Alamance Battleground Celebrates Veterans

By jturner22

Preserving the past is what Alamance Battleground reenactor Bill Thompson strives to do everyday during Colonial Living History Week. Thompson has worked at the battleground for 11 years, and he started working during his junior year at Elon University. The Alamance Battleground, named after the Battle of Alamance in 1771, holds historical value because it's said that it hosted the first battle of the American Revolution. The county was named in remembrance, and the local community has since then hosted the week-long living history event to commemorate the lives sacrificed and freedoms gained from that battle. Thompson said he enjoys working there mainly because of the interactions he gets to have with those who have served on active duty. "I've talked to people that've been all over the world," said Thompson.

Elon to rely on strong guard rotation

By Tommy Hamzik

Despite the overarching theme of what the team has lost around Elon University men’s basketball , there’s a wealth of productive guard play returning in the 2014-2015 season. Three guards who started at least 10 games a year ago and two freshmen who could be looked to for big roles will join an Elon team that lost four 1,000-point scorers to graduation. Three-point specialist junior Tanner Samson leads the pack after averaging 9.4 points per game.

Semester at Sea wellness challenge

By Lindsey Lanquist

As many of you know, I’m currently studying abroad on Semester at Sea’s Fall 2014 voyage. We recently left Barcelona, Spain to head for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — meaning we’ll be spending the next 14 consecutive days at sea. To make the most of the next two weeks, my Resident Director (SAS’s equivalent of Resident Assistant), Andrew, challenged me and everyone else on my hall to join him in participating in a 14-day wellness challenge. Andrew created a chart with 10 items (everything from floss to read for 30 minutes to write a postcard to a friend), and the goal is to do each of those items once per day.

"There's nothing else to it, I'm pissed," Waterman said.
