Lakeside Dining Hall Receives Below Average Health Rating

By jbruno

Fresh off an 82 for Colonnades Dining Hall, Elon Dining is taking another blow this week. The newest dining hall on campus, Lakeside Dining Hall, earned a below average score from the Alamance County Health Department after it was inspected on September 25th. Lakeside Dining Hall, which according to the ratings includes the Winter Garden Cafe, was given a final score of 90. Officials from the Alamance County Health Department told ELN that the average score for Alamance County restaurants over the past five years is 97.4. According to the inspection record, several food items had expired and had to be thrown away. The soup well lacked a sneeze guard and the main floor drain in the dish room was backed up during the inspection, leaving standing waste water on floor. Two employees were written up for having long facial hair. Regional District Manager of Aramark, Jeff Gazda, told ELN on the phone Monday that Elon Dining is striving for a higher level of sanitation. According to Gazda, the university wants all dining facilities at a 95 or above.

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.

Pesky Colts are surprising the NFL yet again in 2013

By Max Garland

As usual, the NFL is off to a very confusing start. The Kansas City Chiefs, the worst team by record last year, are undefeated despite the woes of its offensive line, a supposed strength at the start of the season. The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking at a potential clean-house scenario in the offseason, the worst possible scenario for a club that prides itself on stability and constant championship contention. And the Indianapolis Colts, everyone’s favorite candidate for regression in 2013, just blew out the San Francisco 49ers, the defending NFC champions.
