A2 | NEWS NEWS BRIEFS GV TO HOST ALZHEIMER’S FORUM

Panelists from Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University and Spectrum Health will discuss Alzheimer’s disease Monday, Nov. 11. The forum will focus on the links between Alzheimer’s, care intervention and how the disease impacts communities.

Titled “Exploring the Latest in Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care,” the event is part of the Office of the Vice Provost for Health’s Your Health Series, which aims to educate audiences on both health care and available resources.

Rebecca Davis, Associate Dean of Research and Scholarship for the Kirkhof College of Nursing, will represent GVSU at the forum. Davis will be joined by section chief for neurology and clinical neuropsychology Mary McPhail-Ciufo and professor of translational neuroscience at MSU Nicholas Kanaan.

The event will take place from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the L. William Seidman Center on Pew Campus. Local health care professionals will be available to provide resources from 5:30-6:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public, and those interested can RSVP at gvsu.edu/vphealth.

ECONOMIST STUDIES LOCAL GROWTH, UNEMPLOYMENT RATES

Brian Long, Grand Valley State University Director of Supply Management Research in the Seidman College of Business, said the West Michigan economy is slowly growing, although signs in the world economy suggest stagnation.

Long surveyed local business owners in the last two weeks of October and found that despite the layoffs that hit West Michigan, local unemployment remains low.

“Of the 83 counties in Michigan, Ottawa County still posted the lowest unemployment rate at 2.7 percent,” Long said. “At 2.8 percent, Kent and Allegan counties tied for third place.”

Long anticipates that the local economy will continue to grow throughout November.

SPEAKER DISCUSSES DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Political philosopher Danielle Allen visited Grand Valley State University to address the Declaration of Independence and its wording in relation to equality.

The lecture was held at the Loosemore Auditorium Nov. 6 and was hosted by the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies.

Allen’s lecture aimed to educate attendees about the language of the Declaration of Independence, as well as the context of when it was written. She challenged the wording and posited that its phrasing undermines equality today.

Allen also serves as the director of Harvard University’s Edmund J. Safra Center for Ethics. She also wrote a book called “Our Declaration” and is a winner of the Francis Parkman Prize, which is awarded annually to nonfiction authors that cover themes in American history.

GV sees drop in enrollment, focuses on retention

BY AMY MCNEEL ASSOCIATE@LANTHORN.COM

Grand Valley State University welcomed one of its largest first-year classes this fall, with 4,301 first-year students. However, even with this impressive class size, the university still faced a drop in overall enrollment between fall 2018 and fall 2019.

“Our head count this fall was 24,033, and last fall it was 24,677, so that would be a 2.6 percent decrease,” said Vice President for Enrollment Development Lynn Blue. “I think that probably, one of the places we can look for reasons is retention — students staying and persisting rather than dropping in and out is a problem. It has a fair bit to do with retention, and fewer new graduate students is part of the issue as well.”

This drop in enrollment is not specific to GVSU, but is an issue across the country. Blue said a main cause of lower enrollment is fewer students graduating high school. According to the most recent edition of “Knocking at the College Door,” Michigan’s highest number of high school graduates was in 2008, with a total of 115,183 students, but that number has since dropped; only 98,073 students graduated from Michigan public high schools last year. Blue said this has to do with a decreasing population— people are having less children.

While the enrollment drop is disappointing, Blue said it isn’t surprising. She believes GVSU is still in a great spot, especially com-

pared to other universities.

“When the numbers come out from the other Michigan publics, we are in a much better spot than they are,” Blue said. “I mean, if you think about it, this year we had one of our largest incoming freshman classes, so that flies in the face of this. Not only was it one of the largest, but it was one of the brightest — we had the highest average GPA. So we didn’t go find less qualified students, it’s that good students

want to come here. The decline in and of itself is a story, but it’s a much bigger story than just, ‘Grand Valley lost some people.’”

Blue said GVSU has the third highest retention rate in the state, only behind the University of Michigan and Michigan State University.

AID

GV sees increase in financial aid for students

BY AUDREY WHITAKER AWHITAKER@LANTHORN.COM

Based on the data in the 2017-2018 Annual Financial Aid Report, the total financial aid awarded by Grand Valley State University increased from $60 million in 2015-16 to $65.2 million in 2017-18.

Associate Director of the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships Jenna Poll said the increase in total financial aid awarded to students at GVSU is based on the increasing number of students applying for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Poll said students applying to GVSU are eli-

gible for three types of financial aid.

“One of your first applications for financial aid is the admissions application, and that’s automatically your merit scholarship application,” Poll said. “The next big application is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and that’s the application for federal loans, the Federal Pell Grant, and then Grand Valley uses that application to award Grand Valley grants as well.”

Poll said the increase of students filing the FAFSA is the result of the state of Michigan offering incentives to high schools that encourage students to apply for federal financial loans.

“We have noticed high school guidance counselors getting more involved in the process,” Poll said. “More recently, compared to even a few years ago. I know that the state of Michigan is offering more incentives in the high schools for students to get their FAFSA filed. That is where those higher FAFSA numbers are coming from every year.”

RECOGNITION

PRSSA chapter takes home 4 major awards at international conference

BY OLIVIA FELLOWS OFELLOWS@LANTHORN.COM

Grand Valley State University boasts over 400 unique student-run organizations on campus, and many of these groups are recognized for the work they do. One of these is GVSU’s Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) chapter, whose leading members recently traveled to San Diego, California, in October for the PRSSA international conference. While there, the organization received four different awards, including Outstanding Faculty Adviser of the Year for Adrienne Wallace, the chapter’s faculty adviser.

The chapter also received the Star Chapter Award for the seventh year running, the University College Service Award and the Outstanding PRSA/PRSSA Chapter Relationship with West Michigan Public Relations Society of America (WMPRSA). Chapter President Delaney MacKenzie said she is incredibly proud of the work the chapter has done and believes that the awards were well-earned and the result of a major team effort.

“We were honored to be recognized with four awards this year, and it was our former 2018-2019 executive board that was so dedicated and worked hard to make these achievements possible,” MacKenzie said. “They have

motivated us to continue setting our bar for success higher every year, and also reminded us of the importance of relationships, without which we would not be where we are today.”

MacKenzie also said that the awards wouldn’t have been possible without the award-winning leadership of Wallace. The award entry was submitted by Courtney Fogle, a GVSU alumna and former GVPRSSA podcast director of PR Hangover, which Wallace helps produce. The award celebrates faculty that are dedicated to their students in terms of support, mentorship and professional advice.

Fogle wrote in her submission that Wallace is a leader in the field who has dedicated her time to being a mentor, embodying passion and influence in everything she does. Wallace said that she was honored enough to be nominated, but winning only motivated her to further help the chapter in achieving its goals.

“Just the fact that the chapter nominated me for this award was flattering enough, but winning it, that was just over the top,” Wallace said. “I’m proud of everything that we do. We put on amazing programming, mentor peers, have a strong relationship with our parent chapter, win national awards that are usually reserved for much larger or older chapters, we’re selected to lead on a national level at conferences and initiatives, we train

other chapters and I am as motivated to help them as they are to succeed.”

The University College Service Award was given to GVSU’s chapter for the integrated communications campaign done with GrandPR, GVSU’s student-run, nationally-affiliated public relations firm.

