While Mr. Slattery’s writing style is not exactly my cup of tea, more my cup of paint thinner, I must let it be known that his assertions about the Rapid, our beloved bus system, are pure poppycock. As an advocate of all transit which is public,...

In this our college community, bottled water is understandably popular for its professed clean, cold, portable, and affordable qualities, but Grand Valley, in reality, there is no real proof that it is cleaner than tap water (in fact, bottled water...

We get it, GVSU Police Department: You do not like it when we party. Well, I have a message for you, and I’m sure that a good deal of the student population will agree with me: We are not going to stop partying. Even with your oversized grants...

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...

Members of the Team Against Bias were shocked at the unintended flippancy within Chelsea Lane’s Oct. 10 article, “Ride along shows daily life on the other side of the door.” Within the article, which detailed what it’s like...
