By AMANDA HERMAN The Breeze

There will be no changes to the popu- lar late night bus service this fall, ending rumors that additional hours would be cut from the schedule. The bus will continue to run on Fri- day and Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to 2:15 a.m. Last year, the Harrisonburg Depart- ment of Public Transportation cut the runtime for what students call “The Drunk Bus” by 45 minutes, so that it ended at 2:15 a.m. instead of 3 a.m. After the hours were cut back, many students heard rumors about further cuts until the late night bus route would be scrapped altogether.

The Co-Op was purchased for $14.1 million and could serve as additional space for facility management. The JMU Real Estate Foundation, a private corporation that sup- ports JMU, purchased the bank for $680,000 and apartments for $5.8 million during the summer for the university to lease. The apartments and bank will be operated from auxiliary funds, or funds not obtained through tuition dollars or state money.

After lasting for more than a year, the lawsuit filed by Marist College against JMU, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and men’s basketball head coach Matt Brady is still ongoing after a judge recently ruled in favor of Marist. On June 30, JMU lost the legal battle as a filing error by their state-appointed counsel led to a default decision. Marist had accused all parties with improper handling of Brady’s hiring.
