A few months ago, I watched a video that spoke about little mosquitoes biting us and how we cope with these bites. We might be able to endure these individual bites, but with time we have to do something because they not only become irritating, but painful.

In today’s society, you are either a liberal or a conservative. Either you believe 100 percent of the political ideologies of one party, or you believe 100 percent of the political ideologies of the other party, and that is pretty much it. Anywhere in between is not acceptable, according to the modern polarized political spectrum….

Here at Concordia, we straddle many differences. Minnesota or North Dakota? Arts or sports? Korn Krib or the Maize? Sandy’s Donuts or…no, wait. The lesson is, Cobbers get the best of both worlds. Another example, living green or staying on a student budget? Perhaps sustainable clothing or makeup comes at a premium, but there is…
It snowed last week, so I feel like this is probably a good time to write this. Not only did we get to see snow on the ground—if only momentarily —we also got to see the first Cobber hockey games of the year. Well, a few people did. The combined attendance for the women’s hockey…
For assistant athletic trainer Kathleen Vesta, athletes are more than just patients. In her five years training primarily baseball, basketball, and men’s and women’s soccer, Vesta has developed relationships with countless Cobber athletes. Though Vesta never attended Concordia as a student, she completed her graduate assistant work at Concordia while attending North Dakota State University….
