“Ugh, my class is being taught by an adjunct from MSUM,” “Damn, I have so much homework. Life of a Cobber!” and just straight up, “MSUM and NDSU kids are stupid,” are all actual quotes that I’ve heard Concordia students say on multiple occasions. Apparently, highly educated professors from state schools can’t possibly educate as…
Pre-season is a time for teams to gather and prepare for their upcoming season as a team. For the spring softball pre-season it is more than just a couple workouts a week, it is a program rebuilt with a whole new coaching staff. Former Shanley High School head coach Chad Slyter was named the new…

Concordia deals and discounts encourage school spirit The line at the Coffee Stop is long, even for 9 a.m. on a Friday. A cluster of Cobbers, many of them dressed in maroon and gold, stand chatting and staring at cell phones as they wait for their morning caffeine boost. At the front of the line…

“Does rape even happen at Concordia?” This question has come up in more than one conversation throughout my three years on campus. So many of us seem to be under the impression that rape is only rampant on large university campuses. We assume that it would never happen here. We’re living in the Concordia bubble, after…
Be assured, Cobbers can leave their dresses and neckties in their dorms on Friday of homecoming weekend. In place of Concordia’s longstanding, traditional Harvest Ball, Campus Entertainment Committee and Homecoming Committee have teamed up to host a game night called “Bunco@ Conco.” Though the Harvest ball has been held for decades, Homecoming Chair Hayley Johnson…
Students walk to hunched over with backpacks and dreams too big to shoulder. Bicyclists whisk by, then someone on a longboard. At Knutson, the cyclists lock up their bikes. The longboarder shelves the board in a rack and does the same. Last year, current senior Samuel Olson headed the Student Government Association’s Student Services Committee…
The clichéd proverb “waste not, want not” nearly parallels one of the fundamental ideas of natural capitalism, which is to ensure that no capital, whether it is natural, human, or financial goes to waste.
