Elon tennis teams advance to SoCon tournament finals

By Kyle Maher

Sometimes scores can be deceiving. For the Elon University women’s tennis team, Saturday’s 4-0 win against a resilient Furman University team in the Southern Conference semifinals was just that. The Paladins clawed, scrapped and battled, refusing to go down as easily as they did on April 7 in Greenville, S.C., a 5-2 Elon win. “We knew it was going to be a little bit tougher to beat Furman this time because in the tournament everyone wants to win,” said Elon head coach Elizabeth Anderson.

A letter to the Obama administration

By Carolina O'Brien

Dear Editor, It amazes me how bad President Obama’s policies are for the global economy. Instead of supporting actions that could help the economy recover, he opposes anything that doesn’t line up with his donors and his liberal agenda. One thing I find absolutely appalling is his position on putting the burden of our government overspending on American companies.

Student babysitters find rewards in traditional job both on, off campus

By Katy Canada

Furniture, apartments, textbooks, clothing and even pets are among the most common items on E-net’s Want Ad page. But below the television stands, riding lawn mowers and used textbooks, it’s not unusual for students to advertise their services as babysitters and pet sitters. Babysitting may seem like the easiest option for college students who need money, but according to junior Michelle Lewandowski, it can be difficult to balance the strains of college life with such a taxing job. “I have to drive to the job, which is not as convenient as an on-campus job,” Lewandowski said.

Elon University enrollment drops below 6,000 for first time since 2018

Elon University’s undergraduate enrollment has dipped below 6,000 students for the first time since spring 2018, according to the Spring Registrar’s Report released Feb. 23. This decrease comes after an 11.6% drop in enrollment for the class of 2029. Part of this pattern can be attributed to the “demographic cliff,” the decreasing supply of college students from a falling national birth rate that began in 2007. The total undergraduate enrollment of 5,974 is a decrease from the 6,226 students the university reported in the spring of 2025. It’s also roughly 200 fewer students than the 6,191 reported in fall 2025. Though overall student numbers dropped, there was also an increase of 523 seniors, compared to the fall report.
