’s redshirt junior quarterback Vad Lee afraid of?

He’s clearly not afraid to run the ball, or to let it fly, judging by his prolific rushing and passing numbers.

But backed into a corner late in JMU’s homecoming weekend bout with the College of William & Mary, there was one thing he feared.

“The fear of losing,” Lee said. “We didn’t want to lose. We did not want to lose this game. We got big dreams, big goals.”

And thus, after the offense struggled mightily in the first half, the Dukes scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a go-ahead score with 47 seconds to play. That effort earned them a 31-24 win over the No. 17-ranked Tribe in front of a 21,778 crowd at Bridgeforth Stadium on Saturday. The win

improved JMU to 6-3 overall and 3-2 in the Colonial Athletic Association, the team’s fourth straight victory.

Where the running game struggled Saturday, Lee’s arm shined again.

Lee was 26-40 passing for 324 yards and three touchdowns, his third 300yard passing game of the year and his second in a row. And while the weather was cold, windy and wet, JMU’s receiving corps proved to be reliable throughout the game.

On the Dukes’ winning play, Lee said he was supposed to run the ball himself. Yet on the 3rd-and-1 effort from William & Mary’s nine-yard line, down 24-23, a wide open DeAndre’ Smith in the end zone was just too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Family trips to JMU mean football, tailgating and … honey?

For one JMU parent, empty nest syndrome has become the thriving hive syndrome. Marilyn Lehmuller of Locust Valley, New York, has found a unique way to adjust to all four daughters moving out of the house for college — two of them to JMU. This hobby also allows her to bring a new taste to campus when she visits.

“I lost four daughters but picked up 60,000 girls,” Lehmuller said, in reference to the 60,000 bees she keeps in her Locust Valley backyard.

Lehmuller was introduced to beekeeping a year ago when a “Beekeeping 101” flier came in the mail. She showed up for an hour-long lecture at her local library and decided to give it a go.

Lehmuller and her husband George, a president of an insurance firm, ordered a hive from Connecticut with one box of 5,000 bees. see honey, page 9

Correction • In Thursday’s Breeze article “Hot off the press,” which

detailed JMU’s new 3-D printing technology, the photo incorrectly identified the student pictured as Patrick Moran. The student in the picture is Jonathan Gerhard, a sophomore math major. The article also stated that JMU has accepted a $18,289 contract bid for new 3-D printing technology, but did not clarify that the bid is connected to 3-D printers in Duke Hall, and not the 3-Space classroom in Burruss Hall.

WORLD NEWS ISIL, Nusra join to Iraqi Kurd scouts Jewish activist combat US forces enter Kobani shot in Israel

Shiites in Baghdad face more violence

Tribune News Service

ISTANBUL — Al Qaida-backed militants Saturday stormed the base of the most prominent civilian commander in the U.S.-backed Syrian rebel force, forcing him and his fighters to flee into hiding in the Jebal al Zawiya mountains of northern Syria.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, now far stronger and claiming to run a caliphate in Syria and Iraq, reportedly joined the Nusra Front in the attack on the village of Deir Sinbul.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based opposition monitoring group, said ISIL fighters had arrived from the east of Syria to join the al-Qaida affiliate in the fight against Revolutionaries of Syria Front.

If ISIL fighters did join Nusra in the attack, it will have major repercussions for the war in Syria, for the two groups have been divided since April 2013.

The latest developments also raise the question whether the U.S., which daily bombards jihadist positions in a small Kurdish enclave in northeastern Syria, was monitoring the other fronts in the Syrian war where ISIL is active.

IRBIL, Iraq — A small unit of Iraqi Kurdish fighters entered the besieged Syrian town of Kobani on Thursday to meet with Syrian Kurds battling militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and to make preparations for the arrival of a larger Iraqi Kurd force, according to Kurdish officials in Iraq and witnesses on the ground near Kobani.

The unit entering Kobani consisted of about 10 Iraqi Kurds, officials said; the remainder of the force, believed to number about 150, has assembled at a Turkish military base near the border with Syria and will enter Kobani after the scouting unit briefs it on conditions in the besieged town, witnesses near Kobani said.

Turkey, under pressure from the United States, granted permission for the Iraqi Kurds to travel through Turkey with heavy weapons and ammunition, under the assumption that the Iraqi Kurds will operate the equipment.

More than 800 people have died in the 40 days of combat since the better equipped Islamic State fighters began their assault on Kobani.

JERUSALEM — Tensions over Jerusalem’s most hotly contested holy site flared Thursday after a prominent rightist campaigner for Jewish prayer there was shot in an apparent assassination attempt, and police tracked down and killed an Arab they said was the attacker.

American-born Yehuda Glick, 48, who led efforts to allow Jews to pray on the plaza known to Israelis as the Temple Mount, the site of Al-Aqsa mosque, was reported in serious but stable condition after he was shot multiple times Wednesday night as he left a gathering of activists. The shooter sped away on a motorcycle.

Early Thursday, a police counterterrorism unit shot and killed Moataz Hijazi, 32, in the mixed Jewish-Arab neighborhood of Abu Torm.

There have been increased clashes at the compound between Muslim youths and police in recent weeks, triggered by alarm over increased visits by right-wing Jewish activists intent on pressing the Israeli authorities to allow Jews to pray at the site.

BAGHDAD — The panic ignited by the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant’s midsummer charge from the northern city of Mosul to the capital’s doorstep has eased as Iran-backed Shiite Muslim militias, Iraqi army remnants, police and U.S.-led airstrikes have rallied to slow the extremist Islamist group’s approach. There no longer is rampant fear that the Sunni fanatics are poised to storm the capital imminently.

Yet Baghdad has been hit by a slew of bombings in recent weeks that seem intended to shatter public confidence in the new Shiite Muslim-dominated government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, the politician plucked from relative obscurity who the Obama administration hopes will find a way to bridge the country’s sectarian divide.

