GVSU's student-run newspaper volume271ssue 16 Campus community observes MLK day with march, tree- By Janet Meana Staff Writer A silent march, commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., took place Monday at noon on the Allendale campus of Grand Valley State University. Freezing temperatures and bright sunlight accompanied the more than 100 students, faculty and staff that participated in the walk that was part of a week long celebration in honor of King. The 30-minute walk started on the library mall, looped around the east side of the Commons to Kleiner Commons and then proceeded along Campus Drive to the Cook- DeWitt Center. A tree planting ceremony was then held in front of the Center. LeLande Bond, a Grand Valley senior, read the inscriptions on the bronze plaque to the crowd, "In memory of a man with a plan" and "It was only a dream but it woke up the world." Part of King's "I Have a Dream" speech was then given Please see M LK, P- 2 Students and professors walk across campus in silence to pay tribute to Martin PHOTO BY ERIK HOLLADAY Downtown: Additional State rep to hold buildings planned to house open Seidman and graduate library office By Mel Cronenwett * hours State Representative News Editor Leon Stille will hold open office hours Jan. 25, from A committee of Grand Valley 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. at State University staff members proposed a master plan to the Allendale Township construct a business school, a Hall, 6676 Lake Michigan graduate library, an international Drive. trade center and a student Rep.
