Nigeria's intolerance of homosexuality disturbs human rights activists

By Dalton Cox

DUBLIN- Nigeria’s recently passed anti-gay laws are not something one would expect to encounter outside areas of major media coverage, nor would Dublin be the place one would expect to encounter coverage of this legislation. Founded in 2000, Metro Eireann is Ireland’s leading multicultural newspaper, catering mainly to the diverse population of Dublin.

Black History Month celebrated through song and dance

By Diana Stancy

Whitley Auditorium burst at the seams with excitement Feb. 7 while unveiling an anthology of African works of art performed by Elon University students to celebrate Black History Month. Directed by dance professor Jason Aryeh, the performance highlighted dance pieces learned by students who traveled to Ghana for the performing arts Winter Term program, in addition to pieces choreographed by junior dance majors Brenna Dames and Sophie McNeill. This performance has been a long-time goal of Aryeh’s. “This really was something I was thinking about since I moved to Elon, and I wanted to make it become a reality,” he said.

Confidence shines during Elon winning streak

By Matt Mallian

With 9.8 seconds remaining in its Feb. 9 game against Georgia Southern University, the Elon University men’s basketball team trailed by two points. With one heroic heave, senior guard Jack Isenbarger turned what would have been a disappointing home loss to an 11-13 Georgia Southern team into pandemonium inside Alumni Gym.  Isenbarger’s shot dropped through the net, giving Elon a 60-59 lead with less than a second remaining and stretching its winning streak to four games, its longest of the season. Alumni Gym has long been a tough place to play for Elon opponents.  The buzzer-beating win improved Elon’s record to 5-0 at home in Southern Conference games this season.  Incredibly, it’s been over a year since the Phoenix last lost a home game in conference to a team other than Davidson College. It was Dec.

Challenging the norm with early graduation

By Mary Kate Brogan

If you think about it, four years is a really long time. Four years is a presidency, four years is the time span between every Olympics, four years is the length of Kim Kardashian’s first marriage (and more than 20 times longer than her second, infamously brief marriage). And when you’re 21 or 22, the age of most graduating seniors, four years is little more than one-fifth of your lifetime.

Phoenix softball motivated to prove doubters wrong

By Kyle Maher

The Elon University softball team was less than enthusiastic about where it was picked to finish in the Southern Conference’s preseason poll. The Phoenix, which struggled to a 21-31 record last season, was picked seventh out of the conference’s eight teams, something senior infielder Lauren Oldham insists will be in the back of every player’s mind. “We were told a couple days ago about [our ranking],” Oldham said.
