The Minnesota State University of Moorhead planetarium offers an open house which started on Nov. 6 and ends on Nov. 20. Located in Bridges Hall, this free show offers an explanation of the earth and our galaxy…
Month: November 2011
Inauguration announced
President William Craft’s inauguration has been scheduled for Saturday, April 28, 2012, as part of the Concordia’s Founders Day celebration one week before graduation. “Inaugurations are a milestone for a college,” said Tracey Moorhead, senior assistant to the president. “It’s a two-way thing – how we greet that leader and pledge our support and how…
Obama rises as GOP blushes
With a dissatisfied party base and plenty of fired-up Republican opposition, a few months ago, it looked as if anyone could beat President Barack Obama. Democrats lamented repeated concessions that contradicted core campaign promises, like the failure of the public option and the continuation of Bush’s tax rates on the rich. Meanwhile, Republicans continued to…
The weight of words, the weight of history
Probably just by reading the title of this editorial, most people will already be able to guess what it will be about (“Oh, not another lecture about the importance of using our words carefully!”)—which is, in itself, a testament to the power that language has over people. We can dream, build, and destroy profoundly with…
Perry’s mistake
No doubt you’ve all seen it by now. Rick Perry’s debate gaffe was comedic gold: a state governor hemming and hawing his way through a bullet point that was obviously supposed to be a campaign touchstone but became a punch-line.

No Movember blues
The month of November holds many things for many people. It can be the 11th month of the year, Guy Fawkes’ month, Dia de los Muertos, Alzheimer’s disease month, COPD awareness month, and for some it is the month that facial hygiene is neglected entirely. I am sure most of you understand what I am…

The “R-word”
This Letter to the Editor was submitted by Victoria Richmond, a Sophomore at Concordia College. I heard the word “retard” again the other day. I’ve heard it lots of places: the library, Knutson, waiting in line at the grocery store, all over. And every time, I just can’t stand it. In that short…
Facilización
This Letter to the Editor was submitted by Joshua Hermerding, a senior at Concordia College. A small commentary now that registration anxiety has come and gone. I nonchalantly navigated various social networking websites these last two weeks and was privy to scores of Concordia students chattering about schedule preparation. However, one detail in particular captures…