The campaign entertained Sawyer’s Day, which was a themed event made to drive attendance to the GVSU men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader match in February 2019. Sawyers were chosen as a nod to GVSU history when the university nearly changed its mascot from “Lakers” to “Sawyers” in 1965.

The chapter received the Chapter Relationship Award for their relationship-building efforts with WMPRSA. Their advanced communication and collaboration with the organization earned them the national recognition, and the relationship between the two chapters continues to grow. The chapter was honored with the Star Chapter Award for provided programming and relationship-building opportunities for students and rewarded them for achieving these goals.

Plateauing in expansion, enrollment?

F

rom Kinschi to Holton-Hooker to the Clock Tower to the Kirkhof Parking Lot, those who have been around Grand Valley State University for a few years are no strangers to cranes and construction tape. Each summer is marked by piles of dirt and rock as students and staff make adjustments to their walking and driving routes, and occasionally that all spills into the beginning of the fall semester.

The university has announced the next two rounds of construction: renovations to Mackinac and Manitou Halls this upcoming summer and an expansion of Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences (CHS) Simulation Center the year after.

GVSU has often prided itself on its emphasis on innovation and expansion. But with declining enrollment due to retention rates and lower high school class sizes, we wonder if it’s time for GVSU to change its branding. Should a plateau in the expansions and growth be near? We think so.

Since its first class in 1963, GVSU’s enrollment has increased from just 224 students to 24,033 this year.

The most notable period of growth was from 1995 to 2006, where enrollment increased on an average of about 850 students per year.

Since then, it has remained

steadily in the 23,000 to 25,000 range.

And while the 201920 school year hosts one of our largest freshman classes, it also marks a 2.6 percent decrease in overall enrollment since last year.

This is partially due to issues with retention, a drop in graduate students and a state-wide drop in the young adult population.

While the drop in enrollment may not be a large cause for concern, it may mark a change in GVSU’s fast-paced approach to growth. After 59 years of expanding infrastructure, course catalogs and offered majors, GVSU might start changing its focus from expansion to renovation.

We know we can grow and we know we can attract new freshman. But if GVSU has to tighten its purse-strings in upcoming years, perhaps the focus should be on fostering the buildings, programs and initiatives we already have.

The planned renovations to CHS and Mackinac and Manitou halls reflect a start in this endeavor, and may be a foreshadowing for what’s to come.

Perhaps after years of rapid expansion, the university can take a breath and start focusing on the renovation of what we do have — making our existing campus the best it can be.

Rewind the Decade: Best female albums of the 2010s

BY RYAN REICHARD JUNIOR MULTIMEDIA JOURNALISM EDITORIAL@LANTHORN.COM

The 2010 era was an obscure decade, one that was bound by playlists swollen with algorithmic recommendations that had no clear cohesive vision. The same was true for many of the artists who released albums over the last decade.

series of new releases that featured surprise albums, visual albums and albums longer than in any decade before (most of which were pioneered by female artist). As these forms progress from one decade to the next here are the bestfemale albums of the 2010s.

1) “Red” – Taylor Swift “Red” is Swift at some of her most vulnerable, a portrait of a young star desperate to feel everything that life has to offer and Swift does exactly that.

Across the albums 16 tracks (Swift’s longest up to that point, having been surpassed by “Lover’s” 18 tracks), Swift is able to capture small, pinnacle moments in her life, the temptation of risk (“Treacherous”), the rush of a memory and its disappointment as it recedes (“Holy Ground”) and Swift experiencing romantic love in a more mature and honest way than she had done on

previous releases.

“Red” delved deeper into not only the pop sounds that Swift had explored on previous albums “Fearless” and “Speak Now,” but also sounds that she had not previously explored. The album’s opener, “State of Grace,” is Swift doing her best Springsteen-inspired arena anthem so well that she has not ventured into that territory again.

The title track dared to mix banjos and auto tune setting a staple in country music for the years after it. “I Knew You Were Trouble” mixed seething electric guitars with pop synths and an EDM drop on the chorus to create one of Swift’s most daring statements. That’s only the first half.

You know that friend you have?

The friend that does really weird stuff? And most of the time, you dismiss that weird stuff because your friend is probably just a silly person?

But sometimes you look into that

friend’s eyes and you catch a glimpse of the depths at which they’re operating, and you wonder if they know exactly what they’re doing and if they’re doing it for some reason that you’ll never truly understand?

To me, the First Amendment can be that friend.

Sure, in the long run, it’s a good thing to have around, but it gets up to some really weird stuff sometimes.

Like, when it allows actual Nazis to goose-step down the streets of Charlottesville, Va., or when it’s used

by Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, as an excuse to profit off of misinformation campaigns.

A few weeks ago, at Georgetown University, Mark Zuckerberg spoke about the First Amendment, free speech

and how things have changed.

“Movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo went viral on Facebook,” Zuckerberg said. “With Facebook, more than two billion people now have a greater opportunity to express themselves and help others.”

Zuckerberg is right; without social media, activists wouldn’t have as wide of a reach as they do now. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are critical for circulating messages and ideas to large groups of people.

That is exactly why what he said later in that speech is very concerning.

“We don’t fact-check political ads,” Zuckerberg said.

New entrepreneurship program prepares for launch in January

BY SEAN CAUVET SCAUVET@LANTHORN.COM

A new program for student entrepreneurs will begin at Grand Valley State University next semester, sponsored by the Center of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The program, called 77 IdeaLab, will change the way that ideas are able to come to fruition for the next generation of students at GVSU. Although no students are enrolled yet, the Director of the Center of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Shorouq Almallah, is excited about the role of the program on GVSU’s campus.

“Accelerator programs like this one are important because they play a big role in creating an ecosystem for startups that provide infrastructure, support and training and other services that would be difficult or time consuming for the student to figure it out on their own,” Almallah said.

“The students will have access to mentors and coaches from the university as well as experienced entrepreneurs and industry experts form the community.”

A big factor in the start of the program is giving students a place to bring their ideas and passion.

“Universities are seeing an increase in students pursuing their passions by being ‘dorm’ or garage entrepreneurs,” Almallah said. “Since 1995, universities have formed nearly 11,000 startup companies that supported the creation of 3.8 million jobs.

With comprehensive support, access to funding and resources, accelerated knowledge and skill development, 77 IdeaLab is going to create a platform to help GVSU students take their creative ideas out of the dorm, and help elevate them to the next level and scale their impact.”

Almallah added that the projects will be done in groups to keep the students constantly moving forward and to maximize the impact on the community.

“Since this will be done in a cohort model, the teams will get to interact and learn from each other throughout the process,” Almallah said. “Access to funding is another major benefit to this program. Each team that is accepted into the program will receive a $1,000 grant as seed funding for their ideas.”

With this funding, 77 IdeaLab program director Matt Gira said students are afforded the ability to be as creative as their mind will let them without the consequences of a post-college work place environment.

“The value it creates for students is that they can start a business with a lot less risk than if they start a business after they graduate,” Gira said. “In a lot of ways, we act as training wheels as they learn how to be an entrepreneur. We can’t guarantee success, but we can at least give them a better shot at it.”

Gira is most excited about giving students

the opportunity to find and fulfill their purposes, as well as preparing them for the future.

