| Summary: | 6 the CONCORDIAN EDITORIAL January 26,1996 •V-- We must have failed somewhere. When filling out the seven gazillion housing/financial aid/dining service forms when applying to Concordia, we must have missed the one that asked: "Do you real-ly know what absolute zero feels like (check 'yes' or *no')?" And also, the question that asked," Do you like the color white?" |f When looking in that nifty college promotional picture-book, we also failed to see any pictures of students trying to find their cars after local streets had been plowed or what Cobbers look like when they are stir-crazy. ®0 Well, since you are stuck in this frozen tundra, Iwhether by will or because the last time you tried to find your car, you found the lost city of Atlantis instead, we would like to provide you with a help-ful checklist. The purpose is for you to successfully identify when you are in the middle of winter, instead of in the middle of a nervous breakdown. This is provided as a public service, of course: L^You know you are in the middle of winter 'r^O The Cowboys are in the Super Bowl, again. ^vQ You're excited for Principia.

I have been a Cobber Club employee for two years now, and I would first like to thank Ms. Hauschild for speaking out after her experience with the rude desk worker. It only serves to raise the awareness of all employees and to aid in increasing the user friendliness and accessibility of the Cobber Club. The Cobber Club is there for the Concordia community to use and enjoy, so I take Ms. HauschikTs complaint seriously and apologize to her and to any other person who has been on the receiv-ing end of rudeness from a Cobber Club employee. The majority of employees make every effort to greet people in a friendly manner and to maintain a cordial relation-ship with customers, by making them aware of policies in a friendly tone. I hope that in the future this friendly relationship can be main-tained and that people will continue to feel welcome at the Cobber Club, as we greatly appreciate all cus-tomers who use the Cobber Club. Sincerely, Selmer J. Moen Class of 1997 Parking problems on campus addressed Dear Editor, We would like to address a few issues in dealing with the parking situation on campus. First of all, we do appreciate that the parking stick-ers at Concordia are free. We also realize having a car at college is a choice we make. However, we find it frustrating that there are more parking stickers than there are spaces. Perhaps a seniority system should be set up to alleviate some of this. There have been several nights where either my roommates or myself had to park quite a distance away from the lots (coming home from work, etc.). Personal safety is jeopardized in this case which makes all of us leery of walking 3+ blocks back to our dorm in the dark. Or maybe instead of a seniority sys-tem, a universal ticket could be issued to park in any available lot And what about the faculty parking in the student lots? That is very aggravating, too. As students we arc paying top dollar for our education (by choice), but we get ticketed if we park in the faculty lots. Do the faculty in turn get ticketed for park-ing in student lots? How often are the lots patrolled for violators? Speaking of patrolling, what of the vandalism done to cars in the lots? One of our cars was seriously dam-aged this fall. We are not attacking security; we are simply asking some questions.
