At the beginning of the spring semester, Concordia students returned to campus to find their usual dining hall glasses missing. Where the thick glass cups that had been a staple at Anderson Commons used to tower, stacks of plastic cups sat instead.  This was not the first time students found their usual utensils swapped while…

Before I begin I want to point out that I have no affiliation with Dining Services, financial or political. (This is why I have not officially endorsed Susan’s bid for the U.S. presidency.)

Please Put the Tables Back

Posted on October 1, 2015October 2, 2015 by Austin Gerth

During my time as a Cobber, I have allowed most changes made to furniture arrangements and eating implements in Anderson Commons to pass me by with little comment.