“At the end of the day, entrepreneurship is just solving world class problems, and we’re giving students opportunities to identify those problems and tackle them head-on in innovative ways,” Gira said.

The name for the program came about in an interesting way. Almallah wanted to pay homage to the roots of the Center of Entreprenurship and Innovation by referencing its history.

“People often ask me where the 77 comes from,” Almallah said. “The number references the year 1977, when the first entrepreneurship class was offered at GVSU. I found old memos dating back to 1977 from President Lubbers to Marv DeVries (the late dean of

the business school), discussing establishing the entrepreneurship center and offering the first entrepreneurship class at GVSU.” Applications for 77 IdeaLab are due Dec. 3 at 6 p.m. and can be completed on the GVSU Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation website. Gira says the program only has one requirement for a student to get involved and reap its benefits.

“All a student needs to be part of the program is a problem that they’re passionate about,” Gira said. “They don’t necessarily need an idea or business plan. We can help formulate the idea around the problem they are passionate about.”

For Almallah, 77 IdeaLab has been in the works for many years. Now, the program will be kick started in January and take stu-

dents through a journey until the end of the semester in April, which includes different events such as alumni night, networking workshops, feedback sessions, investor pitching and many more that help the students achieve their goals.

“I’ve had this desire and goal to create this resource for our students for many years,” Almallah said. “I have been working on this for the past couple of years to set things in motion, as well as secure resources, funding, staffing and space to make the program happen. Creating the 77 IdeaLab was an entrepreneurial venture in and of itself. It is challenging at times to get all the pieces together to launch something, but it is very gratifying when you see in idea that was sketched on a Post-it note come to life.”

Great Waters, Great Economy: Water discussion held at GV

BY MACKENZIE KELLER NEWS@LANTHORN.COM

On Monday, Nov. 4, Grand Valley State University hosted a Community Collaborations event with the “Your Water, Your Voice” campaign and the Center for Michigan.

GVSU opted to host a community conversation on the economic activity associated with water. This town hall meeting was open to the public and was attended by many GVSU students and members of the community. Students and citizens alike contributed valuable input.

These community conversations are a part of the Center for Michigan’s “Your Water, Your Voice” campaign to capture the sentiments and thoughts of the Grand Rapids community. The Center for Michigan is a “nonpartisan think and do tank” that publishes Bridge Magazine, a public resource that reports on key issues affecting Michigan citizens.

Allie Schmidt from the Center for Michigan led the conversation with a presentation filled with participation from the audience.

She discussed the center’s plan for the future and the Your Water, Your Voice campaign.

Clickers were distributed among the members of the audience to gather information in real time. As Schmidt spoke, participants were able to respond to the questions and prompts she gave.

The audience was also provided with the Center for Michigan’s Fall 2019 citizen’s guide to Michigan’s water systems and issues. They were able to reference the guide, called “Lake to Tap,” as background information before they pitched in and contributed with their responses to the polling and discussion prompts.

The Center for Michigan and Bridge Magazine is in the process of completing the Citizen’s Water Report, which will be distributed to every elected official in Michigan upon completion. Soon after, it will be available for access by the public.

“My goal was to provide an opportunity for the GVSU community and West Michigan community members to share their thoughts and opinions regarding the economic activity associated with our natural waters with a nonpartisan news and information sharing publication like Bridge Magazine,” said event coordinator Travus Burton.

More information about the Center for Michigan and the Your Water, Your Voice Campaign can be found at bridgemi.com. The center is still hosting events to discuss the campaign, with the next scheduled for Nov. 14.

The second annual FOIA Fest was held Tuesday, Nov. 5 at the DeVos Center on Pew Campus. The event, which focuses on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), partnered with Big Data Ignite to expand beyond FOIA. Grand Valley State University multimedia journalism professor Jeff Kelly Lowenstein said that the expansion of the event was exciting, since the first FOIA Fest was a two-hour workshop that brought in around 100 people. The 2019 event ranged throughout the entire day and involved more participants.

“We were downtown, and we were part of the (Big Data Ignite) conference, so there were about... 350 attendees for Big Data Ignite who could go to all of the

FOIA Fest events,” Kelly Lowenstein said.

The event featured GVSU alumna and investigative reporter Marisa Kwiatkowski, who broke the Larry Nassar abuse scandal with her team at the Indy Star.

GVSU Student Journalism Club officer Kayla Sosa introduced Kwiatkowski and briefly interviewed her before allowing student journalists to ask questions.

Kelly Lowenstein said his students enjoyed the hands-on session and Kwiatkowski’s attention to their questions.

FOIA Fest also featured State Senator Jeremy Moss, who discussed the FOIA legislation in Michigan, and a presentation on data visualization by Washington Post journalist John Muyskens.

Building renovations to come in 2020, 2021 for Allendale, Pew campuses

BY KYLIE ELWELL KELWELL@LANTHORN.COM

On Nov. 1, Grand Valley State University’s Board of Trustees voted to renovate buildings on both Allendale and Pew campuses. The buildings included are Mackinac Hall, Manitou Hall and the Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences (CHS) Simulation Center.

All projects are being funded by the Campus Development Fund.

Mechanical renovations will be done to Mackinac Hall and Manitou Hall in 2020.

It’s proposed to include two new air handling units and associated equipment, an energy recovery unit, improved distribution and temperature controls, the addition of a fire suppression system, the replacement of the fire alarm system, new ceiling, lighting, flooring, paint and the renovation of three classrooms. The total budget for this project will be $4.3 million.

“The mechanical systems are 52 years old and past their service life,” said Karen Ingle, Associate Vice President for Facilities Planning. “The mechanical renovations are necessary for improved thermal comfort, energy efficiency, indoor air quality and code compliance.”

An expansion will be added to the Simulation Center located in the CHS building downtown in 2021. It will accommodate the pressure on programs that require simulation

for formative skill development and summative competency-based high stakes testing, which are embedded components within curriculum. The total budget for this project will be $5.5 million.

“The expanded and improved Simulation Center will be a key part of our Health Campus,” said Ed Aboufadel, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. “The design allows for a student to follow a patient through a continuum of care from in-patient hospital simulation, to out-patient doctor’s office simulation, to home health care and telemed simulation. This kind of practice is critical to the education of nursing and health sciences students.”

These changes are designed to be useful to the university because they will enhance student learning environments to be better and more equipped for the tasks that they need to complete within their studies. New computer labs with new equipment in Manitou Hall, as well as expansion to the Simulation Center will open up better experiences for GVSU students.

The design process for these spaces took about six months to plan out and develop for the best results after renovations. The start of the Mackinac Hall and Manitou Hall projects will begin in May 2020 with completion in August 2020. The Simulation Center expansion will begin in May 2021 and be completed in August 2021.

With political climates polarizing, Grand Valley State University’s fifth annual Civic Discourse Symposium will educate students about the skills needed to have difficult conversations. The 2019 symposium, titled “Civic Discourse Cafe: Complicated Conversations,” will feature speakers focusing on water issues and climate change.

Associate professor of anthropology Elizabeth Arnold, who also holds the Padnos/Sarosik endowed professorship for civil discourse, said the speakers sharing personal stories can teach attendees how to approach tough discussions.

“Story telling can be an effective means of civil discourse because it helps establish both rapport and empathy,” Arnold said.

