MOORHEAD - As many as 200 students decided to celebrate graduation at Concordia College by skinny dipping in a murky campus pond early today, authorities said.

A security officer tried to shoo the students out of the pond but they wouldn't cooperate, Concordia security chief Sherri Arnold said. Moorhead police were called after students pushed the security officer's golf cart into the pond.

Although no one was arrested, several people could face charges. Arnold said 10 people were identified because they left their clothes and wallets behind.

Sunday was graduation day at Concordia.

This is certainly the end of civilisation as we know it.

The Cobbers have gone krazy.

They pushed the golf cart into the pond!!

“10 people were identified because they left their clothes and wallets behind.”

I’d say they’ve lowered the bar significantly for qualification for graduation.

This, to me, is the strangest part of the story. Graduation day . . . on April 29??

BTW, the school in this story is the only "Concordia" that is not one of ours (LCMS). This is the ELCA Concordia.

I don’t blame them for not getting out of the pond if they had no clothes on!

BTW,let’s be clear about this. This is NOT Concordia U. in Mequon, WI. It’s still too cold here for skinny dipping in murky ponds.

"Although no one was arrested, several people could face charges. Arnold said 10 people were identified because they left their clothes and wallets behind."

Unfortunately for them, depending on what they are charged with, they could end up as convicted "Sex Offenders", and thus have to register with the police, notify their neighbors, have special driver's licenses and/or license plates, and be lumped into the same category as rapist and child molesters, all for skinny-dipping.

Here's hoping they call the students and say they have an item in the Lost-And-Found and leave it at that.

Just the kind of thing I would expect from a college in town called Moorhead.

Wouldn’t the water be awfully cold in that part of the country?

I would think it would be so cold that you couldn’t tell the boys from the girls even if they were nekkid.

It’s obvious the cops had absolutely nothing better to do. A bunch of graduating college kids go skinny-dipping — there’s a real threat to the commonweal.

If the security guard had been a bit smarter, he would have merely informed the skinnydippers that there had been a recent infestation of leeches in the pond.

The water is colder where this happened in Moorhead, MN.

Well I've heard lotsa things, but in this case, I think their menu has too much in the way of rich food and you'll notice there is no oatmeal for breakfast, then!

No wonder they get a little antsy!

I believe I’d be concerned about snapping turtles.

Old joke: Do you know the difference between a Baptist and a Lutheran? The Lutheran will speak to you in the package store.

Actually, he will just nod his head.
