By Emanuel Johnson GVL Editor in Chief

Those who have paid close attention to the inner workings of GrandValley State Universi­ ty Athletics may have heard that the university recently hired a new Associate Athletic Direc­ tor, Keri Becker. But what’s interesting is not who the university hired - it is the amount of money it saved in the process.

% V 41 w Behind the scenes of the Cook Carillon Clock Tower Professor chimes in on playing GV's largest instrument By Chelsea Lane GVL Staff Writer

The Cook Carillon Tower is a familiar part of life at Grand Valley State University, used at Convocation, Commencement, recitals, special events and, of course, to tell the time. While the time strikes are automated, carillon player and GVSU music pro­ fessor Julianne Vanden Wyngaard is responsible for filling the Allendale air with music the rest of the time. After working at GVSU for many years teaching piano, Van­ den Wyngaard began studying the carillon in 1997 at the urging of then-president Don Lubbers, who told the music department of his plans to construct the Cook Carillon Tower. “It seemed a natural (fit), probably because of its likeness to the piano,” Vanden Wyngaard said. . .1 can’t say that I was pushed into it, but I’m really glad the opportunity presenteditself and that I was smart enough to step into it.” She began her studies with a carillon professor at the Uni­ versity of Michigan and, over the course of foursummers in the Netherlands, she completed her diploma requirements for the GVL / Eric Coulter carillon in 2000.

He is also just a very engagingspeaker; his classes and lectures are very popular.” Sandel’s New York Times bestseller, “Justice,” looks the meaning of justice as well as a variety of different subjects like government bailouts and immigration reform. The book causes readers to reflect on what they think, and why. “We all say, ‘Well, that wasn’t fair’ - well, explain to me why that wasn’t fair or explain what we owe each other,” said Phyllis Vandenberg, a GVSU philosophy professor. “What do we owe each other to be citizens of the same country, or different countries — what do we owe each other and what is our reasoning behind that? The lecture will give people a much deeper view when people say something like ‘that’s not fair’ or what it means to be just, or do the right thing.” Sandei served cm the President’s Council on Bioethics. In his course “Ethics, Biotechnology, and the Future of Human Nature,” Sandei explores the connection between science and ethics. i “Part of Sandel’s theory is that if we don’t address these is- • ‘kies directly we won’t make any progress on them.” Uglietta < ir-m m-i GVL / Eric Coulter said. “It’s as if there are certain things we think we shouldn’t Artistic vision: Marlen Vavrikova (left) and Colleen Bazuin stand in the GVSU Art Gallery.
