Running just to catch myself: Life at Elon
Elon University students are busy people, there's no doubt about that. If you're someone who isn't heavily involved in at least one extra-curricular organization, if not more, then you are in the minority.

Elon University students are busy people, there's no doubt about that. If you're someone who isn't heavily involved in at least one extra-curricular organization, if not more, then you are in the minority.
In this post, several Elon students share their experiences in around 100 words. As you read, stop to think: Where was I on Sept. 11? How did I feel? You'll probably find your story isn't much different than these....

The next week at Elon will be fairly hectic. Tomorrow, it's a safe bet that at least the campus will empty out with people heading home or to friends' for Easter break. Not that it's much of a break. It's one day tacked on to a regular weekend, but then again, Fall Break is only two days tacked on to a weekend, so why not celebrate this, too?
A few weeks ago, one of our news editors Kassondra Cloos, wrote a column about a proposal before the Texas legislature to allow guns on college campuses.
There is something special about Elon all the time. Special good, special bad, call it what you want, but it's undeniable each day has something unique about it.
Wednesday means a fresh copy of The Pendulum is at newsstands all over campus and online at Issuu.com.
Don't forget to check out the Pendulum Resolution Project blog and read news editor Caitlin O'Donnell's latest post. Maybe it will inspire you to do something for others over your Spring Break!
In this week's Pendulum, we were fortunate enough to run our FOURTH (!!!) letter to the editor of the year. The first was a student praising an editorial, the second was a reader from off campus praising a reporter, last week's was a letter to the administration protesting a tenure decision and this week's was actually a cartoon about the same tenure issue.
Last week, I went into the McEwen School of Communications around 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday, to print something. The large flat screen TV inset in the wall in the foyer was on, flashing its usual images advertising workshops, speakers and the like. And in the main lobby, the other large flat screen TV was blasting CNN at its full volume and image level. I ask, who is standing in the McEwen lobby watching CNN at 7:30 on a Saturday morning.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that members of the Westboro Baptist Church have the right to protest at the funeral of vetrans.
But on Tuesday, tomorrow is even more exciting because it means Wednesday is coming, and with it, a fresh edition of The Pendulum!
At just after 8 a.m. this morning, a steady pounding began, rattling windows, distracting students and signaling to everyone that construction on the Elon Town Center has officially begun. This is a picture from just a few weeks ago:
Production night at The Pendulum is in full swing, and we're all chugging along, preparing the Feb. 23 edition of the paper.
In the last few weeks, The Pendulum and Elon's SGA have been at odds. But this is nothing new. Government and the press have been at odds for as long as the two have existed. And even we, in our little collegiate bubble, are not immune.
Here's a wrap-up of what you can expect when you open the latest issue of The Pendulum!
Last night was Super Bowl XLV. In the basement screening of the McEwen School of Communications, a group of nearly two dozen gathered to eat pizza, talk and watch the game on the big screen. This room coincidentally shares a wall with the temporary office of The Pendulum.
Hello all, My name is Rachel Southmayd and I will serve as the Opinions editor for The Pendulum through the 2011 year. I apologize that I was absent from the blogging world for the first month of this year; I was focused on starting our Resolution Project blog, a compilation of the efforts of five Pendulum staffers as they try to maintain their new year's resolutions. But I am back now, and as it is a Wednesday, I encourage all of you to pick up a copy of the latest edition of our fine paper. It's a quick 8-page read this week, but never fear, it will be back to our normal size next week. For those of you who are not on campus, you can read the latest Elon news at Issuu.com. In the edition, we have a staff ed about recent events involving Elon award recipients as well as a wonderful column by Caitlin O'Donnel, one of our news editors, about sustaining our giving spirit past the holiday rush. This ties in with Caitlin's resolution to help more in the greater Elon community. So if you haven't already, add this to your blogroll or the list of websites you frequent. I'll try to add a few posts each week, either about Elon or about the world in general, and feel free to comment. Conversations are what move us forward, both in history and society. Thanks for reading!
