I am writing in response to Emma Garton’s opinion piece from March 16 titled “All ensembles are not created equal.” I found myself at odds with her writing at several points, and am thus responding to those points on which I believe she has overstepped with her comments. My vantageContinue Reading
The Constitution of the United States is very clear about which powers are vested in our federal government. These powers are called delegated powers, and are explicitly enumerated to avoid any confusion as to what the federal government can and cannot regulate. The powers that each individual state has areContinue Reading
As a mental health professional and more specifically a counselor at Concordia, I feel that it is important to respond to the opinion piece, “On-Campus Sexual Offenses are Underreported and Undertreated” (March 23, 2017). It appears that the article is seeking to bring attention to several very important issues affectingContinue Reading
Creating an atmosphere of inclusion is hard when it comes to political ideologies on college campuses. Concordia College is characteristically liberal, like most other post-secondary institutions in the United States.

More and more I’m reminded about just how entitled members of this student body are, and how little they own up to that fact. Many, and not all, but many, Cobbers choose interesting hills to die on. I’m so tired of hearing people complain about how expensive Concordia is. EveryContinue Reading

While I agree with many of the points presented, the central argument was a bit problematic. I completely agree that it’s hypocritical to say one is pro-life and not care for poor, starvingContinue Reading

Several years ago, a former player of mine came to visit me at myContinue Reading
In October of 2015, Alex Gray submitted an article to this publication that claimed, “All students would BREW bet- ter if they just stayed home.” I was a sophomore at the time, and I remember the flurry of discussion it caused. My Ger- man 111 course discussed the article. IContinue Reading
The events of this year have me frustrated. I am a millennial, but before you tell me to suck it up and do something about it instead of whining, hear me out. In the past two years I have not only moved to college and tried to figure out whatContinue Reading
