This past weekend I realized that it had been awhile since I had seen a movie, so I decided to hit up the theater. I was not sure what I was in for, but when I arrived and surveyed my choices, Act of Valor won out. I had heard some clamor about the flick and figured I could not go wrong with a motion...

“Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” premiered this weekend in the Viking Theatre, making people laugh and bringing tears to many people’s eyes.

Uncensored speakers appreciated

It’s frowned upon for The Grand Views to cover the Communication Department, as we have a natural bias. I’m going to throw that rule out the window just this once so I can applaud the department for bringing in three extremely talented, well-known speakers who brought a lot of spunk and left long-lasting...

Pill popping becomes poor study tool
Stephanie Ivankovich, Social Media Editor
February 17, 2012
All my life I’ve been taught from schools, ads and billboards that drugs are bad and not to do them. Even with all these warnings, drugs still smuggle their way into this lifetime, to a point where it seems to be an addiction in today’s society.
