Tomorrow morning, Sarah Kjorlien will bundle up to face the frigid temperatures in Moorhead and run three miles. Halfway around the world in the much warmer Czech Republic, her sister is also running three miles. Coincidence? Not so much. This routine has been going on for almost eight months. Two thousand one hundred eighty three…
Today, fellow students, I offer you a challenge. If you do not like the opinions you see on this page, write your own. The Concordian accepts submissions from all students, so take some time, think about what is important to you and submit a letter or column via the online form on The Concordian’s website….
Last week, Patrick Ross wrote about how confusing the parking system at Concordia. As a solution to the problem, he proposed that Parking Services start charging for parking and remove designations from student lots, so all students could park in all lots. I would argue that our parking system is actually quite good. Especially this…
This week, we look forward to finding out about our music filled weekend in news with Renee and Suzanne. Toni gives us more flood updates in weather. Katie and Yaw tell us about the Cobber hockey team’s hot streak and in A & E Leah and Fr…
For the five Lund brothers, it’s one of the few times a year when they can all get together and recall the good old days, eat a home-cooked meal with their retired parents—and see if they can still clear the pole vault bar. The occasion was the annual alumni track meet on Jan. 22. The…
The 2011 Mr. Concordia was crowned at the ceremony which also served as a show in the Centrum on Jan. 22. Contestants in this pageant were judged by answers to two interview questions, their performance of a unique talent and their exhibition of Cobber spirit. Sophomores Aubrey Stromberg and Ashley Leone were this year’s emcees…
As my friends and I were eating dinner and venting at DS after a particularly obnoxious jazz rehearsal, I noticed something that would have surprised me had I heard it before I came to college. We were complaining about Concordia’s free parking. Just so you understand, I am not a “parker” here at Concordia. I…
It’s very rare that I get to write an editorial addressed to one person. In fact, I never do it. This week, though, things happened that made it nigh irresponsible to not write such an editorial. I won’t go into details as to what this is about, but the person addressed in this editorial knows…
Hey, You. Log off your Facebook, cease the tweeting, and power down your texting machine for about five minutes; I’ve got something I want you to hear (or read…I guess). If you are somewhere between 0 and 27 years old, or thereabout, you just may be part of what I’ve dubbed “The Most Awkward Generation.”…
When blizzards and breaks hit Concordia at the same time, safety is the top concern. Twice this year large storms hit Fargo-Moorhead as students and some faculty prepared to take to the roads—while leaving for Thanksgiving and returning for spring semester. The decision to cancel classes is a multi-step process involving several people, and safety…