“Storytelling is the fundamental communication skill that we have learned is missing from climate change communication.”

Attendees will have the opportunity to practice their civil discourse skills surrounding water and equity in this interactive symposium.

Videographer Peter Sinclair will speak about his experience working on climate

change and renewable energy issues. Project coordinator for GVSU’s Division of Inclusion and Equity Lin Bardwell, who also serves as the Grand Rapids Community Relations commissioner, will also share stories.

While past topics have included the intersectionality of Michigan, climate change and immigration, the focus on water connects to GVSU’s two-year Making Waves About Water initiative, which emphasizes collaboration and activities relating to water issues. The symposium also ties into GVSU’s focus on democracy by exposing students to varying opinions and learning how to address them.

The Padnos/Sarosik endowed professorship is housed in the Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies after being gifted from longtime supporters Shelley Padnos and Carol Sarosik. The professorship allows a professor to work with GVSU students on practicing their civil discourse skills.

The event will be held Nov. 19 from 6-8 p.m. at the Paul A. Johnson Conference Hall in Eberhard Center on Pew Campus. It is free and open to the public, and RSVPs can be submitted at gvsu.edu/civildiscourse.

Before flying home to Australia for the holidays after their tour, alternative rock band Castlecomer endured the Michigan cold to provide an energetic opening performance for Ripe in Grand Rapids.

Lead vocalist Bede Kennedy strutted on the Intersection’s Elevation stage with cousins Pat “Patch” Kennedy on drums, Tommy Kennedy on guitar, Joe Kennedy on bass and their childhood friend Joe Neely on keys.

While family bands tend to not see further than a local audience, Castlecomer has found themselves touring internationally and performing hits from their debut album released in 2018.

Patch sees the familial bond as a strength over other bands.

“A lot of bands break up because of having been with each other 24/7, but we’ve been together since we were born,” Patch said. “It’s not that different, except that we’re driving.”

Patch said the development of the band was a natural process since they were already close and all already played instruments.

While his bandmates grew up playing instruments, Patch did not start playing drums until he was 16 or 17.

With his lighthearted dance moves and use of a cowbell, vocalist Bede Kennedy commanded the stage with exuberant enthusiasm and stylish red sunglasses. Bede used the entire surface of Elevation’s stage, including the stands right in front of the barricades. He encouraged the audience to dance and even led them through simple choreography for one of his songs.

The cowbell made an appearance during the band’s most popular song, “Fire Alarm,” which reached number six on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart and features over nine million streams. While they could not have predicted the international explosion of the song, Patch said he thought the song stood out as something that really worked for them when they were writing it.

Castlecomer’s discography features a variety of themes ranging from love, loss and freedom. Patch said the band likes to write songs around the idea of not conforming

to the mundane nature of a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. work schedule, and going out and doing what they want to do.

In addition to Castlecomer’s original songs from their most recent album, they performed two new and unreleased songs and a cover of Tal Bachman’s 1999 hit “She’s So High.”

Castlecomer’s performance consisted of only eight songs, however, the band brought an energy to the stage which adequately warmed up the crowd for Ripe.

“I think we pride ourselves on our live show,” Patch said. “If anyone has any doubt, send them all to the show and show them what we are about.”

During the show, Castlecomer announced that new music is on the way, exciting fans and giving them something to look forward to beyond the set’s close.

SOULFUL SOUND: Ripe values the concert experience and hopes to make it easy for its fans to “find that extra moment” through witnessing each of their unique live sets. GVL | CALEB WORPEL

Within the walls of Elevation at the Intersection, Ripe vocalist Robbie Wulfsohn led the seven-piece band in a funky performance that submerged the crowd in a dome of positivity and openness.

The Boston-based band Ripe performed in Grand Rapids for the first time in their career Friday, Nov. 8. The seven bandmates, all raised in different corners of the United States and Canada, assembled as a musical force while enrolled at Berklee College of Music. Ripe was drawn to the Grand Rapids area because of their familiarity with bands whose early careers rooted back to Michigan, including Vulfpeck and Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers.

Wulfsohn and his bandmates mesh brass instruments with electric guitars and wind instruments to create a funky sound that could not be pinned down to just one genre. Ripe includes Jon Becker and Tory Geisbar on guitar, Sampson Hellerman on drums, Nadav Shapira on bass, Calvin Barthel on trombone and Josh Shpak on trumpet and EWI. Seven members in a band could potentially lead to conflict, however, Wulfsohn said they keep a solid dynamic by prioritizing the equal involvement of every member. One way they distribute work is by alternating who makes the setlist for each show.

“Having this many people all equally committed, all close friends and ready to take on whatever our careers throw at us, is nothing but a positive,” said Wulfsohn.

Wulfsohn said he believes a concert should provide fans with an experience they cannot properly replicate by streaming the songs at home. Along with reviving their streamable songs with improvisation and samples from popular music, they performed a song that is not available online, called “Recent Buddhist”.

“A concert is a place where ideally people all get together and feel close to the same thing at the same time, and you come into it for a hundred different reasons, but

you leave with bridges built between you and the band and the other people who are also there for the band,” Wulfsohn said. “I think if we can take that space and build these values into that space, I can get excited about what could happen.”

Throughout the concert, Wulfsohn praised the energetic and merchandise-clad fans for their enthusiasm. Some fans in the crowd showed their Ripe pride by wearing green headbands.

In Ripe’s Spotify bio, it says “they are here to look at joy with the same depth as most people look at sadness.”

Elaborating on this defining theme present in their music, Wulfsohn said, “It feels like the methodologies of people, almost without realizing it, is to treat happy places as distractions and dark and intense places as the ‘real thing.’”

After providing examples of personal hardships, such as losing a parent or a job, Wulfsohn said looking at difficult life events through a different lens is important to the coping process.

“Those are the things that I think happiness needs to be best served, to actually bring you out of a dark place, not to just be the icing on top of an otherwise good day,” Wulfsohn said.

Ripe wrapped up the concert with one of their most popular songs, “Pretty Dirty (in the Fading Light).” This was one of the earliest Ripe songs and was first released in their debut EP, Produce the Juice. Wulfsohn said he was inspired to write this song after talking to his friends about their summer loves.

“Something clicked in me that everyone — at least the people in that particular conversations — were weirdly at peace even through a thing had ended,” Wulfsohn said.

The crowd was left with a similar kind of peace and positivity as the final encore closed the concert and they filed out of the venue, carrying along an experience that can not be streamed.

FRENCH DEPARTMENTS UNITE TO CELEBRATE CULTURE THROUGH FILM The French departments of Grand Rapids Community College and Grand Valley State University joined forced to organize the third edition of the Tournées Film Festival.

At the downtown campuses of GRCC and GVSU, French films will be shown in the evenings of Nov. 15-16 and 22-23. The festival is opening on Nov. 15 with the screening of the 2018 French film “Tazzeka” at GRCC ‘s Wisner-Bottrall Applied Technology Center Auditorium Room 168.

In addition to the collaboration between GRCC and GVSU, the film festival was supported by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the U.S., the Centre National du Cinema et de l’lmage Animee (CNC), the French American Cultural Fund, Florence Gould Foundation and Highbrow Entertainment.

