Now or never

Nov 3, 2011

Kevin VanAntwerpen Oct 31, 2011

Happy Halloween. I thought instead of ranting about politics or religion, this time I’d give you something more festive. Below is a walkthrough of the most messed up (yet horribly awesome) Halloween costumes I’ve encountered this year. The...

Letter to the Editor: Race is Irrelevant

Oct 31, 2011

I would like to express my disappointment in the Lanthorn for running two different, yet very similar articles implying the lack of color diversity on campus in the past week. These articles were titled “Minority enrollment on the rise, but GV...

You know the law

Oct 31, 2011

Let’s get something straight. We aren’t going to tell all of our underaged readers out there not to drink alcohol, because we are all adults here and it is your choice. We aren’t going go lecture you about the fact that drinking under...

Andrew Justus Oct 27, 2011

The next presidential race is fixing to be the most highly-funded presidential contest in history. With lax rules after the “Citizen’s United” case last year and an explosion in spending by so-called Super PACs, the 2012 run will easily eclipse...

Dating in college, part 7: In conclusion

Chris Slattery Oct 27, 2011

Note to self: Never, EVER do another column “series” again. Because I’ve obligated myself to continue talking about dating without interruptions, I have missed out on some juicy column topics, which are no longer topical: Occupy...

Here’s a statistic for you: the mean amount of money that all of Michigan’s 15 public universities receive is currently at $4,597 per student. Grand Valley State University, however, only receives about half of that at $2,365 per student. But...

Letter to the Editor: Not confronting disability alone

Oct 27, 2011

Just over a month ago, I was having a pretty awesome day. As I was leaving Zumberge to head to Spanish, I couldn’t help but try and spread my cheer to those I passed. One young girl in particular looked as though she needed some cheer so, without...

Navigating the technologized campus environment

Peter Zhang Oct 24, 2011

It’s unthinkable nowadays to function as a college student without a laptop computer. The technological environment of the university presupposes that we are equipped with certain gadgets. And for God’s sake, we do end up having them. We...

Dating in college, part 6: Better together?

Oct 24, 2011

Do you want a big congratulations, huh? Are you looking for a pat on the back? A parade? So you finally found someone who’s not embarrassed to be “Facebook official” with you? Big whoop. Being single sucks, but relationships are...
