Editorial

Guest editorialist: Karen Franzmeier

A positive editorial?! Amidst the many controversies and criticisms, occasionally one should acknowledge the gratifying aspects of a school. Take, for example, the teachers and administrators who were willing to sacrifice a weekend from their families and busy schedules to spend time with students discussing issues pertinent to Concordia's future. I'm speaking of the staff-student retreat held in Bemidji this past weekend. Staff and students, with diverse areas of knowledge and interest, were able to meet and share ideas on an equal level with mutual respect given to each side. In addition to the discussions, there was "play time" during the retreat. There is a sense of exhileration in seeing "our own" Loren Anderson in jeans and hearing Larry Falk's imitation of President Dovre! Things may never again be the same for those who witnessed these events. . A caring community is a possibility only if it is made up of caring people. And the retreat was certainly evidence of this at Concordia. Descry