CULTURE

Film festival interacts with culture

BY AVA OSTACH ARTS@LANTHORN.COM

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and the Middle Eastern Studies Program held a film festival in Area 51 on Nov. 6 and 7 in the Kirkhof Center.

Starting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 6, the film “Oray” was shown and on Thursday, Nov. 7, the festival showed “Between Allah and Me (And Everyone Else).”

The film festival focuses on Muslims living in the west. In “Oray,” there is a focus held on a man and his wife’s relationship struggles and the interpretation of the Quran. The documentary “Between Allah and me (And Everyone Else)” emphasizes the struggle of Western Muslims questioning whether or not to wear the veil.

Before the showing of the movie, there was an introduction put on by professor Majd Al-Mallah to give students a preface of what the movie entails before going into it. At the end, he held an open discussion in order to get student input and to explore the movie’s meaning in more depth.

The main character in the film “Oray” must explore the confrontation of his own identity struggles as well as his complex relationship issues with his wife. This takes place in Germany and focuses on a group of Turkish Muslims.

The film centralizes on him proclaiming the word “talaq” three times which is interpreted to mean divorce in the Quran. There is a huge question of the interpretation of Is-

lamic law in this movie and what this means for them in modern times.

When asked why these movies were chosen, Al-Mallah said, “Typically the films focus on the Arab world and Middle East region, but this year the decision was to focus on Muslims in the West as a theme. At the beginning of the semester, we partnered with Aquinas College to host the director of the film ‘Oray,’ who visited campus in September.

The film was shown at Aquinas at that time,

but we wanted to give our students the opportunity to watch it here as well.”

At the end of the showing of the movies, there was an interactive discussion about the movies after its showing. There, it becomes an open board of discussion on the deeper analysis of the film: what it means to be Muslim in the West. Here, themes are explored such as maturity, questions of faith, interpretation of religious text and everyday issues faced by the Islamic community.

GVSU’s student run theatre organization, STAGE, will present their array of skits Nov. 15 and 16 in Area 51. The show is written, directed, acted and teched entirely by GVSU students. While the event is free, STAGE is accepting donations which they will put towards purchasing new props.

STAGE’s show is titled “Yikes!,” alluding to the tone of the performance. The collection of short plays will include a variety of “wild” themes which aim to make the audience laugh. For both nights, the shows begin at 8 p.m.

START CONVERSATIONS WITH REACT! ReACT! is GVSU’s peer theatre troupe dedicated to promote anti-violence to all students on campus. The troupe is through the Center for Women and Gender Equity and is putting on a show Nov. 17 to encourage dialogues about sexual assault and sexual harassment.

ReACT!’s performance of “Difficult Dialogues” will take place 8-10 p.m. in Kirkhof Room 2263. During this performance, student actors will be acting out scenarios which will prompt questions and discussion about difficult situations that college students often find themselves in.

FILMING HISTORY: Film director Marian Marzynski screens and discusses his film during a screening at GVSU. COURTESY | PBS.ORG

On Monday, Nov. 4, award-winning film director Marian Marzynski screened his film, “Never Forget to Lie” at 7 p.m. in the Loosemore Auditorium on Grand Valley State University’s Pew Campus.

The hour-long film, which was released in 2013, is about Jewish children surviving the Holocaust by hiding among the Polish population. Marzynksi both directed and narrated the film.

GVSU Professor of English Rob Franciosi has been a fan of Marzynski’s documentary films for years, and shows two of them to his Honors College Holocaust class. About a year ago, he decided to contact Marzynski to organize a visit to the university.

The screening was supported by the Joseph Stevens Freedom Endowment which was established in 1990 to fund educational lectures with a special focus on the history of the Holocaust. Marzynski himself is a Holocaust survivor, and similarly to the stories presented in him film, he too was a hidden child.

Marzynski has a grand total of 33 films under his belt and won the Guggenheim Fellow-

ship for Creative Arts, US & Canada in 1982.

There were about 125-140 people in attendance and throughout the screening, and Marzynski could be found walking among the audience to answer any questions and even ask some of his own.

Franciosi noted that he did so in a “very warm and intimate fashion.”

“It’s one thing to see a film and then talk about it with its creator, but it’s far more compelling, I think, when the creator is also a presence in the film,” Fanciosi said.

The film allowed hidden children of the Holocaust to share their stories, while simultaneously allowing Marzynksi to speak on his past.

Franciosi said he found the audience to be particularly moved by “those scenes in which survivors in their 70s and 80s seemed to return to the emotions of being a child during those traumatic times.”

Marzynski commented on these scenes during the discussion of the screening.

“The older you get, the more frequently the child knocks on the door,” Marzynski said.

LIVE MUSIC

The Culdesac Kids, GV Groove sing the night away amidst the stress of November

BY MARY DUPUIS ARTS@LANTHORN.COM

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, the Grand Valley State University Campus Activities Board (CAB) and an eager audience welcomed the band, The Culdesac Kids, to perform for their annual event entitled, “The Coffeehouse Concert Series.”

The performance was held in Area 51 in the Kirkhof Center at 8 p.m. The free concert was open to all students, and provided a relaxing “coffeehouse” like atmosphere that was filled to the brim with friends, coffee, hot chocolate and donut holes for all to enjoy.

The Culdesac Kids are a band of two — including Stevie Jo Rosenbalm and Collin Hauser — from Dallas, Texas.

Both members sing, while Rosenbalm plays the cajon and Hauser plays the guitar and saxophone. The band covers a wide range of genres from the blues and jazz to pop and indie pop.

According to Rosenbalm, the pair was a match made in heaven since day one.

“We met four years ago in late 2015 and it was because I joined a big crazy twelve piece cover band for weddings and corporate events,” Rosenbalm said. “Collin was in it and was singing and playing the saxophone and the company needed a singer. I was living in Austin and just kind of fell into the band; and we met and hit it off instantly. We knew we were going to be friends for life.”

The Live Music Director of CAB, Teri Jones, was in charge of organizing this event and booked The Culdesac Kids in September at a National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) convention.

Jones said from the moment she heard the band perform she knew they would be the perfect remedy for stressed students during the busy semester.

“I love their music, I love their personality. There’s something about them that gives off this vibe where you can just go up to them and have a cool conversation,” said Jones. “I hope the audience left relaxed because it’s November, it’s a stressful time of the semester. So my hope is that they can just say ‘Oh, I really like The Culdesac Kids, I think I’ll listen to them.’”

But, The Culdesac Kids were not alone; GVSU’s a capella group, GV Groove, kicked off the night by performing three songs for the crowd.

The President of GV Groove, Jillian Bucaro, said that the group loved opening for the band, and valued the experience greatly.

“I think it’s really cool when you get to open up for another music group because it’s like musicians sharing with musicians and encouraging each other and seeing what each other is able to do,” Bucaro said.

However, it was not just GV Groove that benefit from their opening act. The band felt that their performance set the perfect mood, and created a fun atmosphere to be in for the evening.

“GV Groove set a great tone for the rest of the night,” Hauser said. “It was so cool to have talented students perform. They made up a portion of the audience too, which made it even more rewarding for us to be able to sing for vocalists that could tell the intricacies of what we might be doing that somebody else may not be able to.

It makes it more enjoyable for us because we know that they understand.”

