In a summer exploding with new releases including new albums from the likes of Fleet Foxes, Fruit Bats, Beirut, Bon Iver and Vetiver, it's hard to pick one album from the lot.

Although diversity on campus is now at its highest level since Elon University became an institution, discrimination has not disappeared, and the campus community's commitment to responding to discrimination is nothing new. When Elon College's marching band stopped at a restaurant in Raleigh on the way back from a football game in 1963, the restaurant owner told Glenda Phillips, the first black student to attend Elon College, that she was not allowed to enter.

Sixteen freshmen were evacuated from Hook Residence Hall Saturday morning as a precautionary measure after an elevated level of mildew was detected in the air. The air quality in the building had been tested at least twice per week since the beginning of the school year, when eight freshmen boys were reassigned prior to move-in weekend because of severe water damage in their suite, according to Angel Garcia, assistant director of Residence Life in East Area. "I know it's an inconvenience and we understand that," Garcia said.
When it comes to marriage equality in North Carolina, the polls seem to show the state is confused. Elon Poll results from February indicated the population was split almost down the middle on whether to vote on a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. Only 28 percent of respondents said they supported full marriage rights for gay couples. But senators in the North Carolina state legislature insist they are doing what North Carolina citizens want by giving the state an opportunity to vote on whether the state constitution should include an amendment to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Same-sex marriage is already illegal in North Carolina but a constitutional amendment would make the existing law nearly impossible to overturn. It would also likely deal a harsh blow to the state economy. The United States' economy currently relies much more on the creation of ideas, such as inventions, than the manufacturing of goods, said Tom Tiemann, professor of economics at Elon University.
Jaclyn Cabral always knew she would attend a reputable university. She knew Elon University was her first choice when she stepped onto campus. But what the 2011 alumna didn't know was that she would be without a job months after graduation — and more than $90,000 in debt because of student loans. "You can't get a good job without an education, but you can't get an education without being in debt," she said.
When looking at this season's fall TV lineup, one cultural trend is incredibly clear: women rule. Since the start of the most recent feminist movement in the 1970s, it has been common for female-led shows to dominate their timeslots, both critically and in viewership. "United States of Tara," starring Toni Collette, "The Good Wife," starring Julianna Margulies and "Parks and Recreation" starring Amy Poehler and many others all feature actresses in powerful roles working to get something accomplished. Other shows, like "Law and Order: SVU" show women stepping beyond the gender line and making a difference in a job traditionally occupied by men. New shows this season are also capitalizing on the "girls rule" idea, like NBC's "Are You There, Vodka?
