By Justin Veldhuis

The Elon University football team leads No. 8 ranked Appalachian State University 24-14 at halftime in Rhodes Stadium. The Phoenix scored the game's first 21 points to take a commanding early lead and has not trailed since. After an Appalachian State fumble, Elon got on the board first with a five-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Thomas Wilson to sophomore wide receiver Rasaun Rorie, who caught the first touchdown pass of his career. The Elon defense then forced Appalachian State to punt, and an 11-yard punt set up Elon with starting field position at the Appalachian State 43 yard line.

By Sarah Delke

The registration period at Elon is one that can be stressful, time-consuming and difficult, but there is a new idea that may just make this often dreaded time a much simpler one. According to a recent article in USA Today, many colleges are adding midnight classes to their schedules to make room for more students to get the classes they want. Beginning at Bunker Hill community college in Boston, this idea was brought about with the hopes of offering students more variety in their class schedules. Mark Albertson, registrar and assistant to the provost at Elon University, said it has been several years since midnight classes have been considered.

Sergeant Crystal Sharpe: officer, professor, loyal friend

By Rachel Vargyai

Sitting in her office, gun holstered and badge in full visibility, Crystal Sharpe, adjunct professor of human service studies, reminisces on the 6-foot wall she put up in her backyard to practice scaling for the physical test at the police academy. "Thank God they took that out of the test," she said. Now a sergeant at the Graham Police Department, Sharpe said she found her true passion in law enforcement. But having such a prestigious title as a woman working in law enforcement is no small feat. "Even as a very small child, she had a very unique personality," said Libby Sharpe, Crystal Sharpe's mother.

‘Hemos olvidado la conversación’: el VIH/SIDA todavía afecta al Sur a medida que disminuye la conciencia

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt. "Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".

‘We've forgotten about the conversation’: HIV/AIDS still hits the South as awareness fades

45 years after the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., the fight against this disease is far from over, especially in the South. According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the South accounted for 52% of all HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2023. "We know that HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate effect on people of color or queer people of color in this country," Professor of communication studies at Vanderbilt University Jeff Bennett said. "You have many people living in rural areas. You might have distrust of medical providers, you have the social stigma.”
