Editorial: Dealing with media bias

Posted on September 25, 2013October 1, 2013 by The Concordian

Last week during layout, The Concordian staff discussed an argument between one of the editors and another student about the criticisms of modern day media. This brought up some of our own opinions on media we would like to share with our readers. Trust in the media is at a low in this country and…

Concordian Editorial Board – Sustainability Sympoisum: Just a hand-waving?

Posted on March 7, 2013March 7, 2013 by The Concordian

Last semester, the college issued a vision for sustainability, stating it “will embrace a concern for sustainability that is rooted in the responsibility to ensure the environmental, economic, and social health of the college and of our global community.” This year, students have petitioned to go disposable water bottle free and SGA campaigns have laid…

Editorial

Earlier this month, I received an email from a student that expressed strong resentment toward a Blundergrads comic published in the Nov. 16 edition of The Concordian. That comic featured a man in his bed scratching a notch in his bedpost with a knife. The woman next to him comments, “You’re not supposed to literally…

The final countdown

Posted on November 1, 2012November 1, 2012 by The Concordian

Next week’s election has been a long time coming, that’s for sure. For more than a year we’ve watched politicians parade past the grandstand of the American voting public. We’ve watched as potential Republican candidates were whittled down to Mitt Romney, as one by one Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Tim Pawlenty,…

Major changes

Posted on October 4, 2012October 4, 2012 by Patrick Ross

Welcome to October. By the time this prints if it hasn’t snowed yet the only reason is we’ve been lucky and the weather gods have spared us another week. Even if this is your first year at Concordia, there’s little advice left to tell you at this point. You’ve figured out where your classes are…

Mission accomplished?

Posted on September 20, 2012September 20, 2012 by The Concordian

With the passing of Carl Bailey, the man behind Concordia’s mission statement, we are reminded of the impact Concordia’s mission statement has had on the college. We’ve heard it: “The mission of Concordia College is to send into society thoughtful and informed men and women dedicated to the Christian life.” Yet how does it impact…

The free press, not a free pass

Posted on September 13, 2012September 13, 2012 by The Concordian

The past two weeks have played host to freshman orientation, two speeches by interfaith leader Eboo Patel and a two-day symposium on international genocide. A brief glimpse through the pages of this week’s Concordian reveals how seriously we as students and professors accept the charge of engaging the world around us. At the Concordian, we…

Editorial

Posted on April 27, 2012April 26, 2012 by Mary Beenken

Editor’s note: Technically, I’m supposed to steer clear of first person in these editorials because they are meant to represent the opinion of the Publication. But it’s almost the end of the year, and I’ve already broken that rule a few times, and it’s late, and I’m graduating in a week and a half, and…

BREWing Alone

Posted on April 20, 2012April 19, 2012 by Mary Beenken

At first I didn’t notice what was different in the campus organizations I was involved in. Like many small, creeping changes in campus climate, it began slowly: a three-week dip in the number of people who came to meetings, then a general lack of responses when questions were asked. My favorite organizations varied widely in…

Truly Open-Minded

Posted on April 13, 2012April 11, 2012 by Mary Beenken

One of the wonderful things about Concordia is the spirit of the liberal education that thrives here: the fostering of critical thinking, the value of broadening the mind, the entertaining of many different ideas and viewpoints. But sometimes it is easy for people who value all of these things to actually begin to look down…
