Dubstep DJ TMare looks forward to collaboration with Limelight Records

By Casey Brown

In May, if you told Tyler Marenyi, the electro-house and dupstep producer also known as TMare, that he would be performing at College Street Tap House as an artist for Elon’s recording label, Limelight Records, he would probably be skeptical. The senior finance and accounting major liked music, but never thought it was something he could actually do after college to make an income.

Empty offensive first half dooms Phoenix as Samford rolls 26-15

By Zachary Horner

No points on the board in the first three quarters of a football game helps no one. Giving up a lot of running yards doesn’t help either. The Elon University football team dropped its third game in a row and sixth in its last seven, as Samford University defeated the Phoenix 26-15 in Southern Conference action Saturday at Rhodes Stadium. Samford junior running back Fabian Truss was a workhouse, notching 34 carries for 219 yards and two touchdowns as the Bulldogs had 290 total rushing yards on the day. Elon head coach Jason Swepson said Samford’s bullish offensive and defensive lines prevented the Phoenix from getting much going. “We played a very big, physical football team that we just didn’t match up well with,” he said.

Maureen Dowd argues U.S. presidents reflect paternal influence

By Melissa Kansky

One day after the presidential election, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd offered a psychoanalysis of the nation's leaders, relating the political arena to a theatrical display of family drama. Dowd, Elon University's Baird Pulitzer Prize lecturer, turned attention away from the most recent political contest and instead emphasized how father-son relationships influence the behaviors of United States presidents. "Presidential campaigns have an underlying paternal theme," Dowd said, referencing promises to protect the house against international invaders or a menacing financial situation. The candidates continually compete to portray themselves as America's father, king or hero, according to the Pulitzer Prize winner. The constructed narrative presents a nobleman's quest, a revered victory and a shared celebration with their constituents, she said.

‘Hemos olvidado la conversación’: el VIH/SIDA todavía afecta al Sur a medida que disminuye la conciencia

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt. "Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".

‘We've forgotten about the conversation’: HIV/AIDS still hits the South as awareness fades

45 years after the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., the fight against this disease is far from over, especially in the South. According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the South accounted for 52% of all HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2023. "We know that HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate effect on people of color or queer people of color in this country," Professor of communication studies at Vanderbilt University Jeff Bennett said. "You have many people living in rural areas. You might have distrust of medical providers, you have the social stigma.”
