The Centrum came alive Sept. 30 with big band music blaring and students showing off their swing dancing moves. The event started at 8 p.m. with lessons and lasted late into the evening as students danced, some in rhythm with flawless moves and others stepping on toes but still enjoying learning the art of swing…

A Look Back, A Look Forward…
Sometimes it’s amazing how looking back at an old newspaper can change the way we read a new one. In the homecoming edition of the 1945 Concordian, the editorial was not about homecoming festivities, or even about daily cobber life. Rather, on the heels of World War II, the opinion of the publication…
#ThankYouSteve
I guess you could call me an Apple enthusiast. I regularly update Twitter and Facebook from my iPhone, and I use my Macbook Pro to do schoolwork, manage my fantasy football teams and keep up to date on, well, the next series of Macbook Pros. My iPod is never far from reach either. I manage…
A Look Inside a Concordian’s Closet
I swear that the longer I go to school here the more ridiculous things I notice. For instance, clothes which I already notice fairly regularly, are becoming more and more apparent to me. And here at Concordia, I can say we are all some pretty sexy-looking kids. So, I cannot help but notice a few…
Standing Against ‘Interviz’
This Letter to the Editors was submitted by Emily Bosch and Mark Besonen, two Sophomores at Concordia College. I’m Emily, a Democrat, and I think Mark is an idiot… politically. I’m Mark, a Republican, and I think Emily is an idiot… politically. We spent our time during our Inquiry seminar shouting at each other and…
‘Bridesmaids’ Offers Life Lessons
I have a confession to make. I may or may not be a huge fan of the recent chick-flick, “Bridesmaids.” There, I said it. I also may or may not have seen it three times in the theater (forking over $10 each time) and then memorized the exact day it came out on DVD. It…
Coming to Terms with Twitter
About a year ago, I wrote an article on Twitter. More specifically, how much I hated the service. A year later, I’ve changed my mind. I’ll tell people that I started my Twitter account for the newspaper, but this is a half-truth at best. I was interested in Twitter’s real function, something that I couldn’t…
Viewpoints
This week the Concordian is introducing “Viewpoints,” a new feature where writers voice their collective opinions on a wide array of topics. Let us hear your voice, or submit an idea via @CCLendMeYourEar on Twitter or at the Concordia College Lend Me Your Ear Facebook page! This week’s head to head: check your grammar, this…
October 12, 2011
This week in On-Air, we get our flu shots with Maddie and Heather. Emily tells us what kind of weather to expect for our homecoming weekend. Hannah and Yaw tell us how we are winning. And Minnesota is going royal in A & E with Fredrik and Mariah.
Homecoming King and Queen crowned
The entire 2011 Homecoming Court wore smiles as seniors Elise Tweten and Skyler Vilt were crowned Homecoming King and Queen Tuesday night. Coronation, an event that has been a part of the Concordia Homecoming tradition since 1926, was the first event of this year’s Homecoming week. “This is a great tradition in which students’ lives…