The blasts have maimed and killed hundreds in the capital, which has become dominated by Shiites in the years since Saddam Hussein was toppled. ISIL considers Shiites to be apostates and has slaughtered many in the months since it seized Mosul.

NATIONAL NEWS Scientists give alarming Four Calif. pedestrians climate change warning killed on Halloween

Pilot killed, co-pilot injured in Calif. crash

Loss of Democratic clout for Senate looks likely

Tribune Washington Bureau

Los Angeles Times

Los Angeles Times

Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — The window is closing rapidly for governments to avert the worst climate change damage expected to occur later this century, scientists warned in one of the loudest alarms yet sounded by the international scientific community.

The report, issued Sunday, arrives as international negotiators prepare to meet in Lima, Peru, in December to establish parameters for an eventual agreement on cutting heat-trapping emissions.

Written by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the report says there are more heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere than at any time in at least the last 800,000 years, and that most of them came from the combustion of fossil fuels since the advent of widespread industrialization in the late 1800s. The effects of global warming are already being felt in rising sea levels, ocean acidification and more extreme weather events.

SANTA ANA, Calif. — In the first of two fatal incidents involving pedestrians in Orange County on Halloween, 13-year-old Lexandra Perez, her twin sister Lexi and their friend, Andrea Gonzalez, 13, set out to trick or treat at about 6:40 p.m. across Fairhaven Avenue, a busy four-lane street just yards from their homes.

They were in the crosswalk when a fast-moving Honda CR-V plowed into them, then sped away, according to police and witnesses.

All three girls were killed, and Santa Ana detectives are searching for two men who they believe ditched the SUV at a nearby shopping center.

Roughly 10 miles away in Irvine, about 30 minutes after the girls were hit, a 65-year-old man was trick-or-treating with his 4-year-old son when a Mazda struck them. The man was killed; the boy was rushed to a trauma center, where he was in critical condition.

LOS ANGELES — Aviation pioneer Richard Branson’s dream for space tourism was dealt a serious blow Friday as Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo plummeted into a desolate stretch of the Mojave Desert during a test flight. One pilot was killed, and his co-pilot seriously injured.

It was the second catastrophe in three days for the commercial space industry.

The test flight took off shortly after 9 a.m. Friday from the Mojave Air and Space Port, which is about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

The rocket plane was lifted into the sky by another aircraft, which typically carries it to 50,000 feet. The malfunction occurred just seconds after the spaceship separated from the carrier, officials said.

“The aircraft is in several different pieces,” said Kern County Sheriff Don Youngblood. “We found one person, who was obviously deceased, immediately.” The other was taken to Antelope Valley Hospital, he said, with “major injuries.”

WASHINGTON — Washington state’s clout took a big hit last year when Democratic Rep. Norm Dicks, the longtime appropriations king, decided to call it quits after 36 years in the House of Representatives.

Now Democrats fear the state could lose even more of its punch on Capitol Hill if Republicans win control of the Senate on Nov. 4, a prospect that many political analysts say is likely.

Both of the state’s Democratic senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, would lose committee chairmanships if the GOP wins a majority of the 100 Senate seats. urray, the highest-ranking woman in Senate leadership, would no longer head the Senate Budget Committee, while Cantwell would forfeit her gavel on the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

In Brief Montpelier Station

Millions donated to renovate Madison estate David Rubenstein, a former advisor to President Jimmy Carter, has donated $10 million to Montpelier, James Madison’s historic plantation, according to The Daily Progress.

The 2,700-acre estate is located in Orange County, Virginia, and the money will benefit efforts to refurnish the mansion and reconstruct some of the buildings behind the house, such as the kitchen and slave quarters.

It’s estimated that about $6.5 million from the donation will go toward renovations to the dining room, bedrooms, kitchen and cellar, among others.

The other $3.5 million will be used to reconstruct slave quarters in the south yard of the main house. The original structure had three duplexes for slaves, two smokehouses and a kitchen. Two of the three duplexes are expected to be altered into a space for exhibits and teaching.

Rubenstein says he hopes that the restoration project will bring more people to the estate, and encourages others to learn more about the nation’s founding father and fourth president.

“I think Montpelier deserves to be better known and it will be better known,” Rubenstein said. “I just want to have a small role in that.”

Fairfax

Jesse Matthew arraigned in Fairfax County case Jesse Matthew Jr., 32, who’s accused of the abduction of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, was arraigned in Fairfax County Circuit Court on Friday morning, according to The Daily Progress.

Matthew is accused of allegedly assaulting a now 26-year-old woman as she walked back from a grocery story in Fairfax on Sept. 24, 2005. Matthew allegedly grabbed the woman and pulled her toward the back of the neighborhood and into the grass, where he then sexually attacked her and fled when he thought he heard someone approaching.

Matthew appeared in front of the Fairfax County court on video via a feed from the Albemarle Charlottesville Circuit Court, where he requested that his current court-appointed attorney, Jim Camblos, represent him in the Fairfax case. Matthew’s request was denied, and instead Camblos was assigned as co-counsel to Fairfax County public defenders.

Camblos also filed a request to have Matthew psychiatrically evaluated, but Chief Judge Dennis Smith declined the motion — saying he will assign another judge to consider the request.

Matthew is scheduled for a hearing on Dec. 1 in Albemarle County General District Court for reckless driving charges, and on Dec. 4 for a preliminary hearing on charges of abducting Hannah Graham.

Washington, D.C.

D.C. legislators consider marijuana legalization Businessmen, advocates and Washington D.C. legislators debated on Thursday about the details of marijuana legalization, regulation and taxation, should voters approve legalization in the district this Tuesday, according to The Washington Times.

Initiative 71 would make it legal for residents aged 21 and older to possess up to two ounces of marijuana for personal use, and to grow six cannabis plants in the person’s residence. A poll from NBC4/Washington Post/Marist University last month shows that about 65 percent of district residents plan on voting for the measure, with 33 percent opposed and 2 percent undecided.

The district’s director of fiscal and legislative analysis, Yesim Sayin Taylor, says that the marijuana industry in the city is valued at roughly $130 million.

