President-Elect Jon Alger has hit the mark in his third run for a university presidency.
On July , Alger will become the sixth president of JMU with his election by the Board of Visitors on Monday.
“In Jonathan Alger, we feel we have found the individual who ... is well positioned to lead our uni-versity,” said James Hartman, BOV rector.
Vince Moore, spokesman for Furman University, said Alger was one of two � nalists in the presiden-tial search for Furman University in South Carolina during the - academic year. Alger was also a � nalist at Binghamton University in New York during its presidential search during the - school year.
Moore wasn’t sure why Alger wasn’t selected for the position.
Alger is currently the senior vice president and general counsel at Rutgers University in New Jer-sey, a job he will be leaving to move to Virginia. Alger has a law degree from Harvard Law School and oversaw all legal a� airs for Rutgers University in his seven-year tenure there. He also teaches two undergraduate classes.
Before his time at Rutgers, Alger was the assis-tant general counsel for the University of Michigan. � ere, he was part of the school’s legal team during its Supreme Court cases Gratz v. Bollinger and Grut-ter v. Bollinger.
The lawsuits were leveled at the undergradu-ate and law school admissions policies because of perceived injustice in the use of race during the admissions process. � e outcome of the cases allowed a� rmative action to be used in higher edu-cation admissions policies.
Previously, Don Egle, university spokesman, had said the Board of Visitors would select the president by January or February. Students were informed of the announcement of a new president by an early-morning mass email on Monday morning.
� e announcement came as a surprise to junior Matt McKeon, a business major.
“I wish we had gotten more of a heads-up,” McKe-on said.
Students expressed hope for Alger’s presidency and what it might bring to JMU.
Hannah Brecker, a freshman international busi-ness major, was impressed by Alger’s speech.
“Alger appears to be all about diversity in gener-al and especially now at JMU,” Brecker said. “I am looking forward to see how he will make our own university more diverse.”
Alger has been involved with multiple diversity initiatives and has chaired national conferences on diversity and discrimination.
“� e engaged university must be open and acces-sible to individuals of all backgrounds,” Alger said in his acceptance speech Monday. “Diversity and excellence go hand in hand.”
Freshman Joey Mazzara, a music major and Exit
member, said he would like Alger to bring music majors into more prominence, particularly because Alger has sung with internationally touring choral groups.
“I anticipate Alger putting more emphasis on music in general and giving more publicity,” Maz-zara said. “� ere are so many talented musicians here at JMU.”
Some faculty members declined to comment on Alger’s selection, saying they didn’t know enough about Alger to do so, but Jorge Juan Nieto Cano looks forward to the future.
“I hope that Alger will continue to uphold James Madison’s reputation for its excellent teaching and other great qualities,” said Cano, a Spanish professor.
Alger traveled back to Rutgers after Monday’s announcement, but Egle said Alger has been working closely with the BOV and is currently in communi-cation with President Linwood Rose. � ere will be a formal inaugural ceremony, but the date right now is unknown.
“It’s a great thing to have these seven months to transition. During these months he will be collabo-rating with the Board of Visitors and Dr. Rose,” Egle said. “More information about important dates will be coming up, but right now, there are no events that include Alger set in stone.”
While working as the senior vice president and general counsel at Rutger’s, Alger’s annual salary was $,, according to � e Collegiate Times. Rose’s salary is $, annually, but Alger’s contract is still a work in progress, Egle said.
Egle said that the board received hundreds of nominations and formal applications for the presidency. � e information of those who applied will be kept con� dential.
“Jonathan Alger’s speech here at JMU when he was announced as the sixth president made me anx-ious, but in a really positive way,” said Mike Sorgi, a sophomore public policy and administration major. “I’m looking forward to seeing what he will do.”
And from the sound of it, Alger is, too.“The challenges are great, but the oppor-
tunities are greater,” he said. “I look forward to working with all of you at the dawn of this next century for James Madison University.”

� e Nov. accident at the intersec-tion of Bluestone and Carrier drives, that resulted in the death of freshman Jane Hwang left the JMU community reeling, but it also opened up a dia-logue about on-campus safety.
Reggie Smith, the director of the Harrisonburg Department of Public Transportation, said that there have been no changes to bus routes since the accident.
Hwang was hit by a bus at : p.m. that night. Hwang was walking during a “do not cross” signal. Charges against bus driver Kathryn Deavers won’t be � led, according to Sgt. F.L. Tyler of the Virginia State Police.
“We had post-accident discussions, but we haven’t changed our safety training or anything in particular at this point,” Smith said.
� e department is always striving to improve in terms of safety, and the move by JMU to put in the tra� c gates had been a safety change, Smith said.
� e bus drivers received numerous debriefings the whole day after the accident and later that night for the drivers who drove the night route.
Smith said the debrie� ngs included grief counselors.
“We’re all human beings, too, and you hate something like this to hap-pen,” Smith said. “It’s a tragic thing.”
Smith was perturbed when asked whether buses would be using the
intersection with as much frequency.“Where would you want us to go?”
Smith asked. “We haul , passen-gers a day, we got to go places.”
Sophomore Cate Mundy, a com-munication studies major, said pedestrians feel like they own the cam-pus, but so do drivers.
“I think there should be more light-ed crosswalks,” Mundy said, “but it’s also our responsibility as pedestrians or drivers to be watchful.”
Don Egle, university spokesman, said there will be no infrastructure changes because everything was working correctly before the tragic accident.
“You can expect to see more edu-cational programming coming out in the spring semester as a reminder to everyone,” Egle said.
Egle was vague in describing the plans, only mentioning possibly work-ing with pamphlets discussing safety.
Junior Spencer Wilson, a music major, thinks that the university’s response was adequate and it’s stu-dents’ responsibility to watch out for what they’re doing when they’re cross-ing streets.
“� at being said, I think the univer-sity could do a better job distinguishing tra� c markings, especially on Carrier Drive,” Wilson said. “� ere are two dif-ferent opposing tra� c lines, and I have trouble distinguishing between them.”