Rosenbalm agrees, and felt that GV Groove being there even took his performance to another level. “[Their opening] was a much bigger help to the overall vibe than I think anybody even realizes” Rosenbalm said. “There was almost a bit of nerves on that aspect of things be-

cause it was like ‘Man, they’re going to hear everything.’ It made me want to be better for them, so that was cool. I think it made my performance better.”

As much as the performers were able to help each other, the audience had a large impact on the concert as well.

“It’s really fun playing intimate shows like this, smaller shows where there’s about 30-50 people,” Hauser said. “It feels like you get to know the audience as a collective personality. The audience tonight was really checked in and attentive and intentional about listening, and that makes us better.”

The band hopes that the audience was able to let go and have fun, and that they know how important it is to not take themselves too seriously.

“We’re trying to keep it light in the sense

that nobody is taking themselves too seriously, it doesn’t have to be such a big deal,” Rosenbalm said. “I hope they take away just finding the stupid humor in everything.”

Hauser agrees, and feels that the atmosphere was so special because everyone was there to be with one another, and soak up the tunes being played.

“When Stevie and I come together it really turns into something fun,” Hauser said. “It’s about the music and the fun and the experience. It’s not about us or the audience, it’s about all of us having a good time. No one’s more important than anyone else, the audience or the performer. It’s all of us together.”

The night concluded with hugs from the band members and the exchanging of social media accounts to stay in touch; everyone benefitting from a night of sipping, singing and smiling together as one.

The Latino Student Union (LSU) hosted a Latin Grammy’s Dance Friday, Nov. 8 in celebration of Latin culture.

The theme of this year’s dance was Latin Grammy’s, and celebrated Latinx performers who have made an impact on the music world. Members of the LSU performed dressed up as Latinx celebrities that have won awards at the real Latin Grammy’s in the past.

LSU Secretary Gabriela Herrera said that the event is the LSU’s biggest celebration, with only one per semester.

“Music specifically in our culture plays

such a large role in our everyday lives,” Herrera said. “It connects us from different walks of life and the event is meant to symbolize everyone coming together despite our differences out of joy for music.”

LSU President Jose Contreras and Vice President Elvia Mendez started off the night by welcoming guests and introducing the hosts for the night: Rebeca Barajas and Clara Bernal. Barajas then spoke about the history of the Latin Grammy’s.

“The concept of a separate Grammy Award began in 1989, the Latin music industry was very popular and this led to the first annual Latin Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California in 2000, and this year they’re going to be celebrating their 20th an-

nual Latin Grammy Awards,” Barajas said.

Throughout the evening, there were performances by Andres Garcia, a reenactment of a real Latin Grammy Awards where students dressed up as celebrities and accepted the awards, and a dance performance by Nancy Roman. Categories for the awards included best Banda album, best urban song, best alternative song, and best Mexican-American album.

Throughout the awards show, members of the LSU performed as the celebrities they dressed up as, and sang along to the award winning songs in front of the audience. At the end of the awards show, attendees were invited onto the dance floor to continue celebrating Latin culture.

GVSU Football falls to Ferris State in Anchor Bone Classic

BY KELLEN VOSS SPORTS@LANTHORN.COM

The No. 14 Grand Valley State football team traveled to Big Rapids Saturday, Nov. 9, and lost to the No. 2 Ferris State Bulldogs, 21-16. The loss brings the Laker record to 8-2, with no chance to get higher than second place in the GLIAC standings.

The Lakers had good momentum early, earning a 9-7 lead partially thanks to a 79yard scoop-and-score by senior linebacker Isaiah Nkansah. Nkansah recorded the fourth longest fumble recovery in school history on that score.

Even after that large return, a key penalty on the kickoff gave the Bulldogs great field position for a quick touchdown to cut the margin, as GVSU led 9-7 heading into the half. GVSU coach Matt Mitchell said giving up that touchdown ended up being costly in the long term.

“That personal foul call on the kickoff leading to the touchdown hurt us quite a bit,” Mitchell said. “But what hurt us even more was having to punt the ball away to a team that had all the momentum.”

That momentum GVSU built in the first half was again halted in the third quarter, as FSU scored two touchdowns to take a 21-9 lead heading into the fourth.

Corralling two third-quarter Ferris State fumbles and junior Tyler Bradfield securing the first down on a fake punt helped give the Laker offense more opportunities in that second half.

The Laker offense didn’t do much with those opportunities, as junior quarterback Cole Kotopka finished the game only completing 10 of his 26 passes for 190 yards, throwing twice as many interceptions (2) than touchdowns (1).

GVSU couldn’t capitalize or come up with any points on the fumbles, thanks to more pre-snap penalties and punting in the

second half than Mitchell cared for.

“Our defense gave us a lot of opportunities with those fumbles,” Mitchell said “But our offense couldn’t capitalize on them, and we need to be more efficient on offense if we want to keep winning football games.”

The Laker offense saw signs of life late in the fourth quarter, with Kotopka finding junior wide receiver Brandon Wadley again for a 62-yard touchdown, cutting the Bulldog lead to five points. Despite an inconsistent offensive attack, Wadley eclipsed the 1,000yard career mark in the Laker uniform on Saturday.

It ended up being too little, too late, as a recovered onside kick by Ferris State secured the win.

Many players for GVSU were impacted by injuries in the game. The team-leading pass catcher in senior wide receiver Austin Paritee went down on the first offensive series with a leg injury after being knocked to

the ground by a Ferris State defender on a blatant pass interference call.

Paritee wasn’t the only Laker hurt in the game, as junior Dennis Johnson came up hobbling after being chop blocked and left the game in the third quarter. Both starting corners, senior DaMario Johnson and senior Jaylen Moore, missed series in the second half due to cramping.

“Cramping was an issue that both teams were dealing with, but it hit us incredibly hard,” Mitchell said. “We got to get our guys healthy, look at the tape and get ready for a Wayne State team that is playing their best brand of football right now.”

The Lakers will finish their regular season at home Saturday, Nov. 16, as they host the 7-3 Wayne State Warriors. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m., and the seniors will be honored before the game.

GVSU Soccer obliterates SVSU 10-0, Davenport 7-0 to cap regular season

BY ELI ONG EONG@LANTHORN.COM

The day was Sept. 15. It featured a warm, late summer Sunday afternoon in Mankato, Minnesota. The No. 2 Grand Valley State University women’s soccer team had just beat a nationally-ranked Bemidji State University squad the Friday beforehand and looked to repeat the task against another nationally ranked team in Minnesota State-Mankato two days later.

GVSU ended up falling short that Sunday afternoon in the land of ten thousand lakes, as they would go on to concede a goal in the 85th minute and lose 1-0 to the Mavericks.

Since then, the Lakers have played four non-conference games and their entire slate of nine conference games. Want to know what every single one of GVSU’s opponents failed to do since that fateful loss to Minnesota State? Score.

That’s not a typo.

The Lakers extended their shutout streak to 13 games after they demolished conference foes Saginaw Valley State and Davenport, 10-0 and 7-0 respectively last week. GVSU also set a new standard for defensive excellence in the GLIAC along the way, as the Lakers became the first team in the GLIAC’s 25-year history to not allow a single goal during conference play.

“Day-to-day, obviously defense comes first with us, you know, and you can’t lose if you’re playing good defense,” said junior forward Ava Cook. “It’s such a pride point for our team and it’s something we focus and work so hard on,

and I’m really proud to see us achieve something so great in that area.”