The taxed revenue from marijuana proceeds is expected to go toward a fund separate from the general fund, but it’s still unknown as to what part of the city will benefit from it.

The district’s legislation proposes a 15 percent sales tax on recreational marijuana, and a 6 percent sales tax on medical marijuana. Voters from Alaska and Oregon will also be voting for marijuana legalization at the polls on Tuesday.

Virginia Senatorial Election

The Virginia senatorial election is tomorrow, and since many students have been heavily invested in classes, clubs and weekend festivities, The Breeze has compiled a voters guide. Candidates Mark Warner, Ed Gillespie and Robert Sarvis gave their views on hot button issues. Polls will open at 6 a.m. on Tuesday and will remain open until 7 p.m. A valid photo ID, such as a JACard, must be presented at the polling station. To view all of the candidates on Harrisonburg’s ballot, visit breezejmu.org.

Reporting by Alyssa Miller / contributing writer

How important is bipartisanship in today’s government?

Warner (D): Natalie Raps, a representative for Warner responded by saying, “The foundation of good policy is not based on whether you are a Democrat or a Republican; it’s about whether you are solving the problems facing Virginians.”

Gillespie (R): Paul Logan, a representative for Gillespie said, “[If elected] Ed would work with members of the other party, as he did as counselor to the President with a Democratic congress and as a top congressional aide with a Democratic President, to get things done.”

Sarvis (L): Sarvis’ campaign said that they believe in working together in order to meet common challenges, which differs from bipartisanship because both major parties are on the “wrong” side of many issues. Bipartisanship, according to Sarvis’ campaign, resulted in decades of a “failed drug war,” which led to many consequences.

The financial burden facing today’s college students and recent graduates “[Warner has] Introduced specific proposals that would help borrowers pay down their loans. These ideas include capping loan repayment obligations at 10 percent of your income, providing employers with the option to offer $5,000 pre-tax to help employees pay off their student debts, and making the costs and benefits of college much more transparent as students and their parents consider their higher education options,” according to Warner’s representative Natalie Raps.

Gillespie stresses the importance of encouraging states to promote transparency and work with other universities. He believes that doing this with ensure a better outcome than a system controlled by the Department of Education.

Gillespie also supports simplifying the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) and creating a link between student loans and income levels.

Sarvis’ campaign cites the high college cost, difficulty to earning a job because of the weak economy and the failure of colleges when preparing students for the real world. He supports improved economic policies and a more open, competitive marketplace when in regards to higher education services. To address taxation, Sarvis supports entitlement reforms.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and health care reform “[Warner has] offered targeted fixes to healthcare that will ease paperwork and reporting requirements on small businesses, provide Virginians with more affordable healthcare options, and to allow insurance companies to sell products across state,” according to representative Natalie Raps.

Gillespie opposes the ACA, and, according to Paul Logan, “[Gillespie supports] repealing Obamacare and replacing it with market-based reforms that take health care decisions out of the hands of political appointees.”

Sarvis believes that the ACA failed to address to cause of the unaffordability of healthcare. Sarvis supports deregulating the healthcare market, which, he says, “can result in dramatic cost reductions and quality improvements over time.”

Renewable energy Warner supports “a comprehensive ‘all of the above’ energy approach that includes renewable sources, such as wind and solar, natural gas, nuclear and cleaner coal technology.”

Gillespie he supports the use of coal, oil and natural gas production, which includes responsible deep sea drilling off of Virginia’s coast. He believes that its important to encourage the development of nuclear energy as a low-cost and low-emission energy source.

Sarvis supports using price incentives to promote energy conservation. According to Sarvis’ campaign, one energy prices mirror pollution costs, the government doesn’t need to pick particular alternative energy sources or particular companies, industries or technologies.

Sexual assault legislation According to Warner’s representative Natalie Raps, “[Warner] joined with a bipartisan group of colleagues to introduce the Campus Safety Act, which will combine and strengthen campus safety initiatives.” Warner believes that the legislation increase transparency and accountability at educational institutions and will help protect and empower students.“ If selected, he would work with state and local officials in partnership with college administrators and students to keep community members safe. Gillespie’s campaign also said that he was endorsed by the Virginia Fraternal Order of Police and the Police Benevolent Association because he is committed to public safety.

The best way to deal with criminal law and public safety is at the state level instead of the federal level because the existing laws and practices of each state differs.

Legalization of marijuana Senator Warner supports the use of medical marijuana when used appropriately, and thinks that Virginia should “wait until there is more data from Colorado and Washington state” in terms of legalizing marijuana for non-medical use.

He does not support legalizing recreational use of marijuana at the federal level.

According to his campaign, Sarvis is a strong advocate for legalizing marijuana.

Abortion Senator Warner “trusts the women of Virginia to make their own health care decisions in conjunction with their families and their doctors.”

Gillespie is pro-life, and believes that a culture should be fostered that respects human life. However, he believes that there should be exceptions for a mother’s life and cases regarding rape and incest.

Sarvis is against the federal government passing laws restricting abortion, because it’s not within the federal government’s scope of authority.

Making the grade Professors embody JMU’s vision statement for Madison Vision Teaching Excellence Award

By Ian munro and Erin Flynn The Breeze

JMU professors are being encouraged to not just talk about the university’s vision statement, but to live it. The $3,000 Madison Vision Teaching Excellence Award could be won by a professor who gains the most votes toward his or her representation of the statement in the classroom.

According to Mark Rankin, an associate professor of English and a “spearhead” of the award, the proposed award would be available to any full-time instructional faculty member.

The professor who places second would be awarded a smaller prize of $2,000.

This idea, which is still in its beginning stages, was initiated by the Faculty Senate last year.

“President [Jon] Alger suggested the Faculty Senate could help be involved in the process of further fleshing out the university’s new vision of being the national model of the engaged university, and we could help better understand engagement and to help become that engaged university,” David McGraw, an integrated science and technology professor and speaker of the Faculty Senate, said.