Suicide bomb hits Iraq’s Green Zone; fi rst since 2007McClatchy Newspapers
BAGHDAD — An explosion Monday in Baghdad’s Green Zone was in fact a suicide car bomb that detonated at the entrance to the parliament building and killed � ve people, o� cials revealed Tuesday. that Iraqi o� cials at � rst attributed the blast to a rocket that landed harmlessly in a parking lot.
� e admission that a suicide car bomber had penetrated the forti� ed Green Zone, the � rst suicide attack there since April , sent a wave of concern across the capital about the abilities, and loyalties, of Iraq’s security agencies.
The attack targeted the speaker of parliament, Osama al-Nujaifi, according to al-Nujaifi’s spokesman. The speaker wasn’t injured.
Entry into the Green Zone, where Iraqi government o� c-es and the U.S. Embassy are, is strictly controlled. Vehicles that enter the area are sub-jected to thorough searches that include a review by dogs trained to discover explosives.
Only people who are car-rying high-security badges that are either green or blue can avoid the search. Passen-gers without such clearances must present other identi� ca-tion and are required to leave the vehicle while it’s being searched.
� e explosion, which went o� at : p.m., could be heard and felt at McClatchy News-papers’ offices several miles away.
“If security inside the Green Zone can be compromised in such a way, then what about security in general?” said a high-ranking parliament o� -cial, who asked not to be identified because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly. “� is is not an ordi-nary breach. � is is a scandal.”
Worry about security has been growing in Baghdad as the deadline nears for the com-plete withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. Fewer than
, Americans remain in the country and all are expect-ed to be out before Dec. .
As the drawdown has con-tinued, violence has risen steadily. More than people have been killed in violence in Baghdad so far in November; the number for October was .
Ministry of Interior o� cials, whose forces are responsi-ble for protecting the Green Zone, o� ered no explanation for how an explosives-laden vehicle made it past securi-ty checkpoints. On Monday, and throughout much of Tues-day, ministry o� cials said the explosion had been a rock-et. They didn’t respond to requests for comment after the true nature of the explo-sion became public.
“The security authorities cannot admit it was a suicide bomber because they would lose face,” the high-ranking parliament o� cial said.
Details of the attack were made public by Aiden Hilmi, al-Nujaifi’s media adviser, who disclosed what had taken place after a growing number of news reports cited unnamed people who had witnessed the events before the explosion.
Hilmi said the suicide bomber was driving a black GMC SUV, the same color and make used by al-Nujai� ’s motorcade. Hilmi said the bomber attempted to join the motorcade inside the parlia-ment grounds, but that guards stopped him and demand-ed identification badges. He backed up, changed direction and hit a curb. � at’s when the car exploded.
A source from the Iraqi police, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because he isn’t authorized to talk to journalists, said the explosion had killed or wounded � ve people. Among the wounded was parliament member Muayyad al Tayib, a spokesman for the Kurdish coalition in parliament.
� e last suicide bombing in the Green Zone also targeted parliament. On that occasion, a man wearing an explosive belt detonated himself in the cafeteria reserved for par-liament members and their sta� s. � ree members of par-liament and � ve other people were killed and people were wounded.

Steven Moody, 26, of Staunton was arrested Monday for allegedly setting fire to a Boston Beanery.
A trial date has been set for Ste-ven Moody, 26, of Staunton. Moody was arrested Monday morning, by fire marshals from the Harrisonburg Fire Department. Moody was charged with one count of arson and t w o c o u n t s of larceny for allegedly set-ting fire to the office area of Boston Bean-ery, located at 1625 E. Mar-ket Street, at around 5 a.m. on Nov. 16.
No one was injured dur-ing the early morning fire, according to Capt. Arthur Miller, the deputy fire marshal.
“I can’t speculate on his motive to set the fire,” Miller said.
The fire caused an estimated $250 in damage, and it was discovered during the investigation that $1,100 in cash was missing.
On Aug. 10 there was a separate inci-dent at the business in which $1,200 cash was taken.
Moody, an employee of Boston Beanery during the incidents, has been charged for both of them.
Moody was being held at the Rock-ingham County Jail, but has been released on recognizance, according to Rockingham County General Dis-trict Court records.
Moody’s hearing is set for Dec. 12 at 9 a.m.

