Men's chorus underway

Thirty Concordia men have organized them- selves into a men's chorus under the direction of Kenneth Hodgson, instructor of music at Con- cordia and director of Chapel Choir and Women's Chorus. The group came together in November and is composed chiefly of men who belong to no other choral group but enjoy singing. Their repertoire includes a wide variety of music—classical, religious, spiritual, popular and show tunes. The group has a loose structure— decisions involving singing engagements require the consensus of the group. John Toso has been elected president. The Men's Chorus has sung at Trinity Luth- eran Church and is planning several weekend tours for this March. This Monday, Jan. 17, they will sing for a C-400 Club meeting.

Editorial Retreat offers hope Last weekend a long-range planning conference was held at the language camp near Bemidji. Over forty administrators, fac- ulty members and students gathered together to help map out AMERICA Concordia's future. Although the fruits of this labor may not soon (or ever) be visible, in this writer's opinion, the conference was quite encouraging. To a surprising degree, the faculty and administration identi- LEW fied assumptions, defined problems, and sought relative and foresighted solutions to benefit future Concordia students. They were quite concerned about student rights, problems and needs and recognized the fact that only a "living*' college could ever hope to fulfill these needs. If the same open concern shown by the faculty and adminis- tration at this retreat continues into the future, I have little doubt thta Concordia will become the community it hopes to be. R.H.

Editorial Anathema! Anthem Who s apathetic: Editorial

I've heard it said so many times that Concordia students are apathetic, I almost began to believe it. The cry of apathy is shouted every time a speaker addresses an empty hall, a club dies an early death, or a basketball game fails to draw a crowd. Organizational King's birthday is new holiday failures are normally attributed to "apathy" rather than poor planning, unexciting programs, or irrelevancy.

After four years of learning and growing in an institution known for its Christian community, these men and women will be sent out in the world, expected to mirror the ideals and fulfill the expectations of Concordia.
