This week the Grand Valley Lanthorn asked four community members: What are veil doing to cope with the rising gas Remember when regular unleaded gasoline cost about $1.50 per gallon? Many faculty and staff members may remember when it was much lower than that. But with gas averaging double that amount, people are looking for alternate means for transportation, and good for them. Gas is not only expensive — it pollutes. However, with the design of suburban and rural areas, using a motor vehicle is often unavoidable. Luckily for Grand Valley State University students, there are other options.

By Gina Holland Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush led the nation in a final tribute to William H. Rehnquist on Wednesday, remembering the 16th chief justice as the Supreme Court ’s steady presence and a man of lifetime integrity. The president told hundreds assembled at Rehnquist’s private funeral — family, former clerks, lawmakers and Cabinet members — that the justice was a kind soul who accomplished much in a life that included 33 years on the high court. “We remember the integrity and the sense of duty that he brought to every task before him,’’ Bush told the audience at historic St. Matthew’s Cathedral. Rehnquist was a steady, guiding presence on thecourt. Bush said. Despite battling thyroid cancer, Wife Rehnquist managed to attend Bush’s second inauguration in v'%r‘ January and administer the oath of office to the president — a gesture Bush recalled with appreciation.