Man charged in fire, theft
By sEan ByrnE The Breeze
Historically, mobs bring destruc-tion and chaos, but as a way to get extra credit and give back to the community, four students in GBIO 103 have joined a mob that actually plans to benefit the community.
Through “Carrotmob,” business-es make “green” changes to promote sustainability, instead of organizing protests or signing petitions. The move-ment originated in California and gets its name from the notion of using a “carrot instead of the stick” to enact change.
Sophomores Hannah Flanders, Nik Arur and Jonathan Vargas along with freshman Gaby Edwards organized
Harrisonburg’s Carrotmob project.Carrotmob organizes groups of peo-
ple to make an agreement with local businesses. The mob agrees to bring the particular business more custom-ers and in exchange, the business sets aside a certain portion of the profits to make the store more sustainable.
Flanders, a history and social work double major, started a local Carrot-mob campaign in Harrisonburg to benefit the store Artisans’ Hope, locat-ed next to A Bowl of Good on Mount Clinton Pike. The store sells a wide variety of goods, ranging from pottery to food, to woodwork and woven items.
The Carrotmob will take place at Arti-sans’ Hope on Monday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The store has agreed to spend a certain amount of the profit adding
sustainable features to the building. “With the 15 percent they set aside,
they are going to try and get motion sensor lights for their back rooms,” Flanders said, “as well as replace the toilet to get better water usage.”
Edwards, a communication sciences and disorders major, said sustainability affects our future.
“Since being able to completely stop using nonrenewable resources is just unreasonable,” Edwards said, “we need to start introducing alternatives to help minimize the energy crisis.”
Carrotmob has spread to more than 25 countries around the world, accord-ing to its website.
Brad Burrow, the manager of Arti-sans’ Hope, has high ‘hopes’ for the project’s benefits.
“I’m hoping for more education and using the profits to put into improve-ments,” Burrow said. “This gives us better ideas of what we can continue to do and practices we can try and main-tain here.”
Before choosing Artisans’ Hope, the students conducted research on stores around Harrisonburg to see which one would be the best fit with their objectives.
The group selected Artisans’ Hope based on the price range of products, percentage the store was willing to give and the willingness of Harrisonburg residents to visit the store Flanders explained.
The store participates in the fair trade model by selling items made by less fortunate people in a market place
that can afford the goods.“It gives them a sustainable way of
living and gives them money for basics we take for granted, like clean water,” Burrow said. “It gives them a way of life and not just a handout.”
Before choosing Artisans’ Hope, Flanders and her group narrowed their selection down to four stores.
Flanders said each store received an energy audit from local auditor Net-Impact. The audit determined whether energy was being wasted, how much, and what could be done to improve sustainability.
The results helped the group decide which store out of the

name changes to north campus buildingsTemporary names for the North Campus have been decided, according to Bill Wyatt, public affairs manager. North Campus is located at the old Rockingham Memorial hospital. The West Tower will be named Constitution Hall, the East Tower will be named Montpelier Hall and the former RMH cancer center will be named Madison Hall. Montpelier Hall will be the location of the new student health center. Wyatt said the names are subject to change.

Jones to plead guilty to fraud chargesAndrew Lewis Jones, 19, plans to plead guilty to posing as a JMU student and stealing the credit cards of students he befriended while attending meetings of the College Republicans, according to a Rockingham County Court representative. Jones is charged with 12 felonies of credit card fraud and larceny and one misdemeanor. Jones will enter guilty pleas to 11 felonies and the misdemeanor, according to a signed plea agreement filed Monday in Rockingham County Circuit Court. The other felony will be dropped. Jones is scheduled to appear in the Rockingham County Circuit Court Dec. 12, according to Rockingham Country Circuit Court Records.
Giving back over Thanksgiving
SamaNtha mcdoNald / the Breeze
Group works to help homeless through restaurant and career classes
By KElsEy BECKEttcontributing writer
Not all JMU students enjoyed a Thanksgiving break at home sur-rounded by family and homemade food.
Last week, 30 students took part in the alternative break program and volunteered their time over Thanksgiving break to help those in need from Nov. 16-26. The stu-dents were split into three groups of 10 students. Two groups went to New Orleans and one group went to Atlanta.
For six days, the Atlanta group worked with the Atlanta Center for Self Sufficiency, an establishment focused on helping the homeless to get back on their feet and start a
new life. One place the group worked with
was Café 458, which is open to the general public for brunch and din-ner and serves the homeless on weekday mornings. Though the restaurant serves the homeless for free, members of the public must pay and all proceeds, including tips, go directly to the ACSS.
“It’s restaurant style, where the homeless order from a menu and we would wait on them,” said Josh Mlynar, a first-semester graduate student for education and student trip leader.
The group’s other option was CareerWorks, a program that pro-vides the jobless with classes that teach them how to succeed in get-ting a job.
The students split their time between Café 458 and CareerWorks throughout the break.
Marc Lonett, also an education graduate student, was a student leader for the trip.
“I knew some people that were leading the trips, and just by talk-ing to them, how excited they were,” Lonett said. “I thought it would be a great idea to give back during my Thanksgiving instead of going home and doing nothing.”
Junior Julia Fiorio, a public pol-icy and administration major, said that she had an eye-opening expe-rience the first day she was working at Café 458.
Fiorio said that a homeless man

final four to work with.“I think it was a positive
thing for folks to come in and work,” Burrow said. “We try to use energy efficiently, but we figured bringing in an external auditor would open our eyes on using energy a bit.”
Flanders and her group hope to mobilize around 1,000 people to come into the store on Monday, but Artisans’ Hope is willing to participate even if they don’t reach this goal.
Flanders is currently work-ing on a mass email to send to the student body to spread the word and have people come out to Artisan’s Hope.
Flanders also said that she has spoken with Greek Life, the JMU football team, a local bicycle team, and local middle and elementary school facul-ties about attending the event.
“JMU is only a small part of it. We are doing emails, post-ers, flyers, sidewalk chalk — anything we can get our hands on,” Flanders said.
Artisans’ Hope has also been helping out by advertis-ing to its customers.
Flanders hopes to do and complete the project again next semester and do this with another business.
“There is a food store next to Artisans’ Hope called A Bowl of Good and they are pushing to be in it,” Flanders said, “but it will also be an option in the spring semester for students.”

came by the café the first day they were working, but he came when only the paying public was being served.
“A customer inside the res-taurant decided to buy him a meal, but the kitchen didn’t have any plastic or paper cups to put the milk in for him,” Fio-rio said.
Fiorio said she gave him the milk in a glass and asked him to stay close so he could return the glass when he was finished.
He then took a used cup out of the garbage, poured the milk into it and gave the glass back to her.
Senior Dawn Savage, a psy-chology major, spent time volunteering at CareerWorks, where classes are offered to build résumés and gain inter-viewing skills.
“One lady came in, and we were able to help her pick out an outfit,” Savage said. “It was cool to see that she came in, used our resources and is out to get a job now.”
Savage said she missed home, but the experience of helping left its mark on her.
“A lot of the time we assume that [homeless people] are in this position because they were lazy or have substance abuse issues,” Savage said. “While this may be true, the majority of people we worked with didn’t have this attitude. They were there to rebuild themselves.”

