Not to toot my own horn--although I already did so on the airwaves with Rebecca Iannucci on Wednesday--the style section of The Pendulum has been looking awesome.
My assigned article this week was to cover the planning and events surrounding Fellows Weekend.
Why are students always more stressed in the Spring? Winter is over and Spring begins to roll in, and so do the stresses of being a student.
So they did it. The Elon University men's basketball team defeated Georgia Southern University in the quarterfinals of the 2012 Southern Conference Tournament. I wrote here just over 24 hours ago that I thought it was possible, that anything could happen in the Southern Conference Tournament.
Elon University sophomore guard Jack Isenbarger had eighteen points, including a perfect 9-9 on free throws, and the Phoenix defeated Georgia Southern University 65-58 Saturday night in the quarterfinals of the 2012 Southern Conference Tournament in Asheville, N.C.

It’s the faces that tell all, according to Holly Hodge, interior designer for Elon University. “Just to see people’s faces for the first time when they’re walking through when everything is in place — just to see people’s gratitude — that’s what makes what I do all worth it,” she said. Since arriving at Elon about a year and a half ago, after spending eight years working in architecture, Hodge has been involved in the planning and design for the spaces students, faculty and staff visit everyday. “One of the things about higher (education) that I love, when you think about it, is you’ve got everything in this little bubble,” she said.
When staff photographer Al Drago went to photograph Elon Volunteers tutor Eryn Gorang at Cummings High School in Burlington on Monday, he later found a selection of his photos to be unusable...for the newspaper.

Juniors and seniors who wanted to live on campus completed phase one of the housing selection last week.
Elon freshman guard Austin Hamilton took the honor bestowed on him with his usual humility. "It's a great honor," he said about being named to the Southern Conference All-Freshman Team by both the league's coaches and media.
In the past several years, bills to allow same-sex marriage have caused numerous controversies as they have been disputed, vetoed and reversed. Thursday night, The Elon Center for the Study of Religion hosted North Carolina’s first screening of “Question One,” a documentary about the 2009 referendum vote that caused Maine to reverse its move to grant marriage rights to same-sex couples. The documentary, made by Joe Fox and James Nubile, details the battles fought by the “Yes on One” and “No on One” campaigns, groups fighting to vote to reverse and uphold the law respectively.
