Letter to Editor: Despite football loss, season should not be termed disappointment

Nov 29, 2010

This afternoon in football games played across the upper midwest, MSU won, as hoped, UM lost, as feared, and then GVSU played and … unexpectedly lost but also apparently unnoticed. Yes, our beloved Lakers lost in the 2nd round of the national football...

Letter to the Editor: defense of strip club lacks logical arguements

Nov 29, 2010

I am appalled by the ignorance and logical incoherency demonstrated in Jimmy Burger’s letter to the editor in the November 22 issue of the Lanthorn. Writing in response to the controversy over the Parkway Tropics strip club advertisement ran on...

Letter to the Editor: Extremely offended by crude, demeaning advertisement

Nov 23, 2010

I am writing in response to the advertisement taking up space on the back page of the Lanthorn (on Nov. 22). I turned the paper over to see spread before me an image of meat. As a vegetarian, it is extremely offensive to see an animal presented in this...

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

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...

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....

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...