Earlier last week, Republi-can presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Perry released their attack ads against President Barack Obama. In addition to being overdramatic, both of the advertisements are extremely premature since the primary election season hasn’t even actually begun.
“If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going t o l o s e ,” Obama says in the ad. The camera then cuts to a brilliant s c e n e o f Romney say-ing he will improve the economy if he’s elected while pan-n i ng ove r a sky view o f b r i g h t clouds and peaceful violins play-ing in the background.
But the ad completely takes Obama’s quote out of context. � e previous phrase is actually Obama quoting John McCain during the presidential race. Romney defended the ad arguing that since it came from Obama’s mouth, it was fair game.
In addition, the ad says little about Romney’s actual poli-cies and resembles a trailer for a horror move with dark light-ing, a deep ominous voice and eerie music.
Perry’s attack ad on Obama
goes in a slightly di� erent direc-tion. � e ad looks like a teaser for the next apocalyptic thriller.
It starts with flashes of street corners and abandoned buildings with warning sirens wailing in the background.
Obama’s voice, distant and choppy, cuts in, and the camera shows his poster deteriorating on a billboard.
Next, some reporters and news channels start talk-ing about how the American people are su� ering, and the words “zero” and “poverty” are repeated both verbally and in text.
Suddenly, tr iumphant music comes on and scenes of horses running through water and people painting American � ags appear on the screen. Perry’s voice says he believes in America while his feet walk toward the camera as trumpets blast.
These ads are premature
— neither candidate is winning all of the polls. While Romney is ahead in some polls, in others he’s trailing behind Newt Gin-grich and even third behind Herman Cain in some.
Perry is nowhere near the lead and isn’t warranted to start attacking Obama in political ads when he isn’t even beating his own primary opponents.
If he wants to run an ad against Obama, he needs to run ads against the other Republi-cans first.In addition, political a d s have increasing-ly moved away from promoting a candidate and toward attacking the other. I didn’t get
any new information in the premature ads on what either candidate was going to do for America if they were elected.
These candidates should focus on winning their own Republican primary and con-trasting their policies with one another.
Only then can they begin to campaign against the current president.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a country in the midst of chaos and, if not treated carefully, the fractured society could explode into war.
Because of the controversy surrounding Monday’s elec-tion, the country could witness violence and political corrup-tion for months.
The country is still very much living under the shad-ow of the Second Congo War, which officially ended with the creation of the transi-tional government in . But to this day, thousands still die daily from malnutrition and lack of medicine, according to enoughproject.org, a website that advocates ending genocide and crimes against humanity.
� e use of rape as a weap-on of terror during the war has also led to an AIDS epidemic, and the direct devastation of the war made DRC one of the least developed countries in the world.
During the war, now-Pres-ident Joseph Kabila was the leader of a band of child sol-diers called Kadogos. His administration was instrumen-tal in orchestrating the peace agreement that o� cially ended the war, but rebels still operate in the rural undevel-oped areas.
In , with help from other top rebel leaders, Kabila agreed on a new constitution and created the first func-tioning government in DRC since before the fall of former
President Mobutu Sese Seko’s notorious regime.
Despite this noticeable prog-ress, Kabila’s regime is extremely weak and one of the most cor-rupt in the world, responsible for large-scale embezzlement, torture and even assassinations of political opponents.
Despite those claims, Kabi-la is running for re-election. Initially, the thought of DRC having a democratic election appears good. Unfortunately, it’s not the best idea.
In the election, the vol-atile situation nearly erupted into war. But the presence of United Nations security dis-couraged attacks at polls and the major opposition leader immediately accepted Kabila’s victory as legitimate because of the U.N. oversight.
But this time, those factors
are missing. Although Kabila won the election, he has fallen more out of favor with the population. His opponent, Etienne Tshisekedi — who boy-cotted the election, as he considered it to be systematic fraud — has been gaining polit-ical momentum.
� e inept DRC government organized Monday’s election, which has led to abysmal per-formance, large-scale violence against voters and voting polls and even greater fraud. The clashes killed at least eight people, according to National Public Radio.
To make matters worse, both Kabila and Tshisekedi have declared themselves the win-ner. � e o� cial results won’t be declared until Tuesday.
Large clashes between loy-alists in these two groups have already occurred, while still-strong rebel movements have become more aggressive. � e already weak Congolese gov-ernment is virtually powerless in preventing another arms struggle.
If war were to break out, it would be unlikely that any con-� ict would reach the size it did during the height of the Second Congo War, but it may very well return Congo to a Somalia-like state of perpetual war.

