On Saturday, March 30th, an estimated 3,000 people from all walks of life gathered in Memorial Auditorium at Concordia College for the 30th annual Woodlands and High Plains Powwow (WHPP), hosted by the Tri-College University. The Tri-College University campuses, consisting of Concordia, MSUM, NDSU, M State and NDSU, collaborate with one another to plan WHPP….
Conservatives deserve a voice on campus
Diversity is one of the core ideals that Concordia has strived for in recent years. Equity for all people and ideals is important to create well balanced individuals to send out in to the world. With campaigns to boost minority diversity on campus, the college takes the idea of a diverse student body quite seriously….
Concordia’s inaccessibility needs to be addressed
Our campus is covered in snow and pretty soon is going to be flooded. The sidewalks are covered, doorways are blocked and it’s generally just harder to get around. I know I’ve done my fair share of complaining about the snow and what feels like my limited ability to get around. However, a slippery parking…
Let’s hear it for Big MacDemarco
In Mac Demarco’s last album, This Old Dog, he delivered a moody blue wave collection of songs that brought easy listening to the next level. Most tracks off of the album still sound dark and basement-made – a sort of brand that Demarco has mastered and garnered attention and large fan-base with. But, between the…
Should dining services play Michael Jackson songs?
It was like any given Wednesday afternoon in Anderson Commons. I was tossing french fries back and scrolling through Twitter when I should have been working on my religion paper. It’s 2:40 and DS is mostly empty — the tables occupied few and far between. The dreamily generic mid-80’s pop ballad that was ringing out…

Student Government Association launches initiative for contraceptives to be available on campus
In 2017, over 2 million cases of sexually transmitted diseases were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Concordia’s Student Government Association is doing their part to combat rises in STD cases through an initiative to sell contraceptives on campus. Katelyn Jensen, SGA sophomore class representative, is currently working on this initiative, which…
Concordia doesn’t do enough for non-binary students
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten grumpier. I know I may be playing into the societal norm of a crabby old grandma, but it’s true. Heck, I’m still under 20 years old, and I find myself criticizing everything around me. So, I figured, why not specialize my criticisms? After all, I am currently enrolled in…
Campus residence life struggles for a reason
This article is a bit of a different approach from what I usually write about. Normally, I write about a policy or political action that I have strong feelings about, and dissect it. In this article, I will be writing about an office on campus, the current issues this office is having, and potential remedies…
