School pride MIA

Nov 22, 2010

In an editorial titled “Laker Nation?” in the Oct. 25 edition of the Lanthorn, the editorial staff called for fans of Grand Valley State University to support their support by showing out to more than just university football games. It praised...

Letter to the Editor: College students- a pack of show dogs

Nov 22, 2010

Thus far in my academia, I have been taught by Grand Valley to question certain aspects of education. Personally, I have always questioned education; “Why would I want to taste my mime going to ass when I can just live my wife?” (That last...

Letter to the Editor: Parkway Tropics advertises ‘lucrative business’

Nov 22, 2010

I am writing this letter to the editor concerning the Parkway Tropics ad in this weeks Lanthorn. I absolutely loved it. I believe advertising such establishments is a great way for the Lanthorn to raise the funds it needs to bring us quality news week...

Letter to the Editor: Ad sends demeaning message to women

Nov 22, 2010

(On Nov. 15), I was reading the Lanthorn, and I came upon an advertisement in section A6. This advertisement was advertising Parkway Tropics, a strip club. I was very offended and very sad. Why would you post an advertisement that encourages women to...

Holiday fliers may want to exercise in advance

Kevin VanAntwerpen Nov 22, 2010

Thanksgiving break is finally here, and I hope those of you traveling home by air have kept up on your aerobics. That’s because you may be baring it all – at least digitally – for an airline security guard before you’re allowed...

Letter to the Editor: Critics of Parkway Tropics ad come to defense of those who don’t need it

Nov 22, 2010

To the livid women who were clearly upset by the (Parkway Tropics) advertisement (in the Nov. 15 issue of the GV Lanthorn), I just have a few questions for you to consider. First of all, what offends you about a legitimate business advertising its product...

Letter to the Editor: ‘Crude’ ad reinforces stereotypes about women

Nov 22, 2010

On Monday November 15th, I learned the price of a half page advertisement for Parkway Tropics is the price of a woman’s dignity. Publishing such a crude ad only reinforces the psychopathology that for years saw women as food-makers and baby-producers....

Movie magic

Letter to the Editor: Space in Lanthorn should promote ‘something constructive, beneficial’

Nov 18, 2010

I am writing this to report that I am shocked and offended by the recent advertisement taking up half an entire newspaper page in the Lanthorn to the Parkway Tropics strip club. Not only is objectifying women in that manner something that I personally...

Female contraceptives should be covered, for men’s sake

Chris Slattery Nov 15, 2010

Should The Pill be on the bill? Absolutely. While I understand dissenting viewpoints, I still think it’s silly that this is up for debate. Similar to the Equal Rights Movement back in the ’60s, this issue shouldn’t be black and white...

The Landing provides quality meals, riverside dining

Lauren Fitch Nov 15, 2010

The goal of Restaurant Week was to get people to go to restaurants they might not normally try. For me, it accomplished this goal. After reporting on Restaurant Week, I decided I wanted to get in on the action and picked out a restaurant to try Saturday...

University makes weak effort in Battle of the Valleys

Nov 15, 2010

In this year’s Battle of the Valleys rivalry against Saginaw Valley State University, Grand Valley State University proved itself superior in football. And that’s where the praise stops. The other half of BOTV is an annual fundraising...
