Beyond Green Week
In Minnesota, this part of winter gets unpredictable. As the weather shifts daily from cold to warm to incomprehensibly frigid and back again, even the most staunch of cold-weather lovers begin to think of greener times. It was in this spirit that I realized how much I miss the farmers market on campus in the…
Is Computer Science Important?
I’m fortunate enough to have grown up geek when I did. I’ve never had to convince anybody that technology was the way of the future like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates often had to do. Still, every so often, there are signs of resistance from the tech-less generations that came before us. Usually it’s people…
The Perspective of a Prospective
Education is an essential part of college, but students also learn about themselves and society. For most students, going to college is their first time growing roots away from the comforts of family. Picking a college is one of the largest decisions young adults have to make, and prospective student Andrew Alness from Mound, Minn.,…
DS unveils 7 new meal plans
Dining Services will implement seven new meal plans for students starting in the fall of 2011. “We hadn’t changed the meal plans for fourteen years,” Sabrina Zimara, marketing supervisor in DS, said. “Before that, the only meal plan was 21 meals a week or nothing.” After hiring a consulting firm to look at the current…

After 15 years of being pushed aside, Concordia’s oldest society is being brought back to campus by sophomore Riah Roe. AES originally had the motto “Adelphoi En Sophia,” meaning “Brothers in Wisdom,” AES was formed in 1917 by Park Region Luther College, a…

On March 5, the Public Relations Club will be hosting the second annual fashion show to benefit the women and children of the Fargo YWCA. In addition to modeling clothing donated by local stores, as they did last year, student…
Students turn classroom into a restaurant
The scenery changes in Jones 364 every week. Last week, the room was a ski lodge on the great slopes of Moorhead. Hats and mittens hung by the doorway, and the smell of chili filled the room. This week it was a jungle. Next week it will be a 1950s diner. The nutrition department’s quantity…
Inquiry class inspires snow fortress
It’s a partly cloudy Thursday afternoon and another unbearably chilly day for Moorhead residents as the temperature drops to a steady 10 below. The several inches of snow that have fallen relentlessly since winter began makes stepping outside rather unpleasant to most people, especially for those who must wander around campus from building to building…
Don’t look back
The old saying goes, you’re supposed to have a short memory in athletics. That applies to mistakes as well as successes; the idea that one needs to accept the moment, whether good or bad, and look forward to the next one. The Concordia wrestling team embodies that sentiment this season. Coming off of an impressive…
