Elon measures progress entering deep CAA

By Tommy Hamzik

With the uncharted waters of the Colonial Athletic Association approaching, a trip to play Coastal Carolina University served as a measuring stick for the Elon University football team and first-year head coach Rich Skrosky. After the game, it seems the main area of focus is an offense that’s failed to score touchdowns in two of four games, keeping what’s been a stout defense on the field too long. Elon (1-3) couldn’t capitalize on three turnovers and two missed field goals in a 31-3 loss to No.

‘Reckless’ showcases humor, dark themes

By Diana Stancy

Starting on Oct. 2, Elon University students will showcase the first performance of the play “Reckless” in the Black Box Theatre. Written in 1983 by Craig Lucas, “Reckless” is a dark comedy that follows main character Rachel, who learns her husband has hired someone to kill her.  What follows is a series of adventures where Rachel learns more about herself and the world.  Kirby Wahl, associate professor of performing arts and director of “Reckless” commented that this play is humorous, while allowing the audience to step away and think about the darker themes. “It has an absurdist inclination, but it’s not really that kind of play,” he said.  “There is meaning to be found in the play.” For Rachel, her experiences serve as a journey of self-discovery.
