I suspect you are already tired of hearing about Syria. The future path is blurry – even to our president. Assad will still be in power. How many has he killed without chemical weapons? Who is using the chemical weapons? It sounds to me like the real problem is whoever is issuing the orders in…
I often get the question “Why is organic food so expensive?” We’ve all been to a supermarket or local co-op and purchased groceries. As college students we focus on cost, which usually tends to be whatever is lightest on the wallet and the necessity goods like care products, medicine, etc. In today’s competitive market, consumers…
I could begin this article like every valedictorian speech: a loud, ringing, smiley, “we did it” flying out of my face for all to hear. Instead, I feel like asking myself a question. What have I done with these years? As I enter my senior year with 700 other people I think about the ways…
Once Upon a Time, there was a boy who we’ll call… Scarf Boy. Scarf Boy was a freshman at Concordia College and was unsure about how safe of an environment it would be. His high school had some great people, good resources, and a pretty loving atmosphere, but he didn’t feel like he could fully…
In our time at Concordia, a divide among Christian students across campus has always been present. Different Christian groups, such as The Remedy, Cru (the campus ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ), and Campus Ministry Commission, are all well-established on our campus and populated by students looking for worship experiences, service opportunities, Bible studies and…
The end of the year is here. I have a lot of weird apprehensions I think. My year has been filled with weird realizations, moments and a list of things I am just 500 percent done with right now. I will be ending my junior year, and it has gone faster than any year here…
SGA recently purchased 14 iPads with the remainder of their 2012-2013 budget. But why, I ask, do the members of SGA need iPads? In the recent article in The Concordian, their reasoning was explained as “an effort to go green.” With the use of iPads, there wouldn’t be a need to use as much paper…
SGA has put sustainability as one of the issues at the forefront of its platform for the upcoming year by stressing sustainability during elections and with the creation of a new position on their team, the Sustainability Commissioner. SGA’s focus on sustainability for our campus is great, but was the decision to purchase iPads truly…
I wanted to write a response to Katelyn’s article “The all-nighter” from last week. I, too, in my infinite wisdom as a senior, decided that getting a German minor my freshman and sophomore years was a good idea despite the fact that I haven’t used the language since. As a result, the second semester of…
I am approaching my impending graduation with the sort of aloofness that is probably more appropriate for an impending visit to the DMV. Because I am slated to begin law school this fall, my mind is already wrapped up in basic practical issues related to this important transition in my life and also in figuring…