Enough is enoughI like to think that for a lot of
people, � anksgiving vacation means a break from the every-day hustle and bustle, spending time with family and decorating for the Christmas season.
Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. The hustle and bustle doesn’t come to a complete halt. It continues to happen with post-� anksgiving Christmas shopping.
� e tactics for Black Friday — and Christmas shopping in general — have grown more brutal by the year. This time they’re in the form of pepper spray and smash-and-grab customers.
Of course, it’s nothing new to hear about the horrors and brutalities Black Friday impos-es upon the general public. But when the entire tradition of seemingly discounted deals is subjected to these actions,
post-Thanksgiving shopping carries with it an extremely negative reputation.
In , when a Walmart stampede trampled an employ-ee to death, a new wave of violence that comes with Black Friday appeared.
On Friday, in an attempt to snag an Xbox, a woman reportedly pepper-sprayed customers at a Walmart in Los Angeles.
� at’s not the only incident of pepper-spraying. Customers were pepper-sprayed by a secu-rity guard in Kingston, N.C. In San Leandro, Calif., and Fay-etteville, N.C., the violence was driven to an even higher level as unidenti ed gunshots rang outside of stores.
The holidays should be a time of deep relaxation, emp-tying the mind of temporary worries. Christmas glides right
into the time of New Year’s, allowing us to re� ect and look to a fresh start.
Deals come and go, but family never leaves. I can promise you, that sweater will be at that discounted price come next year — or even in a few weeks. � at appliance your dad dreamt of receiving will be usurped by the next hot piece of technology.
Picture the possibilities: You could plow your way through pools and pools of customers as you make your way to that discount. Or you could exchange stories, soak-ing up each moment you have with your family. I choose the latter.

Modern technology and classical art don’t always go together, but an upcoming exhibit in the newly renovated Skyline Museum in Festival will test that theory.
“Mentor to an Icon: A Charles Lisanby and Andy Warhol Exhibit” will highlight the life of Emmy-award-winning production designer Charles Lisanby and his relationship with pop artist Andy Warhol.
“I want students to be engaged,” said Kate Stevens, director of the Madison Art Collec-tion. “I want people to be involved. I want people to really like it.”
The exhibit will feature interactive media like videos of interviews with Lisanby and an 3-D interactive iPad application that will take visitors through a 3-D representation of the gallery with more information on each piece. Stevens also hopes to stream music similar to what Lisanby listened to in his New York apartment through a sound sys-tem for “a little bit of ambiance.”
Stevens traveled to Los Angeles in sum-mer 2010 to talk to Charles Lisanby, 87, about potentially donating his life’s work to the collection. He told her to pack up his entire collection and bring it back with her to JMU.
Among more than 30 boxes, Stevens dis-covered original Warhol sketches, signed memorabilia and Lisanby’s homemade films.
“It was truly a time of engagement and discovery, and it was really exciting,” Stevens said. “The more we unpacked, the more we found.”
Since then, Stevens and her MAC team have been working to create a gallery that not only showcases Lisanby’s artwork, but also takes visitors through his creative process.
Lisanby was revolutionary in the television industry, designing the first color television series telecast for CBS, a episode of “The Big Record,” a 1957 music show, according to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He also developed a technique that allowed for the use of neon in television set design.
Lisanby met Warhol in the early years of Warhol’s career. He helped Warhol learn the basics of art: drawing, painting and mixing colors.
“To him it’s just Andy, it’s not, you know, Andy Warhol, who happens to be the biggest artist of the last 50 years internationally,” said Josh Smead, senior art history major and stu-dent curator for the exhibit.
The exhibit will feature all of Lisanby’s work as well as pieces he collected during his world travels. Pieces include original
sketches from Andy Warhol, a signed origi-nal copy of a “Madeline” children’s book, a book about Norman Rockwell’s work, signed to Lisanby and 18th century Japanese prints that Lisanby collected.
“When you’re at an art show, and you’re walking around, you get to see someone’s final thought,” said Cindi Smead, the col-lection manager at MAC and Josh’s mother. “What you’re getting with Charles’ collection is a glimpse into all the little decisions that his creative eye is making.”
Members of the MAC team made two trips out to Lisanby’s homes in New York City and Los Angeles. They stored the art in Festival 1000, a climate-controlled pressurized room, and converted the old gallery near the back of the first floor of Festival into a work space. Unfortunately, that left the collection with-out a gallery.
In April, Charles King, senior vice presi-dent at JMU, asked Stevens if she would like

CanCer awareness gets intimate on page A9
I’ve found that fans of “Goodfellas” are very similar to the film’s mobster main
characters: If you don’t like the movie, you get wacked. Fortunately for my continued survival, I enjoyed all 146 minutes
of this gangster flick. From the moment Henry
Hill (Ray Liotta) said, “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster,” I was hooked. This group of thieves, murderers and drug dealers felt just like family. They created a world where everything is more glamorous and everyone
has an endless supply of hair products. Everyone is loyal and protected at all costs.
Henry grows up across the street from the family and quickly becomes a “Goodfella.” The film traced his history with a variety of mobsters — Paul Cicero (Paul Sorvino), Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) — through the good, the bad and the ugly. Henry, Jimmy and Tommy kill without a thought and replace paying bills with beatings and threats. Even jail doesn’t faze them; in fact, it’s like a badge of honor to serve a sentence. All the while they’re cooking Italian dishes and living like kings.
If Barack Obama was in with these guys, he would have found Osama bin Laden three years ago.
Pesci is vicious as Tommy, the easily offended and trigger-happy family member. He’s the source of the majority of the
murders, but at the same time is an endearing character. In that vein, I felt a connection to the family and found myself validating their actions at every turn. When there is a rat, you obviously have to kill him. When someone insults your best friend, the logical reaction is to stick a knife in that person’s gut. Common sense, people.
And it wasn’t just the acting that made the characters realistic. Knowing this film is based on a true story made it so much better. Watching characters that actually participated in the heists and deals somehow made it even more magical. I looked up Jimmy Conway and found that he’d be up for parole in 2004 (he died in prison), and the idea that this crook could have been running the streets again gave me an odd sense of pride.
Unfortunately for me, the only way girls are allowed into the family is through marriage, but if that means free wads of cash and priority seating at restaurants, sign me up.
Favorite quote: “I’m not mad, I’m proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man, and you learned the two greatest things in life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.” — Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) to Henry Hill (Ray Liotta)

