Good evening Mr. Johnson, My name is Barrie Seigle and I am a current undergraduate student at Michigan State University. One of my friends is a student at GVSU and she posted an article on facebook that was found in The Lanthorn. The article titled,...

Hello, I just wanted to share my thoughts after reading the editorial “There is only room for one holiday” by Chris Slattery. First off, I wanted to say that I do understand that it was an attempt at a satire, hopefully. However, it was...
