Twenty Concordia students participated in the competition. Jill Strickler made a very impressive showing by taking third place out of 34 competitors in prose interpretation. That performance qualifies Ms. Strickler for the national tournament in April. The speech team continued their success at Monhatton, Kansas last weekend. Val Mortensen took fifth place in prose interpretation, competing against 45 others. Ms. Mortensen has also qualified for Nationals. Dan Malstrom missed aualifying by one point in oratory. Assistant coach John Burtis, who accompanied the team to both tournaments was "pleased by the initial success of the new speech program," noting for mo?' ^e squad it was their first college-level competition. The debate team traveled to Kansas City in1 late September for its opener. Jim Brey and Dave Hansen entered the varsity division while Rick Cushman and Keith Fuglie competed in J.V. Although neither team reached elimination rounds, both complied winning competition records and received honorable mentions.

But, as CarlLee so wonderfully pointed out in chapel on Wednesday morning—homecoming is much more. Homecoming is remembering the past, reflecting on the present and looking toward the future. Remembering is a very special part of the whole festivity. It's re- membering people who have added to our growing process, enabled us to learn more about ourselves and in turn the world around us. Concordia has a lot of those kind of people—professors who chal- lenged us to grow, when we didn't quite think we were qualified for the task, roomates who listened during major crises in our lives and who were their to laugh and talk with and countless others who have through the years exemplified the "caring community." For these memories and others we celebrate homecoming. Homecoming is a time to reflect on where we are, to be thankful to those who have dedicated their time and talents enabling this college By ANNE KEIR to be where it is today. It's a chance to assess our development—to see how we've grown and to feel good about that.

  • Karla Bonoff Still Loves the Stage by Jon Matsumoto for the Mercury News 12/03/2009
    Karla Bonoff still loves the stage By Jon Matsumoto For the Mercury News 12/03/2009 In 1976, Karla Bonoff had three of her songs included on Linda Ronstadt's hit album "Hasten Down the Wind." Thirteen years later, Ronstadt sang three more of her tunes on another popular album called "Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind." One of those tracks, "All My Life," earned Rondstadt and her duet partner Aaron Neville a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Duo. Toss in a 1993 No. 1 country hit Wynonna Judd scored with her song "Tell Me Why" and the impression you might get is that Bonoff is first and foremost a songwriter. In actuality, the Los Angeles-bred artist feels she has always been as much a vocalist and performer as she is a tunesmith. "I don't separate them, because I've written songs and performed from the beginning," Bonoff says. "People know me as a songwriter because other people recorded my songs, but I can't really separate those things." This weekend, Bonoff will showcase her skills as a performer and singer in shows in Berkeley and Santa Crus. Sprinkled in with her catalog material will be some more recent songs that were featured on her 2007 concert CD, "Karla Bonoff Live." On stage, she will be backed by her longtime collaborator Kenny Edwards on bass, guitar, mandolin and vocals and guitarist Nina Gerber. Bonoff began performing at open mike nights at L.A.'s famed Troubadour club when she was just 16. After briefly attending UCLA in the late '60s, she was part of a short-lived band called Bryndle.