SGA will deck out in front of Wilson Hall tonight as part of its annual tree-lighting ceremony.
The ceremony will start at 7:30 p.m. on the Quad and will open with a speech by Presi-dent Linwood Rose.
The ceremony centers around Rose lighting the tree on the Quad for the first time this season, and the tree will continue to be lit every night until winter break.
JMU lights its tree differently
than most. At other schools, the lights come from the top and are tied to the ground. JMU wraps gold and purple lights around the tree and weaves them through the branches by Facilities Management.
The 20-foot-tall tree comes from a local farm that donates the tree to the JMU communi-ty, according to John Ventura, assistant director of operations for Facilities Management.

to use the old Freshëns food area, which was taken down this summer, as a gallery.
“I sort of feel that it’s the right spot, it’s the right flavor,” Stevens said. “It just hadn’t worked as a food joint, but I think it’s going to work as a quiet place, a reflective place, a place where you can engage with the arts.”
The space was complete-ly redesigned. She included floor-to-ceiling display col-umns, hardwood floors, a reception area and a walk-in glass display area.
“The space is nice because it’s right in the front of Festi-val,” said Emily Campbell, a junior art history major who works at Sawhill Gallery. “It’s more public than their old space.”
She explained that many students don’t know where
the galleries on campus are located, so the accessibility will bring more students in.
Stevens is talking to Madi-son Union about the potential of having “teatime with the arts” every Wednesday, when students can learn about the arts for 20 minutes.
The gallery’s soft opening was Oct. 17. Kate Harvey, the Skyline Gallery director, curat-ed the exhibit, “Unlocking Italy: Stories from the Italian Past.” The exhibit, “Age of the Floating World: Chinese and Japanese Art from the 17th-20th Centuries,” will be on display through Dec. 16. The Lisanby exhibit will be the gal-lery’s grand opening on Jan. 23.
To help design the Lisan-by exhibit, Stevens hired two interns: Smead and John Kim-briel, a political science and art history double major.
C re a t i n g a “ t e a c h i n g space,” the team decided to
incorporate a new iPad app that will feature all the art in the collection in a virtual 3-D exhibit. With the app, students can view not only the piece, but supplemental informa-tion about the piece as well as interviews with Lisanby about the work.
“I think it would be a very instructive experience for any-one in general and anyone in the art world about the poten-tial of a museum and what it could be in a newer era,” Kim-briel said.
The grand opening will be on Lisanby’s 88th birthday, and he will be present at the event. The collection will run through Feb. 24. The next exhibit in the gallery will be “The Photography of Elliot Erwitt and Manuel Bravo” from Feb. 27 through March 30.

Students support cancer research with sports brasBy SAndy JolleSThe Breeze
Fighting like a girl can be a sexy and fashionable act against cancer, according to the JMU chapter of Col-leges Against Cancer.
Members of the Cancer Education committee that’s part of the CAC sold neon pink sport bras embroidered with the words “Fight Like a Girl” for $15 on the commons starting Monday and ending on Wednesday. All pro-ceeds went to CAC and Relay for Life.
“Even though October did bring awareness to breast cancer, people don’t just get diagnosed in Octo-ber,” said Julia D’Esterre, the Cancer Education committee chair and a sophomore public policy and admin-istration and media arts and design double major. “We did these to con-vey an even stronger message of how prevalent this disease is.”
Unlike last year, when students bought T-shirts, this year, the cam-paign has taken a more innovative approach.
“This drive is not just a shirt with
writing; it’s unique and it’s a bra that people will be talking about,” said Morgan Schaffner, a sophomore media arts and design major at the event. “It’s a good tool for word-of-mouth and a good conversation starter with a unique, bright color.”
One of the main goals of Colleges Against Cancer is to promote balanc-ing a healthy lifestyle with the rigors of college life.
“Some people don’t realize that if you take into account diet and exer-cise, one-third of all cancers can be prevented,” D’Esterre said.
The American Cancer Society states that one out of every eight women is diagnosed with breast can-cer. This number has some students striving to fight the misconception that cancer is uncommon.
“I think people think cancer will never happen to them, and that it is very unusual,” said Haley Self, a fresh-man finance major who bought a bra. “I think with it being brought to the public eye so much more, students are finally grasping how prevalent this disease is.”
Some students came in support of a loved one who had been diag-nosed with this disease; others came to make statements of their own.
“A woman who had a major influ-ence on my life passed away from this disease, so I bought a bra as an active way of showing that I care,” Schaffner said.
The bras also serve as a tool of empowerment, explained Mara Metroka, a sophomore hospitality management major. That was her rea-son for buying one herself.
“I don’t have a hot pink bra, and I love to work out in style,” Metroka said. “It’s a great way to empower women by saying, ‘I fight like a girl, and I’m proud of it.’ ”
The group sold about 115 bras during the week, with a $5 proceed on each one, amounting to an esti-mated $575 raised. This is only the second year CAC has been in effect. The CAC will continue to fundraise in preparation for Relay for Life.

