Sit Down or Get Out: Group of Elon Students Removed from Oct.19 Football Game

By jbiegel

Many Elon students were removed from Rhodes Stadium Saturday, Oct. 19, for standing and cheering in the students section during the football game against Chattanooga. According to Elon Athletics, a fan from the general admission section, adjacent to the student section, complained to a volunteer security officer that they could not see due to standing students. Junior Michael Lindsey was one of the students cheering in the student section. "The people in the yellow jackets came down to us at one point and they were telling us we needed to sit down or we were going to get kicked out of the game," he said. Lindsey and his friends ignored the officer and continued to cheer. Thirty minutes later, the officer returned to the student section and informed Lindsey and the other students that their day at the stadium was over. Junior Casey Brown was sitting in the student section a few seats away from Lindsey and was not pleased with how the situation was handled.

Optimism still surrounds Elon football's final SoCon slate

By Tommy Hamzik

With a 1-4 record entering a lame duck season of play in the Southern Conference, one would not think that the Elon University football team would have much motivation for the final seven games. But this squad is unique. Head coach Jason Swepson’s team will play solely SoCon games for the rest of the season, the Phoenix’s last season in the league before moving to the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) in 2014.

Hallo! Bonjour! Hola! Ciao! According to the American Councils for International Education, 10.6 million students from grades K-12 are enrolled in a foreign language.

According to the Modern Language Association 2023 Census, there was a 16.6% decrease in enrollment in foreign language classes by college students from 2016 to 2021. This is the largest decline since the association started its census in 1958 with language enrollment peaking in 2009.
