Campus flowers freeze in snow, low temperatures

By cbohle

The snowy weather may have closed school for students, but Elon's groundskeepers work extra hard to keep campus looking colorfully filled with flowers as the spring months quickly approach. Soon students, parents, faculty and staff will gather "Under the Oaks" for graduation and the landscaping team is working their hardest to keep the 30,000 pansies Elon has looking beautiful. "You know the term 'pansy' is like a wuss, but actually the pansy is a pretty tough flower," said groundskeeper Frank Clapp. Although students had many snowball fights and snowmen building competitions last week, the pansies will hopefully be able to survive. Clapp said that pansies should retain their durability and the snow should cause the flowers significant harm.

Lauren Snow, a junior at Elon, began to skate when she was 3 years old and then started Synchronized Skating when she was 5 years old.

What started out as a fun event held by her orthodontist turned into hard work and dedication. "I skated thirty hours a week: on ice, ballet training, off-ice training.

Phoenix earns walk-off win at Hatter Invitational

By Kyle Maher

The Elon University softball team split a doubleheader for the second straight day to finish 2-2 at the Hatter Invitational hosted by Stetson University in DeLand, Fla. Campbell 3, Elon 0 In its first game of the day, Elon struggled to get anything going offensively and spoiled a solid outing by junior starter Chelsea White in dropping a 3-0 decision to Campbell University. The Camels jumped out to a 1-0 lead on sophomore first baseman Courtney Klingler’s home run over the wall in left field during the second inning. After holding the Phoenix scoreless in the top of the third, Campbell added another run on freshman right fielder Milly Martinet’s double into left field to score junior short stop Ericka Nesbitt, giving the Camels a 2-0 lead. Neither team’s offense could muster a rally in the next inning, but in the fifth, the Camels scored their final run on junior center fielder Stephanie Jones’s double into right center, which scored junior third baseman Brittany Bruce and provided freshman starter Katie Baker with just enough runs to secure the victory. White (2-1) suffered her first loss of the season despite giving up just three runs on six hits, walking two and striking out one. Elon 8, Bethune-Cookman 7 (8 innings) In the second game of Elon’s doubleheader, the Phoenix bats came alive after staying silent for two straight games, spurring a thrilling comeback in extra innings to send the team back to North Carolina with something to smile about. Freshman starter Alli Burdette struggled early for the Phoenix, giving the Wildcats a run on a bases-loaded walk in the second inning which put Bethune-Cookman up 1-0. The Wildcats would add a second run in the inning on freshman center fielder Destinee Williams’ single to left, scoring freshman first baseman Sabrina Anguiano. In the fourth, freshman third baseman Kaitlin Alamprese singled down the left field line to score junior left fielder Calesha Shelley and Williams and give the Camels a 4-0 lead.

Elon University physics major explores connection between quantum, classical physics in SURF project

Junior Muhammad Awal Tahiru’s project for this year’s Student Undergraduate Research Forum is focusing on how small-scale things move and how to bridge together quantum physics and classical physics. Classical physics deals with the predictable behavior of human-scale objects; whereas, quantum physics deals with probabilities of the smaller, atomic world of particles.