ceremony dates back to before the 1960s.
“We’ve been trying to keep the tradition alive by doing everything and planning the event,” said junior market-ing major Meredith Wood, and vice president of the junior class.
The ceremony was original-ly held in Warren Hall and was moved into the front of Wilson in the 1980s.
Though plans to put an ice skating rink on the Quad this year fell through, SGA hopes to include one next year. The company providing the rink was unable to insure it in time.
“Everyone next year will know to start everything in advance to ensure that the company has time to get insured,” said University Program Board member Shah-ana Islam, a junior hospitality management and marketing double major.
Even without the ice skat-ing rink, this year’s annual tree lighting ceremony will still have a twist. SGA has arranged for the Madison
Project, Noteoriety, Low Key, Into Hymn and Overtones to perform together at the light-ing ceremony.
“I’m excited for the a capel-la groups to come together as a community,” said Matt Klein, a marketing major and junior class president. “I have never seen them perform as a choir, and I think that it’ll be a fun opportunity and atmosphere for everyone.”
The a capella groups will also each perform separately while students can enjoy free hot chocolate, cookies and candy canes.
SGA has been planning the event since before Halloween. This event is about bringing the JMU community together and getting the students and faculty into the spirit, accord-ing to Wood.
“It’s winter time at JMU, and you feel it when you see the tree,” Wood said. “With its location on the Quad where everyone sees it, it really adds to the winter spirit.”

The Dukes have practically been in the playoffs for their last three games.
They enter the second round of the FCS playoffs hoping to notch their fourth must-win game.
No. 17 JMU (8-4, 5-3 CAA) is tak-ing on No. 2 North Dakota State University (10-1, 7-1) for the right to advance to the quarterfinals. The Bison have had an extremely suc-cessful season, winning their games by an average of 18 points; their only blemish is a 27-24 loss to Missouri Valley Football Conference rival Youngstown State University.
The Dukes will be playing in a notoriously loud environment in front of almost 19,000 fans at the Fargodome.
“It’s going to be loud, and there won’t be many people wearing pur-ple,” head coach Mickey Matthews said.
Senior wide receiver Kerby Long expressed his own views about this week’s upcoming matchup against the Bison.
“It going to be tough; they’ve got a dome, and it’ll be really loud,” Long said. “Plus it’s the No. 2 team in the nation, so we’ll have our work cut out for us this week.”
That’s no overstatement. The Bison have 12 players who earned All-MVFC honors this week, includ-ing quarterback Brock Jensen, wide receiver/return specialist Ryan Smith and linebacker Chad Willson.
“They have a good team all-around, from offense to defense to special teams … they’re just a really good coached team,” said corner-back Leavander Jones.
On offense, the Bison like to line up in the I-formation and run a bal-anced offensive attack that uses the play-action pass.
NDSU will feature sophomore quarterback Jensen, who’s having a stellar season statistically under center. He’s completing nearly 70 percent of his passes.
In the backfield, the Bison will fea-ture the tandem of senior running back D.J. McNorton and sophomore running back Sam Ojuri, who have a combined 272 attempts for 1,520 yards and 19 touchdowns.
At wide receiver, the Bison will feature the dynamic 5-foot-7-inch sophomore Ryan Smith, who has 40 receptions for 471 yards, and senior Warren Holloway, who averages
nearly 70 receiving yards a game. In addition, tight end Matt Veldman has proven to be a viable receiving option with 22 receptions for 257 yards and three touchdowns.
On defense, NDSU is based out of the 4-3, and “they live off of their defense,” Matthews said.
The heart of the Bison defense is its linebacker corps led by senior linebacker Chad Willson, who has a team-leading 65 tackles and five tackles for a loss, two sacks and one interception this season.
Despite winning last week’s game with a heroic comeback and a last-second field goal, the Dukes have some mistakes to make up for in order to advance to the next round of the FCS playoffs.
“We didn’t play the best we could this Saturday, and it was really close. We need to pick it up, just keep fight-ing and keep working,” said offensive lineman Earl Watford.
Nevertheless, the magnitude of this game isn’t lost on the team.
“The win last week was huge,” s t a r t i n g q u a r t e r b a c k Ju s t i n Thorpe said. “We hadn’t been to playoffs in two years, and this one will be even bigger.”

With a 4-0 beginning to season against nonconference teams, dukes ready to repeat last year’s success as caa champs
By STephen proffiTTcontributing writer
The Dukes could potentially have the ugli-est game of their season tonight as they travel into unfamiliar territory.
With the Dukes having about four days of solid practice before traveling to Liberty Uni-versity, Brooks focused on improving the flaws he’s seen so far this season with positive results.
“We had a really good week,” Brooks said. “I thought we got better this week.”
The Dukes, who are undefeated early in the season at 5-0, are coming off a 60-46 home win against Middle Tennessee State University.
This also marked the Dukes’ 14th straight home victory.
“It was probably one of the top three defen-sive efforts that we’ve ever had since I’ve been here,” Brooks said.
Brooks is concerned for the aggressiveness and capability to manipulate the court that the Flames possess.
“This game we’re going to play on Thursday is probably going to be a very ugly basketball game,” Brooks said. “That’s the way Liberty wants you to play. It’s going to come down to the last few possessions.”
Brooks predicts that future opponents will try and make the Dukes play against a zone-style
defense, but he has confidence that they can handle the challenge.
“When you can create on the defensive end and can get out on the fast break, it negates what they want to try and do,” Brooks said. “We’re going to have to create some offense on by our defense.”
Through four games this season, the Dukes seem to have picked up where they left off last season.
“We have that chemistry,” said redshirt junior guard Jasmine Gill. “We’re getting to the point where we know each other, and we’re starting to read each other.”
The team continues to outplay opponents
on both sides of the ball, especially on the defensive end. The Dukes are averaging 7.8 steals a game while keeping themselves above their opponents by 11 rebounds.
“Our focus this year is offensive rebounds,” said redshirt senior forward Lauren White-hurst. “We want to beat teams on the boards every game.”
After Thursday, the Dukes head up to Towson University on Sunday for their first conference game of the season.

