Pesky Colts are surprising the NFL yet again in 2013

As usual, the NFL is off to a very confusing start. The Kansas City Chiefs, the worst team by record last year, are undefeated despite the woes of its offensive line, a supposed strength at the start of the season. The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking at a potential clean-house scenario in the offseason, the worst possible scenario for a club that prides itself on stability and constant championship contention. And the Indianapolis Colts, everyone’s favorite candidate for regression in 2013, just blew out the San Francisco 49ers, the defending NFC champions.

The incredible journey: Elon students to embark across India unaided in Adventurists' Rickshaw Run

Most Elon University students are familiar with Bio-Carts, the small vehicles used by members of Elon’s maintenance staff to travel around campus. If you pluck this little electric vehicle out of the “Elon bubble” and place it in Northeast India, people would probably call it an auto rickshaw — a three-wheeled cabin vehicle that serves as an essential form of urban transport in many developing countries. This January during Winter Term, five Elon students will be driving two auto rickshaws nearly 2,000 miles in less than two weeks in an ultimate adventure called the Rickshaw Run in India. Seniors Maria Castine, Will Stirn, Ben Donahue, Jack Halligan and junior Jordan Nulsen will be making this journey.

Students, staff address causes of discrimination on campus

Students, faculty and staff at Elon University converged today to discuss the matter of diversity on campus in the wake of an incident of racial and religious bias. The forum was not only a response to the incident in which a Jewish student and a black student found a swastika, the letters “KKK” and male genitalia drawn on a whiteboard outside their dorm in Colonnades D. It was an effort to address the causes of the acts of discrimination and bias that have occurred on campus during the last several years. “The culture of apathy is part of the blame for something like this,” said sophomore Bobby King.