Alger provided the Faculty Senate with $10,000 that could be used to help support the new vision statement. The Madison Vision Excellence Award proposal was one of the topics discussed, but whether or not they want to go

through with the idea hasn’t been decided yet, according to Mark Piper, an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion and the Faculty Senate’s Marshall.

In their attempt to engage with the community, the Faculty Senate would team up with the Student Government Association (SGA) to increase student involvement in selecting the winner.

According to Alexandra “Zan” Guendert, a sophomore political science major and Faculty Senate liaison, the Faculty Senate hopes that SGA would publicize the award to JMU students and encourage them to participate. see award, page 5

warner | Senator speaks on importance of compromise during rally from front

support by Mark and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). The legislation would make amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965 and potentially allow students to make more informed choices when deciding upon colleges.

The senator said that students should come to college knowing their chances of graduation, expected debt and likelihood of getting a job in the same field as the degree they received. The legislation would add additional measurements to be calculated for students, such as the percent of students who receive federal grants or institutional loans from a higher education institution. “[We should] have an education system that says, ‘We ought to promote people to be carpenters, and electricians and technicians every bit as much as doctors and lawyers,’” Mark Warner said.

The topic of energy has also been on the mind of Virginia voters this election, and in particular the contentious debate over the proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline project. The proposal involves the construction of a 300-mile natural gas pipeline that is planned to run through parts of the state. While Mark Warner didn’t give an opinion on the proposal at Saturday’s rally, he believes similar projects of that caliber, like the Keystone XL pipeline, fall in line with efforts to reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil.

“That’s one of the reasons why — and I know we have disagreements in this room — we need to go ahead and export natural gas,” Mark Warner said. “I believe we need to build the Keystone Pipeline.

I believe we need to make sure we decouple Europe’s dependence on Russian oil and gas so they can become more independent.”

John Warner, a Republican, served as Virginia’s senator for five terms, from 1979 to 2009, when he decided not to seek re-election.

His retirement opened the door for Mark Warner to win in 2008 and secure a Senate seat for the Democrats. As the second-longest serving senator from Virginia, John Warner worked with various colleagues from both sides of the aisle.

The former senator recalled a time when Mark Warner was serving as governor of Virginia and reached out to him — asking for his Republican support to get certain things done for the state. John Warner said at the event that a solution to the partisan doggedness in Congress involves an effort toward bipartisan consensus and a method of compromise.

“In this room are people who have made their lives, done their businesses and you compromised as you went on,” John Warner said. “Many of you, like myself, are blessed with a good marriage. I make a compromise every day. I just don’t think there’s any more territory I can give up.”

Democratic City Council candidates Alleyn Harned and Chris Jones were also present at the event, and spoke moments before the

rally began. While both competitors are running for a local office, they encouraged audience members to get out and support the Democratic Party’s candidates on a local, state and federal level.

“We cannot just win on the presidential years and sit back and rest,” Jones said. “We have to win every time. We are Americans and we like to win. It is the fourth quarter, people, so show up!”

the Virginia Marriage Amendment — which maintains a definition of marriage as only between a man and a woman — and made an effort toward ending the ban on same-sex marriage altogether. At the rally, he talked about other initiatives that are being made by representatives to better the state.

“Working together, we have really helped move Virginia forward by fighting to make sure we address sexual violence on our college campuses, taking on the dangerous crisis of heroin and prescription drug abuse and working to make sure that Virginia is an open and welcoming place for all who would call our commonwealth home,” Herring said.

According to Real Clear Politics, a website that features election coverage and political articles, polls show that the Virginia U.S. Senate race is tightening between Mark Warner and Gillespie. A recent Christopher Newport University poll of 634 likely voters has Mark Warner ahead 51-44, with 2 percent in favor of Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis, 3 percent undecided, and a 3.4 percent margin of error.

John Warner said during the rally that he was committed to sending Mark Warner back to Washington, and has confidence in his integrity, honesty and ability to work with Republicans and Democrats in the Senate. John Warner told the crowd that the Virginia can’t lose the Senate seat to a Republican — tying his message to the homecoming festivities happening around JMU. “I mean there’s going to be a football game here this afternoon at James Madison,” John Warner said. “You guys ask the coach: Does he want any turnovers? Do we want a turnover in the Senate?”

Following the event in Harrisonburg, Herring, Mark Warner and John Warner made their way to Charlottesville where they were joined by Gov. Terry McAuliffe for a rally at the University of Virginia. On Monday at 5 p.m., Gillespie is expected to make an appearance for a rally at the local GOP headquarters at 182 Neff Avenue in Harrisonburg.

Polling locations are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4, and a valid photo ID must be presented to vote. JAC cards are acceptable. contact Patrick Mortiere at breezenews@gmail.com.

The Faculty Senate will be voting on the award and deciding on how to use their extra $5,000 during Thursday’s meeting. from page 3

If members of the Faculty Senate vote in favor of the proposal, the SGA would also incorporate the award into their Faculty Appreciation Week, which takes place at the end of each semester.

“Normally, [during Faculty Appreciation week] we try to increase awareness for understanding the importance of faculty and we’re hoping to bring this award, during this time, to really help nominate some faculty that are deserving of this award,” Guendert said.

This one-time educational grant can be used by the faculty member however he or she pleases.

SGA will in turn be expected to tie in the voting with the vision statement. The voting process and outcome will be directly influenced by the SGA and JMU students, who will vote and decide on the specific criteria.

“So the idea is that students, possibly through SGA, would

come up with a list for criteria of excellence in teaching,” Piper, who is also in charge of the task force that was put together to help create ideas for the Senate to promote the new vision statement, said.

Piper also said that the voting is based on the criteria that the students and SGA have chosen because their views are valuable to the Faculty Senate.

Due to faculty compensation challenges, this award would potentially raise the morale of the faculty, according to Piper.

Additionally, one of the expectations of the faculty members who are nominated is to write a short personal “statement of pedagogy”, about their teaching, according to Piper.

Piper said that in this required philosophical piece, the professor would explain the best practices they bring to their classroom, — including how they help students, teach undergraduate research and use technology-service research.

