The recent and rather unexpected deactivation of Campus Democrats is surprising to many, especially for a predominantly liberal ELCA college such as Concordia. A small survey by the website Niche determined that 67% of responding participants at Concordia aligned with Democratic affiliation whereas 10% of the surveyed students self-identified as Republicans. But as some may…
Senior music composition major Natalie Fideler is proving to be one of Concordia’s very own up-and-comers in the local music scene here in Fargo-Moorhead. Fideler is a singer-songwriter as well as a classical composer who is starting to get some exposure in the area. With years of experience under her belt, she will be releasing…
Knutson Campus Center is, as the name suggests, the center of student life at Concordia. Multicolored flags hang from the high ceiling, representing the nationalities present on campus, while tables line the large walkway. Most of the tables are for events or student organizations, but one stands out from the crowd. A plain brown table…

College is hard. Linden’s here to help. Sorry, that’s misleading. Let me be clear, Linden doesn’t know how to help, but he’s here to do it anyway. Look at you! You’re a student in college! You have just about everything to prove it: six hundred dollar textbooks; texts from your mother that show she…
In 1789, the founding fathers of the United States wrote what would become the pinnacle of this country, the Bill of Rights. One of the most important tenets still today, the first amendment of the Bill of Rights embodies true freedom. Our campus wishes to put in place a hate speech policy, and it goes…
New year, new mindset, same walls. Concordia as we all know and love, has the theme of old-timey religious architecture (that’s the technical term). The library is just one example.
