Op-Ed: Cobbers and entitlement
In the wake of the annual Cobber Ring Rollout, in which Concordia students celebrate spending money on jewelry, I have had several encounters where people told me they purchased their ring “for the career prospects.” This statement confused me, as most places I’ve worked at employ very few Cobbers in general. I don’t intend to…
Queen trades crown for winning header
Not many are fortunate enough to be crowned royalty for a week, but senior soccer player Sadie Hayes was. After being crowned homecoming queen at Coronation Sept. 28, Hayes hit the ground running.

Wish I was a Dragon: Distaste for the snowday handling

Acknowledging that not every day is going to be all roses and tulips, I think…

Season successes for basketball teams
The Concordia women’s basketball team ascended to the No. 1 spot in the MIAC after a five-game winning streak that left the rest of the conference in the dust.

Sweet Victory
Family Weekend brought crowds of Cobber moms, dads and siblings to Concordia’s campus last weekend.
