This year’s annual International Student Organization Festival was held on Saturday, Feb. 11 in the Knutson Campus Center. Outside the Centrum, a World Expo was set up; booths from around the world displayed cultural pictures and trinkets. Students walked around in traditional clothing and smiled when asked to explain their culture to inquiring wanderers. The…
Three off-campus students experienced their worst nightmare when an intoxicated man wandered into their home early Feb. 9. Senior Rachel Brock woke up when the light in her bedroom turned on around 3:30 a.m. She turned over to find a man standing in her doorway. The light turned off. “Oh, I think I’m lost,” the…
This Letter to the Editors was submitted by Daniel Woodwick ’88, an alum of Concordia College. I suppose some could call me a “Concordia crusader.” They might be right.

While the amount of classes and extracurricular activities have increased, the number of hours in a day has not. Although our days may seem longer, in fact it’s just the amount of things that we try…
With three main stage acts to her name, senior Vanessa Liming finds her fourth and final stage show both exciting and challenging. Not only does she play Roxane, the female lead, she also plays multiple characters that are male. Starting on Valentine’s Day through Feb. 19, Concordia’s Theatre will be presenting an adaptation of “Cyrano”…
The Student Government Association elections are next week.
