We at Campus View certainly agree with your contention that sidewalks should be installed on Pierce Street between 42nd and 48th Street made in the Oct. 18 issue of the Lanthorn (and would add the stretch running past the golf course to that suggestion)....

One side of the story was presented very well while omitting readily available facts about the accident. The Sheriff’s Department may not have replied to confirm details of the accident to the Lanthorn but they did release a statement on Oct. 14...

As Grand Valley State University continues to upgrade its facilities and grounds, the addition of sidewalks should not be overlooked. Last year, a new Parking Transportation Traffic Committee formed at GVSU with the intent of evaluating traffic and...

It is pretty clear that illegally downloading music is a problem. Record companies are losing tons of money. I mean, $12.5 billion in a year is no small chunk of change (unless, of course, you are a weekly columnist for a college newspaper), and it surprised...

For the past several days my friend and roommate Zach Somples has been in the hospital recovering from injuries he sustained while bicycling to school on Pierce Street. He was forced Wednesday to ride his bike in the street due to the lack of adequate...