The statement would provide teaching faculty at JMU a practical

source for successful teaching methods that reach students on a deeper level.

According to Guendert, the Faculty Senate hasn’t decided where the $5,000 that won’t be given to winners of the award is going.

“They have a list of possible ideas for the other $5,000, but it definitely surrounds getting students more politically engaged, such as … a possible newsletter or ideas for students getting engaged on campus,” Guendert said.

Guendert also said the Faculty Senate will discuss other ideas for spending the $5,000 and will vote on The Madison Vision Teaching Excellence Award at their Faculty Senate meeting this Thursday.

The Student Government Association is expected to determine voting methods and procedures for the award at a later date. contact Ian Munro and Erin Flynn at breezenews@gmail.com.

Modern Madison

Blair Rosen / The Breeze

J Maddy Fact: James Madison is technically “James Madison Jr.” since his father’s name was also James Madison.

Kevan Hulligan | the war room

54 years later ...

The 1960 U.S. trade embargo on Cuba is still in effect — and for no good reason It’s one of the oldest relics of the Cold War, alongside the Korean Demilitarization Zone.

Some say it’s pointless and others say it needs to stay.

It’s the U.S. embargo on Cuba, and once again the world has called on the U.S. to bring it to a close.

The United Nations has, for the 23rd time in its history, called for the U.S. to end the embargo that it first instituted against Cuba in 1960. On Oct. 28, 188 nations voted in the General Assembly against the embargo, with Israel as the only nation voting with the U.S. Other countries who voted include India, Brazil and Colombia. More voices have come forward following the U.N. vote, with the Editorial Board of The New York Times publishing a well-researched column in favor of ending the embargo. Personally, I feel that the embargo is both unnecessary and ludicrous in these modern times.

Let’s not kid ourselves — the Cuban government isn’t the greatest example of how to run a country with respect to human rights.

Dissidents are jailed and voices against the government have been silenced with regularity.

A single party with a single ruler owns the entire country. You know who else does that sort of thing? China. Want another example?

Vietnam. A country with a similar political structure? Saudi Arabia. But the U.S. trades regularly with them, despite their terrible records in both human rights and political pluralism.

The U.S. looks ridiculous embargoing Cuba, and the rest of the world has not hesitated in letting us know that our policy cannot go on.

Can we really be taken seriously when we embargo Cuba due to its political structure while China continues to repress people in Hong Kong? Does it make sense to try and isolate Cuba from the market while we traded $81 billion in goods and services in 2012 to Saudi Arabia alone, a country that recently beheaded a woman under charges of “witchcraft?” We went to war in Vietnam, losing 536,100 American lives in the process, and somehow we have the ability to trade with them afterwards.

There are even people who are critical of

the Cuban regime and dissidents who hold the opinion that it hurts the average Cuban citizen more than it does anyone working for the government. The embargo has aided in the lack of Internet access in the country, which undermines the U.S. goal of moving Cuba toward a state more open with access to information.

Acting as if there are insurmountable differences between the U.S. and Cuba that render free trade impossible just seems naïve in this day and age.

Ending this embargo won’t just benefit Cubans. This could potentially open up new markets for our businesses and bring in goods that were previously banned. Cuba has large supplies of sugar, steel, tobacco and oil that could do plenty of good in U.S. markets.

Cuba has already begun the movement toward opening up its markets and loosening government control of the economy, so we could potentially see the arrival of American businesses in Havana with the removal of the embargo.

Overall it would just be smart foreign policy.

The U.S. looks ridiculous embargoing Cuba, and the rest of the world has not hesitated in letting us know that our policy cannot go on.

It’s not just a boys’ club A friendly reminder that women can be sports fans too Earlier this month, Men’s Health Magazine took us back a few decades with its article “The Secret to Talking Sports With Any Woman.” The article, which has since been deleted, suggested that a woman couldn’t possibly care about sports because there are no storylines to follow and that they simply “just don’t care about stats.”

It didn’t take long for social media to attack the magazine, causing a major stir and invoking the need for some serious damage control, and I can see why.

It’s bad enough that women barely have a say in their own reproductive rights and make a mere 77 cents per every man’s dollar; now we’re being told what activities we do and do not like.

Assuming that women need to be emotionally invested in something to take an interest in it is stereotypical, misogynistic and quite frankly, a load of crap.

According to BuzzFeed, one in three sports fans are women. I’ve been a huge sports fan for as long as I can remember and trust me, it has nothing to do with any players’ wife, kids or how good his butt looks in football pants.

Sports have always been a part of my life, whether I was playing them, attending games or spending Sunday in front of the TV watching them.

Yes, I can spot a false start before the

ref throws the flag and no, I don’t fill out my March Madness bracket based on mascot or jersey color.

I, like anyone else, am perfectly capable of understanding the concepts behind sports and actually enjoying them. Regardless of my gender, I can root for my teams and talk trash about others, and I should be able to do so without being quizzed on the team’s history or naming five players from the starting roster.

It’s no secret that there’s a division between men and women in society, but where do we draw the line? It’s bad enough that women barely have a say in their own reproductive rights and make a mere 77 cents per every man’s dollar; now we’re being told what activities we do and do not like.

It wasn’t until 1920 that women began to have a say in anything regarding their own lives by gaining the right to vote, but other things such as participating in higher education, having a job or choosing whether or not to have children? Forget it. While the women’s rights movement has progressed since then, articles like “The Secret to Talking Sports With Any Woman” are prime examples of how women are still seen as inferior and unable to take part in “male activities.”

Accepting women as serious sports fans is a step in the right direction toward gender equality, because believe it or not, women are people too.

Men shouldn’t feel intimidated by a woman who is knowledgeable about sports, and should instead appreciate the fact that they can watch a game with their female friends without having to think twice about it.

Tyler Morris | contributing columnist

The great unknown Post-grad stress can be dealt with while still in school As college students, we are found standing at the precipice of our future.

