AD DESIGNERS Oct. 9, 1953 Bethany Adams Bernadette Fitzgerald On this day in 1953, The Breeze’s front Christine Horab page featured a short article that posed the question: “Wouldn’t it be nice to have a lake on campus?” The article went on to mention that the likelihood of this dream Download our coming true had increased with the mobile app at breezejmu.org. university’s purchase of Newman Farm (hint, hint). As the article predicts, Newman Lake ended up being created by the construction of a dam built across a www.facebook.com/ TheBreezeJMU stream that ran through campus. The writer of the article painted an imaginary picture of the joys a lake would bring to campus; students could fish, go on picnics, @TheBreezeJMU build outdoor fires, boat or lounge on a @TheBreezeSports beach with “clean white sand to sun on and clear blue water for a swim.” Clearly, the author’s vision doesn’t match the state of our current lake, but at the time, it was @breezejmu all a dream. And, as the article states, “one has to dream a dream before he can achieve it.”

But the police presence in the building, Wyatt said, was “merely a precautionary measure” and not part of the investigation. “Part of that [police] presence is a reassur- ance to the community that yes, we are a safe campus and we do take things seriously, we care about the safety of the university,” Wyatt said. “And the other part is obviously from a law enforcement perspective — making sure there’s no suspicious activity.” Meanwhile, many students turned to Twitter and YikYak to voice their concern saying that the unexplained police presence in the buildings made them nervous and uncomfortable.

movie review Ain’t no rest for Reel worthy of your time Box office delivers over the weekend the wicked New local band ‘Te Nocturnal Blume’ deviates from mainstream music genres by freestyling their own unique sound

COURTESY OF TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE Annabelle, a doll possessed by the spirit of a woman from a cult, haunts a new family.

By LEAH POULLIOT contributing writer

Prior to writing this review I planned to concentrate on “Annabelle,” the follow- up horror movie to last year’s hit, “Te Conjuring.” However, after watching “Gone Girl,” there was no other option. I have to talk about it. Author Gillian Flynn’s mur- der mystery-esque book runs through so many convoluted plot twists that going in-depth will ruin the story for anyone, so I’ll keep it simple. On Nick and Amy Dunne’s fve-year anniversary, Amy seems to simply disappear. With a glass table toppled over and an iron left on, there are no apparent other clues. “Gone Girl” Nick quickly fles a missing person report and things spiral out of control.

I’ve never been crazy Pike, Neil Patrick Harris about Afeck, especially after “Dare Devil,” but damn if he doesn’t play an outstanding A-hole in this movie. Honestly, the role fts him perfectly. It’s also humorous to see him get more buf throughout the movie’s progression because of his “Batman” flming.

SportsEDITORS Wayne Epps Jr. & Drew Crane EMAIL [email protected] Thursday, October 9, 2014 11 COMMENTARY Time for What’s the holdup? answers Long student lines at football games sometimes pose a challenge

Latest JMU basketball By WAYNE EPPS JR. suspensions are The Breeze unacceptable When it comes to student lines to enter home football games, what you see may not always be what you get. At times, lines at games can stretch past the adjacent Godwin Hall. Students are nor- mally assigned to a single gate at Bridgeforth Stadium: Gate C. Te entrance lies between the main student section behind the visitor’s sideline, and the student and general admis- sion section behind the band and facing the north end zone of the stadium. But according to Michael Carpenter, assistant athletics director for ticketing and customer relations, the length of the lines isn’t necessarily the university’s main concern. Te focus for JMU is that the lines are constantly moving, which he says is generally the case. MATT SCHMACHTENBERG / THE BREEZE He said he hasn’t really heard any complaints from students. Nation is suspended for the third time. “It’s from other people who think the sky is falling that you hear it from,” Carpenter said on By CARLEIGH DAVIS criticism of the lines. “Because when you see contributing writer it, it looks sketchy.

And that was the most impressive season the team had in a long time. But Brady’s response of an indefnite suspension is just a continuance of letting his team push him all over the newly designed court with excuses and poor choices. Where is his leader- ship? Where is the team unity? Where is our miracle team? And most importantly, why is the men’s basketball team allowed to have second or even third chances when many other athletes aren’t granted one?

BREEZE FILE PHOTO

In order to prepare for its many visitors, the JMU Bookstore orders supplies in advance.

By SAMANTHA ELLIS The Breeze

As the JMU campus awaits the start of its annual Family Weekend, the bookstore is kicking it into high gear in anticipation of its surge of eager customers. According to Mark Glenn, director of the JMU Bookstore, Family Weekend is a very busy time and the store takes extra measures to make sure it will be prepared for the infux in sales. “It’s all hands on deck this weekend,” Glenn said. “We’re opening all of our cash registers and making sure that we have enough employees for the entire day.” Employees especially are feeling the pressure, knowing they will need to serve customers as quickly as possible. “I have to work on Saturday morning, and if I were to describe it in a word I’d say, ‘insanity,’” Faith Hastie, a senior international afairs major and store employee, said. “We see thousands of customers, and no matter how many people we have on hand there is always a line.” Glenn declined to comment on the store’s profts during this time of year, only noting that a portion of their commission will go to the university. “Whatever we make, I imagine it’s an awful lot,” Hastie said. “Tere’s never a dull moment during Family Weekend, especially before the game.” Another concern, especially with the infux in the student population, is the amount of mer- chandise needed to satisfy parents’ expectations. “We try to keep up with demand by ordering a lot in advance; that is always a big priority for us,” Glenn said. Still, Glenn is anticipating a positive outcome from this weekend. “I enjoy [Family] Weekend, I always see a lot of smiles, and I think this will be a good year,” he said.
