The Grove City student chapter of the American Enterprise Institute, the AEI Executive Council, invited Murray to speak.

Murray has raised controversy on college campuses recently, when students and faculty have protested his speeches. At Middle-

bury College in March, students shouted down Murray, stopping him from speaking. Then, when Murray tried to leave, the students at-

tacked him, leaving Murray injured and his Middlebury faculty escort in the hospital. Caleb Verbois, professor of political science and faculty advisor for AEI Executive Council, said they got the idea to invite Murray from those protests. SPEAKERS 2

As Homecoming week came to a close and events with Grove City College alumni wrapped up, students returned to their studies and prepped for the midterm season. After alumni left campus, however, the college welcomed some newcomers. On Monday, the College received prospective students for Music Major Day, a time when high school students were able to interact with the Music Department and learn about the opportunities that music majors have available to them. Students witnessed the Grove City College music majors in action. With a Chapel Choir performance that visiting students could observe or participate in as well as a dress rehearsal for the Symphonic and Chamber Orchestra, families got a glimpse into how the department works. “I’m really glad that people are able to sit in on the orchestra,” PLAY ON 2