Some of us hesitantly look down into the abyss with the fear of the unknown, firmly holding us back. Others eagerly gain their bearings, preparing — fully or prematurely — to jump right in and explore everything that the abyss has to offer. Regardless of our personal feelings toward the subject of the future, it’s upon us.

But where does this wide range of feelings come from? We are all currently in the same boat, so why do we see each of our horizons in such different lights?

Life after college is littered with uncertainty. For this, we can thank (among other things) the tumultuous state of the economy, the lessening relevance of an education that ends at the achievement of a bachelor’s degree and a job market that prefers the knowledge of a professional discipline to that of arts and letters.

These facts — yes, facts — should clearly exemplify that we are powerless to change the realities that catalyze our hesitations while standing on the precipice.

Then all is lost, right? You should just put down this article and lay down your arms in the battle against the future?

Wrong. There is one definitive factor in this equation that we have complete control of, despite our competences in math: us, the students of a university, the next generation, the batters on deck. We have a tighter grip on the reigns of our future than we initially give ourselves credit for.

We are pursuing higher education: Although the degrees we are working toward hold a lower standard than they did in previous years, we are still active participants in higher education.

We have the chance to become members of the scholarly elite. With that being the case, take advantage of it. Make your years here count by obtaining as much elevated knowledge as you possibly can with your rations of caffeine and sleep.

We have goals: Success cannot be achieved if we choose to mindlessly walk the endless corridors of life.

Therefore, it’s imperative that we have goals. Much like our essays and research papers need a thesis, our paths in life need goals in order to be concise and driven in our pursuit. If you feel that you do not have a goal, take a moment to think about the things you love most and apply that to a possible career goal. If you love books, write one.

If you love medicine, be a doctor. Being passionate about the goal makes the journey exponentially more enjoyable.

Success cannot be achieved if we choose to mindlessly walk the endless corridors of life. Therefore, it is imperative that we have goals. Much like our essays and research papers need a thesis, our paths in life need goals in order to be concise and driven in our pursuit.

We have the chance to network: Here at JMU, we are standing alongside more than 18,000 other students. This doesn’t include the massive amount of faculty and staff members who also have potential connections.

Tell everyone around you why you are here and where you want to eventually be. Get talking to those who bleed purple — they just might know your next employer.

The winds of uncertainty may be howling as we stand here on the precipice of our future, but when we look down into the dark and wonderful unknown, one thing is for sure: There is a bottom. How we attempt to get there is entirely up to us.

Early in the following May, they invested in another. By the end of the summer, the bee population had exploded to more than 40,000. The Lehmullers can’t consume all of the honey themselves; they give the excess away to family and friends and always make sure to bring some to JMU when they come to visit.

A family who moved in next door shortly after the bees arrived were fascinated by the Lehmullers’ hobby.

“One of their kids saw us walking around and thought we were astronauts,” George said.

To “sweeten things,” Lehmuller brought them honey.

Their JMU daughters are Louise, a senior marketing and media arts and design double major, and Marilyn, a freshman engineering major. They have contrasting feelings toward the bees.

A nightmare scarier than treadmills Fifth annual ‘Nightmare at UREC’ boasts student and faculty volunteers, from zombies to magicians

By KAYLA RINI contributing writer

The moon shone brightly against the dark sky while students dressed as ghouls, food and TV characters ventured to “Nightmare at UREC.” The fifth annual event took place on Thursday at the university recreation center and ran into the early morning hours of Halloween.

The event kicked off Halloween and homecoming weekend by bringing this idea to life for faculty and students.

According to Aaron Combs, the assistant director for UREC, the theme was “The UREC Horror Story: Eight Levels of Fear.” In addition to an eight level haunted house, there was a magician, DJ and free food and refreshments.

The event featured a bouncy castle obstacle course, an inflatable wrecking ball, competitive games such as cornhole and frisbee golf, a dance floor with neon lights and a Halloween costume contest. The DJ played a variety of songs, including flashbacks like “Monster Mash” as well as popular songs like Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off.” Many students had various favorite aspects of the night.

“My favorite part of the event was the inflatable obstacle course,” Kenny Shaughnessy, a freshman chemistry and physics double major dressed in a bacon costume, said.

The haunted house was no doubt a popular attraction, with eight levels of different scary themes. There was a “Hoppy Land” level featuring cannibal rabbits, another

titled “Hall of Whispers” with ghouls whispering to the guests, and other levels featuring classic scares such as dolls, hillbillies, masks, doctors, cannibal clowns and zombies.

“This is my first time here at this event, and it’s been great. I love the haunted house because of all the people in scary costumes and effects,” Kacie Bornheimer, a junior psychology major dressed as Cersei from HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” said.

“When you first walk onto the floor of the haunted house, you think it’s not going to be scary but then you end up getting freaked out.”

Melanie McLaughlin freshman math major and haunted house “zombie”

The various levels of the haunted house were designed to be unsuspectingly scary.

“When you first walk onto the floor of the haunted house, you think it’s not going to be scary but then you end up getting freaked out,” Melanie McLaughlin, a freshman

math major working as a zombie for the haunted house, said. “The titles of the level are meant to be deceiving.”

Tours began at 9:30 p.m., as groups of people walked through every 45 seconds to two minutes, and finished around 1 a.m.

“It was so much fun to work in the haunted house,” McLaughlin said, “The time flew by.”

Chris Mack, a senior music education major dressed as Harry Potter and a third-timer at Nightmare at UREC, has seen the event go through ups and downs.

“It depends how scary the haunted house is, but this year it was really cool,” Mack said. “It’s always fun.”

All of the hard work put in to transform UREC into a house of scares seemed to pay off.

“Absolutely this event is a lot of fun,” Mack said. “Hauntingly fun.”

Eddie Tobey, the computer technician for JMU’s Card Services and magician. It was his second year performing at this event. His tricks included “sawing” a volunteer in half and a guillotine trick, where the blade from the guillotine passed through the female volunteer’s neck, without actually harming her. Although he works at Card Services full time, entertaining is a hobby that Tobey loves.