The No. 2 Grand Valley State Lakers clinched at least a share of the GLIAC regular season championship with a dominating 10-0 win over the Saginaw Valley State Cardinals Sunday, Nov. 3, at Bob Braddock Field. The Lakers, who moved to 15-1 on the season and 8-0 in GLIAC play at the time, won at least a share of the regular season title for their 15th straight season.

Redshirt freshman forward Chantel Carranza matched a career high with four goals and added an assist while senior midfielder Riko Sagara provided two goals and three assists to lead the Laker attack.

“Chantel’s such a great player in the sense that her creativity on and off the ball makes it so easy to just get caught up watching her do her stuff on the field,” Cook said. “She’s always in the right place at the right time and that puts her in a great position to finish the balls we send toward her.”

Carranza would start the second half just as quick as she did the first, scoring just 38 seconds into the period. Carranza would go on to score again in the 50th minute on a Sagara assist.

“I think the idea of being hungry and playing a bit relentlessly has helped us a lot,” Cook said. “We just feed off of each other and then we have these spurts where we score two, three, four goals in a few minutes and that has given us a lot of cushion in some of the games we’ve played,” Cook said the reason why they have

been so dominant on the offensive end of the ball is because of two reasons: denying opposing offenses opportunities and efficient finishing near goal.

“When we’re playing defense so well, our opponents don’t get to control the ball very much and then we’re able to get more opportunities on offense,” Cook said.

“Then when we get the ball in front of the

net, we pride ourselves on being clinical finishers, so if we get the ball in front of the net, we expect ourselves to finish it way more often than not.”

This weekend, the Grand Valley State Lakers took on the Parkside Rangers and the Purdue Northwest Pride in their last home matches of the regular season. After the matches, the Lakers have an overall record of 13-12 and a GLIAC record of 8-6, allowing them to hold their rank of 5th in the conference.

The match-up between the Lakers and the Rangers went into three sets and ended with a loss for GVSU. The first set began with Parkside securing a quick lead 12-5, later growing to a 2112 deficits for GVSU. The Lakers would cut down the lead as much as possible, but in the end the Rangers took the set 25-16.

The second set was a closer one than the first. Both teams would trade points and leads with each other, Parkside first at 1815 and GVSU then leading 22-20. It was the Rangers that would have the final lead and finish the set 25-23.

The Lakers took the lead early in the third set, 6-1, but the Rangers were able to answer

with a hot streak allowing them to take the lead 16-11. GVSU tried to battle back but in the end it was the Parkside Rangers that took the set 25-21 and finished the match.

“I think the word that would describe this match would be disappointing,” said GVSU coach Deanne Scanlon. “It’s hard when the girls have been playing such good volleyball recently for them to lose a match like this.”

Saturday’s match-up against the Purdue Northwest Pride was senior night for the Lakers, where seniors Kendall Yerkes and Frankie Cavallaro were honored for their commitment to the GVSU volleyball program.

“It meant so much to me to play in the senior night game with teammates who mean so much to me,” Yerkes said. “I’ve had so much fun being around them and playing with them and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls to finish my career with. It’s crazy to think that I’m nearing the end, but I know that even after I’m gone I’ll still have some strong friendships.”

The Lakers had a successful senior night match, one that went into three sets, leaving GVSU with a win at home.

GVSU had an explosive first set against Purdue Northwest. The Lakers led the Pride 6-0 and stretched the lead to 14-8 before they would hold the Pride to only nine points that entire set, finishing it 25-9.

The second set was closer than the first, but the Lakers still started with a lead of 12-7 and pushed it to 17-9. The Pride bounced back to start to close the gap 19-16, but the Lakers pulled ahead once more to finish the set 25-21.

GVSU would once more start thematch with a small lead, 18-15, against the Pride, who despite their best efforts would only score two more points in the third and last set. The Lakers finished off their senior night matchup with the third set being 25-17.

“Our serving was very aggressive in this match, offensively we were aggressive too,” Scanlon said. “We didn’t allow their offense to set up either, all around I think we played some good volleyball today.”

GVSU will take on their last regular season matchups on the road this week Friday, Nov. 15 against the Ashland Eagles and against the Wayne State Warriors Saturday, Nov. 16.

GVSU men’s basketball wins season opener by double digits

BY ZACK GOODROW ZGOODROW@LANTHORN.COM

The Grand Valley State University men’s basketball team improved to 1-0 this weekend, as they won their season opener, 69-56, against the Alderson Broaddus University Battlers (0-1). GVSU held the lead for the majority of the game by double digits. The Lakers were led by junior Jake Van Tubbergen in scoring with 21 points, and led both teams on the boards with 16 rebounds. “(The Battlers) had some bigger guys that we needed to box out or they were going to crash the glass and get extra possessions,” Van Tubbergen said. “That was one of the big things we emphasized going into the game: beating them on the glass. I took that upon myself while I was guarding the bigger guys.”

GVSU beat Alderson Broaddus playing strong defense, forcing 11 turnovers and limiting the Battlers to 32.8 percent on field goals from the floor. The Lakers’ impenetrable defense and ability to close out on shooters on the perimeter constrained the Battlers to making six of 19 shots behind the arc. In the paint, the Lakers defense contested shots and didn’t allow any easy baskets by the rim. “(Alderson Broaddus) shot a lot of threes, a unique style, which always catches you a lit-

tle bit off guard,” said GVSU coach Ric Wesley. “They only had nine points inside the paint and our defense was pretty good. We protected the basket pretty well.”

On the offensive side of the ball, however, the Lakers weren’t as sharp. In the first half of the contest, the Lakers played very fast, which led to some turnovers and bad shot selection That changed in the second half, as GVSU

slowed the offensive tempo and played more efficiently, leading to more assists and more open shots. Senior guard Jeremiah Ferguson was the biggest factor in slowing the tempo in the second half, finishing the game with 13 points and four assists.

The No. 3 Grand Valley State University women’s basketball team cruised to a season opening win over University of Missouri-St. Louis on Friday, Nov. 8, 7844. The Lakers’ balanced offensive attack saw 12 different players notch a field goal while shooting 50.8 percent (30-59) from the field and 81.3 percent (13-16) from the charity stripe.

With the win, GVSU remains undefeated in season openers under head coach Mike Williams, having gone 5-0 in game one since Williams was brought on board as head coach.

“I think most importantly it kind of helps reassure that you’re preparing the right way,” Williams said. “We always want to get better as the year goes on but we also want to be ready once game 1 rolls around too.”

Senior center Cassidy Boensch led the Lakers with 17 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and three blocks, while senior point guard Jenn DeBoer and freshman forward Haley Swing contributed 12 and 10 points respectively. The Lakers’ bench outscored UMSL’s bench 36-24 and helped take control of the game in the second half. As a team,

GVSU out-rebounded the Tritons, 37-30, and outscored them in the paint, 44-20.

“I think it was a total team effort tonight,” Williams said. “Everyone did their part, whether it was a basket here or securing a rebound there. We have a really great group of girls who put in the work and it showed tonight.”

