Campus sustainability slowed by growth

By Katherine Blunt

Though Elon University’s environmental initiatives have earned it praise from a number of its stakeholders, its rapid expansion has encroached on some of its sustainability objectives and challenged it to find ways to reduce emissions as the campus expands and enrollment rises. Between 2008 — the baseline year for carbon emission  measurements — and 2014, Elon added about 670,000 square feet and about 850 students to its campus.

By Alex Simon

Because of NCAA rules and regulations, coaches can only spend a certain amount of time with their players, but there is no restriction on the amount of time players can spend with the training staff. “The two people who spend the most time with a student-athlete on campus are the athletic trainer and the strength coach,” said Eric Storsved, director of athletic training services.

Former basketball player Adam Constantine takes on a new role

By Tommy Hamzik

The potent energy once displayed on the basketball court is now reaching audiences in a different form. Instead of blocking shots or grabbing rebounds, Adam Constantine ’10 is filling Twitter and Instagram feeds. The former Elon University basketball player has shed his jersey and sneakers  but kept his massive beard for Facebook likes and Twitter retweets in his new role as Elon’s social media manager. It’s a fitting task for the former center, who played professionally in Finland, Ukraine, Germany, Israel and Turkey for four years and who has what friends describe as a loud, outgoing and enthusiastic personality. He’s excited to be back at his alma mater, too. “You walk onto campus and feel how alive Elon is,” Constantine said.

Letter to the editor

By Katy Canada

Written by Cheri Armour Samples ’09 I graduated in 2009 from Elon, and throughout my incredible four years there, I remained incredulous each year when, each April, on a beautiful afternoon, the walls and carpets in the residence halls would be streaked with mud. Incriminating footprints would lead from the bottom of the stairwells to the top, and often, a frustrated RA (me throughout the final three years at uni) would have to report the mess to Physical Plant, who, in addition to their typical duties, had to add “cleaning up after a bunch of over-privileged brats who write condescending pieces in to the school paper blaming the school for their sloppy behavior without so much as a thanks” to their to-do list. I was horrified when someone submitted “University should minimize Festivus damages,” a piece that outlined the reasons why Elon was somehow responsible for the mess that students left behind following the  Festivus romp in the mud.  The reasoning provided for why Elon was responsible was because Elon had not provided students with hoses to clean off with, despite the fact that the school has, for years, attempted to disassociate itself from the activity.

Elon should support current international students

By The Pendulum

Elon University boasts about its international population in many of its publications and all over its website, but this population is marginalized even as the university works to expand it. The university has a small international student population and is making an effort to further develop the program, but in its attempt to increase the number of international students it has forgotten to provide adequate support for the international students already here. According to the Elon Fact Book, 6 percent of all graduate and undergraduate students at Elon — 386 out of 6,483 — are international students.
