On Thursday, Sept. 4, Water Street from Liberty Street to Main Street will be closed for construction from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. The following day at the same time, Bruce Street from Main Street to Federal Street will be closed. The construction is a part of the semes- ter-long Phase 2 construction project. The road closing will allow construction workers to dig into the pavement and locate any existing utility lines. While this can be inconvenient for many, those in charge of the project appreciate the community’s cooperation. “Anytime construction or road work takes place in a downtown area, it impacts a large number of people,” said Kim Cameron, project engineer with the Public Works Department, in a city press release. “We ... look forward to the com- pletion of this project.” The project should be completed by mid-December.

Hungerford isn’t sure what she is going to do with her laundry and perishable food at this point. In addition, Hungerford said the Harrison’s management couldn’t even give her a set date for when her apartment would be ready. The answer she received was vague — informing her that it shouldn’t take longer than four weeks from the time she went in to the office on Aug. 21. Getting in touch with the management of The Harrison proved difficult as well. Hungerford said she called the management several times and had to go in to the main office to actually talk to some- one. This resulted in her missing a whole day of work during 1787 Orientation. Hungerford isn’t the only student who has had trouble getting in contact with the management. According to Matt St. Pierre, a junior marketing major, when he went in person to the main office he found it little easier to contact the management than Hungerford had found it on the phone. The late move-in isn’t the only issue. St. Pierre commented on the lack of furniture and small details many people often take for granted in their living spaces. “The other day our doorknob broke, locking us Danielle Epifanio / the breeze out — there’s no shower bar; there were just a lot of odds and ends missing,” St. Pierre said.

Sarvis | Third party candidate cites relative in drug legalization discussion from page 3

Sarvis went on to explain how social science is pointing to evi- dence of reductions in traffic fatalities because people substitute marijuana for alcohol, as well as to decreases in painkiller overdoses because of an increase in marijuana use. On a personal level, Sarvis mentioned the story of his 31-year-old brother-in-law who was recently sentenced to 24 years in prison in Mississippi for his third marijuana possession offense. According to Sarvis, the war on drugs and prohibition have damaged the fam- ily component and generated an overcrowded prison population. “He has a wife and kids, and they’re going to grow up without a father in the home. She has a job and struggling to raise kids without her husband there,” Sarvis said. “And so that’s how we perpetuate poverty. That’s a great recipe for creating a genera- tional cycle.” On the minds of most politicians in Washington is immigration and how to fix the current system. The discussion was prompted over the summer when it was announced that more than 52,000 children had entered the U.S. illegally since October — a number that’s almost double last year’s total, and likely the result of safety concerns from violence in Central America. Sarvis, whose mother is an immigrant from China, considers himself pro-immigration and believes the U.S. should go as far as politically feasible in allowing those who want to come to the country to do so. “I just think it’s a huge opportunity for us to improve not just our own culture and our own economy, but also the life of the people coming here,” Sarvis said. “We shouldn’t be solely looking at our own utility when talking about immigration. The ability to bring more people into the umbrella of a free society is such a good thing.” Olivia Lawson, a freshman music major, discusses politics with her father, and recently both of them have taken a libertarian turn. While Sarvis addressed immigration, Lawson is keen on illegal immigration and wishes Sarvis spoke more about a resolution to ma tt schmachtenberg / the breeze the matter during his speech. “It’s real people, it’s real people’s lives, it’s children.

Although, the endless string of bad decision after bad decision kept me questioning the intelligence of the characters. Alongside this, the unnecessary redemption and love plot tossed in the movie feels rushed. If you are looking for something that will give you a few scares and you have nothing better to do, then sure, go see it.

Shtep en proffitt | estimated proffitt Court of opportunity Men’s basketball schedule with more home games creates prime chance to grab student body

Sharp contrast is something head coach Matt Brady and JMU basketball have gotten used to over the past few seasons. Whether it’s injuries, suspensions, haphazard transfers or infrequent success, it seems like there’s always something. This change, however, is good. This season, the team will play 19 games on the Convocation Center court — a school record. This includes a five-game homestand to begin the season. It all starts Nov. 14 when defending Atlantic Coast Confer- ence champion U.Va. comes to town. Other notable games will include a trip to Ohio State on Nov. 28, and a home matchup with the University of Richmond on Dec. 7. If anyone remembers the last time the Spiders came to town, this one surely has potential. It’s a strong disparity for a team who traveled more than 4,100 miles in the month of Novem- ber last year. Even more so, when noted that JMU played a mere two non-conference games inside the Convocation Center last year, and only one of them with classes in session. Brady admits they were never able to get on a roll last year, and because of that, an 11-20 record was etched into the books. This time around, JMU plays just three non-conference games on the road. And they’re all over holiday periods, meaning players won’t miss classes or their beds. Last year, with one of the youngest teams in the nation, Brady constantly carted his squ ad to foreign cities and gyms. Sure, it’s great way to bond through cards or Call of Duty on lengthy char- ter bus rides, but how much success can you expect from a team in such limbo? The life of a student athlete can be a struggle. The saying “home court advantage” expands into the classrooms, dorm rooms and cafeterias. Despite Brady saying this is the deepest team he’s ever had, he returns just two starters. With the transfers of Charles Blair Rosen / THE BREEZE Cooke and Taylor Bessick, juniors Ron Curry and Andre Nation are at the helm. With no seniors, a slew of freshmen and some Brady can help do this by having a larger role on campus.

By Andre Haboush contributing writer

The JMU women’s track and field and cross country teams are entering the season with a new director after Bill Walton’s retirement. Walton was the director of track and field and cross country and part of the program for more than 36 years. Walton was also a sprinter and long and triple jumper for the then- Madison College in the early 1970s.

Enter former track and field coach Ta’ Frias, who was promoted this summer to take over as the director of track and field and cross country. Frias had been the head coach of track and field since 2009.The Breeze spoke with Frias and asked her about her promotion and expectations for the current season.

This is your first season heading both track and field and cross country after taking over for Bill Walton. How do you expect the transition to go over? I think that it will be a smooth transition. Luckily I’ve worked with the program for the past five years, and I’m very familiar with both the track and field and cross country team, so I don’t think there will be much of a transition.