The Lakers trailed 2-0 in the first minute of the game, but never trailed the rest of the game after a Maddie Dailey three-pointer broke a 2-2 tie. After building a 14-8 lead, GVSU would go on a 9-0 run, capped off by back-toback layups by sophomore guard Emily Spitzley. The Lakers led 23-10 after the first quarter and entered the half up by 23 points.

Coming out of the half, GVSU continued to put their foot on the gas and led by as much as 34 points in the third quarter and increased their lead to 40 with 5:47 to go in the fourth quarter before the final buzzer sounded, giving the Lakers a 34-point victory.

“Before the game, we talked about three things: getting good looks, keeping them off of the free throw stripe and limiting second chance opportunities,” Williams said. “I think we took a lot of good shots and did a good job doing the latter two as well which allowed us to jump out to that

early lead and not really look back.”

The Lakers continued their dominance and won big on the road Saturday, Nov. 9 with a 9450 win over the Maryville Saints to improve to 2-0 to start the season.

Boensch scored 19 points on 9-11 shooting with three assists, seven blocks and three steals while Dailey scored 17 points on 7-11 shooting from the field.

“Cassidy is a confident player and she has put in a lot of work on her game,” Williams said.

“Her defense is excellent, but her next step has been expanding her game out onto the perimeter so that when teams focus on her she can find her teammates on cuts and pick plays.”

Senior guard Victoria Hedemark, sophomore guard Brooke McKinley and freshman forward Hailey Swing each scored nine points a piece.

Williams said he is pleased to see early contributions from the team’s freshmen class.

“I think they’re playing with a lot of confidence,” Williams said. “Whether it’s been Daisy, Courtney or Hailey, who has played really well early, they all put in time on their game outside of practice and its starting to show.”

GV Cross Country teams win first place at the NCAA Regional Championships

BY HOLLY BIHLMAN HBIHLMAN@LANTHORN.COM

This past weekend in Evansville, Indiana, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams took home the first place trophies for the Division 2 NCAA Regionals. However, all the excitement and pride that comes with such a fantastic race day is closely followed by the preparation for nationals on Saturday, Nov. 23 in Sacramento, California. The runners are feeling well prepared and ready to put their best foot forward in two weeks for another successful race.

On the men’s side this weekend, sophomore Tanner Chada took first place overall with a time of 23.55.7, followed by Dennis Mbuta in 7th place and a string of GV runners taking places 11th-16th.

GVSU is currently tied for 3rd overall in the nation with Adams State.

“Both men and women executed the race today very well,” said GVSU coach Jerry Baltes. “We had three goals today: number one is advance to the national championships by finishing in the top three. Number two is to run as controlled a race as possible and come out feeling halfway decent and healthy so we can get back to training. And number three is compete to win, so a good weekend for both squads.”

The women did just as well this weekend, with senior Allie Ludge finishing in first place overall with a time of 21.23.6, followed by Hannah Groeber, Klaudia

O’Malley and Madison Goen in places 2nd-5th. Lots of the girls ran together in groups, making the race so successful. The women’s cross country team is ranked 2nd in the nation, right behind Adams State.

Looking towards the upcoming National Championships in California in two weeks, the runners are approaching this race as they would any other and avoiding nerves or stress going up against the best of the best.

“We’re just trying to keep it about taking care of our business and not worrying about the other teams,” Baltes said. “We are simply going to move forward business as usual, stay focused on us and prepare the best we can.”

As far as competition goes, the Colorado Mines are ranked No. 1 in the nation on the men’s side, so the runners will have to be ready to go, but Baltes said that anything can happen on the day of and it’s all about who is performing best. Last year, the men’s team took home their first national championship win, so this year could be a possible consecutive win for them.

The women have won six national championship titles since 2010, including last year’s competition. Adams State will be their top concern going into the race this year, but they have proven in the past to be a top competitor themselves. The pressure is certainly on for the runners, but their confidence is high and they are feeling ready and excited to be partaking in nationals again this year.

These next two weeks, the teams will be focusing on three goals for nationals as they get closer based on how they are feeling, but their number one goal is to compete to the best of their ability and give it everything they’ve got. Everyone

is excited to be heading out to California on the Wednesday before the weekend of, but they are focused on keeping their spirits grounded and not letting the pomp and circumstance of it all get in the way of their mission.

Senior guard Ben Lubitz gets admitted into nursing school, leads GV basketball by example

BY KELLEN VOSS SPORTS@LANTHORN.COM

It seemed liked the end of a normal Monday practice for guard Ben Lubitz and the Grand Valley State basketball team, as the senior thought nothing of it when in the post-practice speech, head coach Ric Wesley started asking the guys what they want to be when they grow up.

When Wesley reached Lubitz in the line of players and Lubitz said he wanted to be a registered nurse, Wesley was able to break the news that Lubitz had been waiting to hear since he stepped foot onto GVSU’s campus.

When Lubitz found out he had got accepted into nursing school, his face lit up with joy as he was embraced by his teammates and started sprinting around the gym out of sheer excitement.

“It was the perfect moment,” Lubitz said. “When he first told me, I was a little shocked. I didn’t believe it necessarily, but then it really hit me, and it was disbelief and true joy since it’s been something I’ve been dreaming about for so long.”

Anyone who watched the viral video of Lubitz celebrating with his teammates can see how much this team loves each other, as Lubitz couldn’t be happier to share this life-changing moment with his brothers.

“There’s no better way to celebrate that,” Lubitz said. “To celebrate with the people I love and the people I’m with everyday,

and to see how happy they were for me.

They know how much work I’ve put into this, and them being able to see all my hard work pay off is truly magical.”

Wesley was ecstatic to break the news to Lubitz, who at one point considered quitting the basketball team to focus on getting into the competitive GVSU medical school.

“We’ve talked many times about his desire to get into the nursing program, that’s why he

came here in the first place,” Wesley said. “Ben is a super valuable member of our team, has been a hard worker, team leader, I’ve always been pulling for him. It was nice to share that moment with him.”

Starting in 14 games last season, Lubitz averaged 4.5 points per game. He is GVSU’s version of a “3-and-D” guy, providing excellent effort on the defensive end while shooting 43.8 per-

cent from three and 84.6 percent from the free throw line last season.

Always seeing himself as a not-so-vocal leader, Lubitz has opened up this season and feels as if he is more comfortable to let his true personality show with the 2019-20 team.

“I’ve always seen myself as a guy who leads by example,” Lubitz said. “I feel a lot more comfortable in my skin this year, and so being more of a vocal leader has become my focus this year, and hopefully I can just be a good influence on the young guys.”

Maturity and leading by example has never been a problem for Lubitz, as Wesley said he is wiser beyond his years.

“Ben was 18 going on 35 when he got here,” Wesley said. “He’s been a pretty mature kid from day one. His personality has come out more and more, but he has always been a leader when it comes to work ethic.”

Hopefully that strong work ethic is contagious with this basketball team, as they welcome 11 new faces (six freshmen and five transfers) to this year’s squad. Even with all the new personalities on the team, Lubitz loves the chemistry the team is forming and feels that back-to-back GLIAC championships is a real possibility.

“That’s the plan, absolutely,” Lubitz said, regarding winning the GLIAC tournament again.

“We got a lot of guys that get along well together. It’s not just about how things go on the court, but it’s also about in the locker room. We all get along well, and I think what we do off the court really translates into what we do on the court.”
