and AC As Grand Valley State University’s Alcohol JO** Campus Education Services program holds #1 Lt*C T*i a seminar to reveal the truths about alcohol, t they need to check the facts behind what IA****:, they are advertising to students. o-v-s***' IfcT'S 00/ The signs from ACES (formerly the ALERT labs) can be seen throughout campus — in residence halls, community centers and on the Rapid buses. One of the common signs asks, “Is alcohol sabotaging your diet?” It proceeds to list the calories in several drinks against common junk GVL / Elliot Slenk foods. One that seems suspicious to us states that a long island iced tea is more than 1,000 calories and about equivalent to a medium pizza with ham. We checked the calories in a long island iced tea, and although liquors used and recipes do differ slightly, we could not find a single one with more than 507 calories. Most were between 200 to 300 What is a common misconception about calories. Another fact that is often included on the posters is that 75 percent of GVSU students drink moderately or not at all, which they specify is alcohol in college? zero to three drinks per occasion. However, this fact is misleading as well. The standard thought is one 12-ounce beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of liquor equals one drink. However, alcohol affects everyone differently. A 250-pound man drinking three beers over the course of a night will probably not even feel it. The average beer is only between 3 and 8 percent alcohol. But a 110-pound woman who takes three shots of vodka at an average of 40 percent alcohol could quickly get drunk. Students may also be underestimating what they drink. Few measure out one shot of alcohol when making a mixed drink, and instead just pour until it tastes right. Students could be pouring two or even three "That everyone drinks." "That it's sort of what "There are no "It has more calories "That everyone drinks shots into each glass, but then think they have only had one drink. you do in college. It misconceptions about than a pizza." and that there's a party ACES statistics also do not take into account how often students becomes a replacement alcohol. We already every single day." drink. One student may have five or six drinks, but only drinks once or for other things." know all there is to twice a month. Another student may have two drinks per occasion, but know about it." drinks four or five nights a week-. Based on ACES’ thinking, the student Lauren VanDyken Caleb Hazen Elliot Michel Kristen Pearson Rebecca Nsien who only has two drinks per occasion but drinks most nights of the Sophomore Junior Junior Senior Senior week is considered “moderate” over the student who drinks more per Health Professions Art & Design Physics and Secondary Communications Health Sciences occasion, but much less often, and much less overall. Grand Rapids, Ml Vassar, Ml Education Grand Rapids, Ml Grand Blanc, Ml ACES is a good program. Students need to be educated because Hartland, Ml college is often when problem drinking develops. However, ACES seems to be presenting information that is not completely accurate, GVL STUDENT OPINION which damages the integrity of their program. We want ACES to continue to educate, but they need to be more complete in their information and survey a wider variety of students Life is no longer a private matter to get more accurate results.

'Aguirre, the Sia breaks from the pack Wrath of God' in third solo effort album By Ryan Copping GVI. Staff Writer f ! ,i -d • '/ ovow (jo “Aguirre, the Wrath of God" is a state of mind as well as a movie. This is a film that shosvs the very limits of what it means to he human. Few movies attempt to be this ambitious, even fewer succeed. It is the greatest of the many films by the prolific German director Werner Herzog, who is famous for the superhuman lengths he goes through to complete his films. For "Aguirre,” Herzog traveled with a small cast and group to the rain forests of Peru to By Lindsay Patton capture a tale of exploration and madness in the most WCKS Reviewer literal way possible. What is seen in the film is that Herzog simply photographed it, aided immensely Artist: Sia by his cinematographer, Thomas Mauch.

It’s sweet actor to work with that he considered murdering (Cecilia Rivera), Ursua’s holds a witty and exciting group of and sultry, flows throughout him.
