Alive After 5 keeps downtown Elon buzzing during summer

By Kyra Gemberling

Summers at Elon University are notorious for being uneventful. But if you took an early evening stroll down Lebanon Avenue on June 27, you were in for a pleasant surprise. For the first time, the Town of Elon and the Town Merchants have partnered to sponsor Alive After Five in downtown Elon, a community event that features food, beverages and free entertainment for individuals of all ages on the last Thursday of every summer month. The event kicks off at 3:30 p.m. with the Elon Community Church Farmer's Market, which takes place on the lawn of Elon Community Church every Thursday from April through October. Live music is played from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. as festivalgoers fill the streets while sitting in folding chairs and at picnic tables. Additionally, College Street Tap House and West End Station extend their services outdoors for the event, so festivalgoers can enjoy food and beverages of their choice while listening to the band. Phyllis Creech, director of Elon Recreation & Parks, said the department has wanted to put together an event for the community for several years. "In talking with the merchants [who operate businesses] in downtown Elon, they also expressed interest, so it worked out perfectly to partner together to do something," Creech said.

Unpaid internship experiences under national scrutiny

By Corinne James

Unpaid internships are leaving college seniors broke and unemployed after graduation, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). For the third consecutive year, NACE reported survey results showing unpaid internships do not benefit college students, especially in post-graduation employment. In 2013, NACE found 63.1 percent of college seniors who completed a paid internship received at least one job offer, while only 37 percent of former unpaid interns were offered employment. Debby Wall, director of internships at Elon University, argued otherwise. According to Wall, all internships — paid and unpaid — benefit college students by offering course credit and experience. Wall suggested multiple internship experiences are reasons for employment offers, not the intern’s salary.

The Summer Swing: Snakes and Stephen King

By Michael Bodley

In some capacity, I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I penned my first story in the first grade, a thriller featuring two snakes duking it out over a tasty fly at the top of a “really big rock.” (Spoiler alert: The fly makes a last-second escape.) I’ve filled the time since with sporadic journal entries, essays — some for school, some not — personal memoirs and a couple of dreadful attempts at poetry.
