The fiber optic line that alerts the authorities if a fire alarm at Elon University goes off has been repaired, according to an E-alert sent out around 8:15 a.m. Nov. 19. According to Elon University Chief of Campus Safety Joe LeMire, the line had been cut in Greensboro on Nov. 18.

According to an email statement from LeMire sent to Elon News Network the system is now up and running.

Fiber lines can accidentally be cut for a few different reasons, LeMire said in a previous interview with Elon News Network, such as construction or severe weather.

This year it was, “Many Lights on One Night.” “This year the festival is bigger than ever, so the theme represents how all the small lights that each of us bring create one larger light on campus,” Hillary Zaken, the director of multifaith programming and engagement for the Truitt Center said.

Strong start not enough in Elon University men’s basketball loss to Furman University

The energy in Schar Center was palpable as the Phoenix built an early 18 point lead. However, the Phoenix couldn’t sustain momentum as Furman University surged in the second half to hand Elon a home defeat on Dec. 3. Head coach Billy Taylor said the Phoenix simply didn’t respond well when Furman started to take control. While there were encouraging moments during the game, Taylor stressed the importance of maintaining that level. “When they punched back, we didn’t respond the right way,” Taylor said. “We need more of those moments strung together over the course of 40 minutes.”
