When I make my weekly grocery list, I generally do a good job of noting specific items, how many to buy and typically what my spending limit should be for each. As a poor college student, I should win an award for my thriftiness. While others can come easy, one item will always remain daunting:…

Desk Workers Unite!
I want all of you out there to know about me, and this week I want to talk about being a desk worker in the happiest place on earth, Livedalen. I love my job as a desk worker and could not ask for anything more than being able to do homework while getting to talk…
Why Occupy Fargo Matters
You’ve seen them on the news: thousands of fed-up Americans gathering, first at Wall Street, and now all across the nation, united against corporate greed and corruption. A few weeks ago it was a mere hundred or so people, barely being covered in the news. Now the protests have taken place or are scheduled in…

In the homecoming edition of the 1945 Concordian, the editorial was not about homecoming festivities, or even about daily cobber life. Rather, on the heels of World War II, the opinion of the publication…
#ThankYouSteve
I guess you could call me an Apple enthusiast. I regularly update Twitter and Facebook from my iPhone, and I use my Macbook Pro to do schoolwork, manage my fantasy football teams and keep up to date on, well, the next series of Macbook Pros. My iPod is never far from reach either. I manage…
A Look Inside a Concordian’s Closet
I swear that the longer I go to school here the more ridiculous things I notice. For instance, clothes which I already notice fairly regularly, are becoming more and more apparent to me. And here at Concordia, I can say we are all some pretty sexy-looking kids. So, I cannot help but notice a few…
Standing Against ‘Interviz’
This Letter to the Editors was submitted by Emily Bosch and Mark Besonen, two Sophomores at Concordia College. I’m Emily, a Democrat, and I think Mark is an idiot… politically. I’m Mark, a Republican, and I think Emily is an idiot… politically. We spent our time during our Inquiry seminar shouting at each other and…