Zeroing in on the BisonplayerS To waTchon offenSe:
#16 QB Brock Jensen: With 11 touchdowns, nearly 2,000 yards pass-ing, only two interceptions and a 151.4 passer rating, Jensen has certainly turned heads and avoided the much-maligned sophomore slump. Jensen isn’t known for his running game, but has the ability to score at the goal line, seen by his five rushing touchdowns this season.
#81 wr warren holloway: The Houston native and senior wide receiv-er is currently the leading receiver for the Bison with an average of 68 receiv-ing yards per game. “Big Tex,” as he is affectionately known by fans, has 55 receptions, 746 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
playerS To waTch on defenSe:
#92 de coulter Boyer: This 6-foot-4-inch, 245-pound senior has started the last 35 games for NDSU and leads the Bison with 10 tackles for a loss and seven sacks. For his efforts this year, Boyer was appointed first team All-MVFC.
#1 cB marcus williams: The sophomore playmaker for the Bison’s secondary is currently third in the nation with seven interceptions, three of which he returned for touchdowns. He’s averaging nearly 40 yards an inter-ception return. Williams also had a kickoff returned 90 yards for a touch-down against Missouri State.

soon, the team still knows it’s a good opportunity to experi-ence some Colonial Athletic Association play early in the season. This could give the
Dukes the burst they need for another outstanding season.
The road trip marks the Dukes’ second time away from home this season. The team’s first five of seven games are on the road, but Brooks hopes
this will help bring unity to his team, an attitude echoed by the team.
“We play together, we stay together, we win,” Gill said.
The Dukes play at 7 p.m. tonight in Lynchburg before
their game against Towson University this Sunday at 2 p.m.

The Daily Press
BL ACKSBURG — Less than two months ago, Clem-son was one of the darkhorse teams with a chance to make a national championship run, especially considering it was coming off a convincing 23-3 win at Va. Tech.
Since starting 8-0 and climbing as high as No. 6 in the Associated Press rank-ings, Clemson (9-3) has lost three of its last four games. While Clemson has struggled, Va. Tech has gone the other direction, winning seven con-secutive games.
This Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference champion-ship game in Charlotte, N.C offers an opportunity for redemption — and that goes for both programs. Clemson has a shot to get back on track, while No. 5 Va. Tech (11-1) can avenge its only loss — all with a likely bid to the Orange Bowl on the line.
“We’ve just got to get our team’s confidence back, get their focus back on execu-tion and fundamentals and Va. Technique and try to get back to playing winning foot-ball,” said Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, whose team lost 34-13 Saturday at South Carolina. “Right now, we’re not doing that.”
Swinney pointed toward No. 21 Clemson’s turnovers as one of the primary reasons for its late-season collapse. While running out to its 8-0 start, Clemson committed just six turnovers. In the last four games, the Tigers have turned the ball over 12 times.
Quarterback Tajh Boyd hasn’t been the same player he was in the early going either. In the first eight games, he threw 24 touchdowns and just three interceptions, but he has thrown four touchdowns and seven interceptions in Clem-son’s last four games.
“I would say he’s not playing
with the confidence he was at that time,” Swinney said. “I think the quarterback pres-sure and the sacks have been a problem, and then the turn-overs. He’s a first-year starter, and everything is going perfect for him. Then, all of a sud-den, he’s had some mistakes, and he’s got to fight his way through it.”
Va. Tech, which will be mak-ing its fifth appearance in the ACC championship game in the last seven years, will come into its rematch with Clemson with a ton of confidence after winning 38-0 Saturday at the University of Virginia. A victo-ry in the conference title game would likely put Va. Tech in the Orange Bowl for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
In Va. Tech’s last seven games, quarterback Logan Thomas has thrown for 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions, while also add-ing nine rushing touchdowns. Along with running back
David Wilson, who is third in the nation with 1,595 rush-ing yards (at least 123 yards in 10 of 12 games this season), Thomas has been the catalyst for an offense that has posted 400-plus yards in eight games this season.
“We’re totally different,” said defensive end James Gayle on how Va. Tech, which is 12th in total defense (302 yards per game), has improved since losing to Clemson. “We had a young quarterback. He’s pro-gressed greatly over the last six or seven games since we played them.”
In that Oct. 1 loss to Clem-son, Va. Tech was held to a season-low 258 yards while converting just 4 of 16 third downs. Clemson only put up 323 yards, but it forced Va. Tech to punt or turn the ball over on 11 of 14 possessions in what Swinney called his team’s best defensive performance of the season.
Clemson, Va. Tech both seek redemption

1. Midfielder/defender Karel Manrau (right) and goalie Justin Epperson (left) try to get the ball out of the reach of a University of Connecticut player. 2. Junior forward Paul Wyatt battles off University of Delaware forward Chas Wilson. Delaware defeated the Dukes in penalty kicks during the CAA tournament held at JMU. Delaware went on to win the CAA Championship. 3. The team huddles together before the third round of the NCAA playoffs. The Dukes earned a first-week bye and then played Wake Forest University at home to earn a trip to the third round. The Dukes fell to UConn 3-0. 4. Wyatt goes head-to-head with UConn midfielder/defender Jossimar Sanchez. Wyatt had two shots during the game against UConn and four against Wake Forest. 5. Redshirt senior midfielder Jimmy Simpson takes control of a pass during the game against Lafayette University. The Dukes finished their season 13-5-2, 8-3-0 CAA.