He’s worked at JMU for almost five years and performs his magic tricks at Buffalo Wild Wings every Monday.

“This is where my heart is, entertaining,” Tobey said. “I so love what I do and JMU too.”

Dukes take exhibition game as opportunity to learn despite the 79-76 loss By wayne epps jr.

The Breeze

Division II Philadelphia University might’ve surprised some on Sunday, as it handed JMU its first loss in seven years in the two teams’ preseason exhibition series.

But for a JMU team in transition, head coach Matt Brady wasn’t concerned about the loss, but instead was focused on the opportunity to learn and get better ahead JMU’s season opener against the No. 9-ranked University of Virginia on Nov. 14.

In what was a close and back-and-forth contest throughout, JMU sophomore forward Palius Satkus fouled Philadelphia sophomore forward Derek Johnson behind the three-point line with 2.2 seconds left in a 76-76 game.

Johnson sunk all three of his shots and the Rams held on to win 79-76 at the Convocation Center.

“The final score in this game, to me, is not what we’re trying to get out of this,” Brady said. “We would have liked to have won the game, [Philadelphia] deserved to win the game because they made more plays. But I like where our group is emotionally.”

Despite the late foul, a bright spot for the Dukes was Satkus, who started and finished with 20 points and nine rebounds. He was 10-12 from the field and didn’t miss a

shot until halfway through the second half. He was a reliable option for JMU down low.

“He’s bigger, stronger and a better shooter than he was a year ago,” Brady said of Satkus.

“The final score in this game, to me, is not what we’re trying to get out of this.

Sophomore forward Yohanny Dalembert joined Satkus in JMU’s starting frontcourt. Dalembert put up 14 points and five rebounds in 34 minutes of play. Brady said there’s still a lot for both of those players to get better at.

For one, Brady didn’t agree with Dalembert’s decision to shoot a jumper with 37 seconds to play and the game tied at 76. He would’ve liked to have seen the 6-foot-8-inch, 225pound Dalembert drive to the basket in that situation and at least draw a foul. “[Philadelphia was] having a hard time staying in front

of him,” Brady said. “We want to put [Dalembert] in the middle of the floor with a chance to drive it … He made a mental mistake and [took] a jump shot. Next time he’s in that situation, I’m sure he won’t do that.”

Dalembert and Satkus combined for 2.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game and an average of 10.3 minutes per game played last season. Dalembert appeared in 28 games, starting one. Satkus appeared in 14 with no starts.

Though JMU has only two returning starters and seven newcomers, Brady is pleased with the chemistry he sees.

The Dukes moved the ball around effectively Sunday, with 18 total assists on 30 baskets. Four players had double-digit scoring numbers, including Satkus, Dalembert, sophomore guard Jackson Kent with 14 and junior guard Winston Grays with 12.

Junior guard Ron Curry and freshman guard Joey McLean had seven assists apiece to lead JMU. “That’s something we work on every day,” Curry said of their chemistry. “The chemistry is there, you can obviously work on it, but the chemistry, for the most part, I feel like everybody is there.”

Curry, one of the two returning starters from last year’s team, fouled out with about three minutes to play. He see basketball, page 12

Double Take

What’s really America’s sports league?

MLB always has and always will be America’s league

By Stephen Proffitt The Breeze

Today we are welcoming a new element to the sports desk, the “Double Take” dual column.

I think context is necessary for you to fully understand my relationship with Ryan Fraser. When we were sarcastic freshmen, the two of us constantly bonded over sports, and the setting of these debates rarely changed.

Lengthy discussions over dinner at D-Hall would make their way back to Hillside 1C where we would bicker, rant and support one another in a variety of athletic topics as I lost every single Xbox FIFA match I ever attempted.

Last year we took our boisterous thoughts to the airwaves on WXJM with “Around the Quad Sports,” and now we have the great fortune of debating through print.

So, what is America’s sports league? While it took me less than 30 seconds to be confident with my answer, I did give everyone a fair chance. Major League Baseball has and always will be America’s sports league and no, I will not use the word “pastime” in my reasoning for trite purposes. However, that doesn’t mean I won’t completely refrain from speaking of baseball in a romantically cliche tone.

Friends are always there for you. Baseball is that friend who reminds you of the great times

in history while never leaving your side. From the beginning of April until the end of October, nine men take the field, inning after inning. Scuffed white leather reacts with the melodious sound of engraved Louisville lumber. Thousands fill the stands as one season and one campaign for a World Series title spans the course of three calendrical seasons.

Streaks, sometimes fluid, other times barren, are etched into statistical books more organized than the Chamber of Commerce.

Certainly, steroids and conservatism remain an imperfect smudge on a holy canvas, but we must move on. The institution of replay shows progress.

Continual investigations into cheating show the pursuit for justice. All is well in the land of smooth infields and plush outfields.

For me, the NFL was out first, since an offensive lineman couldn’t make it 60 feet up the first base line before being thrown out. And because of a multitude of head traumas, it took him a few seconds to realize the ball was in play. A fielder’s choice was made on the National Hockey League at second base. And at third base, the National Basketball Association argued about whether they were tagged out or if it was just another inconvenient reach-in foul.

Finally, baseball was safe at home. No replay needed.

Stats show that the NFL is the true top dog

By Ryan Fraser contributing writer

I know my compadre will disagree with me because he thinks the National Football League is what’s bringing down American culture, but you can’t argue with the facts.

I’ll start off by saying that I am not am not biased to the NFL. Unlike many people, I don’t live and die with my fantasy teams. I don’t spend my summers wondering who the Pats are going to pick up off the waiver wire.

However, no sport is even close to touching the “No Fun League” with popularity.

The Harris Poll has conducted a survey every year since 1985, and every year the NFL has been voted the most popular sport in America, taking the vote this year with 35 percent compared to the MLB’s 14 percent.

They have turned a 16-game season into a year-round event. Think about it; you turn on ESPN and its lead story is always the NFL, and half the time it’s Adam Schefter reporting that the backup running back for the Dolphins may be questionable because he was seen coughing when leaving practice.

