Op-ed: Vikings win gives fans hope for long playoff run
I think it’s time that we finally call this year’s Vikings team what it is: good. In arguably the toughest test they have faced all season—we are going to disregard that 26-9 loss to the Steelers because that was B.K., before Keenum—the Vikings showed how dominant their defense can be as it held the high-powered…
The best things to do in Fargo-Moorhead this holiday season

Review: ‘Lady Bird’ soars, attracting critical acclaim
“Lady Bird,” a coming-of-age film about Christine ‘Lady Bird’ McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) and her journey through adolescence, re-tells the genre in a way that most do not; with a very fresh perspective. “Lady Bird” has a perfect 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is an incredible feat on its own, but even better, it…

Students, faculty discuss net neutrality
The Federal Communications Commission’s recent proposal to reverse the 2015 regulations aptly called net neutrality has many asking, what is net neutrality, anyway? “Net neutrality is a strange issue, because it’s a hard issue to grasp … It’s very abstract, and it can be difficult to see exactly how net neutrality will affect your everyday…
Take time to enjoy holiday activities
‘Tis the season for colds, enormous amounts of homework, and little to no sleep. It can sometimes be extremely difficult to get into the holiday spirit when finals are looming right around the corner and your friends are deathly ill after performing six Concordia Christmas Concerts, but the Fargo-Moorhead area has a lot of holiday-themed…
Students’ attitudes towards classes at Concordia devalue education
