MLB Preview 2013

By Jordan Spritzer

The marathon that is the Major League Baseball season is about to begin, with spring training camps opening up across Florida and Arizona.  This is no different from every other season.  However, what is different this season is the installment of year-round inter-league play.  With the Houston Astros switching leagues, there are now 15 teams in each league, thus creating the need for an inter-league matchup to occur at all times.  Since its inception in 2007, inter-league play normally occurred over the course of a two-week period in June or July.  Now, it will occur from April to September.

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.