I think the popularity of the sport is a reflection of our instant-gratification society.

In general, the NFL has a quick season, with only 16 games per team, and a maximum of four more if they make the playoffs. Plus, all the games are on Sunday, Monday or Thursday, so it’s easy to plan to watch the games.

Having games only three days a week also increases your interest and makes you want it more because it’s so limited. You don’t need a large attention span to watch a game.

A study conducted by The Wall Street Journal found that an NFL game only has 11 minutes of actual play. Compare that to a baseball game, where an inning can last as long as the second act of “Hamlet.”

Stephen and I have talked about how the only thing that will destroy the NFL will be the NFL itself. Concussions and the images of its players are big problems, but even with the outcry, I never once heard somebody say, “That’s it, I’m putting up my Peyton Manning jersey.”

Eventually something will come along to displace the NFL off its throne, but that could be decades away. Baseball was America’s pastime from the 1900s until the 1980s, but ever since then, the U.S. of A has been dominated by the NFL. Contact Ryan Fraser at fraserrc@dukes.jmu.edu.

finished with four points, four rebounds and the seven assists in 23 minutes after getting the start.

Defense is going to be the biggest spot where the Dukes need to improve before playing U.Va., particularly in containment. Brady said that Philadelphia caught JMU’s defense in mismatch situations because of the Dukes’ rotations.

The Rams would penetrate to the basket, pass the ball back out and have favorable matchups while JMU worked to get in position.

“I thought our defense hurt us more than our offense let us down,” Brady said.

JMU was up 74-70 with 1:45 to play Sunday when a three-pointer

by Johnson cut it to 74-73. Satkus then had a put-back score with about a minute left to draw it back out to 76-73 for JMU. But Philadelphia’s freshman guard Jordan DeCicco tied it with a threepointer of his own with about a minute to play before Johnson later sealed it at the free-throw line after the Satkus foul.

“I guess we just have to be mentally more focused,” Satkus said.

“And it starts with me, because I made [the] same mistake as I made all game long. I think we just have to be a little bit mentally-tougher.”

The iteration of the Dukes that came out Sunday was not exactly what they’ll have for the majority of the season. Brady mentioned that there are a lot more answers coming. Sophomore forward Ivan Lukic and freshman forward Hari Hall sat out with injuries and will be back soon.

Junior guard Andre Nation, the other returning starter, and sophomore forward Tom Vodanovich are out with suspensions of five and two games respectively.

Brady thought there were more positives than negatives to take away from Sunday’s game. And for the players, it felt good just to get back out and play ball publicly for the first time in almost seven months.

“The season’s back, it’s something we’ve been looking forward to,” Curry said. “It’s obviously not the result we wanted … We’re just looking forward to playing the next game now, the next one’s a big game so we’re just going to keep working every day.”

resist, I had to throw it,” Lee said. “So credit [DeAndre’], credit the O-line for holding up on the protection. It was just an awesome play call by coach, and we executed.”

On JMU’s previous drive, 6-foot-5-inch redshirt senior wide receiver Daniel Brown leaped while on the run and brought down a Lee pass in the end zone to make it a one-point game. Brown finished with a career-high 128 yards receiving and the one touchdown on eight catches, his first career 100-yard game.

JMU didn’t score a rushing touchdown for the first time all season, but largely thanks to the receivers, it wouldn’t matter. Head coach Everett Withers said the receiving corps might’ve been the worst in the country when he was first hired at the end of last year, but they’ve made great strides.

“I think those guys have just grown each week, they’ve just gotten better and better,” Withers said. “They love the game, they care about each other, they work tremendously hard in practice. They know if they work hard, [Lee] will get the ball to them.”

Saturday was also the second game of the season in which the Dukes took the lead for good with less than a minute to play. The first was redshirt junior Ryan Maglio’s 34-yard field goal with four seconds left at the University at Albany early last month. Withers credits that resiliency to the 5:45 a.m. workouts he and his staff put the team through back in January and February.

“We put our guys in some really, really hard environments,” Withers said. “We gave them a lot of hard things, when they had to get off their back to win … We tried to break this team back in January of the, ‘It’s alright to lose.’ To pat a guy on the back when you lose. It ain’t alright to lose.”

But unfortunately for the Dukes, their overall offensive production matched the weather out of the gate. For a team that entered the game with one of the top-10 rushing attacks in the country among Football Championship Subdivision schools, JMU was held to single digit and even negative rushing yard totals for much of the first half.

According to William & Mary’s 35th-year head coach Jimmye Laycock, the success of his defensive front was the reason for JMU’s struggles on the ground. Those players up front disrupted JMU’s offensive line allowing Tribe linebackers to go in and make the stops.

JMU totaled just 144 yards of offense in the first half and settled for a pair of field goals by redshirt junior Ryan Maglio. The Dukes trailed 10-6 at halftime, and Withers acknowledged after the game that the offense “stunk” in the first half.

The difference in the second half was a consistent improvement in offensive tempo. That’s what the Dukes’ no-huddle attack relies on.

“We didn’t do a very good job early in the game with our

tempo,” Withers said. “That’s who we are on offense … We were trying to find our way a little bit in the first quarter, first quarter-and-a-half.”

Things finally came together for JMU in its second drive of the third quarter. With just 21 total rushing yards up until that point, the Dukes were able to get the run game going on the way to scoring their first touchdown at 13-10 with 7:25 left in the quarter.

A William & Mary touchdown pass late in the third quarter, and a bizarre blocked punt near the end zone that was returned two yards for a touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter, took the wind out of JMU’s sails for a bit. The Tribe was all of a sudden up 24-13 with 14:55 left to play.

But Maglio’s third field goal and then the touchdown catches

by Brown and Smith swung the game back in JMU’s favor. Overall, James chung / the breeze the Dukes outgained the Tribe 301 Redshirt senior wide receiver Daniel Brown hauls in a touchdown pass in Saturday’s win over the yards to 157 yards in the second half.
